A recent dispatch sent out from Washington.
ID. g., reads thusly:
complaint is made by Senators that the Off
GERS of the State Department are passing so much
of their time, not necessarily away from their de-
partmental work, but from their desks that it is
almost impossible to transact routine business re-
quiring the signature of one of them.
The American voter is pattern of the vir-
tues Of patience, faith and generosity, but it
will be just as we'll if he will speedily devise
ways and means for the men whom he sends
to Washington to look after affairs national
to stay on the job, instead of glad-handing
and Joy-rlding all over the universe. The lob
of representing states and districts may be an
arduous one, but it is certainly one requiring
'neatness and dispatch'' The neatness is only
represented in the salary paying line; it's up
to us now to have a little dispatch in the dis
posal of matters of moment.

have rendered SIX months ago, is now in the
hands of President Taft, and it is scarcely
probable that easy going mortal will refuse
to accept it. A rumor is current that the
whlteWashed one had promised to be good and
resign, providing the sanitary brush was APP
piled first; following his 'vindication" by a
majority Of the Investigating Committee, the
resignation was sent IN "for the good of the

is concerned, large majority agree that the
good of the country has been lost sight of, by
the administration"

IN some manner, evading the duty on raw su-

which was warranted by their enormous bust

After the first revelations were made and
some of the conspirators were trapped, the
hunt for ''the man higher up'' led to Charles
Heize, secretary treasurer of the American
Sugar Refining Company. One of the men
indicted and sentenced was Oliver Splitter,
superintendent of the companys plant at
Williamsburg. AS Splitter had been party
to the weighing frauds, he was promptly in
dicted, tried and sentenced to two years in the
Federal Prison in Atlanta. When the time

Plank Has Always Been First Rater.
Just what luck Mack has with Plank
against the Cubs remains to be seen.
Eddie has always ranked right along
side OF George Edward Waddell, when
that gentleman was Fight; Harry Sal

front flight among the southpaws.
Plank has been a distinct hit year in

Col. Connie from the college world.
Gettysburg is Plank's old school, and
ne went straight from its campus to
the Athletics orchard.
Plank failed to distinguish himself
against the Giants in the 1905 worlds
series, but then Mathewson was so
very very good that Eddie didn't have
a chance to become a hero. Matte
got the goat of Plank's associates and

That's because the Colby collegian was

He sought that honor, just as Eddie
Collins went out to hang up another
stolen base record for the American
league. Here's Collins listed with the
bulky bunch of eighty pliers AS the

since the latter part of August, fully
half of Eddie's steals were made to
allow him to bust Ty Cobb's old rec
ord. A less enthusiastic player
wouldn't have continued to scrape his
shins and arms with his team having
the championship wrapped up.
Coombs Is also a collegian. Colby
college, up in New England, is his old
school, and he was the star pitcher of
its nifty nine during the seasons Of
1902, 1908, 1904 and 1905. Coombs
was discovered by a Mack agent and
brought to Philadelphia for the price
of a one-way ticket. Not until this
year has Jack travelled with balldoms
swells; in fact, save for his memorable
24-inning battle with Harris in Bos-
ton In September, 1906, Jack was never
the recipient of very much attention
up to this campaign. He was consid-
cred an average workman, and that's
all.
