Just an idea of the elasticity of the
team can be gained from the fact that
in the shifting maneuyres in the evening
game three men played in the pivotal
position and all made good The last
shift brought Toby to the center, where
he was cheered for the 191st time during
the day.
Manager Gray announces from his
summer quarters at Portsmouth, that
games are being arranged with the relu-
venated East Boston A. A. team and
Jack Fox's Gloucester bunch. The latter
aggregation is not by any means the
team Company D defeated so badly last
season, but is made up of Fox, Vaughn,
Corbet, Dorian and Mclaughlin, and
should give good account OF itself
The next game is scheduled for Satur-
day evening. The bill is the HaverhilI,
Mass, team and Company D. This
promises to be warm session. The
visiting team is made up of former Dart
mouth and Sp ingheld, Vt, men, who
have in the past made such good show
ing here and there should be a good
turnout.
Games have been arranged with the
Newport Naval Reserves and with Lau-
ter A. c., to be played here some time
this month. The Newport team is one
of three teams that defeated Company D.
last season and the Lauter aggregation
will be remembered as the fastest passing
team ever seen on the local court. We
predict good crowds.

HrREp cAMpAraNrRa.

The Brooklyn Eagle holds that 1t is entirely wrong for a political party to send out paid campaign speakers, and has this to say about 1t:
 The system of hiring speakers no doubt reaches Its lowest estate of con- tempt in the big cities where the 3I0 night speaker in vacant stores and on cart tails has received the graphic name of swtndJamHser." "Spellbinder' a higher order of speaker; a man wh o either has more convictions of his cause or more skill in stimulating conviction. hsrdsd hs to the ancn awinndjammsrs; they were a committeeman. The committeeman had printed a book of instructions for them. When you saw the book you windjammer. but of a hundred. Only women and children failed to know that these men were hired. Their very manner usually betrayed the fact that for bread and butter. The knowledge that they were paid destroyed all their influence. It always does. Even if a for rSttnkS Se 9e McEniey SaTtsr bis Sf ndehee lSe was gone the moment people learned his price. The same sort of orator could could not % get one-tsnth that sum now. and would not be worth the money. The hired campaigner Is fraud and a nuisance If Mir. Bryan gets rid of him, bis candidacy will not have been In vain.
 As a general proposition. or even as a special one. we think The Eagle cor rect. If 1t were possible to free our politics entirely from money considera- tions 1t would be for the betterment of parties and principles. If it Is known that man who is making speeches for a candidate is paid a liberal price for his work. it is reasonable to suppose that he will not have the same infu- ence that he could command were he making speeches from love of the cause and from his honest belief in the prin- ciples he advocates. In the former case, he is likely to be regarded as a man who will advocate any cause for which he is paid. but if 1t is known that he Is doing his work without re- ward or the hope of it. those who hear him will believe in his sincerity and appreciate his honesty.
 But. we may ask. what is the need of such enormous campaign funds if none of it is to be paid out for speakers? Campaigns. especially national ones are highly expensive affairs these days. but if nothing should be used for the payment of the men who do the talk ing. 1t would not require 8 campaign fund for either party running into the millions If many people look on this a a corruption fund. and speak of 1t as such. we need not blame them There

rHuRspAY. JULY ss. 1908.

Champ Clark of Missouri has allowed the information to get out that he in- tends to be the next Speaker of the House. No one was aware of this be- fore he told about 1t. but "as he himself has said it." why should we not take his word for it? True, there Is first &hs little formality of electing Demo cratic majority: also the other formal fly of getting himself elected to the speakership but he has that all fixed up. "Bryan will be elected" quoth Champ, s.and we win have Democratic House. and I as good as have the Speakershp in my hand" There's optimism and several other things for you. but 1t might not be amiss for him to shut his hand tight less the office slips away from him and gets lost. Such things do happen.

Any one who wants to make money by selling whiskey should go to New Zealand. if the following paragraph, which we find in an exchange. is true:
 A bottle of whiskey was recently sold for S3 at Ohagune. New Zealand, which is forty miles from the nearest saloon. One man bought two large s'nips' for $5 each, and the remaining contents of the bottle were put up for auction and knocked down for $2o.
 That was the biggest profit from tn" sale of whiskey that we have yet noted. It also shows how a man will pay for the booze when he wants it real bad. As we figure 1t out the first purchaser made a profit of twenty-seven dollars on a three-dollar investment. and that is what we call good speculation.

A PROPER IDEA.

The Brooklyn Eagle is highly pleased at the suggestion of popular sub scriptlon in New York for suitable portrait of Grover Cleveland to be placed in the State House at Albany. The proposition is heartily endorsed by The New York Tribune. the political enemy of the dead President. Tt is curious.." 1t says. that nearly a quar- ter of century should have been al- lowed after Mir. Cleveland was called from the Governorship to higher office without his picture having been placed in the gallery of portraits of former Governors. especially in view of his great personal following and the wide spread regard for him. not as a mere oficial and political leader. but as man of conscience. whose character and example should be kept before the people as an inspiration to good citi- zenship. With the exception of the late Governor Higgins. the portrait of every former Governor back to Roswell r. Flower, is in the Executive chamber. together with those of q large ma jority of the earlier Governors. and 1t would be highly creditabie to the state to have complete collection of its Ex- ecutives. both for it's historic interest and as deserved memorial to the in- dividuals who thus served the people Certainly there should be no vacant space left on the wall where Mir. cleve- iand's portrait belongs. The amount al- ready so promptly subscribed by citi- gems, many of whom were not political supporters of Mr. cieveland's policies. should be considerably increased so as to make possible the purchase of DOT trait of the highest quality and to give the tribute a thoroughly representative character"
 To our way of thinking, It is some what discreditable. as we'll as curious. that a portrait of Mir. Cleveland should not long since have been placed in the State House. No personal or political reasons should have been allowed to interfere to prevent what would have simply been an act of right and jus tice.

Happy Memories In Montana.

Milwaukee Free Press.
 Montana has it's own ideas of festivi- ties and incidents to which it 's pleas ant for memory to revert.
 A Milwaukee man has lately returned from Montana. While there a uheriff whom he met was pleased to take a fancy to him and endeavor to entertain him. Among other things to which the sheriff invited the visitor was q hang ing. The Fastener accepted. more out of regard to the sheriffs feelings than any wish to see the execution.
 One day last week the Fastener re ceived a letter from his Western t'iend in which was inclosed a photograph of the body. hanging from the gailows and the crowd looking on. The note accompanying the picture expressed the hope that the picture mlgdt call up pleasant recollections of the visit to Montana, which the sheriff hal en- joyed to the utmost and which he hoped his young friend had found equally y,Ieaaant

Insurance in England.

 The laws governing insurance In England differ largely from those of the United Statse. More liberal in that tain kinds of insurance companies the like of which it would be difficult here to find. Insurance is there taken out on lives of persons without the knowl King of England. probably, has been the most largely insured man In the world, and his knowledge of the fact was gained from reading the newspa- pers In other words, his consent was not obtained, nor knowledge of the in- tention given him.
 Tradesmen who had gone to great expense In decorations at the time of the coronation celebration. insured Ed wards life to cover the losses which might result from his sudden death prior to or pending the days Of cele- bration or the abandonment of the cer- emonies.

On Tariff, Trust and Campaign Fund
 Issues Bryan Should Wfn.
 The following telegram from Port Carling. Ont. to the editor of The New York Wo la appears in that paper of
 Mir. Bryan war not my choice but he and Kern are both able and clean and they are the urdoubted choice of the Democracy.
 I do not approve everything in the Denver platform, but 1t Is infinitely preferable to the Republican platform, and Bryan and Kern will receive my hearty support.
 IL the contest ought to turn on tarifE reform and fair elections, now Is the time, now the opportunity, for the old light over again between the people and the protected interests.
 MT. Roosevelt has blazed the way he saw soon after he came into office that the rIpid growth and infinite multipli- cation of ti usts and combines, fast fol- lowing the passage of the pingley law, Ing prices, would be laid at the door Of tAo party that passed that act Log iral.y re should have aSsailed the law, but that ne either cared not or dared not do. ye' he was brave enough to show up the iniquity of the trusts in messages and speeches and to pursue them In the courts until they spoke of him through the press as a crazy anar. chist.
 Perhaps Mir. Roosevelt by pursuing this course has saved hls party That certainly was his purpose. but possibly MT. Roosevelt has failed in this end. and he certainly has if the people can only be made to see that the trusts have been robbing the people. just as the President says they have, and fur ther that these trusts, thriving under prosecution through the courts, have their citadel In the Dingley law.
 Let the people further understand that there Is no free silver law issue. and 1t Is not anarchy to Insist on fair tarift laws. Then let us declare that We will have published to the world an account of all contributions to our election funds. not after the election, but before, and not only an account ni moneys received by some one person called treasurer of a National Commit tee. but by all treasurers everywhere. FLshing these Issues to the front the Democracy ought to win.

SHE PROTESTS.

The Brooklyn Eagle has a custom of it's own in printing marriage license notices in which it differs from the other newspapers of the city. It prints the list of licenses issued each day and also the ages of the parties as obtained from the license book. This practice calls forth a protest from young wo- man who Is proposing to get married in September. She admits that she Is several years older than the man she is going to marry. but seriously objects to having their respective ages given to the public. A woman's age Is a deli cate subject. she argues, and is mo- body's business but her own, so she enters her protest against the form of publicity pursued by The Eagle. She goes so far as to assert that the paper is bought and read by many persons for no other reason than to ascertain the ages of the women and girls about to be married.
 The Eagle admits the force of the young woman's argument. but declines to depart from its custom, which it thinks Is for the public welfare, as one might say. Because" 1t argues. '.the publication in The Eagle seems to be the only publicity likely to deter those contemplating marriage by fraud or misrepresentation. The Eagle cannot abandon a practice which disturbs this correspondent. and, no doubt other es- timable young people. At the same time we are sorry to vex any nice girl. Socially a woman's age is nobody's business but her own. The curiosity which prompts her neighbors to pry into the matter is vulgar though very human. The desire to defeat that euri- osity is also very human, and. up to a certain point. commendable. We are sure. however. that this girl will not go so far as to tell lie to that end. The remedy is so much worse than the disease that she will revolt at it. Let her tell the truth and shame the devil. She has the man, the neighbors haven't. If he Is the man she wants she is the happiest girl in the world and can afford to laugh at the curios- ity which she finds so annoying in ad- vance. So The Eagle win go on pub fishing the ages in marriage licenses, this girls with the others. But. per- haps. when the day comes, the printer may blur the last figure so the neigh bors cannot read it. Even editors have hearts, while printers have mallets and jacknives."
 We doubt very much whether that explanation will be quite satisfactory to the young woman who objects to having her age paraded in the papers. It Is altogether likely that she is hId- ing her age from her future husband as well as from the public possibly fearing that he may back out if he finds that he is getting wife several years older than himself. We see noth- ing for her to do but to hide her age from the license ofiicial and thus keep her young man in the dark as long as she can.
