eyes that see, has the quality OF casting ASIDE
as useless rubbish that which is useless. 1t means
that he has not let years either chlorotorm his
mind or put shackles on his body. 1t means that he
has kept his youth as other people keep their
jewels. "Cy" Young is still youth, despite his
twenty years record, because chiefly OF his re-
fusal to yield the first redoubt to the ever ad-
vancing line of age
To understand this record and its meaning, 1t
must be remembered that "Cy" Young is forty
four years old, and that at thirty the average
athlete is midde-aged, and al thirty-tve is aged.
Forty years, the mental high noon of life, in the
physical realm marks the verge of senility.
Yet at forty-four this man with record of a
generation of gruelling competition with athletic
youngsters still holds his own--stll wins his
games In the FIVE hundrcdth victory that came
to him, the score was tied in the ninth inning.
His opponents had three men on bases. Only
one man was out The old man" was weaken
ing. Weakening! Not "Cy"! The veteran
gathered his forces. He met the crisis With
clear eye, with unrufied Judgment, with each
muscle working in time and harmony with an
alert brain, the hero of thousands of baseball
battles looked the situation in the face, called up
the reserves, and retired the side without score

Attor the game, they of course sought to inter

compishment, but conscious of his hands, he
avoided the ovation and the notoriety, pauslng

Some pictures carry their sermon so that they
need no words in exposition. This is one of them
We would, however, suggest another picture re-
Gently of much public emphasis-the picture of a
great, specially trained, specially fed, specially
educated mass of flesh and bone and sinew, aged
thirty-four, as opposed to Young's forty-four
years-the picture of him, with battered face,
with closed eyes, with dropping bullet head upon
his protuberant chest, staggering blinded from
ring, beaten, foresworn, forgotten, eclipsed!
And against Young's remark after the winning
of his five hundredth game in competition with
men young enough to be his sons, "The simple
life did it! don't live here, we would ask
that there be recalled again the excuse of the
supposedly prime athlete as his friends supported
him past the ropes:

and fragrant contempts of judicial orders
Gompers, Mitchell, and Morrison have sunk them
selves in an issue of their own raising. They
should be punished with the utmost lack of pas
sion, or set free as the may be, with an ex-
position of relative rights clear, and simple,
and final as it is within the power of Judicial
genius to mark out the limits Of freedom and
the boundaries of personal rights when their ex-
ercise conflicts with and tends to destroy the
rights of others.
Much of importance as the Supreme Court will
be called upon to consider at its next term, there
is nothing of quite such vital interest to so many
people the disposition of this bit of legal fot-
sam left by storm that has itself subsidized.

THE DOMINANT SEX.

It seems that the everlasting contention of
the sexes is to find in Norway the opportunity
of definite solution. The Parliament has there
passed an act granting equal suffrage in all re-
spects to women which, important in itself be-
comes of extreme interest when it is remem-
bered that in Norway the women have clear
working majority
What, then, may we expects That sex con-
seriousness, so much exploited of late, will prove
itself capable of organization and, through or
ganization, of the capture Of the finances and
policy of Kingdom, or that the women, divid-
ing among themselves, viii merely further COM
ploate the anxieties of political leaders, and
further modernize the novelties of political in
ducements
Since it is Norway, we rather trust and hope
that the newly enfranchised sutfragettes will have
the courage of their convictions. We would like
to see them run every bearded Norseman out Of
the Council Chambers. We would JOY to see a
new precedent in Female wilkins in government.
We would gladly throw up hat-with the
kindly intervening to keep our enthusiasm
from reacting upon ourselves--at the sight of
the women managing the Eagles of State
With clear working majority of something
like sixty thousand, this result is possible, all
the more possible since, by reason of simple con-
olusion of mathematics, there must inevitably be
at least sixty thousand unmarried female electors.
To these spinster politicians the game will bring
special delight, comfort, and occupation. 1t
is to be presumed that they will play politics as
fercely as they would have loved their children,
and in that event, the finish of the Morse poll
tician of the he persuasion is plain. Among the
first acts of legislation should be one requiring
every man to marry, and to work There should
be established female supervision of all masculine
compensation Spendthrifts would have their
wapes paid to their wives There would be
nurseries, and what not of the humble and faith
full obligations of a patient weaker sex. The
entire program il ono Of enhancing speculation!
As it is, however, the real result will
scarcely turn out TO be that of the long-dreamed
Republic of women. The men will continue to
prove enhancing, as they always are when they
are in minority. They will hold the blushing
balance of power, and they will insist upon their
rights Whatever the women think they are do
ing the men will rule the nation, just as, in many
instances in this country, however He thinks he
bosses the home, the real Gar of the premises
buys her hair at bargain and tips the scales at
ninety pounds.
Which is TO say that you cannot escape senti-
ment, even when it is attempted to legislate it
out Of existence. .---4.-

GET DONA FERENTES."


Like the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot" the VIM
chester Star fails "to understand the good pur-
pose which Democratic newspapers hope to sub
serve by questioning the motives and belittlng
the influence of the leaders of the Republican
Insurgents.
As we see it, the actions of the Insurgents
themselves best place the query after their mo-
tives. Certainly the history of Republican poll
tics is sufficient to question their value to the
country. Had the Insurgents" been sincere,
there would have been no iniqulty such as that
of the Payne Aldrich tariff bill Had they had
the courage to live up to their proestations Can
non would never have been elected Speaker for
his last term, and he wuold have been oustec
after the spectacular victory won by coalli-
ton of Insurgents and Democrats when con
troll OF the rules was taken out of his hands
only to be placed in the hands of men as re-
sponsive to Cannon as push button is to the
thumb Of the man in the bay window of club
Had the "Insurgents" had any real purpose
carry out the things they stood for, they would
have engaged in an open revolt, instead OF n
demonstration intended to secure committee as
sgnments and prominence before the country.
Again. every effort of this sort has hitherto fail
ed to amount to anything at the moment OF the
crisis All of them have vanished into the thin
smoke of oratory when the results came to be
examined. They are,-or have been-nothlng
more than the confusion under which plans dit
fcult of accomplishment have been accomplished:
Take from the Republican party its power OF
cohesiveness, remove from it the idea that the
mortar of success is office, divorce it from greed
and wed it to a real conviction,-and you de-
stroy the Republican party. Conceding this,
as all must concede it, it remains that the In
surgents" are first of all Republicans They
wish to be bigger, more influential Republicans.
1t is TO this end that the clear drift OF events
seems to indicate that they working
Again it must be remembered that the Repuo-
lican party is now the eve of an election IN
which it will be Judged by its action looked at
in the retrospect of its promises. Its wlsest
leaders must know that it cannot successfully

victeda What better politics, and what more
