McClures for September.

In couple of characteristic timely
articles the September McClures con
tributes to the discussion OF the
two great public questions which
have survived the adjourn
ment of Congress Reciproci-
ty and the Trusts. William Allen
Whites Cuban Reciprocity Moral

since last winter. when his health
broke down, subsequent to the ap-
pearance OF his famous character
sketches of Platt & Cleveland. The
present paper, however. will leave
no doubt of the authors complete
convalescence. He has put as much
life into his "moral issue" as he once
did into his pen-portraits of states
men and politicians. moral or other
wise. Needless to say the article is
strenuous defense OF the Presidents
Cuban policy.
ATTORNEY General Knox, Lawyer"
by l.. 4. Coolidge, is also very much
to the point as characterization OF
the man in whose hands, at present,
the Trust question lies. Both arti-
cles are illustrated with splendid por-
traits.
The human side of the Martinique
disaster forms the subject OF A. +. JAG

Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
Sometimes people are thoughtful
enough to let us know when they have
visitors; and sometimes it looks like
some people try to hide their visitors
from every possible avenue of intelli-
gence to the newspaper man and then
berate US furiously for not printing
their names.
But seriously, the editor Of the
Commonwealth, and any other editor
who runs a personal mention column
feels under obligations to any one
who will give him the names Of any
visitors to the community.
1t is nothing wrong to call the edi-
tors attention to any visitors you
NAV have. Indeed it is much more
reasonable and sensible than to say
nothing about it until after the visi-
tor has gone and then blame US be-
cause we didn't mention such visi-
This is season of much visitation,
and pray don't abuse us when we
don't know it all, but help us and
crafty those who wish to know the
news by letting us know when you
have any visitors, or when any one
goes away.

In discussing the question of
Southern men in National politics,
the WorlTs Work Magazine, for the

They seem never to lose sectional con-

the statement that Southern men
have not risen since the war to the
National occs sion-which is another
way of saying that they have not
made record as great leaders or

ever, more potent reason for TINS

During the campaign two years

The Helena team will be one of the
fastest teams in the Northwest league.
Manager "Jack' Flannery, of the Helena
team, reached st. Paul yesterday en-
route to Helena, and in the pocket Of
the Helena manager can be found the
signed contracts of players who will
make the other teams Of the coast league

Manager Flannery has been in Chi
eago for the past seventeen days, and
during his visit the Helena manager
has been busy pursuing players consid-
cred fast enough for the coast league
circuit. Flannery will not give out the
lineup Of his team, but he declares that
witt two more fast pitchers he will
present a team that will win for Helena
fAA pennant of the Northwest league.
Flahnery has secured the pick Of the
players from the Eastern, Southern and
other minor leagues and he is now
ready to start the race.
The Helena manager spent yesterday
searching for young freeman, the Uni
versfty of Minnesota pitcher who broke
into professional company at the close
of the 1901 season of the Western league.
Freeman worked for Des Moines. Flan-
merry failed to locate his man, but he is
still confident tht when the season starts
Helena will be picked as the winner OF
the pennant. Hjalmer Wigs, the TALL
erratic pitcher who played with Mime
apo1is last season, has been signed by
Flannery and the Helena magIlate be-
lieves that the big fellow will make

:. Last winter we determined that an
american league club would be in New

wheels Of the American league did not
work so fast as we had planned.
F Those persons who say that we can
get no grounds in New York outside Of
those controlled by Andrew Freedman
Manhattan and Polo fields, are pretty
badly mistaken. We know of grounds
that can be obtained by our league at
any day If we cannot succeed in getting
one or the other of the grounds which

means

It will be necessary for the American

This story about our going to New
York is no new one. It was known about
a year ago that our intentions We're to
place team there, and then it was in
,sesnded that the move should be made

1t was stated by Mr. johnson that the
