THE. DEMOCRATIC wool bill which
passed the House has furnished the
long desired opportunity for etfecting
an alliance between the Democrats and
the progressive Republicans in the
Senate. Washington has been thor
oughly startled by the new turn in af-
fairs, and it is being predicted that the
present session of Congress will dip
deeply into the tariff, and general revis-
ION is not among the unexpected things.
The opponents of the Canadian recipro-
city measure have seized upon the wool
bill as means of amending reciprocity
in such way as to defeat the entire
Administration program, and thereby
invite veto to the Canadian agreement
from President Taft.

THE opposition to Canadian reciproc-
ity in the Senate has brought out bitter
denunciations on the part of William
Alden Smith of Michigan and attacks
have also been made upon the measure
by Senator Crawford of South Dakota,
and Dixon of Montana. The speech of
Senator Nelson in which he assailed the
policy of the Taft Administration in
reference TO the Canadian pact, was one
OF the most forcible arguments that
has been heard in the debate. Senator
ID xon characterized the measure as one
that would pull the cornerstone" out
of system of protective tariff.

The members of the water board
wish it distinctly understood that the
report that water has been running
from the reservoir during the heated
spell while people have been out Of
water FOR sprinkling purposes is de-
fusion and a snare. They lay the
shortage in the water supply to illegal
and unlawful use of water and threaten
vengeance on the fellow who gets
caught using it out of hours hereafter.
We are glad to know that all of the
supply is husbanded, but the fact that
we are short of water and that the hours
: for sprinkling have been shortened one
hour still remains. Ionia and Grand
Ledge have both been up against the
same proposition.
The tongue of gossip has been busy
of late discussing subject that brings
deep shame upon the community. The
sanctity of home has been despoiled
by two people both of whom should
and did know better. A blight has
been left on the city that will remain
for months because man of the town
forgot his vows so sacredly plighted at

Business Boys Club
By ROBT. GossETT

We'll, here 1t is. We have met the seniors. After the smoke cleared away we found that they had slipped one oyer on us and had beat it up the alley. The score was to in their favor. They played us with six men. still they were one too many for us to walk away with. The opposing twirlers were Becl1with, for the Business Boys. and Greenwood for the Seniors. H. Davis of the Business Boys was the hitting kid of the evening, two hits out of three up. Beckwith struck out 15 men, while Greenwood lost count of his. Smith played star game at first. Hall and Davis did the AL phonse and Gaston act in left field over an easy ball and let in a couple of runs. This is all that we have to say about the game this week, but look out for next Sunday.

Uncle Toms Methodist boys ducked their Baptist sneighbors Thursday out at Avondale, thereby gaining first place. They say Uncle Tom and his bunch own the towr. Congratulations are due both teams for keeping in at the top.
 Professor Williams and his crowd are not in first place. but there is going to be some game when either of the Avondale crowd play them.
 The Gideon club team has been hitting a professional pace ever since their de- feat at Wodlawn. Next Thursday this team nets Avondale Bap. at Behren's park
 this season and have won seven.
 The Buddies, like the Gideons. seemed to have lost their pennant chances by a'- lowing two defeats to slide their way. If some one can defeat Wodlawn and Avondale NJ. E., one apiece there Is go- ing to be the prettiest struggle for the junior championship of the city ever seen.
 The other teams have unfortunately ben pushed in the second division and have no show for the championship rag.
 The race in the z league is far from finished The Gideon club has hard game scheduled with the Avondale Bap list and If they come out victorious will be at the top or tied with some other teams.
 The First Presbyterians are dangerous rivals of the Gideons, and in all proba- bility these teams will be in to the finish.
 Some of the other teams are strong enough to change the positions of the top notchers.
