On previous trips around the circuit
other clubs have waxed fat upon our
Kaws. If the Kaws continue to play
the kind of ball they exhibited upon
their at home stay, these same clubs
may have some trouble. And every
game the Indians win not only lifts
them a little but pulls down another
team Both the games Saturday and
Sunday were of the kind that either
team should win. The Kaws were
playing at top speed and grabbing ev-
erything in sight.

The Kaws have been doing little
better than breaking even since the
team took fresh start. They must
do it to get off the bottom. Perhaps
they can. If so all right. If not 1t
means that the same mistake of under
estimating the batting strength of the
Western will not be made next year.
And the team is getting stronger every
day for all of it's lowly standing.

Meanwhile the season is not yet half
over. 1t will soon be. And what does
the second half of it hold in store for
the Kaws? Going at their present clip
their prospects should be quite bright.

Good Sleepers.

From the Chicago Tribune.
All the organs of life rest in some way
or other The heart has an interval or
rest between each combined act of con-
traction and expansion and the begin
ming of a fresh act.
Between each expiration OF the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there Is
a period of repose. Psychologists have
calculated that the heart reposes during
about one-fourth OF the time. Certain
o! the other organs suspend their ac-
tivity in part during sleep. Old physi-
ologists supposed that sleep was caused
by the pressure of the blood on the
brain. But modern physiology. with a
tendency to regard the brain as the
origin OF all force and of ali functions
of the body. inclines to the view that
sleep is caused by a withdrawal OF
blood from the brain
A curious trait has marked men of
large brain-that of sleeping at Will.
Konaparte used to throw himself on the
ground and go to sleep within space
of two minutes. Pitt was sound
sleeper, and slept night after night in
the House of Commons while his COL
leagues watched the debate and reused
him when 1t was necessary that he
should speak.

Mr.. Taft's Campaign Plans.

The President did not fail to respond
to the demand of the people who gath
cred at the railway stations to greet him
while he was on his way from Bev-
erly TO Columbus TO make a speech"
but he eschewed politics He had given
that up. he remarked. He believed
that there are some politics going but
he would take no part in them" At
Springfield he even went so far as to
say: so far as l am concerned, you
will have to make up your mind without
further hearing from me-.
At Pittsfeld Mr.. Taft added:
l have made all the political speeches
from the tail end of Pullman car that
l ever expect 10 make CT hope not. +"
remarked some one in the crowd) If
! have any case to submit TO the Amer
lean people, / am going to submit it on
facts without argument.
Mr.. Taft is too kind-hearted and
generous to indulge in undertaking. He
has had his lesson in the pre-conven-
ton fight. and being a wise man and
a dignifed one he has profted by his
experience.

The Federal government has cut=a
canal from the bay near Beaufort, in
South Carolina, to Pamlico Sound, and
the most recent river and harbor bill
is providing for the taking over and
making toll free the Chesapeake and
Albemarle Canal Then there is pri-
vate concern, financed by August Bel
mont, building canal across Cape
Cod, where thousands of vessels have
been stranded and wrecked in the past.
OF course, there is still a great deal
to be done to complete the chain from
Massachusetts to St. Simons Sound,
at Brunswick, Ga, but once the am
bitious plans of the Deeper Waterways
Association are completed, trade will
be vastly promoted, lives and property
will be comparatively safe from the
dangers of turbulent sea coast, trans
portation will be cheapened, new ter
ritory opened up, and land values
along a stretch of 1000 miles will in
crease
1t is a constructive movement of
vast national importance, and it is well
under way.

Atlantic Deeper Waterways Meeting

Though the Isthmian Canal, because
of the magnitude OF the undertaking
and its international Importance, CON-
tinues TO hold the attention of the ma
ton, the project for the Atlantic
coast inland waterways ought not to
be overlooked even if given a lesser
place in our considerations. The fifth
annual convention of the Intracoastal
Waterways Association. which is being
held this week, is expected to advance
an enterprise which when once COM
pleted will become steady feeder of
the Panama Canal for coastwise traffic
The aim of the association has been
discussed ever since its inception 1t
is to complete a continuous inside
waterway that will afford cheap trans
portation to shippers of raw material
and bulky products and at the same
time prevent the great loss of life and
property which characterizes Atlantic
coast traffic off the Delaware Capes,
the Virginia headlands, Cape Hatteras,
and the Florida reefs.
During the first ten years Of the
present century there were some 5000
disasters to shipping along the Atlantic
coast, when 200 lives were lost and
100000 worth of property destroyed,
most if not all of which could be pre-
vented by our inland waterway, which
rivers, sounds, and water courses am
ply supply if connected by system of
canals.
To build and complete such canali-
zation is the aim of this association.
The government has taken up the mat
ter and has completed survey of the
possibilities of inland navigation along
the coast. As result provision has
been made for two waterways going
north from beyond Cape Hatteras, one
of the most dangerous and most feared
promontories on the Atlantic border.

BOURNE PREDICTS
ALL-YEAR CONGRESS
Senator Says Country's Business in
Future Will Demand Con-
tinuous Sessions.

Hereafter Congress must remain in ses-
sion almost the whole year round, accord
ing to the p<ediction of Senator Jona-
than Bourne. tr., OF Oregon.
1T looks to me- said the Senator to-
day. THAT the pressure OF public busi-
ness and the needs of the country will
require that the national legislature sit
almost continuously in Washington This
year Congress has been in session about
nine mSnths. and next year and all sue
ceeding years l look for the same condi-
tions to prevail. Important problems in
popular government remain TO be solved
and it will take a long time each year
TO consider them intelIigentiy and in such
a manner as to satisfy the public. The
people demand that We give their inter
ests earnest consideration and it will
take most of the time available each year
TO meet their demands"
When We have worked out the prob
lens of campaigning and nominations, It
will not be necessary for Congressman
or Senators to leave their desks in Wash
ington to present reasons to their con-
stituents why they should be returned to
office. We must devise some way of in
forming the electors of the respective
merits of candidates for offiCe; that is.
some medium of publicity to their records
and personal platforms that will abviate
the necessity of their records and per
sonal platforms that will obviate the
necessity OF their spending large amounts
of time and money to convey their ideas
TO the voters. When that is done there
will be no necessity Of any legislator be-
ing absent from his duties here for any
great length of time.

the cause of the wholesale slaughter in

Judge. Sheriff. and clerk were shot, and

Floyd Allen was a prosperous man IN
the community. He had a sister die
leaving a boy fifteen or sixteen years of
age. This boy was indicted with others
for disturbing public worship. He had n
severe spell OF sickness in the meantime.
Floyd Allen sent the authorities word
that he would go on the boys bond and
would sign il when he came TO the
county seat" A few days later he
started TO town and came across a dep
uty sheriff VINO had his nephew hand
curred and walking him into town.
The boy was still weak from the SPELL
OF iONu Ailcn pulAeI MS
revolver and made the oficer turn him
loose to go back home. Allen went on
to town and give bond for the boys ar-
pearance. The boy had his trial and was
acquitted. Allen was indicted for turn
ing his nephew loose and sentenced 20
the penitentiary a year or two for the
crime. The shooting of the officers OF
the court followed.
When law commits such injustices con-
trary to reason and common sense. It
will stir up the blood OF the mountaineer.
When the narrative given is considered
fairly no one can say that the Aliens
ought to be hanged for their crime.

wants to be treated fair and II he Is

The "Other Fellow" In Nicaragua.

The present rebellion in Nicaragua
is the first since the treaties of 1907
were signed by which the various Cen
tral American States undertook to stop
meddling in each others internal af-
fairs.
We learn that trouble makers from
Salvador and other neighboring repub-
lies are flocking to the borders OF Mic
aragua for the expressed purpose OF
joining in the attack upon the estab-
lished government and incidentally, of
course, in quest of loot. This would
add just so much to the insurgent
strength and would complicate matters
by embarrassing the government.
In the treaties mentioned, the FIVE
Central American republics agreed to
regard any measure that might tend to
change the fundamental basis of any
one OF them as a menace to the peace
of all. also to prohibit political leaders
or refugees to reside in the sec
tions bordering the countries the peace
of which they might disturb, but
mainly to arrest and bring to trial any
one who should mstigate and foster rev.
olutionary movements in one republic
against any of the Others. Finally, they
pledged themselves individually and
collectively not TO interfere on either
side in a civil war in any of the sig
natories' countries.
So here we arc This means serious
trouble None of these governments is
powerful enough or vigilant enough to
enforce the upholding of these treaties.
If the provisions are ignored or neg
lected, if interstate intervention by ir-
responsible adventures is winked at,
the condition of al Central America
will become critical indeed. The flame
Of rebellion may spread and our own
attitude measured by the acuteness of
provocation and our obligations to our
turbulent wards, who after all may
make up and turn toward the ever
interfering "Gringo' whom they hate
with an intensity little understood by
us.

Mildred Hazeltine-is the denouement of

for years among the American princesses
of that name. On one side is the wife
OF the head OF the house. Princess Gui-
seppe RospigIiosi. the former Miss Marie
Reid, OF New Orleans. who enjoys all
the old title. on the other side is the
above-named Princess Ludov!co Rospig-
lIosi. a princess by courtesy only. and
Princess Giambaltista Rospigliosi. who
was Ethel Bronson. Of New York and
whose title is accorded also by courtesy
only TO the wife Of a nephew OF the
only genuine prince Of that house.
Both Miss Hazeltine and Miss Bronson
brought great American wealth as dowry
to their Italian courtesy titles.
Their warfare against the former Marie
Reids recognition in Roman society
aroused her friends to retaliate- The
former Miss Hazelt!nes affair with a
French officer was discovered by them
and placed before her husband, and the
divorce is the outcome.

the age of fifty-three without having
evinced the slightest intention OF mar

The Folly of Attacking Business.

There is open dissatisfaction at the
Democratic national headquarters over
the speeches made in Maine by Gov.
Marshall. the Democratic Vice Presi-
Dental candidate. and Champ Clark,
Speaker of the House, and we belieye,
with good ground
Democratic leaders all through the
East have informed the Wilson head
quarters that If Mr.. Marshall is to
continue his denunciation of business
and his threats to throw every concern
into a receivership the entire East will
surely be lost to the Democrats.
Concerning Champ Clark's frigidity
respecting Wilson many say Il told
you so!' They contend that Clark cam
not get over his defeat at Baltimore
and never will.
OF the two, the behavior of Gov.
Marshall is the more reprehensible one,
for his Maine speeches show such a
vast difference between his views and
Nose of the head OF the Democratic
Eet' that unless he makes an entire
S1ange of front to absolutely different
sentiments he will hurt Wilson'S
chances of election. The situation is
considered so serious that conservative
Democrats are asking DR.. Wilson to
rebuke his mate and to promptly re-
assure business.
Until now it has been believed that
the Democrats had the best of it ir
Maine. and would win in the State
election September 9, re-electing theil
State ticket and their Congressman
but the Clark and Marshall speeche:
bid fair to change all this.

Ohio's One-sided New Tax.

This contains two evils. The insist

the option of evading the tax jurisdic-

in their income since 1910 of about 10

reducing of teachers salaries or of
