By O. B. Keller.

TIME report comes from the head
quarters of the Winter League
in New York that Merkle and
Snodgrass are in Dutch. The report
goes on to say that unless McGraw
ties the can to these two members
of the Ivory Squad" McGraw will
be in Dutch, too.
While the redoubtable Muggsy is
touring around the world trying to
beat the White Sox before neutral
crowds of foreigners, the Little Ma
poleon' probably will be doing a lot
of thinking. He knows pretty well
which way the wind blows, and is no
fool when it comes to hunting cover.
NOW, the facts of the matter as
decided by the Winter League,
appear this way.
In 1908 Merkle failed to touch sec
ond base, and the Giants lost the
pennant by that omission In 1912
Merkle let a foul fly drop safely, fif-
teen feet from first base and the
Giants dropped the Worlds Series
along with it, Snodgrass, too, has
been a prime hard luck factor in
costing the Giants Worlds Series,
and his muff of an easy fly in the
1912 scrap was merely an incident
of his luck.
NOV, there are two kinds of ball
~ players that have no business
on championship teams-the slow
thinker and the unlucky ball player

fact remains that Bender PLAYED

big attraction. and the public that

The commission takes the
stand that when a Worlds Series
star plays with a makeshift team

only 10 or 25 cents is charged he

THE EXHAUSTION PROCESS.

Ii is announced that the senate
democrats are about to Exhaust the
senate" and thereby force a vote on
the pending currency bill late III the
month. Several of the republicans
are wroth. and are accusing the dem
ocrats Of bullying tactics. Every lit
tie while this accusation is made by
the minority party against the party
in power. We all remember what
denunciations were hurled against
Speaker Reed for the methods Used
by him to expedite business in the
house. The democrats then were sure
that the liberties Of the country were
seriously endangered by Reed, and yet
Reeds democratic successor adopted
most of the Reed practices. and inn
proved on some of them a little. and
then the republicans were aggrieved.
Cannon was likewise denounced for
welding the %bludgeon. and now. while
some of h authority which was for
merly vested i'll the speaker has been
transferred to a committee. the au-
thorfty is nevertheless somewhere. and
1t is used whenever necessary. and as
far is necessary to carry out the will
of the majority.
In the senate the practice has been
somewhat different. as debate there is
unlimited. but there have been times
when extraordinary e were nee
essary TO get a bill passed. and always,
If there was strength enough behind
the bill. the necessary force has been
used. Just now it happens to be q
currency bill that is pending. and the
democrats who r in control Of the
organization. They a force action.
and the indications are that they will
do 50. In doing this they will be rum
ming counter to the position which
they have taken when in the minority,
and in opposing reasonable expedition,
by force, IL necessary. those of the OPP
position who object will be running
counter to their position when in the
majority.
II 4 minority can delay action in
definitely, then the affairs Of govern
ment are in a bad way. There must
be action, and tho action must, when
necessary. be forced by the majority,
regardless Of its political complexion.
One thing that is needed in the senate,
and needed badly, Is a set Of common
ems rules which will provide for the
limitation Of debate and the fixing Of
a time for 4 vote.

The policy of the American gov
ernment has been 10 wait as patiently
as possible until the decent, orderly
people of Mexico were themselves
ready to take up the work of organiz-
ing a real governments. That policy
has heen pursued steadfastly. There
has always been the possibility that
some peculiarly a%trocious act on the
part of the usurper would precipitate
armed intervention by this country,
and, beginning with the movement Of
troops to the Mexican border. and
continuing under the present admins
istration. efforts have been made to
prepare an dremain prepared for such
possible emergency, but to do nothing
TO create 1t.
That policy is not a republican nor
a democratic policy. IL is a policy
which reflects the serions thought and
sober patriotism of the nation. II ia
national rather than partisan, and it
is gratifying to see statesmen of all
parties uniting in its support.

was very tired of the click when she

that Genevieve did not complain, and

pressed m a hard against her pill

Coming home n night she met on

rooster. She knew him by the light

Genevieve stared. She didn't un-
derstand what he meant. She merely
had intended him to understand that
her evenings were not for him. But
1t didn't make any difference what he
thought. She sat silent and allowed
Miss Randy to DO the talking. And
she wondered curiously why 80 nice a
looking chap would annoy people
with a rooster. "And I'll tell Miss
Randy to tell him what happens to

I do. And she will, too"

Genevieve was much annoyed one
evening when h and Miss Randy
were drumming at a duet on the tinny
old piano in the parlor to look around
and find that Mr.. Belling was here.
And b could not plead that she was
busy. Miss Randy found a fourth, a
tired stenographer who was glad of
the diversion, and they played rum"
BY the enc Of the evening Genevieve
forgot that she disliked Belling, and
h readily agreed to repeat the game
the next evening. Elene was sleepliy

before she got to sleep.
She didn't see Belling for two
weeks. Miss Randy reported that he
must have left town. And evidently
he had taken the rooster along. And
then one night, just as every one was
OF the fowl came again. "He's back!"
said Genevieve. ooh, why can't that
thing die 2"
And at S:15 that night he strollei

difficulties concerned her alone. She
has been in the European current but
not of it. She has consistently placed
bureaucratic and dynastic interests
above the interests of hcr people-a
thing no longer possible for any great
civilized power. She has set herself to
turn back that great democratic wavc

The protest of a few men Of letters,

THE PRESIDENT ON MEXICO.

In his brief annual message, or ad-
ress. the president deals very frankly
18th the Mexican situation. There
no beating around the bush in
hat he says. and when he discusses
!uerta and his position no one can
Jake any mistake as TO just what he
leans.
There have been differences Of
pinion rs to the wisdom OF the
purse of the administration with ref
rencs to the Mexican complication.
few people have insisted that it was
he duty Of this country to intervene
l the affairs Of Mexico. send an arm
4 force there. and compel a settle
rent on our own terms. That may he
lsmissed as being urged chiefly by a
~ people who have financial inter-
yts in Mexico and are more interest
] in the protection Of their conces-
ons than they arc in the preservation
the nation from the horrors Of war.
he others who have urged this
purse are few in number, and for the
,tost part r the irresponsible jon
oes who shout war with every other
reath. and who are seldom found
nSwhere that war is goiAg m.
About the only other course, aside
ON that followed by the administra-
on. has been the recognition of HUI
TIA. At the outset a good many peo-
lie thought that this would be the
roper course holding that it was not
ur affair how a nan anne into power.
ut that the easiest way would be to
sept Huerta as the head Of the only
listing government, and let it go at
lat. That opinion is still entertain
! by some. 1t is a fact. however,
iat as time has passed, and we have
ecome better informed Is to condi-
ons in Mexico, there has been a
aange in this settlement. and many
y those who formerly advocated the
scognition Of Huerta are now Of the
pinion that this cours would have
Zen a mistake. This change Of opin-
n has been shown in a marked man.
er in many of the influential papers.
One thing pointed out by the presi-
ent now appears very clear. namely,
lat even had Huerta been recognized,
he situation in Mexico would not
been improved in the least. f7u-
ia came into power as an i%rresponsi-
dictator under any circumstances,
ad, while his acceptance by this gov
nment would have increased his
mporary prestige, it would not have
tered in the least the dissatisfaction
18th which his regime is regarded by
,ry many Of the Mexicans, and re-
,t after revolt would have marked
,e history of the country, ending,
.,ubtless in the overthrow Of Huerta
- come other ambitious man able
collect a following n seize the
fees and the national funds . So it
eould have gone on indefinitely, and,
we were to follow the precedent
hich we would have established, it
ould have been necessary for us to
cognize as the head Of the Mexican
pvernment a whole list of petty pre-
gnders who would have come along
rapid succession.
