thus appeared to protest against cut

similar duties were given by diner

said he believed was attempting to In
fiuence action i'm favor of the approval
of certain Indian contracts in which
he was interested.
Senators took the stand in rapid sue
cession to tell OF their private business
affairs or of their knowledge of lobbying
activities. Required by the committee to
disclose any personal interests they mighr
have in legislation. the senators told OF
farms. newspapers. sewer pipe factories

they had investments. All those who

a left fielder on some other dia-

But there are kinks and tricks
about that West Side left field which
are peculiar to itself. For one thing,
it is a glaring sun spot, and the ball
frequently gets tangled with Old Sol.
Sun glasses are a necessity to the
fielder. Second, the left-field pavilion
runs out into the field, and it is
extremely difficult to accurately play
hard hits which strike the stand and
earom into the field. The pavilion
also causes a fielder to be a little
scary when chasing a fly close to the
foul line.
: Jim Sheckard could play that field
better than any other man. None of
his successors have succeeded. Mil
Ter fell down and Mitchell is having
trouble. An effort was made a few
seasons ago to make Schultz a left
fielder. Bud could not get away
with it. -.. -,
If Mitchell is to be left in that
position Boss EVers and the. fans
should cease panning him for his
mistakes. Mike is doing better than
any of the others have done. ..s
1t might not be bad plan to shift
Mike to center and let Tom Leach
have crack at the sun field Tommy
is about the surest, fielder on the
Cub list and possibly could handle
the work.
A ball game is a ball game in the

you win it from or who you lose it

could see that he was due for a
hammering. If a good pitcher had
been put in right there the Cubs
might have won. They were then
on even terms with the Dodgers, and
would undoubtedly have played a
faster and hotter brand of ball if
they had not had top-heaVy score
to battle against.
Lefty ratified along through the
seventh, being Jared for seven runs
and IL hits and then Lou Richie did
some of his most comical pitching,

A Comb In the Claw.

Many birds possess a useful comb in
the claw OF the middle toe OF the foot.
This has been noticed In owls, night
Jars, herons. bitterns, cormorants, gan
nets. etc. II has been explained as a
means ef holding the prey securely.
The comb is sometimes replaced by q
curved blade with teeth, which run
along the inner side Of the claw. Such
a blade Is found In razorbills, wild
ducks, gulls, starlings and many other
birds. Where comb is required the
inner edge OF this blade becomes d.
vidod into teeth. Young nlghtjars or
goatsuckers have only the blade. but
old ones have a well developed comb.

MApERo's TRIUMPH"

The nrSp serious attempt W 6A'S
the people OF Mexico an actual Re-
publican form OF government under
constitutional limitations has failed
and Madero, the patriot leader OF the
movement, is dead, martyr to the
cause OF liberty. The old military
despotism will resume its sway in
Mexico II a man can be found strong
enough to hold such a government
together.
Yet the death of Madero is not In
vain. In his brief career he has CIV
en- our southern neighbors some new
ideals and the leaven will work until
finally the Mexican people will insist
on having their say in regard to their
own rule. The failure of Madero
was probably inevitable. He was ON
idealist, but was not strong enousA
to cope with the wealth, aristocracy
and privilege that had been fostered
in Mexico for 400 years.
The people OF the country were too
poor and weak and ignorant to
realize that their hope OF future I'M
provement lay with Madero and that
his death doubtless means that they
will again be ground down into
peonage almost as bad as slavery
under some military despot.
Few Americans realize the condit-
ion in Mexico. Under Diaz for thirty
year the country was safe for visitors
and property rights were seldom In
danger. Exploitation OF resources
by Mexicans and foreigners was well
coined and the wealth and apparent
prosperity of the country Increased
with considerable rapidity. Back OF
II all. however, slavery and peonage
existed and the poorer classes we're
kept ignorant, degraded and helpless.
No man could rise unless born into
the class that ruled or through de-
voted military service to the Diaz
government.
The revolution led by Madero In
the northern provinces was Inspired
largely by Mexicans who had lived
in this country where Madero. him.
self. had been educated. They de-
sired to make Mexico free country
rather than military oligarchy, but
the result shows that they were too
weak. Il may be Mexico has not yet
reached a point where genuine popu-
lar government Is possible. Per-
haps the people are yet too ignorant
and degraded to be trusted to have the
self restraint that alone makes con-
stitutional government possible, but
one cannot help mourning the fate OF
Madero, who, with all his faults, APP
pears to have been sincere and ear
nest in desiring to bring about better
conditions for his countrymen. II
may be that his death may bring to
the Mexican people realization that
will mean a final triumph to his
cause under some future leader.
