The man who asserts that the rich are
becoming richer and the poor are be-
coming poorer in this country, does not
know what he is talking about, or he is
a demagogue. The official figures show
that aggregate deposits in the savings
banks of this country have nearly
doubled in seven years. And these de-
posits represent the savings of the com
mon people in this wonderful era of
general prosperity.

STRENGTHENING out the difficulties in
to which Capt. King had gotten him
self. The result was the payment of
S25 fine as well as settlement of all
penalties imposed by umpires this
season on King. who was thereupon
reinstated after promise to conduct
himself in more gentlemanly man
ner in future. King accompanied the
team to Rockford, where today's
game was transferred to get in on a
big Woodmen picnic being held in
that city.
The Davenport Republican seems
TO be an exception to the press in
general on that side with reference
to the misbehavior of the Davenport
captain. King. and while the other pa
pers are still abusing Umpire Mes
mer for removing King from Satur-
days game on account of his rowdy-
ism. the Republican, in the course of
its comments, takes this just and
broadminded view of the matter: 1T
appears that Capt. King has been
guilty of various acts of insubordina-
tion and disrespect and President Sex
ton calls attention in his letter sent
to Capt. King yesterday, to the fact
that King has not been entirely
blameIess and that he has repeatedly
abused umpires and ignored the adj
monitions of the president of the
league regarding better conduct on
the ball field. The record of King in
the office of President Sexton does
not show up very well for him, and
this line of conduct is something that
the patrons of the game here will
never tolerate. The people will stand
by President Sexton for honest ball
playing and for proper department on
the diamond. Rag-chewing and yul-
