ing Of Jaeger.
ABLE TO GET BUT ONE SAFE HIT
Well Played Contest Won Saturday
by Close Score-Arouud
the Circuit.

When Rock Island was at bat yes
terday everything was either an easy
out On the ground or a high one right
| into a fielders hands. Once this
didn't happen-only once. Then Nc
Donough drove one hot over Schoon-
hoven's head that that gentleman
might have knocked down had he been
real anxious.
They looked easy, those straight
ones that the opposing pitcher, Jaeger,
put over the plate. The crowd in the
grand stand could hit every one of
them, but not SO the local players. The
visitors did not have a single hard
chance offered them and there was
no excuse for them to make errors.
Their only display, by the way, was a
foul dropped by the catcher and it did
not count, for the batter was out at
first.
Lundin pitched well enough to
win ordinarily, allowing but seven
safe ones, all singles. But the Rock
fOrdites planted a couple of them in
impossible places in the Outfield when
there were men on bases and runs re-
suited. The other run came on Lally's
error in right garden. That was Rock
Islands only error. On the whole
il was as good game as il could have
been with the home team losing, albeit
it was featurelcss and uninteresting
as a race for scores.
The crowd was the usual Sunday
size and rather better natured than
usual. Something to cheer for was
wanted badly but there was little To
do but root. and that did not bring re-
suits, though some magnificent boost
ing was done.
Rock Island did not have a man
past second base, and the second sack
vas seen but twice. In the absence
Of McQuaid Hagerman oficiated as
umpire and gave good satisfaction.
II was an easy game to umpire.
story of Runs.
The story of the run getting is short.
1t started in the first inning. David
son, the first man up, walked, and
when Lundin located the plate Starke
got hit. Then Dalrymple neatly sac
rficed and big Meek brought in both
runners with a drive to right field.
though he himself died on base, the
next two being easy outs. With one
man down in the third strike Starke
hit safely and took second while Dial
rymple was being thrown out at first.
Then it was up to Meek again and he
responded with another single. In the
sixth Shour hit, stole and then scor-
ed when Lally dropped Hessler's fly
which should have retired the side.

TIE NOMINEES.

The Parker boom seems to have en-
countered a frost. He has instru tied
for him l2s delegates. and Mr. Hearst
already has 100. II viii be seen that
he is very far away from the nominal
tion. especially as the temporary en-
thusiasm which followed the New York
convention has subslded. II must be
remembered, too, that under the rule
requiring two-thirds Of all the dele
gates to nominate a stubborn minority
may dictate who the candidate shall
be.
Contrast this condition with that in
the Republican party. with the "a
delegates which Illinois viii select to-
day pledged to Roosevelt. the Presi-
dent viii have e6i, and not a delegate
instructed for any other man. There
are i4s delegates unpledged, and most
OF these are favorable to Nj. Roose-
velts nomination. The chances are
that the Republican convention will
nominate its candidates by acclama-
ton. 10 elect them, from pressut ap-
pearances, will not be very much more
difficult.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Last week boy accused of burglary
and larceny was discharged in court on
the promise OF relatives that he would
be seht into the navy. presumably that
paternal government might apply
the corrective measures necessary TO
check any tendency towards a crimn-
al career with which home influence
ana authority had been unable to cope.
Such course displays on the part Of
the young mans friends. and of the
court as well, surprising ignorance or
disregard of the navys function.
Judges all over the country resort to
the same expedient from time to time,
only to learn, apparently much to their
surprise. that the United States Navy
Is neither a penal nor a reformatory
institution, and that Il has distinctly
no use for actual or prospective crimin-
ais. ON the other hand recruits are
subjected to a by no means perfunctory
examination as TO their character and
antecedents, and the task Of separat-
ing the moral wheat from the chaff is
performed with conscientious thorough
ness. only a somewhat elaborate dis
play of falsehood or perjury could
bring about the enlistment OF any
youth who has appeared in a Grim
inal role.

ALMOST huMAN-

There are evidences that woman has
at last discovered herself. and 1t ap-
pears that she has no hesitancy in an-
nouncing that fact TO an admlrlng
world.
A Chicago club woman in an address
the other day was good enough to ex-
plain the changes that have taken place
In the relative Importance of,the sexes;
and now If man is blind enough to step
over the boundary he cannot plead
ignorance but must lay whatever re.
suits may follow to his own assurance
or stupidity
A few sentences Of this address are
sufficient TO show the general trend:
Man is a zero in the domestic prob
lem. Although 81 must be admitted

tines shows intelligence that is almost
human, just like the family dog"
Now II this is just estimate we
cannot help regretting mans unfor-
tunate condition. He has either too
much intelligence or too little. He
knows just enough, like dog, to per-
form menial service without any
recompense, save an occasional bone or
a pat ON the head and an appreciative
remark OF mice old fellow" Had he
less Intelligence he could not sign
checks, and hence would not be a zero.
but several degrees below. For, OBJ
serve, the test of zero is ones ability to
sign checks. Had he greater intelli-
gence he might regard himself as the
peer OF woman and then use his option
about depicting his bank account Just
to accommodate the dressmakers, mill
liners and department stores.
AT times he appears almost human. Do
II is a kindly remark. and doubtless
well meaSt. And we are able to under
stand why 50 many persons who living
on higher pane q. e. women) attach
themselves TO these zeros in the capa-
city of wives. 1t Is to help along the
evolution that is working its SLOW but
certain effect. We doubt not that in
time men will come TO wear feathers in
their hats, French lingerie, attend pink
teas, and spend their afternoons al the
club discussing Ibsen-in short, that
man will become altogether human.

PROSPERITY CONTINUES.

Prosperity is largely matter Of con-
fidence. That is probably the reason
that in all the years the Republican
party has been in power there have
been few times Of serious depression.
When there is a promise OF stability
in finance, crops and tariff, money seeks
investment; in other words, becomes
active. There Is consequently a de-
mand for labor, and that keeps w
wages and we speak Of our prosper
ity.
1t is for these reasons that it is un-
wise to be constantly changing our
financial basis or to revise tarin
schedules unless there are very strone
reasons for doing so. a farin law can
not be framed in q week or even In a
month; ana knowledge that tariff
schedules are to be adjusted brings
