Fans the country over are wondering
what the commissioners will do to
Killing, whether they will tell him to

that IL Killing is reinstated his years

The National Commission has not
appointed any specisl committee to
look up the dope on Johnny. All that
Ban Johnson, president OF the Ameri-

sioners, did was to tell his secretary.
Robert McRoy, and his assistant, a. j..
Frlanner, TO find out the number OF
games King played in Chicago against

AssAmING WnnnROW WILSON.

II HE announcement that President Woodrow
i Wilson of Princeton University would accept
the nomination for governor Of New Jersey If Of
fered him by the Democratic State convention has
stirred the politicians of that State Fear that Dr.
Wilson might be chosen has caused vigorous fire
TO be opened on him. II is said that he is being
put forward by the special interests, that he would
be moulded by them and that New York is trying
10 make the governor of New Jersey
Those who assail Dr. Wilson on the ground that
he would be unduly influenced by the so-caed
special interests and the corporations that control
New Jersey politics certainly give the head OF
Princeton credit for little sense. Dr. Wilson is the
very man that the special interests would not wish
10 see governor. He could and probably would
break their back and free New Jersey from the
domination Of political parties controlled by spec
ial interests.
II is pointed out that DR.. Wilson would not be
the choice of the masses and that his nomination
would be received with a frost. In other words he
would be too good for the Democrats OF New Jer-
sey, and there is much truth in that. The COM
petitof against Dr. Wilson for the nomination, Mr..
Katzenbach Of Trenton, would come nearer the
Democratic ideal in New Jersey. At any rate
there is lively stir in Mercer county, New Jersey,
the home Of both men.
Perhaps the commuters of Northern New Ter
sey who have been much distressed by the in
crease of railroad rates will support Dr. Wilson.
They are talking about electng candidates TO
the Legislature who will stand for them and reg
ulate the railways But New Jersey has fallen into
the hands OF the interests largely because Of the
indifference Of the commuters. Behind Dr. Will
son they could make a formidable showing.
The present probabilities are that Dr. Wilson
candidacy will not get very far. Soon, perhaps
Bryan may be heard from in opposition With
Wilson as governor he would be in line for the
presidential nomination and that would interfere
with Mr.. Bryan.

~ HE third annual convention of the National

for Canada which is much interested in the move
ment will have representatives present.
The premier of Canada is expected to attend

More than 100000 invitations have been sent out
half of which have been addressed to the owners
of automobiles in this country and in Canada.
A monster automobile parade is listed as one of
the attractions More than half the states of the
union it is recalled, have adopted the principle of
State aid and supervision over all or parts of the
roads. The same interest in the subject is dis
played in Canada, and this is bringing about
steady improvement in Canadian roads.
At the coming meeting the association will en-
eavok to prove TO Congress the feasibility OF CIV

The association has done much to advance the
cause OF good roads in this country. Delaware

Sunday Baseball.

Springfield Republican.
II may be that Sunday baseball will
in time be everywhere unopposed on
the ground that it provides wholesome
and harmless open-air amusement to
the masses Of learners whose OPP
portunities for recreation on other
days are very meager. Since the pres
ent season began a number Of clergy
men here and there have expressed
themselves in favor of this form of
Sunday sport, although they were of
the radical sort. The action of the
sheriff in arresting Sunday ball play
ers at Elmira, N. Y. at the Instance of
Governor Hughes. was doubtless due
to the terms Of the Sunday observ-
ance laws in that state. but the case
reminds one how persistent is the pop
ular demand for Sunday games in the
