Another Game Ends In a Row.

For the second time this summer q
spectacular game Of baseball between
the Norfolk team and a team of visit
cision by the umpire when the Sunday
game between Lynch and Norfolk
came to a sudden halt in the first half
of the eighth inning. The score at
that time was to in Norfolks favor
and Umpire A. c. Peters of Norfolk
forfeited the game to Norfolk with
that score.
Umpire Peters called Lynch man
out at the home plate. The Lynch
team said the runner was safe and
withdrew from the field. Manager
Hall of Norfolk, after the storm came
up, agreed to concede the point to the
visitors, in order not to break up the
game, but Lynch declined to accept
the decision and the game ended.
The Fatal Point.
The fatal eighth inning started with
Wilson of Lynch, who batted ball to
shortstop. Memo speared it, throwing
Wilson OUT at first. Terrill singled
terfield and the fielder threw to sec
ond. The second baseman threw to
third and the third baseman returned
the ball to second. Then Terrill start
ed home from third. Second Baseman
Lucinsky threw to Catcher Spellman,
who tagged the runner, according to
Umpire Peters, before the runner
touched the plate. Lynch baked on
the decision and withdrew.
Excitement followed. A mob of hui
manity poured into the diamond and
overspread it. Efforts to induce Lynch
to return to the game were fruitless
One Of the biggest crowds OF the
season-in fact the biggest crowd
since the game with Gregory which
ended In a similar row-was watching

SELLS INSURANCE ON LIFE
Death of Printer i'm Iowa Believed to

Burlington. Iowa. Aug. PA mys-
'tery has developed in connection with
the death recently of Boyd McCully.
a printer of Winterset. Iowa. whose
body was found in Flint creek. north
of Burlington. Just prior to his death
it developed that he had $500, which
he claimed to have secured on the sale
of his life insurance.
There is a suspicion that McCully
sold his insurance under promise 10

out his pledge after having a good

a tendency to make the court partisan
AS the court now stands there is one
democrat on the bench. But some peo-
pie have funny ideas about partisan
ship
A calm view of the situation
would lead the unprecedented to be-
lieve that such election would come
nearer TO having tendency to make
the bench non-partisan than would the
election of republican. Time has
beef when republicanism was ram
pant on the bench--not only of the
supreme court of Illinois, but of the
nation.
The election of Candidate Cooke
the democratic nominee may not
make the court more democratic, but
it will surely make it less republican.
The supreme court should not be
partisan and it will not stand in dan
ger of being so if fair representation
of democracy is sprinkled in with the
republicanism of the bench.
Beyond all this. it is a mighty poor
justice who, while serving on the
bench. recognizes the fact that he is a
republican or democrat. And, for
that very reason. Judge Macf's al
legged assertion that he would accept
the nomination solely TO prevent the
election of a democrat should damn
him in the eyes of every fair man in
the district-provided, of course, that
he made it; and it comes from what
is generally recognized as a good re-
publican source.

If the people are to ehd this travesty

has not made the following pledges;
First will vote for rule which
will provide that all places of patron
age about the capitol shall be drawn
for precisely as the members now draw
for the choice of seats. so far as such
places may not be reasonably put un-
der civil service rules.
Second will vote to strip the
office of speaker of the house of rep

make him just what the speaker of the

should when opportunity affords
against this kind of manipulation of
official power.
The recent tariff outrage against
taxation burdened people after the re-
publican party won in the election
through false pretenses; the pledges
violated and repudiated. coupled with
the usurpation and abuse of power by
