Wagner VS.. Ty Cobb.

Says the Pittsburg Dispatch: The
remarkable worth of Hans Wagner as
a ball player is shown not so much in
the wonderful record he has made in
any particular season, but in the great
length OF time he mas kept ur.- the 5en-
sational pace. Even the few players
whom some critics have attempted to
compar. with Hans admit that they
have no chance to equal him in this
respect. When asked the other day
whether he expected to parallel Wag-
ner's world-beating achievement of bat
ting above 300 for sixteen successive
seasons, Ty Cobb answered: Il surely
would like TO. but I doubt my ability
TO do that. 1 am a different type of
player, not so quiet Of temperament as
Hans. who Is the kind of a fellow that
seldom gets excited" Cobb already has
batted above 300 in seven straight sea-
sons. This means that he has no fewer
than nine more seasons to go at the
same clip in order to equal Wagners
record. and 1t Is not to be wondered at
that he is dismayed by the contract of
equaling the "Dutchman." There is
only one Honus.

Eat Your Costly Meat, But
Get Next To This!

If you have some slight doubt as to whether pro-
lection increases the cost of living not try to
plain this
During the month Of August American sirloin of
beef sold for 1917 cents in London and for % cents
in New York.
None Of the rot about middlemen, increase in gold
production, great rise in wages and similar insin-
cere twaddle explains this difference in price. The
only explanation that holds water is the tariff.
Great Britain levies no tariff duties meat pro-
ducts. In the London market the American beef
trust must meet competition from Australia, New
Zealand and South America. The tariff protects the
trust from such competition at home. With the tar
iff abolished American meats would sell at home for
no more than abroad
Of course when these facts are made known the
shrek goes up that the trust cannot pay decent
wages without the privilege of robbing the people,
But this shrek is the biggest lie in all the tariff
arguments.
The census shows that the average wage paid in
the packing industry is $3.50 year. trifle $40
week. How high tariff is needed to enable the
trust to pay such wages? All told, there &c.
728 wage earners employed in the year 1909 in the
packing industry less than onetenth of per cent
Of the population.
If, once year. tax of about 60 cents head were
levied the meat consumers of the United States,
that tax would raise equal to the total wages
paid by the beef trust. Yet the tariff enables the
trust to tax meat consumers more than that every
week in the year.

been visible to the banker and

leisurely, the driver proceeded to
inspect first the moter and then
the driving gear. The banker,
nervous and irritable, hurried
from the machine and began to
follow the driver. Langston was
down on all fours trying to see
what might be the matter when
he heard the chugging of the mo-
tor and looked up to see the car
moving from him.
Hold on" he exclaimed,
scrambling to his feet. But be-
fore he could reach the car it had
shot from him like bullet and he
could only shake his fist at the
driver, who looked back, and even
the goggled face seemed to be
smiling.

rising to her feet and catching the
chauffeur by the arm, but he paid
no heed. At each revolution of
the wheels he was going faster,
and he paid no attention to her
