LET'S
Get
Together
Sporting Gossip
and Comment

Despite the fact that Washington
has been a pennant contender il is
reported that the gate receipts have
shown no material advance.
After the disastrous series with
Wilmington Allentown gave up all
hopes of Coughlin's aggregation cap
turing the pennant. The fans feel
confident that the Trentons will finish
the season In second place and are
we'll satisfied with the showing made
by the club.
Outfelder Maisel is the only player
who does not belong TO the Harrisburg
club, being used under an optional
agreement with the Baltimore Inter-
national League club. where he re-
turns at the close of the Tristate sea-
son.
Manager Cockill has received a
fiattering offer from new York State
League club to act as manager next
season, but the Harrisburg owners
are going to make every effort to re-
tain him.
Trenton leads in team hitting, in
long distance hitting, run getting and
will finish no better than third.
Harrisburg is preparing for a post
season series of games with Allen
town for a purse of $500, and It is
likely a series will be arranged with
the winners Of the New York State
League pennant.
Manager Jack Manning attributes
the poor showing of the York this
year TO a series of injuries to players
seven of his best men having been
hurt in accidents.
Heckert says that under no circum-
stances will he be in Trenton next
season.
The Trenton fans are OF the opinion
that the club slumped because the
players we're discouraged over not
getting their money when It was due.
The salary due August 1 has not been
paid yet
Johnson will end the season as the
champion clouter with an average
close TO 400.
John Boyle, third baseman for At
lantic City will be returned to tho
Phillies on Wednesday
Stanley CoveleslSie is also to leave
the boardwalk budsers on that date
He has been sold to Connie Mack for
the white Elephants and has re-
ceived orders to join that team on
Thursday.
It is not likely that Morris Park at
Trenton Will be used after this season
for professional baseball. The field
is unpopular and this fact is the chief
cause Of the drop in local interest.
Some idea of the shortness of the
field can be had when II is stated that
more than sixty home runs have been
made at Morris Park this season.
The appointment OF a receiver for
the Trenton club was averted by Pres.
ident Let's. who paid the claim OF
which the application was based.
Every member of the Allentown
club is the property Of the Allentown
Exhibition Company, and is subject ia
draft. Herbert Kutz. who was last
week released by the Philadelphia
Nationals. was the only player loaned
to COughlin.

AS the Middle West Sees 1t

The following clipped from a St
Louis weekly paper will give our
readers a fair idea of how the Middle
West is regarding the present politi-
cal situation.
UIGH-TONED POLITICS
If it should be the will of the peo-
ME which seems improbable, that the
Republican party relinquish the ma
tional control it has held so long, and
with such fruitful results, the organl-
cation will be in better shape than any
other that ever was retired by pass
ing change of public sentiment. me
party will hand over the reins oil gov
eminent with everything in excellent
business trim and with prosperous
conditions in every part of the coun-
try. Above all, the party has been
true to it's principles and record. IN
the face of an unexpected assault that
attempted to sweep it from the long
established anchorage it has conceded
nothing. nor acted in any way Tor
mere eypediency. 1t rejected the third
term in 1912 as in $780, but with
material difference. The candidate OF
1880 a truly illustrious man, remained
in the party and sopke for the ticket
This year the defeated candidate bolt
ed the party and storms at it with bit
ter abuse.
If the Republican party is unsuc-
cessful in this campaign, and the pres
ident is defeated for a second term,
the protective tariff also will be LAID
aside, temporarily, no doubt, but also
disastrously as past experience has
shown. Protection is vital matter
with the Republican party and will
never be discarded. The party would
rather be defeated along with 1t than
to weaken and hold it to be less than
absolutely right and essential. So with
a third term. Defeat in opposing 1t
is viewed as preferable to success as
its advocates, or rather accomplices.
As for the charge that the party has
lacked progressiveness the history OF
the last fifty years is sufficient an
swer. Subordination to hero worship
has been rejected. The party stands
firmly by it's long-established creed
and neither now, nor ever, has sacri-
feed jot of its selfrespect The
plain logic of the situation is the cleo
ton again of the Republican ticket.
In any case the party is on high
ground and faithful to its mission.

From Hon. John D. Long

THE editor of lions Herald asks
me why vote for William Howard
Taft for President. | propose to
vote for him because he has served
one term in that Office faithfully, hon
estly and well. AS Lincoln, Grant,
Mckinley and Roosevelt had each his
second term, so Taft is entitled to his.
He has earned it, He has been true
to the principles for which he stood
when first elected. He has enforced
the laws. He has been earnest, de
voted, and progressive. Rather than
ask why he should be reelected, il
would be better to ask what reasoi. is
there why he should not be reelected,
and have the same recognition of re-
election which has been given his pre-
decessors. What fault has he com
mitted? Wherein has he been found
wanting? What duty has he left un-
performed? I'm what respect has he
tailed TO rise to the Presidential ideal
of capacity, honesty and fidelity?'
The full statement OF Mr.. Long is
too lengthy to give here but the above
is his opening paragraphs. They are
sufficient. 1t is pretty evident that
Mr. Long prefers to fight with Mr.
Taft in the United States than with
Roosevelt at Armageddon.

mont. which until the last few days
was in the balance.
In the Far West also there has been
a swing toward the President. Lat
est reports give him Utah and Wyom.
ing. The Mormon church has decided
10 support him. This is a big asset
in several mountain states.
But even with hi apparently In
creased strength Mr.. Taft still appears
considerably behind. Governor Will
sons friends say their candidate can
not be defeated The Bull Moose
managers, privately expressing nc
great hope of victory for their candi-
date, say they have already insured
the defeat of the President. In many
parts of the country the third termel
has gained in following.

4. Whether the tribunal provided
for in section Il of chapter 122 of the
Public Laws of 1911 is judicial, or
inquisitorial and political, is not de-
cided. If judicial the justices of the

members of the judicial departments

as provided for the creation OF a

into alleged corrupt practices in cleo

the constitution, and it therefore has

heard the case having declined to al
low exceptions, it is the duty OF the

for, to establish the exceptions, under
the provisions of Revised Statutes,

FORMERSKOWHEGAN
SUPERINTENDENT
Speaks on Educational
Demands
d. II. Perkins, Now Superintendent OF
Schools In Portland, Gives Interest
ing Address In that City

An educational rally was held Fri
day evening at Burnham Gymnasium,
under the charge of the Y. W. c. A.
The principal speaker was Superinten-
dent of Schools Perkins, who gave a
most interesting address on Educa-
tional Demands.
Mr. Perkins briefly outlined the
great number of demands which are
brought before the head of an aduca-
ton system in a large city today.
Continuing, he said in part.
Before the age of great inventions
educational demands were surprising
ly simple The American Indian
taught his son to follow in the steps
of his father-to hunt, and fish, and
to supply the every day needs. In the
tribal days the condition was the
same. Even in the time of our fore
fathers education was only for those
who were destined to enter the pro-
fessions. Harvard College was erect
ed as a school for those who were
studying for the ministry. But today,
in an age of great inventive achieve
ments, the demand is for skilled labor.
1t is an age of specializing, and 1t has
been found necessary to greatly vary
the curriculum.
What are some of the demands
that meet the head of an educational
system? There is a cry for increased
instruction in domestic science. The
high officials in the Grand Army de-
mand instruction in patriotism. Stress
is laid upon a more comprehensive
teaching of elocution. The head OF
the farmers institute requests in
struction in agriculture because it is
the backbone of the wealth of the
State. The business man insists that
more practical courses be introduced.
The classicist cries out that we are
neglecting the teaching Of the class
les. and demands a revival of inter
est in them. The physician is deter
mined upon the establishment OF
system of rigid medical inspection.
There are strong arguments for and
against the teachings of sex hygiene.
There are advocates of school garden
ing; there is movement for scienti-
fc peace instruction.
In an age of varying demands such
as these it is the duty of the school
official to size up the various demands
and settle upon that which seems the
most logical Try as he may, the
system will never be adequate to meet
all the levies which are made upon
its strength. Some of the demands,
however, have been and are being
answered today. The High School has
made a great step forward in the i'll
PRODUCTION of the commercial course.
schools are being establish
ed in the larger cities, and institutions
such as the Y. W c. A are doing
vast deal to awaken educational Inter
ests and to meet practically some OF
the educational demands,

NUMBERING IN SOMER.
SET BEGINS
Some Repairs to be made for Drive.
Something about Lumber Used for
Manufacturing in this County

The numbering operations in the
somerset woods are now we'll under
way There will be some repairing
done between now and cold weather
on the rivers for next years drive.
The dam at Long Pond is being re-
paired by the Moose River Log Driv-
ing Company and one at Dead River
by the Dead River Company. All of
the logs for last seasons cut were
driven this year and all that were left
back the season before. A report
received Tuesday shows that the use
of lumber in this county for manu-
featuring purposes and paper making
is quite extensive. The Hollings-
worth & Whitney company held back
for its use in Madison this year

Mountain; Great Northern Paper Co..
100000 feet and $4,000 cords from

feet stopped at Skowhegan for the
pulp mills; 100000 feet at Fairfield
for Hume & Newhall. The Hollings-
worth & Whitney Company will use
this year at it's mill in WinsoW 81

The portions found unconstitutional

Swing Toward Pres. Taft

The New York Herald says At
the close of the fifth week of the
Herald's nation wide canvass of the
presidential situation Governor Will
son appears to be leading his two
rivals.
President Taft has become notice
ably stronger, Republicans in several
states who had gone over to the Bull
Moose camp having returned to TIE
Taft fold. lust how extensive this
movement is is not indicated TIE
Presidents friends are far more
cheerful than they were a week ago
They say the tide has turned their
wey. They declare the shift back
from the Bull Moose to the President
will easily give Mr.. Taft frs position
in the race before election. They
count OH the support of those Repub-
licans who in many instances had
openly announced that believing the
Presidents election impossible, they
would cast their ballots for Governor
Wilson to insure the defeat OF the Bull
Moose candidate.
One of the interesting features of
the week is the apparent gains made
