1t was anybody's game until the
eighth inning. Solomon was the IA

and much betting was done.
The two teams were very evenly
matched; every man playing his posi-

hits. 1t was a pitchers battle with
Frazee having a little the best Of 1t.

Republican candidates at all we might
as we'll do good job. Only in this
way can the Republican candidates for
state offices be treated fairly, and pros
pective candidates for minor places
upon the state ticket be saved the
trouble and humility of being offered
up as a sacrifice.
If there is need Of nominations be-
ing made in order to maintain a Demo-
cratic organization then why endorse
any of the Republican candidates ex-
cept the justices of the supreme court?
If the Democrats are going to endorse
the Republican candidates let them
clear the atmosphere by endorsing all
against whom they do not intend to
maintain a real contest. If they are
going to maintain a Democratic Or
ganization let them nominate Demo-
cratic candidates for all political offices
so that Democrats of the state may
have candidates for whom to vote

ENGLISH CATHOLIC OPINION.

1t Is a pleasant sign of the change
of heart among small but influential
section of the English Catholics to
note the agreeable things the London
Tablet is now frequently saying or
quoting, with evident approval, in re-
gard to the Irish Nationalist, says the
Boston Pilot. No doubt the expressed
favorable sentiment of King Edward
to Irish elf-government has had its
effect: but we believe that the thorough
awakening of the English Catho-
lies to their need of Irish help in the
struggle for their schools under the
Birrell Education act has been equally
influential.
Speaking of the governments at
tempt to closure the Education bill by
compartments, the Tablet confidently
counts on the continued opposition of
the Irish Party as the historic enemies

ton. There was a time-but let US

Archbishop O'Connell, of Boston, in
recent address, vigorously scored the
professional politician who processes
ardent Catholicity at election time but
who grows cold in practice of the faith
when his selfishness is gratifled in
being boosted into office by dupes,"
says the Michigan Catholic. His
Grace says of this class Of Catholic
vote seekers: I believe that no mere
profession of faith is sufficient grounds
for the election of any man to public
office, and believe also that no man
who simply calls himself Catholic
should have from that claim alone any
right to public Office" The remarks of
Archbishop O'Connell have local ap-
plication. Right at home we have nom
practical Catholic politicians, who
about election time are the friendliest,
most unselfish and most endearing of
men. Then they are willing to suffer
martyrdom for the faith to gain an
end. But their saintliness disappears
when returned to Office"

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

National politics have taken most
interesting turn in the last few weeks.
1t is everywhere conceded that William
]. Bryan will be the next Democratic
nominee. Nothing can prevent his
nomination except an accident to him.
sef or his positive refusal to again
lead the party. Peculiarly enough Re-
publican leaders are afraid that he will
be elected. This admission on the
part Of the Republicans within two
years after the overwhelming victory
of 1904 is remarkable. Indeed many
Republicans admit that the only way
to secure Republican victory in 1908
is to renominate Roosevelt Will
Roosevelt take the nomination is the
all absorbing question among Republic
cans. On the night of election in 1904
Roosevelt announced to the country
that he would not under any circum-
stances stand for another election. He
has affirmed this determination sew
eral times since. Roosevelt has not
made many political mistakes in his
career. Up to the present time his
record as president has been brilliant.
Unless he does something between
now and the end of his term decidedly
Unpopular he can retire from the
presidential Office with the full con-
seriousness that history will accord him
a place among the very greatest of
our presidents. His announcement in
1904 was that he would not again
stand as candidate for the prcsi-
dency. 1t was not the ordinary an
nouncement Of candidates seeking Of
flee to the effect that they are not
candidates. He probably had in mind

feat the proposed Sunday observance
law over in Canada" says the Catholic
Sun. AS stated in this journal last
week, the bill is approved by the Cath
Ollie hierarchy and was introduced by
the present Canadian Chief Justice.
Yet it has its enemies. There are
those who, through selfish motives,
would have a wide-open Sunday OBJ
tain in every large city, no matter how
many thousands might be wrecked. We
find the following in the current True
Witness (Catholic) of Montreal:
Province Of Quebec need not be mis-
led by the poor argument so much
heard against the Sunday observance
bill that it is Il thing dictated by
Ontario parsons and preachers. No
matter by whom dictated, Sunday OBJ
servance is according to Catholic con-
ScientiOuS practice, and we have not
far to go to find who it's most earnest
teachers are. The Ontario parsons
and preachers are certainly not afraid
of their own prestige when they give
the credit which is his due in this
regard to the beloved Archbishop of
Montreal.
Since it is Il government measure
it can scarcely fail to pass. The Arch
bishops and Bishops of Canada may be
trusted to see to it that designing agi-
tatOrs shall not have power to render
it a dead letter after 1t becomes law.
By the by, it is pleasant to find the
Ontario preachers so willing to give
credit to Il Catholic Archbishop"

1t is reported that the French Cath
olics of New England are to hold a
convention in September for the pur-
pose of starting a movement to Sc
cure French priests and bishops where
French Catholics predominant. In sup
port Of this movement it is proposed
that the next collection Of Peters
pence, so far as French Catholics are
concerned, shall be taken up independ-
emily and forwarded to Rome, and thus
demonstrate the power and numbers of
French Catholics. There has been a
considerable increase in the number
of French in the New England states,
especially in Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. 1t seems, however, that it is
an inopportune time for the French
in this country to make an appeal of
this kind to Rome.

The Democrats are talking about
carrying Kansas this fall. They have
made a good start by nominating Ex-
Senator William A. Harris. Harris is
one of the ablest men in the country.
His record while in the United States
Senate stamps him as man we'll fit
ted for high political position. He
ought to be elected but it is almost too
much to expect. Yet the farmers of
Kansas may wake up and do little
investigating themselves this fall.
In his opening speech Mr.. Harris
framed a crisp indictment of Repubi-

Republicans in office year after year;
we have had rulers of all sorts; we
have had changes and counter

When Secretary Taft was delivering
his speech before the North Carolina
Republicans he happened to mention
the name of Bryan. The mention of Mr.
Bryan's name drew forth great APP
plause. This proves what Secretary
Taft said in his speech: That there
We're no Republicans in the south. 1t
must be that certain Democrats turn
Republican after presidential elections
when the Republicans are successful
for the purpose of securing federal pat
rOnage, but when it comes to voting
on election day there is just one party
in the South that is allowed to vote,
and that is the Democratic party.

to one day in the year, they drove
thousands of people with normal nerv-
Gus systems away from the cities into
remote country districts at consider
able expense and inconvenience. Now
the barbarous carnival of noise has
been extended over an entire week.
Night is made hideous by utterly mean
ingless fanfares which would disgust

cities it is common practice for the
municipal authorities to litter public
streets with straw in order that the
noise of carts and carriages may not

in the exact truth when he said that
we have had designations of officials
places in escow so that if they were
proved robbers they might step down

men who will not need to resign while
they are undergoing criminal investi-

During the fight to increase the sa-
loon license fee in Chicago from $500
to $1,000, the brewers and liquor deal
ers' organizations insisted that the
poor saloonkeeper" was being perse-
cuted, that he was going to be driven
out Of business, even up to half of
his total strength in the city, and that
the net result Of all the persecution"
would be that the city would either
have no increase at all, or very little
increase, in it's revenue. 1t is inter-
esting, therefore. to note what has
happened. says the San Francisco
Leader.
The license year begins May list.
Up to June 18th last year 1855 Ii
censes had been issued for the four
months period. bringing the city to-
tai of $1,165, 409.23. Between the same
dates this year 6,4s4 licenses have been
issued, bringing in $3,23s,O19.52. The
falling off in the number of saloons,
as shown by the figures up to date, has
therefore been only 472, or less than I
per cent. The total amount received
by the city from saloon licenses, in
Guiding bar permits, in the whole of
the last license year was $3,93S,79S.35.
Already this year, therefore, on pay
ments for the first half-year alone,
the city has come within 100000 of
securing as much revenue as it did
in the whole of last year. In each of
the three license periods last year there
We're about 5000 saloons listed. Some
increase, therefore, may be expected
this year. But even if the average num-
Der of saloons for the year is not great
er than the figure licensed up to June
, 18th the years increase in revenue will
be s2,5O0,O0O.

ENDORSING REPUBLICANS.

According to report there is Il dis
position on the part of some of the
friends of Governor johnson to nomi-
nate or endorse the Republican candi-
date for attorney general of the state
The governor has been reported as
favOring Mr.. Young's candidacy. There
is no evidence before the people of the
state that Mr.. Young has done any
fairly good attorney general. but we
have had other men who have done
equally well. There is no doubt that
there are Il good many other men in
the state who would do equally well
in the position.
The willingness of some of the DEM
ocratic leaders to endorse Mr.. Young
must arise from their desire to benefit
Governor johnson in his next race.
They reason that there is no chance
of electing Il Democratic attorney gen.
eral anyhow and that the endorsement
by them Of Attorney General Young
might secure for the support Of the
governor some of the attorney gen.
erals friends. and also give the pub
lie to understand that the governor is
in favor of supporting Republican Of
tlcials where they have proven efficient
The same reasoning applies to other
candidates ON the Republican tick
ct. There are other good men
on the Republican state ticket
running for office besides the attorney
general and there Is no more chance
of the Democrats defeating those 9TH
er men than there Is of defeating at
torney General Young. Why would it
not be good scheme to endorse the
whole Republican state ticket except
the candidate for governor and to
make the issue this fall open and above
board; a contest pure and simple be-
tween the two candidates for gov
ernor? Every intelligent observer
knows that that is the only contest
there will be and if the Democrats go
into the endorsing business why would
1t not be good plan for them to en-
dorse the whole Republican ticket. save
the governorship, and let us have a
square and honest contest for that po-
sition? The only reason for support
,,lx 1>>
to gain strength for the governor and
the only reason for putting any other
men on the Democratic ticket would be
to aid the governor by bringing to his
support the particular friends of the
different candidates from different sec
tons of the state. and also possibly to
get their campaign contributions. and
to secure their aid upon the stump this
fall. If the Democrats go into the en-
dorsing Of Republican candidates let
them treat all the Republican candi-
dates with equal fairness; at least
all those candidates that have equal
merit The clerk of the supreme court
has proven an efficient officer and the
state auditor has also done work that
merits reward. Why not endorse these
men. and save them the trouble and ex-
pense of carrying on campaign, and
also give them their full time to look
after the duties Of their respective Of
fees?
If we concede that the only contest
OH the state ticket this fall is the gov
ernorship. and that is the only con-
test no matter whether we concede it
OR not, why not dispose of these side
issues at the outset and place the real
issue squarely before the voters? If|

There is one subject upon which the
| Chicago Chronicle can always be
counted to take the right view of, and
that is the sensational newspaper COM
monty called the yellow journal" Here
is what it says about the space that is
being given to the Thaw case:
IF there remain and habitues of the
New York tenderloin' who have not re-
ceived a satisfactory amount of free
advertising through the ThawWhite
killing it is their own fault. The
avowedly sensational newspapers and
some that profess a certain conserva-
tism have been unstinted in their gen.
erosity of space toward any degener-
ate, male or female. who has had a
fancy for getting into print.
ANY one of these people who has
had story to tell, any one of them
who has professed acquaintance with
the parties to the tragedy, has been
written up and photographed and 9TH
erwise featured until it really seems
as if all the disreputables in New York
City must have received the publicity
which they all delight i'll.
But if the supply of metropolitan
degenerates shows signs of depletion
there are disquieting indications that
other fields are to be worked. In Pitts
burg, for instance, enterprising jour-
nalists are hunting up persons of a
quaintance with young Thaw or the
woman he married and. as Pittsburg
is a good-sized place, it looks as if
the material at hand will keep the
muck-rake newspapers supplied with
'layouts.' enormous black headlines and
hideous portraits for several weeks to
come. By that time the New York sup
ply will have been replenished and
home talent can be patronized once
more.
There is no reason why the Thaw
case if judiciously handled should not
continue to furnish journalistic garb-
age for the next six months unless an
equally interesting killing occurs in
the meantime. In that case, of course,
the 'tenderloin' would experience an
entirely new literary revival.

Many skeletons in the homes of our

great corporation, is being sued by a
woman who claims that she was Sc

he broke his promise. to her. The ed
itor of magazine, famous for it's
pleas for the protection of national
honor" was sued for divorce and the
testimony revealed that the man who
pretended to have so much concern
for the national honor had little or no
concern for his own. w. Ellis Corey.

ing sued for divorce on the ground
that he deserted his wife who, during
his days of poverty, helped him to lay
the foundation for his success. Au-
gustus Hartje is a Pittsburg captain"
who has brought down upon himself
the recommendations Of many of his
townsmen because of the awful accusa-
tons he has preferred against his wife,
accusations which it is claimed, and
by many believed, based upon pur-
chased testimony. 1t is known that the
negro whose statements rejecting upon
Mrs. Hartje the husband made public,
has confessed that he had told a mon
strous falsehood concerning the NO.
man.
These are but Il few instances Of the

concerning the private lives of some

gence. patriotism and morality OF the
nation even as they possess a monop-
