Newberry Case.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided that primary cleo
tions are strictly state affairs and
therefore congress has no control
whatever over them. As a result the
prosecution OF Senator Newberry of
Michigan in the U. S. courts was all
wrong and his conviction on a strict
ly technical point was of no force.
Senator Newbc:ry was not as may
have nialiciously persisted in stating
convicted of corruption in the election,
but simply of spending more money
for newspaper advertising than the
act of congress prescribed. 1t was
not even claimed that he did this, but
simply had knowledge that the busl-
ness men Of Michigan were doing it
for him to prevent Henry Ford from
misrepresenting the state.

Printers Strike.

For the first time in many years
there is a general strike among the
job printing trades Of the country.
The printers as a rule have been the
most conservative Of any union, ready
to meet all conditions that confront
the trade, but in the present instance
they are determined to secure what is
in effect ten per cent increase Of
wages in the face Of generally de-
pressed condition of business every
where. 1t simply can't be done. and
the big shops of the country have
mostly protected themselves with
strike insurance. and are closing down
in preference to being ruined. The
strike has nothing to do with the news
paper offices as they belong to a dif-
ferent branch Of the trade and are
operating under long time contract
that is being respected by both par
ties.

Valley High School Contests

Another contest in which the Lamar
High School pupils are interested,

May 9Th. Representatives from the
high schools in the counties Of Prov
ers, Baca, Otero, Crowley and Kiowa

Of these contests.

DEBATE TEAM LOSES
After Winning District Cham pionship
Lamar High School Loses in
First Contest of the
Finals.

The Lamar high school debating
team composed of Miss Angela Col
Inns, Lewis Markham and Fred Stevens
after winning the valley championship
and then the Southeastern Colorado
district championship from Leadville
has at last been defeated in the first
of the final district contests and is
therefore out of the state champion
ship contest for this year The team
accompanied by their coach, Miss Wat
kins, left for Ouray on Tuesday Of
last week and on Friday evening de-
bated the team of that city. They
made a good fight and were only de-
feated by n two to one decision OF
the judges. They have won three of
the four contests in which they have
entered and have reason to be proud
Of the record they have made.
Miss Watkins, their coach, has won
every debate she has coached for since
coming to the Lamar school until this
one, and it is with great regret that
the patrons learn she is the leave La
mar next fall to take better position
with the Boulder schools

LEAGUE FORMED
East Arkansas Valley League Formed
Here on Monday Afternoon.

Representatives of the baseball
teams at Holly, Las Animas, Fort
Lyon and Lamar met here on Monday
and organized league for the east
ern section of the valley. A league
has already been formed of Ordway
Crowley, Rocky Ford and La Junta
and schedule arranged. 1t is ex
pected at the close of the regular
schedules the winners in the two
leagues will play off the valley cham
pionship. The east end league organ
lied by electing S. V. Bates of Las
Animas as president and J. Russell
Mayfield Of Lamar as secretary. The
schedule will be arranged in the near
future. The league is compact in ter
ritory, all points being easily reached
by auto, and the teams should be able
to play out the schedule with the r-i-
imum of expense. All the town c~u
muster plenty of good base ball tai
ent among their home people and thus
much of the expense which has hither-
to been the cause of breaking up the
local leagues will be eliminated. An
interesting series of games should be
the result.

Ball Game.

A large crowd visited the ball
grounds east Of town last Sunday af-
ternoon to see the game scheduled be-
tween the Lamar and Holly teams.
Unfortunately before the finish Of the
second inning a very regretable con-
troversy arose which resulted in sew
eral blows being struck and so much
bitter feeling was engendered that it
was found impossible to continue the
game. The managers of both teams
did their best to keep down ill feel
ing and it is hoped that the trouble
will go no further. The Lamar team
has scheduled game at Holly for the
coming Sunday.

DEADLOCK STILL HOLDS
City Council at Its Regular Semi
Monthly Meeting Holds Tight
on all Matters.

On Monday night the full member
ship of the new board of aldermen met
at the city hall and allowed the month
ly pay roll of all employees whose jobs
are not in dispute. The bills for such
officials were laid on the table pend
ing future action. The matter of fill
ing those positions was then taken up
and three ballots were taken on chief
of police, three on police judge, three
on official paper. with no result and
the matter was then passed. The re-
ports of the clerk and treasurer for
the past year were read, as well as
that of the special auditing committee
composed of ]. d. Spooner and A. H.
Filkins. 1t was shown that the pres
ent system, or more properly lack Of
system, in the keeping of the city's
records makes it almost impossible to
determine the exact condition of any
of the funds and whether the various
city institutions were self supporting
or not. The present system Of keep
ing a horse at the expense of S25 per
month for the city pound. when the
receipts of that institution in fees
hardly amount to that year and
these go to the officers, came in for
much consideration and a resolution
was passed to have all fees paid to
the city funds. A motion was made
by Alderman Myers to collect $50 per
month rent for the use of the resi-
dence at the old water works and re-
ferred to committee on water works.
A number of citizens were present and
at the close Of the meeting several
were called upon and gave their views
on matters under discussion. That
the present situation is going to de-
velop more interest in city affairs and
much economy in the expenditure Of
public funds is evident from the two
meetings held.

Storm Fails to Prevent Throng at
College Play.

Rain and wind did not keep the col
lege chapel from being filled to capa-
city at the presentation of "All of a
Sudden Peggy" Thursday evening.
There were about 700 present.
This play was made up largely Of
new performers, and has brought to
light much new talent. Several of
them have appeared in minor parts be-
fore.
Georgene McAleer, as Peggy made a
decided hit, especially in the second
act where she was SO innocent of all
the consequences of her suddenness.
Miss McAleer took the part of Mrs.
Abel in "Neighbors." The wide differ
ence in this character and Peggy
shows her versatility in acting. There
was nothing of her own personality
in Peggy.-Greeley Tribune.

SCHOOL ELECTIONS
Monday Was Regular Election Day for
School Directors all Over
the County.

The election for presidents Of the
various school boards in all districts
of the county took place on Monday
afternoon and as usual the interest or
lack of interest was a matter due en-
tirely to local sentiment. Some dis
tricts elected without a contest and
few voters turning out, and others had
red hot fights. The biggest fight and
one that attracted most attention was
a continuation of the old fight against
Chairman Henry F. Decker of the
board of county commissioners, which
began at the election last fall when
he was elected as commissioner, and
was kept up in an effort to oust him
from the school board at Bristol Mr.
Decker came through with flying col
ors and a majority bigger than his op-
ponent's vote. He was here yesterday
to attend the meeting of the board of
commissioners and receiving the hear
ty congratulations of many friends.
There are nearly sixty districts in
Prowers county now and presidents
were elected in all and vacancies to fill
besides in some Of them.
