Emerson S Memory.

Emerson was Il notable sufferer from
the vagaries of memory. His biogra-
nher relates that he met him one day
in Boston apparently at loss lot
something and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine" said Emerson
"with a very old and dear friend. l
know where she lives. but | hope she
won't ask me her name And then he
nroceeded to describe her as the
mother Of the wife Of the young man
the tall man-whO speaks so WeH'
and so on. until his interlocutor guess
ed 70 whom he was referring. Even
tho names OF common objects often
failed him completely. On one occa-
sion when he wanted an umbrella he
said. II can't tell its name. but | can
tell It's history. Strangers take II
away." This failing of Emerson led 10
pathetic scene when he attended
Ionpfellow's funeral and remarked as
he cazed at the coffin, He was q
sweet and beautiful soul. but nave
entirely forgotten hts name"

A Spanish War Criticism.

When the Spanish war came upon
Us Commodore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
him 10 preliminary orders. he didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
lev or what the ultimate plan OF cam
paicn would be. The navy department
didn't itself know. Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did. and two or three days
sometimes are vital. But our Wash
Ington officials were only aroused to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by a cablcgram from Dewey
informing them that the British gov
ernor of Hongkong insisted that our
fleet must leave there We were so
dazed by the immediate exigencies or
war that the English government had
TO prod us In the ribs to wake US up.
Then our Washington authorities Is
sued an order and not till then. Ihey
told Dewey to proceed TO the Philip'
pine Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish feet. In other words

Ambition, like a torrent neer looks

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-06-29

ball players are doing even little bet
ter than might have been expected of
them.
They now stand fourth in the race
Cor the Western League pennant and
the leaders of it are not so many points
away from them-somewhere around 90
points to be more exact. This is con-
siderably nearer than hailing distance,
and is much better position than the
teams in fourth place in the major
leagues now find themselves. In the
National League. Cincinnati stands
fourth in the percentage column of
games won and is more than 200 points
behind the leading team, Pittsburg.
Cleveland occupies fourth place in the
American League race and is about 140
points behind Detroit. the leader. 1t is
probably well within the truth to say
that the fans of Cincinnati and Cleve-
land are not going out of their way to
call their baseball players poor ex-
ponents of the national game because
they are occupying fourth place in their
respective leagues. and not nearly as
good a fourth place as is held by the
Topeka team in it's league.
Time, money and the hardest kind OF
clever work is needed to perfect a Win
rIng aggregation of ball tossers in any
league. 1t is not the work of one year,
either. Bas eball promoters in various
cities have been working for many
years with this end in view without
accomplishing it. But some of the
baseball enthusiasts" of Topeka do not
seem to realize this. They appear to
think that the Topeka team on enter
ing faster company than it has ever
travelled in before should have started
out at, or right next door to. the head
of the league and remained there. This
rot being the case, they are sorely dis
gruntled with the work Of Dick Cooley's
squad and are airing around their views
to that effect on all possible occasions.
They ought to be denied the privilege
of going to the ball games. If the To-
peka team finishes at the end of the
season in as good a position as it now
is, it will have done all that could rea-
sonably have been expected of it. And
the team would probably do better If
it were treated with more generous
criticism, which 1t honestly deserves,
in the barber shop. cigar store and
drug store leagues. 1t doesn't help ball
players or any other class of indf-
viduals VINO are doing their best and
trying to do better to have indiscrimin-
ate fault eound with them. And this is
not the treatment that the Topeka ball
players deserve. They are doing very
well and they ought to get a little ap-
plause for it.
