Baseball In
The Philippines
The FTlplnOs Have Now Adopted Americas
National Game as Their Very.
Very Own.

[From an unpublished book manuscript

wNILIPINO children are not so ac-
Wl tive as those of our own race,
and their games incline TO the
- sedentnry order. Like their eld-
ers, they gamble, and, like all children
the world over, they have Il certain
routine in which games succeed one
another. At present the real bond be-
tween the American and the Filipino
is baseball "playball," the Fillpinos
call it, having learned to associate
these words with it from the enthusi-
astic shouts of American onlookers.
Baseball has taken firm hold and is
here TO stay. In Manila every plot Of
green is given over to its devotees.
Every secondary school in the country
has its nine, It's school colors and its
YELL and the pupils go out and root"

shoes are never Worn, worked with
excitement. There was Manuel, who
polished the doors, dressed In a pair
Of dirty white underdrawers, with the
ankle strings dragging, and black
and orange knit undershlrt. There
was Rosario, the little maid who wait
ed on me and went TO school. She
was third base and umpire. 4 neigh
boris boy, about eight years old, was
first base. Manuel was second base
and pitcher combined. Ceferiana was

youngest brother, about three and Il
half, was spread out in the attitude Of
the professional catcher. His plump,
rounded little legs were stretched so
far apart that he could with difficulty
retain his balance He scowled,
smacked his lips and at intervals
thumped the back Of his pudgy, clinch-

other hand with the gesture Of the
man who wears the catcher's mltt.
The ball was one Of those huge green
oranges about twice the size of an
American grape fruit Being green and
having a skin an inch thick, 1t with
stood the resounding thwacks of the
bat quite remarkably. IL was fortu-
nate that the diamond was so small,
for Il would have taken more strength
than any Of the players possessed to
send that plaything any distance
Catching it was only the art of en-
braCinC II had To be guided and
mugged to the breast, for it was too
big TO hold In the hands. The valorous
catcher IN spite Of his ficrcely profes-

then pursued it.
The bat was board about eight
inches wide wrenched from the lid OF
a Batum oil case and roughly cut down
ut one end for handle. With the size
Of the ball and the width of the bat
missing was an impossibility.
Rosario, as | said, was both third
base and umpire. After n run they al

been repeatedly urged to establish
new offices. They refused, In order
to save the money of the people, and
so made enemies. Mr.. Crawford
made note Of this, and decided also
to be ..sliberal'' IN this case. A
telephone inspector was created. A
hotel inspector was given q job. A
fire Inspector was created. This last
office was created because a promise
had been made to some one and as
there were not Offices enough to go
around, a new one had to be made.
1t is his duty to go to a man after a
fire has occurred and tell him all
about how it happened! And the
people pay the cost. The tax payers
OF the state have invested some
5000, 600 OF extra money i'm trying to
make votes for Crawford. This is
the real explanation of the big
appropriations and the high taxes.
The stalwarts we're punished for
doing their plain duty, and Mr..
Crawford may be excused for think
ing he could buy his way into the
United States by not doing bis duty.
1t does not seem to be working that
way, which simply shows that nov

The Pierre Dako;an Is making a
very strenuous effort to defeat the
nomination of Charles II. Burke, of
Pierre, for congress. The Dakotan
thinks there is little use in Pierre
having a congressman and that the
capital city would be much better off
without one; that heretofore Pierre
has been able to grow on federal all
without Mr.. Burke,'s help; that the
ine federal building was secured for
Pierre without the aid OF the con-
gresham from that city, and that
the erection Of that building did not
act as a stimulant for other buildings
to follow; that 1t did not expert a
good influence for Pierre to take on
a strong lease Of life. The Dakotan
really ought to stand up and apollo
gize to Charley Burke for all the
unkind things that 1t has said Of
bin, and come and support Mr..
Burke for the nomination. There. is
no reason why the Dakotap should
hhd it necessary to oppose a man
who h&A made a most excellent
record ia congress and who has done
50 much for Pierre.

The hattie has been waced so fiercely

a few days ago Attorney General
Clark assembled some republicans in
Redfeld, reported to te made up Of
both factions of the party, and pre-
sented for their appreciation a state
ment declaring for peace and har-
mony, a copy of which was received
by The Republican. Below we quote
a few paragraphs from the state

the urgent wish OF the insurgents
i'm this question. With the insur-
gents in control at the Huron con.
vention in March would hey pass up
the opportunity to endorse the
candidacy Of Governor Crawford or
senator? They most certainly would.
and the state central committee
gives the Key to the situation when
it die the same thing at the co,u-
mittee meeting, something that vas
wholly unnecessary.
Really the most important part Of
the situation is the fact that the
insurgents are satisfied that they.
are losing ground aid naturally they
want to ease up on things for
several months in order to try and
get back their lost ground. 1t is.
absurd to say that the March
primaries will have no effec5 on the
June primaries. The Crawford people
have set the pace in this senatorial
matter: they have laid down the
gauntlet for the fight to dispose Of

What benefits the stalwarts can
get out of tie March primary they
are perfectly justified in using for

rAr TAXES SINCE 1901.

Tor the last thirty days, the Sioux
Falls Press, the local organ Of Mr..
Crawford, has made the statement
that the state taxes for 1907 were
o06, 700 less than the state taxes In
1905, and el87, 1877 less than the total
at 1903. The organ has daily asked
the ArGus-Leader to deny this state
ment. and encouraged by the
designed silence Of this newspaper,
tho poorly posted m%endscious organ
has gone on until 1t has fully and
thoroughly aud hopelessIy put ita
foot 10. This editor has known the
facts from the beginning. but he had
. vicious curiosity to see how many
times this falsehood would be told.
It is perhaps nov time to tell the
truth.

There is a strong significance In
the changed political conditions
which are i'll evidence and taking
place In the past year. Eighteen
months ago there we're many Of the
stalwart republicans who we're
carried away for the moment by the
insnrpent wing and they were filled
with the enthusiasm that pe1vaded
the political atmosphere in this
state. Time has gone on ana time
has given the opportunity to make
the alleged improvements which
were to be accomplished by the in
surgent faction. They have failed 10
make goou, for the reason that-much
of what they were going to change
did not really need any particular
improvement. Out in the Black Hills
country a year or more ago when the
campaign was on Messrs Emriock
and Bnell were among the leaders of
the insurgency, M today they are
found back in the ranks Of the party
strong supporters OF Senator Kit
tredge. They have given 10 the
Crawford proposition as one that is
carried on for personal benefit and
with little thought OF bepattting the
state at larpe-which has been SUBJ
stantiated by the fact that none OF
the alleged reforms have been put
into actual practice. Practically
every county in the state has in
stances of the same character to bring
TO the attention Of the peoule and
Dawson county is not without them.
The Crawford movement was neye,
very strong In Dawson county, and
while the supposition was that it
was an insurgent comfy the oppor-
tunitY have never came forward
where it couli be brought out in the
