taxes. He recognized, he said, the
incalculable good and the advantages
brought to the state by its railroads.
ITO take them away would be to
throttle progress; but, to take away
from the railroads the farmer, how
much greater the calamity" Justice
and fair play to the farmer as well as
to the railroad was the keynote of
this portion of Mr.. Spencer's speech.
Mr.. Light was the last speaker of
the evening. He first stated that w.
j. Crosby, one of the aspirants for
legislative honors, was unable to be
present, and expressed his regret that
such was the case. Mr.. Light spoke
of his untiring efforts in the interests
of his constituency at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, and told how
by most diligent research work he
had succeeded in accommodating an in
valuable fund of data and infOrma-
ton that he might the better serve
the people who reposed confidence in
him by their votes. He stated that
very prominent man in the state had
written to him telling him that he
was "too radical The allegation
was ably refuted He spoke of his
campaign promises, and of his neces-
sary determination to redeem them.
His words were these: what Light
says he will do, that he will accom-
plish; what Light says he will try to
do, that will he exert every effort to
bring about, and what Light says he
will not do, there is not man in Ken
drick, or elsewhere, who can swerve
him one inch from that purpose"

By Billy Evans.
Peppery ball players like
Jimmy Austin of the Browns, are
few and far between. No matter
how badly things are breaking,
Austin never loses his ginger. He
keeps up a continual chatter at
third. 1t is hard to estimate the
value of players like him.
Like all good players, Jimmy is
aggressive, but manages to keep
out of trouble as Il rule. Last
year Austin found it hard to
agree with umpire Mullen. Null
len was making his debut as a ma
Jor league umpire. On the hrSt
visit to St. Louis, Mullen found
occasion to- send Jimmy to the
shower baths. On the second
trip Jimmy received similar
ticket of leave.
The following day the Browns
were making the Athletics step
all the way. No player was work
ing harder than Austin. Several
times he wanted to dispute Null
len, but feared the result. Earl
Hamilton, the Browns promising
youngster, was pitching, and
Jimmy was lending all sorts of
encouragement, by making some
remark about every delivery.

check such an impression at once.
"You play third base properly
and you will have plenty to do
without umpiring," he fired at
Jimmy.

right, replied Jimmy, ''but from
the trouble you're having I
thought you needed a little assist

but Jimmy merely chuckled, as he
realized he had finally won an ar
gunent from an umpire, without
having the finger pointed at him.
Mullen had his inning few
days later. Ed Walsh was pitch
ing for Chicago, and Jimmy could
do nothing with his splitter. He
famed the first three times Up.
