That Editorial.

To the Age-Herald:
 r Your editorial of Thursday, declaring that the Age-Herald would continue to work for the democratic party convinced me that the politics of the paper would continue to be soundly democratic. It was an able editorial and thoroughly convinc- ing. It's arguments cannot be answered Those who claim to believe that the Age Herald will become republican in poll tics are actuated by personal motives.

Secretary Herbert has advertised in the Mobile papers for bids for the construc- tion of three steel twin-screw torpedo boats. The successful contractors in Mo- bile will no doubt send their orders for the machinery of these boats, such as en- zines boilers, etc, to Birmingham manu- facturers. The law requires that the ma terial must be of domestic manufacture and also requires that one of these tor pedo boats must be built on the Pacific coast, one on the Mississippi river, and one on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico The Secretary also advertises in the Bal timore papers for bids for the construc- tion of six light-draft composite gun boats. In addition to these boats two new battleships will be built Before leaving Washington for New York Sec retary Herbert directed that the prepa- ration of plans begin at once. In the construction of all these vessels for the Navy a large amount of iron and steel will be used, and already the iron and steel men are making preparations for the large demand. The Union Steel mills of Chicago have just started up, after shutdown of two years, and will give em- ployment to 400 men.

FRAZER WAS y SOFT MARK,

himself and Werrick out and lined
it over the fence. Or if Wilson could

Mari came in on the out of Pickett

In the third, after Fraser and
Hulen died, Lally nit the ball to

Cushman wasn't looking, for Boyle

not make the acquaintance of the
plate again until the seventh, when
Lally hit for two bases and trotted
home in the procession with Werden,

nose for the north side end far away.
Strauss felt encouraged and put it
over, too, making a total of three

DIAMOND DUST.

IT'D buy new players as soon as it is
a possible thing said Charlie Comis-
key yesterday, but every team in
in every league is looking for new play
ers. They're mighty scarce since the
renewed interest in the national game
set in, and the base ball boom which
is sweeping over the country is likely
to keep good players scarce for some
time to come. l see that the scarcity
OF ball players has induced some of the
old haS-beenS to return to the diamond,
and you begin to see the papers talking
again of men who shone in the dia-
mond fifteen years ago. Good pitchers
now are as valuable as sparl lers to a
