THE SPIRIT OF DISTRUST.

LOOKING back upon the progress
of the world, more especially the
gigantic strides made in the pres
ent century, one marvels at the
ability and amount of energy ex-
pended to bring to a successful
completion the extensive central
lied business and social organiza-
tons of mutual nature that are
the wonder of the present age. 1t
is true that some of these enter
prises bearing the generic name of
trusts are not looked upon favor
ably by the entire people, And
yet this very name by which they
are known shows, not only their
origin, but the only means by
which they may be fought. It is
the lack of trust among the people
in general that makes CONNER
cial trust so effective. These COM
bines are built upon the mutual
confidence manufacturers have in
each other when making their
famous deals. When the dear
people recognize the full value of
widespread mutual confidence it
will be quite practicable to restrict
any bad effects of commercial
trusts.
Looking at the subject from a
local standpoint it may be readily
seen that the happiest communi-
ties are usually the smaller cities
and villages in which people be-
come we'll acquainted with and
have mutual confidence in each
other in business and social trans
actions. The young men who
grow up in such localities are never
noticeable quantum in penal in
situations. Virtue, happily, is con-
tagious. Young men brought up
in surroundings where mutual trust
is the pervading spirit Of the people
are bound to grow up into good
men.
It is the spirit of distrust as
most strongly emphasized among
residents of the larger cities, that
is the spawn of a greater part of
the misery and misfortune that
marks the local history of all met
ropolitan centers.
To bring the matter to closer
range, it will be found that wher-
ever distrust is implied, cause for it
is most likely to be created. Even
in prison life it has been proven
that more good can be accom-

The decisive action that The Evening
Star stated week ago would be taken by
Magnate J. Earl Wagner was taken yes
terday, and as a result Tom Brown is an
ex manager and First Baseman Jack Doyle
now handles the reins of control. Mr.. Wag-
ner and Doyle held long consultation this
me rning in the little office at National
Park, and at it's conclusion the local mag
nate said to The Evening Star reporter:
Doyle has now been placed in absolute
control of the Washington club and will
be held accountable for the work of the
team from this out. 1 am sorry that Brown
had to be released but it was a case
wherein something had to be done and
dc ne at once, if the cluo is to make any
kind of a showing in the championship
race Doyle believes, with me, that there
is material in the Washington club for a
first division team, and he will do all he can
to bring the Senators up to their rightful
place in the race"

tcrial outfit when first approached on the
subject, but after considerable parleying

RAN BASES WITH DARING,
The Senator's Hit COnsecutively and
Tie for Tenth Place.

The Senators closed the first series with
the Louisville Colonels yesterday by taking
the fourth game and making it an even
split. Weyhing's fine pitching and the re-
markable base running of the men behind
him landed the game for them, the base
running of the home people being the
best seen here for long time. Nine
bases were stolen by the Senators, four
of them going to the credit of Gettman,
who, since he has taken to sliding has
been remarkably successful in pilfering the
bags. weighing not only pitched good ball,
but he also got in single and a double,
besides striking out four men. He gave
four passes, but only one of the recipients
scored. Fraser was hit for thirteen safe
ties, three of them being three-baggers and
one double. He gave five passes and hit
one man. The fielding was excellent on
each side, each club being charged with
but one error.

result was complete surprise. Laughlin
