Denied Petition

A suit was brought in the U. $.
court to have the CONSUMPTION law
declared unconstitutional and the
attorneys opposing the law invok-
ed the anti-slavery amendment to
the constitution and sought to just
ify their case on this provision.
The court in deciding the ques-
ton submitted, denied the petition
and sustains the law on every point
suggested.
A nation to exist at all must
have that power and at times must
exercise it. 1t was done during the
civil war.
The custom of this country in
depending on volunteers is not the
best. Every young man should be
given military training and then
go to his civilian occupation, what
ever that may be, and then when
emergency demands the army
should be selected in the manner
prescribed by the law recently en-
acted for present purposes. There
ought not to be two rules or meth.
DDS for raising an army for emerg-
encies.
Judge Booths decision will be
approved by all loyal Americans.

Potato Restrictions Removed

Restrictions on importations OF
potatoes into the United States
from Canada and Bermuda were
removed July l under an emend-
ment to regulations of the Federal
Horticultural Board, signed re-
Gently by the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture. The amendment also per.
mits the importation of potatoes
from any foreign countries into
Hawaii for local Use only.
The ruling i'll regard to Bermu-
ola and Canada is based on the fact
that inspection of potatoes import
cd from those two countries during
the last three years has shown that
no serious potato diseases not al
ready occurring in the United
States exist in those regions.
Potatoes for local consumption
are to be allowed to enter Hawaii
from any country, since few pota-
toes are grown on the islands. and
there is more little danger of
diseases damaging local truck
crop. All shipments of potatoes
arriving in Hawaii. however, still
will be inspected before they can
be removed from the docks.
The quarantine against potatoes
from Newfoundland and the is
lands Of st. Pierre and NIiquelon,
on account of the potato-wart dis
case, remains in full force and ef-
feet.

We HAVE WASTED

The exhaustion of the soil is less
spectacular but no less real than The
curtailment of our pasture and forest
areas. A shrewd English observer, the
author Of American Husbandry''
G765) called attention to the reckless
exploitation of the farm lands Of the
Atlantic coast, and denounced as Grim
inal the methods then in vogue. His
anticipation has long since been real
lied, Indian corr can no longer be
grown on Cape Cod.
The cause is not far to seek. Land
has been abundant and cheap in this
country, and labor has been costly. We
have not valued our soil as highly as
we should, and consequently have al
lowed it to wash badly. This waste
farm soil erosion is stupendous. 1t is
estimated that every year 780,0O0,0 900
tons Of silt are carried down American
rivers to the sea, and that this causes
a reduction in productivity of our
farms of $500, 100000 The greater
part of this erosion is unnecessary and
could be prevented by growing crops,
terracing and level cultivation.

Haywood county had a killing frost
Monday night. This is said to be the
earliest date for a killing frost in this
county since 1872, forty-fve years
ago. So with a killing frost on Octo-
Der 8th, the time for growing the pres.
ent crop is made about the shortest on
record. There is much young corn in
the county which has been ruined.
Gardens, too, have been greatly dam
ageo at a time when they were prov
ing a great help in reducing the cost
of living. Late cotton has been very
much damaged but no estimate as to
how much has been attempted by To-
cal authorities on the cotton crop.
The cotton crop is coming in now
and will be in full swing within an
other week or ten days. More than
a hundred bales were sold here last
Saturday. The staple is bringing a
splendid price but the crop will be
short. The killing frost of Monday
night will cause it to open unusually
fast now, so the rush will soon be on.
The work of oiling our streets is
being pushed to completion as rapid
ly as possible. Every street in
Brownsville should receive this treat
ment for the sake of economy, if for
no other reason. Without it our
streets will soon go to pieces again.
All streets will be taken care of if
the people will bear half of the ex-
pense. This of curse will have to
be left to individuals as we have no
front foot assessment law. Howev-
er, where each one does his part the
burden is not great, and, in fact,
amounts to very little in compari-
son to the benefit to be derived.

year.
Jim Scott was a vision of delight.
The Wyoming cUrver has been work
ing out for some time with Pacific
Coast league clubs and is well adj
vanced on his course of sprouts. He
is as tanned as a Palm Beach belle
and his arm has had considerable
work.
Scott is about ready to take his Job
of pitching baseball seriously. Last
year was a lesson to him. The sUs-
pension he was handed hurt his pride
and also lowered his prestige around
the circuit. Jim is out to win back
all of this.
Scott is a comparatively young
man, as balIplayers go, and should
have several seasons of able hurting
remaining in his system. All that is
necessary is close application and
measurably strict training through
the entire season. If he is in shape
he will be a tremendous assistance
to Rowland. Scott has a curve ball
second to none in the league. When
Roger BTesnahan was manager of
the Cubs Roger declared Jim had the
best curve ball in baseball.
Harry Wolfe, the recruit shortstop
working out with the Cubs at Pasa-
dena, is getting much notice from
the war scribes. Not a day goes by
that his name is not prominently fea-
tured in the exhibition game doings.
His fielding or hitting bring him
many words of praise.
Usually it is not we'll to pay too
much attention to fulsome praise of
a recruit on a training trip. The reg
Ulars round to playing form slowly,
favoring their arms and legs, and
news is scarce for the scribes. Any

tiIlates a bit can be sure of prOmi-

JIM SCOTT TO WORK HARD FOR
REGULAR BERTH WITH SOX
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Old Hughie Fullerton says the
Athletics this year will win 20 more
games than they did last. Which is
an awful slam at the remainder of
Ban Johnson's outfit.
White Sox athletes rolled into Min
eraI Wells today and were greeted
with snOw-coYered ground, Jack
Fournier, Joe Jackson, Dave Dan
forth and Jim Scott. Weather condi-
tiOns at the camp are not perfect, but
the men will be able to get into ac-
ton tomorrow for imbering eXer-
ciSes.
Manager Rowland was planning a
slow process of conditioning when he
left here, and the condition of the
ground may not bother him. The eX-
hibition schedule is the smallest the
South Siders have taken on in sew
eraI years and the effort will be to
bring the men to April II in prime
shape for the long grind.
In the past Sox clubs have started
the campaign in the stride most clubs
reach about the middle of July. AS
q result they have gone stale when
the middle reaches Of the season ar
rived, and July and August slumps
have given them setbacks that were
fatal
From thirty to forty games before
the opening Of the season have been
the usual portion Of the Rowlandites
and this has used up the energy they
need for the great drive against COM
peting big league clubs under a sum-
mer sun.
The first and second teams COM
bined will not play as many pre-sea-
son games this spring as have usual
" been staged by the first squad
alone. This program is the result of
long experience and has been adopt
ed only after careful consideration.
