Remember those by grief oppressed.
Thanksgiving Day.
FORGET no human heart distressed,
No brow on which the thorn has pressed
While on hfe's way.
Remember those who are in need.
Thanksgiving Day,
Theirs u i sorry lot, indeed!
Recall their woes. and with all speed
Drive want away,
Remember those who knew no friend,
Whose loved ones stray;
Give foodl Give raimentl Go and spend
One cheering hour. 50 they may end.
With thanks, their day.

Dave L. Fultz,
President Baseball Players Fra
ternity.
"The big idea back of the Base
ball Players Fraternity" said
President Dave L. Fultz, is to
secure justice for players and
eliminate the high-handed meth
DDS of the club. owners.
When player signs a con
tract he becomes the sole prop
erty of the club. He can be sold,
traded or released at the owners
will. The owner is bound to moth
ing-the player is tied, hand and
foot. !
"The fraternity will institute
civil suits to compel'magnates to
live up to the contracts they have
broken.
'The case of John w. Knight
is an example. Knight in 1911
signed three-year contract with
the New York americans for
$4,000 a year. The contract, like
every other one, contained
clause stating that the club could,
upon ten days notice, terminate
its agreement.
I'm 1911, the first year of the
contract, Knight was sold to
Washington, which, in turn, sold
him to Jersey City, a minor
league club, where his salary was
cut to $1,000.
ANDY Coakley, a pitcher for
the Chicago Nationals, was sold
to Louisville. His salary was cut

Kurt w. Hagerman signed a
Boston American contract for
s., 400 a year for 1912. Early this
season he was sent to Jersey City
under an optional agreement. On
June q Jersey City turned him

"Other clubs offered Hager-

him $2,400, but President Nc
Aleer of Boston would not con-
sent. Hagerman offered to buy
his release and McAleer said:
You'll play ball with Denver
or you will quit baseball"
About this time a major
league club offered to assume
Hagertnan's $2,4O0 contract, Of
fering more moneyfor the pitch
er's release than Denver, but Nc
Aleer refused. Hagerman was
Boston's property, he must obey

Roosevelt and Confidence

Governor Aldrich OF Nebraska, after
paying a high tribute TO Col Roose
velt said:
Another matter OF Importance in
considering the availability of Col
Roosevelt is this-that with his nomi-
nation there would not be associated
the unrest, the uncertainty and the
distracting effect on business that
hovers over a presidential cam paign.
1t would be known in the start what
his attitude towards business would
be, what his attitude in all the great
essential requisites in conducting the
affairs of prosperous people would
be, for he has been tried out Ia the
hery furance Of experience and not
found wanting
In my humble Judgment, all things
taken into consideration and weighed
from every view point 1t would seem
that at the present time the repub-
iicans OF this country ought to unite
In the nomination OF Col Roosevelt

Dick Richards In Canton.

Dick Richards, while in Canton last
week, talked like man that had lost
confidence in everybody but himself.
He abused Senator Crawford, Gov.
Nessey and every progressive who had
refused to regard him seriously. He
denounced Col. Roosevelt, senator
CumminS, and James r. Garfield as
unreliables and not progessi yes, and
intimated that some OF the old Kit
tredge Stalwarts are supporting him
in order to beat Gamble, while he ad-
mitted to one party that if he can't
have his way in the La Toilette mat
ter he would prefer Taft delegation
to one for Roosevelt or Cummins, and
that's the kind of hairpin Dick is.
! Dick Richards is a peculiar com bina-
tion. In politics he is an absolute
boss, denying any man the right 10
divide responsibility with him in a
political campaign. II refused COM
| mand he would sink the ship rather
than see any other man in command.
This intense egotism is responsible
| for his present position as party
| wrecker He assured the writer that
John Longstaf and Tom Roberts
would support him for the senate. OF
course these astute trimmers mean
nothing of the kind. They are play
ing Dick for sucker and are going to
| win.
Ii Dick Richards has an honest
true friend in Huron, he ought to try

Roosevelt will Serve.

No man in the history of the Re-
public has ever had to face such d
political combination OF circumstances
as that now confronting Col. Roose=
velt, who was not 4 candidate for the
presidency, yet majority of the
American people are demanding that
he become candidate. No man,
honored as he has been honored, has a
right to refuse to serve his country if
the people demand his services.
The Editor of the LEADER knows,
from a private letter received from
the Colonel last week, that he is fac
ing the most important and trying
position that any American was ever
called upon to face. The democrats
are throwing third term bricks at
him, the allied power of monopoly is
opposed to him, The Taft cOmb bina.
tion plead and beg and threaten him,
but more powerful than all these
comes the voice of the people demand
ing his leadership, and the voice OF
the people is the law of the nation.
None but sturdy, plain, brave
brainy patriot could face this tremen
dous pressure without stumbling. Sc
far he has stood an unheard of pres
sure, and SO far he has refused to be
driven one inch from his rights as al
| American citizen, but we believe the
limit of human resistance is nigh ex
hausted and he will speak soon, and
! the LEADER believes he will recog

and save Dick from himself. 1t is
not so much the bleeding by politi-
clans who baSk In his smile and shout
approval to his most visionary schem.
eS, that threatens most seriously this
cratic person, but it is his mentality
that should be safe guarded. Dicks
ambition to rule or ruin comes from
peculiar condition of mind. We do
not believe he would demand TO be
an absolute dictator we're he not a
little off, and its very unfortunate, as
Dick, out Of politics, is a very genial
gentleman
Dicks primary law, OF adopted, will
require an expert lawyer In each
county to run this new political crea-
tion. We told him there was too
much machinery in the law to make
it useful or Of practical benefit, but
he began with the "banks Of mighty
river between which this primary
law would run in harmony with hon.
est politics. we shuddered and said
no more. He was very bitter against
Col. Roosevelt and Mr. Garfield and
denounced them as enemies of the
people, and in fact had not good
word for any progressive. He is bound
to rule or ruin and he might just as
well take all The rope he needs In this
campaign because it will be his last.
