Editor Banner-News:
Nothing in recent issues of
your newsy paper, wherein details to
small degree were given, relative to
controversy between some public
officials bearing on the proper per-
Torrance of their duties.
Readers were forced to conclude
that there was more between the
lines, than was shown by the type.
The old adage that factions speak
louder than words, would lead an
ordinary mind to think, that the law
breakers in making such an early
trip to the county seat, and the dis
play of merriment they exhibited,
when appearing before the authori-
! ties here, to make use Of a western
phrase, they enjoy passing the buck
to the local officials.
Citizens of Bedding at elections
periodically held for the purpose,
place in office persons who are con-
sidered competent to perform the
various duties assigned them. A
blanket criticism of public officials in
| form of insinuations of unfaithful
ness in performance of such duties,
might lead to breach of confidence
on the part of electors but those CT
! tizens who will give the matter,
thought founded on facts, will fail
to see the necessity for alarm at the
suggestion of lack of judicial up
Brightness in a degree to require the
business to the county seat in order
to obtain justice.
If county officials have received
such an impression of affairs in our
city, as the article would seem to in
dicate, they should at once dismiss
the thought, as one entirely unwor-
thy of consideration. J. G. Hicks,

WHY THERE WAS NO GAME AT
WEST END SATURDAY, 18TH

Mr.. Editor:
Will you please allow me a por-
ton of your valuable space, so that
may explain to those who do not
know, just why we did not have a
game Of ball last Saturday at Jour
park.
We had arranged for game with
the Clinton club, and to make sure
that we would not disappoint the pub
lie We called the manager Of the
Clinton club Thursday over the phone
and that gentleman Informed our
manager that they woald certainly be
here without fail. So we advertised
and gave the game as much publicity
as possible, believing the Clinton boys
would be here. The crowd Of fans
were on hand and our boys were on
the grounds ready and eager for the
contest, when behold, just few min
utes before the game was 10 have
been called, we received the follow
ing telegram: Unable to play to-
day. Pitcher and catcher both LETT
suddenly. Unable to obtain others.
Signed, j. B. Buchanan" We were
Of course surprised, since We had
talked to the Clinton manager just
two days before and had received
from him. every assurance that We
could expect them. But this is not
the first time this club has fooled US,
for they did the same thing last year.
Now we are not blaming all the mem
bers of that club for failure to come,
for we know there were some that
wanted to come with what they had,
We gave them their game at
Clinton with the understanding that
they would play the return at our
park. We don't care any more about
playing Clinton than any other club,
but we do like to deal with folks that
Will give US square deal. And GER
tainly the Clinton club hasn't done
that, nor anything like it. # they
wanted to do the square thing they,
could have notified us Thursday or
Friday at the latest and we could pos
sibly have arranged for a game with
some other club. The manager OF
the Clinton club knew Friday that
the pitcher and catcher he wanted
wouldn't be there because he could
Mt raise the price they wanted. We
were entitled to know then and there,
that they wouldn't be here. West
End has always made it a rule to deal7
fair and square and We have right
to expect similar treatment from
others. But if the Clinton club was
afraid to come they could at least
show that they wanted to do the right
king by either notifying us in time,
Or send us check for our expenses

them. The next time we have game
