can he do How they would like TO

The result OF this convention was
largely determined by the result at
Chicago, in political sense. That is.
the logic of II Is. for the Democrats to
name n radical for President. and for
this reason The Democrats of the
country are certain they are coming
back into power. are certain Taft cam
not be elected, and SO are many Re-
publicans. Hence. II the Democrats
name a man who is only fairly salts
factory all Democrats Will vote for
him because they see chance OF VIC

to win is to hold the normal Demo-
cratic vote.
But, II is pointed out, II the con-

This is speculative politics however
for 1t is not likely the convention will

men on the ground who have already
heard from the Roosevelt people that
II would be very good politics to
name a highly progressive Democrat
and await Roosevelt events, the init

might indorse the right sort of men.

The right man to name is the right

THE POINT AT ISSUE

And now as to Japan and China, II
IS In these countries that the eist OF
the whole disturbance lies. 1t was
largely for access to their borders that
the great ditch was built. 1t is in
these lands that the traders of all ma.
tons have looked for their future ac.
tlv1ties. But as the hour of opening
Of the ditch approaches how different
the situation from that which once
was dreamed! Japan now has her
own ships penetrating to every port in
the orient and reaching out to proc,i.
caiiy every importan; harbov on the
globe.
Japan also plants her crcdi. hanks
IN the heart of China. in the midst of
san Francisco. New York and Iondon
And. to cap the arch of her intentions
she bestows 4 bounty of S1oo,o0o rnon
every native mail ship that makes
round trip voyages TO any country of
magnitude

The nrst game of bail was an Aztec

The sort Of bail that the .Aztecs
played was very popular with the pub
lie. just as tie hi. league draws at
Ieation today. In one game they used
ball Of rubber or elestic rosin and
in another sort OF contest those made
of gold.
The ancient Aztec game was called
tctololue and was played in court

were clothed only in nastlati or

Of the wall OF the court. The feat Of
bunting that ball with the thigh and
sending it through one. Of those holes
required great deal Of skill. as might
be imagined. Agility was one Of the
prime requisites Of an Aztec big
Lacquer. ANY player touching the ball
with the hand lost point.
The game with the gold balls was Il
favorite o. Montezuma. II ls said thar
when CorteZ staged his little historical
sk1t known as the conquest Of Mexico
and took Montezuma prisoner the royal
captive spent great deal Of his time
in durance playing the game with gold
balls. He often challenged the Spanish
general to a contest.
