Bankers Drop
Rose From
n
Loop Series

The Bankers cut loose with all the
power they could muster and de-
feated Rose 10 to 4 in the first game
of the play-off series thereby win
ming the right to meet Gro-Swifts
for the first half title.
The first half race ended in a
three-way tie between Rose, Bankers
and Gro-SWifts.
The Bankers took an early lead in
the first inning, scoring one run, and
kept the lead through the remainder
of the contest.
The Bankers pushed over three
runs in the third inning, one in the
fourth and sixth and four in the
seventh.
Rose scored two in the third inn
ing one in the fourth and one in the
fifth when Moseley hit for the cir
cult.
In the four run scoring spree of
the Bankers in the seventh, Rowland
Turner connected for the circuit, with
one aboard the paths.
Williams did the pitching for the
Bankers, with Weldon behind the
bat. Wick pitched and Kearney caught
for Rose.

faction: as c.. 0. P. generalissimo he
naturally is anti administration. But
Democratic Leader Barkley concurs.
Barkley's a loyal New Dealer. II he
could he'd give his chief what the
latter asks for But he knows he can't
depend on his own so-called follow
ing. He. doesn't oppose the executive
mansions program; he simply recog-
nizes that the administration can't
get away with it.
Is 1t So Vital?
Not now, anyway. Barkley doesn't
profess to give up permanently. His
version is that it's best to pass up the
controversy at the current session on
Capitol Hill and go ahead with it
next winter. That, of course, is a
mere matter of ''face saving" If the
President can't win in 1889 it isn't
likely that he can win, with the same
Congress in early 1910. Or at any ex-
ira session meantime.
I've referred to the neutrality issue
as vital.
Maybe it isn't SO darned VITAL
It always has been Congress- pre-
rogative to do the out-and-out war;
declaring The President never could
do it. 1t isn't proposed to let him dc
it under latest proposals. 1t always
has been the case that presidential
policies might leave Congress no op-
ton but to declare war. However, to-
days neutrality law seeks to limit
his pre-declaratiOn power somewhat
to head him off bit.
F. D. doesn't like it. His account
is that the restrictions on him, in
stead of being anti-Warlike, are pro-
vocatory.
Basically there isn't such lot of
difference
l know a congressman Che would
MT be flattered if I quoted him by
name) who told me, "This neutrality
thing has so jumbled up that 1 don't
know which side I'm on
The essential point is that F. D.
has made such an issue of it that it's
vital. It's personal.
If there isn't Warlike outbreak
overseas between now and 1910 It'll
frazzle out between today and next
January If there is an overseas out
break in the meantime it'll tear the
country wide open.
Senator Nye Et AL?
Senator Gerald P. Nye of North
Dakota invented the neutrality act
His aim is to cork up executive
authority altogether. Congressman
Louis Ludlow's idea is to cork uu

18th of Month Is

At the request of Mayor Hen
nv T. Powell, who is manager
of the city water department,
the City Council Monday night
ordered that water service be
cut off promptly the morning oil
the 18th of each month for all
customers who have not paid
their water bills by the 18th OF
the month. The Council last
month voted to abolish discounts
of six percent on water bills paid
on or before the 10th OF each
month. 1t was estimated this
would give the water department
an additional revenue of apprOXi-
mately $4,000 annually.

TWO ARE HELD IN
CIGARETTE THEFT
Albert Cheatham and E. S.
Woody Bound Over Under
Bonds by Mayor

Albert Cheatham, alias Burt Cheat
ham. is being held under ST 900 bail
for his appearance in Vance Superior
Court to answer a charge OF theft OF
cigarettes from Henderson Grocery
Company on May II, while he was
in the employ of that concern.
Mayor Henry T. Powell set the
bond this morning in city court when
Cheatham was given a preliminary
hearing on the charge.
Cheatham was captured in Lynch
burg. Va, during the past weekend,
and Chief of Police J. H. Langston
returned the defendant to the city
for trial.
Officers stated that Cheatham took
two cases of cigarettes, and left a
company truck he was driving at the
side of the grocery company.
E. S. Woody also was bound over
by the mayor when probable cause
was found to charge of possessing
cigarettes knowing them to be stolen
Bond was set at 5000 for his appear
ance in Superior Court.
Nathaniel Woodbridge pleaded guilty
to being drunk, and was fined 81 and
costs.
Reese Hight pleaded guilty to be-

this yarn as wholly false"
It's quite a bit of jolt to be put
on this nations chief magistrates
Ananias list. But did the head of this
particular association show any signs
of perturbation? He did not. He is
sued a statement, on his own part
saying he had every confidence that
his organization repOrtOrial Staff'S
version was strictly accurate. He
didn't specifically charge that the
presidential denial was wholly
false" but he strongly implied it.
Well, that association wasn't in
timidated But were other similar as
Sociations frightened into a greater
degree of discretion? Far from it. A
few days later a second one dis
seminated an account of a purpOrted
conspiracy by the White House ''in-
ner circle, to purge Postmaster Gen
eral Farley out of his cabinet post
!; and his National Democratic Com
fmittee craftsmanship. 1t was a good
deal better calculated than the initial
publication to provoke 1900 Pennsyl-
vania avenue. AT this moment of
writing the President hasn't yet re-
acted to it, but considering how Wig
orously he responded to the first one,
the second instalment out to get
something really vitriolic.
There are three major "spot news
associations in the United States. F.
D. apparently is on the outs with two
of them. Seemingly the third will
have to be mighty careful to escape
getting into the same classification.
It's embarrassing for news as
-sociation to be in bad odor at the
White House, but it likewise is a
sahandicap for the White House to be
regarded with hostility by big news
association.
Not So Bad.
AT that, the Roosevelt-Hull story
wasn't SO bad.
Everybody knows that the Presi-
dent and his state secretary concur
that the executive mansion should
Have more authority on the neutral
ity, issue than present law allows to
it., The only alleged question between
them was this.
F. D. supposedly was inclined to
send quite sassy" neutrality mes
sage to Congress. Hull was said to
prefer milder language 1t wasn't an
essential clash, and it wasn't SO re-
presented.
The second (aIleged) row is diff
ferent.
It's now contended that there's a
= vital party split-that the New Deal
bunch is at odds with the Democratic
national organization.
It's true,' of course. We all know
it.
But the point is:
It's been emphasized on a small
Verbiage issue between President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull If the
President hadn't called anybody a
'liar' it wouldn't have been noticed
so much.
Presidential Popularity?
President Roosevelt isn't so darned
popular with the press gang. He's
told too many of 'em to ''go stand in
a corner" It may sound funny in
print, but the scribes don't like it.
He has his few friends, but they're
not general.

Foreign Mail Service
Suggests Worldwide Co
operation Among Nations

At a recent meeting Of the Rot
ary Club, Carl Fischer, city mail
carrier, presented a discourse de-
signed to acquaint Rotarians with
the operations Of one Of the earliest
agencies for worldwide coopera-
ton, the Universal Postal Union.
This organization formed for world
wide mail service is little publicized,
but is a highly important interna-
tional organization.
Mr.. Fischer stated in part as fol-
lows: I'VE are acquainted with the
inviolability which surrounds trans
portation and the delivery Of DOM
estic mail. We accept, too, as q
matter of fact, low-cost but ef-
ficient handling Of mail destined to
and from foreign countries. The
sending of foreign mail has not al
ways been the simple task which
1t now is"
For instance - Did you know
that: prior to 1874, a letter address
ed to Berlin from New York re-
quired 80 cents in postage II mailed
on a German boat, SIPS II forward
ed on an English ship? It cost 68
cents before 1874 to mail a letter
