DAIRY FARM"

The attraction at the Jacques this week will be the wholesome ru- ral drama, Dairy Farm played by Polls Own Stock company.

BASE BALL NOTES.
W Haven here tomorrow,

New Haven here tomorrow.
 That catch of Bronkie's was star.
 Gus Soffel, Eddie Bridges and Ham Wade were present from MerIden to watch the doings. z
 A catcher full of ginger similar to Joe Connor or Paddy O'Connor would be big help to the local outfit. Red Waller was just in the mood to twirl and could have delivered the pellet for a couple of hours longer.
 Springfield has three new men coming fEom Baltimore. A couple of twirlefs will be among their num- Der.
 Lucia wabbied like a sea lion be- hind the bat yesterday. To say the least he played very indifferent game.
 That boy Bronkie is one good ball player. He is on his pins every min ute and it is no wonder that the fans consider him one Of the best in the league.
 Pat Dougherty used to falter and tumble when he played left field for the New Works, but he glides around now at American league park with all the ease of finished fielder.
 Side by side, with George Jackson between them, sat Alderman Dr Hayes and Charles, the midget poii- tician from the first. Charlie did ey- erything but look at the doctor.
 This is a great season for numerous pitchers in one game hut the record | for one team still belongs to McGraw, who put in six in one game against the Chicagos a season or two ago.
 When the New York Nationals were | in the south there was talk of Me- Graw putting Merkle on second base. A good many rooters for the team would like to see him try the plan now. .t.
 Our pitchers are doing veil enough, Bastian at third is better than Coveleski, but what We need is emergency hitters. This has been proven conclusiyely in the last few games.
 Griffith's pitchers are all big m n except Doyle. Chesbro, Lake. New | ton, Glade, Hogg. Orth and Manning make up brawney staff. Lake, Manning. Orth. Newton and Hogg are six fOoters.
 In the matter of ''hitless wonders the Athletics are beginning to engage attention. They beat Boston with three hits to the latter teams seven; beat Washington with three hits to the other sides six. beat Boston with six hits to BOston's nine. and beat Chicago with two hits to the Soxs' f three.
 The fans in the old staLd who sit near the entrance are up in arms be- { cause during the last couple of tn- nings of a game their view is shut of by those who want to go out { early. If they want to go. it's all rigAt. but they have an oter abun- dance of gall to stand near the end of the stand and obstrGct the view | of the never say die" rooters in the seats. Get next to yourselves and move along in the future 90 it will not be necessary to have Manager Durant place a policeman there

Parry, an amateur baseball player, put forth such great effort in a long throw from deep left field to the home plate during game between two local baseball teams that he burst a blood vessel and fell dead as the ball reached the catcher and put out the player who was trying to steal home.

WASHINGTON

Today i,. as 1t ought to b.. the day which recalls the most glo- s.oHs memories to the minds of Americans, for it k fhe annieef ,ary of the birth of the greatest man the continent ot Amerl,a has modaeed
 In speaking of one who pos ,essed cue characteristics of Washington slir hardest thing teaFoid k going into rhapsud, ic,. He appears after this lapse ot time. at fed~t. to have more nearly approNimated perfection than any other man in history unless one cares te take into ae count such semi idealized and semi mythical characters as those of Alfred of England and Bayard of France.
 Washington, by his almost ,u- perhumaH will power, turned dark defeats into a glorious vic turs anu rofut,d r.ot., g, s.aaIl colony the nucleus of one of The greatest nations on earth.
 One need not accept American opinion of the Father of his Country re Be convinced that Washington deserves an honored niche in the hearts of the whole globe In all lands his nam7 i~ known and revered, and at all hre,idcs the beauty of his char acter i> held up as the most per feet form on which could be modelled the characters Of those who are entering manhood S threshold
 
 Leaving American opinion >e ve.elE alone one need only turn to Lechy. a British historian. to learn inc estimation in which Washington is held by fore: gn, CTS. Leclzy says the general vas remarkable for clearness aud soandnes, of judgment, for perfect moderation and self con. wol and for quict dignity
 ie describes him as the most invariably judicious of the lead CTS of modern times, and he de eiareS that not one rash word or action has been recorded against lhe man who lived in time that would have.tried the patience of a Job

 He was in the highest sense of the word a gentleman and man of honor, summed up Lecky. "and carried into public life the severest standard of public morals.
 Washington's name is green today. 135 years after his birth, and will probably live long after the names of Alexander. Caesar and Napoleon are forgotten.

THE FLEET AND DIPLOMACY.

The American fleet has sailed away
from Melbourne amid cheering and
the salutes of guns. London papers
and the Australian and New Zealand
papers are full of it and they show
evident good will toward the United
States and unbounded admiration for
the performance of the fleet
The London Spectator especially
shows disposition to regard the pure
ly nautical feat as nothing short of
marvellous and says:
The prompt arrival of the United
States fleet at Auckland. in accord
ance with its program must have con-
WINGED all onlookers if the fact had
not already dawned ON them that the
rumors of grave defects in the ships
when they started on their long jour
ney were quite unfounded
One of thu out growths of tina fleet

has been the rise of anti-orientalistic
talk The colonies in the South Pa
cific are in much the same position
as our western states in their posi-
ton on oriental immigration.
THE popular rejoicings of which
we have spoken are primarily and
sincerely a demonstration of friend
ship for the United States. They are
also in the back ground, a demonstra-
ton against Oriental immigration in
to White Mems land" so speaks the
London Chronicle.
1t will be amusing when the fleet
finally reaches it's destination, Japan,
to read the profuse protestations of
amity and friendship of cordial good
fellowship etc, which will of course
emanate from the Nipponese press.
How friendly everything will be.
Truely. this cordial entente and
most favored nation business is past
all understanding. Diplomacy, how
many lies and dissembled faces are
due to your influence.

BANK GUARANTY FALLAcY.

The bank guarantee is not new
thing. The scheme which Mr.. Bryan
has industriously exploited came from
China many years ago.
When Martin Van Buren, was COVER
nor of the state of New York, Joshua
Forman, citizen of Syracuse, was the
sponsor of the scheme. Forman has
left the following memoranda:
THE propriety of making the banks
liable for each other was suggested by
the regulations of the Hong Kong mer-
chants in Canton, China. There a
number of men actin" SEPARATELY have
grant of the government the exclusive
right of trading with foreigners and
are made liable for the debts of each
other in case of failure
In 1929 the scheme was suggested to
Van Buren,. The legislature passed a
law compelling each bank to put into
the hands of a treasurer an amount
equal to three per cent of its capital.
When the three per cent was reached
the accumulations were distributed
among the contributors unless the in
solvency of some bank drew from the
fund.
Everyone knows that this banking
system did not continue. Let us see
what happened. The history of the
time throws an interesting light on the
subject.
1.-THE invitation which the blanket
guaranty offered to entrance into the
banking business was not lost on the
general public. The public mind was
further excited by the general belief
that President jackson was about to
abolish the National Bank of the Unit
ed States, and that this would give fur.
Their opportunities for banking. AS a
result regular mania for making
banks set In.

FOREST SERVICE.

Washington, Sept 5.-Interest here
in the New York gubernatorial situa-
ton is so intense that politicians even
are in danger of forgetting that pre-,
sidentfal campaign is on the boards.
The fact that Taft and Bryan are rum
ming for the first office in the land is
hardly mentioned except as it may be
affected by the situation in New York.
Sentiment can no better be describ-
ed than to say that democrats are JOY
full and republicans apprehensive Re-
publican rejoicing over the results in
Vermont was dimmed by the fear that
the factions in New York may get so
far apart that hey cannot be brought
together by November. 1t would be
presumptious for any one in Washing
ton to say whether it would be better
politics to renominate Gov. Hughes OF
to place another at the head of the
republican ticket, but there can be no
disputing that the conflict is highly
deplorable from the standpoint of nat
Jonah republican politics. While re-
publican differences in other states
are being composed, there is increas-
ing bitterness between republican
factions in the most important state
in the union.
There is a disposition in some quar-
tiers to blame President Roosevelt for
the present situation. Maybe this is
because the presidents shoulders are
broad and he can carry the blame
without seriously disturbing his equin-
unity. The assertion is made, how
ever. that had Mr.. Roosevelt spoken
month. or even two weeks ago there
would have been no opposition to
Hughes worthy of the name. He kept
silent, it is asserted. until the anti
Hughes leaders had perfected their
plans for displacing the governor and
at this late day the leaders refuse to
abandon their plans This is probab-
ly true so far as it goes, but it doesn't
do justice to the presidents position.
The anti-Hughes leaders urged Mr..
Roosevelt to keep hands off, assuring
him that the cause of harmony would
best be served by allowing New York
republicans to settle the goEernorship
| matter without his interference.
Some of the men who thus urged the
president had been Mr. Roosevelt's

Uncle Sans uniform has come to be
a very serious matter. Men cannot
be induced to wear the uniform if it

there is certainly a need for men in

such discrimination has occurred have
been punished by the withdrawal of
war vessels from their ports and a
means of furnishing individual often

Roosevelt has been especially severe
