day?
Keokuk is not entered in the state
meet tlis yezr and a little OF the in

high school dope to first obtain an ac-
curate liner of just what schools will

one of the greatest catches of the sea

short drive to right center and Reichle
came in on it with speed but none of

In game replete in sensational hit

Keokuk Indians triumphed in the sec
ond game Of the series with Kewanee.
the wicked hitting on the part Of the
Indians and good break OF luck,
coupled with the wild pitching OF both
Wagner and Coomer giving us the
game by the score OF s to 4.
Sensational fielding stunts that
brought howls of delight from the
spectators were numerous and Reichle
and Hldebrand pulled off several
that made the gentle pastime look
like real battle. The outffelders
took in everything that came their way
and robbed the Kewanee sIuggers OF
several good drives.
The pitchers were due to severe
drubbing, that seemed to be definite
" settled before the wicked melee be
gan. Wagner was accorded fierce
bombardment in the first three rounds,
in the third four hits. including two
three baggers and double and and
three free passes came in rapid sue
cession and he DOTTED his spangles and
retreated to cover under fire, Coomel
taking his place. Honus" was accord
ed the worst trimming he has had fol-
many moon.
Hits Were Short Ones.
The algebraic slants of Bramble
who have been almost invincible this
season, seemed to break to the liking
of the Kewanee strong men and they
stung the ball very forcible. Theil
hits were not as long as those obtained
BY the Indians and did not have the
telling effect With men on bases
Bramble frightened up and a good
break of luck except on one or two oc
casions kept the score to four lone
pnes.
Coomer held Keokuk in fairly goot
style except in the seventh when sew

Sporting Tips.

Corriden hit one to right center in
the third inning that he might have
made a home run. The ball went far
into the field and Corriden reached
third with ease. The outfelders relay
ed the ball in home and the last man
made wild throw. Had Corriden CON
tinued around the circuit he would
easily have counted.

Not De Luxe Edition. But

Col. John /. Martin, sergeant at
arms Of the democratic national con-
vention, lives in st. Louis, where he
built himself a fine house. He thought
it well to have a library, and went
down to book store where he or
dered some books, according to an
apocryphal story.
What kind of booksg' asked the
clerk.
"Why, books" replied the colonel.
Books you know; reading books"
The books came and were installed
in the library Soon after the colonel's
friend, Hugh O'Neill, came up to look
over the place.
Here, Hugh" said the colonel, 'is
my library. Here is where love to get
with book and a pipe and forget the
outside world"
O'Neiil is somewhat of a book sharp.
He took down a book, looked at it
and put it back; took down another,
looked at that and put it back, and re-
peated the process several times.
Then he asked: John, where did you
get these books?"
"Oh," replied Martin, IT picked them
up here and there. Whenever 1 found
one liked bought 1t. It has been the
work Of many years"
But, john commented O'Neill,
isn't it strange that you should have
bought 500 copies Of McGuffeys Fifth

WHOM WILL TAFT KEEF?

The war between Clifford Pinchot and
Secretary Ballinger will be watched
with interest and its outcome awaited
as significant. Pinchot, when he broke
nut in the irrigation congress no doubt
did it with full intent to bring the mat
ter to a crisis. 1t is now up to the
president. He must do something.
Either Pinchot is right and should stay
and Ballinger wrong and fit person
for reprimand or dismissal or the re-
verse is the case. 1t is evident that
Pinchot and Ballinger can not work to-
gether, that they are on opposite sides
OF vital question and that one of them
should go. Whatever action the pres
ident takes will be looked upon as sig
nificant as regards the great policy Of
internal Improvement which had the
high and hearty approval of his pre-
decessor and belongs among the group
of the Roosevelt policies.
Pinchot is representative of the best
in the plan of land reclamation, forest
ny and the various branches of the in
ternal improvement policy. He is clean
and without even the smirch of sus-
picion. He is a practical idealist and
he is considered as essentially honest.
High and low look alike to him. His
business is the making of forests. the
Improvement of waterways, the con-
servation of all our national resources
for the people and not for spectators.
He is the opposite of al, that Mitchell
and Haskell and the land grabbers rep
resent. His conception of the public
domain is Of a domain for the public
and belonging to the public.
SO the statement that either he or
Ballinger must go is significant. Taft
as inheritor of the Roosevelt policies
has scarcely lived up to the expecta-
tons of the extreme Rooseveltians.
Pinchot was inherited along with the
policy of conservation. Balllnger was
found in the road. And thus signid-
canoe will be found in the dismissal of
one and the retention of the other.
1t is to be hoped that Pinchot shall
stay. The .cople are strongly in favor
of the conservation policy and still
more strongly in favor of honest men
who attempt to do their duty by the
public. That Pinchot is one of these
latter no doubt has been or is likely
to be expressed.

like 1t. However 1t comes handy now
adays to pay for eight hours OF the
commonest labor.
: 1t is charged that political activity
makes a woman's feet larger. Don't
know about that but 1T has that effect
on a mans head.
Before 1t adjourned congress should
have passed law extending the chau-
tauqua season.
President Taft is reported to have
teed up both Pinchot and Ballinger and
to be studying as to which he had bet
ter swing thru on.
The national irrigation congress at
tracts almost as much attention now
adays as it's illustrious contemporary
at Washington. l,.

Difficulty of Voting on Tariff.

One more of those Dolliver stories is
related by a man who attended a con-
ference of insurgent senators, at which
there was discussion of how TO vote
on the conference report. Some of
those present We're insistent that they
ought to vote for the measure if it
satisfied the president; others thought
they only ought to support It if it
expect it would That reminded Mr..
Dolliver.
Out on my farm" he said, there's
a big water tank up on a high plat
form. / got the idea that it might be
we'll to see what was getting into the
tank, and SO at much pains and effort
climbed up. AT the top of the ladder
found that it wasn't high enough; but
I got my fingers thru some knotholes
and broken places in the boards and
finally pulled myself up where j could
see.
Il got a fine look into the tank and
saw all the decayed birds and various
kinds of refuse that had got into it. I
could see the bad roof on the house
and the patches that the barn needed
All the tanks and troughs on the place
were visible with all their defects. /
found out just how bad everything
was, and then 1 was ready to come
down. Oh, yes, had the information;
but for the life of me I didn't know
how to get down with it.
And that's the way we are with
the tariff bill. We've climbed UP and
discovered how bad it is, but how are
we to get DOWN."
And with that introduction he pro-
ceeded to explain the extreme diff
culties of voting either Nor or against
the ill.-Washington Times.
