1t Is a popularity of all transporta-
ton business, and indeed of all bust
ness, that expenses do not increase
proportionately with traffic or sales.
The increasing street railway traffic Is
handled at a decreasing ratio OF ex-
pense. Up to the capacity of the
track, the power houses and the. cars,
the traffic and earnings of a street
railway company can be increased
with but relatively slight increase in
expenditure. The ears are more
crowded, theysfollow each other more
closely, and the amount of coal burn
ed is increased, the wage account Is
larger, but the fixed charges on an
enormous value of plant, running
from 100000 to S125,000 per mile.
the interest and the cost of repairs
and maintenance, are but slightly in
creased, so that the margin of SUR
plus earnings over operating expen-
SEES, the amount available for interest
and dividends, is rapidly augmented,

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20.
THE PEOPLE PREFER STOKES.

Although the republican senators
met in caucus Thursday night and
arranged a slate for the coming SEES
sion of the legislature, the topic of
most interest before the people of
the state today, that of the selection
of a successor to Senator Dryden,
was not touched upon. This is evil
dence that Senator Dryden does not
yet control enough votes to make
certain his election, and it is en-
couraging to the thousands of inter-
ested citizens who have no say in
the matter now, but who are strongly
opposed to Mr., Dryden being chosen
to succeed himself.
There is not the slightest doubt
but that, if the republican legisla-
tors should put the question before
the voters of their party throughout
the state, Governor Stokes would win
by an enormous majority. There is
no denying the popularity Of the
governor among the republicans Of
this county. 1t is now pretty gem
orally accepted that the choice is
between Stokes and Dryden, and, by
all odds, Stokes is greatly to be pre-.
ferred of the two. While there are
many who are %outspoken in favor Of
the governor, hundreds more would
flock TO his banner if he would let 1t
be known publically that he would
accept Tie Office if elected. The
United States s%enatorship is such a
high honor that the people do not
feel like coaxing a man to accept Il.
To r~e-elect Senator Dryden would
be q calamity to the republican party
in this state, and will mean a demo
cratic governor next year. The great
masses of the people are about per
suaded that the republican party is
the representative and defender OF
the corporation interests, and to de
liberately send John r. Dryden bacl
to the United States senate would be
to clinch this belief. Governor
Stokes, therefore, owes it as a duty
to his party to get into the race, OF
at least let it be known that he viii
accept the Office.

Agriculture Batted Out Victory.
Both the leaders and the tailenders won

Lot Agriculture trounced Commerce and
Labor. 8 to 2, on the south diamond In q
game that was full of sensational individual
plays. AS a consequence of their victory
the Farmers are again in unddsputed pos
session of first place. Post Office and Treas
ury put up battle royal on the west dia-
mond that the Money Changers finally
tucked away, getting the long end OF a
4 to score, after making hard uphill
fight
Despite their six errors the Farmers
played sensational ball against the Labor
ties, and the very ones that are charged
with errors are the men that steadily cut
down swats that looked to be sure hits.
Five or six times when the Laborttes had
managed to get men on the bases one OF I
these startling plays were pulled off that

Brown. in the infield, all have one or more
clever one-hand stops to their credit. while
Sanders accepted two difficult catches In
right that certainly looked good. HIS one
error was made through no fault of his
own on a throw to third to head off Evans.
The throw was accurate and should nave
come to the bag on an easy bound. but
instead 1t took an ugly leap and went over
the heads of both Wiley and Brown and
rolled into the crowd. Titus was on the
rubber for the Aggies, and pitched clever
game. allowing but four hits, that were
widely scattered throughout the nine in
nings, and but for an error in the ninth he
would have scored an easy shut-out
The Laborites were unfortunate In losing
the services of three of their best men on
account of sickness or injury. Brown, who
was on the rubber for them. pitched an ex-
cellent game but was followed by his usual
hard luck. He had wonderful lot OF speed.
and had he been properly held up and sup
ported probably a different story would be
told. Half of the Aggies' hits were of the
sort that should easily have been cut down
by fast and snappy fielding. and nearly
every one of the errors charged against the
Laborites were costly. To add to the mis-
fortunes of the Commerce boys .Hilman,
their crack catcher, was put out OF the

THE MIGHTY LAJOIE
Is NO GOLFER

Napoleon Lajoie OF the Cleveland base
ball club is a duffer at golf. Nobody real
ICES 1t better than he. and hereafter he will
simply rest secure on his reputation as
leading base ball batsman without trying to
gain any other mplishments. The reve-
lation came yesterday when Professional
Waters. personal friend, took Lajoie to
the Columbia Golf Club.
The king Of batters was interested in the
ease with which nat-chested gentlemen
whacked the gutta percha spheres IT'S
yards or more at a stroke. When a driver
was handed to him and ball placed neatly
on tee he stepped forward confidently.
Assuming a batting position, he cast his
eyes forward as il to see the pitcher but
suddenly realizing that there was no
pitcher and that the ball lay dead before
him instead Of being thrown with an out
shoot in his direction, the mighty ball
player prepared for mighty swipe
Lajoie worked his shoulders well into 1t
and the slender shaft of the driver made a
whistling sound as 1t cut the air. It termi-
mated in dull thud as the driver struck
the ground underneath the ball. which
stirred ne'er an inch Lajoie was surprised
to say the least. Again he swung and yet
again. Finally he connected. and the bah
sped In rather poor drive, somewhat
sliced, for a distance of about 100 yards
With the reflection that a f1ye-ounce horse
hide and a good old louisville slugger''
were better tools for results the mighty
batsman retired to the shade, table and
something else.
