sNEWT, RANDALL.
Former Duluth Player Making Good
With Denver Team.

Newt. Randall. the well-known Du-
luth ball player who is member of
the Denver Western league team has
again come into prominence in the base
ball world by exceptional ability which
he showed in a game between Denver
and DesMoines the other day.
In commenting on the game, the
Denver Times says: Newt Randall
OF the Cubs set the fans hearts on
fire Yesterday in the ninth inning
when he smashed out home run
with the score to in favor of Can
tillion's Des Moines champions. Again
IN the eleventh inning Randall brought
down the silver change from the grand
stand by landing a safe one in center
that netted him two stations He com
pleted his hero act by CALAMITY cross
ing the home plate on Weigardt's safe
bingle and thus was the game won
by the Cubs after it looked like certain
defeat.
I'm his work in the outfield Randall
was himself all the time and kept up
his good reputation already establish
ed. But his sensational stick work
was the stagnant pool of defeat on
Des Moines road to success. Randall's
homer was the prettiest drive seen on
the local field this season"

recognized with nominations by the
party in its biennial conventions.
In some states and cities it becomes
necessary to turn down what are in
reality gangs of political freebooters
who get In office and assume right to
plumber the public from the power
conferred on them by law or custom.
But the present assault on the party
organization of this state is without
any good cause or reason, and. under
the circumstances the voters are not
going to respond to the frantic ap-
peals OF the insurgent leaders as they
hope
1t is claimed that the people are
going to display great political up
heaVal and that many counties are
going to pass into the control of the
insurgent leaders this fall. But ex-
perience shows that no upheaval fol-
lows when there is no good reason for
1t, or without there is wide spread
knowledge of a necessity for such a
movement at the polls.
There may be few counties where
local political factions are striving for
precedence, and where the insurgents
will try to take advantage of such
local differences to gain a following.
But these counties are few. The pre-
sent party organization has given to
the republicans of the state generally
honorable and capable efforts and the
results are open to inspection.
The republicans of the state are not
going to disrupt the present organiza-
ton to please few .nsurgent leaders
VINO use the term gang as their only
argument,

he will spend a week or more. He
says that seeding is we'll along in
Trail county and except some of the
lowest spots, the prospects are very
fair for this time of the year. Col.
Robinson is one of the heaviest lum-
Der men in the state, having business

growth of the central part of the
state and the evident movement of
population westward. He says James,

Col. Robinson is member of the
republican state committee, and while
personally in favor of holding the
party conventions in the Red river

died with him. He was the choice of
everyone.
When s. G. Roberts was in the legis-
lature, Alex. went down to Yankton
to do his first bit of lobbying. He
wanted board of county commits
sioners for Emmons county who
would locate the county seat at Will
Transport. Alex. had no particular
interest in Williamsport, but he
wanted to go to Yankton, and that
was the only excuse he could think
of and so he went. Fargo was al
ways little fastidious in its tastes.
and Fargo wanted the agricultural
college, and Grand Forks was am
bilious and wanted a university. and
Valley City normal school. and
jamestown had some lunatics at home
and thought the hospital for the in
sane would be the thing for them.
Alex saw what was going on and con-
cluded to ask for something for Bis
marck. and SO he asked for the
penitentiary, and he and John P. Dunr.
Major Edwards and were on the first
board and erected the pen. 1 think
John A. Mclean was the other one.
And we erected the building within
the appropriation. Alex. had read the
Hoosier Schoolmaster in his younger
days, and had learned from that,

and he got the capitol commission ap-

intention of moving the capital to

the commission and l do not think
Alex ever felt very grateful to Spalding
for his course on the commission, and
If there has been any slips between
the cup and the lip for which Nc
kenzie is in any way responsible it
is possible that 1t relates to the fight
for the removal of the capitol to Bis
marck. 1t was Alexis first fight. He
had gotten the capitol for Bismarck
and for years he had to fight to keep
1t. And In doing SO he made friend

in the affairs of the state. He has
never asked anything for Alex He
has stood for Bismarck and for Bis
marck interests, working for those
who deserved his friendship, perhaps
dangling scalp or two occasionally
at his belt, but if they were won the
parties knew who was after them and
why. He never sought to destroy
a republican nominee. He has never
failed to give his support to the
choice of his party in any campaign
or any situation where republican
principles were at stake. He has
never sought to make money by any
system of graft involving the use
of public funds or the use of friend

erations. l don't believe the people
of North Dakota are going to turn
down their successful representatives
because Mr.. Spalding has an old
quarrel with Alex. Mckenzie.

CHANGES ARE
MADE
Official Schedule of Games for 1906
In Northern-Copper Country League
Given to the Managers
Publication Was Premature,

A few days ago The Evening Times
published what purported to be the
1906 schedule of games for the North
ern-Copper Country Baseball league.
Other papers did likewise. 1t now ap-
pears that publication was premature
and was given to reported at Hough-
ton, Mich, by person unauthorized.
Secretary Glass today released the
official schedule, which, however, diff
fers but very slightly from that pub
lished in The Evening Times a week
ago.
One of the unexpected things in the
schedule is shown in five games sched-
uled for Grand Forks on Sunday, and
an announcement on the printed slips
shows that it is the intention of the
league to play these games at Crooks
ton.
Director Stanchfield stated yester-
day that he did not know that it was
the intention to schedule games for
Grand Forks on Sunday, and he ex-
pressly stated that no ball games
would be played here on that day. 1t
is known that Crookston had asked for
some games, and presumably the
league officials decided to make this
arrangement. The Sunday games
scheduled come on June with
Houghton, June 10 with Lake Linden,
July with Winnipeg, July is with
Fargo, and Aug. 26 with Duluth.
Houghton and Grand Forks play at
Duluth on Sunday. July 20, on their
way east
Hancock dates at Calumet are SUBJ
ject to transfer to the Hancock
grounds.

! OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

He was travelling on business in
tent. Mind on what he had done, what
he was going to do and what he ought
to do And in second all this fled.
AT the supper table the order was
fried fish" Now if it had been lake
trout, white fish, or any variety OF
fresh, salt water fish. things would
have been different, but as fate would
have it, it was fried crappie. Worse
luck, the cook sent in half of a big
pound and half crappie, head. tail and
fins, all naturel' All this only a few
days from the 18th of May, when the
law would be out and the other fell
lows going fishing. Business thoughts
weer forgotten. 1t was whether that
steel rod had rusted any while packed
away. Whether that linen line would
be strong enough this year. Whether
he really could afford to buy that $12
reel. Wondered if minnows would be
scarce. Glad now he didn't tell the
crowd where he caught those thirty
crappies in two hours. Didn't they
bite? Didn't he catch four crappies
with one minnow? He could row the
boat within two feet of where to throw
the anchor. This year he was going to
have one of those nets opening like a
tobacco pouch to put his crappies in.
Too much bother to string them. Just
then somebody said across the table:

MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE.

The subject of coast defense is be-
expenditures are being asked and con-
templated for this purpose. Our long
line of seacoast makes the proposition
one most expensive and forecasts the
spending of vast sums before the de-
fences considered necessary are COM
pleted Congress has been informed
that our whole system of coast de-
fenses of the United States is out OF
date, and that the safety of the nation
requires the immediate expenditure of
$50,S79,399 for new guns, torpedoes,
and forts.
The vast railway systems Of the
northwest are said to be threate
by the exposed condition of Puget
sound and Seattle. 1t is said to be of
the highest Importance, strategically
and commercially, that second line Of
gun defense be constructed at once on
the sound, extending from Foulweather
Bluff to Double Bluff, seventeen miles
from the outer entrance.
Chesapeake bay is also reported to
be quite undefended. This means that
a hostile fleet would find the way open
to attack the important ship yards at
Hampton Roads, Norfolk and Newport
News, and to facilitate raids on Wash
ington, Baltimore, and New York. Sec
cretary Taft reports on the authority
Of the special board recently appointed
to inquire into this matter.
With the entrance as it is now. I'M
fortified, hostile fleet, should it gain
control of the sea, can establish, with
out coming under the fire of a single
gun, base on its shores, pass in and
out at pleasure, have access to large
quantities of supplies of all kinds. and
paralyze the great trunk railway lines
crossing the head of the bay.
Manila, Honolulu, and San Juan like
wise are reported to be without ade-
quate protection.
If the United States is to build ade-
uuate defenses for all its coast cities
and points of stragetic Importance in
war it requires no mathematician to
realize that the fifty millions asked is
only drop in the bucket compared to
the flood of expenditure that will fol-
low it.
