The Senators faltered bit and then came back with
greater yigor and eclat and rushed their winding

AMATEURS WAITING
FOR POST, SERIES
Intercity Games Between Richmond and Washington Is
Next Big Event in Which Local Sandlotters
Take Interest

Everything Is In the best Of shape for
the amateurs and nothing now remains
to be done in the commission except the
arrangement for the post-season series
and the series with Richmond, according
to President Robert H. Young.
There will be meeting of the anna
teur commission for some time accord
ing to the president who is expecting
communications from Richmond In re-
gard to the meeting of the officials of
the two cities in the matter of arrange
ment OF rules for the coming intercity
series. Unless the members ask for a
meeting nothing will be done In the
way Of getting the moguls together for
another session.
IT Is thought likely that the commits
sion members will have something to
say as to the eligibility of the Cornell
team OF the Capital City Circuit when
1t comes to a test of teams for the post
season series. Several intinations have
been given that the Cornell team would
be protested, but the matter has been
allowed to rest.
Yesterday was a good day for the am
ateur teams and the games were for
the most part fairly close. Hard fought
games come ever so often. although the
contests are frequently one-sided. In
the Capital City circuit, Rockaway and
Y. M. c. A. fought to tie while the In
dependence League game, as Is general
ly the case, was close and exciting. The
Sunday School offered good game,
while the Railroad Y. NJ. G. A. teams
presented the fans with fast contest.

TO the voters of Cooke County:

hereby announce myself as can
didate for Representative in the next
Legislature, subject to the will of the
Republican party ofthis county asex-
pressed in primary, yet to be or
dered, by the executive committee.
The next Legislature will be an i'm
portant one and the people of this
county ought to send representative
who will stand loyalty by the admin
istration of Governor Hooper if he is
reelected, as it now appears that he
will be. The fact that there were three
or fourmen elected to the last Legis-
ture as Republicans, lined up with the
Regular Democrats and betrayed their
constituents, renders it important for
the people to exercise care and caution
in the election Of Senators and Repre-
sentatives.
II elected, I pledge myself to the
support of every principle set out in
the excellent platform adopted by the
Republican State Con, en!ion of March
II. Respectfully,

WHAT IS THE CAUSE

Leslie's Weekly undertakes TO an
swer this question by few brief sent

The fault is with the people them
selves. They are dissatisfied because
they are dissatisfied. Their ills are
imaginary, pure and simple. The high

after all, and the great captain of in

which gather IN to themselves The

Leslie's gives its Endorsement TO the
view of John Kirby, Jr., president of

Political agitation by demagogc

interests ct the expense Of the rea! well

make the people believe that be is the
Moses who can cure their ills and
remodel society to'conform to all their
notions.
"He is right" says Leslie's; "the

the educated too Indifferent
The yellow press, the undertaking
magazines and The demagogues, we are
told are to blame for il all, and if the
people would only be satisfied and not
think about running their affairs in
their own way, but allow the trusts,
the protected industries, the steel
magnates and the money kings to do
this, then everything would be all
right, and though the people might
continue to get only scan: proportion
OF the products of their labor they
would be satis!ied-the main thing is
