The Political Pot Shooters
 The Atlanta Constitution: oscar Under-
 wood, chairman of the ways and means committee, House leader, and consistently discussed north and south as presiden- tlal possibility, is the latest target of the political pot shooters. The missiles Of the bush whackers come this time from washington, and are distributed in sub- stantially the same form to any newspa- per that will print them A significant moment is chosen for the attack. The country rings with the praises of the bril. iian' Aiapamian. He has just given the iia,ioh attestations of sincerity and big ness In statesmanship that will long go unparalleled In democratic annals. Hs has harmonized all democratic factions, and brought together many insurgent re- publicans. to the support and passage of steel and iron schedule that effects re- auctions varying from 30 to 50 per cent from the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
 The real girth of his achievement ia seen when 1t is remembered that IJnder- wood is from the second steel and iron center ofs the country. There can be no disparaging his courage or integrity when he exemplifies his tariff reform views with the leading industry of his own con- stituents as medium. That is why, we assume, as he looms large in national attention, the sharpshootfng brigade deems the time imperative to discredlt him. The custom is unjust, dangerous and reprehensible directed against him as 1t would be against any other leading democrat. It is intensified In his case, for the reason that 1t is intended to weaken his hands, as democratic leader, at mo- ment crucial in the party's career.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Politics lives as far as 1t can get from the Ten Commandments.
 A woman can endure with fortitude any ordeal but out of date clothes.
 The next best thing to getting out of visiting somebody is getting out of hay ing somebody visit you.
 When a man won't let anybody but his wife cook certain dishes for him she knows he's good husband.
 If man didn't have any relatives and friends to borrow from him it appears like there wouldn't be much use of money in the world. f.a

A FANCY FROM FONTENELLE

Obstacles to Irish Home Rule

The home rule bill which the As quith government proposes to bring in as soon as parliament meets this month has not been published in full, but it is known that it provides for a two chamber parliament subordinate to the imperial parliament and re- stricted to Irish affairs. There is to be cabinet, however, responsible to the Irish parliment.
 This plan seems feasible, and yet there are obstacles in the way. Unless England aids Ireland financially the latter's tax bills would have to be in- creased, and no one wants higher taxes.
 And then there are the Irish Protestants, or Catholics, who constitute one third of the population. The Ulster unionists are warlike and bitter. They say they will not submit to a parliament elected by the Catho- lie majority, but the chances are they will accept the will of the parliament in London. The Ulster rebellion thunders loudly in the index, and yet it may prove mild enough when home rule is once established. The leader of the Ulster unionists is Sir Edward Carson, and he is putting up strenu- ous fight.

Answers to QusetiOns

It seems that among the Chicago
 University club questions, a list of
 which has been printed in many news papers, "Who was Mommsen? ?"-the
 seventeenth question in the list of the
 2o--was a puzzler. That was because, no doubt, the name was generally spelled incorrectly. In some lists it
 appeared Moonsen, in others Monnsen,
 and in others Monson.
 In speaking of Mommsen yesterday a well known educator said:
 This distinguished German scholar -Theodor Mommsen-had an eventfui career. He was born in 1917 and died in 1903. After spending three years in
 France and Italy in the collection and | examination of inscriptions for the
 Berlin Academy of Science he acted as editor of the Schleswig- Holstein Zei- tung; and in 1S4S accepted the posi-
 tion of professor of Jurisprudence at
 Leipsig, from which office he was
 expelled in 1850 for the part that
 he had taken in the politics of the years. Two years later
 he became professor of Roman law at
 Zurich, in 1854 professor of the same
 subject at Breslau, and in 1856 pro-
 lessor of ancient history at Berlin.
 From 1873 to 1882 he was member of the Prussian house of representa- tives, He was a liberal in politics. His greatest work is his history of Ronie covering the period from the earliest times to 46 B. c. A bographer 1 says: As historian he is unequaled for the range of his Knowledge and for
 his grasp of details and his vivid pre- sentation of facts. He is less successful
 in his insight into political situations,
 as he is often misled by modern. anal ogies. and into human character. 1 Number three in the Chicago list was, Name the conductor of the New York ] Philharmonic orchestral In some ot

Convicts In Mines

q was interested in reading in The Age Herald of yesterday" said Will liam Weller, that the convicts which the state employ on its farm are not only self supporting but aid materially in supporting their less fortunate brethren in trouble who are forced into the maw of the earth where at any moment their lives might be snuffed out as result of an explosion.
 "The idea of making money from convict labor Is bad idea. As it has been demonstrated that on the state farms the conyicts can be maintained without expense to the state, I am an advocate of taking these unfortunates out of the mines. The sentiment against working convicts in mines has crystallized in Alabama, chiefly as q result Of the agitation conducted by The Age-Herald, and there is no doubt but that in compliance with the de- mands of the people the state in the near future will be compelled to make certain changes in it's present policy"

Glass Luncheon.

The final social gathering of the
members of the graduating class Of
1912 OF the Clarksburg High school
was held last night at the Clarksburg
restaurant afetr the commencement
exercises were over at the church,
when the boys of the class gave q
luncheon in honor OF the girls. This
custom of the boy members of the
class honoring the girls as a last
gathering was started by the class
Of 1911 and the present class carried
1t out more fully than the preceding
one.
The tables were all decorated with
the class colors, cherry and black
all the lights were shaded with the
same colors, each, table had as a
center piece huge bunch of red
carnations tied with large bow of
black ribbon. In this way the color
scheme was complete. Each member
of the class was presented with a
small favor as memento Of the oc-
casion. .
Although it is customary for such
occasions to end up with round
of merriment 1T was not so last night
as each member of the class realized
that it was the breaking up of one
of the largest and best classes that
ever entered the High school, and
class in which good fellowship had
relgned supreme, and instead Of
laughter each babe the other good
night and departed to their homes
in silence.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Pretty tough to lose four straight.
Well, Long Tom Hughes, is slated to
| do the work to-day.
And then we get the Yankees for a
series OF six games.
We should have little trouble with the
Hospital club, as Wolverton has the ma
jority Of his aggregation on the sick list.
Strunk's home-run drive was sure one
long hit. He beat the throw home by
fully three yards.
And Milan is no slow fielder at that
Boss Grin tried hard to get young
Brown ratified, but all to no avail, as
the Nationals are still in the midst Of
that batting slump, and real hitting
seems out Of the question.
Chick Gandn got a nice double in the
sixth. but it went for nothing. as Walker
and Mcbride could not connect
Holding the Nationals to four hits is
rather nice for youngster.
Baker got two hits yesterday and also
got hit
Derrick got on three out of four trips
to the plate.
Jack Lapp continued to hit the pill,
getting two again yesterday.
Bob Groom, the toothpick hurIer, walk
ed into the box and Bris Lord singled TO
right.
Home Run" Baker singled in the first
with two down, sending Lord over with
the first run of the day.
"Schaef' did a high dive in the first
when Baker tried to steal, but he snapped
Home Run" by a yard.
Eddie Collins threw out all three bat
tiers in the opening session.
Derrick made a neat stop and throw Of
Walkers drive in the second, getting the
pill to McQuinn a step ahead OF Red.
The Athletics pulled a neat double play
In the second. getting Mcbride at first
and Shanks at third.
And Kid Foster, mighty king of swat,
slammed Mr.. Brown to the bleachers.
Kid Foster came through with a great
stop and peg of McInnis' hard drive
in the fourth, the ball turning Buzz
completely around.
Derrick dropped Walkers fly in the
fourth and Red reached second in safety
by making a great dive.
With two on in the fifth Bobby Groom
started to work and famed Brown and
Lord, retiring the side.
And the multitude cheered.
Quite a little fun with imp wester-
welt in the sixth.
Strunk poled one of Groom's shoots
TO the bleachers in the sixth for clean
home run, scoring MeInnis ahead.
