BY TERRY TURNER,

It seems to me sometimes AZ II
every fellow thinks that the plays
made by his own teammates are best.
Maybe one sees them closer and ap-
preeiates them more because he
knows exactly what was planned and
sees exactly what comes of. And it
may be that We are prejudiced and
that the play that saves or wins a
game for us looks better than the one
the other fellow makes that beats US
out of a game.
don't think that either Is the case
with me. for Lajoie made the play,
and he makes his great plays 90 cas-
lily that a lot of times no one realizes
how great they are without stopping
to study out how mucn ground he COW

The play that believe was the
greatest he ever made was one that
scarcely was noticed In the accounts
of the game. Everyone said it was a
fine bit of work, but to mo It was won

In the "Harpers Weekley" of a re-
cent date appeared some lines by Don
c. Seitz called "The Burial of John
Paul Jones" which are a sardonic re-
Election on our national manners:
Under stairway, back in the hall,
Waiting to hear his country's call,
Cofiln'd in lead-a bundle of bones
Lies what is left of the great Paul
Jones!
Found in it's tomb by the merest
chance,
Borne with acclaim from the land of
France,
Brought with the pride of a Nations;
guest
To sleep forever in splendid rest!
Here in the school where his trade is
taught,
Where the lads learn how a battles
fought,
And how a hero's reward is paid
In promises broken ere they're made!
First to the air he tossed the stars,
The glorious flag with crimson bars
Who steer'd the Ranger across the
sea,
Beating the British to make us free.
Dsep in his debt is this selfish land
Which pays the bill with a grudging
hand:
So bear him back to the rough North
Sea
Where the chalk cliffs rise against the
lea.
Red are the waves where the Richard
sank
Deep on the edge of the Dogger Bank:
Here is a grave made ready to hand,
Better and drawer than one on land
A couple of shot, a canvas shroud,
A little thunder of cannon loud:
The thing is over; secure in Fame,
He needs no stone to mark his name!
Lucky the Captains who heard the he'll
And went to the depths in fight or
gale,
Never neglected back in a hall,
Awaiting in vain their country's call:
The whole thing, in short, is a mis-
cradle shame. And national disgrace
General Porter labored long and
without assistance to locate the body
of our first celebrated naval comman-
der.
Found at last, in an obscure spot in
Paris, it is brought to this country
borne with acclaim from the land Of
France" as Mr.. Seitz's verses say
and then-Congress does nothing for
seven years.
This is just one of the straws that
explain why the political winds blow
the way they do.
This is merely an instance of the
assininity, the uselessness. the selfish
ness and the utter superfluity of the
national legislature.
1t does nothing but draw it's salary
make speeches, send out tons of lit
erature" nobody reads under the
franking privilege. grand-stand and
stall"
II Hitchcock, by the way, would cut
out these same tons Of literature"
that nobody reads and seeds that no
body plants. that celebrated deficit
might be cut down without making the
magazines the goat.
What the country needs is govern
ment carried on on business basis
But. in the meantime. something
should be done toward honoring the
celebrated dead.
Why doesn't someone take up the
matter of the monument and chapel
for John Paul Jones?

&c disaster. Former Secretary
of the Navy H. A. Herbert, and
D. F. Micau, of Washington;
George Graham. Cassilla Cook
and Maurice Leon, prominent
lawyers of New York, already
are instituting legal proceedings
against the White Star Line for
recovery of damages for loss of
lives and baggage and pers nal
effects of the illfated Titanic's
passengers. These suits are
brought in the Federal Courts
here. 1t is thought, however,
that the great majority of the
suits will be brought in the Eng
lish Admiralty Courts immedi-
ately on completion of the British
investigation of the Tt anic
catastrophe now on in London.

Passing Of the Goose that Laid
the Golden Egg.

1t is generally known that
when Swisher withdrew from
the race for governor a few years
ago and Glasscock became the
accidental governor, the republi-
can state committee was, fnan-
cially, as flat as a pancake. 1t
was broke. 1t was in hook, and
had lost the ticket.
The committees financial
statement shows, says John c..
Bond, that Senator Scott came to
the relief of the committee to
the tune of $27, 500.
In scrapping around on its own
roost, the party in this state has
broken both wings of the goose
that has been laying these golden
eggs for the pas twenty-four
years, and Scott is succeeded as
national committeeman by Ed
wards.
With much anxiety the r pub.
lican brethren will listen for the
new goose to cackle. Elk.

SEND report, and the granting OF
immunity from prosecution tc
the harvester trust. While
Roosevelt was protecting the
harvester trust from prosecution
by the federal government, that
organization was being tried, and
was found guilty in Missouri,
Oklahoma and other states whose
legal machinery was not under
the domination of Wall street.
INTERESTING EXTRACTS FROM
THE TOWNSEND REPORT.
The harvester trusts bust
ness has been increased until to-
day it controls 20 per cent of the
total business, and thus single
institution has acquired a mon
opoly. George w. Perkins con-
Quoted the negotiations, and de-
vised and executed the plan
finally agreed upon. The Rookie
fellers and McColmicks own a
majority of the capital stock.
THE most effective weapons
employed by the harvester trust
are of the invisible kind. 1t is
directly allied with that group of
Standard Oil and commercial ag-
gregations commonly known as
the steel trust, the coal trust,
the railroad trust, the banking
trust, etc. Rebates, prices of
raw material, extension or re-
fusal of banking credit, can all
be manipulated with a discrimi-
mating favor which is murderous
to the competitors of the Inter-
national Harvester company.
This, then, is the kind of in
formation Theodore Roosevelt
had on the harvester trust when
he instructed his attorney gener-
al not to start suit against the
trust without letting him know,
with the consequence that the
suit was never started.
Considering these facts is it
any wonder that George w. Per-
kins, organizer of the illegal har-
vester trust and director of the
illegal steel trust. who might to-
day be in the penitentiary if Mr..
Roosevelt had not given him i'm
munity from prosecution, paid 81
a vote in New York city in the
hope of again placing Mr.. Roose-
welt in the White House?

for the family made public to-

tor, as drawn in this city in Sep
TENDER last. only a few days af-
ter his marriage to Miss Made
line Talmage Force, and approx
imately seven months before he
persisted with the sinking of the
Titanic.
Vincent Astor, a son, who will
come to age within the year, is
made the principal beneficiary
and re. iduary legatee. No hint
as to the value of the great es-
tate is given, and by the creation
of trust funds the testa.or has
followed as far as possible the
custom of his forebears to keep
the vast Aston real estate hold
ings intact. Valuations of the
estate run anywhere from SIS. =
900, 600 to $3.50, 100000. A c'ose
friend of the family sail tonight
that the smaller figul es, in Lis
opinion. are nearer the CO. rect
estimate.
Aside from provisions for Vim
cent Astor, the Will provides for
unconditional requests of only
$276, 800. Among these there is
but one of a charitable nature
This is $50, 600 to the st. PauPs
SCI 90! at Concord, N. H. The
remainder of the legacies are to
relatives, friends and fai hfu
servants.
Nearly all other provisions of
the will, made public, deal with
the trust funds of which there
are three: 100000 for the
young widow; S., 900, 900 for the
Colonel's young daughter, Muir
lei, the child of his former wife.
Alva Willing Astor, and $4,000. :
600 for the expected poslhumous
child of the present widow.
This latter provides for leach
child who shall survive the tes-
tator, other than mis- son William

No provision is made for the
wife who divoced him and if the
young widow dies or marries
