THE FINAL CAME

EXCELLENT GAME.

In clean, fast, snappy game of
baseball yesterday afternoon, the
Pilots took the final game from Cor

pretty a game as has ever been played
on the local diamond. both clubs being
in the game from the jump and fight

nine innings.
Donaldson, of Blackshear. was ON the
mound for the locals. and he pitched
an excellent game and was given
4aultless support. He had the heavy
biting Cordele team at his mercy at
all time. only two measely little sin
giles being secured off his delivery He
also struck out six men and allowed
only one free pass He had perfect
control and, in all, only thirty bats
men faced him. He was encouraged
however, by the excellent support
which the locals gave him.
Cordele also played snappy game.
CC6win was on, the. firing line for the
visitors, and, while the Pilots touched
him up for eight hits, two of which
ere doubles, he kert them wen

For the Women
to Think About
Especial for The Reformer.)

This column has never attempted to
solve the problems that the suffragettes
are trying to help figure out, and it prob
ably never will. If right alone made
might woman would no doubt have the
ballot today At present, however, vari-
Gus other elements besides right enter into
the adjustment of conditions. There are
many questions including some relating TO
property interests that are not likely to be
equitably settled until women take a
hand in making the laws, or men get a
new notion and viewpoint. Under the
present order if a wife is removed from
the home by death the family finances are
undisturbed except for paying the funeral
and other necessary expenses. This may
be right and reasonable. Suppose man
with family of children, bereft of his
wife. were to find that the laws had been
reversed and that his wife had made

gether had accumulated through wears Of

Square-Deal Apostle
A Square-Deal Apostle

Orange county has furnished several
good working models within the last
half century, but she pins her faith to
one in particular and the rest of Yer
mont backs her up in her claim that
she has a simon-pure specimen of the
rue-blue, square-deal patriot. Though
his business Office is at Rutland his
heart is at home-in old Newbury. He
will be SO years old JAN is, and while
he looks the part he doesn't act any
older. Like many other Orange county
patriots, he got into politics, but his
game has always been square one
and today he has soft thing with the
federal government that he can keep
as long as Taft has look-in at Wash
ington.
"Uncle" Horace is an optimist clear
to the wire. No man ever saw his
brow decorated with a frown. Even
when the surgeons decided to relieve
him of one of his feet and section of
his friends sending bouquets before
ace suggested that there was no rea-
son to play him as candidate for
funeral. He asked that instead of
poses his friends buy cigars. He
didn't succumb to the skill of the man
with the hack-saw. His habits have
always been such as go with the build
ing of a rugged constitution. He looks
like a humorist and is, when occasion
offers. He has one fad-Vermont his.
tory. Horace can floor the ordinary
student of Vermont history with the
first five questions. He doesn't make
any noise about it, but he knows as
much, if not more, of the history of
Vermont as any other individual, or
two of them, in the state.
Horace Ward Bailey's counsel may
be relied upon. He ought to have been

litical frame-up and hand out an opin-

Senator Proctor showed his followers
that he had some red blood. There
are missing links in the story, but the
substance of the message conveyed to
Mr.. Bailey, on his bed in the hospital,
was that so long as Redfeld Proctor's
the man didn't live in Vermont who
could succeed his friend while the
friend stayed alive.
Horace has played in various posi-
tions on the political team in his home
town, and his administration as
member of the republican state COM
mittee is remembered, for Mr.. Bailey
contributed momentum to the ma
chine that was unexpected.
Horace is a big man and to watch
him navigate one would never suspect
him to be a hustler. Men who have
sat across the table from him and lis
tened to his work of directing a politi-
cal skirmish, are inclined to pass him
up as a sort of steam roller He can
dictate a hundred letters all on the
same subject, and the last will be as
good as the first. His chirography re-
sembles the trail of a duck. He uses
either a feather duster or the burned
end of a match as a pen. He was
never heard to speak i'll of man, but
he never hesitates to give you his opin-
ion of man. 1t was this character
istic that brought Horace into the light
in 1902. While Mr.. Bailey didn't get
noisy as member of the ter-centen-
NAL outfit he was one of the men who
actually worked.
As an arbitrator Mr. Bailey has
bunch of pretenders chased out on
limb. He can nail crooked statement
as quick as it is handed him, and it's
useless to hand him phony piece of
gilt, for ''EIod" has some sort of sys-
tenn whereby he keeps in touch with
men and matters in Vermont.

"Too many deer" was the slogan that
permitted the doe-killng law. Sportsmen
may therefore consider themselves eXecu-
TONERS, not hunters. A noble trade -Rut-
land Herald.
Executoners let it be then, or more cor
recty, pest exterminators, for argue as
much as you like, neighbour the fact re-
mains that in Windham county previous to
the opening of the present season the deer
were too thick to deserve any other name
than pest. There are scores of progressive
men in this county who are interesting
themselves in modern apple culture, but
for a year or more these men have found
it difficult to decide whether they were
growing apple trees for their own benefit
or deer for the benefit of someone else.
Their experiences the past summer, how
ever, have made them certain that the
two industries cannot go hand in hand,
and preferring fruit culture to livestock
raising they are offering every encourage
ment to deer hunters this week. It's all
very well to wax sentimental over the de-
fenceless doe, to organize rolls of honor and
to urge ''doeless" meat-markets, but those
who indulge in such tactics overlook the
fact that deer in such numbers as they
have fourished in this part of Vermont !

Interest in Fish and Game.

bennington DdnHer.J
Practically 10000 hunters licenses have
been issued in this state already, though
the law has been in force less than two
months This means that about one in
four of the adult male inhabitants of Yer
mont has taken out a license. About
everybody who hunts also fishes and there
are considerable number who fish who do
not hunt. This showing ought to shut up
the grumbling in some quarters that the
state legislature devotes too much time to
fish and game matters. The Banner has
always contended that this grumbling was
born of ignorance and now we have the
facts to prove the contention. As the Ban
ner has repeatedly stated heretofore, fish
and game legislation interests more people
than legislation on any other subject ex-
eept taxation, yet it has been popular for
certain editorial writers and others who
observe public affairs mostly from the in
side of their office, and who know little of
the great world of out of doors, to rail at
the legislature every time it spends an
hour or two in debating fish or game bill.
The demand for licenses this fall should,
and doubtless will, show them the error of
their way.

sweetheart. Some day when Horace
settles down on the old farm in Orange
county and adopts a couple of wide
awake kids the press association will
give him a surprise party. Horace will
never reach the age limit where he
can't prove interesting to his friends.
Though his job of United States mar
shall brings him against some OF the
sad things, Horace smoothes out the
wrinkles and more than one unfortu
nate has had his burden materially
lightened by listening to Bailey's phil
osophy. Though the newspapers have
done their part in exploiting Horace
Bailey, the mans own works are his
best press agent. Bailey's philosophy
is simple Be square. Two words
cover it. Horace Bailey never went
back on man and men don't go back
on him Barring Senator Page and eX-
Governor Proctor, Horace has, prob
ably, wider circle of acquaintance
in Vermont than any other man. The
women folks admire Horace. He would
let them vote. When the suffragettes
are permitted to use ballot in Yer
mont they will vote Bailey into some
position of honor. Horace loves Yer
mont and children. lie keeps scrap

Vermont that Horace doesn't clip and
paste into it. Once in while he does
a little writing stunt in which he bares
his love for Vermont. He looks like a
comedian, but he is a Methodist.
In 1902, when the thirsty ones were
fighting to put crimp into the prohi.

shock absorber when the drys and vets
attempted to hit in clinch. After
that session Horace's fame spread.
