Dear Christmas Toys.

Half our toys have been made in
Germany. That is why the tariff on
these necessaries of childhood has
gone up. In the last ten years we
have imported $50,000.000 worth, un-
iformly of better quality than the 9TH
er $50,00O,000 worth in Santa Claus
pack, because they were largely hand
made. In the next holiday season the
Payne -Aldrich tariff will be held re-
sponsible for the covering of store
counters with the. machine-made
product of the United States. these
to be sold at a higher price than the
curious products of Germany, France,
Austria Hungary, Japan, and Bel
GUM.
1t is too bad. for the German toys
were beautiful. Even when cut out
by machinery they had the benefit of
patient hand labor for their finishing
touches. The wild and Gothic imagin-
alton that decked the European cath
edraIs with their fantastic lacework
and minor ornamentation has worked
for generations in the peasant fam
ilies of the tcymakers to produce
these. creations for the little folk at
Christmastide Can American ingen-
uity vie with these efforts of the inn
agination? We doubt it. We fear the
American toy manufacturers who die
tated the new tariff have forgotten
the children for their selfish gains

State Journal office, operated by skilled
telegraphers, carried the news of the
game as 1t progressed right into the
State Journal office. The news was
posted on the bulletin windows as
fast as it was received.
The efforts of this paper to furnish
the public seemed to be appreciated for
the big crowds gathered to watch the
returns of the first Of the premier base
ball contests of season.
The sentiment of the crowd seemed to
be partial to the Detroit team but the
Pittsburg boys were not without their
ardent admirers and well wishers. Not
only did the State Journal provide this
efficient bulletin service of the game.

The terrible ravages of the infantile

in its path, has reached Shawnee
county at last DR.. Crumbine of the
state board of health received a teIe-
gram this morning stating that a six-
mcnths-old child near Richland was
down with the horribIe disease ana
would live but a short time.
But Shawnee county is not the only
new county to be attacked by infantfle
paralysis. Since last night four new
counties over the state have been visit
ed and in one case a death resulted
from the unknown disease.
A case and a death have lust been
reported from Parkerville in Morris
county of the central part of the state.
cases have also been reported from
clinton in Douglas county, Madison in
GREENWOOD county and Hutchinson in
Reno county. This makes twelve
counties in all over the state of Kansas
that have fallen in the grip of the in

Experiments on Monkeys.
The experiments which have been
practiced on the monkeys at the uni
Vers1ty hospital have proved nothing
so far. The parts of the spinal coll
umn and cord have been fnoculated
into the monkeys but the effects are
still unknown. The process through
which these monkeys pass will be n
very valuable aid to the state board
of health in their campaign against
the spreading of this disease which
has claimed over sixty deaths and
cripples in Kansas the last few weeks
The entire medical profession of
kansas has been startled over these
fatal announcements as they come
one by one and the office of DR.. Crum-
bfne at the state board of health is
besieged with letters of inquiry from
the town and country physicians of
Kansas asking for relief and list of
symptoms of the disease. The whole
matter has proven a puzzle to the
medical world and there is positively
no relief known at this time.
The entire force at the university
hospital under the directions of DIR.
Crumbine is at work on the disease.
Meanwhile it spreads from one county
to another sometimes jumping for 200
miles and again travelling a very short
distance to the next victim.
The epidemic is getting more Sc
rious every day and reports are COM
ing into the state board of health by
wire and letter. 1t is a plague that is
startling the entire country and every
outside help possible is being solicited.
The mothers and fathers of small
children in Kansas are aroused to a
constant dread.

Those who were not lucky nor rich
enough to get reserved seats besieged
the gates which were opened several
hours before the game was scheduled to

A tremendous rush for seats followed
and in a short time all but the re-

to overf1owing. The holders of seat
coupons strolled in more leisurely but

How Pittsburg Won.
Pittsburg, Pa. Oct. 8-The Pittsburg
champions of the National League de-
feated Detroit. the American League
pennant winners in the opening game
of the worlds championship ser:es here
on Forbers' field. by the score of 4 to
1. Detroit's poor fielding, coupled with
timely hitting by Wagner, Gibson and
Clarke accounted for Pittsburg's vic
tory.
Detroit struck fear into the hearts of
the Pitrsburgers by scoring one run in
the opening inning, when Adams was
trifie unsteady, but the young Pitts
burg twirler held the hard hitting
American leaguers safely throughout
the remainder of the battle.

American and National league PEN

played next week, will also be given in
the State Journal the evening of the
same afternoon on which they are

TRIBUTE TO PULLIAM.
Baseball Commission Takes OniciaI
Action Regarding His Memory.

Pittsburg, Pa. Oct s-The Ma
tional commission met here today
but did not take the expected ac-
ton on the reopening of the Pfeffer
case; President Charles w. Murphy:
of the Chicago Nationals. has asked
for the reopening of the case for
which he was fined $500 for alleged
tampering with Pitcher Pfeffer of the
Toronto Eastern league club.
1t is expected that decisive action
will be taken tomorrow. From inti-
nations made by members of the
commission 1t is thought Murphy will
be given ~ hours In which to pay the
$500 or be read out of organized
baseball. The commission decided
how the umpires were to work
through the worlds championship
series and especially cautioned the
players of both teams concerning
rowdyism.
The commission adopted a resolu-
tion in regard to Harry G. Pulliam.
late president of the National league.
They say:
"Organized baseball never had a
more Jealous and devoted sponsor. In
order, therefore, that his memory
may forever remain green, II Is
directed by the National commission
that a memorial card be printed, and
that on the day scheduled for the
first game of the worlds series on
each year. the same be distributed
to all of the eligible players of the
contesting clubs, the official umpires'
scorers and business representatives
as well as to the owners Of the con-
tending clubs and the press; and that

FORGERY OF BASEBALL TICKETS
Pittsburg Police Unearth Wholesale
Roous Admissions

Pittsburg Oct. Slate last night a
rurnor gained ground that there had
been a wholesale forgery of tickets for
the worlds series games and there was
much trouble for ticket brokers, who
have been reaping a harvest.
There is good ground for the belief,
too, that the forgery has been com
mitted-so much so that the police were
closeted at midnight with a great
bundle of alleged forged tickets, COM
pairing them with the known originals.
Last night two well dressed men en-
tered a hotel where the Detroit team is
stopping and offered great bundles of
reserve seat tickets for sale. but so
cheaply that the crowd got suspicious
and mobbed them.

Tommy Leach was the star in the
fielding for the Pirates. as his sensa-
tional catch of Cobb's terrific drive to
deep center with two on bases in the
seventh inning. saved a possible tieing
of the score.
Leach also contributed another spec
tacular bit of work when he caught
Tom Jones' near-Texas Lacquer at the
end of the sixth inning.
