According to Chairman Hitchcock
there has been lack of conference be-
tween western leaders in past cam
paigns, the representatives of each
state doing their best to pile up re-
publican majorities but not helping
other states which have more difficult
political battles to fight He said to-
day that he wanted to broaden the
responsibilities Of each of the western
republican leaders with view of car
rying the whole western region for
Taft and Sherman.
When asked what western states
he regarded as safely republican and
what ones he classes as doubtful Mr..
Hitchcock said:
Il have determined not to make
any predictions at any time That
will be my policy throughout the
campaign. We won't neglect any ter
rltory where there is bare chance
of victory, either north, south, east
or west, but shall not indulge in
forecasts"
delegation from Denver arrived
here tonight to see Mr. Hitchcoc'i and
urged the selection of that city as the
place Of establishing a western head-
quarters for the distribution of cam
palgn material and assignment OF
speakers. Salt Lake is being consid-
cred also but no decision will be made
until after Mr.. Hitchcock returns to
the east.

Britain's ssSix Hundred" Lords.
The British house of commons can
not have more than go members, but
the number entitled to seats and votes
in the house of lords varies as old
peerages become extinct or new ones
are created. The roll Is increasing,
and it is believed that the late premier,
Campbell-Bannerman, will be made a
lord should he recover his health. and
in that case he will take his seat in the
legislative chamber which not long ago
he declared ought to be amended or
ended" His colleague in this senti-
ment, John Morley, has just been pro-
NOTED from the house of commons to
the august upper chamber Of parlia-
ment.
A generation ago the troll Of the
lords spiritual and temporal" bore 553
names, and that recently issued for the
present session of parliament gives the
names of Clio. OF these three are
''peers of the blood royal" two are
archbishops and twenty-four bishops,
while more than one-half Of the total,
333, are barons, the lowest rank in the
peerage. CT dukes there are but twen-
ty-two and of noble earls 124. Scot
land is represented in the house of
lords by sixteen representative peers,
who are elected for each parliament.
ireland elects twenty-eight representa-
tive peers, who serve for life. One Of
the propositions for reform is that all
the lords of the realm be elected on
their merits as representative men.

Mexican Fear IF Uncle Sam.

1t is extremely unlikely that many
intelligent Mexicans were unaware OF
the fact that they have an enterprising
neighbor on the north until our fleet
of battleships steamed into Magdalena
bay. However, some of the sensation
al Mexican papers profess to see in
that event grounds for fear that this
country would like to annex to it's
holdings that magnificent stretch of
water. 1t is perfectly legitimate for
Uncle Sam to covet possession of Mag
dalena bay, especially as the Mexicans
have never set much store by it. 1t
had no regular port of entry until one
was established by the Mexican gov
eminent to handle the traffic brought
by the recent visit of the fleet.
The United States flag now floats
over considerable territory that once
belonged to Mexico. 1t needs no argu-
ment to prove that California and Tex
as today are great improvement on
what they would have become under
Mexican rule. We acquired them De-
cause the Mexicans neglected their OPP
portunities, and that is always the way
things go in the civilized world. Mex
leo should utilize Magdalena bay or
expect to see 1t fall into the hands of
a nation that will. Since the bay is of
little use to Mexico and the United
States would be pleased to own it, the
surest way to eliminate it as cause
for worry would be to offer it to US
for a reasonable consideration. Official
Mexico allowed the battleship fleet to
put in there, and it can do no good for
anybody south Of the Rio Grande to
make faces at Americans because we
accepted the favor and found the pros
pect fair to look upon and well worth
owning and making something out OF.

hadn't heard it as applied to myself for
quite a number Of years. 1t sure did put
hinge in my arm, and I did have to be
taken out every time the demand was
hurled out by the gang. for I was per-
fectly incompetent to go ahead and work.
II finally got pig-headed about It,
though, and one day when I started to
pitch against Pittsburg after having been
yanked from the box only two days be-
fore, l made up my mind to beat 'em
out on their cry somehow. I didn't have
much on this day at that, and was some
wild in the bargain. so that in the very
first inning / walked two men and hit
another, filling the bases.
Then they slipped me the big. big
holler. Take him out and felt ugly and
desperate. 1t was during that spring
period when / had my bad slump. and
was more or less to the bad. With those
three men on the bases and the gang
bowling for my timing, McGraw t-udged
down the lot and motioned me to go get
my drink of water. shook my head at
him. / gave him the nix good and strong
and told him that l was there to pitch
and that pitch intended to do. Muggsy
looked me over, picked up blade Of grass
and chewed 1t, and told me to go ahead
then and blow the game If I was going
to be SO plug-ugly about 1t. The crowd

ROOFING AT BALL GAMES

The crowds at the Polo grounds have
encouraged the Giants, and they are
hustling from start to finish. AS a money
maker for the National League. the
Giants have gained point very pleasing
to Mr.. Brush.
The most unpleasant feature of base
ball in New York is the unlooked-for set
back of the Highlanders. With Frank
Farrell. one of the very best sportsmen In
the country, taking the small end OF the
game with a high-salar!ed team. such
are the fortunes of war. and Boston had
more than her share OF the same kind
of luck for two years. with the chances
of at least having a good ball team and
a chance to get the money.
For the first time in years the Phillies
have shade the best of II In Philadel-
phia, not as a drawing attraction. but in
the way of chance to get into the
running.
In Chicago the clubs are running along
pretty evenly, considering that the Cuos
are the champions. / know that Comis-
key set his heart on winning the cham
pionship this season, for / heard him de-
clare last winter that they couldn't build
a wall high enough to keep the White
SoX from carrying of the bunting
Even with poor showing by some or
the American League clubs. all will come
out well ahead of the game ard at least

was made certain, as the race was close
