In the nomination OF Woodrow VIII
son the democratic party regains It's
ancient estate of worth, of dignity, of
power. II escapes the thralldom Of lit
tie men and ignoble leaders. II takes
as its chief a man OF that statesman
Ike quality which BELTS the presi-
dental Office. The nomination of Gov
ernor Wilson will unite the party.
There is not democrat who can find
holding his vote from such a candi-
date. Search for the taints and blem-
ishos, the imprints OF subserviency
20 the selfish and the predatory, Of
which We have heard so much, and

not owe his nomination 70 Mr. Bryan,
nor will he be In the slightest de-
gree under Mr.. Bryan's control or
guidance he Is too Arm, too self-re-
liant, some would say too obstinate.
When the legions OF selfappointed
advisers converge upon Trenton dur
ing the campaign, or upon Washington
after the Inauguration. obstinacy will
be an ever-present help and dis
tinguishing virtue. Mr.. Wilson is not a

For the democratic party it means
salvation. That in itself, in this land
where party government prevails, will
be of unreasonable benefit. Both par
ties must be sound If they are to

other The democratic party in the
nomination OF Governor Wilson is re-
born 1t will be recognized, it will

quickens the sluggish currents OF
trade and enterprise. II does these !
beneticent things, first because in the
last three months We have cast out
so many devils, and second, because
what ever may befall on election day,
a gentleman will be in the White
house during the next four years. a
man Of sanity and balance, a man
sincerely desiring the welfare of the
American people, man OF sobriety
and principle, not a savage or a Wis
ionary. II is the ideal condition, with
candidate on either side under
whose administration the country
would be content.
Not long ago some apprehension
was felt lest Governor Wilson was
going quite too far along the progress
sive path. We shared that feeling our
selves, and We admonished him that
some Of his later opinions seemed to
be too much at variance with those
he had formerly held and expressed.
But Governor Wilson, as We have said.
is not radical, he is a moderate pro-
gressive. Our constitutions have
time out of mind" he said in an in
terview published in The Times last
winter, committed us to representa-
/ tive government, and have not found
any thoughtful man anywhere who
wanted TO get rid of it." The initia-
tive and the referendum, in his judg-
ment, are not for everyday use. They
are remedies by which the people may
bring legislatures not properly repre-
sentative back under their control.
And these are necessarily state cues
tons. In that interview Mr.. Wilson
was asked, DO you think that war
should be made on the combinations? ?"
He prepared this answer:
I do not think that war should
be made on anything, our problem
Is one OF equitable readjustment. 1
do not understand that the policy of
our law was ever directed against
combinations was such. against their
mere size, but only against combina-
tions in restraint of trade. Combina-
ton has proved an extremely success
ful means Of economy and efficiency;
but restraint of trade is another mat
ter and affects the healthful operation
OF our whole economic system"
In other words. penalties are for
those who violate the law. for those
who are guilty of inexcusable wrong.
Again. Governor Wilson said:
The whole country depends upon
its business. Where will you draw the
line between those who are business
men and those who are not, between
those whom business affects and
those whom 1t does not affect? No
one who cares for the welfare of the
country as a whole can overlook or
do an Intentional disservice to its bus
mess men, for they are in a sense all
OF Us. The process Of tariff revision
(Which Governor Wilson declared to
be the main question now before the
country Ike everything else We have
10 undertake must be a process OF
readtustment, not revolutionary. but
carried carefully forward upon a def
nite principle. That principle is &
'arif for revenue"

BY Cy Young


The very best advice l can give
to any young ball player is--use
common horse sense.
The player with natural ability
who uses horse sense is bound to
make a reputation that will be a
lasting credit to himself.
No one outside of baseball has
the least idea of the temptations
thrown in the way of q player;
and unfortunately, the better the
player Is, the more aIluring the
temptations he finds it hard to
resist, even il he happens TO be a
young fellow with a lot of will
power.
Right living and a clear brain
are the biggest helps a man can
have in any kind of business;
certainly In baseball they are a
players stock in trade.
Every player should have his
money. If he isn't spending the
money he earns on the diamond
he is not nearly so apt to 60
wrong. The temptation to a
youngster, especially in the major
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-08-12

league, where he probably feels
the allurement of big cities for
the first time is almost irresist-
Iible. The man who can pass
temptation without faltering, get
his bank roll into safekeeping,
keep regular hours and refrain
from being a glutton in either eat
ing or drinking, will, with natural
ability, come out on top, with the
respect of the public and money
to take care of him when he is
no longer useful as a player.
Almost as many players are
ruined in the off season as dur
ing the playing months. Too
many young players make the
fatal mistake of lOasfing all win
ter, or of securing employment at
work which keeps them indoors,
and this is poison to an athlete.
This may not tell upon them
for a while, but it's bound to in
the long run; and of course, If a
man goes into baseball as
means of livelihood, he wants to
stay as long as possible.
A farm, I think, is the ideal
place to winter. You don't need
to do hard manual labor, but the
farmer get plenty of exercise
and enough rest to keep in good
condition.

PORTLAND, Aug. IL. - By

made. Bedford relieved him and
held things until the end.
Ward Mcdowell starred with

Bloomfield and Krause were
opposed In the second of the aft
srnoon. At the end of the second

favor of the Tigers. Bloomfield

Vancouver through the ragged

thing was o. X. until the sixth,

and didn't land until after three
runs were Tailed and the game
bagged.
Willis pitched a fine game for
the Beavers and deserved the vic
tory though Kaufman was equal

license to win except for the way
that his teammates booted the

SHORT SPORT TIPS

Again We have shut-out game
with pitching honors even, and
thenew man from the bushes,
Ralph Churchill, of Spokane,
averaging even with Jerry Giror,
Portland's southpaw. President
Ed Watkins Is lucky in picking
up youngsters IL the team Is
breaking on the bad luck side i'm
playing. Churchill has speed,
curves and shoots, and above all,
control. While it may be said
that he lost his own game through
failure to back up Holderman
properly on first In the first In
ming, he deserved better batting
support from the team. Should
experience improve him as it does
other pitchers and he can live up
to the standard he set Friday,
we are safe in predicting he will
soon find himself in fast COM
pany in the majors while Wat
kins pockets another good bunch
of coin.
Neither the fans or the sport
critics of Tacoma are acquainted
with Connors, the new man who
went on second Friday while
Heine Jansen played the bench
and Goodman went back to his
position at third. His fielding
was perfect but he did not come
up to Jansen's standard of bat
ting. Yet he may be another find
in the youngster class.
Million seems to be improving
in hitting. Friday he got
hits out Of four times UP, as did
Cy Neighbors, who Is playing
better game each day. Two more
stolen bases for Cy, also.
With Mill still out of the game
with a broken finger, 1t begins TO
appear doubtful If he will get to
do much work in the short END
of the season remaining. Through
his injury the team lost one or
its headiest players.
While both Churchill and Girot
struck out four men, Churchill
