MONDAYS
SCOUTS ARE HOT
on TRAIL Of
SLUCCERS

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 1S.-The
virtue in the Judgment Of a scout
is shown to some extent by the rec
ords of the men picked from the
Northwestern league by National
and American league teams and
bought for cash on the recommen-
cations of the advance men. There
were seven such, as follows: Ma
gee. Seattle, first baseman. sold to
st. Louis Americans; Campbell,
Aberdeen, outfielder. sold to Pitts
burg: Gregg, Spokane, pitcher, to
Cleveland; Holm, Spokane, pitcher.
to Chicago White Sox; Pernoll,
Aberdeen, Litcher, to Detroit; Kin
sella, Portland, pitcher, to st. Louis
Americans. AID Gilligan, VancoC-
yer. pitcher, to st. Louis Americans.
This takes no account of drfast or
menturned back.
Magee fielder tenth best out OF
13 first basemen, having only a
1878 average in $50 games. He
batted eleventh in the league, how
ever. with 1862. Campbell out of
"a outfielders was thirtieth in field
ing. having only 1876 to his credit.
He was sixth in the league in bat
ting. however, with .277, and led
the league baseruners with 81 sto-
len sacks. OF the pitchers GILL
gan batted .232 and Pernoll .225, all
Of which goes to show that a scout
takes note principally of the slug
cling propensities of the men out
side of the pitchers box, and even
pays some attention to it on the
rubber.

Spokane?
Several days ago the matter was
discussed by Joe Coin and Bob
Brown, the local sporting men, but
they were on the opinion at that
time that the Marathoners would
go to San Francisco Immediately
and that the season would be too
far advanced here to warrant the
enormous expense of bringing the
runners to this city.
The local promoters have made
no definite arrangements, but are
still negotiating with the Mara

36-hole round of the tourney.
Hughes showed a complete reversal

This is the first cup of conse-
quence ever won by Mr.. Hughes
The cup this year was presented to

lows at the cos Of great personal suf-
fering. The hero modestly insisted in
the midst of his bodily torture that
he had but done his duty, and that was
true, but how many would have fled
their duty in the face Of such a pre-
dicament?
The Navy Departments action in
marking this obscure devotee to duty
as a distinguished hero is a striking
example of the fact that we all love
to honor the man who stands firm and
faces down every ugly crisis that sud
denly rears its head. This is the prin-
ciple that applies to every walk of
life. Only a few days ago President
Schurman said to the students at Cor
nell: The real hero in university life
is the man who conscientiously does his
university work" Substitute the word
daily for university, and you have a
constant maxim for all mankind.

Saving the Babies,

Nothing is more pathetic than the
wan face of a sick baby OF the flutter
of a spray of white at the doorknob.
Thanks to the progressiveness of
modern science, the visitation of the
.ghostly white hearse is no longer the
frequent menace of the home and in
stead the bulk of the children of pro-
gressive cities now beam in that con-
slant state of "chubbiness" which
President Taft a%pplauded a few days
ago.
The most shining work in reducing
infant mortality has been accomplished
in those cities which early embarked
in school and home medical inspection,
and in this respect New York has
shown the rest of the country the way.
On the heels of the fine results
achieved in that city by close work in
the public schools comes the estab-
lishment of a bureau of child hygiene
which authorities regard as one of the
most important steps eve taken in
preventive medicine. This bureau I'M
dertakes to rouse parents 10 consent
to medical or surgical treatment in
the cases OF the defective children dis
covered through the tests Of the bu-
reau of municipal research. The sys-
tenn has been in vogue long enough to
report absolute results in 80 per cent
OF the cases approached, with a great
improvement in health. The bureau
also follows up a transcript of all births
reported and by advice and aid to
mothers is embarked on the saving OF
the lives of thousands of babies who
ordinarily would die before the age
of two years.
1t has been a deplorable fact that
under the pressure Of household cares
in many city homes the health of the
child has been allowed to take care OF
itself until too late for recovery. And
in the restoration to the infant Of his
birthright of sound health, the scien-
fists of the modern city have knighted
themselves among the great benefac-
tors of the race.

INTENT OF THE SPEECH.
Wrong Construction Placed on Parts
of the Winona Address.
Mlnneapolls journal.

No u%tterances of a public man in recent
times has been more persistently misunder-
stood than the presidents address at
Winona. 1t has frequently been held an at
tempt to read the insurgents who voted
against the tariff bill out OF the republican
party. Nothing Of the kind is to be found
in the speech itself. The president said:
Il am not here to ~criticise those repub-
llcGn members and senators whose views
on the tariff were so strong and intense
that they believed it their duty to vote
against the party on the tariff bill. 1t is
a question for each man to determine for
himself. The question is whether he shall
help to maintain the party solidarity for
accomplishing its chief purpose, or whether
the departure from principle in the bill as
he regards it is so extreme that he must
In conscience abandon the party"
This is the so-called reading-out passage.
The president VAS talking about the alleged
departures from principle in the tariff bill.
He did not read anybody out or in. He
simply stated that the insurgents had made
it a matter of conscience, and he could no.;
criticize any man for making important
measures matters Of conscience. Later the
president said:
Il am glad to see that a number Of those
who thought it their duty to vote against
the bill, insist that they are stin repub-
Leans and intend to carry on their battle
for hover duties and a lower revision within
the party lines. That is their right and, in
their view Of things, their duty"
How, II the president had read them out
Of the party, could he recognize their right
to act within the party and their duty to
vote against the bill? II they were put out
of the party, they were not in it.. II they
were in IL by the presidents own admis-
sioIA he certainly could not have said that
thO were out.

lie talks frankly. Certainly, President
Taft cannot nave meant that Minnesota
ought TO change it's course on the tariff
question, for that would be asking too
much. The people Of the northwest are
intelligent and they aim to be fair. They
are registering a protest against a tariff
policy that simply gives large profits to
a few at the expense Of the consumer.

Day Heroism.

Not all Of the heroes of life are those
periodically labeled by the Carnegie
commission, nor is it necessary Il do
something spectacular or melodrama-
tic TO win recognition from judges of
manly or womanly conduct. Promptly
and fearlessly meeting the unexpected
crisis in the days affairs is the test
whether one is fit to shine, and so
cold-blooded a critic as Uncle Sam APP
plies that principle in distributing his
applause for good conduct.
The Navy Department has awarded
to John King, a humble water tender,
a medal Of honor and a gratuity for
what it terms extraordinary heroism.
King was at his post when a boiler
tube on the scout cruiser, Salem, blew
out. forcing steam, gas n flame
from the furnace into the fireroom
among the men. King was u of the
immediate danger zone and could read
lily have escaped harm, but instead he

What Ak-Sar-Ren Offers.

The entertainment program pro-
vided for Ak-Sar-Ben week is fully up
to the standard which has been set
heretofore, and now that the street car
strike is over there Is no good reason
why the people from all the surround
ing country, for whom it is especially
prepared, should not come in and
share in it equally with the home folks
who live here.
Ak-Sar-Ben has achieved the repu-
tation of making each succeeding
demonstration excel the one hat has
gone before, and while retaining the
s~ubstantials to bring in novelties that
make the old ever new Unprecedented
observers who have seen the carnival
displays in various parts of the coun-
try, the Mardi Gras in New Orleans,
the Yelled Prophets in st. Louis, the
Priests of Pallas in Kansas City and
the floral parades in Los Angeles, are
practically unanimous in their verdict
that, all in all, Ak-Sar-Ben at Omaha
ranks with the best, and in many re-
spects is superior to any one of them.
Ak-Sar-Ben brings to the people of
Omaha and the adjacent country a
spectacular exhibition, coupled with
wholesome amusement, that would
we'll repay coming thousands of miles
to see. 1t remains for those who have
this great treat brought almost to
their very doors to take full advantage
of the opportunity. -

Publication Pie.

The corporation tax law enacted by
the late democratic legislature pro-
vides, among other things, that the list
of delinquent corporations failing to
respond to the invitation to come
across should be given publicity by
newspaper advertisement, for which
purpose the legislature thoughtfully
appropriated $1,000, and with a DELHI
crate design to have this prize awarded
on a truly nonpartisan basis left the
designation Of the two newspapers to
the democratic governor.
In due course of time the delinquent
list was compiled and put into type,
making in the neighborhood of four
pages, and the momentous hour ar
rived for the governor to cut the pie,
whereas, 10, and behold, the favorites
proved to be the local democratic or
gan in Omaha and a professed repub-
lican paper at Lincoln.
1t may be imagined that the law re-
quired the publication to be in one of
the daily papers printed at the state
capital, and there being no democratic
daily that the governor was forced to
fall back on a paper of republican per-
suasion. But such is not the case.
The law devolves upon the secretary
of state the preparation of the list, in
the form of a proclamation, after
which he shall Immediately cause a
copy of said proclamation to be pub
lished in one issue of two daily news
papers to be selected by the governor"
Naturally, in distributing pie to the
faithful the democratic governor is
supposed to consider all the circum-
stances. Past service, Of course, can
not outweigh promises of future use
f%ulness. There are a half dozen dem
ocratic dailies scattered throughout
the state which have been doing yeo-
man service for the party in season
and out Of season, and which doubtless
harbored the hallucinstion that they
should have preference over some
newly converted near-democratic
newspaper. Why, for example, should
the Fremont Herald not have prior
rights over the Lincoln Star? Why
should the South Omaha Democrat,
whose editor sacrificed three months
of his time last winter as state senator
to help put this law through, AXE a
back seat while the rewards are
handed over to the enemy? Why
should democratic dailies like the
Plattsmouth Journal, the Nebraska
City News and the Hastings Repub-
lican be ~relegated to the mourner's
bench? Why should the Lincoln Star,
protesting to be republican, be Sc
leeted by the democratic governor as
beneficiary of half the appropriation
made to reward democratic newspa-
pers? Perhaps some Of the demo-
cratic dailies who were left out in the
cold car furnish the answer.
