\ YEARS WORK IN BASEBALL

Had a stranger come into Topeka
last year and stopped a passerby, and
asked him this question: BALL game
today?" hS would have caused a
scene. Baseball basebalIl' would
have answered the man addressed.
Baseball Why, we haven't had such
a thing in Topeka since Noah blew
the whistle for his ark to go out into
the flood"
But the answer would be different
one this year. The stranger would
find good. fast minor league game.
a well equipped park such as few
towns boast of, plenty of spirit and
enthusiasm over the sport, and every
thing else that is enjoyable in base
ball. And it all is the result of zone
years work. What it will mean
after two or three or five years is
something pleasant to contemplate
that is to those interested in baseball.
All this is said by way of giving
Topeka to understand and appreciate
what it has, how quickly it has been
done, and its satisfactory results. The
latter are not all that one would wish
in fact nothing but the pennant ever
suits a real ardent fan. 1t would be
a funny old world if it didn't take
years to build up everything that we
have. whether it be business or pleas
ure. 1t takes time and much of it.
And the fun is found in the building.
After Topeka is again established
a good baseball town with regular
league games in it year in and year
out, then the fans who put their
shoulder to the wheel this, the first
year, will find a heap of satisfaction
that they were present at the revivifi-
cation of baseball in Topeka.
Don't expect too much from zone
years work" You don't expect it
from your business. You look for the
increments of one season to aid you
to make the second better, and the
third better than the second, and so
ad infin;tem. When you started out
for yourself in something new, you
took up the burden and you did not
for a moment think of dropping it
at the end of the first year, through
with your work, and all-succesSful.
And just so it is with the Topeka
baseball team of 1904. 1t was an ex-
pertinent, trial, and. more than all
these, a beginning. The last word is
the one which strikes the keynote.
Remember, what we have now, and
what we are now in baseball, presents
just the totals of zone years work"

Philadelphia Record: Independent
voters are in much higher esteem
than they were twenty years ago,
when the New York Sun invented and
hurled at them the terrifying nick
name of mugwump, in spite of which
they carried the election of that year.
Subsequently they carried the election
of 1892 for the Democrats and the
last two national elections for the
Republicans. and politicians of both
parties speak of them more respect
fully; thye even admit a desire to at
tract the independent vote.

The effect of the war upon American
commerce is shown by the fact that our
exports to Japan for the second quar-
ter Of the year were valued at Sc, s6S, $50.
For the same quarter of last year they
were only S3,5S9,312- This is an increase
OF about 30 per cent. Our direct ex-
ports to Asiatic Russia. which were
S5S4,lSS for the second quarter of last
year. fell Off to sSS.649 for the same
quarter this year. At the same time
our exports to European Russia in
creased slightly. Japan's command of
the Pacific promises to continue for
some time, and the increase of our ex-
ports to that country on account of the
war will amount to large sum.

Women are SO naturally smart it is
queer that they can never learn to

No matter how rich a man is, he
suspects the probity of everybody who
is richer.
When a girl treats a man as if she
were very much Interested in him it
is a sign she isn't.
A girl can fall in a hammock or out
with equal ease according to the di-

PRISONER FORGOTTEN

In the case OF the Territory against
Lau Kwong Kee. the young Chinese
clerk having pleaded guilty to charge
of ENLIGHTENMENT, Judge Gear today
sentenced him to pay a fine of s25, con.
s!dering that Kee had already been SUI.
fciently punished.
Kec, II seems. has been kept in Jail
for almost ten months without any in.
dictment being found against him. To
be sure, he has not been forced to per.
form hard labor, but he abs been de.
prived of his liberty and has suffered
the shame Of Imprisonment.
Judge Gear asked how II was that
a defendant could be kept In Oahu pen.
itentiary for so long time without his
case coming to the attention of any
Grand Jury. Deputy Attorney General
Prosser was unable to explain the cir.
cumstance, not having been informed
OF the facts and knowing only Of the
fact that the present Grand Jury had
returned an Indictment against Kee;
he supposed, however, that II was
through some inadvertance that his
case had been overlooked; such thing
had never occurred before and would
not occur again.
The court remarked that under such
1 system a man might be kept In Jail
until doomsday without any indictment
against him.
Attorney X. w. Breckons appeared
for Kee and told the story OF his i'm.
prisonment.
