Southland's runs.
Both teams fielded in good form,

To Stay on Salary Role

DETROIT, Aug. 1a.-Youth may crowd
Jim Delahanty out of a regular position

he'll be in the lineup every time the

Mcbride ON PERSONS AND THINGS
By A. G. Mcbride

No, things don't always turn out as the
political prophets predict. One of the great
est objections to the recall has been the
claim that this God given privilege would
be abused and it may be- but depend on it,
the people, the voters, controlled by public
sentiment will do just about the right thing,
and this is shown by the recent attempted
recall of Mayor billing. The public senti-
ment is against his recall while at the same
time I believe majority of the voters are
against his administration of city affairs,
but the mistakes the mayor has made are
errors of Judgment, and fair minded peo-
pie will not recall under such conditions.
But some one asks, how about ex-Mayor
ellis recall? Well, the people did not want
to recall him and he was given every oppor-
tunity to permit it. Public sentiment was
against his chief of police and whether the
demand was right or wrong, the voters, the
people, wanted a change in that department,
and if the ex-mayor had listened to the
voice of the people instead of the voice Of
some of his miserable political advisers, he
would be mayor at this time instead of the
present incumbent. Public sentiment goes
off wrong sometimes, but as a rule, it ex-
presses about the right side of every ques-
ton.
