We certainly hope that our southern representatives will succeed in squashing the attempt to put an import tax on postash salt. The farmers are just now beginning to crawl and are still mere infants in their line and such a tax will serve only as a serious "set back" to their further advancement and to the advancement of other dependent industries. 1 SOMETHING DOING. It looks as though the crop of ' "fur" which has been allowed to < grow out again on the dispensary grafters is in imminent danger of being torn out again. The Supreme Court has reversed the decision of Judge Pritchard and the disposition of the whole matter comes baclr fj into the hands of the state. So if we are to judge the future by the j past there will be something doing 1 real soon. ' Ol.D AND Nl \\ pt \\ ^ We aie than! ul to see pe weather an : an opp >rtunity given > the farmers to get in some \s k. If 1 the success of the years crop is de-1 pcnaeni upon tnorough preparation of the soil we are afraid that there will be many failures. The short methods are a necessity to many farmers now that they may get their crops in at the usual time. I They will have an opportunity this time to compare the thorough preparation with the old short preparation plan. JUSTICE. The Supreme Court of the U. S. has decided that when the people of a State have been robbed by . . . i grafters from within and accomplices from without that she has wi*. ti*"1 iu sctuc witn the ac-1 Complices upon such terms as will be for the best interest of the peo-1 pic and the worst interest of the grafters. Would it not have been a travesty upon justice for the highest Tribunal of our land to have thrown a cloak of protection around a gang of thieves? TUB BASEBAI I HABIT. The baseball season is open and as usual the fever is registering high. There is no game in existence that I is calculated to excite more intense interest. There is something about it that appeals to tVie passion of man i for something excitable. Young boys become ambitious to excel in the art of playing while other am- j bitions wane and you find him do-! ing more actual work in an hours game of ball than he would otherwise do in a day. The word "dope" is very appropriate and the effect of baseball on the average person is like "dope." It makes one forget everything else for the time being. This would be alright if one game ' did not call for another and another j until one feels that he could not live without it. This is true of f those who witness the game as well L Columbia 3 Festival ! ^Thursday and ~frida'/, ^/{orii 22?2-1 ? ? ?
