Akain the time is at hand when Ken
lucky must choose It's public servants.
This Is. and should be. the hour VI ac-
countinc-whcn the people should take
stock Of their tusiness-check and bal

The ballot is the great weapon Of the
people. BY its fearless and intelligent use
alone can they defend themselves, pro-
tect their Interests and demonstrate their
powers to reward and punish. by the
proper use Of tue bal'ot alone can a peu-
pie establish the standard government by
which they propose To- hc served. An elcc-

right to complain OF the shpwreck u

NEW ORLEANS, March lettings

MALTA to the Southern training camps.
Officials OF the Cleveland ball club
learned that when they sent the uni

Heretofore IL has been customary
to check the uniform trunks through
to the training camp on the individual
railroad tickets Of the players.
But that day is past and gone. A
new ruling which went into effect
a short time since resulted in a charge
Of S4S.21 on the Indians trunks con-
tanning the uniforms, bat bag and
general paraphernalia from Cleveland
to New Orleans, 1t win be the same
story on the trip back to the Fourth
City.
The weight OF the paraphernalia
was something like 500 pounds, which
means that the charge per hundred
from Cleveland to the training camp
was about Sc.
The same rule will prevail through
the American League season. Thus
it will cost sunny Jim" Dunn about
So cents a hundred from Cleveland to
Detroit, something like 50 a hundred
from the Fourth City to Boston and
so on down the line.
The allowance of 100 pounds OF bag

freight on the club trunks and don't
you forget it
