WORKING AGAINST ROOSEVELT
Democrats Making Much of the
Labor Issue for Partisan
Purposes.

The democratic campaign managers.
1t is said, are plotting to defeat the nom
nation of President Roosevelt, and they
think they can accomplish this by a
dexterOus use of the Miller incident in
the government printing Office at Wash
ington. They are gathering all the facts
they can find on this issue, with the in
tention of using them in the NEE tings
which will be held to nominate delegates
to the convention next year, with the
hope of turning the president down, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Just at
present, therefore, the democrats liter
airy bureau at Washington is busy in
direction which, they think, will cause
great embarrassment to the republicans.
There is nothing in this Miller episode
which can harm the president or his
party. Mr.. Roosevelt said in the Miller
case that the laws of the nation were
superior to those Of any organization in
it, and that those laws would have to
prevail in the management Of the gov
ernment's affairs. The labor organiza-
tons have accepted this ruling as just,
and they are making no opposition to it.
The more important journals published
by the labor organizations have taken
the presidents side in the affair So far
as can be learned, the Mixer incident is
closed
The president and his party have
shown their friendship for the labor
cause SO often that the democrats who
are trying to make capital out of the
government printing Office incident will
fail In the coal strike last year the
presidents influence aided union labor,
and at the same time gave great help to
the masses of the people, who are far
more numerous and important than the
labor organizations. The one party in
the country's history which has been
the intelligent and persistent champion
of the cause of labor is the republican
party. In it's tariff acts and the home
stead law it did more for the workers of
the country than the democratic party
ever thought of doing, or ever would do
If it could. Neither President Roosevelt
nor the republican party has anything
to fear from the bringing up of the labor
issue in any phase by the democrats.
The more the cause Of labor, organized
and unorganized, is talked about in the
canvass the more votes will be cast for
the republican ticket.
OFree trade looks as promising as
imperialism for the democratic issue.
The democratic party needs time
about five yeaTs-for thought.-St.
Louis Globe-DemOcrat
UTom Johnson says it would pot
have been possible to have found a
better man for senator if Ohio haG
been gone over with a fne-toothed
comb. That appears to be a trife
rough on Bookwalter, who was first
picked by Johnson for endorsement.
John Clarke is fortunate in being
pushed to the front so well after be-
ing taken up as a second choice
Cleveland Leader.

THE FOOL AND THE WISE MAN.

He loved to lean upon the fence
And watch the swallows DART
And hear the lark with joy immense
Let song pour from it's heart.
He loved to linger by the brook
And watch the bubbles play,
And browse and dream above his hook
With trouble far away.
With simple joys he was content,
He had no wish to rule;
Men said his days were all n,isspent
And called the man a fool.
Another where the crowds were great
Went scheming day by day;
He filled mems hearts with fear and hate
And piled his gains away.
He never knew one hour of rest,
His brow was lined with care;
If joy had e'er been in his breast
It had not fingered there.
No birds enchanted him with song,
His dreams were full Of signs,
But people saw him push along
And thought that he was wise.

HANLON AND YANGER
FIGHT A FAST DRAW
Box Twenty Fierce Rounds, With
HOnOrS Even.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. July 2.-The
Hanlon-Yanger fight at the Mechanics
Pavilion last night ended in a draw a,
the end of the twentieth round. Referee
Ed Smith being unable to choose a win
ner between the game little feather
weights. The fight was one of the ferc-
est ever seen in this city. Both men
fought with a vim from the tap of the
bell in the first round until the referee
gave his decision Neither was able to
seriously injure the other. and the con-
test lasted the limit.
From the fifth to the ninth round Yam
ger had slightly the better of the con-
test. He led Hanlon on and by clever
straight leads for the head occasionally
broke through the crouching guard.
which is known as a creation of Han
Ion throughout the pugilistic world. In
the ninth round the tide turned In favor
Of the Californian In this round. by a
series Of lefts and rights to the head.
and occasional shortarm blows to the
body. Hanlon had Yanger in a groggy
condition.
In the eleventh and twelfth rounds
Hanlon's lead was decisive. but In the
thirteenth Yanger recuperated. and at
one time seemed 20 have Hanlcl at his
mercy; but the local lad was too clever.
and by good generalship stalled of what
appeared to be a victory for the Chicago
boy. From the fourteenth to the twen-
tieth round inclusive. HanIon had the
better of the fight. on more than one oc-
casion having the Chicago lad all but
out. and willing to hang on at the slight
est provocation. The decision of the
referee was a popular one with the
crowd. which showed its approval by a
great burst Of applause.

Injunction Against Davis.

Now comes word from Chicago that
George Davis, the New York National
League teams shortstop. has been en-
joined from playing in Chicago in the
series between the Giants and the Or
phans.
Representatives OF Charles Comiskey.
+ OF the Chicago Americans, obtained the
injunction yesterday.
Looks like repetition of the old La
joie-Bernhard case. From the present
, outlook New York will keep Davis. as
1t is hardly probable such a general as
Harry Pulliam. president of the Nation
al League. would allow the playing of
Davis with the Giants had there not
been some perceptible haw in his con-
tract with Chicago.
Even II McGraw is successful in his at
tempt to hold on to the player, the Davis
incident viii have accomplished one pur-
pose, at least-to put the American and
National leagues at loggerheads.
Another baseball war would not come
as surprise to many.

Kelley. many players would shift the
blame for their bad plays on the un-
/ pires by objecting TO decisions that were
entirely correct
And so the wise men would register
a hard kick with the umplres, the people
would think that the players had been
| badly treated, and the umpires would be
numerically roasted.
Evidently the umpires have been ben
Gifted by these early day practices. for
they are now working them In reversed
form, with the result that the mistakes
of the umpires are placed on the play
ers.
1T is not natural for a man when he
sees he is getting the worst of it to sub
NIT tamely to being deprived of his
rights through the shortsightedness of
the umpire.
Sometimes the language used Is too
severe, and the players retirement from
the game is merIted. but II the protest
is made In a decent way it is rather
tough TO have him sent to the bench or
off the field.
THE club owners may know best, but
It Is my opinion that the game will be
more popular If little less power is
given to the umpires."
While Kelley is bothering about the
umpires he is being roasted for the poor
playing Of his team.
The Cincinnati public would probably
be better satisfied if the manager de-
voted more time TO the troubles of his
players than those Of the umpire.
Jake Beckley's work at first has been
of an inferior order ever since his col
lision with Sheckard in Brooklyn. His
throwing arm is bad and his hitting Ear
below his standard OF past seasons.
It is said that the Cincinnati manage
ment is on the hunt for an outhelder. If
he is found one of the present felders
will cover first base and vacation on
the bench will be given to Beckley.
Something is needed to put the Reds in
championship form, and the management
has promised to furnish it.

O'Brien had the best of every round,
but at times Carter hunted him close.
Jack jabbed the Kid with his left almost
at will. but every time he did IT he took
chances of being crossed by Carter's
right. Every time there was a clinch
Carter pummeled O'Brien in the short
ribs and over the kidneys and some Of
these blows hurt. He also caught Jack

ACCIDENTS GALORE
At LOCAL COLISEUM
Freeman and Tanzler Narrowly Escape
Death.

The motor-paced and amateur BIZ
cycle races enticed large crowd to the
local Coliseum last evening.
That hard luck still follows the ad-
mirers OF the cycling game in this city
was plainly evidenced when the tire Of
Bobby Walthours front wheel was
punctured on the fourth lap OF the first
mile. Walthour Immediately dismount-
ed. obtained another wheel, and went
whirIing around the bowl after his
PAGER. On the third lap of the second
mile he met with a similar accident
and was forced 20 drop out, leaving But
ler to finish alone.
In the preliminary practice in the
afternoon Freeman and his pacemaker
Tauzler, narrowly escaped from death.
While speeding at a terrific clip. the
front tire OF Tanzler's motor gave away.
and both men sustained heavy falls
Freeman turned a double somersault
and received gashes on the back and
left knee. while Tanzler's right leg and
knee were so badly cut as to necessi-
tate stitching.

Pulliam's Plan.

Has Harry Pulliam. the young presi-
dent of the National Baseball League,
outwitted the experienced and willy Ban
Johnson and carried out one of the
biggest coups in the history of the dia-
mond game? Has President Pulliam
struck a blow that Will result in the
eventual death of the American League
Reports from the East give news of
what may prove to be the most senst--
tional move in the chessboard OF base
ball politics since Ban Johnson brought
the American League TO the foreground
and forced the older organization into
an acceptance of peace terms.
The move is nothing less than an at
tempt TO corner the baseball market by
the cooperative action of the National
Baseball League and the National As
sociation Of Baseball Clubs. In other
words, it is Pulliam's plan to form a
trust IN baseball players and close all
sources OF supply to the American
League. This he can. II is said. effec-
lively do with the aid OF Pat Powers,
the minor league magnate, who controls
practically every player IN America not
in the two big organizations.
That behind President Pulliam's ac-
ton in allowing Davis 70 play with the
Giants in clear violation of the peace
conference agreement is a daring plan
TO stamp out the American League. Is
now beyond question.

McGraw's Good Work.

In the public baseball eye John J.

only fair material to work with on the
whole. though, with a strong pitching

that 1t has played winning ball. Only the
Pittsburg team has played better boil

ually than the group Of men with which
McGraw has stirred up more pride in a
