Balance of $65
Treasurer's Report Shows Sue.
cessful Season, Financially.
Report Printed Below.

The Orofino Base Ball club en-
joyed the most successful season
this year that has ever been expert
enced in previous times. Treasurer,
r w Merrill's financial report
shows the healthy balance of $69.S3
to the clubs credit after $7S.25 had
been deducted from the net pro-
cneds to build the two bath houses
which were recently constructed al
the eddy. 1t is understood this has
been the first season that local
ball club could ever boast of a bal
ance left over. The club was under
extra heavy expenses as suits and
practically all equipment used. had
to be purchased before the opening
game. Thanks to Orofino's loyal
business men, this expense was met
by their donations, and after the
expense of equipment was secured,
the club thrived nicely on the gate
receipts derived from the games.
Considerable credit is due S. r.
Swantek manager, w. A. Shaw,
H. Lawrence and e A. Randall,
directors, for conducting the affairs
of the club upon an economic basis.
The ball suits were laundered this
week and bats, gloves etc. put
away until next spring, when ad-
ditional equipment will not be
needed. After deducting $500 for
the laundry bill the club will have
balance of $65.00, which will be
sufficient in itself with which to
open the next season.

Late President Has Timely Wal.
lOp for Those Who Want
to Love One Another.

Washington, July Equipments
in the Senate of the most obnoxious
features in the proposed league OF
nations covenant have brought into
the great debate now going on
statement directly bearing on the
subject by the late Theodore Roose-
welt which he made two years ago
on Lafayette Day. He said;
Il frequently meet one of those
nice gentry in whom softness of
heart has spread to the head, who
say: How can we guarantee that
everybody will love one another at
the end of the WARP The first step
in guaranteeing it is to knock Ger
many out 1t is now said that a
part of the peace agreement must
be a league of nations which will
avert all wars for the future and
put a stop to the need of the nation
maintaining its own strength for
its own defense. Many of the ad-
herents of this idea grandiloquently
assert that they intend to supplant
nationalism by internationalism and
the lead in doing this. In deciding
upon proposals of this nature it be-
hooves our people to remember that
competitive rhetoric is poor sub
stitute for the habit OF resolutely
looking facts in the face.
Every American pacifist, is in
actual fact, whether he knows it or
not, the tool and ally of every for
eign militarist and imperialist. We
ought always to act fairly and gen.
erously with other nations. In in
ternational matters l hold that we
should have the same standard of
morality that we have in private
matters. But we must remember
that our first duty is always to be
loyal and patriotic citizens of our
own nation, defenders of our rights.
maintaining her noblest traditions.
These two facts should always be
uppermost in our mind when we
take up any proposal for league
of nations. We can then be loyal
to great ideals as we'll as true to
ourselves.
Test the proposed future league
of nations, SO far as concerns the
proposal to disarm and to trust tc
anything except our strength, by
that rule. In such league we
have to depend for it's success upon
the adhesion of nine nations which
are actually or potentially the
most powerful military nations
Unless our folly is such that 1t will
not depart from us until we are
brayed in the mortar, let us remem
ber that any such treaty. will bt

strength renders it unsafe for any
other nation to break the treaty.
