Object teaching is unqueStionably the
most forceful of any method yet en-
ployed. This was practically demon
strated over in Illinois recently. A
young lady teacher was charged with
brutally whipping youngster, and the
case hinged on the wells made with her
switch. The counsel for the defense
undertook to cow. nee the jury that a
very gentle tap with a keen switch
would raise welt This he did by
barring his leg and bring the switch into
practical play. He won the case.

a Fellow Feeling, Eh?

From the Newton Republican.
The Republican papers Of the Seventh
district that are holding up Jere Simp-
sons unbelief as a reason why he should
be defeated, are making mistake. 1t
may be true that Simpson parades his
views Extensively, but the simple fact
fact that he cannot believe all that be-
longs TO Christianity is nothing to his
discredit or against his honor. 1t is
needless to call she attention of the peo-
pie who are in anyway informed to the
fact that some of the brightest minds
that have ever brought blessings to our
race could not accept on jOt or title of
the Christian faith. And those intel
lects were surely as comprehensive, as
penetrating. as weH instructed as are
any in the Seventh district. This sense
Iess talk should be called off. The time
has not vet arrived when things RepuD-

Good Prospect for Next season Records
y The Players and whsrs rhsy
WIN winter.

The fine season Of professional baseball
playing in the Pacific Northwest, consider
ing the many obstacles that necessarily
arise In the organization Of new hague.
has been sufficiently successful to warrant
its continuation. None Of the four sssocia-
tons, excepting perhaps Portland. have
come out even, but that was partially ex-4
pected. as the laying out and repairing Of
grounds necessitated heavy outlay at the
start. and public interest IN the game had
not been heretofore aroused.
The Seattle management lost money
through the lack Of transportation in the
early part of the season, and when the
Madison street cable road had finally
reached completion the memories of the
troublesome times in getting to the grounds
in the past resulted in decided waning Of
interest. This becomes apparent when tits
known that the receipts for the first eigh-
teen games were greater than for any suc-
ceeding consecutive like number Of games.
The greatest mistake made was in per-
hitting Spokane and Tacoma to exceed the
salary limit. and engage teams costing
from s., 100 to So, 900, wien q limit Of 81 600
had been agreed upon. While it raised the
standard of baseball it caused q further loss

Their conduct at home and abroad has
been unexceptionable in character, and
when at home they were received with
more courtesy than any visiting team.
The same thing cannot be said Of the
spokane team and its manager, even grant
ing that the men from east Of the noun
tains are the strongest club. Some Of the
tactics resorted to by Barnes and his play
ers are worthy of the sharpest criticism.
The Portland club has certainly been out
ofluck from the very beginning of the.
season. There has been repeated change
OF managers, . lack of harmonious action
among the players and the team has lost
the majority OF its games by solitary run.
None of the members Of the Seattle team
have yet been notified that their services
will be needed next season, although all
have been reserved. No contracts for next
year will be made until after the annual
meeting of the league directors, to be held
at Tacoma the latter part of the month, at
which time the salary limit question will be
the main topic for discussion. A strong
effort will be made to have the limit fixed
at s., 200, and impose penalty to compel
the managers to adhere to the rule.

of the Game.
Should circumstances ever compel his
retirement from the baseball profession
Billy Earle, of the Tacomas, need never
lack for q means of livelihood. and one
that will bring him before the public. The
little catcher is q mesmerist of no mean
ability. This season he has furnished not
a little pleasure and amusement to his COM
rades of the Tacoma team, and has helped
them to while away many an hour that
would otherwise be tedious under the re-
straints imposed on ball players.
During the Tacomas' stay in the city
Billy gave some exhibitions of his powers
at the Russ house. Different members of
the Seattle and Tacoma teams were made
to perform some most laughable antics
while under mesmeric influence. Dignifed
Oscar France astonished everybody by sing

tons, and even the doughty Cal Broughton
