ELKS-SHRINERS
 CONFUSE SCORER

The famous baseball game between the teams of the Elks and Shriners took place yesterday afternoon at Redwood P ield. The scoring was indiscriminate, but according to the best efforts of the scorer he figured it at p to 5 in favor of the Elks. The players of both teams were badly handicapped by the mud. Part of the game was played in the rain and the immaculate suits of the players were sadly discolored at the end of the game.

WHY THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
WILL BE BEATEN NEXT NO.
VENEER.

1.-THE next House of representatives
wil' be democratic, says the New
York World And it follows up that
assertion with the following state
ments and reasons:
Mr.. Taft will lose his own State o
Ohio. Gov. Harmon will be reelected
and Democratic Senator will sue
coed Charles Dick.
There will be great Democratic
gains everywhere, and on the morn
ing of the 9Th of November the
country will be astonished at the
sweeping political changes recorded
in the election returns.
The reasons are many.
Mr.. Taft threw away much of the
confidence of the country when he
identified himself with Aldrich and
Cannon in defense of their tariff. The
blunder was not so much in signing
the bill as in making himself sponsor
for 1T personally and describing 1T as
"the best tariff ever enacted"
He threw away more OF the conf
dence of the country when he began
to treat the insurgents as personal
enemies and sent out Cabinet officers
like Mr. Wickersham to denounce
their courage and independence as
treason.
He threw away more of the conf
dence Of the country by his methods
Of dealing with the Ballinger case

BAD BUT NOT THE WORST IN
vESTMENT.

The big captains of industry. or
at least a goodly number of them,
are preaching against the automobile
extrayagance indulged in at the
present time by many Of the com
mon people. There is little that can
be said in defense of those who buy
automobiles before they are able to
pay for homes. But investments in
automobiles are far better than in
vestments in bogus or waterlogged
stocks. 1t is quite safe to say that
the general public loses dollars in
dealings with the stock gamblers for
every dime that is unwisely invested
in automobiles. And this new born
interest of the big money bags for
the common people may not be en-.
tirely free from personal interest
Money spent for automobiles they
may consider lost to them.

command" and is used to advance
the selfish financial schemes Of the
large railroads, banking and manufac-
turing interests he serves in the
halls of Congress. This is hardly
news to well-informed men in Wash
ington. Lodge is one OF the Aldrich
group, ever ready to increase the
tariff and serve the corporate inter
ests. He stated in the Senate one,
day that the ultimate consumer is a
myth.
How Protection Protects.
Protectionists assert that high tar
LIT rates protect" American working
men. What is meant by the word
.'protect?" The steel industry is ONE
of the most highly protected indus
tries in the United States. The ai,ghl
rates ON steel products have "pro-
tected" the American workingmen In
that industry by driving them from
the mills. Positions formerly filled
by Americans are now occupied by
the cheapest foreign labor. A report
just made on conditions in the, mills
Of the steel trust at Bethlehem, Pa.
states that "4725 men, or 81 per
|cent Of all the employees, worked IL
hours a day; 220 workmen had a
Itwelve-hour day except on Saturdays
and 1903 employees had a workday of
Item and one-half to eleven hours in
length Thus does protection "pro-
| tect" the workingman!
People were Betrayed.
Tariff protection-makes for mo.
nopoly," declares Alfred Henry Lew
is in Pearsons magazine. But that
/ is not all he says. Monopoly" he
declares, SIS robbery arranged for by
law. Anyone who would be mo-
nopolist would be a pickpocket could
he be safe The politicians in Wash
lington have cheated and betrayed

you stone"

in which he showed himself an attor-
ney for the defendant and not
Judge. The admitted use Of the
Lawler memorandum after the White
House had denied its use, and the
juggling of the date on the Wicker
sham brief, have left an impression
of bad faith upon the public mind
that no amount Of legislation will
soon efface.
He threw away more of the confi-
dence of the country when he glori-
fled Cannon and Aldrich and gave
his Administration measures into
the custody of the Republican reac-
tionaries. Public suspicion Of laws
enacted by Legislators who do not be-
lieve in them is never quickly quoted
1t is much easier to lose public con-
fidence than to regain 1t, and Mr.
Taft still has a long and difficult
road to travel. Whatever Congress
has done, the President has man
aged to create the suspicion that he
himself, as Senator Dolliyer said, is
"a good man surrounded by people
who know exactly what they want;
that his Administration is at heart
lreactionary; that 1t is not in SYM
pathy with progressive radicaiism;
that 1t yields to public opinion only
so far as it dare not refuse to
yield, and that its moral influence is
lstill on the side Of privilege.
| + Back of all this is the continue
| ing discomfort over the cost of aiy'
ling, which cannot be diminishe by
political oratory or Senator Lodges
report while the American people
stagger under the burden Of exces
siye tariff privileges and wanton gov
lernmental extravaganza. All thu
stump speeches that are made Il
lbehalf of the Republican ticket mex
fall cannot reduce the household ea
!, penses of a single family.
4 That is why the next House Q
Representatives will be Democratic
That is why Mr.. Taft will lose hi
own State. That is why the Repua
lican party will be "beatenS to
) frazle." That is why the Sth of NJ
vember will witness the first natiol
al defeat since 1892"

penaYed, rather scholarly lad. He had |
gone to Bowdoin college, and, Incl,
dentally. there won most most Of the |
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
Finally he blossomed forth as a full.
ifiedged lawyer and politician. Of a
ihigh-minded sort In his native city Of
Augusta.
His Great Argument.
From 1856 to 1883 he lived IN Chi
cage. but attracted little attention out
side his immediate circle OF friends
and associates at the bar until he I'm.
dertook the defense Of Bishop Cheney
on charge Of heresy. His knowl'
edge of ecclesiastical history and
procedure astonished those who con-.
Quoted the case, and his argument Of
the cause Of the bishop before the SUI
preme court of Illinois is referred to
still as forensic effort seldom If ever
surpassed in that court.
He was a delegate to the national
conventions Of the Democratic party
In 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
The Maine boy who had gone
west" accomplished much, however,
Notwithstanding his quiet life. He
had laid the foundations for deep
understanding Of the commercial laws
Of the country. and along this line he
4 had performed services for clients
that was estimated to have netted him
an annual income of $4,000.
Republicans Urged His Appointment.
These accomplishments led Repub.
lican senators from Illinois to urge
upon Democratic president the ap
pointment of Mr.. Fuller to succeed
IiChief Justice Waite.
| The nomination Of Mr.. Fuller., ther
ffty-five years Of age. was followed by
| "a memorable contest in the senate.
The Judiciary committe, with itt
Republican majority, to which the
nomination was sent April 30, held W
the appointment until July 20. Their
the committee reported 1t to the sen
ate without recommendation"
For three hours that body debated
in executive session whether to con
firm or reject the nomination. TIL,
lia.tack on Mr.. Fuller was led by Sen
ators Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart
Senators Cullom and Farwell defended
him.
" The reports that he had been ,

hand that he did not possess tn
,larequisite ability as a lawyer wer,

His Great Victory. 81
Finally. by vote Of Al to 20. hi
J, nomination was confirmed.
4 Since that day the entire court, a

RAILROAD TO
SMITH VALLEY
ON SCHEDULE

By comparison the present pro-
gress of Copper Belt construction
is certainly encouraging. Whereas
four months time was consumed
in laying the fourteen miles of steel
to Mason, the first six miles to the
south of this place has been COM
pleted in thirty days, with small
Ter outfit in point of numbers.
1t is certainly big advantage to
have the material on hand, as now
Steel has been kept coming on time,
while all ties and miscellaneous ma
terial for the Smithvale lap has
been drawn from the stores at Ma
son.
No delays have been experienced
to date and none in prospect at
present; it will not be long before
January 1, 1911, that passenger and
freight service goes into effect in
Smith valley. The tariffs for this
service are out, and will be issued
shortly. A passenger train that ar
rives here early in the morning
will continue to Smithvale, arriving
there between Z and s o'clock, and
depart about 2 o'clock in the after
noon, giving Smith valley the same
excellent connections enjoyed at Ma
son. All mail now reaching there
at o'clock p. m. will be received
at an early hour of the same day,
an advantage of fifteen hours over
the present mail service.
The track crew is now but a mile
this side of the George Wilson
ranch; some records are being bro
ken for the kind of crew and equip
ment; on yesterday $500 feet of
track was put down, which is the
best days work
