"There is one repellent feature
in too many Socialists: they are
fully convinced that those who do
not agree with them are either
knaves or fools. The Socialist
press indures this impression and
it does not facilitate the growth of
the party. One may be mistaken
and yet not be fool; he may
cling to long trained belief and
yet not be rogue"
Granted, Bro. AXE; and yet it
seems to me that if you we're an
occupant of a boat adrift on the
Niagara river, above the falls, and
that if there were a dozen other
occupants and they were all
asleep or oblivious Of the common
danger, that you would strive
with all your might to waken
',them to the danger of the situa-
ton; and if they didn't wake up
and heed your warning you might
become impatient in your zeal to
save their lives and yours; you
might become rude and unkind in
your endeavor to convince them
that they were in great and immi-
nent danger. Forgive US, Bro.
AXE, we might allow you to go
over the falls asleep, but we need
you to help save the boat and in
cidentalIy to save our own pre-
cious hides.
We are being skinned to
finish, Bro. AXE, and we are tired
of parting with our cuticle, and if
we become rude, at times, forgive
us. What we want to do, what
every intelligent Socialist wants
to do, is to induce everybo ody te
study Socialism. We don't al
ways use the best methods,
know, but to err is human, to for.
give is divine.
The road seems so plain, too
that we sometimes forget how
long it took us to make up ou
own minds to break away from
J old political ties that have chal
lenged our love for a lifetime
But is our ship of state in danger
Observe the signs of the times
The daily press has become
servile tool in the hands of plu
tocracy. United States Senators
if favorable to wealth, may b,
seated, although elected by brib
cry.
We are practicing imperialism
in the PHILIPPINES and we have al
} army massed on the borders o
J Mexico, ready to strike when the
, interests of wealth demand tina
the blow shall fall. Our citizen
: may be arrested without the form

MADISON MAY
LOSE A GAME

An example Of the alertness Of
President Abrahams OF the Semi
League, is shown when It becomes
known that Madison may lose its Sat
urday games with Marshallton.
Very near all the games in this
locality were played on Saturday. de-
spite the previous two or three rainy
days. II appeared at the time that
the Madison -Marshallton games we're
called off by agreement.
Investigation. however, gives an
other view of the matter. It now
seems that Manager McCully waited
for the Madison crowd, and to satisfy
his fans, played a scrub game. II
therefore looks as II Madison took II
upon themselves to fail to appear, as
did Merwick in the All-Wilmington
League, and must accordingly bear
the consequence.
The president has given Manager
Bayard McKenney, Of the Madison
team. until Thursday morning to file
reasons why a decision should not be
made against him.

TRI-STATERS
in POST SERIES
Reading Trenton VIII Nix Up
In Nine Game Series Be-
ginning Saturday
LANCASTER IN TWO
DOUBLE HEADERS HERE

Trenton and Reading will meet in
seven or nine game series after the
end Of the Tri-State season and the
first game will be played Saturday
afternoon at Trenton, according to the
present dope The final agreement
was made Friday, although both clubs
had decided on the series some time
ago.
The rivalry existing between the
clubs all season is the cause for the
series.
The Tigers are staunch In their
opinion that they have II on the
Pretzels in spite of the fact that
Reading is the pennant winner Of
1911. Trenton points to the great
hitting OF the club and also 20 the
fact that It has been unfortunate all
season In pitchers not being In shape.
As the club now lines up the wise
men in baseball think the Jersey men
have Il on the crack aggregation from
the land of william Penn and ara
willing TO bet their money that way.
The clubs will play for a purse Of
$1,000 and the gate receipts. The
purse is made up OF small wagers on
the part of the followers OF the club.
in fact most OF the Trenton's money
is in bets of $40 and II is expected that
there will be enough Of these 10 make
up the $500 All Of the players viii
wager that they will win and fans arc
also coming up with their money.
Several sums Of S25 have been added
to the pot but $40 bets are the ones
that are preferred. The $1,000 purse
will be placed in the hands OF Presi-
dent Carpenter. so that the fans will
understand that the series is for
blood as Il really is.
Two umpires will work at the
games and while Il is practically de-
cided TO open the series at Trenton. the
rest of the schedule will be made out
by drawing.
Rain again knocked out the Lam
caster-Wilmington game yesterday, NJ
well as the Reading game scheduled
for today. Reading will be here to-
morrow. Lancaster comes back on
Friday for a double header that day
as we'll as on Saturday.

each side OF the Highland Newport
controversy saying It is right
Abrahams made the following state
ment this morning relative to the
matter: Although Il Is against the
boards rulings TO hear disputes
where umpire's decisions OF Judgment
are involved, have asked them 70 set
aside this ruling, and on Friday even
ing be prepared TO pass judgment on
the already too much discussed game.
Il am doing this to show to each
manager that he was wrong The
home team is surely responsible for
the treatment Of visiting teams. Since
my term Of Office began ] have had
the unpleasant duty OF deciding a few
cases. The yhad to be decided one
way or the other. and think after
