HARVARD WINS AT HOCKEY.

Boston, Mass. Jan. 12.-Harvard had her hands full to beat the scrappy hockey team from Cornell last night, 2 to 0. The visitors did not have much of an attack, but they opened with strong defensive game and kept it up until almost the end of the sec ond half. Harvard's own defense was good, also, and Goal Keeper Wylde had only seven stops to make

The Ball Player Speaks.

Who was it called for Peace?
 Who was it blasted Tory? Who was it called for surcease
 Of battles, red and gory? Who was it raised a vail
 And put salt in the honey? Who was it cut into our kale
 And grabbed the easy money. When War was at it's height,
 How fair the winds were blowing; We gathered all the tin in sight
 We reaped while they were sowing; But since Peace left it's mark o Fortune, false and fickle-- They'll let you play around the park A fortnight for a nickel.

Tn baseball the addition of one or two first class players will frequently change a second division club into a nennant contender or a pennant winner. There are second division clubs in both leagues that need only two or three good men to rise at once from their winding sheets and take their places with the select. But no one can very we'll tell just what clubs will be affected to leading degrees until the season is fairly advanced.

Variety isn't the only thing to be listed as the spice of life. Uncer- tainty is the spice of sport, and of all the uncertain seasons in baseball, so far as the snuous dope is concerned, 1916 will be the record maker. This uncertainty is due to the scattering of Fed stars among the National and American league tribes. There are no vast quantities of these athletes to be distributed, but there are enough to change the leading aspects of several clubs.

The University of Chicago baseba. team, which as just returned from a tour of the Far East, has better suc- cess with the bat than Griffin had with the racquet. While in the Land of Nippon the Maroon nine played 10 games against Waseda and Keio Uni versity teams and won them all SCOT ing total of AS runs to 10. All told Chicago played twelve games in Japan winning one against the All Americans by 8 score of 20 to 0 and the other by to 1 from the AI-Japan team. A majority of the contests with the Japanese collegians resulted in Shut-out victories for the Maroon players. The entire trip is considered to be one of the most suc- cesstul ever made by a middle western university nine.

Titles.


 The two most interesting champion ships in pugdom are those that take in the heavyweight and the light 1 weight titles.
 And just at present these two seem to be further away from any settle ment. It will soon be two years be- l fore any lightweight championship was fought, whereas the champion ship holder should be compelled to , fight or defend his title at least once every eight months.

The Times is pleased to present
herewith the above splendid likeness
of a leading candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, on the Democratic ticket.
Senator Crossley is comparatively a
young man, though there is perhaps
no one in the State of Missouri of
similar years who has had more ex-
tended experience in public affairs
than he, or who is better qualified to
render to the people full service in
the position to which he now aspires.
He has long since proven himself to
be "honest, competent and Demo-
GRAFT" and what more could be asked
than such qualities, which are in these
days, we are sorry to state, becom-
ing entirely too rare.
The following excerpts from the
Macon Times Democrat in regard to
Senator Crossley were written by one
who knows him much better than we
do, and is but one of the many merit
orious compliments that is being paid
him by the newspaper men of the

TAKES UP TARIFF LAW
TO APPLY AFTER WAR
President Agrees with Majority
Leader Kitchin on Provision
Against Dumping and Unfair
Competition.

Washington, April 3.-President
Wilson and Majority Leader Kitchin
of the House agreed today on general
terms of anti-dumping and unfair
competition legislation to meet con-
ditions after the European war. The
Ways and Means Committee will put
them in the revenue bill which Kitch-
in told the President would be ready
for the House about April 20.
The anti-dumping legislation will
be along the general lines of that
eliminated from the present tariff
law. On foreign goods to be sold in
the United States at less than the
market price in the country from
which they are shipped, the new pro-
vision will impose an additional tariff
to bring the selling price in the Unit
ed States up to what it would be if
the goods were sold at the market
price in the foreign country.
The unfair competition legisla-
ton will be along the same lines as
the sections of the present law APP
plying to unfair competition in the
United States.
The President and Representative
Kitchin discussed protecting the new
ly grown dyestuff industry in the
United States from competition from
abroad, but no conclusion was reach
ed. Kitchin said he expected an addi-
tional tariff on dyestuffs would be i'm
posed in the revenue bill, but the de-
tails had not been worked out.

Washington, ID. c., March ga
resolution to amend the Constitution
and provide single presidential term
of six years was offered in the House
today by Representative Warren
Worht Bailey of Pennsylvania, a close
personal and political friend of Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
The Bryan follower said afterwards
his resolution was introduced without
consultation with the former Secre-
tary of State.

added, "as aimed at President Wilson.
The denomination of Mr.. Wilson is
assured, and, as member of the Res
olution Committee at Baltimore, ! am
able to say that the single-term plank
was never intended to apply to the
candidate named at Baltimore.
have known all along that Mr.. Bryan
did not intend to inject the one-term
issue into the approaching campaign"
Bryan Rejected Plan.
"In the Resolutions Committee at
Baltimore there were discussions of a
plan to bind the candidate of that
particular convention not to serve
more than one term. This plan was
rejected at the instance of Mr.. Bryan
himself. 1t was pointed out by Mr..
Bryan that there had been no con-
sideration of the length of a single
term.
"Mr. Bryan took the view that one
term should be longer than four
years; that it was impossible for a
President to fully work out his poll
cies within so limited time. There
was discussion of term of seven and
six years. 1t was realized that this
question would have to be adjusted
later and for that reason Mr.. Bryan
did not insist upon-in fact, he OBJ
jected to-any proposal that would
bind the particular candidate of the
Baltimore Convention not to seek re-
nomination after the four-year term.
No Nomination When Plank was Up.
when the one-term plank was
written into the Baltimore platform
it was not known who would be the
nominee of the Democratic conven-
ton. Speaker Champ Clark was at
that time leading the baloting.
"All this talk that Bryan construes
the one-term plank as applying to
President Woodrow Wilson is fool
ish."
AS exclusively published in The Re-
public recently, the former chairman
of the House Judiciary Committee,
Judge Henry d. Clayton of the South
ern District of Alabama, has in his
possession letter written by Mr..
Bryan early in 1918 in which Mr.. Bry-

ant-governorship with a good deal of
qualification, as he has been marked
for some years as one of the States
brightest and most capable men.
"His services in the Legislature and
in the Senate have been of such high
order that his friends-not only of
his county and his district, but all ov-
err the State-have implored him to
offer himself for still higher service
and they confidently believe that the
voters generally will recognize his
fitness by according to him the nomi-
nation of a grateful party and later
by electing him by splendid major
ity. Senator Crossley is a
man who is big enough not only for
the lieutenant-governorship but for the
governorship as well, and eventually
that must be considered as the lieu
tenant governor is always called upon
to perform the functions of governor
and may become such in fact-his
wide State experience and general
ability measuring him well up to the
standard.
GAS man, Senator Crossley stands
as high as he does as a legislator, and
possibly no man in public life in the
State has more admirers and more
warm friends who will gladly go out
on the firing line for him. ="

TO STAMP OUT RABIES IN THE
NORTHWEST.

The serious prevalence of rabies IN
the Pacific northwest last year has
drawn the attention of the national
department of agriculture. Secretary
Houston state" .4at $he dreadful dis
ease exists among the predatory and
the domestic animals of four north
western states and spreads rapidly.
He therefore urges congress to ap-
propriate $4,000 for the destruction
of coyotes and wolves and the result
ant preservation of farm cattle, the
loss of which has been heavy.
The secretary makes q good case
for such spending of the nations s
money. The situation was not SER
ious last autumn while his depart
ment was preparing its annual esti-
mates. 1t therefore thought that the
funds already available would enable
it to handle the pestilence in connec-
tion with its regular work. Since
then, however, the conditions have
become acutely dangerous. The dis
ease has spread over so broad a dis
trict that the states affected can not
deal with the trouble. The funds OF
the department do not suffice for Ell
fective cooperation with those states.
1t appears inevitable that the sum re-
uuested from congress ought immed-
lately to be added to the resources OF
the department.

interests is enormous and the menace
to human beings is far from slight
If the serious situation is to be han

emergency measure must be made
Immediately Secretary Houston be-
lieves it practicable for his depart

cal authorities continue to exercise

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday, February II, 1916.
THE DOG P0ISONER.

There are many ways of killing a
dog. but the sneakiest, meanest, most
low-down method of them all is that
one whereby the killer puts out pols-
on in meats to catch the unsuspect-
ing canine. There are many kinds OF
dogs. Some of them are good, some
of them are bad and a great major
ity of them are Indifferent. But Of
ten enough, when the pernicious
poisoner gets busy, it is the good
dog which falls a victim to the NAL
practice. In our opinion, the indi-
vidual who would put out poison
would commit almost any contempti-
BILE crime, for in dropping pieces OF
death dealing meat and other poison
ed food about town, there is no tell
ing where the damage will end, or
how many fine blooded chickens or
fine stock may be the victims. The
poisoner got our dog, worthless pup
no doubt, but when he got the other
fellows dog a valuable animal was
killed. Dog poisoning is a low prac-
tice which ranks with all the other
vile crimes of society.
