Bread Trust Has Easy Sailing

A $25,OOO,OOO bread trust which
will operate, to start with in 81
large cities, has been formed in
New York under the name of the
General Baking Company. The
alleged object of the new octopus
IS to educate the. public to a
higher standard of quality in
bread" Inquiry at the Office of
Attorney General Wickersham e.
licited the information that absO-
lutely nothing was known there
Of the formation of "any bread
trust" The reply was not IN
usual, as the Attorney General
office is generally the last place
In Washington to go to for infor-
nation which might be construed
to admit the existence Of any
trust.

Both Candidates For Governor De-
clare For Local Option.

The Anti Saloon League announces that
it has received written pledges from
Messers. Goldsborough and German,
Republican and Democratic candidates
for Governor. that if elected they will
sign the local option bill if passed and will
not interfere with its passage. They also
declare their belief that the people have
right to vote upon all such questions.
This takes the local option question out
of the Governorship contest, and leaves
the League free to center upon the legis-
lature and force the fight against the
corrupt Mahon liquor gang of Baltimore
which has killed the local option bill
twice. and, not content with robbing the
people of the right to vote on the liquor
question, has stolen votes actually cast on
other questions.
The League does not indorse or support
either candidate for Governor, but leaves
every voter in its constituency free to vote
in accordance with his own judgment
as to his responsibility as a Christian
citizen to secure clean government and
promote political righteousness. This
handling Of the case relieves the League
from any charge OF partisan unfairness.
Questions will be sent to the legislative
candidates this week and the declaration
in favor of self-government by the heads
of both tickets will practically force the
legislative candidates to do the same in
self defense.

The last home game was with North East
and the locals won by better work both at bat
and in the field. The fielders all had hard
day of it as the position Of the diamond COM
PEELED the facing of the sun. This fact caused
them to lose sight Of the ball frequently,
number of hits dropping safe that ordinarily
would have proven easy outs. Efiing allowed
but six safe hits and struck out thirteen men.
Reynolds, on the other hand. was hit freely.
Taylor's catching was of high order. Reeder
at short played fine game. accepting eight
chances without an error, and hit for double
and two singles. Kirk led at bat with three

sickness and injury of some Of the regular
players.
