 With the change in the umpire stair look for the New Haven team to strike the toboggan. says the Hart ford Courant. It is also added that New Haven has not even got a first division club. It has not been the umpires that put the White Wings ing. They have a good pitching staff, fine fielding team, and though the men have not yet started to hit the ball, have managed to gather the hits when they were needed.
 Believe me, it was awful,' said Skipper" Eley, this morning when speaking about the Northampton af- fair. "Fahey was not rubbing it into any one side, but was way off on both. The climax came in the ninth. Hall had been hit with the ball and had been waved to first base. I was at my position at the bat, when all Of sudden Fahey told me to step down, and called Hall back. That was the start. The game was not with the game, but because the peo- pie would not get off the field. It was getting awful with that fellow following us around in every game We wouldn't mind if we had a good man work in the game once in a while, but Fahey all the time work ed on our nerves. It's pleasant reminder to have him away.' Eley remarked that he was glad to have the few days rest. t'I've been playing on one foot for the past week." he said, ''and need the lay off, Eley complains of trouble with the ball of his right foot, and cannot do full justice to himself. The snappy Crescent team of the East End won from the Columbus Boys Club Sunday morning at the East End freight yards 19-S, and are HOW out with challenge to meet the Westerns. To date they have won every game played this season, six in number.
 Manager Eddie Sullivan of the South Ends will take his team to Sunnyside Park, Shelton, Sunday, where they will play the Ansonia team. Some of those who will go up on the trolleys are Heating, Haven feltz, Sawyer, Carter, O'Day, and Bowden. A week from Sunday the South Ends will play the Yosts at Yost Field.

 Hartford, Northampton, Springfield and Bridgeport have made a protest against his working, while the league rules say that an ump cannot be used when four clubs protest him. He quit before he was asked to quit.
 Joe Kustus with a little luck in his hitting today will join the select class. Joe got off with a bad start, but within the last week he has been leaning up against the ball in snappy. manner. At present his aver age is .296. :

They are little down-heart- ed about the fines that have been them with a vengeance in the way they will play their games from now on. Captain Skipper" Eley's suspen- sion will start today. It is probable that Kccher will be used in the out field, as he is quite handy man with the ash, and that Pat McCauley will work behind the bat in the next few games.

the public administration is a disease
that has infected the political order by
contagion from corrupt private bust
ness. Thus it is an impudent affecta-
ton on the part of Mr. Aldrlch to as
sumo that the plenipotentiary of the
trusts can teach the nation economy.
That the trusts are as wasteful in
their internal administration as they
are p.~odigal of the peoples wealth is
an open secret that needs only air.
The notion that the great private
monopolies are models of productive
economy is satire upon the economic
ignorance of the time.
private business may be admirable
in its management until it reaches the
point of monopoly. But in passing
that point it bids good-by TO all the
rules of economy and efficiency. Hence
forth high honor and promotion among
the officers and employees of the con
Germ are not to be hoped for by those
who have only administrative ability
and technical skill to offer. The high

trust go not to productive economists,
but to commercial politicians

1t is the progressive Republican
voter and not the progressive Republi-
can Congressman who is going to make
trouble for the President and all his
allies when the November ballots be-
gin to fall The progressive Congress
man is only the humble servant of the
progressive voter The said Congress
man smilingly listens to the rebukes of
Taft and the revilings of Cannon, well
knowing that if he bends the knee or
supplies the backbone to win their
favor his master at home will dismiss
him without a blessing
The country is fast coming to the
conviction that the President and all
the influences that are behind Aldrich
and Cannon have deliberately elected
to accept overwhelming defeat this
year rather than fulfill the promises
and pledges of two years ago. What
they propose or expect to do after this
deluge is as yet a dark secret. But
the outraged voters know what they
are going 70 do. The spring ava

roads to own or control city, suburban
or interurban electric roads did not
originate in the mind OF the president
or his attorney generaL but it appears
in the Cummins-Clapp minority report
to the Senate 1t is furthermore worth
making a memorandum of the fact
that the attack on the provision of the
bill authorizing one road to buy up
the stock of another was led by one OF
the Minnesota insurgent Congressman
of whom Mr. Taft spoke unkindly at
Winona, and that Speaker Cannon's
Committee on Interstate Commerce
sustained him by vote of seventeen
to one.
1t is not easy to believe that these
progressive changes in the bill are
wholly distasteful to the House lead
ers Of the regular Republican organi-
cation. 1t may be presumed that
Speaker Cannon chose the members OF
this committee with care, and that the
majority of them represent the views
of himself and his associates. Proba-

LIVES MADE UP OF HOPE.

Understudfes Always Waiting for
Someone to "Step Out"
In the theatrical world, an under
study may be termed an individual
whose life is made up of hope, says
writer. Opportunity may be brought
ever so near by illness or inability, but
1t usually eludes the understudy at the
last, and she goes way back and sits
down in the wings and continues to
watch the part
No restoratives or tonic has yet
been put on the market that will re-
juyenate dying star like the thought
of another woman playing her part.
She will loan her understudy money,
clothes. jewels and sweethearts, but
nothing short of the icy grip of death
will make her let go of the part she
created.
There have been so small a percent
age of understudies that have been
given the preference that they can
hardly be reckoned as ever existing.
1t has often happened, however, that
the creditable performance of an I'M
derstudy has brought her to the notice
of manager, who has recognized her
ability and made a decided mental
note of it. That is the hope of the I'M
derstudy when she plays the part-not
to Guido her predecessor, but to win
a place and part Fer herself, and the
opportunity comes so seldom to her

into her character.
The understudy knows when she
goes on for the first time in a part
made famous by clever actress that
she. has not only her own nervousness
to overcome, but the nervousness of
everyone who has scene with her.
The slightest change In pronunciation
or even infection will sometimes dis
tract company which has become ac-
customed to the voice and mannerisms
of the principal.
Even though she does her best, the
understudy feels that she has more or
less of a thankless task Her time for
winning laurels is usually so short
and so suddenly thrust upon her that
she has little time for outside man
ayers to see her ability or the press to
speak kindly of it. In short, the life
of the understudy, whether male or
female. is very much like that of the
chorus man in one particular They
are always waiting for. some one to
step out and a chance to jump in be-
fore an outsider with stronger pull
can walk in and assume the character
of their study and dreams.
Understudies in the theatrical world
are also like the fellow at the end
of the bread line He will get his loaf,
If he waits long enough and the loaves
hold out, that is, provided in the mean
time he does not give up or starve to
death.

The rocky road for Taft

Anc ROCKY hOAQ TOT I41t.
The Taft policies are roughly joited
when a committee of the House edits
and amends one of his favorite meas
ures by making in it the Identical
changes recommended by two of the
foremost insurgents in the Senate.
This is just what the House Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce has done to the presidents rail-
road bill.
What Senators Cummons of Iowa
ard Clapp of Minnesota could not per-
suade the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce to do, the House com
mittee has done without their persua-
sion. The Senate committee reports
the bill just as the president and At
torney General Wickersham drafted it.
The House committee, by practically
unanimous vote. declares that the pro-
gressiye Republicans in the Senate
were right in demanding radical
changes
The House committee. appointed by
Uncle Joe Cannon, be it remembered,
frowns upon the presidents plan to
permit a railroad company owning so
per cent or more of the stock in an
other road to complete its control by
buying it all, and that provision is
stricken out. Progressive ideas are
further adopted in the provision for.
bidding director in one railroad
company to serve in the directorate OF
another.
The provision put into the bill by
the House committee forbidding steam

Rats md Rat KILLERS.

Among the natural enemies of rats
are the larger hawks and owls, skunks,
foxes, coyotes, weasels, minks, dogs,
cats and ferrets. Probably the great
est factor in the increase of rats, mice
and other destructive rodents in the
United States has been the persistent
killing off of the birds and mammals
that prey upon them. Animals that
on the whole are decidedly beneficial.
since they subsist upon harmful in
sects and rodents, are habitually de-
stroyed by some farmers and sports
men because they occasionally kill a
chicken or a game bird.
The value of carnivorous animals
and the larger birds of prey in destroy
ing rats should be more fully recog-
nized, especially by the farmer and
the game preserYer. Rats actually de-
stroy more poultry and game, both
eggs and young chicks, than all the
birds and wild mammals combined, yet
some of our most useful birds of prey
and carnivorous mammals are perse-
cuted almost to the point of extinction.
An enlightened public sentiment
should cause the repeal of all bounties
on these animals and afford protection
to the majority of them.
Rats are wild beasts, and are among
mans worst enemies There should
be incessant and uncompromising war
against hem.

Why the Government Wastes It's
Millions.
If the United States government
wastes 100000 a years. Senator
Aldrich says-he is the man of all men
to know the reason why.
In calling attention to the fact he is
like the prudent porch-climber, who
diverts suspicion by ringing a doorbell
to say, Sir, your window is Unmatched.
1t is the role of all the fat monopol-
lists that this gentleman represents
to affect to be marvellous masters OF
business economy. They are aiming,
through Mr.. Aldrieh. to forestall and
discredit the governments right to con-
troll their great corporations-by per-
suading the people that the govern
ment is hopeless incompetent in BUSH
ness, and that they, and they alone
out of the goodness of their hearts
are able to introduce little order and
efficiency into public affairs.
Now, the truth is that the admins
tration of the government departments
-wasteful as it isis infinitely less
wasteful than the rule of the great
monopolies-w whether the wastes OF
that rule be considered from the out.
side or the inside of the trusts. And
