Connie Mack wore his usual
bland smile after yesterdays
game, hut when he was asked re-
garding his team he shut up like
a clam. All that could he got out
Of him was:
"Yes, I'm satisfied and glad we
won. 1t was a great gnme, and
means much to us. 1 felt that my
men were fit for a good game,
and they showed it."
"HOw about tomorrow" Connie
was asked.
"Say, now, didn't Bender show
that he had the gO0dss" Ii the
way. the Athletics leader evaded
the question. "I will not say
anything about the team. 1 don't
know who will pitch tomorrow,
and I don't know who will be In
the Outfeld. I'm liable to shift
my men about some, and have not
made up my mind what I'll do.
We Will be there ready for the
Cubs, however, and. while 1 know
they are good, 1 think we will be
all right"

Farmers are Against Change
in Politics.

"Thc farmers Of Central Kansas
are not missing any of the political
discussions" said Charles Moreau
Harger, editor of the Abilene, Kas.,
Reflector, dean of journalism of the
Kansas University, who was at the
Baltimore last evening on his way
TO New Orleans.
"They have been taking lively
interest in the relation of business
conditions 10 the sale ef their pro-
ducts, and those who consider the
motter seriously do not want to see
any ohange made that will lower the
pries of what they have to sell.
"One farmer was in my Office
last week and took from his pocket
trade cheek given him by local
merchant That represents a dol
lar he said, 'and l gave for it just
halt what would have given four
years ago. Yet can get just as
much merchandise of the kind l
have to buy. 1t looks like pretty
good proposition to me to have
things as they are now, and anybody
who proposes to make change
that will affect business can't get
my vote.
That is the attitude of the think
ing farmers and it is very likely that
there will bs surprise for ssme of
the extremists who are predicting a
revolution. ust now the people
not talking politics very much
they are too busy putting in big
cora acreage. And improvements?
Why, every farmer in Dickinso 1
cosnty, nearly, is doing something
to make his farm better and his
dwelling more convenient.
"They want few more years of
just the kind of eanditions that exist
now, and they will not be dependent
on anybody. This year, with a
short wheat crop, as there will be in
Central Kansas. they especially
want high prices, and are against a
change on that business proposition

The Free Trade College Pro
fessor Speaks.

Prof. Woodrow Wilson, in re-
cent attack upon the protective sys'
tenn, says among other things, that
"wages in Germany, considering
the difference in cost of living ia
that country compared with the cost
In the United States, ara probably
as high as they are in this country"
1t is evident that the learned pro-
fssser is trying to make facts to mt
his theories. Manifestly he has not
read the annual report of President
Gempsrs to the American Fedora
ten Of Labor. Mr.. Gompers is
not protection advocate. He was
not making an argument in favsr or
against protection in the report
which he made to the organization
of which he is the head. He was
dealing with facts as he found them
after aa investigation into cendi-
tions in this country and In the In
dustrial countries of Europe. He
showed, among other things, that
wages in Germany, the highest
wages, are about half, and in many
instances about one third, what they
are in the United States; that the
cost of the same kind of living
which the worker in the United
States enjays is higher In Germany
than in this country. Anc hnally
as bearing directly upon the cost OF
living question. Mr.. Gompers de-
clarsd in concluding his report;
If the emigrant to this country Is
willing to continue living here at
the same level he was obliged to &C
cept in his native land, he can find
it for the same money.
Let that statement, coming as 1t
does from an authority that certain
Iy is not prejudlced in favor of the
protective system, stands against
the assertion of the college profes-
sor. and at the same time serve as
an answer to those who are cor
stantly claiming that the cost OF
living is higher in this country than
in Europe and for that reason the
higher wages are no compensation
to the workers. Economist.

Roosevelt.

Ex. President Roosevelt has Gre
ated more stir in the old world and
received more attention and honors
from all classes than has ever been
accorded to any other American
citizen. Even Grant in his tour Of
the world, after having conquered
the South and served as president,
did not receive the many marks of
distinction that have been accorded
this American IN private life.
Roosevelt must be a most won-
derful man or a superb advertiser.
We are of the opinion that he is
both. He seems 70 do things and
does not put his ligh, under a
bushel. He is clearly the greatest
and most popular man of the age.
Cordially hated by his enemies and
adored by his friends, unpopular
with the politicians because of his
arbitrary ways but deeply enshrined
in the hearts of the people because
they believe him honest and sin
cere, Roosevelt will return this
summer frem his year abroad with
all the honors foreign powers and
foreign people know how to bestcw
and stronger in the hearts of his
own people than ever before.
Roosevelt will be a great factor lD
the next Presidential campaign.
We do not think he will be a candi.
date unless contingencies arse that
seem to demand it.
But should those contingencies
arise he will be the man to whom
all eyes will turn, and he wil not
disappoint the people. The world
has confidence IN Roosevelt and the
American people admire him above
any other man.

slstent that the present tariff law is
responsible for the increased cost of
living appear to forget the fact that
the nncessaries of life upon which
the tariR was reduced by the present

increased in cost, while the cost of

increased has remained the same as

The Tariff.

present tariff law.
A good deal of the kicking seems
to come from Republicans. The
same thing happened when the
Mckinley law was passed. You
can well remember the woeful
stories the Democratic campalgners
made over that law. They had US
taxed from "the cradle to the
grave" and made enough people
believe the cry to elect Democratic
majority in congress.
Mckinley himself being one Of
the defeated candidates.
The same onslaugh is being
made On the present bill, not SO
much by Democrats as by
Republicans who are fighting their
battles for them and making
Democratic thunder every day.
We do not like some features abeu!
the bill little bit, but we think as a
whole it is a good law and that we
ought 10 give it fair try out before
we condemn it in toto, We think
it will be found to contain more
good than bad. Any way 1t was
the best that could be had at the
time. One great thought in the
bill was to raise more revenue, as
the government was getting low on
funds. In fact our expenses were
constantly exceeding our income.
Such business methods would
finally bankrupt the richest nation
on earth. We note the tide has
already turaed under the new law
and our income has at last become
larger than the outgo.
The corporations and truss
evidently got the better end of The
deal on some of the schedules. Ii
ie time the people quit sending
corporation lawyers to congress.
They will work for their employ
ers and against the interests of the
people.
Let as turn such fellows out as
fast as possible and amend abnox
ious schedules. We are hcartily
In favor of that but would tremble
for the lnterests of the people to
see these desired reviSionS turned
over to Democratic Congress.
After the people had time to study
the Mckinley law and watch its
workings, they found it was pretty
good law after all.
Yet 1t received mach more abuse
than has the Payne bill.
Who knows but this new law may
work the same way and that we may
find in practical uss that it is
pretty good bill after all.
We must coneede that the maxi
mum and minimum rates provision
is bringing foreign nations TO their
senses very rapidly and that we now
have granted US by all the leading
tariff nations much more favorable
export provisions than before.
The effort to make the people
believe that the great advance in
prices is caused by the tariff bill is
absolutely silly In view of the well
demonstrated faets.
Farm products, on whieh the
greatest advance has been have not
had their schedule advanced. In
many cases the duty was lowered.

scientific tastes. Men of such diversity of qualities are rare. Lord Avebury, pet- ter known as Sir John Lubbock, is one. Perhaps the distinguished Englishman' however. should be regarded as banker primarily and only incidentally writer and deyotee of entomology. Alexander Agassiz, on the other hand, was essen tially a scientist, and only incidentally business man.
 Except for the rich return for his in dustry in developing the copper deposits of Upper Michigan, perhaps MT Agassiz might not have felt at liberty to apply himself as he did to the study of marine life The pursuits which engaged most of his time and thought are rather un- remunerative in a pecuniary sense. The average college professor is seldom or never worthily paid. It has been as- serted-perhaps truthfully-that years ago the chef at Young hoter in Bos- ton, had salary twice as large as that of the president of Harvard The ex- pense of some of the investigations con ducted by the younger Agassiz was met by the national government or by private individuals, but the chief compensation the naturalist received was the knowl- edge he secured. Without independent means of his own, possibly, he might not have yielded to his real preferences However that may be, his fortune re- lieved him of all financial care. and en- abled him to make munificent gifts to Harvard and to contribute generously to many philanthropies-

company while last year was the Smoky City shortstop's thirteenth in major league service. By the records we find that Cobb led the American league in batting in 1907 and again In 1909, beating Wagner by two points with an average of 1852 in the first in stance and coming out 36 points ahead of the National league champion last year, with an average of .S7f. The Pittsburger has been a batting cham pion seven times in IS years. Of stolen bases Cobb had S1 last year to Wag- ner's 35. The great shortstop's best record In pilfering was made with 6l ba ses In 1907. M
 But Comiskey is not judging by sta tistics alone. Cobb Is a better ball player today than he was two years ago" he says. and 'he will be a better player this year than he was last The blond fielder from Georgia Is great player for first and most inn portant reason that he loves the game" Comiskey is sure he would play ball if he had to pay Instead of being paid.
 From another source we learn or Cobb's ambition. "I hope" said he one day last season, 'T will some day be the player Wagner Is" Which gives it's own touch to very pretty and popular controversy.

Greatest Baseball Player

From the NeW 1UrK W WUrTu.
 Who Is the greatest ball player of all time "Ty Cobb of Detroit" answers Comiskey, veteran captain in baseball, thereby making sure of a lively dis pute to go with the early pennant- chasing days of 1910 Already we see the partisans of Hans Wagner sitting up and taking notice. And their name is legion. while not by any means do they live all In Pittsburg.
 To compare Cobb with Wagner is something like chasing a young colt against seasoned racer The Detroit player has been but four years in fast
