In letter from Scott Stand
field who is at Boston, Mass, he
states that he is under training
with the Red Sox but has not
been given a try out this season.
It is the impression Of several of
Scott S best advised friends that
the manager of the Red SoX re-
called Scott from California and
is keeping him with the team at
Boston with the intention Of us
ing him on the regular staff OF
pitchers for the Red SoX in case
he should show mp good in his
work outs. This would be an eX-
traordinary rapid advancement
for Scott to jump from an anna
teur to Class A League, and
would be severe trial to make
anything like good in such fast
company.

LA FoLLETE, THE PROPHET
Senate Seats Have Been Vacated
AS He Predicted in
1906

- - N",-f :

the United States, utterly with
out honor in the capitol OF this
country He was an unusual man
He was new Senator, having
taken the oath My three months
before. Reckoncd by inches, he
was nto a big man. But it is re-
corded that to the tallest grena-
der of France Napoleon never
seemed less than seven feet tall
when the eagles advanced.
That day the new Senator was
well aware that for the first time
the courtesy of the Senate
was to deliberately abandoned.
He was a man marked for ostra-
cism and destruction. And he
knew the scheme of rebuke and
ridicule to sneer him out Of pub
lie life. A rehearsed insult was
to put upon him such as never
had been visited upon an Amer
lean Senator
He was no arrogant amateur
intruder into public life. He had
been a Governor who gained the
attention, il not the admiration,
of the entire coutry
When he was 35 years of age he
had already served six years in
the House of Representatives.
He had won for himself place
upon the Ways and Means Com
mittces Of the House, and as a
member thereof had written the
agricultural schedules of the
Mckinley bill, which did more to
popularize that measure with the
mass of the people than amy 9th
er feature of it.
If ever a Senator fro soyer-
eign state had the right to re-
spectful attention when hc rose to
speak upon a question OF such
National moment as the rcgula-
ton of railway rates and services

worse. 1t is estimated that at least
10000 elk winter in the JacksoRs

many OF them grazing in the park, but
as winter approaches they converge
toward their old winter quarters.
These quarters were ample before the

The elk would feed on the rich grass
