LaFollette Attacks Roosevelt.

Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette in
printed article asks Col. Roosevelt for
the second time to publish his expense
account, or else "a candid statement of
his reason for thus spurning one Of the
basic principles of public morality and
political decency."
When LaFollette made public a state
ment of his campaign receipts during
the Ohio primary contest, he called on
Roosevelt to do likewise. There has
been no response.
LaFollette says In part
big business, with big money de-
rived from unfair privileges, is ever
in politics and Is ever ready to place its
funds back of a likely winner, who Is
either subservient in the sense that a
chisel is subservient to the hand of the
carpenter, or servlceable to the extent
that he is harmless in performance.
Special privilege puts money into po-
litcal campaigns by way OF investment
From such investments. 1t demands
substantial rewards. 1t Is to protect
the public interest from rewards such
as these, conceived in twilight and con-
summated in secret, that the people de-
mand publicity OF campaign contribu-
lions.
Theodore Roosevelt entered the con-
test for the presidential nomination as
a progressive He made a strenuous
campaign for votes and a noisy scram-
BILE for sound delegates on the ground
that he represented progressive doc
trines. In this fight he had the back
ing of the Steel Trust and the 'Har-
vester Trust Financial giants like
Perkins. Hanna and Munsey contributed
to his cause. His campaign was char
acterized by a riotous expenditure Of
money. Yet he has made no public ac-
counting He has not taken the Amer
lean people to his confidence He has
ignored the progressive principle Of
publicity"

FARMING IN GERMANY.
The Contrast Between the Ways There
and ours-the Village system-lack Of
Farm Neutrality-suspicious. as Farm
Hands-ParceIs Post.

Farm Macninery-WoWeH DIS III
Hands-Parcels Post.
The following paragraphs are taken
from an article contributed to the New
York Tribune Farmer by Homer C.
Price, Dean of Ohio State College, and
written from Halle Saale, Germany:
The two things that make the strong
est impression on an American farmer
when he first visits Europe are no
houses in the country, no fences on the
farms. The farmer as we know him in
America, living on his own farm, is I'M
known in the most of Europe. The far
mers live together in little villages and
the land lies in large areas without a
house, fence or a building on it, ex-
cept an occasional shed for the storing
of crops and for shelter. The absence OF
fences is due to the intensity of their
system of farming and the cheapness of
labor. Land is too valuable to be &C.
cupied by fences, and 1t Is cheaper to
have some one herd the livestock while
on pasture than to build fences.
To me 1t was depressing when l first
rode through the country and could not
see single farm house. On the other
hand, German told me recently that
1t had the same effect on him to travel
through the United States and see the
farmhouses standing by themselves, sur
rounded by their farm buildings, and
never a farm village clustered around a
church. German professor who trav-
eled across Ohio. Indiana and Illinois this
last fall complained to me that he did
not see farm village on his entire trip,
and the country did not look very in
wiling to him to live In.
So 1t is a matter of taste, and what
pleases one does not please another.
Those of us who have always lived in
dependently, with neighbors close enough
but not too near would not be willing
to live crowded together In a farm vii
lage where there can be little privacy,
and children as we'll as chickens must all
run together. The European farmer on
the other hand would not care to live
as the American farmer does; 1t would
be too lonely, too unsociable, and work
could not be done in common so readily.
For example. one woman can take care
of all the children Of the village while
the other women go into the fields to
work.
But whatever the social advantages or
disadvantages may be OF the farmers liv-
ing together In small villages, II Is GER
tainly not desirable from an economic
standpoint. The great loss of time In

To Cast Out Fear,

First. think to the bottom Of things.
Realize that every mans life is a plan
of God, as Bushnell says. that you
were created for some definite purpose
and you have a right, as have all Gods
creatures, to joy.
Second, you can find that joy right
where you are. Souls are not cured by
transportation, but by discovering and
strengthening their internal resources.
Third, obey your conscience. Get out
OF any situation, quit doing anything at
which your conscience protests.
Then find the work you like, no mat
ter how poorly paid and no matter how
absurd II may seem to others.
Live your own life. Revere your own
instincts. Respect your own tastes. Be
yourself. Brave the universe.
God Almighty's great, big, wide world
is teeming with delights for all souls
that dare to be simple.-[Dr. Frank
Crane.

Advice to Boys and Girls.

Save your pennies and send them to
the Hyde Park Savings bank
That bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because 1T wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have lit
tie bank account of their own, even
though the initial deposit is the small
est possible sum.
Children who commence an account on
penny a niclde, or dime, often grow
into capitalists later on.
The way to become capitalist is to

showing of the team at the first Of
the year Earl Fleharty seems to
have discarded his bean ball"
since he injured ELAN at BirminR-

ever. that it was his chief asset
during the first part of the season.
He and Charley Case can be de
pended on to win a majority of

Of the season
Manager schwartz would be fool
ish to entertain any high aspira-
tons for this season. but he is
bending all Of his efforts toward
getting a winning team for 1913.
From The present outlook, every
member OF the local team will be
back next season. with the proba-
bic exception of Summers, who
has a chance to stick in the big
leagues
Brooklyn May Want James.
Manager Schwartz is sure to re-
turn, and baltimore. Lindsay and
Perry will be back for infleld jobs.
In the outfcld Harry Welchonce,
one of the leading hitters Of the
league; Jud DAILY. Del Young and

of these men are good hitters and

1t Is probable that Schwartz will

G. R. & P. Co. can prevail on the
present board of directors to serve
another year. Constant changes in
the board are bad. There Is a
world of technical information that
those who serve as heads of base
ball association must know. 1t
takes a year at least to become
really familiar with the duties and
the technique" of the job. The
present board has served as well
as anybody in the world could. If
they can be prevailed upon to be
"it' for another year 1t will be
helpful.
THE big question that the board
L Of directors must face Is that
of naming manager. The wretch
ed position Of the Cracker club
since Bill Smith left has been, in
a large measure. due to the man
ayers. Otto Jordan is one of the
best men the sun ever shone on.
But Otto doesn't happen to be
manager.
1t isn't any discredit to a man
not to be manager. He might
make a fine president Of the Unit
ed States or an excellent king, and
yet be a punk manager. Being a
successful manager is a peculiarly
complicated calling. If a man falls
at it he fails. and that ends it, AS
Barney" Bernard, OF the Cleve-
land club, remarked the other day,
There have only been a few man
ayers in the world, anyway-and
most of 'em are dead"
Hemphill was considerably worse
as a failure than anybody else At
lanta ever had, because he couldn't
keep either himself or his men In
line. And yet 1t looked at the first
of this season as though Hemphill
was the ideal manager. He was
experienced. intelligent, earnest,
respected by his former team
mates on terms of friendship with
big league managers. But he failed.
1t IS up to the baseball associa-
ton to select a man who can take
the backing given a mogul here in
Atlanta and manufacture a ball

Rube Marquard VIII Clean Up
$35,OOOif Giants Cop Pennant

On the best Of authority 1t is
learned that one of the vaudeville
syndicates has offered Marquard a
22 weeks engagement at a weekly
salary OF $1,000. This offer holds
good only If New York wins the
pennant, so you may rest assured
that at least one member of the
Giant pitching staff is pulling
against the Cubs.
If the Giants hold their lead to
the end, Marquards earnings for
one year will easily reach $4,000.
If they win the big title. he will
make more than that Further
more, he will be in a position next
spring practically to name his own
terms. Let Rube's luck, or part Of
it, hold out for another season or
two and 1t is safe to say that his
baseball career will mean at least
100000 to him. Vanguard is still
young man, and If he takes care
of himself there is no reason whv
he should not last seven or eight
years more. He can not hope to 60
on as long as Mathewson has. for
he hasn't the ability to conserve his
strength when 1T Is not needed.
This is undoubtedly Rube's best
year, and it is up to him to make
the most of il.
In Minors Six Years AGO.
Six years ago Vanguard was
pitching for the Canton club in the
Central league at the princeIy SAL
airy of s125 per month. Every
batter in that circuit had a whole
some respect for him, but the al
most unanimous verdict was that
he would never stay UP" In the
big show because of his awkward
ness and his weakness in fielding.
In those days Rube never dreamed
of the good fortune awaiting him.
He was content to go along win
ming big majority of his games
and taking his frequent seedlings
from mates and manager. Yes,
RUDE was "bawled out" Just as Oft
en- in the bushes as he has been
since McGraw took hold Of him,
and it was undoubtedly his early
teaching that made him take Mo-
Graw's abuse so calmly.
Well, as every one knows. he
came up, was sent back and came
up again. He isn't graceful nor a
good fielder today, and there ara
those who say he would be out
blowing but for his luck, but he Is
getting more money than an over
whelning majority of us and he
has taken enough verbal punish
ment to deserve II.

or three years for a man to be-
come a manager. no matter what
his natural ability Is. That rather
adds to the complications, as may
be observed
| T may be said in conclusion that
the Crackers got away with a
game yesterday-and they did 1t
with no less a pitching authority
in the box than Al Demaree, Giant
to-be and the highest priced man
ever sold by a Southern league
team. More than that, they did it,
despite the fact that Al allowed
only two hits. A little wildness by
the Gull in the first inning, a lucky
hit, flicker in the infield and q
steal of the platter by Bailey, gave
the Crackers three runs and they
needed no more. Brady pitched
excellent ball and deserved what
he got. He allowed hits. all right:
but when times got troublesome he
steadied down neatly.

THAT baseball can make real

THAT baseball can make real
fortunes for owners of major
league clubs has been dem
onstrated time and again. That 1t
can do almost as we'll for ball play
ers is about to be proven by Rube
Vanguard, this years sensation in
pitching way. Ability and appli-
cation are requisites when 1t comes
to making money, but the combi-
nation possessed by Rube-abiIity
and luck-is the happiest
That Marquard has ability few
can doubt after his feat in winning
nineteen straight victories No one
outside of New York will admit
that he is the best of the games
left handlers. The general opinion
is that the other famous southpaw,
RUDE Waddell, in his best days,
outClassed the New Yorker in me-
chanical effectiveness, and that
Rucker, Plank, White and Sallee
have been or are just as good as
McGraw's RUDE. But the general
public overlooks the fact that sew
eral of Marquard's triumphs were
fiukey, that he has been hit hard
and that his shut out victories have
been scarce. And the general pub
lie is what counts In money
sense.
Lucky To Be With Giants.
RUDE is lucky in that he is pitch
ing for New York instead Of Bos-
ton, St. Louis or Brooklyn. He is
lucky to be with a winner with a
team of heavy hitters, which makes
victories easy for him Nothing but
the Giants downfall in the race for
the pennant can prevent Mar
guards making more money than
ever was accumulated before in a
single year by a ball player. IL
the Giants repeat and, then capture
the worlds championship, so much
the better. But if they only sue
coed in getting the National league
flag and If Marquard can pitch one
good game in the big series his for
tune is made.
In the. first place, there is his
salary. Because Of the fact that
he was OF very little use to the
Giants for three years, the chances
are that his annual stipend is not
more than $4,000, if 1t is that much.
But there will be a bonus this year
for him amounting to at least
$1,000. Then. New York sporting
men have promised to reward him
for his great work, and it is safe
to say he will be presented with at
least another $4,000 by them. In
addition, he will be given an au-
tomobile, whether he is chosen as
the Nationals most valuable man
or not. If the sporting writer's do
not elect him his friends will. The
worlds series split will net him
either $2,7OO or $500 depending on
the Giants success or failure.
$4,000 in Vaudeville.
And then comes the real money.
