INDIANS DIG
ANOTHER CLAM

Loosen gain, Kid" shouted Alt
man at the game between Grays
Harbor and Spokane at Recreation
park yesterday and many of the
fans thought he was going =
but it was only the third baseman
native tongue during his excite
ment and in baseball parlance it
would mean the same as Letter
flicker"
The other players knew Altman
meant something like that so they
went into the game in a sort of
hot-foot style and their rough and
ready playing succeeded In winning
for them by a score of II to 8.
They made errors as nonchalantly
as they made hits. If they missed
a ball, it became but an incident
not worth bOthering about and If
they missed another it was the
same. Hit or miss and take a
chance was the motto-and it's q
good one, for that Is playing the
game and makes up interest for the
fans.
And did you see Swain lean
against the ball? He is credited
with two hits out of five times at
bat and three runs. That's going
a pace for the big kid" who for
a part of this season imagined he
couldn't hit.
It's race between Butte and
Spokane as to wnlch will remain
the occupant of the basement. If
the fans will turn out and holler
their heads off, figuratlvely, they'll
do much to hep the Indians drag
their anchors.
Rush pitches today for Spokane
and Brinker for Grays Harbor.
"Scrappy Bin Hurley is now dig
nified as Father" He had a

new ball player was at his home

Umpire Walton rendered a close
decision in the seventh inning
when Altman played tag between
third base and home The Dutch
man outjockeyed the Grays and
Walton called him safe. The

voice and said Walton knew about
as much as hard boiled egg, but

and read section 23, he will learn
that it is not necessary for the excise
board to have someone appear be-
fore that body and make formal COM
plant. The section mentioned says
that conviction in the court of jur-
isdiction is sufficient evidence for the
excise board to act.
This section 23 reads as follows:
THAT if any person or persons
holding a license by virtue of this
ordinance shall violate any of the
provisions thereof and be convicted
of said offence by a court of compe-
tent jurisdiction, in such case his,
her or their license shall become Ii
able to be forfeited, and the said Ii
cense may be revoked by the said
Board of Excise Commissioners of
said city, BESIDES the other penal
ties imposed by the ordinance, and
the law of the state, in such case
made and provided, AND THE REC.
ORD OF SAID COURT WILL BE
SUFFICIENT PROOF OF SAFE
CONVICTION" !.
If President Hoy meant what he is
quoted as saying he might call a
meeting of the excise board and get
busy at once.
1t has not been so long ago that
a saloonkeeper was convicted of sell
ing on Sunday, but he also sold to
a MINOR on that day.
This is a matter of court record.
The EVENING NEWS called at
tention to the matter at the time and
urged the excise board to do its duty.
1T FAILED TO DO so.
There have been several more re-
cent cases of men paying fines for
violating the excise ordinance, hav-
ing been convicted.

BOSS is SCARED.

With the-pEimaries over a month
Off, Boss Strong is. beginning.~te look
about for a suitable candidate whom
he can nominate in the place OF
Jackson. The machine is becom-
ing thoroughly alarmed at the in
creasing Hnpopularity, of Jackson.
The manner in which the people are
taking up with sEhe independent
movement is causing no little CON
Germ to the "ring."
AS a feeler, to see how the idea
of Withdrawing Jackson and substi-
tuting another mar who will do the
boss's bidding, will take with the peo-
pie, Dory Strong has caused the fol-
lowing to be published in his person
al organ, the New Brunswick Home
News:
Congressman Howell, it is said,
is in favor Of urging both Jackson
and Fordyee to withdraw as Senator
ial candidates and naming a new can
didate. Robert Carson is also said
to be in favor of such a move. The
Democrats would probably not adj
wise action of this kind. Somebody
has said, if you want to succeed po-
litically, find out what the opposition
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-08-20

would advise doing and then don't
do it,"
Dory Strong is reading his fate
early in the campaign. The indie
pendent movement is only beginning.
Meetings are being held in every
town to let the people know what it
is about and the real fight begins
on the second and third time around.
1t would be we'll to place another
man in the place of Jackson. He is
decidedly unpopular throughout the
county. He is recognized as a mere
dummy who is holding down Dory
Strong's old position in the state sem
ate because Dory wants that $4,000
as state assessor.
The ring is on the run. 1t will
be running harder before the primar-
les are here. The people are through
with Dory Strong's methods. He
goes down and out this fall and the
man who will take Jackson's place
will be Alexander r. Fordyce, Jr.,
and it will be in spite of all Dory
Strong can do to prevent it, but the
boss is beginning to realize that the
people really have something to say
in this county when they are once
aroused.

for the republican party all his life.
A man who had fought for the cleo
ton of the republican ticket beside
Mark Hanna and George CortelyOu.
A man who has represented this

Consider JOHN s. GIBSON, of

ALL OF THEM sTAUNCH REPUB-

!, lieve il Il shame to hand it over to Il
I corrupt machine which has. grown
into power through questionable
methods and which wants to control
for the personal interests of a few.
Like in the society above referred
to, the gang has told these men that
+ they can get out and organize Il new

, not to interfere with the 'ring.'l
These men who stood by the party
when all was honest and when the
people controlled it, arc told to step
out and turn the fruit of their labor
over to the gang.
Did these men quietly retire and
submit to the ''ring??"
No, they did not. They have been
life long republicans and they LOVE
THEIR PARTY too much to see it
corrupted by a corrupt gang.
THEY FIGHT FOR THEIR
RIGHTS AS REPUBLICANS THAT
THEIR PARTY MAY BE-PURE AND
PATRIOTIC AS IT USED TO BE.
That is the meaning of this Colby

Those who are fighting the ring
are more TRUE to their party than

e. An effort Is being made by ne
ssring' to persuade the people that
those who favor a reform within the
party are nozlongers republicans.
The .machine'' organs tell the peo-
pie that they are ut liberty to organ
ize a new party if they desire, but
tsAey have no right to interfere with
the ssring.' If they do they are not
republicans.
Think 1t over.
Suppose you were a charter MEM

got into the organization and a few
banded themselves together to get
control of the society and IL things
themselves, dictate who should be
president, treasurer, trustees and the
like. What would you do?
Would you resign and retire from

so hard in the beginning?
Would you quietly. submit to this

In my own state the constitution prohibits gambling and enjons
the legislature to pass laws to prevent it. The Legislature, however, has
dared to pass a law which, while in form aimed to prevent gambling on
racctracks, was VIGOROUSLY designed to protect it. and this was possible
only because public opinion permitted. There is a large group Of laws,
notably those concerning the social evil, restriction on the sale of
liquor and Sunday observance, which well illustrate the power and the
evils, too, Of public opinion; but, whatever its cause andswhatever its
history, public opinion stands today as THE MOST IMPORTANT
SINGLE INFLUENCE in the life of the nation.
To say that the rule Of public opinion has incidental evils is, after
all, only to say that it is like all human institutions. My reading and
my own observation and experience make me believe that the people
are never consciously unjust or ungenerous. Indeed they forgive in
their public servants everything but pecuniary dishonesty and often
overlook transactions which from a moral point Of view it is difficult to
distinguish from the latter.
In many parts of the country and especially in our great cities a
mans ability to command a hearing must largely depend upon the
newspapers, and tis by them that the greatest justice AND SOME
TIMES THE GREATEST INJUSTICE rs DONE. If public
opinion is the greatest single force in our public life, surely the news
paper is incomparabty the greatest factor in its formation and spread.
A wise English writer in an acute and friendly criticism of our insttu-
tons has spoken Of the newspaper as ~discharging three fnnctions-viz,
narrator" advocate" and weather vane."
Its as narrator" that ikhas, [ believe, its greatest influence. By
its reporting of facts-and too frequently fctions-of all facts, public
and private, it furnishes THE MATERIAL for the formation of
public opinion and gives that publicity without which government by
public opinion could not safely exist. The newspaper seeks, or should
seek, to discharge its functions as advocate THROUGH ITS Ed
TORIALA COLUMNS, but it seems to me that there its influence,
though still great, has diminished. 1t would seem, moreover, as if the
growth of the magazine has had something to do with the loss of inAu-
enco of the editorial page. Being less ephemeral and partisan in char
acter, the articles in the magazines have been more Judicial in tone,
and their greater length has given opportunities denied to the editorial
writer, with the result that their influence on public opinion has been
STEADILY INCREASING and SO far has been a benefcent one.
When the newspaper frankly acts as advocate" as it does in its
editorial page, public opinion is helped or harmed, as the cause advo-
Gated is good or bad and is accepted or rejected, BUT PUBLIC
OPINION IS NOT DECEIVED.
BUT WHEN, UNDER eulsE OF REPORTING FACTS, 1T WILL

they enter village and patrol the

Nothing comes amiss to them that is

Here Is a true story of an octopus,
not the kind that has it's headquarters
in New Jersey. 1.-TWO fishermen were
plying their vocation off Great Belle
Island, Conception Bay, off the New
foundland coast. Suddenly they dis
covered ut a short distance from them
dark, shapeless mass floating on the
surface of the water Concluding that
it was probably part of the cargo of
some wrecked vessel, they approached
it, anticipating a valuable prize. and
one of them struck the object with his
boathook. Upon receiving the shock
the dark heap became suddenly ami
mated, and, spreading out, discovered
a head, with pair of large, promi-
nent, staring eyes, which seemed to
CLEAN with intense ferocity, the Great
ure at the same time exposing to view
and opening its parrot-like beak with
an apparently hostile and malignant
purpose. The men were petrified with
terror and for a moment so fascinated
by the horrible sight that they were
powerless to make a move to defend
themselves.
Before they had time to recover
