a vote was taken on the proposition

first half of the fourth inning instead
of only to the end of the third, as
now, and this lost. Springfield and
Decatur were the only associations
favoring it.

Than jeff O'ConnelI.

Fond du Lac. Wis, May 27.-Ad

the narrowest of margins in his battle

The men battled desperately every
inch of the way and in the second

had clear lead. The first. third and
sixth were about even while the fifth
and eighth went to Wolgast. by a

The Islanders effected a large
breach in the defense of the Decatur
team yesterday by forcing Lauder
milk out of the box and Lelivelt sue
ceeded him. Even then the champs
might have won by steady work and
little confidence
The two TALES secured by the
champs came one in the first and one
in the third Murphy hit the first ball
thrown right on the nose and pretty
single over second resulted. He adj
yanced a notch on an untamed throw
by Laudermilk and pilfered third,
working the delayed steal TO a fragile.
Cook and Swain both were retired
at first but Murphy came home on
the throw that put Swain out.
Scott started the fun in the third
when he was given a free pass Muir
phys second hit advanced him a peg
and when Swain was hit with q
pitched ball they both moved up one
Laudermiik went straight UP into the
air and forced a run in by passing big
Jim Novacek. At this stage of the
game Lelivelt was called upon to do
. the twirling.
Scott Gets the Bumps.
The visitors hit Scott for a
total of IL bingles. one of them
| being good for a pair of corners, and
yet they were SO we'll Scattered that
steady work in the field by the Island
ers might possibly have saved the day.
Joe helped a little in losing his own
game for twice he made errors of judg-
ment in trying to cut off base runners.

of Tenant and after turning and see

T, man who was on second between the

although he caught the man there

scored 4 minute later ON a hit over
shortstop. If he had retired the man
between second and third it would

alright but he could not have scored
on the hit which brought the score in

trick and tried to get a man who al

TUBERCULOSIS.

The Tuberculosis Congress just
closed in Washington, was one Of
the most important conferences in
recent times. Truly it was the most
important if the preservation of hui
man life is vital. Bubonic plague has
been analyzed and checked. The
cause of yellow fever has been solved
and met by scientific methods There
is no fear that our authorities in the
Philippines will be unable to check
and stamp out cholera. But tubercu-
losis goes on every day, every month,
every year, all over the world, with
its toll Of lives exceeding the worst
ravages Of the most desperate wars
1t is a steady, continuous, unre-
lenting toll on human life. And it is
worse than the terrifying plaques,
because it goes on all the time. It is
said that the death rate from con-
sumption in America is thrice that of
the mortal injuries of the battles of
the Civil War. And there are prov
inces in Europe that not only have
been decimated but absolutely de-
vastated by this disease.
If there is any duty Of government,
it is to cope not only with pestilence

BRYAN MUST EXPLAIN.

Bryan's attacks, as vague and in
definite in expression as they were
baseless in fact, upon the record and
candidates Of the Republican party,
have served one good purpose-they
have called the attention Of many
who might otherwise have remained
in ignorance to what has been accom-
plished BY Republican administra-
tions during the past II years, and to
the true character Of the men whom
the Republican party has placed in
nomination.
So far from being on the defensive
the Republican party has not only
challenged, but welcomed, inquiry,
and it is not too much to say that
thousands of Democrats have been
led 'y the facts as presented to take
a stand for the continuation Of Re-
publican policies under a Republican
administration. Bryan's ranting has
ceased to have the power it once had
because those who thought at first
that where there was so much noise
there must be something behind it
have found there was nothing behind
it except the Chinese plan of seeking
to scare a foe with tomtoms,
screeches and howls. The Republi-
can party and the party's candidates
met the tomtoms with the artillery
of facts, and Bryan is now on the
run. He has discovered that the av-
erage American voter is not to be
fooled into mistaking for substan-
tial meal Barmecide banquet of
wind, and that while audiences may
sometimes show good humor by Civ
ing candidate an uproarious recep-
ton, they are apt to do some think
ing before they vote. Bryan has
found that out before.
For the rest Of the campaign Bryan
will be on the defensive. That means
that he will have to do some explain
ing, not only about his party's rec
ord, but about the record he has
made for himself And why should
he not? Mr.. Taft does not ask that
anything in his career be forgotten,
or apologized for, or omitted from
consideration by the voters to whom
he appeals There is no reason in
justice, logic or fair play, therefore,
for drawing domino over the real
Bryan and allowing him to masque-
rade as an innocent just brought into
the limelight.
Bryan must either defend Bryan or
take to the woods and stay there.
