CORPORATIONS IN POLITICS

candidate Taft is quoted in an in
view as approving campaign con-
buttons from corporations. and is
orted TO have made this defense
his position:
ION the same ground that you
|uld ask a rich man instead OF a
pr man to contribute to any
Sc. Because they can afford IT.

mocratie party advocated free

ftys campaign would you con-
butte? To that OF the Republican

principle affects the corpora
ms business. But there are other
nciples, such a sgood citizenship
p belief in a certain form OF
Yernment."
IT would have been thought that
nan who has been nominated by
great party as it's candidate for
sident could have put up bet
argument than this. In it Mr..
Z betrays a woeful lack of clear
Eh,edness and sound reasoning,
confirms our position that 1t is
portant that his candidacy needs
be strongly bolstered up II the
preston is to be made upon the
ters that he is n man of pres-
htial calibre. 1t Is possible that
&c does believe that II is right and
'per for corporations to contrib
to campaign funds, but he must
e better argument than he has
ZEN to convince even the most
ling. Corporations enjoy specific
limited rights under the law,
mono have yet been given the
int to vote for president. Our
IS guarantee them protection, but
e them no rights in elections,
4 the law making the giving anG
kepting Of campaign contributions
and from corporations a felony
proper. Their influence through
eral contributions in the past has
I'm dangerous to the welfare OF
government, and there is no
son for believing that the dan

vote; but we do not believe that
day is anywhere in the imme-
ke future. Until that day does
le, there is no earthly reason
Mr.. Taft's stand.
aside from the legal phases to
case, the average reader has
g ago been convinced that the
ticipation of corporations in
ctions is followed by n corrupt
influence that destroys the will
| the people in the making OF their
KS and gives the reins of the gov
- cnt into selfish and despotic
|nds. The gigantic example is our
|tional government. Millions OF
|ist-earned dollars poured into its

sisted the Republican party to

ences of this influence in our own

1t is a slight surprise to know
lat Mr.. Taft favors letting corpora

Salute to the Flag for Schools.

Today is celebrated as Flag Day.
The American Flag Association in a
circular to the press suggests the fol-
lowing as a school salute to the flag.
At Il given hour in the morning, the
pupils are assembled and in their
places in the school. A signal is Civ
en- by the principal of the school.
Every pupil rises in his place. The
Flag is brought forward to the princi-
pal or teacher While it is being
brought forward from the door to the
stand of the principal or teacher, every
pupil gives the Flag the military sa-
lutte, which is as follows:
The right hand uplifted, palm up
ward, to a line with the forehead close
to it. While thus standing with palm
onward and in the attitude of salute,
all the pupils repeat together slowly
and distinctly the following pledge:
Il pledge allegiance to my Flag and
to The Republic for which it
One naiiol indivisibc. with liberty
and justice for all.
At the words, as pronounced in this
pledge, "ro my Flag" each one eX-
tends the right hand gracefully, palm
upward, toward the Flag until the end
of the pledge affirmation. Then all
hands drop to the side. The pupils,
still standing, all sing together in
unison the song "America'-"My
Country 'Tis of Thee"
In the primary departments. where
the children are very small they are
taught to repeat this. instead of the
pledge as given for the older children:
II give my head and my heart to
God and my Country
enc Country, one Language, one
FlaS.''
In some schools, the salute is given
in silence, as an act of reverence, I'M
accompanied by any pledge. At q
signal, as the Flag reaches it's station,
the right hand raised palm downward
to a horizontal position against the
forehead, and held there until the
Flag is dipped and returned to a verti-
cal position. Then, at second signal,
the hand is dropped to the side and
the pupi! takes his seat.
The silent salute conforms very
closely to the military and naval sa-
Lutte to the Flag
Principals may adopt the "silent
salute" for a daily exercise and the
pledge salute" for special occasions.

NIGHT OWLS ARE 1T.
Win from Journal Day Crew Saturday
Afternoon, 10 to 9.

1t is understood that there is no
longer any doubt as to the respective
merits of the night and day crews of
the Journal when it comes to playing
baseball. Possibly the knowledge of
the two crews regarding the great ma
tional game may be about the same,
but when it comes to playing the game
itself, getting out onto the diamond
and knocking out home runs and two
baggers, it is conceded that the players
on the night crew team are 1T.
The above conclusion is based on
superstition, nor is it the result of
mathematical calculation, but is con-
sentative estimate reached only after
the two teams had argued the matter
for nine interesting. not to say excit-
ing innings on the Reuel Williams field
Saturday afternoon. The personnel of
the two teams was as follows:
Night Crew-Cony, C: Prout p; Fell
tus, SIS; Peterson. 1b; Connors, 2b;
Coombs, 3b; Murphy, IF; Thompson,
CT; Thyng, IT,
Day Crcw-O. Taylor.c; Flynt, p:
Kimball, IS; Edwards, 1b; Berran, 2b;
Hill, 3b; J. Taylor, If; Martin, CT;
Marco, If.
The umpires were City Marshal
Fletcher and Judge Maher and one of
the features of the game was the fact
that no kicks were put up against
the decisions. Other features We're
the hitting of Feltus and Peterson, the
pitching of Prout. who struck out IA
men. and last but by no means least.
the roofing by Grenier and Clark.
The game was PLAYED strictly on its
merits. and each side played to win.
but that was an impossibility. and
when the last man had been put out
in the last half of the last inning. and
the last score had been counted the
totals showed that the night crew had
won with magnificent score of 10 to
9. Further comment is perhaps I'M
necessary.

A telephone message was received at
police headquarters early Saturday
morning from the police authorities at
Oakland, asking the Augusta officers
to be on the lookout for team which
had been stolen at Oakland Friday
night and which consisted of bay
horse standing about 1872 and weigh
ing 1850 pounds, attached to low
body Concord wagon. The horse was
in good condition and had small sore
on the shoulder, due to the collar. La
ter in the day Levi Bickford of oak
land, owner of the team, arrived in the
city and reported to the police that ne
had traced the team as far as North
Augusta. He also stated that he sus-
pected two men, Eugene Fl. Cochrane
of Manchester and Frank Perkins OF
Oakland of having taken the team,
and swore out warrants against them
The men were arrested later and con-
fined at the police station, and will
probably be given hearing before the
municipal court this morning. Up to a
late hour last night the team had not
been recovered.

organized baseball team and seek to
win glory on the diamond. Included in

can timber up sufficiently to play the
game, also others who have demon
strated this season that they can turn
quite a smooth trick at ball tossing: Z.
