tional association before this event
could be brought about.
Pitcher Thomason, of Bartlesville. is
due to report today or tomorrow. The
OK league season closed yesterday
and Thomson is now the property of
Topeka. He will likely be given a
chance in some game before the season
is over.
Jack Halla is probably out of the
game for the remainder of the season
He was left at home on the recent trip
made by the Louisville team on ac-
count of sickness. Jack is sick in bed
high fever. Too bad for Jack has done
splendid work all season.
The Joplin team seems to be having a
slump of late. Topeka took three from
the Miners on their own battle ground
and Webb City has been landing on
the Miners pitchers pretty hard. Larry
Milton will probably find some salts
faction in this as he has taken a ma
iority of the games played between the
two teams
The general Verdlct around LOUISVILLE
seems to be that Z. Olson will land
Mig Perrines job next season. Mig is
not fielding up to his usual standard
and his hitting is woefully weak. Too
much money left to him at one time
together with his desire for a gay life,
put Mig out of business.
Clarence Nelson. who went to Webb
CITY in the trade for Downey, is back
with the Nets and is pitching again.
Milton traded Downey for D. White
and Nelson. White refused to play
any more and Nelson is back. The
question now is What did Milton get
out of the trader"
Paul Cobb, who probably has been
more widely advertised than any other
player of the association. is under the

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept 9.-The Saints
took the last game of the season from
the Blues in the first inning. The score
was to 5. In that round Crutcher,
who had been selected by Monte Cross
to heave them over, did not have any
thing like effect and was wild. The
Kelleyites took the chance to accumu-
late six runs, and these proved just
enough to win. During the following
rounds the Blues ran their total to five
and lost a couple of opportunities to
win. Save the first round, Crutcher

LONG LIVE THE KAISER.

The commanding figure OF the Kaiser
as he enters his 5Oth year attracts and
holds the attention OF the civilized
world.
His enormous and practically despo-
tic power, the great nation over which
he bears sway, and his strong person.
ality, make Of him the most remark
able parsonage In the world today
Yet the progress Of Germany under
his rule has been remarkable. He can
almost say with Louis XIV, II am the
State" The New York World de-
clares that "he comes near being Ger
many's congress, constitution, judi
ciary and Interstate commerce commits
sion all in one"
HE is" continues that paper, the
little father to whom the nation looks
for license to act, mothers for reproof
on race suicide and instruction in
household duties. the clergy for doc
trlne, artists for criticism, the army for
ideals"
The Kaiser is practically the arbiter
of all German questions, whether they
concern government policy or elegan-
cies OF court etiquette. Though there
is no Peace Of Portsmouth TO his credit,
he has consistently stood for peace.
He has advocated a great navy to that
end and an Increased army. He Is the
unoltering foe OF the pessimist, for
whom he has said Germany has no
place.
THE Kaiser at forty-nlne receiving the
plaudits Of the populace on his birth
day, with his hold on the affections of
the nation strengthened. with no third
term doubts to trouble him or preda-
tory plutocracy to deal with. is a mon
arch TO evoke envy in other capitals"
a monarch who can so impress him
self. both upon his own and foreign
nations, is necessarily man of great
ability.
Like the rest of the world. then we
also feel to say, Long live the Kali

SUCCESSFUL COOPERATION.

We have often expressed the opin-
ion that corporation. intelligently
and honestly directed, is the only and
ultimate solution of some of the most
pressing problems of our age. 1t Is
pleasing. therefore, to notice cases of
successful efforts on that line.
The New York Evening Post tells
of an Interesting experiment in Joint
house-owning, which has been going
on for ten years. 1t had its origin al
the East Side House settlement and
many young men connected with the
clubs OF the settlement Joined with a
few friends of the organization in buy
ing stock at $40 share. With the
proceeds of this sale of stock the ten
ement on East Seventy-seventh Street
was purchased. The land and build
ing cost s1,2677.50, on which the orig
inal mortgage was $4,000, so that
the first investment was Approximately
$4,000. There is a paid-up capital
of $3.50, while the equity in the
property. cash in hand, and very
small estimated increase in values
amount to s7,43O.S7 This shows a
profit exceeding Is per cent. The
mortgage has been reduced to $4,000.
Enterprises of this kind point the
way out of the troubles of excessive
rents in the larger cities. They
make It possible for the families with
modest means 20 become at least part
owners Of homes.
