ball players was Kid Childs of the old
Cleveland team. One night after a
hard fought game in Pittsburg, Childs
was unf ctunate enough to draw an
upper berth in the stuffy little ten
section sleeping car over the B. an(
O. Along about midnight when the
train was rushing around the right
angle curves down il southern Penn
sylvania, the Players were awakened
by a tremendous jolt to the car and
thought the train had run into rock
or another train, but let it go at that.
One peeked out between the curtains
and saw Cupid lying flat on his
back in the middle of the aisle snoring
flung out of his upper berth by sud
uen lunge of the car, but the fall
which would have killed most men,
of his avordupois, didn't even wake
him up.
Frank Bancroft isn't banking on
big receipts at either ball park in st.
Louis this year. "Visitors don't go to
worlds fairs to see ball games," says
Banny. Chicago furnishes the ex-
ample. Every day we played there
worlds fair year we had to chase the
Arabs and people of half a dozen ma
tions exhibiting at the fair off the
field at the Congress avenue grounds,
in use then, and utilized temporarily
as camping place by the foreigners
"They had camels staked in the
outfield, too, and and whenever a
ball went in their direction it was case
Of beating the hunchbacked beasts
to it or putting new ball in the
game.
1--WE filled some of the Turks with in
terest in the great national game,
though, and before the fair was over
they were playing ball. They would
get busy with ten-cent baseball and
toss to each other and get mixed up il
the championship games without wor-
rying a bit. No more worlds fair
baseball for me if they let those gen.
tlemen intrude."

The republicans of Michigan are
pledged by their state platform to make
certain definite changes in the laws of
our state relating to caucuses and con-
ventions, and these pledges will be full
filed. There were general recommend
atoms in favor of caucus and conven-
tion changes in the state platform of
two years ago, but failure on the part
of fine two branches of the legislature to
agree as to the extent of such changes
prevented the passage of any primary
reform ILL. There will be no reason or
room for such disagreement by the next
legislature as the promises and demands
of this years republican platform are
definite in terms and plainly expressed.
1t can further be said in this connection
that the enactment of the legislation
proposed in the republican platform
will give to Michigan more advanced
provisions in the direction of direct vot-
ing than are possessed at this time by
any northern or western state in the en-
tire union.-Cadillac News and Express.

The Presidents Message

President Roosevelt's message to the
G. A. r. encampment at Boston con-
tanned these words:
Four years ago, when your former
comrade, my revered predecessor, Presi-
dent McKinly, being unable to attend
your encampment sent his greetings, he
used these words: "Your patriotic
spirit still inspires the people. 1t led
the volunteer armies which enlisted in
the Spanish war to valiant service in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
and impelled the brave men, who, under
your comrade, Macarthur are now
maintaining American authority in the
Philippines, and those under your other
comrade, Chaffee, who have carried to
our legation and to our citizens in China
the protection of the flag"
What President Mckinley wrote then
is true now. Under the lead of your
comrades the Philippine Islands were
won for the cause of civilization, of
civil liberty and of peace and justice.
At this time it is only under the Ameri-
can flag that the people of the islands
can preserve the public order, the indi-
vidual freedom, and the material well
being which have come to them as the
direct consequence of the deeds of your
brothers in arms of younger genera
ton. The work which has thus been
done will not be undone, for the nation
remains true to the memory of your own
great deeds.

One of the greatest fallacles of the
democratic party for the last eight
years has been the apparent aim of it's
leaders to convince the voters of the
country that it is the real and only
friends of what Mr.. Bryan designated
as the common people," In its last
two campaigns the democratic party,
through its platforms, orators and
newspapers has sought to create the i'm
preston that this nation is divided into
classes and that the republican party
represents the wealthy class while the
democracy stands for oppressed plain
people" In addition to being dema-
gogic, such teachings are positively
dangerous, or would be if so much re-
lance could not be placed on the hard,
common sense and intelligence of the
American voter. But the ''reorganiz-
ed" democracy, claiming its restoration
to sanity and saneness, has included the
appeal to class prejudice in its platform
plank which declares that eve favor a
revision and gradual reduction of the
tariff by the friends of the masses for
the common veal"
The only intelligent Interpretation of
this declaration, granting the honesty
of the party making it, is that the
democratic party believes that we no
longer have free republic, built on
the corner stone guaranteeing the polit-
ical equality of all American citizens,
but that we have a government of
classes, the aristocrats and the plebians.
Such a declaration, by a great party or
ganization, is unjust, un-American and
a betrayal of American political faith,
Aside, however, from the inappro-
priateness of the declaration, the as
sertion that the democrats propose to
reduce the tariff, for the benefit of the
masses, will appeal to intelligent voters
more as threat than a promise. Bust
ness men, manufacturers, farmers,
tradesmen, laborers, all the "classes"
can not well forget the fact that the
democratic party reduced the tariff a
few years ago, when the republican ad-
ministration was dismissed and demo
cratic guidance accepted in the midst of
an era of general prosperity. The mem
DRY of that change is stamped in the
minds of the masses who were robbed of
prosperity and forced to accept adver-
sity. 1t requires high grade of polit-
ical courage to ask them to repeat the
experiment.

ness prosperity?
