Frank Chance hat signed a con
tract to manage the New York Ameri
ca League baseball team for three
year feM war recive $10,000 for h s
ervicea.1'-Forty thousand a year to
manage a ball team shows how i.m
portant ; baseball has become in this
country. ' Million follow th struggle
of the bis league teams for the pennant
and when millions look on the men who
direct the maneuvers of the performers
must necessarily be men of exceptional
ability. ." It doesn't look as- if a man
could. earn forty thousand a year
managing a ball team, but baseball
baa become big business, and big busi
new deals in big amounts.
COHESIVE POWER OF PATRON-
AGE.
Frank A. Munsey, the New York
newpsapcr ti.agnate and Progressive
parry leader, is trying to bring about
the re union of the Progressive and
Republican parties Every one whu
gave the matter any thought musl
have looked for something like this.
The contemplation of so m&ny Demo
crats enjoying themselves around the
jrie counter is having a marked effect
upon our Republican friends. They
are giving every evidence that they
regard the times as very decidedly
out ol joint. They have enjoyed tin-
luxury of an exclusive pie diet so long
that they lave come to regard any
body else 'who shows a fondness for
the political delicacy mentioned as
a bold, bad mat who for the good of
society deserves to be held continually
ia subjection.
It would be fine for the Democracy
if the Republicans would st.iy divided,
bilt uch is the cohesive power of
patronage that no such consummation
cad be looked for, more's the pity.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The General Assembly has organized
and the usual biennial legislative
grind has commenced. George V.
Connor, of Wi!ton, the Demociatic
caucus -nominee, was made speaker
of the House and it is believed that
he will hi) the place worthily. H. N
Pharr of Mecklenburg was elected
president pro tern, of the Senate.
Lieutenant Governor Damghti idge not
having been sworn in yet, he is not
yet qualified to preside over the de
liberations of the Senate. Committee
assignment were announced Wed
nesday by l.ient. Governor Newlajid
Senator Ward of New Bern was made
chairman of the committee on judicia
d'xtnets ana Senator Leslie Davis,
the other Senator from this district,
wa given the chairmanship of the
committee on rules. "Both Senators
are also irembers of numerous other
committees.
The problem of increasing the State's
revenues or ' decreeing k expense:
Until income and outgo are more
evenly balance! than they are at pie
acnt is the most serious matter before
the law-makers
STRENUOUS.
It is not to belinagined for a moment
that Theodore Roosevelt has a mono-
Idy '"on the strenuousnes of this
Country. The other day Woodrow
Wilson- decided to see if he couldn't
prevent the State Legislature of New
Jersey from naming for treasurer a
man whose business connections did
not nuke him an ideal person for the
place although personally he was an
: admirable man and a warm personal
friend of the" Governor. So the President-elect
went to -work and button

lature inlehafTof t Be candidate whose
election bethought the but interest

A man of energy a great a that of
Roosevelt, of judicial temperament
like that of Taft, of courage and state
mam-hip like that of Bryan, Woodrow
Wilton combine in a tingle personality
the -strong point of th three other
' most talked of men of the day.

was , "undiscovered" and people sup

When a law maker faces a proposi
tion like that, if he hasVt got an ex.
traordinary lot of confidence in
himself, he is apt to quail. But we
believe that if the matter of taxation
were adequately administered in the
State, the funds necessary to bring
North Carolina to the front educa
tionally would be forthcoming.
Let's all be bankers. See where the
First National of New York paid
dividends of over two hundred per
cent, in four years.
"Sixty drinks for a cent" forms the
subject of a news item in the Balti
more Sun. Of course it is drinks of
water the best drink.
That tariff "sum" is a hard one, but
then, men drawing pay at the rate of
seventy-five hundred dollars a year
ought to be able to work it out so that
the greatest good will result to the
greatest number.
Somebody's going to get "hurt no
matter what changes are made in the
tariff. If no changes are made those
who will get hurt will be those who
have been getting the small end of the
proposition all along.

pressure is brought to bear on the law
makers to get them to make appro
