strange and paradoXical, but they are the
result of careful inquiry as to the identity
of some of the fifty-twO persons reported
BY the census takers last year as being
employed in the executive civil service
in the capacity of editors. That fifty-two
persons edit all the great mass of printed
matter that comes from the presses OF
the government printing office is incred-
ible, and no one is asked to believe it, be-
cause it is not so. 1t is fact, however,
that the number of persons officially des-
igDated editors is extremely small. and
that much of the editorial work is done
by government employees a minor de-
tail of other activities, well done in some
cases and badly done in others.
Two instances of efficient editing by
men prominent in other lines of work,
and without newspaper training, may be
cited in the Monthly Reclamation Record

The fact that nothing had been

When Ross was apprehended the

From Mondays Daily Post.
Playing the sort of baseball that
would be disgrace to high schoo
boys, a game that was filled with er
rors from start to finish, and marred
by frequent wrangling, the Glenwood
Greens for the second time in two
days, went down before the Grand
Junction aggregation yesterday, the
final score being 10 to 8.
The score, however, is deceptive, for
q batting rally in the last half of the
ninth inning which brought in five
runs, is all that saved the boys from
a terrible drubbing.
Willett and Sandy were the only
two men in the team who were up to
their usual form, and had Sandy Is
support been equal to his pitching, the
story would have been an entirely diff
ferent one. Willett, as usual, was in
the game every second of the time,
was the star player yesterday and got
two three baggers.
In spite of the fact that the game
was fifth rate one there were many
good features, and Grand Junction
scored through errors, having few
earned runs to its credit.
Willett got his first three bagger
in the first inning. 1t was muffed
by the left fielder, but two were
down and Wiliett died on third. In
this inning Kitzmiller knocked high
one out to Willett who made a long
throw from the field to the plate
catching Hardenbrook and prevent
ing Grand Junction from scoring.
Austin Gavin sought to inject lit
1le ginger INTO the game, and put a
big, long green watermelon on the
third sack for the first man VINO
scored. jr;.nd Junction was at bat
and Hard d,nbrook got over the rubber
first and secured the prize.
By the time the fatal fourth had
rolled around and gone by the visit
OTIS had scored six runs on two hits
made by Weybrecht and Miller. In
the fifth there was a pretty double
play Brusse to Toepfer to Blatherwick
and the sensation of the seventh wa:
Bruggsman' catch of foul.
In the eighth Sandy knocked out :
tai. one to centerfeld which brought
in three runs. In the ninth Gran;

field to replace Miller who had beei
