Recently there came out Of Pitts
burg a startling story that three
members of the Pirates had been in a
battle a la Jeffries-J Johnson. Accord
ing to the story Hans Wagner and
Miller, second baseman, had jumped
on to Jack Flynn, guardian of the in
itial sack, and both got licking from
the former st. Paul captain.
Was it denied? Everybody, denied
It Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pirates, used the uglier and shorter
word IN denying It. Fred Clarke, man
ager, declared there wasn't a word of
truth to the story. Wagner growIed
out denial. Miller said he never
heard Of it. Few fans are willing to
place Wagner in the role of a trouble
maker.
Then came Flynn. 81 didn't lick

this boy ever been injured In the

recently?
"I did not then know about the

doctor said 1t seemed to him that an
injury to the brain had turned Willie

to be a soldier Then he wanted to
go into the navy. have mother-in-
law in New York, and we thought to
change Willie's mind by letting him go
up to the city. He went. A few days
afterward he started home. At Eliza
beth he missed the last train and
started to walk.
Eat two o'clock the next morning he
walked into the ticket Office of the
Roselle railway station when the
agent was out for minute. Willie
was picking up tickets by the hand
full when the agent returned. My boy
made no attempt to get away. The
next day in jail he would not believe

station. When they finally convinced
him his modification was dreadful.
He could remember nothing. They
believed his story and sent him home.

and-ten-cent store in Somerville, not
minding the dozens OF persons who
stood about and watched him, and

New York.-Ffnding burglar In
her bedroom at 296 Delaney street,
Mrs. Dora Gieteman attacked him. He
fed to the kitchen, the woman follow

cape, and Mrs. Gieteman grabbed him
by the collar. She beat him over the
head with a heavy iron cuspidor.
The thief's only thought seemed to
be escape. He backed toward win

pin and dealt him sounding blow in
the face.
Over a low window sill the man
toDpled backward, stunned. He fell
four stories and was killed.

Gratch was searching Gieteman's

Baseball players bats differ In size
and shape as much as the players do
In physique. And the strangest part
of it is that many of the big fellows
use a small, well-shaped war club,

Baseball Is a national institution.
It's about the only sporting game we
have left in which the people have
absolute confidence It's almost the
only game which the betting has not
spoiled. It Is the only professional
game in the world where the players
hired men, every one of 'em-play
with the spirit and the snap and the
dash of amateurs who really want to
win. When baseball takes on the faint
Of the gamblers money its days will
be numbered, but the game has come
out clean so far and long may it con-
tinue in the same way.
Baseball is a national benefaction.
It takes a lot of men out of their Of
fees stuffy afternoons and makes
them breathe fresh air and get little
healthy exercise for their vocal chords.
A man was meant to yell once in a
while. He was meant to jump up and
down and bang his neighbor's straw
hat down over his ears and let out
a few healthy sentiments when the
umpire-poor, blind old man-misses
that third strike by mile and calls it
a ball when every man with eyes in
his head knows the batter is out.
Thirty years ago we counted base
ball spectators by the hundred. Only
little while before they could be
counted by the score. About ten years
ago we began to count spectators by
the thousand It has gone to the mil
lion mark now. All records are COM
pletely upset, and are likely not only
to remain so, but to be worse upset.
Millions can be accommodated now
where there was only room for hun
dreds 80 years ago.

FREE WOOL AGAIN?
is THAT WHAT FARMERS OF THE
COUNTRY WANT2
Short Looking Over of Conditions
That Prevailed When the Demo-
Gratis Were in Power viii
Just Now Be Profitable.

The last time the Democrats were
in power in the United States they
carried out their Free Trade threat
and put wool on the free list. The
sheep industry of America was de-
stroyed, wool sold for ten cents
pound and farmers took what they
could get for their sheep. A dollar
head was the top price. And yet
no man, woman or child got yard
OF wooden cloth or a suit of woolen
clothes a penny cheaper. The effect
all. The farmers of Missouri, and
every other sheep-raising state, lost
millions of dollars and nobody re-
ceived any benefit. One of the Demo-
Gratis who helped bring about that
disaster of fifteen years ago was
Champ Clark, of Missouri, the pres
ent leader of his party, and he now
declares that he learned nothing
from the awful lesson of free wool.
On the 21st day of last May, while
he was making a speech in the House
of Representatives, assailing the Re
publican policy of Protection and an
nouncing to the country what he and
his party would do if again entrusted
with power, Mr.. Nicholas Longworth,
of Ohio, interrupted him as follows:
Then, if | understand the gentle
man, he is in favor of no duty on any
article of wool or its products"
Mr. Clark replied:
81 think it would be a blessing to
the American people II it was all
wiped out on that schedule"
When he made that remark his
Democratic colleagues in the House
of Representatives the men who will
write tariff law if given the chance
to do so, greeted it with great ap-
plause.
What do the farmers think of it?
In the years 1898 to 1897, when we
had free wool, there was no applause
on the Democratic side, or anywhere
else. There was only distress and
suffering.

in 1871 there were 25,O0O,O0O sheep

trainers OF the German tariff thought
they were doing the right thing when
they discouraged the stock raiser,

the advantage gained by the manu-

set by the higher price Of meat IN
Germany. F'locks Of sheep, aggre-
eating 25.000.0O0. produced an enor-

How Will You Vote?

The Republican candidate for con-
gress in this district believes in pro-
lection. Every voter knows that in
congress he will resist to the utmost
every Democratic effort to destroy
protection and return to Democratic
free trade, or, worse yet. the tariff
for revenue system.
The Democratic candidate for
congress in this district does not be-
lieve in protection, but in free trade,
or, worse yet, the tariff for revenue
system. Every voter knows that in
congress he would count one in every
Democratic assault upon the Republic
an principle of protection.
We tried the Democratic system in
the four awful years from 1893 to
1897.
We have had protection and prosper
ity since that time.
Patriotism, as well as personal in
terests and the interests of the wife
and children, points out the Repub-
lican path of duty.

He Is a Republican.

Congressman Charles n. Fowler, of
New Jersey, failed of denomination
last week but he isn't sulking He
has issued a statement in which he
says that he cheerfully acquiesces in
the peoples action. Il am a Repub-
lican," he says. Indeed. / allow no
man to go before me in loyal devo-
tion to the fundamental principles of
the Republican party; and therefore
| shall continue to fight for those prin-
ciples in the future as in the past
within the ranks Of the Republican
party"
That's the way TO talk. The ques-
ton now is, as President Taft puts it.
whether we shall have in the national
house Of representatives a Republican
or a Democratic majority. Principles
are greater than men. To uphold Re-
publican principles, all Republicans
must subordinate Individual opinions
and work together. That sort of ac-
ton means success The only alterna-
tive Is a Democratic victory.

OBJECT LESSON FOR AMERICA
Wall From Free Trade England Should
Be of Interest to the Voter
Just Now.

Bread in London is up one cent
loaf (of four pounds). New price IL
cents loaf for ordinary, 13 cents for
best quality, by agreement of the Lon
don Master Bakers Protective society.
In England the bakers business Is in
deep distress and throughout the
United Kingdom skilled bakers are
starving-New York Press.
And this in free trade England,
where for many years the cheap loaf"
has been the fraudulent free trade
cry. There is no tariff there to put
up the price of bread. 1t would have
been better if there had been a tariff
on farm products, for then British ag-
riculture would have thrived instead
of almost disappearing as q produc-
tive industry, leaving the United
Kingdom almost breadless, except for
what the rest of the world could sup
ply. AS the case stands, bread is
high; the cheap loaf" is no longer
cheap; dwindled to point where
British bakers are starving, robbed by
free trade of employment and wages,
are going without bread. Has the tar
iff done this? Hardly, since there is
no tariff in Great Britain on wheat or
| -four. No; it is not the tariff, but
| free trade that has brought all this
starvation and misery.

Think II Over.

Democrats talk as If the country
were on the verge of ruin.
Is it?
Wages were never higher.
Our factories were never buster
Our railroads never had a greater
mileage or larger number of locomo-
tives and cars in use every minute of
the day and night
There never were so few idle men.
Farmers never had so good mar
ket for the products of their farms.
Prosperity never was more marked
or more general.
Where is the distress?
Where are the soup houses?
Where are the Coxey's armies?
What industry is on the decline?
What workingman who wants work
fails TO find it?
