BORAH IS OPPOSED
TO RECIPROCITY

Telegraphic dispatches from
ashington, state that on Wednes-
day. June % Senator Borah conclu.
ded three hours speech against
Canadian reciprocity. 1t was the
most bitter arraignment that has
yet been made upon the floor of the
senate against this measure. Sena-
tor Borah quoted from Blaine,
Reed, Mckinley and other lepubli-
can leaders showing that reciprocity
with Canada would inevitably work
to the detriment of the American
farmer and any producer and to the
advantage of the Canadian farmer.
Turning to the republican senators
supporting reciprocity, Senator
Borah challenged them 'here and
now to state their reasons and in
fiuences which caused them to
abandon the American producer and
the American farmer after they had
for 40 years pledged him their sup
port. He urged that if this bill did
not reduce the price to the Amerl-
can farmer it could not reduce the
price to the American consumer,
and, even if it did reduce the price
of products of American farmers, it
would not reduce the price to the
consumer so long as trusts and
combinations IN this country were
left In absolute control of the
American market. .........,..... 80.

THE EXAMINER OFFERS
AN HUMBLE APO! OGY

The Examiner has been threatened
with libel suit the past week, and
the editor escaped a threshing only
by making an humble apology. As
our trouble is not over yet, we hasten
to make another apology to one who
was unjustly misrepresented in last
weeks issue. The trouble came about
in getting names mixed In the ac-
count of the Masonic picnic. We
stated that Bill Hunter defeated Lew
Leverich in the fat mans race, when
Lew wasn't in the race at all. This
mis-statement, together with Lewis
belief that he can easily beat Hunter
in 5n-yard dash, naturally made
him sore. With our promise to square
things this week, Lew decided not to
file suit against the paper nor to lick
the editor.
The contestants i'm the fat mans
race were Pete Olsen and Bill Hunter
and Pete was an easy winner. We
know that Pete must have felt sore
that we had left him out, and we have
been living in fear and trembling
ever since last Friday, that Pete
would come down and wipe up the
earth with u.s. for having robbed
him of an honor which he so Justly
earned. But "honor bright" Pete,
we didn't do it a purpose, and the
only ecxuse We have to offer for hav-
ing made such a mistake is. that
when the race was pulled off we were
down at the creek bathing our ferv-
ored brow and otherwise trying to
recuperate from the effects of the bali
game between the fats and the leans.
and some how or other we got 1t into
our 'noggIn" that the race was be-
tween Hunter and Leverich.
With this apology and statement of
facts we trust that Leverich and
Olsen will forgive us-the former for
iniuring his reputation as sprinter
by publishing to the world that he
wfs defeated by Bill Hunter when In
vet Bill isn't in his class at-all, and
the latter for falling to let the public
know that he won the race. and .hjsan,t :

CASEY COME BACK.
lBy Grantland Rlce-Approved BY Popular clalnor.l

There were saddened hearts in Mudvlllt
for week or even more;
There were muttered oaths and curses
every fan in town was sore;
just think" said one, how soft il
looked with Casey at the bat.
And then to think he'd go and spring
bushleague trick like thatv'
His past fame was forgotten now-he
was a hopeless shine;
They called him ''Strike-out Casey"
from the mayor down the line;
And as he came to bat each day his
bosom heaved sigh
While a look of hopeless fury shown
in mighty Casey's eye.
He pondered on the days gone by when
he had been their king.
That when he sauntered to the plate
they made the welkin ring;
But now his nerve had vanished-for
when he heard them hoot
He famed" or popped out" daily
like some minor league recruit.
He soon began to sulk and loaf-his
batting eye went lame;
No home runs on the score card now
were chalked against his name;
The fans without exception gave the
manager no peace,
For one and all kept clamoring for
Casey's quick release.
The Mudville squad began to slump
the team was in the air;
Their playing went from bad TO worse
nobody seemed to care;
Back to the woods with Casey" was
the cry from Rooters' Row,
Get some one who can hit the ball
and let the big dub gor'
The lane is long, some one has said,
that never turns again.
And fate, though tickle, often gives an
other chance to men;
And Casey smiled; his rugged face No

The pitcher who had started all the
trouble came to town.
All Mudville had assembled thous
and fans had come.
To see the twirler who had put old
Casey on the bum;
And When he stepped into the box the
multitude went wild;
He doffed his hat in proud disdain- but
Casey only smiled.
"Play Balll'-the umpires voice rang
out, and then the game began
But in that throng of thousands there
was not single fan
Who thought that Mudville had
chance, and with the setting sun
Their hopes sank low-the rival team

WILL TEST LEGALITY
OF ROAD TAX LAW

The road tax law enacted by the
last legislature will be te ested in the
courts by the city of Boise. In
commenting upon the law and the
determination of the Boise officials
to test its legality, Mayo Fitchman
said:
1.-The law is an abomination in
my opinion, and / intend to do
everything in my power to knock
it out. In this | have the hearty
co. operation of those associated with
me in the administration of the af-
fairs of the city.
"There will be els, 900 to $780,.
900 collected as road tax es in Boise
if the law stands, but not a cent of
it will go to assist in maintaining
the roads in the city. 1t will be
expended under the antiquated sys-
tenn that has continued bad roads In
the country.
81 am strongly oppo osed to it
The city of Boise propo ses to as

law. 1t Gel tainly is mighty poor
policy to have gumshoe collectors,

from all classes, girls earning but a

MONTPELIER WINS z
OUT OF 3 GAMES

The McCammon Independents re.
turned home Tuesday evening,
having dropped two of the three ball
game to the Home Guards. Sundays
game was one of the liveliest ever
played on the local diamond and re
suited in victory for the home team
by score of 3 to 0. Lawrence
Spongberg occupied the slab for the
home team and pitched his best
game of the season. The boys were
right up on their toes" throughout
the game and gave Larry good
support. Several times it looked as
though the visitors were going to
score, but each time their man ''died'
on third base. -.---~
Mondays game was a rather spec
tacular exhibition, and the visitors
had the game "cinched" up to the
last half of the ninth inning, when
a streak of luck hit the home team
and something like eight men crossed
the home plate, and gave them the
game by a score of 10 to IA.
The game opened with Morris Day
in the box, but was succeeded in the
second inning by Carl Spongberg.
The Fourth of July game was wit
messed by the largest crowd that ever
gathered on home grounds. 1t was a
pretty clean and snappy game up to
the ninth inning, with the score
standing to Q in favor of the visitors
when they got a batting streak on
them and it looked for a time as If
they We're never going to quit pillng
up scores, and when the agony finally
ended the score stood Is to in their
favor.
A pleasing feature of these games
was the lack of wrangling, only two
or three decisions of Umpire Bourne
being questioned at all, and they
were quickly settled.
AS these teams have played four
games, with a credit of two games to
each team, 1t is to hoped the Grub
ber'' will be played in the near fut-
ure.
No are games scheduled on the
home grounds at present, and the
only games Manager Sneddon has
booked now are two with the Poca-
tello Indians at Pocatello on July 80
and 80.

COUNCIL ORDERS
CEMENT WALKS

The council met last night with
the mayor and all councilmen pres
ent except Lewis. The annual ap.
portionment and appropriation
ordinances were passed. The side
walk question was then taken up
and after considerable discussion it
was decided that it was about time
that some of the rotten walks about
town were replaced with new cement
walks. A resolution was therefore
passed ordering new walks laid along
the streets as described below and
that work be commenced within
forty days:
That five foot cement walks be
laid on the west side of Tenth street
north TO Lincoln avenue; on both
sides of Lincoln avenue between
Eighth and Tenth streets; on the
west side of Ninth street bet ween
Lincoln and Clay, on both sides of
Ninth street from Lincoln south to
city limits; on the west side of
Eighth, between Lincoln and Jack
son; also an eight foot walk on the
north side of Washington avenue,
between Fourth and Eighth streets,
The council adjourned to meet
again tonight at which time all bills
against the city will be allowed.

The last half of the ninth came round
with no change in the score;
But when the first man up hit safe tn.
crowd began to roar;
The din increased, the echo Of tet
thousand shouts was heard
When the pitcher hit the second and
gave -four balls" to the third.
Ihree men on base nobody out-three
runs to tie the game;
But here the rally ended and the gloom
was deep as night
When the fourth one ''fouled to catch
er" and the fifth ''flew out to right. =
A dismal groan in chorus came; a scowl
was on each face
When Casey walked up, bat in hand
and slowly took his place:
His bloodshot eyes in fury cleaned y
his teeth were clenched in hate; \
tie gave his cap vicious hook and
pounded on the plate.
But fame is fieeting as the wind and
glory fades away;
There were no wild and woody cheers
no glad acclaim that day;
They hissed and groaned and hooted as
they clamored Strike him out!o
But Casey gave no outward sign that
he, had heard their shout.
The pitcher smiled and cut one loose
across the plate it Sped
Another hiss-another groan-"s Strike
onel" the umpire sail;
Zipl like shot the second curve broke
just below the knee;
Strike two" the umpire roared aloud
but Casey made no plea.
No roasting for the umpire now-his
was an easy lot;
But here the pitcher whirled again
was that rifle shot?
A whack, a crack, and out through
space the leather pellet flew
A blot against the distant sky-a speck
against the blue.
Above the fence in center field, in rapid
whirling fight
The sphere sailed on-the blot grew
diln-and then was lost to sight;
Ten Thousand hats were thrown In the
air, ten Thousand threw a fit-
But no one ever found the ball that
mighty Casey hit.
Q somewhere in this favored land dark
clouds may hide the sun;
And somewhere bands no longer play
and children have no fun;
And somewhere over Diighted lives
there hangs heavy pail;
But Mudville's on Joy Ride now,
FOR CASEY HIT THE BALL.
