I want evidence. The Jealous and malicious
insinuations of W. j. Bryan do not go down

GENTLEMEN: Y our editorial, "A Word
- of Appeal to Our Friends" in this weeks
Jefeqson5aqo has put one Of your subscribers
to thinking about things.
At your masthead you fly the name Of Os--
car Underwood for President Of the United
States
In last weeks issue you quote from the
Houston Post in commentator of Mr.. Under
wood, which article refers TO Senator Bank
heads praise of him.
Mr.. Underwood is entirely satisfactory to
Senator Bankhead. He is entirely satisfacto-
1T to Senator Johnston; also William Ran
do4ph Hearst; likewisely the Steel Trust. He
receives kindly mention in such papers as the
Houston Post and Commercial appeal. Now
when we see that crowd "rising up as one
man" in support of Mr.. Underwood [ think
it is high time for the common people to look
out.
The people often make mistakes in selecting
men to serve them, but the system rarely does.
Enclosed you will find clipping from the
Memphis ConamerciGz-Appea1, giving some
remarks made by Mr.. Underwood at a ban
quiet in Birmingham in opposition to the Ref
erendum, and of course he is also opposed to
The Initiative and Recall. Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop Ireland will give you the
right hand of fellowship in support of a man
who is, as they term it, mo political dema-
gogue and fanatical faddist"
IF Mr.. Underwood is afraid of the people,
then I am afraid of Mr.. Underwood.
AS long as you continue to mix Underwood,
Bankhead, and the Houston Post, you will

need to send out "a word Of appeal to your

that they will hardly know what to do.
Enclosed is my renewal, for [ want to read

support Mr. Oscar W. Underwood.

COMMENT.
The adoption Of the Initiative. Referendum
and Recall is SO remote, as national measures,
that they may be classed as academic | myself
would most earnestly oppose them, as nation
wide policies, unless they followed the consti-
tutonal model of State representation. For
example, Ohio should not be given the power
to dictate to Delaware. The big State should
not have any greater preponderance than it
enjoys under the Federal Constitution.
Mr.. Underwood's speech merely proves that
he has not become enough of radical to
overturn the representative system of our
fathers Being one of the representatives, he
naturally favors that plan Of government.
Very many Progressive Democrats and Insur-
gent Republicans hesitate to plunge the coun-
try into a revolutionary change. But those
of us who honestly believe that representative
government has been disastrous failure,
want to try some other plan. We hnoa0 that
the representatives chosen by the people have
shamefully betrayed their constituents and
that these traitors are responsible for the con-
centraton of all wealth and power in the
hands of the few. Therefore, we insistently
demand that the people be allowed to rule
themselves.

Illinois Cities Swept
By a Fatal Cyclone

PEORIA. ILL.,, May 29.-Two boys are
dead, two score persons injured, plate
glass windows smashed, houses I'M
rooted, and debris scattered in the
path Of a small cyclone which swept
through Pekin and Granite City Sum
day.
At Pekin, Clyde Sakers and Frank
WoodIey were killed, and Louis Schae-
fer had both legs broken. Twenty per-
sons, including a dozen baseball play
ers, were injured, pne prehaps fatally,
while at a game at Granite City. The
grandstand was lifted and thrown on
the field.
Following the Illinois rive the storm
wrecked the Pekin city pumping station,
jumped across the river and demolished
the Boley ice plant, but left the resi-
dence section untouched.
Force of the storm was felt as far
south as ST. Louis, where some damage
was wrought to residences and parks.
J. J. Meredith, seeking shelter under
a tree, was struck by lightning, almost
denuded, but escaped seriuos injury.

II nothing else has been accomplished
TINS year there is some consolation in the
fact that a most promising catcher has
been developed during the campaign in
John Henry. That Henry is destined to
become great catcher is shown by the
remarkable improvement he shows with
every game. Already there is no better
throwing catcher in the league. while he
has few superiorS as receiver. But
what makes Henry look most promising
| is the fact that he gives his work some
thought. The importance of having a
thinking catcher behind the plate has
long since been recognized. though there
are really few of them in the game. Most
catchers are mechanical. and help their
team but little when it comes to display
ulS strategy. Henry gives nQ1catlOnS OF
having good judgment, notwithstanding
the fact that this is virtually his first
year in base ball.
Things did not look very promising for
the Nationals until that fifth inning. The
SoX had scored twice off of Groom. while
Doc White was apparently getting away
as he usually does when facing the Ma
tionals. But the unexpected happened in
the fifth, and though there were two out
before a score was chased over the plate,
five tallies were counted before the inning
was over. That virtually put the game
on ice, though in the eighth the locals
added a couple of more runs just to make
sure of the result.
After getting two runs in the first in
ming. the Sox did not score again until
the seventh. when Collins triple and
Whites single gave them their final run.

BY J. ED GRuLo.

There is an enormous advantage in
having established a reputation for being
a great pitcher. To begin with. such an
individual is feared by the opposing team,
which does much to make the pitcher
successful, and, what is more, his games
are usually, made easy because the OPP
posing team will not use one Of Its
best pitchers because it considers itself
beaten before the game starts.
Walter Johnson IL just now enjoying
these conditions. When Johnson Is card
ed to pitch he usually has some medi-
OGRE twirler opposing him. Opposing teams
do not figure that they stand much OF
a chance to beat the speed marvel, and.
rather than use one Of their successful
pitchers and waste his effort, they work
one of the ordinary kind. The result is
that the Nationals always score more
runs for Johnson than they do for the
other pitchers on the local team, thus
making Johnson's work decidedly easy.
Walter has not been forced to pitch
hard game OF ball in weeks. He has
been fortunate in having his teammates
secure a lead in most Of the games he
has pitched, and there have been really
few occasions that he has been forced
to do his best. On the whole this has
not only been the most successful season
Johnson has enjoyed, but 1t has really
been the easiest of his career. At the
gait Johnson has been pitching his arm
has not suffered in the least, and II he
can continue to get away without strain
ing himself he Is assured to be a star
for many years to come.
1t used to be that the young players
who broke into the game were all blessed
with strong arms, even IL they could do
nothing else. But it is different now for
some reason or other Few Of the young
sters breaking into fast company show
themselves to be strong throwers, and
there must be some good reason for this.
Perhaps it is that many OF them break
into the game too young and wear their
arms out playing on the lots. Another
theory is that most Of them start out as
pitchers and have their arms ruined be-
fore they are ripe to become profession
ais But whatever the cause, the fact
remains that where such thing as a
weak-throwing youngster was rarity
years ago, just the reverse is now the
condition, and the youngsters with the
good whips are few and far between.
While it is true that Jim McAleer and
Robert McRoy own but one-half Of the

When the crucial test comes it is ex-

surprising about McAleers desire to Sc
cure Mcbride. There are no less than
five or six other clubs willing to take

The report that Chief Bender Of the
Athletics was likely not to pitch again
during the remainder of the seaso seems
to have been greatly exaggerated Mile
il is admitted that the Indian is un.er

rapidly and will most likely pitch orc OF
