Hammond Redeems Himself.

Hammond started things going In the
last inning by reaching first on an erEor
TO 0 against Salt Lake. over 1000
people rose up in their seats and COM
mcnced TO shout for Salt Lake. Head
came up and singled along the third
base line. The crowd then fairly shouted
itself hoarse. Hats. canes and sun
shades were thrown in the air and n
near third base. Umpire Carney stopped
the game and sent the crowd back but
the fans kept up a continual howl.
Pitcher Thomas seemed a trifle uneasy.
Lussi came to the bat and lie was given
great ovation. He batted a hard one
to Smith at short, who accepted throw
ing Head out at second and doubling
up ON Lussi on first Hammond still
remained on third. When Whaling came
to the bat there were two men out.
The crowd yelled for him to hit the ball,
and ne responded with a fast single be-
tween third and short. scoring Ham
mond. Flick was then given n pass, and
1t looked like a tie. but Murray cheated
Corbin out of hit in centerfield by
over, winding up in one Of the most SEN
satonal finishes OF the season.
Annis pitched a fine game, but was UP
against a hard proposition. The balloon
ascension started in the fourth inning.
Irby placed pretty single just TO the
left of first base. uarmuth went to
first on an error by Annls. who made
a wild throw TO second TO catch 1rby.
The ball was booted into centerfield and
lrby had reached third on the error.
Hammond picked up the bah and m

field with the sphere glued to his nit

a smile and came home scoring the first

there were too many relays to over

The Pole.

Chicago Tribune: Unless the cables
lie. unless Cook has been the victim
OF polar madness, unless he has per-
petrated upon the world the biggest
canard of generation, the search
for the north pole has been ended in
a manner as dramatic as heroic. Al
most alone, unsupported by any great
scientific association, his departure
unnoticed and unapplauded. two years
ago F. A. Cook entered the awful ar
tic wastes. Unsought and unexpected,
he has returned to rekindle the spirit
of adventure which civilization after
5000 years cannot destroy.
No captain OF industry, no financier,
no famous scholar gave or found the
fund which sent him on the search
which has tempted men to death and
disaster since the days of Davis and
Baffin, Of Ross and Franklin, OF
Hoelmskerc and Hudson His little
expedition was fitted out by plain
Jack Bradley, a Chicago gambler, a
kindred spirit. who when he was not
presiding over the roulette and faro
tables of Palm Beach travelled
through the empty places OF the earth
in the pursuit of game and adventure.
1t will be weeks before the world
can learn the story OF the first sue
cessful struggle for the pole. Whether
the scientific results will be great or
nil We cannot tell. But in world of
trusts and bacteria, OF alienists and
electricity, OF socialism and scientific
tariffs, we have confirmed Tor us our
cherished faith-romance and adven-
ture and ha, oism still live.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY, AGAIN.

Further testimony against the d.
rect primary is furnished by MT.
Charles Wooster, of Nebraska, who
tells in unequivocating language of It's
practical effects in that state. The
substance of Mr.. Woostcr's lndict-
ment is contained in the following
paragraph:
THE plain fact is that our primary
laws have been an utter and absolute
failure from the first. The theory
of primary nominations is all right
enough, but in actual practice the pri-
mary has proven to be no earthly
good. Not one solitary valid point
can be urged in its favor, while all
sorts of valid objections can be ar
gued against it. 1t was an experiment
that ought not to have bee.- made.
Nobody but few theorists are in
favor Of it, and the next legislature
should wipe out every syllable of the
primary laws, from first to last. That
would undoubtedly be done except
that neither political party dare go
on record in the matter. Both parties
are opposed to it-equally opposed
and yet neither dare say so through
fear that the other might take advan-
age of it to their hurt Politicians
are towards and are always in
fiuenced from considerations of policy
rather than by regard for right, truth
and Justice"
Nebraska newspapers are equally
outspoken against the arrangement
which they agree in denouncing as
an incentive to fraud and destructive
OF responsible party government. The
general verdict is that the direct pri-
mary system is infinitely worse than
the convention plan which it dis
placed.

Joe. chenowesh.

Keosauqua Democrat: Mr.. J.. H. D.
Chenowth of Keokuk, the veteran
railway mail postal clerk between
Keokuk and Des Moines. retired from
the service Friday, the 27th. Mr..
Chenoweth was the Oldest postal clerk
N point OF service IN Iowa, and per-
haps in the United States. having
served 35 years to day. He tender
ed his resignation several months ago
to take effect on the 35th anniversary
o. his entrance to the service. He
will spend the remainder OF his days
in retirement and ease. Mr.. Cheno-
weth has ridden over a million miles
On the railway, and although his car
had been thrown from the track
several times. he never was In q
serious wreck. Not a postmaster nor
postal official OF any kind is now
In the service when he entered it. Mr..
Chenoweth was not only good pos
tai clerk, but he was pleasant gen.
tseman personally, and was esteemed
highly by all who became acquainted
with him, including the writer during
his postoflice inspectorship days. We
hope his retirement may be long Sc.
rene and happy one.

OF 1909 are so generous in their pro-
portions that noticeable decline in
the cost Of living may be expected.
while the farmer will make W in

continue to be as good customer as
heretofore.
Two years ago the troubles of the
railroads were various and threaten
ing. The costs of operation had been
rapidly increasing and hostile legisla-
ton was both reducing their revenues
and impairing their credit. Their
earnings were severely affected dur
ing the first months following the
panic, due to the disposition through
out the business world to reduce
stocks of merchandise and curtail
operations. At the present time, 1t is
declared, railway traffic on the prin-
cipal lines out of Chicago is practical
ly normal. One Of the leading trunk
lines to the west reports merchandise

Building operations throughout the
country are now on an unprecedented

good times are here.

PROSPERITY IN SIGHT.

The Commercial National Bank of
Chicago, OF which Hon. George E. Rob.
erts, formerly of this state and for
many years director of the mint. is
president, has just issued in pamphlet
form its ninth annual report of gen.
eral business conditions as thew exist.
as seen by 5000 bankers and business
men to whom it addressed letters of
inquiry. The report makes over 100
pages OF print and is highly encourag-
Ing throughout. Its general tone is
clearly and accurately reflected in the
following extract:
1t is no longer necessary to speak
in cautious terms of faint and scatter
ed signs OF industrial revival The
evidence of improving conditions is
too abundant and conclusive to be
gainsaid. The movement has devel-
oped so rapidly during the last three
months, and now includes SO many
lines and has gained such momentum
that, with fundamental conditions all
favorable, relapse is no longer to be
feared. The industries of modern
society are SO inter-dependent that
starting machinery from state of in.
action is like starting an Lighthouse
team: it is difficult at first to get
them pulling together, but when they
have gained momentum even the lag
ging members are swept into line and
are soon keeping step and pulling
their share of the load.
All of the signs that denote rising
prosperity and all the conditions prec-
edent are at hand. The wreckage
of the panic has been cleared away:
the apprehensions which it aroused
have disappeared, and our people are
facing the future with an optimism
and courage born of knowledge of the
wonderful resources of this country.
Shelves are bare of surplus goods and
the country has grown up to its facil-
tiles and equipment. At this oppor-
tune time to inaugurate a new era of
prosperity comes the best all-rouud
crop ever produced in this country"
Stress is laid on the value of such
a crop at this juncture, for all lines of
business will feel its stimulating in
fuence and all classes will share in
its benefits. The farming class has
enjoyed a remarkable period of pros
perity, covering the last eleven years,
it is noted and its buying power has
been the great steadying factor in the
industrial situation since the late de-
preston began. But the prices of all
farm products, which have reached in
recent months the highest general
level ever known, have been oppres-
sive to the consumer and the source
of much discomfort. The food crops

A representative of the surgeon

has arrived at Peoria to make pro-

light on the cause of the disease.

practically all the cases reported to
date are among the insane. There is
no known connection between insan-
isy and pellagra, and it is not believed
that the insane are more liable to con-
tract the disease than persons of
sound mind. 1t may be that the diet
in the hospitals is at fault or that pos
sibly the disease is communicable.

The Pennington Herald has been
looking up the history of that place
and finds there was a time when it
was the second largest town in Iowa,
with population in excess of that of
Keokuk and Burlington. In 1887 it
was the county seat of Van Buren,
county, and that year the first barge
came down the Des Moines river
loaded with merchandise. Edwin
Manning was in charge. Indians were
very much in evidence in those days
and wild animals were numerous. In
1850, according to Colton's map, Van
Buren, county had population of IT,
600 and ranked fret in size in the
state. There were two mills at Farm
ington at that time, to which farmers
came from radius Of sixty-f1ve miles.
These mills and the Meek Bros mill
at Bonaparte were the only mills on
the river in pioneer times.

W. T. Buchanan recently wrote from
California that many Iowans have gone
to that state to avoid or evade the
tax ferret. The Fairfield Ledger, not
ing this. declares that the tax ferret
law is not the only bit of recent leg
islation which is driving people and
capital from Iowa. Many other stat
utes which Iowa legislatures have en-
acted lately seem to be a direct blow
at capital and the legitimate use of it.
Our legislators have gone mad in their
pursuit of the rich man and the cor
