 town team by winning Sunday after
 noon on Keefe's Plains. It was a
 good game to watch because most
 everyone likes to see hits and runs
 made and errors always give the
 spectators a chance to blame some
 one, and perhaps use the razzberry.
 But in point of good ball playing the
 game was almost farce. Altogether
 zz hits and five errors were made and
 the score was to 5. Ten hits were
 made off Connors and he walked four
 While his team mates made 12 hits off of Stafford's three pitchers and two
 or them received passes. Hydeville scored once in the first inning. Sulli- van hit to center field and reached first, but Tonoly was slow in fielding the ball so that the runner advanced to second and he was driven in bv Murphy the next man to bat. In the third inning three hits, wild throw and blind throw to second, where there was no one to receive the ball. netted Hydeville three more runs. Tn the fifth inning Lougheed walked stole second and was driven home by Bowden, who made a two sack clout Almost the same thing happened in AAA the seventh inning, when Scussell stole second and came home when Lougheed made a two base hit Fox relieved Webber in the ninth and in this inning Hydeville made two more runs. An error, two hits and advances on fielder's choices did the trick. Stafford counted three times ill the third. Madsen singled and Webber was put on to run for him. Webber immediately pilfered second. Gilman was passed and hit by Cal chera filled the bases. Webber stole home and the other two men came in on wild throws which followed. Two more runs were made in the eighth by means of three hits, one a two base wallop, which were aided by a wild throw to home Hydeyille no doubt will feel that it can claim ST. premacy over the town team. but tnere will always be the comeback that they took the game through a nuke FOX, who was to pitch for StaHord, and who held Hydeyille to put one hit in the first game of the Serles, was unable to reach here owing to trouble with the car he was driy- ing. Wise, with an aching arm, was put in and during the first four inn lngs not one fast ball was pitched to the Hydeville batters Webber went Tn at the end of the fourth and it is well known, even to Michael himself, that although he was a marvel on the mound at one time, his pitching days are no more.

4 covenant with He'll" All hopes Of
acquiring .ayn additional political
strength by the south was gone. The
Free States had clearly stated that
they would exclude slavery from the
Territories and they and the strength
to do it. This would result in nothing
but the dwarfing and the opposing OF
the Southern States.
~ The year 1854 witnessed the foriaa-
ton of new party. In 1856 this
Party, which was later known as the
Republican Party, held its first Ma
tional Convention at, Philadelphia.
This party stated as part Of it's plat
form that it was the duty of Con-
gress to prohibit in the Territories,
'those relics of barbarism polygamy
and slavery" During the four years
which followed the Republican Party
steadily gained in strength. This party
held it's second convention in 1850 and
nominated Abraham Lincoln of Illi-
nois for the Presidency.
Lincoln's attitude in regard to slay-
cry was we'll known. "A resolution
offered in the Legislature of the State
of Mississippi before the election read
as follows: Resolved, that in the
event of the election Of a Black Re-
publican candidate to the Presidency
by the suffrage Of one portion Of the
Union only, to rule over the whole
United States upon the avowed pur-
pose of that organization, Mississippi
will hold herself in readiness to CO.
operate with her sister states Of the
South in whatever measures they may
deem necessary for the maintenance
of their rights as co-equal members
of the Confederacy."

II, as is the old superstition, that the

rest assured that the old order Of
things return. The grasping politi-
clan will meet his just deserts The
Bolshevists may besent to their own
country, and as Emma Goldman, they
will show their love for the Govern
ment Of America by heaping curses
upon it. The I. w. w. will lose their
hold upon the West, and as the State
Of Washington did, SO will the other
infested states of America. South
Dakota may be able to clear herself of
the stain that is now upon her escutch-
con, and even the patriotic Wisconsin
may be able to rise up against the ma
jority of the socialists in their own
state and deliver herself from such
poisinous reptiles as now infest her
fair borders.

who fought for his country has been
relegated into the back ground in the
East, and it is no longer there an
honor to wear the insignia of the world
war, but rather disgrace. The
scheming politician must be destroyed.
The Government of America has been
in their hands long ensugh. The
young men and women of America

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
BY Jim Crawley.

The Old Year has passed. The New
Year has arrived, and has brought
with it, much to our sorrow, the care
and distress that should have been left
behind with the old. 1t should be re-
membered that in the years that have
passed, the coming of the New Year
has been heralded with joy. Today,
this has also been done. We are prone
to forget that the world is facing a
crisis. We are largely too optimistic.
We scarcely stop to consider any OF
the great issues that are before us.
During the past decade many things
have happened. The world has passed
through great turmoil, and when at
last she emerged from the dreadful
thought of being vassal of the
Kaiser of Germany, new difficulties
have presented themselves. When the
armistice was signed on November II,
1918, happiness spread throughout the
civilized world Bells rang out their
glad peaIs, whistles blew, fireworks
were plentifcl, and joy reigned uncon-
fined, for it was thought that the
world was at last free, and that De-
mocracy would never be blighted by
any hand.
How quickly are our best plans de-
stroyed. No sooner had the armistice
been signed and the world prepared
for peace, than a willful set of poll
ticians began the destructive and
harmful work of relegating the peace
treaty into disrepute, by alleging that
it was not in conformity with the
ideals of the American people. The
senate of the United States, the coun-
try that for one hundred and forty
three years, has stood before the Worlr..
as the freest country in existence, b.. $
fought the spirit of the world which
has been inspired by th~ American
government and has ano,nced any at
tempt to make tho ,ost of the world
as lfee as our own country. 1t is
=, = u'' lat Washington advised us to
.sare of entangling foreign alliances
but that was in the days before daily
communication between the nations
before the day when the American
Government G was strong enough to
| Withstand the. forces that might be
brought to bear. That day has pass
ed. It is now the province of America
to lead the other countries of the
| world. She is the wealthiest, the
freest, and the greatest government
| in existence, theoretically, why shoulc
she not be in fact.
For twelve months the Unitec
States has been hinderedAin her de-
velopment by the politicians. In that
time the business interests of the
world have been allowed to suffer
The profiteer has been turned loose
and has been allowed free reign. The
Bolshevist and the l. w. w., as wei
as the Sovietist, has been permitted
to spread their propaganda practically
unhindered throughout the country
| Pandemonium is now reigning. M

foreigner who remained in our coun

And each of US. has this golden goal,

And ever he climbs with a hopeful

With alternate smiles and tears.

Through the storms Of a eeaseless

When his lips are pressed To the

And clouds shat out the light.

To some it's a dream Of wealth,

they are going to vote this year ac-

GIVES TIP ON ROADS
Dr.. Fishburne Tells How to Avoid
Chaplin Mud.

The State.
DR.. S. B. Fishburne, who returned
Saturday from a trip to the noun
tains. gives some valuable tips on
how to avoid the bad~roads near
Chaplin, which he ayers are abnomi-
able. This bad stretch may be cir
cumvented by turning to the right
on the Spring Hill road 20 miles
from Columbia, continuing four miles
to where the road forks and keeping
to the left. On the return 500 yards
after passing the Little Mountain sta
ton the road crosses another which
goes to Chaplin to the right. The.
traveller having Columbia as con-
templated destination should not heed
this thoroughfare but should keep
straight ahead without veering tc the
right. The railroad is crossed just
south of the station and the road runs
parallel to the tracks which are on
the right. If the rnotorist continues
along this route he will eventually
reach Columbia and avoid the impas-
sable slush around Chaplin, said DR..
Fishburne.
