ORE.. MAY 24. . . ',. 1912 and its richness suenis inexhaustible. It is thought there is no other pieoe of land in the United Stafes that oau show a similar record. At its first trial in Maryland the direct presidential primary law gave a mighty good aononnt of itself. Nev er in the history of that state within the memory of the present generation has the political machine of either party failed to diotate the state's ohoioe of a presidential candidate, fear after year, under the old system, the repnblioan machine diotated the ohoioe of the delegates sent to the re pnblioan convention and the democrat ic machine dictated the choice of the delegates to the democratio conven tion. Suoh a thing as the peoplo get ting into the game and ohoosiug their own delegates never entered the head of the wildest enthusiast. Yet at the very first, trial of the direot voting lav, the maohine of ono party is smashed into smithereens. And the maohine of the other party, although it was wise enough to get back of a candidate who has shown surprising strength in other sections of the coun try, who is an experienced politioiau himself and had all of the so-oalled "practical" men of Baltimore baok of him, yet meets with a more than re spectable opposition an opposition stroDB enough to carry 10 or 11 of tbe 23 counties of tbe state, in a trianga lar Debt, lined up behind a college professor. Floyd Payne, Athena High school's entry in "the intersobolastio meet at Corvallis, took first in tbe mile raoe, winning five points for his sobool. Athena tied Eugene and Dayton, win ning over Marshfleld, Grass Valley, Junction City, Wallowa, Lafayette and New here. The local sonool promises to be well represented in athletics hereafter. Tbe snowing made this year is commendable and has instilled insciration for bard and consistent trai'iing. The Kansas City Jonrnal believes the judge or attorney who would no oomplish the greatest good in obviat ing the present widespread popular diHsatisfaotion with tbe oourts and with the lecal Drofesuion as a whole mnst net cater to tbe unthinking clamor for the reoall of judges nor to the virions and wholly indefensible demand for the recall of decisions. At tbe recent meeting of tbe Chicago Bar association Judge B. M. Wanam aker drew up the following indictment expressing tbe grounds of this popular discontent: Too muoh delay. Too mnoh expense. Too much idolatry of anoieut prece dent ; the moie ancient tbe more sc ored, if the ancient condition had long since passed the precedent should go with it. Too many trials aud appeals to tbe disadvantage of the poor end the ad vantage of tbe rioh. Usurpation by courts of legislative light aud power. Too muoh regard for rule, too little regard for reason. Too much jugglory with the tech nical pleader j too little justice for the olieut. No fair-mluded man, whnthor mem ber of the bar nr not, will deny that this substantially covers the ground and it h significant that only one count in this indiotmotit oharges the courts with abrogating any of the leg islative rights of the people, npon whioh so muoh stress is laid by those Who advooate tbe reoall of doeiHlonu. The first base ball strike iu the his tory of the game took plaoe this week When the Detroit Tigers refused to Slay until T? Cobb was reinstated by the president of the American League, who had suspended the player for thrashing au iusultiug rooter in the New York grand stand. .The pluyers have Biuoo returned to the Same after showing their sympathy forCctb, on hia leoommendation to do o, although be is still under sus pension, Lovers of the game uphold Cobb's notion in pommeling the hood lum who insulted him. If the league oiriolala- fall to protect players from persouai insults burled at them from grandstands, "they should not be tlamed., for protecting tbeniselvos. Thoro are places where players have been Jusolted nearer homo than New York, and if porsisted in, ,will broak bp tbe game. An Athena oitizon who Attended & ball game in a nearty town rotuined with tho declaration thai the grand stand in whioh he sat was no plaoe for a lady, so disgusting and ungontlemouJy was the attitude of the rooters toward the playets to the Visiting team. Players and spectators must be protect from rowdyism or the sport will oease to be of interest.

In the early part of the fifteenth cen tury it is recorded that the "grocers' guild appeared In livery of scarlet and green." A few years later scarlet and black were adopted. Funeral services of deceased members "were attended with much show of pageantry." At the burial of Sir Philip Sidney, who was a member of the grocers' guild, his worship the mayor, aldermen and other civic officials were present, "ry dinge in purple.
