The Western Baseball association
may be obliged to finish with four
clubs if it decides to 90 through.
President j. Stanley Browne has been
unable so far to find a city willing
to take the Dubuque franchise and
that club may disband. Cedar Rapids
also wants to quit. Rockford. Rock
Island and Bloomington want to play
ball, and the 4-club league will start
the season over on new schedule ii
the consent of Ottumwa is secured
which is very probable.
1t was to be expected there would
Ee difficulty in placing the Quincy
Dubuque franchise at so advanced a
stage in the season. Springfield,
Danville and Decatur were reported to
have bid for n berth, but when it
came down to talking business, none
of them could be heard. Mr..
Browne cast about elsewhere endeav-
oring to find home for the wander
ers, but he was finally obliged to
abandon the job. While Mr.. Browne,
as the head of the association, has
doubtless done his best to keep the
league on the move, it cannot be de-
MED that he made a serious mistake
at the outset, and that was in
admitting Quincy at all and par
ticularly without having cent
as n guarantee, whereas the other
towns had each posted $500, and
were not aware that the Gem City
crowd was in on cheap basis
until the first funk came. And
the funker was Quincy. There is
where the trouble began. And
Pc dc ~ hot
induced Rock Island to enter the 6-club
organization against the protests of
the local management that such an
innovation might be practicable, is
ready to quit at her own game. 1t is
hoped that new life can be injected
into Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa, and
that place will yet be found for the
remaining franchise, and that the
league will stick out until the end of
the season, at the conclusion of
which, it is believed, Rock Island will
be done with Fourth of July baseball
leagues. She has worked ana pulled
for the game probably harder than
any other town in the circuit, only
year after year to see some weak
kneed burg drop out and cause the
whole organization to travel skyward.
Rock Island is tired of such business.
The city has been drawing excellently,
has the best team in the association,
one that did not cost cent more than
the others, and is playing ball that
would be a credit to clubs of more
pretentious leagues. To be plain
about the matter, Rock Island next
season will be prepared to travel in
faster ompany-tbe Western league
for instance.

by the Tri-City Railway company,
which is to equip its tri-city lines

several times, neither fender failing

wood that were placed on the tracks.

Gentlemen of the House of Represen-
tativeS:
THE voice of this house has called
me to grave responsibilities. For that
call I am most profoundly grateful. and
1 am keenly sensible of the weight of
the responsibilities that attach to this
great office. 1 am encouraged, how
ever, by the thought that no member
of this body can escape responsibility.

All of US are under bonds to do our
best
The approval of the country; the ap-
prOVal of ones own conscience; the at
tainment of great results, are not Sc
cured by petty contests on narrow
fields, but must be sought and won on
broad, patriotic lines of thought and
action.
1T is my duty, as it will be my aim
and pleasure, to impartially administer
the laws adopted for our government,
but no speaker can be successful un-
less he has the cooperation of the
members of this house.
The generous partiality and kind
ness that have been shown to me by
the entire membership here, encourage
me to believe that such imperfectiOns
as 1 may have will be modified by the
of those constituting this great body.
I am ready to take the oath of Of
fee"
In accordance with the time honOred
