Brother Upton's Shy on His Texts

Dear Sir:-I hate to intrude on
your valuable time for I know that
you are a very busy man, but there
is Missionary Baptist preacher at
this place, Rev. E. Upton. who says
that you are on the worldly side and
are doing harm to the cause of mis-
sions. While he is not a subscriber
to The Jeff, he has had the pleasure
of reading what you had to say to the
Rev. J. w. Bailey. He said that Paul
did take a collection for his mission
airy journey, but didn't give any
Scripture reference. He says that he
understands that you are opposed to
the Mission Boards, and suggests that
that you give us better way of do
ing mission work He says that he
likes the Boards O. K.
If this letter is worth your con-
sideration, please give some plan in

the plan.

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY J. ID. WATSON
CHARLES EDWARDS.

A fair example of what one man can do in
Congress when he attends to his business, and
is on the watch, is shown by what Repre-
sentative Martin, of Colorado, accomplished
at the last hour of the night session of the
past Congress.
For weeks Mr.. Martin has been trying to
get through resolution calling for an in
vestigation of the reported sales and leases of
the valuable friar lands in the Philippines to
the Sugar Trust.

Both the Senate and House had passed a
concurrent resolution for adjournment. and
the last hour of the session was drawing to
a close.
Members were leaving as fast as they could
gather together their belongings and vacate,
and maj ority had gone.
Martin, lean and lanl, and serving his first
term IN Congress, arose In his seat and asked
for recognition that he might speak on his
resolution. 7
Old Joe Cannon refused to recognize the
gentleman from Colorado, for, like most of
the others, he wanted to quit work and get
away.
But here is where the Waterman comes in
There is a rule that Congress cannot ad-
Journ unless there is quorum present, and
Martin saw his chance Quick as flash he
threw back at Cannon: ''Mr. Speaker, I make
the point of no quorum"
And for the second time in his life the old
rascal from Illinois had walked into his own
trap and sprung the trigger
He was caught good and hard and he had
to squeal.
It meant that Mr. Martin could prevent
Congress from adjourning in accordance with
the concurrent resolution it had passed or
force an extra session, unless the House Weld
ed to Martins wishes.
And Martin forced old Joe Cannon to make
the House pass his resolution calling for an
investigation which promises to be much
more unpleasant for not only the Taft ad-
ministration, but for President Taft himself
than anything that has come before the pub
lie since Mr.. Taft has been in office.
Mr.. MARTINS case of making the whole
House yield to one mans wishes is not the
first case of the kind on record
Many a time during each session the man
who IS on the lookout for his chance can &C
complish something by taking advantage of
the opportunity at the critical moment
But the great trouble is that there are SO
few members who keep a sharp watch for the
chance to do something. The majority pre-
fer to take things easy and let the opportu-
NIFTY to accomplish something pass them by
1t one man can force the House to come to
his terms or hold it at standstill why can't
hundred or more often do the same thing?

Many times during the past session the
Democrats might have been able to wiring
concessions from the Republicans had their
leaders always kept the sharp watch that Mr..
Martin did during the last hours of the SEES
sion.

man is telling you 1--WE were in the minority
and we couldn't do anything"?

him: swell, how did your colleague, Martin,
do SO much just by himself?'
LODGE, of Massachusetts,, will also have op-
position for the Senate this time, and if the
late Congressional election to fill an umex-
pred term is any sign to go by, Mr.. Lodge
is IN for rather a strenuous campaign.
Even Massachusetts seems to have gotten
too much of good thing In the Payne
Aldrlch tariff and is firing of it.
If Lod &c happened to lose out in Massa-
chusetts, it would leave Mr.. Taft in the mid
die of bad predicament.
With Mr.. Hale and Aldrich both retiring.
and Mr.. Lodge being told to quit. Mr. Taft
would resemble ship at sea without rud-
der.
THE Republicans have sounded their cam
palgn keynote, and it is what was to be ex-
pected, the keeping Of party pledges.
From now until November we are to be en-
hghtened as to how the damnable Payne
Aldrich tariff decreases the poor mans bur
den and brings in revenue to the Government
from the rich manufacturers pocket.
How the postal savings bank helps the little
depositor save his earnings In Government
protected institution, which pays him inter
est on it, instead of letting it wander so far
away from home as Wall Street, where the
money kings can get their hands on it.
How the Trusts will be regulated and made
good by the appropriations which Congress
has made for the Department of Justice
Wickersham's department, to prosecute the
numerous cases now pending against said
Trusts.
This is the kind of oratory that the Repub-
ican spellbinders will hand out for the next
four months, and, if the Democrats don't
wake up, they will succeed in getting the peo-
pie to swallow the dose.

BREAKING IN YOUNG PITCHERS.
Present Method All Wrong, Says Jack
Boyle-Ho~ Arson Did 1t.

1.-The present way of handling pitch
ers-1 mean. of course, the way OF
breaking in young pitchers is al
wrong" says the veteran Jack Boyle,
who caught for the st. Louis Browns
when Charlie Comiskey was managing
Won der Ahe's team. Il may be mis-
taken. of course, but in my opinion the
system now followed by all the big
league managers is absurd. 1t is now
the invariable custom. when a major
league team secures junior wonder
from the bushes, to set him down upon
the bench and tell him to stop. look
and listen. He is supposed to pitch a
little before the gam2 and then to
watch the veterans putting them over,
and, incidentally, to learn all he can
about the various batsmen and the in
side workings of the fast company.
Then. some day, when a pitcher has
been pounded, the youngster goes in
from the bench and makes a sorry
showing. Theoretically. of course this
system, ought to be all right. The boy
is going to school. as it were. and re-
ceiving the instruction to fit him for
his business career. But IS a matter
of plain fact and common sense how
about it?
Your young pitcher comes up from
the brushwood with a sense Of sublime
confidence and an unlimited stock Of
nerve He thinks he must be good, or
the big team wouldn't have paid $50
much money foryhim. He knows that
if he could go right in there and face
those big leaguersy he'd show them up;
but he doesn't get the chance BY tina
time he has been under instruction for
a week two he has lost his conf
dence- He has had it impressed upon
him that he is lucky to be alive. He
has had the merits of his natural style
criticised: he has been shown a lot of
stunts. with the best Intentions but
without the least effect

HOW JENNINGS TOOK
COBB DOWN A PEG.
CURLY Told. by That Club Manager
That the Club Didn't Need Him.

When Tyrus Raymond Cobb was
told CURLY when he appeared at the
park recently that the Tigers could
get along without him ii was the
first touch of discipline he has ex-
perienced since Hugh Jennings took
charge OF the team. according to
Sporting Life. Many Tigers chuckled
with glee, for Notwithstanding his
popularity with the fans. who do not
know the inside doings of ball clubs,
he is not popular with his team
mates. He is t-headed and over
bearing. Particularly he does not
get along well with Davy Jones, Nc
1ntyre, Bush and one or two of the
boxmen.
In a recent game Jones missed n
signal for hit and run play and the
affair went wrong. The players had
some hot words over the matter after
the game. Cobb did not appear at the
park for the next game He had in
formed one of the Ped Sox that he
would not play with the Tigers again
until Davy Jones was taken out of the
lineup. He may have limited this to
some Detroit players.
At any rate IL got 10 the ears of
Manager Jennings, and set him to
thinking about who was running the
team Finally Cobb appeared at the
club office ard announced that he
was ready to play again, He had
thought better OF his little hot
medicines. he explained. President
NaVin referred him to Manager Jen-
nings. Cobb did not hunt up Jen-
nings. but went out to the park Just
before the time for call of play. Train
er Tuthill was the only man at the
field and told Jennings that Ty Cobb
was on hand. Jennings sent word to
the king of ball players that he need
not bother to put his uniform as
the Tigers could get along without
him. Mcintyre played a very nice
game in center that day.
This incident revealed as a cause of
the recent Tiger slump that which
was uspected-internai discussions.
1t explainS why speedy base run
ner like Bush was dropped to sixth
place in the batting order. Cobb was
continually bulldozing the midget, and
the fact that he was compelled to bat
just ahead of the Georgian and CO.
operate with him i'm base running if
he got on, affected the nerves of the
brilliant shortstop, with the result that
he fell off badly in both batting and
fielding He commenced to hit again
as soon as he was placed below Cobb
in the order. Cobb made his peace
with Manager Jennings, and has since
been playing once more in his regular
position.
