The two teams Will cldSn III tHe sec
ond contest at the same time Saturday
and then meet again Sunday at 3
o'clock. Murphy will probably twirI
the game tomorrow and Gomez will
take the last assignment on Sunday.
With such a strong pitching staff
the Blues should cop two and pos =
sibly three games from the visitors.
Today marks the Chino teams first
appearance in Douglas and local fans
are anxious to see what sort of an
outfit they have. Although the Hur'
ley nine has not shown up so we'll ill.,
tho standing to date, they are bunch
of fighters and should give the Blues
considerable trouble. Efforts are be
ing made to strengthen the Chino club
and in the second half it is expected
it will be a strong pennant contender.
Today will be Ladies' day as usual
and a big crowd is expected. Bisbee
is opening with Juarez at that city
today while the Ell Paso Giants are
in Fort Bayard for an important se-
ries there. The Blues and Bees will
probably clash here in the third game
Of the initial postponed series on Mon

here next week, the Blues go to El
Paso for three games and then the
Hurley outfit will be here for the last
series the week following. Douglas
will be without the services of Ches-

A crowd of $4,000 saw the bronzed,
rugged champion give Stribbling an
unmerciful pounding almost from the
start to finish, forcing the battle in
nearly every round and piling up a
margin on points that made the
judges decision at the finish a mere
formality.
The almost continual graphing,
with apparently all the holds in the
catch as-catch-can category used, not
only made the bout a big disappoinr-
ment to those who had expected a
thrilling encounter, but stirred the
resentment of big bulk of the fans
who booed Stribbling throughout the
last half of the fight and jeered him
as he left the ring.
Stribbling, bleeding about the nose
and mouth, seemed heartbroken by
his defeat. He was consoled by MA

GOING ToA FIRE IN NEW YORK

Evidently riding on fire apparatus
to fire may affect different people
differently. Here is the fire COM
missioner of New York City. He rode
to a fire. That ride was described as
"a wild DASH" but TO accidents
married the performance.
Returning from the fire the COM
missioner proceeded to issue orders
which limit the speed of fire appara-
tus responding to an alarm TO tWen-
ty miles an hour in the down town
business district and TO twenty Eve
miles in other parts of the city.
Nor does anyone accuse the COM
missioner of being timid, or failing
to recognize all the advantages to
be had from arriving promptly at the
fire He sees that fires apparatus de-
layed by collisions on the way is not
as dependable as that which travels
with greater assurance Of arriving
before it is too late. Also, he doubt
less took into consiC- ~ation the fact
that the public should not be unduly
exposed to loss of life or limb. Any
how his order seems a sensible one
worth considering as commendable
example.

set UP the claim that he had enter
ed into agreement with his associ-
ates to do no bodily harm to anyone
on the premises of the car barn.
Under such circumstances, If the
plea were accepted. no one of them
would have suffered the full penalty
of the law If the Heinlein plea
were to be regarded rs setting up
precedent, it would follow that in
other cases where murder is COM
mittcd in the prosecution OF a joint
criminal enterprise. even If those
concerned were caught and brought
TO trial, all would escape the death
penalty. unless the actual slayer
could be identified. Doubtless pay
roll robbers working in gangs would
welcome such state Of affairs. It is
conceivable that they might show
even greater readiness to shoot than
they show today.
The unfortunate youth who makes
this plea for mercy is to be pitied.
But the fact remains that the
language of his petition gives evil
dence that he understood the pos
sibilities when he joined in the rob
berry at Waltham. He knowingly
took the chance of being party to
murder, even if it be true. as he
now says, that he attempted to min
inize ii by asking his companions to
refrain from violence And back Of
the case of Edward Heinlein is the
need of the protection of the public
against the robbers who do not
hesitate to murder. In the midst Of
the propaganda for the car barn
criminals, with its monster petitions
its whist parties, and other acces-
series, ii is 10 be remembered that
the law eXacts the death penalty for
murder as a means Of preventing
other murders. in order that decent
folk may 20 about their lawful bust
ness in safety and that homes be
not darkened with grief because rob
bers feel that they may shoot to kill
with little danger of having their
own precious lives cut short.

INDIAN MOTHERS AND SUI.
FRAGE

Most Of US have been impressed
with the idea that the wife of the
American Indian from time i'm
memorial had been that of drudge,
who planted and reaped y. lie her lord
hunted, or fought, or loafed in utter
disregard OF any work to be done.
This conclusion is not disputed by
a translation of the election laws of
the Indian League, OF the Six Ma
tons, but from it we learn suffrage
also was an obligation on her.
Whether she regarded this as
drudgery does not appear, but it is
fair to presume she found more or
less of satisfaction in the authority
placed in her keeping.
Under these election laws, II is
learned. that mothers only had a
right to vote. They nominated from
among their sons or brothers the
men who acted as chiefs of the
groups. These nominations had to
be approved by II different COM
naittees made up of other groups,
before the man could be installed as
chief.
The referendum and recall were
included in the Constitution of the
League. which has been written
down by DR.. Hewitt and is 100000
words long.
Descent was in the female line. A
uoman's husband was a mere visitor
in the group and did not own house
or land. and could only dispose of
personal property.

Editorial Comment
A Pinchot Gesture

tFQDHC Ledger
Governor pinchots action look
ing to the prosecution of violatofs
OF the law at the recent primary
election and TO the framing Of legis-
Ia ton TO prevent the repetition of
the combined purchase and theft
of elections" is a thoroughly char
acteristic gesture. The ends he
seeks to accomplish are timely and
proper But as an active particl-
pant in the effort TO purchase the
senatorial nominat ton at a price of
s1SS, 600, his attempt to pose as the
only unsulhed actor in the abuses
which attended the May primary is
rather ludicrous.
He makes the amazing statement
that lin view OF the enormous eX-
penditures Of my opponents, what
was spent in my behalf represented
the smallest sum on which cam
paign could be made with even the
least prospect of success. In say
ing so much he gives away his own
case. For his own personal out
laws far exceeded those of either
Senator Pepper or Congressman
Ware. And the public will not Tor
get that had he not injected nm
self into the primary in an effort TO
defeat the nomination OF senator
Pepper, the vast expenditures or
which he rightly complains might
never have been made.
When Mr.. Pinchot intimates that
the demand for the repeal or modl-
fication of the primary system
comes solely from politicians who
debauched il, he is wrong. He VIII
find the greatest opposition to any
change will come from that source.
Men and women everywhere are
asking what should be done, not
only TO make impossible that which
Mr.. Pinchot did but also those
things which were done by ard for
Ware and Pepper.
If, by Mr. Pinchot's own adnis-
sion, success at the primary can pc
won only by the wealthy or by
those with rich friends willing TO
nav the price, then there is some
thing radically wrong with the
primary. The remedy may or may
not be a return TO the old delegate
convention. Something must be
done to make it harder to buy as
we'll as. steal elections. 1t may or
NAV not be found in a modified
urinary system. The Governor
utters mixed wisdom and foolsh
ness, but if his committee can ma
a remedy, we'll and good.

Edward N.inlein's Plea
Boston }Transcript)

Tn 2 petition, TO Governor Fuller,
Edward J. Heinlein asks that SEN
tence of death imposed upon him as
party to the murder of the watch
man at the Waltham car barn be
committed to imprisonment for life.
The petition, after declaring that he
did not kill or assist in the killing OF
John Ferneau, says II specifically
requested my associates to do no
bodily harm to anyone on the
premises of the car barn If this
statement is true. Heinlein realized
that, in the undertaking in which ne
was embarking. there was at least
possibility that bodily harm might
be done to someone. He was SUI
ficiently intelligent to know that
when man is engaged in a robbery
for which the penalty is imprison-
ment for life he is likely to shoot or
otherwise assault anyone who inter
feres with him. He knew what
might happen if one of his COM
panions violated the gentlemen's
agreement which he says he request
ed should prevail in his own little
band of thugs.
Garry the plea to its logical con-
clusion. Suppose it had been i'm

trio of bandits killed the Waterman
and that each of them. besides
denying that he was the slayer. had

THINKING IT OVER

Due to scarcity of excitement In
hot weather and the apprehension OF
real estate dealers and land mort
gage holders out in the open spaces
we doubtless will continue to read
much Of the drivel in the so-called
agricultural propaganda that is being
put out.
After the real farmer is done with
harvesting he may look the situa-
ton over from different angles. FIe
Is not publicist, but he has lot OF
common sense when he has oppor
tunity for putting it into effect. He
knows there is no lack OF farmers,
however hard their lot or how many
of them sell their farms for more
than they paid and go TO the city to
tive. If he be OF those who raise
more wheat and corn than the de-
mand requires he is specializing with
the market II he lives near the
demand for the general run of farm
products, he wants that demand kept
up, industries running and paying
good wages. He has a chance 10
compare his lot with that of the aver
age city dweller and to do so with
understanding. After carefully con-
sidering what he observed he is in Il
way to conclude that all things con-
sidered he is doing about as well as
any Of them and moreover is his own
boss and better situated for getting
by pinch than are they.
II then may occur to him that a
lot OF this talk about the impover-
ished farmer not only is untrue but
Is detrimental to him If not huniliat-
ing and doesn't seem to be getting
him anywhere except into disrepute.
One might conclude from reading it
that the man who farms for living
is nunlbskull to continue in that
vocation. although he has gotten
enough out of it to buy and sell many
Of his so-called sympathizers.
OF course he would like to i'm
prove his condit,or. the pesky pests
multiply, the foods, drouths and
frost bother and unless he is able to
take his produce direct TO the con-
sumner everybody in between wants
to get a big rake-off. All ne wants
~ fair chance and he knows he can
Enov EN-; he doesn't ask to be cod
died but treated fairly; he doesn't
expect to profit f. laws that might
cause Industrial idleness and lower
wages.
