LAUDkTORy WORDS IN BEHALF
Of CONGRESSMAN PO|NOEXTER

the house of representatives, and his
sole reason was because he was per-
sonally opposed to the measure. How
ridiculous, my friends, for this man,
who is nothing more nor less than
member of congress elected from his
district, to individually make himself
effective in opposition to legislative
measure which is supported by three
fourths of the whole body of the house
of which he is only one, but enabled to
do so by virtue of his position as
speaker of the house. No wonder
these able, wise and fair minded men
have risen up and demanded change
in this order of things. No more de-
lightful man can you ever meet than
the Hon. Joseph Cannon of Illinois,
good and loyal friend, bitter enemy,
a man who deserves admiration from
everybody for his remarkable achieve
ments; but when he is willing to sub
nit himself as a sacrifice on the altar
of the republican party's interests re-
CARELESS of the people, then we should
say in the words of the insurgents,
1--WE admire you, Uncle Joe, but we
don't want you for speaker, nor do We
want the rules governing the speakers
power which now prevail and which
you Defend
Believe me, my friends, there is no
faint of traitor in these brave spirits
who stand today for freedom of leg
islative principles from the conditions
surrounding them at Washington.
Mr. Poindexter as representative is
as pure patriot as his relative and

represented the state of Missouri in
ly flayed Senator Quincy of Massa
chusetts when he made threat of Sc
cession on the part Of the New Eng
land states because of the failure of
the senatorial body to enact legislation
which he and his associates of New
England were advocating. No more
brilliant effort and illustration of
patriotism was ever displayed than by
Senator Poindexter on this memorable
occasion, and his efforts were largely
responsible for destroying this incipi
ent secession movement Of that period,
and Milo Poindexter, If he is elected
to the senate by the people of Wash
ington, will be well worthy to con-
tinue the name Of Poindexter in the
United States senate,
I am writing these lines because
have the deepest sympathy and adj
miration for the man who Is sent to
Washington as a republican under the
present party conditions, and who is
willing to risk his whole political ca
reer for the sake of the people whom
he represents and for the causes ne be-
lieves to be right. 1t Is the men who
are willing to dare and to make these
sacrifices, who are the real heroes,
and who will lead US to reform and to
a governm ent that Is truly for the
people, and we know that this gov
eminent is not for the common peo-
pie as 1t is constituted today, and
when you have a man who is as able
as Miles Poindeter, who commands
the respect of even his political foes,
and who has spirit without fear, a
lofty man who can conceive of moth

work. guard that man and care for
him, for he is a treasure and one
of which there are too few in United

A worker for clean politics.

BROKE LEG; ASKS 1899.
Ellensburg Man Sues Northern
Pacific Railroad in Yakima
County Court.

Claiming that Northern Pacific
officials who hired him to run a sta
tionary engine in the shops at Ellens-
burg knew he did not understand
such machinery, Frank Smith of Ell
lensburg has started suit in the SUPER
Tor court of Yakima county for dam
ages of $1,999. He sets forth in his
claim that he was injured because he
did not know how to run the engine
and that the engine was not in fit con-
dition to be operated.
The complaint filed states that
Smith met with an accident on June
20, 1909, while operating the engine.
That it was necessary to use lever
to start the machinery. for the engine
would not go as soon as steam was
turned on, is another allegation.
Smith says that he used the lever,
putting it between the spokes of the
fly wheel, and that when the engine
started suddenly, the lever was
thrown against his leg and broke it.
He sets forth that he was perman-
emily injured by the accident and that
he will not be able to earn his usual
wage of 81 a day because Of the ac-
cident. Attorney Snively represents
Smith and the railroad is represented
by Attorneys Englehart & Rigg
Agreements for arguments have been
filed in the superior court.
Couldn't Reach Verdict.
The jury in the case of John H.
Clarkson against the Northern Pacific
railroad for damages claimed to have
been sustained at Roslyn because of
defective crossing did not reach an
agreement either Friday or Saturday
and Judge Preble decided at 2 o'clock
that there was no prospect of an
agreement. The jury was discharged
The case will be tried later in the
year.

citation says that he believes when the
boy has grown to manhood he will
find that there are excellent dividends
and a regular income from ms invest
ment. The idea of investments for
children has proven an appealing one
in North Yakima and a number Of
parents have already invested in cor
porations for the benefit of their buys
and girls: The construction of build
ings Offers exceptional advantages for
such invest ments.
Robert Swanton is boy who will
long be remembered by the Salvation
Army as one who has proven a liberal
giver to that organization. When the
appeal for assistance at Christmas
time in 1908 was made the boy de-
cided he wanted to give something. He
had a conference with his father and
said that he believed he would like to
give quarter Of beef The idea was
carried out and many families in
North Yakima were benefited by the
good will Of the boy, then only ten
years of age.

BALLINCER ON THE
POLICY OF CONSERVATION
Says That Real Idea Behind Move
Does Not Mean Bottling Up
Resources.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 20
Secretary Ballinger, speaking tonight
before the Conservation club of
Rhode Island and the Economic club
Of Providence, which met together to
hear him give his views on conserva-
ton of natural resources and declared
that conserving them does not mean
bottling them up.
The secretary said he did not be-
lieve that conservation which merely
interests the public, out that he did
believe the public is interested in con
servation which through development
saves them from waste and improper
use.
Does Not Mean Picking.
Some people, | fear declared the
secretary, "have a notion that to con
serve our natural resources we must
pickle them or bottle. them up All
kinds of extreme notions are likely 10
be advanced by those who take an
impractical view or this subject. !
was confronted recently by the sug-
gestion that the government build
homes on the remaining public lands,
stock them and rent them to appli-
cants, and become the landlord of
the public domain.
1T is all right to place reasonable
restraints upon the use of our natural
resources to prevent the mischiefs
which result from monopoly and
greed and extortion but when Won
attempt to regulate a mans private
business or declare how he shall use
his property. so that he can no long
er exercise a reasonable independence
over it, he NAV as well surrender his
business and his property to the state
and let the state operate it.
Not Destroy Incentive.
Individuality and incentive for in
dustry will certainly disappear under
any system of public regulation ana
control that imposes a strictly gov
ernmental guardianship over the
citizen. The American SYSTEM of gov
eminent contemplates the freest pos
sible exercise of individual liberty
consistent with the public good and in
the conservation of our ma
tural resources and the supervision
regulation and control that is proper
to be exercised by federal or state au-
thority, this principle should be CON
recognized.
After all, the question of conser-
walton is a question of practicing with
our resources frugality and economy
Profligacy and wanton waste of our
inheritance in this particular, of
course, is to be restrained whenever
and wherever the power exists and
particularly when the loss affects the
future happiness of mankind
sour nations future in the highest
degree is involved in the perpetuation
of our wealth and the ability of our
people to live in happiness and pros
perity in all generations to come.

Efforts will be made during the week
to secure an adjustment Of the ques-

ROSS X. winner
OF Big STAKES

Columbus, o., Sept. 27.-Ross X, over
track softened by rains Saturday,
gave the King stake of IS, 900 for 2:05
PAGERS a new record yesterday after
noon when he made the first heat in
1903 IA.
BY the conditions of the event six
horses shared in the money division.
Ross X won $4,000 and Bland sixth,
$400. For the best places back of the
winner, there was q mad scramble and
especially in the third heat, when Bran
ham Baughman finished second ahead
Of Merry Widow.
Bervaldo of the Murphy stable made
1t one-two-three in the 2:13 trot, be-
ing able to outbrush Olive r in the
stretch. Major Wellington, the first
choice, was twice third and once last
because of break. In order to handle
the 2:19 trotters 1t was necessary to cut
the event into divisions. The first
started with Creighton as the favorite.
He won the first heat in slow time,
but was second to Admiral Red in the
next heat, when the time dropped to
2:09 IA. A third heat was won easily
by Admiral Red and then the race was
postponed until today, to be resumed
just before the second division Is
taken up.

Crawford in Anvil chorus.

Detroit, Sept. 27.-Some recent criti-
cism of Sam Crawford because of his
falling off in batting and slowing up in
speed brought from that player today
an answer in which he stated that too
much Cobb was the reason the tigers
lost the pennant this year. He said
that he and Bush were not on speak,
ing terms with the Georgian, though
when Cobb first Joined the team
Crawford used to take his part when
other players called him for his
freshness"
He finally became unbearable,"
said Sam.
Crawford criticised the policy of the
club in permitting Cobb to do practi-
cally as he pleased, saying it made
harmony in the ranks impossible.
Sam also blamed the offering Of an
automobile as batting prize for a
share in the tiger slump. at made
Cobb forget team play and look only
for base hits" said Crawford.

Baseball
Will king COLE
STAND STRAIN?

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Has Leonard
Cole, pitcher for the cubs, the nerve
to stand the strain Of the worlds
series?
This question is being asked now
that the championship baseball games
between the Chicago cubs and Phila-
delphia athletes are in view. Before
going any further it can safely be said
that he has-and has lot of it. II
he did not have he would not be one
of the leading twirlers of the National
league in the first year with fast com
pany. His nerve, combined with his
great variety of curves, has made
him wonderful pitcher In the major
league ranks.
Many think Cole Is too young and
inexperienced to stand the strain OF
worlds series contest. 1t is con-
tended that the thoughts of import
ance of the athletics before a crowd of
probably more than 10000 persons
would upset the young finger of the
cub staff. Such a thing is possible
with a pitcher of Coles experience
and one who has never competed in
worlds championship. But if his
performance in league games is any
criterion he should not have any trou-
Bile in doing as well as he has done
before.
Cole was asked if he thought he
would be able to pitch with the cool
ness that he has shown up to date
He replied:
II do not see whore there is any
difference in pitching in a world S
series. OF course, the result is OF
more Importance, but that should not
make any difference with a twirler
If Chance puts me in, as hope he
viii, will do just as I have done in
the past. l have not seen any of the
athletics batters and do not have the
least idea what they hit like. But
that should not make any difference
to a twirler who has the stuff and
nerve"

and his ever faithful trainer, Abdul
the Turk, spent the week at the KAN
sas State fair and started for Kan
sas City to lower Cudahy's record, but
when they got six and three-fourths
miles this side of Lawrence they
stripped the gears of the Magnate and
had to stop for repairs before re-
turning for new start.
The next day Bat and Abdul, with
Fred Langley at the wheel, tried it
again in another Great Smith racer,
but only got fraction over six miles
out of Topeka when they turned tur-
tie, demolishing their auto The way II
came about was some stubborn farm
err keeping the road until their auto
came within a few yards Of the wag-
on, then instead of staying where he
was or turning to the side as he should,
he deliberately turned in front of the
flying automobile. 1T was a case of
demolishing the farm wagon and pos
sibly killing the farmer horses and
perhaps all three in the auto, or turn
into the bank. Langley, who was
driving the Great Smith, chose the
latter. When the automobile hit the
bank at fifty mile an hour clip, all
the occupants were luckily thrown so
far from the wrecked auto no one
was injured, but Great Smith"-the
automobile. 1t turned turtle and was
brought to the factory for repairs.
They are going to try 1t again soon
If the automobile is able to leave the
hospital Bat says they will break
Jack Cudahy's record from Topeka to
Kansas City, or else break every Great
Smith car in the Topeka factory. The
time for the seven miles registered on
the last trial was ten minutes flat.

new NATIONAL
GOLF BODY Formed

New York, Sept. 27.-One of the
matters discussed by golfers from all
parts of the country who met at the
national amateur championship last
week at the Country club at Brool1line
was the movement being engineered in
the west to start national golf asso-
citation. This is the title the project
ors have selected for the new organi-
zation, which is designed as a rival of
the United States Golf association. 1t
is to be a league in which each club
that pays dues shall vote at the an
nual meeting and it is proposed to
hold championships and to frame rules
of play Independent of the United
States Golf association or Of the St.
Andrews rules committee.
The circular requesting an adher-
ence to the new organization has been
sent to every golf union, league or
neighborhood, association in the coun-
try and also to some of the leading
clubs.
