fOLBRE HIT HARD
By The zU zU BOYS
9ame Was Closely Contested, But
Went to Visitors by Score of
Four to Three.

Yesterdays S game, which went to
the Visitors by score of three to
Tour, was about the most varied and
mixed exhibition put upon the dia-
mond In many moons. There were
star plays, and rank errors; home
runs and strike-outs; good headwork
and poor headwork, rain and sun
shine--in fact. every element that
could possibly enter into a game was
present on this fatal afternoon: and
though the local boys lost they did
not give up until the last of the
ninth, and the game was snappy and
g1ngery throughout In some re-
spects it was pitchers battle, Fol-
bre opposing McManus, and it must
be admitted that the visiting gentle
man got rather the better of the ar
gument. He allowed only five scat
tered hits, while Folbre was touched
Tor five singles. two doubles and
home run. Eight hits is not so bad,
but four of them came in one inning
and this is where the game was lost
and won.
Chastant, first man up for Yazoo
City, started the game off with a
rush. He caught good one squarely
on the nose and lifted it over the left
field fence; and before the ball came
back Mr.. Chastant had leisurely
circled the bases and scored one.
Henry, next man up, hit safe, and
things began to look like it was all
over, but Folbre pulled himself to-
gether and the side was retired. In
the locals half of the first, Tutwiler
hit corker to right after Gondolfi
and Hall had gone out, but the best
Swan could do was to tap one to
short.
Nothing doing then until the third,
when the Yellow Piners missed their
best opportunity to score. After
Johnson flew out to right, rain
stopped the game several minutes,
and when play was resumed the ball
was wet and McManus' arm was cold.
Folbre, next up hit clean one to
center and Gondolfi followed with a
two-bagger to left-center,
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-20

Johnson's return of Henry's hit in
the fifth was one of the neatest plays
of the game. Sterling was on second
and Henry hit one to left that Sterling
would have scored on ninety-nine
times out of a hundred, but the little
keeper of left garden fielded it with
one hand and shot it in so fast that
Sterling was afraid to venture away
from third. When the side was re-
tired he was still there.
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-20

Burton's hit to center started the
fireworks in the sixth, but with fast
fielding it would never have been a
hit. 1t was well up in the air and
Bagby had plenty of time to get un-
der it, but did not take advantage of
the opportunity. Bagby cannot be
scored an error, but it was mighty
slow fielding, and had he caught the
ball the result might have been differ
ent; for in all probability Gondolf
then would have fielded Oglesby's
grounder to first, instead of fumblng
it in trying to handle it to third.
Slowness and loafing is often more
disastrous than accredited errors.
Bagby is usually mighty reliable,
however, and as old Rip would say,
this one time won't count"

Marine GiantS.

Close on the heels of the request of
Secretary Meyer for a 32,000-ton bat
tleship comes the announcement that
Germany proposes to build a monster
liner of nearly $4,000 tons, The age
of marine giants is apparently on, and
the Olympic and Titanic. the record
holding leviathans or our modern
ocean going vessels, are too soon to be
eclipsed. Although the exact dimeA-
sions of the German cOlossous have
not been given out, the tonnage would
indicate a length of at least 200 feet,
little more than one-sixth Of mile.
The prediction that the twentieth cen
tury would see vessels 1900 feet in
length may yet prove true.
The dimensions of modern passen-
ger and freight vessels indicate that
battleships will also take on gigantic
proportions In the near future. In
the American navy yards two $4,000
ton battleships are under construction,
two more Of $4,000 tons each have
practically Deen dbSuTcu ana Ine great
32, ,O0O-ton fighter Is at least a posi-
bility within the next few years. The
trend OF shipbuilding toward larger
construction is so marked that the
locks OF the Panama canal have been
increased In size sufficiently to allow
passage to vessels of 110 feet beam,
the present length of beam being less
than ninety feet,
While the practicability of such
monster vessels, both for commercial
and naval purposes, have been ques-
toned, our present vessels are not
so much smaller than those proposed
and the suggestion of still larger ships
rests on the success of those now in
use. The expense II increasing the
size of these monsters, however, car
not be entirely confined to the cost Of
the battleships themselves, for deeper
harbors will be necessary as well al
larger docks and wharves. Yet
whether we deplore II or approve, thu
trend Of the times is certainly in the
direction of bigger and bigger ocear

Rhode Island six and one-half times as
many. Maine had twice as many
homicides as Vermont and Rhode Is
land three times as many. Compared
with Connecticut, Maine had more
than twice as many and Rhode Island
more than three times as many.
The only possible reason for rein
stating the death penalty for murder
would be the hope that It would ef-
fectuslly reduce prevalence of the
crime. Comparisons, although proving
nothing, often deceptive, seem to prove
that Maine and Rhode Island have been
the victims Of their leniency. Iowa
and Colorado have returned to the
death penalty with satisfactory re-
suits, after having once abolished It..
There is some sentiment in the little
state against the bill, but the disposi-
ton is said to be to give first place in
the consideration of this measure to
the protection of life from outlaws Of
society.

The Grand Jury Report.

The grand jury called by the district
court has made its report and has been
discharged after an Industrious session
of several weeks, and the best evidence
that Omaha is a reasonably orderly
city, with no very noisome cesspools
of iniquity or deep-seated corruption
in government, lies in the fact that
only a few indictments have been re-
turned and all of those for ordinary
offenses which could Just as easily
have been prosecuted at their own in
itiative by the city prosecutor or the
county attorney.
The grand jury report goes into
some detail on several subjects, on
which advice is offered, with sugges-
tions Of improvement of existing con-
ditions. 1t is suggested, for example,
that things in the city engineers office
have not been just right and should be
improved, but still nothing seems to
have been found to warrant true bill
against anybody. The police force is
admonished, moreover, to be more Wig
liant in suppressing unlicensed liquor
selling, immoral hotels, vulgar theatri-
cal shows and demoralizing dance
halls-but even here no evidence
seems to have been produced before
the grand jury justifying more than
an expression Of presumption.
The visits of tho grand iurv to the
various county institutions seem to
have evoked the usual absence Of com
plant and elected the customary
bouquet-throwing to the managements,
who were doubtless fairly we'll pre-.
pared in advance to receive the Wis
itors, with everything looking spick
and span. Even the deputy state labor
commissioner at Lincoln comes In for
small nosegay and a recommenda-
ton to the legislature that he be given
more money to spend to look where
more fire escapes ought to be and
where youngsters barred from child
labor ought not to be. -
All of which proves that the grand
jury is a good-thing once in while t.
enable a community to let off steam
and puncture gas bags full of ugly ru
mors which the prosecuting officers ar,
unable to nail down, and which wheI
brought into the grand jury room
Eprove to be as elusive as the proverb
ial flea.

Death Penalty in Rhode Island.

A bill calling for the re-estsblish-
ment OF the death penalty in Rhode
Island is before the legislature of that
state and II public utterances indicate
the prevailing sentiment It will be-
come a law. Rhode Island abolished
capital punishment in 1859. but since
the increase Of homicide in the state.
has made its re-establishment seem
advisable.
Maine and Rhode Island are the only
New England states, which have abol-
ished the death penalty, and compare
tive satisfies indicate that they have
both been great sufferers in conse-
Quenee. The only states with which it
would be fair to compare them are the
other four in New England. During
the year ending May 81. 1900. accord
ing to the last national census. Maine
had. in proportion to population. al
most twice as many homicides as
Massachusetts,. which retains the death
penalty. Rhode Island, during that
same year, had almost two and a half
times az many. proportionately. as
Massachusetts. Compared similarly
with New Hampshire. which retains
the penalty. Maine had four and one

National events have developed a
condition Of affairs which completely
skaters the political tradition that our
chief executive Is further removed
from the people than the lawmaking
body. Between the administrations of
Washington and Taft wide difference
has developed. Washington was set
apart from the people as far as possi-
Bile that he might get the general per
spective of the affairs of the entire
nation. He dealt with affairs Of the
states almost as an arbitrator and was
hedged in from the people by the &C
cepted Interpretation Of the functions
OF his office. But now the tendency
is quite the opposite. Roosevelt and
Taft have been primarily presidents of
the peole looking to the people, popu-
lar sentiment and interests to guide
their judgment and they have held
themselves responsible to the whole
people for their actions.
The constitution Of the United States
provides that in the election of the
president the popular will shall only
be indirectly effective. The electoral
college, precautionary institution,
was established to stand between the
people and the presidency, with the
design and intent to remove the office
from the shifting tide Of public senti-
ment and prejudice. The senators
we're to represent the states of the
union as such and It was left to the
congressmen to give the people their
most direct voice in governmental af-
fairs Although our forefathers
wrought wisely and well, they over
looked the extent to which our varied
and diversified interests would separ-
ate the different sections. 1t has de-
veloped that senators are, as a rule,
influenced by sectional and congress
men by district interests, without
power to rise above their own consti-
tuencies to act for the whole people.
In this evolution the presidency has
become the one office of the whole
people. '.t .--...
The American people have not
argued this out and accepted it as a
last resort, but have just naturally
fallen into the habit of looking to the
president for leadership. Washington
never took trip over the country tC
get acquainted with the people. Not
until Polk's administration was this
done and even then 1t was on a small
scale. But recently our presidents
have Travelled the country over to keeI
in touch with the people and nationa
interests. AS result the presidency
is primarily the peoples direct repre-
sentative office and has gained i'm
measurably in consequent Importance

BOOSTING FREIGHT RATES.
Proposed Raise on Meat Rates from
Missouri River.
ST. Paul Pioneer-Press.

st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
The packers have protested 70 the Inter
state Commerce commission against the
proposed increase but that body has no
authority to act until after the rates are in
force. This raises anew the discussion Of
tho suggestion so often made by the oom-
mission that It be authorized IN investigate
proposed rate changes and decide as to
their reasonableness before they are put
into effect. Such provision Is made In the
bill now pending in congress, but the rail-
road influence is strong against it, just as
1t has been In former sessions, The rail-
roads contend that 1t would be unfair to
grant this power to the commission. as
pending the inquiry, they would lose much
revenue In the event OF the increased rates
being sustained by the commission.
The argument is not wholly convincing in
view OF the fact that the shippers lose
much money, under the present plan, when
the rates are not sustained by the commits
sion. True, the shippers have a recourse
In being permitted to collect the overplus
but this is usually long, tedious process
and the burden Of 1t is borne by the ship
per.
The question has been discussed in every
report Of the commission for years. The
commission contends that nothing can be
more fallacious than to assume that dam
ages are in most instances q remedy for
the extortion of an unreasonable rate
"Where a given rate has been In effect for
years." reads one report of the commission,
"a strong presumption Of its reasonable
ness arises and there is no hardship In CIV
ing this commission authority. in it's sound
discretion, to require a continuance OF that
rate until opportunity has been offered to
investigate the proposed advance" This
argument fits the present case. The exist
ing rates have been in effect for a number
Of years, and the contention of the COM
mission that they should not be advanced
without an inquiry into the reasonableness
of the proposed new rate appears wholly
sound.
I ie consumer and the small shipper are
the sufferers In all such cases of advanced
rates. Tho packers promptly Will, In the
present case, shift the burden to the con-
sumer. II the rate Is declared reasonable
the consumer will still share the Increase
II 1t Is declared unreasonable, the pack
ers will recover from the railroads for the
excess but there Is no prospect that they
win return any Of their recovered money
to the consumers. The notice of the pro-
posed advance in freight rates should have
the effect Of squirting congress to amend
the Interstate Commerce commission law in
accordance with the recommendations of
the president and the demands Of the ship
pers and consumers.

TAFT's PATIENCE WITH P1NCHoT
Sentiments of Good VIII Expressed
in a Letter.


In a Letter.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
Every citizen who wants to know the
basic facts regarding the presidents con-
servation policy and his personal attitude
toward former Chief Forester clifford Pin
ehot, should carefully read the letter which
Mr.. Taft addressed to Pinchot last Septem-
Der. This mlsslve has just been made pub
lie In the proceedings before the Balllpger
investigating committee. Il seems lncredi-
BILE that any man who desires to reach a
fair conclusion upon a question which is
engaging so much popular interest can
read It without having the impression
stamped on his mind that the course Of the
executive in this matter has been marked
both by an answering purpose to protect
the public welfare and by the utmost prac-
ticable consideration for Pinchot himself.
Its tone throughout Is characterized by
kindly sentiment toward the chief forester
combined with the fullest appreciation OF
his past services in promoting the cause of
conservation. Indeed Mr. Taft goes so far
as to say Il should consider It one OF the
greatest losses my administration could
sustain If you were to leave it." Reitsr-
ating his firm intention to do all that can
w NSiAo "ANAlAAA NAS law W plNnEANh tue hd-
tional resources from spoliation the presi-
dent patiently points out to his discon-
tented subordinate that Pinchot's continu-
ance in backing up improved charges and
assailing the secretary OF the interior while
he himself is holding an official position is
most demoralzing TO government discipline
and efficiency. Declaring that he proposes
that justice shall be done, the chief magis-
trate puts his communication to the for
ester in the form OF a request that the har-
assing tactics followed by Plnchot shall
cease, rather than in the form OF an I'm
perative order.
Whatever the facts may be as to Seore-
tary Ballinger's course It is evident that
the president sincerely wished to keep Pin
chot In the public service. Not until every
resource Of logic and reason was exhausted
| In the vain effort to maintain necessary
discipline did he consent TO his elimination
| from an office In which the forester had
persstently attempted 10 defy his superiors
and to attack Mr. Taft's own veracity and
intelligence in a manner which could no
longer be tolerated.
