THOMPSON HAS SORE TOOT . Tht Rourkes went through another food three-hour workout yesterday noon when the sun was high in the heaven and the atmosphere fairly comfortable,. Marty Krug started his charges at 11 o'clock in the. morning and he re fused to let them' rest until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. After the fielding and batting practices, Marty devoted fully thirty minutes to, his pitchers, Instructing them how to field their sositions. Men and O'Toole, both veterans of many a campaign and both of whom worked under Marty last year, showed their old skill But it was the way Murphy Currie and Wayne Bar- ham worked that pleased the onlook ers. Both of these youngsters proved nifty lads at scooping up bunts and delivering them to first. Many hurl ers lack proficiency in fielding their positions, ' but from the looks of things the Rourkes will not be so handicapped this yean With a little practice Currie and Barham will be as good fielding pitchers is . the league boasts. .. ' Shag Thompson is the only mem ber ot the. troupe who isn t in great shape in every way. Shag has a bruise on his foot which causes him to limp a little, but outside of that there is absolutely no work for the hospital corps. , The pitchers have been working long enough so that they are begin ning to cut loose quite a bit now and when they face the Brandeis Sunday in the first' game of the year here it is believed they will be able to burn them down the groove in mid-spring if not mid-summer style. ...

Button has handed down a decision in the Cavey against Reigle county commissioners' case. ' The finding of the court is that the effect of the election statute passed in 1905 was to lengthen the term of com missioner's office from three to four vears: that the office was a statutory one and so governed: that the elec tions held in Boone county since 1906 on the theory that the term was three years could have no effect in changing the terms. Cavey was elected in 1909 at what was supposed to be the ex piration of the former term, but in stead he was merely elected for the unexpired one year of that four-year term, and as his predecessor vacated the office, Cavey became a dejurc officer and remaining therein and ex ercising the functions of. his office, Cavey has since remained de jure of ficer. He submitted himself to an election in 1912, which was not a legal election and had no effect upon the term of commissioner in his dis trict, since which time no election has been held at the right time. Cavey re mains as a dejure officer until the regular expiration of the term of the office of commissioner for the dis trict, January, 1919. The injunction against Reigle is made continuous until January, 1919, and the injunction against Cavey, the county clerk and treasurer, relative to drawing or paying warrants for sal ary of Cavey was dissolved and dis missed.

BRYAN WANTS HIS PEACEPLAN TRIED (CootUoed from Vat Oao). many formally approved the plan, al though no treaty has yet been con cluded with it. Shalt we repudiate our own plan the first time mt have an ODoortunitv to employ it? If, as the president recently declared, the Amer- lean pcopic uu uui w,ui w, not worth while to try the peace plan before bringing upon the people the horrors of war? Until an attempt is made and fails, no one is able to say that it would be impossible to se cure the suspension of 'ruthless' sub marine warfare during the investiga tion for which the plan provides. Shall we denv to ourselves the credit of trying to settle the dispute with the treaty pianf , Thinks It Worth Trying. "And is it not worth while to do our part in trying to avoid injury? Would it not be better, as well aa cheaper, for the government to carry on it own vessels such Americans as must go to Europe rather than to en gage in war to vindicate the right of citizens to disregard all risks and ride upon belligerent ships? "Is it not worth while to separate passengers from contraband cargoes, so that the captains ot passenger shi HPS can give their entire attention to the safety of the passengers? Our nation is the world a foremost advocate ot peace. If we go to war it should be for a cause which history will justify. Suggest! Referendum. "If you reach the conclusion that nothing but war will satisfy the na tion's honor, is it too much to ask that by a referendum you consult the wishes of those who must, in case of war, defend the nation s honor with their lives? "As one who expects to live up to a citizen's duties, if war comes, I plead with you to use all honorable means to preserve peace before you take the responsibility of plunging our beloved land into this unprece dented struggle, begun without any sufficient cause and conducted by both sides in utter disregard of the well settled rights of neutrals."

Prominent women in laree cities throughout the country received today irom tne women's committee of the Emer gency Peace Federation telegrams urging them to hold meetings and raise funds to support the peace demonstration to be made in Wash ington at the opening of congress on April 2.
