Piav Ball!

RAY 6dtts
We haven't any time today to think
of conversation
There is but one great, throbbing
thought that animates the nation;
Play ball;
Let Ballinger and Pinchot cease a
while to claim attention:
Who cares picayune about the fool
ish fourth dimension
Or lets the cost of living cause the
slightest apprehension?
Play ball.
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead that he refrains from shout
ing:
"Play ball?''
Now who to dumb forgetfulness a
prey sits sadly doubling?
Play BALI
II such there be, go mark him well,
the soul is dead that slumbers;
The man who is not wildly thrilled
some dreadful plague encumbers.
Behold the people turning out in
glorious countless numbers
Play ball,
The world may go to smash next
week. but who has time to worry
Play ball.
Get down to first there-run it out
YOU chump. why don't you hurry?
Play ball,
Who cares about the price of beef?
We do not have to eat it;
Stand up there to the plate, old man
don't be afraid to meet it
Nov you've got to run, you
fool,-Don't be turtIe-beat it
Play ball,

/ Congressman Coudry of st. Louis
hasn't very much use for the insurg-
ents. When Eugene Foss reported at
washington from Massachusetts TO be
sworn in. Mr. Coudry said that as
Foss was neither Republican nor a
Democrat. his place was in
the Cherokee strip, that ter
ritory in the house of representatives
where the overflow OF Republicans
are seated on the Democratic side
Coudry went a little further and said
that all OF the Insurgents ought TO
be placed in the Cherokee strip, as
the regulars didn't want them on
their side. Those who know Coudry
believe that If he had his way he
not only would locate the insurgents
in the Cherokee strip, but would To-
cate the Cherokee strip out in the
Pacific ocean, about 800 or 500 miles
from land.

Carroll is entitled to by reason of his
strong and consistent administration

Mr.. Garst owes 10 himself. Every
one in Iowa knows that his own judg-
Inent has been against becoming a
candidate and that he has been mere
ly forced into the contest. through
political manipulations The Re
publican's view OF the matter is the
correct view, and should prevail. Mr.
Garst made a serious mistake in con-
senting to become candidate. He
should not hesitate TO correct that
mistake by Withdrawing at once and
advising his friends to vote for Gov

EDITED By the Pupils.l

A letter from DR.. Shurter of the
School of Public Speaking, of the
State University, received last week
by Prof. Jacobs, informed him that
so many replies had been received
favoring the organization of a High
School Debating League in Texas,
about which letter was received by
Prof Jacobs short time ago, that
in order to avoid further delay in get
ting started a constitution is being
prepared, which will be sent as soon
as possible to all affiliated schools. A
plan has already been worked out by,
which the state is divided into ten
districts with reference to the distri-
button of schools, railroad facilities,
etc. Each district is designated by a
town or city as its center, and Pales-
tine has been chosen as such a CEN
ter. Dr. Shurter also requests that
Prof Jacobs serve as director of this
district The general rules and reg
ulations of the league will be con-
tanned in the constitution. IT. is
hoped and believed that such league
will do much for the High School, and
both the Boys Debating Society and
the Athena Literary Society have en-
tered heartily into the plan.
