SOMETHING IN THE CENTRALIZED LINE

Lest we forget" the Organized Democracy Is
repeating its patent platform warning against
1.-The insidious consequences of the policy of
centraIizing the powers Of government"
Also, "lest we forget" it is well to hear in
mind that couple Of years ago. after spanding
some time abroad, studying the highly central
lied systems Of government IN the Old World,
Mr. Bryan earnestly urged the adoption here of
that supreme and consummate development of
Capitalization, government ownership of rail
roads, a measure which would give TO our fed
eral administration more Centralized power"

OVERHEAD SYSTEMS OF TRAVEL.

The week Just ended was full Of incidents of

Though nothing OF Importance was accom-
plished by Won Zeppelin, the resumption of his
flights was at least noteworthy. The excur-

Fresh evidence OF the increasing popularity

when a sailing vessel, because of strong and

round Cape Horn her way to Australia and

The Sox played a peppery game behind
the heightened pitching OF DOC" White,
and got back to the 800 mark.
There was the old. time kill-em-quick
method In evidence. The former champs
were up on their toes. and had the game
won before the Nationals knew what
struck them. In brief all the runs made
by the Sox were over the plate before
a man was out in the first inning. They
could not get any more off the southpaw
pitching Of "Bill' Burns, but as White
was himself. a couple were a big plenty.
II was taking sudden advantage of an
opening presented right at the jump
which settled the hash Of Joe Canullon's
lads.
Burns pitched a corker of a game for
the Nationals, but he had the misfortune
to hit Eddie Hahnswith the first ball he
pitched. A single by Manager Jones fol-
lowed, and after Davis was saved on
nasty bounder to the third sack. John
Anderson won the game with a smash 10
left field. which nearly manned Shipke
as It whizzed past his leg.
Held Nationals Safe.
There was nothing more stirring for
the Sox. but Whites curves were so

visitors stood on their heads trying TO
connect.
