The Voice OF The People.

presslons of the psychology of
the people. They are cross sec
tons of the mental attitude of
the nation. They are democ-
racy's barometers.
Are the recent elections en-
couraging or the reverse? Do
they indicate progress or reac-
ton?
We are accustomed to measure
success by majorities. We per-
sonify politics in man and in so
doing frequently miss the move
ment of the mass of the people.
But it is the movement of the
whole people or of an idea that
is really important. Dishearten-
ing as were the results in Cleve-
land, San Frarcisco and else
where, where the reform candi-
dates were defeated, the move
ment of democracy was decidedly
forward. For Cincinnati reduc-
ed the usual Cox ma jority to
from one-third to one-half< it's
normal size. In Philadelphia the
reformers were united as they
never had been before. In Bos-
ton the people showed rare dis
cernment in the choice of a char
ter, while in all of the cities the
fusion and reform forces mani
tested an understanding of the
nature of the situation and de-
termination in their fight that
assures ultimate if not early vic
tory.
NewYork City is the largest
city in America from which to
expect reform. The task is CO.
1ossa1. The population is fugi-
tive. The forces of privilege
and vice are so closely identified.
For the public service interests
are the forces back of Tammany.
They also control the daily press.
Yet the voters of New York City
did discriminate. VIII e
wisely or unwlse1y remains to be
seen. Certainly Judge Gaynor
has always been a courageous,
forceful and persistent enemy of
the things for which privileges
and Tammany stand. The flu
sion-Hearst forces capt ure d
all Of h other important
Offices, endorsed by the anti
Tammany Democrats and the
Republicans. The awarding of
contracts, the control of the adj
minlstration and of the legal de-
partment of the city have been
wrested from Tammany Hall
and placed in the hands of men
of responsibility and alleged
sympathy with honest and eff
cient administration. Durin g
the next four years, New York
may acquire such a distaste for
Tammany misrule as to save it
from future relapse.
In many ways the Massachu-
sets election was the most sig
nificant of all. The c1ear-cut
issue was the tariff. The result
was unequivocal. Massachusetts,
endorsed the insurgency of the
West and repudiated the action
of its senator's, Lodge and Crane,
by reducing the Republican ma
jority of sixty thousand of a year
ago to eight thousand. The, cot
ton and wooden monopolists of
New England were all powerful
in the Senate, more powerful
than the claims of eight million
of consumers. But they could
not control the electorate.
The Massachusetts election
demonstrates that insurgency is
not sectional thing. It's ma
tiona1. 1t is not confined to the
minority members of the Repub-
lican party in Congress. It is
shared by the Republican voters
in every part of the country.

WAS IT A
TRIPLE PLAY|?.
This e the Big Question that the
Fans Are Trying to solve
to their Salts
faction
SOME SAY IT WASN'T
There Is But One point Where
There Is Room for Discus
sion In Making the
Answer.
SOME SAY IT WASN'T

The great play which was pulled on
by the locals yesterday In their game
with Burlington in which three Of the
visitors were retired ofs evidently 10
need Of name which has not vet
been placed in the baseball diction-
airy. according to some of the fans
around here. The play in particular
was the one on which Lemon, Roman
and Rose were retired in the sec
ond inning of the contest which was
the last one of the series and a de.
tailed account OF which appears In the
story OF the game on the sporting
page.
Now some devotees OF the sport
here who happened to see the play
come forth with the information that
the play should not come urlder the
head OF triple because the men
were not forced to be put out Others
claim that 1t was triple because
three men were retired before the
pitcher again delivered the bali to
the batter. This latter evidence seems
to be the strongest and should bear
out the fact that the play was a triple
and should be called triple Just as
the official scorer has designated it.
Those who stand by the flrst state
ment say that the play should not be
called q triple for the reason that two
OF the men who were put out did not
have to run and by staying on their
bases could have prevented the two
additional outs from being made,
| They also lost sight OF the fact that
| II just the batter and Lemon had been
retired on the throw the play would
not have been called double. This
! is Just where the trouble comes in
the disciples of this statement do not
take into account the literal meaning
! Of the words and just because tae play
yesterday was not a forced one such
as double plays usually are, they say
1t was not what it really is.
II 1t was not a triple what was II.
II some one can furnish another name
which is in the least ways plausible
those who claim that 1t is as desig
mated by the scorer will probably be
willing to give the matter some serf
GUS thought, but as it now stands they
hold and rightfully too, that the play
/ which retired three men is rightfully
called a triple play and should stand
! as such.

How those Indians did field They
fairly made Egan tremble in admira-
ton the way the elusive sphere was
tossed around for triple and double
plays, establishing record which has
yet to be surpassed by any team in
the country. 1t was these speedy plays
and the superb pitching of Bramble
when men were on bases that enabled
the Indians to walk away with the
fourth game of the series in an easy
fashion the score being to 0. The
victory gives the Indians three out OF
the four and brings the two teams
closer together in the great pennant
race in which Keokuk is strong fac
tor for the first time In the history
of the National game in this city.
The Triple Play.
The wonderful triple play which Is
thought to he the first ever pulled off
in the Central Association came early
In the game, the fans being treated to
this surprise in the second inning
Lemon had doubled to left and reach
ed third when Roman gained the in
itial bag on Corriden's error. With
Lemon on third and Roman on first
Rose drove fly to Reschle which the
centerfielder did not have to move far
to get the ball alighting in his hands
just about where he usually plays. Al
ter the catch Lemon dashed for the
plate and big Ed made perfect peg
Lemon being caught several feet.
When Roman saw Reichle throw home
he started for second, but perfect
throw from the hand of PA" Belt
caught him by several feet, Grodnick
taking the throw and retiring the side.
The spectators did not realize the full
consequence of the play until the play
ers were in from the field. The play
retired the side in the face of prob
able scoring. 1t was perfect work all
around that made 1t possible.
BrambIe Goes Well
During the early stages of the game
Bramble and Dove opposed each other
the former doing great work, while
the later was forced to retire In the
seventh inning when ganE sent Spen
Ger in to bat and Hockenberry took
the mound following. Several of the
hits made by Burlington were of a
very scratchv order and were well
scattered throughout many innings.

For the third time in succession

Burg struck out, Bramble handing up
four out drops. the first being a ball
and the other three completely fooling

Burlington ascended the plains I'M
mediately and 1t looked as If the next
would be robbed in the first inning.
