A Great Secret.

There is in the heart of every man
an earnest desire to know how he
may be victorious in the time of temp
tation. Temptation is not sin, though
yielding to sin, but there Is one sure
way of escaping from the overmaster-
ing power of the tempter, and that is
to keep busy. When David was idle
he sinned, when Peter was not toiling
he failed, and 1t was when you were
drifting idly along in Christian expe-
rience that you denied your Master.
The secret of a victorious life is to
keep busy. The old saying is quite
true, 'The idle brain is the devils
workshop. Christian Intelligencer.

them. Both teams played almost per-

would have had no kick coming. 1t

no time for Burlington to lay down.
The attendance yesterday was punk,
but the roofing wasn't. In the last

jumped around like pups in a meat

Notes Of the Game.
The ever observant Mr.. Clark, OF
the home contingent, without his mon
ocle or spy-glass, perceived that Tret-
ter was flinging illegally, not having
the required amount of his anatomy
in the box. His jumps set the Quincy
pitcher straight in hurry.
Quick work by Jimmie Dunn pre-
vented run in the third. Its one thing
to pitch effective ball and another TO
field balls with accuracy. Jimmie did
both yesterday.
Senno's great catch Of Owens VIC
ious drive between left and center
was a feature. Dan connected on the
run and the fans Immediately went
wild.
Boss Myers wired his way into the
glory column when he went headlong
into the bleacher screen to gather In
Finney's foul. When Babe hit the wire
he bounced back fifteen feet, but he
had the ball.
The bleacherites were never noiser
in their lives than yesterday. Their en-
thusiasm bothered Tretter perceptibly.
Noise never sounded so sweet.
And we'll all be there again tomor'
row. was the tune hummed by the fans
as they left the park yesterday.

EXPRESS RATES CUT.
Illinois Railroad Body Orders Sweep
ing Reductions of Tariffs.

springfield. I'll. = The big ex-
press companies Of the country
were dealt the most severe blov OF
their existence when the Illinois all
road and warehouse commission pro
mulgated an order cutting in half
many of the rates now charged by the
companies and making sweeping re-
ductions all along the line
The PRONUNCIATION of express tariff
| No. l" by the commission brings the
fight of the state against the express
companies to a crisis. The reduction
IS made effective October Is. and the
companies are preparing for finish
tight They dispute the authority of
the commission TO regulate their bust
ness within the state and assert that
either they sill ignore the new tariff
schedule or go into court and get an
injunction restraining the commission
from carrying its order into effect.
In a lengthy statement which the
commission hands down with its tariff
schedule the business methods of the
express companies are severely ar
raigned. The existing rates are de-
clared to be unreasonable and ex-
orbitant as well as discriminatory in
character. as it has been shown that
the same companies charge different
rates for the same service on different
railroads.
Unlike the reductions which have
been made In some states of a fiat
rate of 10 or 20 per cent, the Diinois
commission has prepared a complete
graduated tariff schedule. based on
the weight of packages and on the
distance they are carried within the
state. The heavier reductions are
made on small packages weighing less
than 100 pc nds. which constitute the
bulk of the express business and in
which the greater number of shippers
are directly interested.
In its report the commission finds
that some of the express companies
started in business without five cents
OF capital and now possess assets run
ming into the tens of millions of dol
lars IL finds also that a community
of interests exist between the big ex-
press companies. the one concern own
ing stock in a rival company so that
ii is difficult to say where one begins
and the other ends. Competition has
been completely eliminated by the
methods pursued by the companies,
according to the finding of the COM
mission.
The commission expresses the be-
| lief that the time is not far distant
when the necessity for express COM
panies as common carriers will be at
an end. 1t calls attention to the fact
That in many countries the leading
railroads include in their service the
collection and delivery of packages
and parcels similar to the service rem
dered by the express companies in
this country. This, the commission
says, the railroads are doing success
fully on charges satisfactory to the
shipper and that deliveries are prompt
ly made.
