HUGHES FOR CHIEF JUSTICE
His Name Only One Discussed at Cab

Washington, Sept. Ex-Governor
Hughes name was the only one men.
toned for chief justice Of the supreme
court at the cabinet meeting. The gov
ernor's qualifications were discussed at
considerable length, but nothing def
mite came from 1t.
The names of several other men were
taken under consideration as pesabili.
ties for other vacancies on the supreme
court bench. These included United
States Senator George Sutherland of
Utah, Chancellor Pitman of New Jer.
sey and Justice Swayze and r. V. Lin.
dabury, also of New Jersey.
The consideration Of these names
would seem to indicate that the presi.
dent desires to give the Third and
Eighth judicial circuits direct repre-.
sentation on the supreme bench.

POWERS OF NATIONAL BANK
No Right to Pay Premiums on Policy
For Its President.

ToF tbS EE0StdSu3
Washington, Sept. 2T.-1n answer to
many inquiries from banks OOmptrol-
Ter of the Currency Murray has ex-
pressed an opinion that a national
bank has no power to use its funds in
paying premiums on policy Of insur-
ance on the life Of it's president or
other officer not indebted to the bank,
though the policy be payable to the
bank.
Powers of a national bank other
than those expressly granted must be
such, Mr.. Murray holds, as are reason
ably incidental TO the exercise Of the
powers expressly granted. Insuring
the life of its officers, he says, is not
such an incidental power.

Cleveland Regime.

A boastful and blatant Democracy
throughout the country is not only de-
claring that the next house OF con
gress will be Democratic, but is pre-
dieting that the successor to President
Taft will be a Democrat
Late election returns have unques
tionably given the Democrats great
encouragement, and reports from GER
tain states until recently reliably Re-
publican put the result in November
In doubt. Thoughtful men, while
dreading the outcome, are at loss to
understand how the great American
people could return TO power a party
which has caused 30 much misfortune
and distress, both to the business in
terests and the wage-earners of the
Union.
1t has only been within the last few
weeks that the citizens of PennsyL
vania have apparently begun to real
ize the serious nature Of the situation.
and there are evidences upon every
hand that the voters Of the Keystone
State will not be carried away with
the tide Of heresy and fanaticism that
is sweeping over the country.
Warnings are going out in every
direction that Pennsylvania must
stand firm; that this bulwark of Re-
publicanism must remain unshaken
and that every vote must be polled,
so that the election returns shall
sound a trumpet blast to the world
that the sane and sober citizenship of
the Keystone State has rallied again
around the banner OF true Republican.
Ism and protection.
Pennsylvania as the foremost indus.
trial state has more at stake than any
other commonwealth, and her vast
army of wage-earners, the workers In
the mills and the mines, realize the
interest each and every one of them
has In continuance Of Republican
domination of the affairs Of the state
and the nation.

A Pennsylvania Tariff.

The tariff is more of a vital Issue
today than It has been at any time in
the last decade.
The tariff act recently framed and
now In force were drafted with partic.
ular reference to the fostering OF
Pennsylvania interests, with Senators
Penrose and Oliver and united Penn
sylvania Republican delegation un-
flinchingly adhering to the policy OF
protecting the business and industrial
enterprises Of their home state, until
the bill became a law with these in
terests all protected.
II this tariff, with the few minor
changes proposed, shall be allowed to
stand, Pennsylvania wage-earners and
Pennsylvania capitalists can look for
ward to an unprecedented period OF
prosperity.
But the advance agents of business
decentralization, of closed mills and
mines and of shut down factories and
workshops of every description are
abroad In every state. They are
preaching Democracy and disseminat
ing false and misleading doctrines,
and especially are they holding out
false hopes to the workingmen, upon
whom they count to swing the elec.
tions in every debatable district To
the Democratic politicians they are
holding out promises of postmaster
ships and other federal patronage.
They make no mention of the sor.
ava ~ fnlnmaA
last national Democratic triumph ip
this country. They do not tell OF the
popular distress and the destruction Of
manufacturing, commercial and all
other lines OF business brought about
through the enactment of the Demo
cratic tariff bill,
They show no pictures OF the free
soup houses that had to be established
by charitable individuals and, in some
cases by municipalities where thou
sands of men, women and children
were out Of employment for many
months many OF them IN a starving
condition. children without shoes or
clothing. and families evicted foI non.

Pennsylvania voters will be called
upon at the coming election to send
men TO congress who win stand by the
Taft administration and resist every
effort to change or amend the tariff

protect Pennsylvania capital and
Pennsylvania wage-earners
Elect Republicans &c Congress

CUBS ARE WORRIED.
Chances Men Realize They'll Have No
Cinch with the Athletics

With only a few more games needed
70 clinch the National league pennant
the Chicago Cubs are sure of success
in this line, but they are beginning to
worry about the worlds series with
the Philadelphia Athletics. Captain
Chance will not deny that he is weak
er in the pitching department now than
he was three months ago. The Chica
go players say Reulbach is q back
number; that Three Fingered Brown
has lost much of his old effectiveness
and has become an uncertainty, and
that Pfiester. the southpaw. is liza BILE
to go up in the air at any time. and
Mcintyre has not the class to cope
with the great twirlers under Connie
Mack'S wing.
The Chicago players will not deny
that they are depending almost wholly
on Overall. the big Californian. to
stand the bulk of the work on the
mound. with King Cole also counted
on to Go good work. These. two pitch
the Athletics and from now until
the worlds series begins they will be
specially groomed.
We've got to play better ball than
we've been showing, said Chance,
"if we are going to beat the Athletics
We seem to have slumped badly but I
think we will be going right again
in a few days. The worlds series
win not be a snap for US. In fact.
we know we will have to play harder
than ever to beat the Athletics

cussed the situation in general seemed
to wonder whether they could win
against Mack's star hoxmen. Bender,

er. the Cubs just now are not boast
full. On the contrary, they've got their

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
STOCKS PUSHED FORWARD
Which Have Had Little Part in the
Market Lately.

New York, Sept. 30.-The moderate
effect produced on the money market
by the weeks shifting of cash reserves
must be explained by the conditions of
the credit account amongst stock ex-
change commission houses.
Months ago precautionary loans
were taken on time by many houses
In fear that the autumn might develop
a severe Stringency in the money mar
ket. The foresight edness of the brok-
ers, like that of the ba nks, now bears
its fruit and helps to escape the con
sequences which were seen in per
spectlve. The Hstless and indifferent
stock markets have left little demand
for the resources thus made avajla bic
An time loans, and they are put out
again in cali loans to other borrow
efs as demand prices. There must be
so1Ire such explanation for the fact
that caG loan rates on the last day
OF tho quarter today did not get above
3 per cent. in spite of a weeks Outgo
OF cash estimated at ten to twelve mill
lion dollars out of the reserves that
carried an actual surplus of only S17,-
500, 600 last Saturday. The financing
of the sl70, 600 900 dividend and inter
est payments for October is assumed
TO have made large demands upon
bank credits as well this week The
shipments of cash during the week by
express seem to have taken compar-
ataveiy small sum on balance from the
banks, but the S9,913, 600 loss on sub
treasury opera 1ons reflects interior
money demands to = large extent
Drafts on New York banks from inte-
rior correspondents for pawn entS to
the government on account Of internal
revenue taxes have been on large
scale. this being usual incident of
the season of crop moving demand for
currency.
The absence of disturbance in the
call money market left the speculative
movement in stocks free from con-
stratnt on that account. 1t was as

AS usual. Lafayette will have an ex-
cellent backfield. Coach Folwell has
two sets, one as good as the other,
and they are both able defensively.
Houser the Carlisle fullback, prom
ises to be as prominent this fall as
he was last year He kicked a goal
from the field and got one touchdown
in Wednesdays game.
Dittrick and Hooper, two of the best
candidates for the Tufts eleven, will
be obliged to give up football for the
greater part of the season on account
of their studies programme.
Brown will have two good tackles in
Bartlett, the strong boy from Worces-
ter academy. and Smith who has just
studies. Corp. Sisson and Kulp form
the center trio, which gives a strong
line.
Punting and catching Dunts are fea-
lures which will he more importa MT
this season than ever according to
Walter Eckersol1. IF a am is for
tunate enough to have man who can
boot the ball from 50 to 70 yards, such
an eleven is sure TO make a good
showing" he saws He figures that
the short low kicks will give way to
the long and accurate attempts, kicks
that go a great distance and away

Ballou and Pendleton are being drill
ed in drop and place kicking by the
Princeton coaches. Both show signs of
promise. The ends proposition is tick
lish and special attention viii have to
be directed to this department. Brede-
mus is improving at left end and may
be kept there. The guards and tackles
are not filling the bill. but It is ex-
pected that the line will stiffen solidlT
as practice progresses. The Tigers will
have the advantage OF a powerful

says Coach Yost of Michigan The
rules committee didn't legislate any
great innovation into the game when
it abolished the flying tackle; nor did
it make much difference. Why, you
know, I've been trying for more than
ten years to get my men to leave their
feet to tackle. hut they wouldn't do it.
Sometimes they'd do it when they we're
going against this poor stuffed dummy
we have hanging out there. but it
wasn't often that they'd remember
their lessons when a live opponent
had eluded them. So you see that
rule won't hurt us much"

BEST PITCHERS NOT RREEzERs.
Strikeouts Not Essential in Art of
Twirling.

The greater the pitcher the fewer
men he strikes out is usually the rule.
The ordinary run of fans go out to
game when Mullin or loss or Walsh is
pitching ana aye disappointed if the
twirler does not Whit a dozen or
more. There is d reason.
Pitchers who know their business
try to save their salary arms much
as possible To strike out batter
means the delivery of five to eight
balls on an average. The pitcher
may start with a ball and then a
strike. Then another ball may fol-
low. two or three fouls. another ball
and then possibly the third strike.
This requires lots of work and exer-
ton on the muscles. The twirler
who understands the game generally
tries to get the batter to hit to his
fielders.
Take a man like Mullin. He is
happy if he mas TO pitch only three
balls during an inning. Three ground
ers to the infield in rapid succession
save his arm more than the man sit
ting in the bleachers would believe
A game with comparatively little ex-
ertion leaves the pitcher in better con-
dition for the next time he has to
work. That is why you hear the in
1eiders yell out Make him ait it,

GEORGE" They also seek to make
things as easy as possible for the
hurler.
Not long ago Addie Joss of Cleve-
land pitched a nohit game against
the Sox He struck out lew batters.
His knack that day lay in making the
Sox Ground out. His control was so
perfect that many of them pushed
dinky roller straight at him. The
only time when the pitcher really and
truly tries to fan the batter is When
he is in a tight hole. With two out
and the bases full he works his harc-
est to outguess the batter and make
him retire on strikes.
Confidence in the team behind him
has a los to do with the way the great
twirler goes. That is why the high
salaried men on the leading teams
of the country fan fewer than the
pitchers of the weaker teams. For
instance. McIntire does not fan Mali
as many hatters since joining the
Cubs as he die when with Brooklyn.
1t forms a psychological study of rare
interest.
