Schmahl Flags NOnpartisan League.


New Ulm.-Un-American, unbusi-
nesslike, undemocratic, and hypocrit-
ical were the terms in which julius A.
Schmahl, secretary of state, arraigned
the nonpartisan league in his address
here at a gathering in celebration of
the homecoming of Brown county s
soldiers, held on the anniversary of
the victory of the New Ulm defenders
against the Indians following the
massacre in 1862. ,...-.
In the great audience were hundreds
Of farmers from the surrounding COM
munity, many of them members of the
nqnpartisan league. Mr.. Schmahl
opened wide the foodgates Of sarcasm
in his attack on the leagues leaders
and practices. .
He pictured the sacrifices and hero
ism of the little group who defended
their homes against the redskins un-
der Little Grow in 1862 and glowing
ly paid tribute to the men who offered
their lives in the recent war.
@@The dangers and evils that threaten
humanity, society, the nations and the
rights Of men did not end with the
war;" he said. 81 am not certain that
the conflict did not accentuate, rather
than lessen, some of them.
'fIn my opinion, one of the most
manifest Of the evils threatening the
body polite is. the rapid and extern
sive growth and spread of the insid-
ious doctrine Of socialism.
Socialism is not naturally indigen-
Gus to the soil of America. Like the
cholera, yellow fever, bubonic plague
and English sparrows, it is an i'm
ported pest. Nine-tenths of the sub
ject matter proclaimed by the social
lists soap-box orators and contained in
the columns of their newspapers con-
sists of violent railing and vitupera-
tive abuse of the church, the consti-
tuition, the law and constituted author
tiles.
Socialism is against everything
that is and for everything it does not
have.
Socialism stands for adjustment
Of individual ownership. The demand
is thus expressed:
Public ownership and operation
of railways, steamships, banking bust
ness, stockyards, packing plants, grain
elevators, terminal markets, telegraph,
telephone and all other public utilities
eff the government has the inherent
right to own and operate a mans
possessions at its own sweet will, it
has the same right to own and operate

A peace treaty has been signed be-

COput SOyS:--

There is little present prospect for baseball league in either Phoenix, the Salt River valley or the state of Art- zona. Every effort, thus far, nas ended in failure to organize sucn league. The first plan, preached by the War Vets, contemplated several valley teams as members. Nothing, further than the first meeting, came of that. The Re publican then proposed a city league, comprising the White SoX, War Vets, Tigers and Cubs. On the night that the meeting was to be held to organize this league, prior meeting of the Great War Veterans took up the sub ject of a league and later that night, suggested a fiye-team league, all bound round with so many restrictions that it didn't look to me that a league could be formed upon such a basis. The War Veterans, however, relinquished the idea, receiving insufficient encour- agement from the fans or the city. Thus, today, there is no movement on foot looking toward league ball. In his efforts to book games between outside teams and local players, A C. Pinney, former manager or the War Vets, who relinquished that position, he. says, to become more active In base bdI1 SGltIdIlyt DEltNGo IG Has HOOhCu a plan whereby league ball may be a 1 resultant development, later in the year. Pinney has begun his booking of games and today, among the games to
 be played throughout the suare, are: l War Vets Vs Phoenix Tigers at East 1 lake Park.
 White Sox vs. Mesa at Riverside 1 Park.
 Tucson vs. Casa Grande at Casa
 Tucson War Vets vs Fort Huachuca at Tucson.
 { Goodyear vs. Chandler at Chandler. 1 Humboldt at Prescott at Prescott. l Phoenix Red SOx vs Tempe at Tempe. | Looking the situation squarely in the i face, there seems to me to be a won derful lack of baseball interest in as l prosperous and well populated a section as this is, that has not the energy to 1 get together, organize and maintain a i local league. The Imperial valley, two i or three years ago, boasted a winter league of big league players and fin- l ished the season with both honor and | cash. There is scarcely a county in a | state in the union, that has not one or more teams that are members Of some sort of league. There ar scores of coun-
 ties within a couple of days ride from
 Phoenix that have an entire league within their own boundaries.
 Maricopa county has enough passing good ball players to make up such a
 league; Phoenix, alone. could make a l respectable showing. Whats Ehe trouble Can anyone say?
 l believe could answer the question
 and go pretty well into details. But. | discretion is the better part. Suffice it to say that petty jealousy and small
 town stuff is doing more harm to the sport of baseball in Phoenix than any
 thing else. There's not enough first
 class sportsmanship; too much stage

 Of genuine fans are waiting to spend their money to see something regular
