three right now and might be con-
testing the lead.
Golden has won FIVE and dropped
ten games. Bresnahan thinks his in
effectiveness is due to following the
lead of Bugs Raymond.
Golden is suspended, but BreBnahan
makes him work out daily, in the be-
lief that hard work will get him into
condition. Golden is said to realize his
foolishness and is trying to get back
into shape.
With Golden out st. Louis has three
pitchers capable of high-class work.
They are Harmon, Steele and Sallee,
and the heavy work is telling on them.
With Golden back the load will be
lifted from Bresnahan's shoulders and
the travelling will be easier.

Manufacturers League Team
Has Beaten IrOnsides
and Athletics.
BY SHMI-PRO.

The Worthington baseball team OIL
the Manufacturers League seems to
occupy a distinctive position among
the semi-professional teams in Newark.
Although this is its first year of or
g~aniaation, the record made is N to
be proud of. The teams showing
against the Ironsides last Sunday,
when the Caseyites were defeated, Ito,
and also against the Newark Athletics
ON the Sunday previous, who were also
defeated. 40. readily shows the
strength of the Worthingtons.
In the last sever games, all of which
were played against the strongest
teams in Newark, and all of which they
won, the Worthington team has scored
a total Of 81 run against 8 for OPP
ponents. Three of these games were
shut-outs.
A great deal OF the credit is due to
the pitching of Henry Otte, whose
work in the box has been mastery.
In his game against the General Elec-
trio team a few weeks g he held
them to one run, the final score being
12-1. Against the Newark Athletics
he allowed this heavy-hitting team
only five hits, and against the IRON
sides only two hits were made off his
delivery. This good record is due, in a
great measure, to the clever catch
ing of Levine, whose ail-around play
ing is to be highly commended.
on Saturday the Worthingtons will
meet the Mergotts, the present PEN
nant-holders of the Manufacturers
League, n Gu Sunday afternoon they
again meet the Newark Athletics on
their home grounds for a return game.
This will doubtless be the most hotly
contested game of the season in this

Fire Prevention Day.

Yesterday, in most states, was fire
prevention day, the fortieth anniver-
sary of the great Chicago fire al
though In Nebraska, however, the
state laws fix our fire day at q later
date.
We have had fires In this country
since 1871, that may well be held up
TO all the people as warnings against
carelessness In the things that make
such conflagrations possible, but the
movement that has led to these fire
prevention days springs from the
hope that we shall cease&o have such
disasters. All the fine talk that can
be reeled off to school children on
these anniversaries. however, will
not have the full effect desired
School children are not the ones
chiefly responsible. OF course, It Il
wen enough 20 teach them how to
protect their lives in the event OF
fire. but what the movement must
do. to amount 70 anything, is to teach
men who construct towns and cities
out OF buildings that the first and
best fire preventive lies in the prop
erly-constructed building. We may
here apply the old saw that proven
ton Is better than cure"
Every city and every state should
go in for clean-cut building laws and
when they get them on their statute
books they should enforce them.
That can be done without fine-spun
oratory. II must be done before our
national fire prevention crusade bears
it's best fruitage. How to fight
flames comes after how to prevent
them Every time a fire-trap build
ing goes up within the fire limits Of
city a severe blow Is dealt this
movement, The first thing San
Francisco did when II got the ashes
Of its $500. 900, 900 fire cleared away
was TO lay plans for a fireproof city
and. though nature may decide at
any time TO visit that city with an
earthquake, the chances are that
never again will an earthquake wreak
such devastation as did that one in
1905.
To the rebuilding OF San Fran
cisco, or Chicago, rather than to the
destruction of either. may we look
for the really best example to inspire
US in this concerted effort.

The Last of Slavery.

Those who feel constrained for hui
manity's sake TO deplore and de-
nounce Italy's "unwarranted attack
upon Turkey" may possibly find con-
ISOLATION in the fact that as soon as
Italy planted it's flags and authority
on the shores of northern Africa. It
issued a proclamation freeing the
slaves and suppressing the slave trade
throughout Tripoli, where the ac-
cursed institution has for centuries
flourished. Before western civiliza-
ton can afford to plead Turkeys case
at the bar Of public judgment, It
should consider what has been the
Mohammedan's attitude for human
liberty.
One OF the responsibilities rest
ing upon modern civilization is
that Of checking Turkish intoler-
ance. Long enough has IL sat
in its citadel at Constantinople.
and waged its pillaging warfare
upon the world around 1t. So
long has It persisted in this course
that its young men have revolted
and threatened TO overthrow It, II
outside powers did not The prin-
ciples Of war and OF world peace are
not as closely interviewer in this
Turko-Italian conflict as they might
be. At least, II is easier to justify
war under such circumstances than II
would be between two powers that
recognized alike the rights Of man.
Italy will be achieving a momen-
tous triumph for humanity IN over
throwing the last of slavery, but
that will be but one form of barbaric
cruelty and dark-ages intolerance de-
stroyed with Turkish control on the
Mediterranean. Perhaps, It is too
bad this turn of evolution's wheel
could not have been given without
war, but we might as well make the
best of the results since the war had
to come. The outcome will make for
the progress OF peace and civliza-
ton and, since, II war is ever justifi-
able and righteous, II would seem
that there Is such an occasion.

There isn't much doing in washington

still lives there in a way. just moves
along mechanically. in the absence Of the
president, and the residents, weary Of DUH
routine, turn their thoughts TO the future

Ion Of experts the washington citizen who

ADMIRAL seh1sr and HI. Loon.

Naval officers, says the. Washington
Herald, regard as a valuable and accept
able contribution in the Schley-Sampson
controversy Admiral Chadwick's recently
published history of the now famous
loop" made by Schley in the Brooklyn
In the battle of Santiago. This loop
has been variously considered as a fine
piece of naval strategy and as a move
by Admiral Schley to avoid conflict with
the Spanish flagship Maria Teresa Ad-
miral Chadwick's history puts the incl
dent in a light entirely favorable to Ad-
miral Schley,
Rear Admiral Nicholson, one of the few
officers now In Washington who partici-
pated in the battle, was a witness to the
celebrated loop" Anent the Chadwick
history, Admiral Nicholson said last
night:
The Brooklyn had to turn either to
the right OF left. 1t was not material
which way she turned. and have al
ways maintained that Admiral Schley's
maneuver was the only thing to do. I
was navigating officer Of the oregon at
the time. and had a good opportunity to
observe the situation Of the Brooklyn.
Admiral Chadwick bears out my pre-
viously expressed opinion, and think he
fully vindicates Admiral Schley's course,

A Call for Ideas.

It seems that a lot of people
reached the conclusion at about the
same time that the street fair fea-
ture of the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival had
not only outlived fits usefulness, but
degeDerated close to the intolerable.
The only really creditable attraction
inside the gates was the exhibit of
Douglas county agricultural prod
ucts. Nothing else would be missed
IL the street fair we're abandoned.
II Ak-Sar-Ben needs something az
a revenue producer In addition to
initiation fees and paid subscriptions.
some scheme of popular entertain
ment can certainly be improvised that
will furnish decent amusement to
visitors supplemental to the parades
and court ball. Just what form this
should take must be decided accord
ing 70 experience and best judgment.
Suggestions volunteered by the gen.
eral public should be in order, and
might help solve the problem. Now
is the time for everyone with an idea
which he thinks is worth having, to
submit 1t for consideration.

The speeches which Mr.. Bryan is
making in Nebraska appealing es-
pecially TO progressive" republicans

last year he essayed the role OF patri-

how would that help them IN their
ambition 20 control the republican
organization and put their preferred

No, Mr.. Bryan's advice springs
from his own Unborn partisanship-
the same partisanship that impelled
him 70 take the stump for Parker
against Roosevelt in 1904, and the
same partisanship that aims TO use

same way the democrats used the
populists and the silver republicans
merely to pull democratic chestnuts
