Close Finishes in Both Leagues In
crease the Interest.

With the close of the major league cham
pionship season just one month Off, 1t is
doubtful If in the history Of base ball the
situation has ever offered more interesting
aspect than the race for the pennant In
both the American and National Leagues
does at present While the Athle. les hold
first place in the American League by a
good margin and New York has a firm hold
on the position of honor In the National
League. neither race is settled to a GER
tainty, and for one month the thousands
of lovers Of the great national pastime can
expect a contest for honors that should
keep the interest at fever heat until the
curtain is rung down on the season Of
1905.
The Athletics are already being hailed as
the American League champions of 1905
and from the way they are adding victories
to their credit it seems almost sure bar
ring accidents, that Connie Mack's team
will regain the honors which Boston Wrest-
ed from them two years ago and held last
year In both leagues it Is battle be-
tween the east and the west, with the
honors so far In favor of the east. New
York has been looked upon as the coming
champions of the National League for this
year. In fact, plans have already been ar
ranged for the meeting of the Athletics
and New 1orks In the series which will
decide the worlds championship. While
these two teams leading in their re-

Summing up the positions in both leagues
the Athletics have much better chance to
win out than New York The Athletics
have series on their own grounds with
the western clubs, and this is where they
should clinch their hold on the pennant
road and it is hardly likely that they will
gain anything while meeting New York.
Boston and Washington. The Athletics
have only six games to play away from
home, three with New York and three with
Washington. and unless the team suffers a
decided slump the White Elephant will
wear championship colors again.
The National League race is still an open
proposition more so, in fact, than the
American League race. New York holds
the lead by fifty points over Pttsburg. but
the Giants have still to make another trip
through the west, and here, is where they
will have to show their best PAGES to win

The speculation which is always 60

main excuse for the existence of the
market. The membership Of the New
York Stock Exchange is limited to
LOO, which have a market valuation
Of approximately $4,000 each.
These memberships, or seats, as
they are called, have no tangible or
taxable value. The exchange is a club

The average capital behind every
membership may safely be estimated
at 100000. There are a good many
members who have very small capital
and who make their living executing
orders on basis of 81 per hundred

Honesty Necessary to Political Sue

1t has long been a common idea
that roguery is essential to political
success.
The News begs to make a correction
and to assert with all possible en-
phasis that the exact opposite is the
fact. No rogue ever succeeded long
in politics. Rogues have now and then
been kept in office by other and ADLER
request that is another proposition.
Honesty is essential to political sue
cess.
Let us illustrate:
Not long age young man made a
start in professional life. He banker
cd for Office. He was undersheriff and
held county Office He moved to
another county and got into the legis-
Eature.. He was now at the crossroads
where honesty pointed a finger in one
direction ard trickery aimed it's index
in another. He was on a committee
where votes were wanted. The situa-
ton became strenuous. Here came
trickery to the fore-what is there in
it? An office was selected and granted.
The deal was made.
And career was stamped 'failuae. -
Here was the starting point on the
road of fakiry. Here is where the
downward slope was reached. Here is
where the train to the slums was tax
en-. That politician is bankrupt
financially and morally. He has no
friends save his partners in dishonesty.
He has been exposed all along the line
of dishonorable life. His biography
contains no oasis of Haerit in it's desert
of all that IS caneemptibIe~ Every cor
poration or partnership that he has
been connected with is in the throes
of insolvency-and his present most
active effort and greatest desire is to
keep out of jail.
The picture is not overdrawn. It
illustrates not only a life, but type
of lives, it portrays not only an Incl
dent, but the unacceptable end of ca
reer of dishonesty in political life.
Honesty is surely a necessity to a
successful political career.

and not with bodies, and that they are
out of their sphere in politics, but
more largely it is due to the fact that,
as Mr.. Colby, the young reformer,
who fought and won battle with the
bosses and graft in New Jersey, told
the Princeton alumni the other night,
they don't understand the game"
And our own association was told the
same by one of their members, Mr..
West, who had learned wisdom IN bat
ties in Philadelphia, and by another,
Rev. S. G. Smith, on whom the lessons
and experiences of past efforts in this
city have not been wasted. Mr.. Smith
told them plainly and correctly, that a
campaign initiated by men Of the cloth
would come to naught, and Mr.. West,
also plainly and correctly, told them
that the movement, to be successful,
must be initiated and conducted by lay
men. For it is they who understand
the game. Mr. Colby, who is entitled
to speak by the book, told his hearers
that eve need in public life today more
reformers who know their business
We have number of amateurs who,
with the best intentions in the world,
fail to make good and accomplish re-
suits simply because they do not under
stand the game. -
There have been notable achieve
ments in city government by associa-
tons of citizens who ''knew the game"
and played it. Chicago, probably, is
the most prominent, because of its
greater size and the difficulties to be
overcome. But victory there was won
only by persistent, continuous, sens
ible, well-directed effort, amply fnanc-
ed. II was supported by citizens who
realized that bad government costs
money paid in taxes, and they put up
money to get good government as an
investment. The intrenched machine
is creased" with money, in. some of
it's forms. When it is not cash, it is
offices, jobs, contracts, or some other
pull on the public purse. 1t lays under
tribute the immoralities, draws it from
harlotry and gambling. This devil
must be fought with fire. Money must
be put against money and it's equiva-
lents.. Organization must be met with
organization anes it manned, with men
who understand the game and can
play it.. And such job must not be
undertaken by prentice hands If the
laymen Of this city wish for better
government, for a return of dollars in
good service for their dollars paid in
taxes, they must unite, cut party ties,
merge political parties in good citizen
ship and officer their organization with
men who understand the game.

Treat US AS Whole.


Representatives of the several organ
izations of railway employees presented
TO the president their protest against
any farther interference with the priv
ilege of their employers to say what
price. shall be paid for the services in
transportation rendered by them. Be-
cause, they said, any farther inter-
ference by grant of power to govern
mental body to say what, in any given
case, is a reasonable price, would react
upon themselves in diminished wages.
In the course of his reply to them, the
president said, II feel that one of the
lessons that cannot be over inculcated
is the lesson of treating our people as a
whole. This leads the ST. Paul Des-
patch to say: That marks the difference
between the president and his audience;
between him and every other interest
that besieges state or nation for grant
or retention Of privilege. The railway
representatives look only to their own
interests; the president to those of all
TIE people. Thank fortune, we have
again president who can look out over
the heads Of the clarnorous crowd before
hin, ana see the great silent mass Of
citizenry and measure the demands of
those before him with their effect upon
the mass if granted.
So few Of our public men think ma
tionally." Whether public in state or
nation, the great ma jority of them think
locally, think selfishly; think only of
the special interest they represent.
Present any large public question to
congress and at once practically every
statesman Immediately calculates how
it will affect him or his constituents
or the interests that sent and keep him
there. When the president sent to the
senate a treaty with Newfoundland that
would have cheapened the cost of cured
fish to all the people, Immediately Lodge
computed how it would hurt few fish
ermen in his state; Foraker and Elkins
and the coal senator's figured on it's eff
feet on their interests. So with the
other treaties; so with the canal CUES
tons; with currency questions. When
the army reorganization measure was
pending Pennsylvania Statesmen"
refused to let it gro through unless their
state militia was taken in bodily. Quay
saw in the statehood bills only means of
letting his partner, Bulb Andrews,
out of his New Mexico railway specula-
ton.
No wonder that our president, seeing
all this narrowness, this provincialism,
this selfishness in men whose first duty
is to all our people, but who make it
their last, if ever, and who saw in this
protest of railway organizations it's
manifestation, feels keenly that zone
