Timely Hitting in Cleveland and

Again and AEain-Walter johnson
Expected to Join Club at Chicago.

After the remarkable showing against
Cleveland and Boston. there is every rea-
son to believe that the new Nationals are
destined TO cut a bigger figure in the
American League race than any other
team that has ever represented Wash
ington.
| II would be unfair to the team, and
likely to prove disappointing. II the fans
should expect the Nationals to continue
at a six-out-of-seyen clip. A protracted
streak. at that rate, would upset all base
ball records. and would. without doubt.
carry the team far into the lead.
This is too much to ask. but It is fair
to suppose that on the present trip the
Nationals viii split even. and return in
a better position than they at present
occupy. The squirt last week has evened
! Up the record Of the club Of having won
half their games since returning to this
city. after the poor start Of the season at
Boston and New York.
AS has been pointed out IN these col
umns since the start Of the season. Wash
ington has a wonderfully strong defensive
team. Not in fielding alone. but In the
pitching box, the club is so strong that
It bears comparison with the best in the
league, barring none. No team has been
/ able 10 win steadily from Washington by
! largo scores. but has been compelled 10
be satisfied to exc out victories by the
narrowest Of margins.
Although hitting the ball better than
| the Athletics and the White SoX, the Ma
/ tionals have suffered greatly because OF
the absence OF timely batting. On nu-
mcrous occasions. after the defense had
made plays that had stopped the other
teams with men on the bases, the Can
/ tillOnites had chances TO win out by a
| little hitting, but In the majority Of cases
| the Nationals failed
/ one Of the most encouraging signs OF
/ the last week was the clever style in
which the locals pounded the ball II
they do half as we'll during the remainder
Of the month. they will be royalty re-
ceived when they return, one month from
/ tomorrow.
! Walter Johnson will be with the Ma
tionals in Chicago before the end Of the
week. There is great curiosity concerning
the condition OF the pitcher. but no mat
ter how well he appears, when he reports
Joe Cantillon intends to give him plenty
Of time TO round into shape before start

UNCLE SAM OWNS ALASKA

The republ. .caus of Skagwsy at their recent primary passed the following resolution:
 That we resent the efforts of the federal appointoss of Alaska to discredit the delegate whom the people of Alaska have elected to congress-"
 Now if these republicans would only stop to think the matter over they would discern that they are shooting iu the air at nothing.
 Firstly To whom is this resolution addressed? lit be to the adminiStra- ton then it Is a criticism of the party to whom it is addressed for the federal officers are the representatives of the federal government, not representa- tives Of the people of Alaska.
 Secondly-Alasks belongs to the ied- eral government and not to the people of Alaska any more than it does 10 the people O. Tennessee. Alsskans didn't buy Alaska and because i, has proved to be good thing" is DO reason why iJ should be turned over to somt- one else other than the purchaser to govern as he sees it. Generally the man who owns a house has the right to govern 1t as he pleases, independents ly of what the occupant of the premises may say or think. Usually when the occupant gets to "rgsentiug" the land~ l-rd, he gets ten days uoIice to vacate, out our landlord is a kind, patient old fellow and tries to make It just as comfortable for Us as bis agents up here thinks is for the interests of Of the owners as we'll as the occupant.

AN ILLUMINATION

It has always been a matter Of wonder to citizens of the republic today, who are enjoying the blessings that have been handed down to them, how men could oppose the efforts of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and others, at the time those brave linen were struggling so hard and sacrificing so much to secure those blessings. But, lord bless us, there appears at times examples of the same thing even today that aid us in a comprehension Of that phenomenon. If ever there was country on earth that bred the sentiment of freedom in a mans soul this Alaska is it. But in the town of Juneau, down the canal, there lives a people that have the impression that Uncle Sam GOWNS" us and that we must be good and ask for nothing save what the old man sees at to give us voluntarily lest We be spanked and allowed to go huLgry, like Oliver Twist. Thank heaven there are not many such communities in this country. Read this amazing thing from the Ju- ,,sar, parOr1.
The daily Alaskan., 1908-06-02

The Alaskan would like to ask the Record who Uncle Sam ls-and what is the color of his eyes? Some of these days the people of Alaska will be called upon 10 decide by their votes, where shall be located rhs permanent capital Of this splendid empire, aud 1t will be remembered on that day that the city
The daily Alaskan., 1908-06-02

of Juneau was the one place-judged by
 the uurebuked expressions of its press that 1t was the one community that thought the people of Alaska incapable of managing their own affairs. On that day these doctrines of good old King George will be "sbooed" home to roOst.

Farmers and laborers from the three
states, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Maryland, were addressed here
by William J. Bryan today and to-
night. His first speech in the after
noon was to farmers, the second prin-
cipally to laboring men. largely min
ers. In both instances the candidate
reiterated his views concerning Taft
and the Republican platform. Tariff,
trusts, publicity of campaign contri-
buttons, guaranty of bank deposits,
and labor questions were discussed
at length. The largest gathering was
tonight when the Democratic candi-
date in talking to laboring men
pointed out what the Denver conven-
ton had done for them in promising
remedial legislation affecting the la.
boring mans status. His remarks
were roundly cheered Bryan with

The attorneys for the state pre-
scented the return of Sheriff Owen of
Nye county in the matter, setting out
that the defendant, T. B. Hickey had
surrendered himself to the custody of
him on the 7th day of this month at
Tonopah. Also a supplemental affi-
davit made by District Attorney Nc
Carran setting out that the defend
ant, T.. B. Hickey, had voluntarily
surrendered to the officers of Nye
county, that his bondsmen never
withdrew and further were still un-
exonerated, also that such surrender
was apparently for the purpose OF
taking advantage of the writ of ha-
beas corpus, etc. Judge Peck, rep
resenting the defendant, objected to
the McCarran afiidavit, stating that IT
formed no part of the return, and
could only be considered as evidence
and he insisted 1t should be stricken
from the records.
After considerable discussion and
during which time the attorneys on
either side took occasion to indulge
in some personal remarks the attor-
neys for the state finally agreed to
withdraw the McCarran AFFIDAVIT and
to amend so as to cure the resultant
defect. The main authority of the

subject, decided to refrain from
carrying the host in the procession to
be held tomorrow in connection with

ground that it would be better policy

through the streets of London
aroused much opposition from var

PROMINENT Man
COMMITS SUICIDE
(By Associated Press. }

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12.-
Erskine Richardson, secretary of the
Ralston Iron works in this city was
found dead in his room at the St.
Xavier apartment house on Pacific
avenue this evening From hasty
examination 1t is supposed his death
was due to the action of cyanide po-
tassium, taken with suicidal intent.
Richardson has been missing from
his office for two days.
