stunts upon the difficult right field dump at Athletic park, and at home and abroad he has been toast of the fan public.
 Last season Wiseman eased up to some extent iI his play, and although he still looks to be about 19. the grim reaper has succeeded in making inroads on Docs form, and with the possibility of losing out staring him in the face he determined to step out of the game before being ordered out He states that he expects to| play some independent ball around his home town. Cincinnati, the coming year, if there is no objection and that if pos sible, and there is no kick at the local gate, he will attend the league opening here. Doc is known to have practiced thrift and to be we'll fixed He has al ways worked the year around with 8. good winter job of some sort at Cincin- nati. He reports that he is now well healed in the position line with per manent berth in the local city hall
 Wiseman enjoys the unique distinction of never having been put out of a game by an umpire during the entire term of his lengthy service throughout the life of this league. He was never known to kick his only protest, no matter how raw the decision, being a somewhat sore and diSgusted expression. His speciality has been the ability with which he played the very difficult angle of the peculiar elevation leading to the right field fence, his work as mountain climber and his ability to take fly balls upon the moun- tain side from any position while at full speed, causing him to be called mar vel.
 Doc quits the game with the best will of the, local management and fans and with many testimonials of popular esteem. his most prized trophy being a diamond studded watch presented him by Nash villes fans just before the closing con- test of the memorable season of 1908. when the pennant rested upon that game. As a token of practical appreciation of the gift Doc brought in the only score of that game when he singled to center with the bases full, thus breaking up the contest and winning the pennant for Nashville over New Orleans.

Principles,

Peoples principles" says an A,

tho influence we might expect them
to have. Principles are nothing IN
themselves. They have to be held
by particular persons sad they ere

their principles as certain folk do
horse-chestnuts-in their pockets, az
a specific against d~isease-and then
go along much as II they were not
there. Others wear them like a gar

many ways of wearing tho toga. 9th

is more unequal than in the United

is o unequal than in the United
States?
II the protective policy makes th'
rich richer and the poor poorer, VII.
is it that the poor Of France, which II
an industrial and agricultural country
and protects its industries with q higf
tariff, keep on growing richer and
richer?
No evidence exists to support the
claim that under protection "the
American farmer and laborer are the
chief sufferers"
The cole mean by which the tariff
policy could injure them would be by
restricting their economic chance,
limiting the demand for the products
OF their labor and reducing their pro.
fts or pay.
But there 10 evidence in the recov.
cry Of the country from the panic Of
1907 and from the tide of prosperity
rolling over II this hummer that the
tariff helps to maintain wages, to di.
versify and broaden the demand for
labor and to increase commerce.
The country's foreign commerce for
the fiscal year OF 19ll-12 refutes the
charge that the protective policy re-
stricts the returns and opportunities
of labor and the expansion of exports.
Since 1897 the annual value of our
exports has risen from 81, O56, 600, 900
to o.. 2O4. 0O0. 600 and the record was
broken only this last year. Manufac.
lures, which used to constitute only q
fourth or q third OF u exports, have
now become nearly two thirds of them.
This growth of American exports,
and especially of those of American
manufactures, show that there has
constantly been larger and larger en-
of labor at home.
Twenty millions of Americans en-
gagged in American industries are paid
best wages and live on the highest
level OF life enjoyed by any workers in
The world because they live and work
under the policy of protection to
industries and labor

Preparing For State Fair.

HELENA, August 1.-During the
past week the management OF the
state fair has received word
q large number of the members
Of the advisory board of the exposi.
ton. on which every county OF the
state is represented, regarding the ex.
hibits which their respective counties
expect to have at Helena this fall.
The interest manifested In every sec.
ton OF the state in the fair is greater
than ever before, and the exhibits
promise to excel accordingly.
The board of directors has been in
formed that Missoula and Ravslli
counties have pooled inerests for a
western Montana exhibit and will
spend 5000 in gathering q represen.
collection OF the products of the
Bitter Root. F. A. Hazelbaker, in
charge OF the Beaverhead county ex.
hibit, and c. q. Draper. In charge OF
the Carbon county exhibit, who have
both been In helena on business con.
nected with the fair, report the ex.
htbits from their counties will be
record breakers. Even Silver Bow
county has engaged space for 30 agri.
cultural exhibit.
The racing department of the fair
reports that the pro spects are tha,
there will be at least 200 running
horses here for the meet. There will
be more than go, 600 hung up in speed
purses and these are attracting horse
owners from every section OF the Ess,

is THIS A STEAL.

Several times a day the office of The
United Labor Bulletin is called up and
inquiry made about the Colorado Indus
trial Review and solicitors that are COW
ering the city and state soliciting adver
tisements and collecting for same in ad-
vance. From Colorado Springs come
communications and telephone messages
wanting to know If the people behind
that publication are responsible for the
contracts made. The Retail Association
of the Chamber of Comemrce has been
appealed to by business men to protect
them from solicitors from that long
since-dead puDncation. who. they claim.
have approached them while in
drunken condition, and have threatened
them if they refuse to give them adver-
tisements or money. In many cases cash
has been handed them to get them out
of the way. Secretary Collision of the
Retail Association says it is little short
of blackmail and that some action
should be taken to protect the name of
organized labor from being represented
by such men. Dave Gendren. who has
done the state" for many fake editions
on alleged labor papers in the past, has
charge of the lob" This kind of work

reduction in duty sugar would reach the con-
sumer.
In the opinion of the committee, to menace
destroy a great home industry which is overcoming
monopoly by its competition and industry which
IS the life of insular possessions all for prize,
the maximum size of which under most favorable
circumstances is limited to IA cents per capita per
annum. would be worse than folly.
The committee Is convinced that small cut IN
the rate of duty on sugar would be absorbed by
the refiners and would not be reflected In the price
10 consumers and furthermore that the only other
effect of such reduction would be to deplete our
national revenues and retard destroy the further
expansion the domestic beet-sugar industry, thus
benefiting only the refiners and perhaps some of
try through saving them from further wholesome
competition
The committee is convinced that the goal of
cheaper sugar for American consumers can be
reached most quickly and surely through the added
competition which would result from the further
expansion of the domestic beet-sugar industry and
that the direct and indirect benefits aecruing to
the farmer by reason of such expansion would be
of greater value than the entire expend for
sugar.
To make even a slight reduction of duty on
raw sugar or in any manner to indicate to prospec-
i've sugar-deveopment capital that our govern
mental policy concerning the further expansion of
our beet-sugar industry is fixed and unwavering
would be nmica to the welfare of the nation.
Because of the fact that the Dutch standard and
iifferental paragraphs of the present sugar sched
ale yield no revenue because they give the refners
m undue advantage and because of the further fact
hat their removal would not work serious hard
ship to our home producers your committee begs TO
report substitute bill which abolishes the Dutch
standard and the differential and retains the present
rates of duty importations of raw sugar.

THE LABEL ON CITY PRINTING.

Members of the city council trying to kill
the ordinance that requires that the label OF the
Allied Printing Trades Council be placed all city
printing This is made. it is understood, so
that friends of those councilmen who conduct print
ing offices that are entitled to the label get
their share of the city printing. City Attorney
Bryant has given opinion to Commissioner OF
Supplies Annear to the effect that supreme court
decisions in other states have made such ordinances
null and void and that it cannot be enforced be-
cause it denies the privilege of giving the city print
ing to the lowest bidder. While this may be true,
vet at the time it remained for the city admin
stration to take steps that will tend to the repeal
Of ordinance that protected hundreds of families
rather than to place the burden of the litigation
and proof of the illegality of the ordinance upon
the small printing of the city that seek to
undermine of the best paid class of workmen
in the city. The Bulletin believes that such friends
of union labor in the city administration as Thomas
Annear. Otto Thum and Danny Sullivan Will use
their great influence to prevent an act that Will
greatly injure hundreds of well paid workmen and
make enemies for the administration that few non
union printing firms that underbd their competitors
by underpayng their employees may feed at the
trough of fat printing contracts Thomas NJ Hyder,
the retiring alderman from the Third ward, was the
father of the label ordinance that has remained on
the books of the city for six years. Labor Will
closely watch the progress of this the latest OF
reform campaigns.
