want to hear this music by the
band:
Oh. the pitchers at the plate. and the
batter's at the bat.
And I am so much excited that I don't
know where I'm at.
And I'm shouting while they're rout-
ing everything along the line,
Hip. hip. hooray, 1 shout today. for
the home team baseball nine.
There are four stanzas of verse. and
n chorus changes a little with each
n of them. The music is Wagneri-
an.
Then there's another woman who's
taken snapshot photographs of the
players on both mines and who's long
ing to inclose them in little forget-me-
not frames to sell to their admirers.
But the players themselves have OBJ
Jected to that procedure, being willing
to leave the laurels Of sentiment to
RUDE Marquard.
The literary society for the intro
duction of books by baseball players
has also failed as a concessionary ven-
ture. For it is a remarkable truth
that while the general public has some
interest in the byproducts of ball
players off the field. the chance is toe
great to risk while they are on. No
body want to read when he car
watch. And there's the danger. a
very grave danger. that the author OF
How to Win Ten Games in Success.
sion" may have an off-day just when
his book is being cried through the
grand stands.
And so the game Of trying to ge,
public approval for private enterprise
by study OF public taste goes on. Since
women are in the field of uplifting the
taste of the baseball public. some.
things going to be improved. that:
certain. And after the disastrous ven.
ture of the man who brought a sup.
ply of 10000 aerial l~eatherette pads
to the west side park last summer and
sold three. there seems some reason
for feminine belief that the little sis.
tiers Of sculpture and ivory balls car
gamble just as we'll as the men.

Before agitation was started for
such a bill promoters Of Milwaukee,.
Racine and Kenosha got together and
agreed to bury the Ratchet ii a law

Gzas has gone may your failures and defeats have
had power to you into despair: may your
trials have added to your strength may your suffer-

whatever of asperty there was in your disposition:
may the wrongs and receptions practised upon you
by others, have caused you to lose faith in human
ity: may you face the New Year with determination
to crowd it with good work: may you have no fear
that prevents your putting the armor for the Right

give advice to the blacks which is fraught with
SO much peril to the whites?
The latest of the Bryan charges is as I'M
founded as that which he made last year: He
virtually accused Underwood of being the tool
of the Steel Trust, and of blocking a revision
of the iron and steel schedules. Not only the
ways and means committee, but the whole
House Indignantly characterized the charge
as an outrageous SANDER.
And, right noe0, there is pending in Con-
gress bill which cuts the tariff duties on iron
and steel from 80 to 40 per cent! That bill
was introduced by Oscar Underwood the al
legged tool of the Steel Trust.
It is in order for Mr.. Bryan to retract
and apologize. Will he do it? Of course,

why All This POtller About Charles w. Morse?

Some years ago, he was lifted into promi-
hence by peculiarly odious scandal in which
another mans wife was implicated, and which
led to divorce case which disguised everyone
who read about it. In order that Morse might
marry his present wife, the most disreputable
lawyer in New York was employed. Abe
Hummel had a reputation of getting divorces
for rich people, whether the facts warranted
them or not.
In the Morse case, he q0as accused Of using
perjured testimony. If he did, Morse could
not have been ignorant of it. If he did, Morse
must have been party to it. Abe Hummel
was prosecuted, was convicted, and was given
a short term in Sing Sing.
1t was said that his punishment was NOM

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-01-04

In his latest TRADE against Oscar Under
wood Mr.. Bryan asserts that if you will
ask the railroad attorneys who they are
for, they will name Underwood. If you ask
any Of the agents Of the Trusts, they will
declare for Underwood.
This is silly. How many railroad lawyers
has Mr.. Bryan asked about it? How many
Trust officials? Will he please give us their
names?
He tells you to ask the railroad lawyers
and the Trust agents whom they prefer-and
he knows very we'll that you have no means
of doing so. He adopts that unmanly and dis
ingenious method of fy-blowing the fair name
of his Alabama rival, with the full knowledge
that neither he nor his readers can do what he
suggests.
How could any one set about asking the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-01-04

IN the penitentiaries of this country, there
are probably ten thousand criminals who
would like to get out. At very modest
estimate, there must be at least thousand of
these whose health has suffered from confne-
ment, and whose physical and mental con-
dition would be vastly improved by full
pardon. Not all Of these diseased felons are
star 6oarders IN q frst-czass hospital. Not all
of them enjoy the privilege of having their
wives, children and friends come to their
bedsides with the ministrations of coincidence.
With Charles w. Morse it is different.
Morse is privileged character. His lawyers
are the best that money can retain. The news
papers give or sell, to him all the publicity
that he desires. The dailies are full of Morse.
The weelzlies will soon be loaded with Morse.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-01-04

The monthly magazines will no doubt break
out, with Morse. The Attorney General Of
the United States devotes his attention to
Morse. The President of the United States is
deeply concerned for Morse. Medical officers
of high degree in the U. S. army are detailed,
at our public eupense, to make an expert ex-
animation of Morse. Special correspondents
of metropolitan newspapers are sent hundreds
Of miles to inspect, cross-examine, and report
on, Morse. The telegraph wires are kept hot
with Morse. The telephones no doubt ring
and tingle with Morse.
Why all this local and national commootion
about one fezon? What great benefit has he
conferred upon his country? What has he
done to maize himself the f0vorite criminal of
a sympathetic people?

For dark and discolored skin, en-

blemishes a simple lotion made at
home is highly recommended. Dissolve
an original package of mayatOne in a
half pint witch hazel and rub a little
on the face, neck and arms each morn
ing. This is better than powder, for
it tends to correct faulty compilations
and makes the skin soft, smooth and
youthful looking.
PLAIN pyroXin applied to thin and
straCgly eyebrows with finger tips
causes them to grow in thick and beau
tiful. Eyelashes will come in long and
curly if pyroXin is applied to the roots
with fOrefinger and thumb.
a dry shampoo refreshes the scalp,
removes dust, excess oil and dandruff
and leaves the hair beautifully fluffy,
light and luStrous. To make the sham
