THE BEST TEAM.

The race for the Blue Ridge pen
nant ended yesterday when Fredef-
icl1 took a contest from this city,
assuring her VI the honors even
though she has several games yet
to be played. The best team won.
That will not be disputed except by
the fans in each of the other five
towns of the league, all of whom
will insist that this or that element
helped Frederick to win and their
home team is, after all, the best.
We suppose all these alleged ele-
ments did help Frederick, coupled
with some very sturdy base ball
players, very wise Old head as
the manager, q spirit OF fight which
has characterized the nlay Of the

GOOD ADVICE.

The appeal made by the fire mar
shall of the state to teachers and
authorities in charge of school
property to use every precaution
against carelessness which may re
suit In fires is timely and excellent
advice. 1t is an unquestioned fact
that the great majority of fires in
this and every other state could be
avoided by the exercise of fire pre-
vention judgment, through the elm
nation of fire risks and through
teaching the people, and particular
ly the young people, the dangers
involved in the careless handling Of
matches, waste paper, infammable
refuse and other material which
quickly gives rise to a fire if given
certain conditions. Fires mean ma
tarial losses always, and usually
nut life into danger also; there is
no assurance that they can always
be conquered before doing more
than trivial damage, and they u.s.
ually entail losses which are hard
to overcome. Teachers have par
ticularly good opportunities to
teach children the dangers Of fires
and the need for careful handling of
anything and everything which
might give rise to a fire; and the
appeal to the teachers is, therefore,
we'll made

to scrap it out for intermediate
honors. The interest for the next
three days will be in seeing base
ball, without having ones interest
cenetered or even tinged with that
desire to see one'ss home team
come out the winner Of that myth
cal pennant. And of course it won't
be long before the stove league gets
going, and that will keep us busy
until next spring when the Blue
SOx take the field again.

Let us suppose another miner In
another part of the audience
would ask Governor Morgan if he
himself did not sit in the conven-
ton in which this platform was
adopted, within his hearing and
with his apparent approval.
Let US suppose another miner

guard system had not been intro
duced into the legislature, report

at the behest of powerful political
interests, with which the governor
was associated, returned to the
committee, where it died without
a hearing.
Let us suppose another miner
arose, and in stern and raucous
voice demanded to know il Cover

assurances that Sid Hatfield and
