PEOPLES LOBBY
INDIANA SENATOR SAYS THAT IS
THE ONLY WAY TO IN
FORM MASSES.
Most Public Men Are Honest
But Many Are In
capable.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 1.-Assertins
that good government depends upor
the quality Of public men. and thai
information which the people obtain
as to the actions of such servants OF
the people go to make up that quality.
Senator Albert J. Beverage. presided
and addressed a meeting in his home
city tonight In the interest of the
Peoples Lobby" The Indiana Sena-
tor explained the purpose Of the or
ganization and declared it is composed
OF high-minded. fearless, public-spiri-
ted men who demand that the people
shall have q lobby at Washington, the
same as any other special interests
maintain ~one. .,
James B. Reynolds, of New York.
chairman of the Executive COMMITTEES
of the Peoples Lobby. and Henry B.
Needham, secretary Of the organiza-
ton, also spoke. Senator Beverage
said in part:
1t is becoming clearer every day
that good government depends on the
quality of our public men. And, the
quality of our public men depends up
On two things-frst, the standard of
public men which the people have. |
and, second, the information convern-
ng public men which the people have.
The second is almost as important as
he first; and that the people shall be
informed as to what their representa-
ives are doing or failing to do, is the
purpose Of the Peoples Lobby.
1t is the purpose of the Peoples
lobby to tell the people just what
heir representatives at Washington
ire doing-not only what our final
rote on any final measure is, but what
and Senators do to hurt
IF help that measure before the vote
) taken.
Most public men are honest and in
ormed, but not all. Some are ig

measures; some Of them are insin-

impossible that they should be In 9

One of the first tasks they set the new curate. who was handicapped by youth and inexperience. was to investi- gate the bona fides of a widow wo- man. who had applied to the church for help. He departed nervously on bis errand and knocked, as i'll luck would have it. at the wrong door.
 How long has your poor husband been dead, my good woman? What number of children have youf Are any of them working: If so. what amount of money are they earning altogethery" were the questions he fired, like shots from a revolver, at the slatternly woman who answered his summons.

kashaaria.

There are few places in the world so difficult to get at as Kashgaria. Though 1t lies in Chinese territory, the journey from Picking occupies no less than six months. From India cara vans take two months, having to cross meanwhile the three highest mountain ranges in the world by way of several passes measuring 1s,OO0 feet above sea level.
 Then from the tail end of the Rus sian railway system in central Asia one may reach Kashgaria in three weeks by several routes, all involving the transit of difficult and storm swept passes.
 Kashgaria is said to cover an area of 3J0.000 square miles-a statement that has little interest until considered in relation to the proportion which Is cultivated by man. It is startling to realize that human endeavor has been capable of rendering fertile little more than a hundreith part and that nine- ty-nine hundredths of 1t is irredeema- ble desert-Blackvood's Magazine.

Crushed by Beecher.

Henry Ward Beecher was once ap- preached by a young Snan who con- sidered himself very clever.
 Do you know, MT. Beecher," said he. "I've been thinking that I would settle down. Now, like your preach ing, but when go to your church and see such men as old S. and others, grasping skinfiints and hypocrites to the core, sitting there in full member ship, why. the thing is just little too much for me, and really" he added, T cannot join"
 Well, you're right" said Mir. Beech CT. Every church has such men, and I fancy Plymouth is not free from them, and until you spoke I have al- ways wondered why the good Lord permitted it. Now I understand"
 "Ah." gurgled the young fellow, T am glad I have thrown light on the question. What strikes you as the reason, Mir. Beecher?"
 Well" replied the great preacher. it is permitted in order to keep just such fools as you out of the churches" !"

American League.
BASEBALL NOTES.

The Springfield transforming team has disbanded and the serie with Pittsfield has been called off.
 The South Atlantic league mag mates have voted to have no non playing managers next season. The Texas league had a great race this season, Austin finally winning the pennant, with Dallas but a few points behind.
 | A game was forfeited in South Bend, Ind, last week for lack of balls Thieves broke into clubhouse and got away with lot of baseball ma terial.
 Catcher Eddie Bridges of Norwich may get a chance with the Provid- ence Eastern league club. Manager Duffy watched him in a game before the season closed and liked the youngsters acting.
 A social organization has been formed in Binghampton, N. r., call ed the Order of Baseball Fans Branches of the order are to be es- tablished in all the state league cities after the plan of the Elks and Eagles.
 Cleveland has just about the fun. niest thing in the baseball line. Il is player named Speas, recently drafted from some bush league, who never swears, chews, smokes, drinks or loses his temper. This is all right in its way. The funny parto it is that the non-smoking angel, as he is dubbed, has saved enough money to buy cigar store in Toledo. The Tri-State leage has fixed the salary limit of each club next season at $2,600 month exclusive of non- playing manager. This will reduce the salaries of the managers and players to about two-thirds of what they averaged throughout the circuit the past season. In order to compel the clubs to live up to the agreement it has been decided to compel each club to post forfeit of s2,000. Among the managerial changes rumored for next season are the fol- | lowing: John Ganzel to succeed Ned Hanlon at Cincinnati; George Davis of the White Sox to pilot the New York Americans, in place of Clark Griffith; William Armour of Toledo to supplant Manager McCloskey of the St Louis Nationals; William Cly. mer of Columbus and Hugh Duffy of Providence, to lead major league clubs; Fielder Jones of the White Sox, Fred Clark of Pittsburg, Jimmy McAleer of, the St Louis Americans and Fred Penney of the Boston Ma tionals, all to retire. Just how many of these reported changes will take place time alone will tell.

 Pittsburg. Sept. 23.-The Rev. Dr. & Edward Young. pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, preached base ball sermon to a large congregation. For several days past the sermon had been advertised extensively. Among otlser things Dr. Young declared that St. Paul was the greatest sporting ed itor that ever lived.
 Dr. Young took his t~xt from He. brews xii, 1. Let us ! in with pa tience the race" He said:
 "st. Paul. the reputed author of these words, watched the great Olympian games and wrote of them. He was en- unused with the games, and were he alive he could possibly give points to the editors of sporting pages of the papers of today.
 "Our nearest approach to the old Olympian game, to which St Paul re fers. is baseball. Baseball is a pastime of J0.OO0.OOO Americans. It was played by the Federal and the Confederate soldiers during the civil war and car ried by them to every hamlet of the United States. It is played on a thou sand fields. and the game is admired by thousands of people. who every day during the season pay an immense sum of money to see the game played.
 ~Of all the sports baseball is the freest from crookedness and gam bling, from rovdyism and drunken ness. Baseball. like the Olympic con tests of which St Paul wrote, gives you the true idea Of life"
