it is more ominous that the Socialist
vote. A Socialist may be merely
mistaken patriot The stay-at-home
gentry cannot lay claim to any patrio-
tism at all. Socialism is at worst dis
ease of the body polite. Indifference
is a chilling OF the very soul Of dem
ocracy."
1t is this very Indifference which
makes votes for women a certainty in
the near future. Nv you do not vote
you leave it to the professional polite
ian and his allies, the saloon-keeper,
and the gambler to run your town and
your state.

WHAT ABOUT BASEBALL!

1t is pretty cold weather and nearly
Christmas, TOO, TO be talking about
baseball. But that is what must be
done here, if Americas is to secure its
rightful berth in the proposed Empire
State League,
The matter of the organization Of
the team is one that has already COM
manded a great deal of interest
throughout the several towns in this
section of the state who will likely be
members of the new club. In fact, it is
pretty safe, conservative statement
to make when one says that the league
will be organized.
Already many of the cities that are
to be members of the league have be-
gun the organization of their teams for
the new season. These cities are wide
awake to the possibilities Of baseball,
and they do not intend to be left out,
Not only will they be members of the
league but they will also be among
those cities that are early birds and
will catch some of the best and liveli-
est baseball worms procurable.
That is merely another way Of say
ing that it is time for Americas to be
up and doing. OF course, we want
baseball here. 1t would be an insult
to the fans here to say that we do not
want to be represented and to be rep
resented rightly in the national game.
But that is not organizing team. The
organization of a team, an aroused and
definite enthusiasm in a league team
here is what Americas needs now and
needs very much.
When the gong is sounded Americas
will be there. But why not get under
way? 1t is very near Christmas now,
but that does not prevent the discus
sion in a practical way of the problems
OF getting baseball team. We must
have a team that will make things in
teresting next summer, whether the
new league is organized or not. Why
not take time by the forelock and get
into the game ahead of the summer
season, especially when all the best
bacon is likely to be swiped by the
other teams.

He's father no one thinks he wants
Anything from Santa Claus!
He gets something; oh, of course!
Most forgot him in the rush!
He won't mind though, he's so good
Slip in quiet, now, and hush!
Come, now, let's improve bit,
Give him first for just one time;
He won't know what's broke loose,
But his heart will hear the chime!
He gets something-always, oh,
Always something; seems so hard
To just know what he would like
VINO hath all our lives so starred
With his. generous heart and will,
With his striving, earnest way,
So the loved home and his loved
Might have gladstone Christmas day,

Standing by to see the rest
Bugble with the gladness borne
By life's goodness in their breast.
Come, now, change things all around,
Let's make father feel this year
That it's his turn to be filled
With the best of Christmas cheer!

WOMEN TO FILL THE GAP LEFT
BY INDIFFERENT MEN.

Many reasons have been given for
the growth of equal suffrage sentiment
which has been so rapid in the last few
years 1t has been attributed to the
large number of women who now work
for their living to the number of home
industries which have been taken out
of women's hands, thus leaving them
with more leisure 1t has been at
tributed to the fact that where equal
suffrage has been tried, none of the
dire consequences, traditions ally pre-
dicted. either to the state or to the wo-
men, have come to pass.
But though no doubt all these causes
have had something to do with the fact
that an increasingly large number of
men and women are in favor of votes
for women, the strongest cause is prob
Vi late years grown more and more
careless about the privilege of voting,
more and more lax in paying their poll
I N"sC9, lCSo duu leSo lIiuiS Hdlll Wuel
they were counted out by crooked cleo
ton officials. Because so many Of the
better element among the male voters
have allowed themselves to be dis
franchised, through carelessness, the
better element of women see the inn
peratiye need for them to vote. and
those Of the men who still vote and
still care for good government realize
that they must look to the intelligent
women to help them in their fight
against graft and incompetence in
government

When The Trouble Arrived.

When you hear all this talk. gentle
reader, about aboishirg national CON
ventions because they have become Oh
disorderly and corrupt, just 20 back tn
memory to the COS, before the present
progressive" mania had seized the
people, and note that there were no
such disorderly scenes at national or
state conventions in those days as we
have witnessed this year. Then there
was order and decorum and deceucE
among both delegates and spectators.
The game was played according to the
rules and the results were accepted iu
gentlemanly good faith by all. Those
were the days before the muckraker
and the agitators had poisoned the
public mind with their gospel of hate
and made discord, suspicion, bitterness
and belligerency the rule instead Of
the exception among American citi-
zens. Drive men like these from pub
lie life and you will not have to police
a convention hall with 800 armed Of
iicers Of the law to prevent riot and
bloodshed among 10000 assembled
Americans. Shame on a state of pub
lie mind and morals that makes such a
thing necessary!-EX.

Meaning of at Half.Mast. y

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever prominent person dies, especially
If he is connected with the government,
the flags on public buildings are hoist
ed only part of the way up. This is
called "half-mast." Did you ever stop
to think what connection there could
be between a flag that was not proper
ly hoisted and the death Off great
man?
Ever since flags were used in war it
has been the custom to have the flag of
the superior or conquering nation
above that Of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled its dag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above it on the same pole.
This was token not only of submiS-
sion, but of respect.
In those days when a famous soldier
died flags were lowered ont Of respect
to his memory. The custom long ago
passed from purely military usage to
public life of all kinds, the flag flying
at half-mast being a sign that the
dead man was worthy Of universal
respect. The space above it is for the
flag of the great conqueror Of all
the Angel of Death.-Toronto Mail
and Empire.

state Commerce Commission for the
first quarter of the year 1912 records
the largest number of railway casual
ties and the greatest amount OF imam
cial loss that has been reported since
the quarter ended September 30, 1901
There were many collisions and de-
railments. the number of the latter
showing an increase of more than n
per cent over the preceding quarter.
The commission directs especial attcn-
ton TO the fact that defects OF road
way and defects Of equipment to-
gether caused nearly IS per cent Of
the total number of derailments for the
quarter. A good many Of the roads, it
would appear might do something TO
reduce the casualty list 10y devoling
closer attention TO the condition Of
their tracks and their rolling stock.
The total loss of life for the quarter
was 2,4sl, and the number of persons
injured was 1915. In all classes OIL
accidents seventy-one passengers were
killed. AS usual there was heavy
mortality due to "trespassng." Nearly
half the entire number of persons kill

other and digger half are railroad
employees. Obviously the orgauilOr",
