AUGUSTAEVENT

AUGUSTA, GA, June 3O.-The six
tenth and what appears sure to
be the greatest tennis cham
pionship of the South Atlantic States
will be played on the courts of the
Country Club here beginning to-day.
The entry list is the largest and
most select that has ever been known
in the South Atlantic championship.
One hundred and fifty Of the best ten
mis- players in this section have en-
tered and the majority of them are
already here ready for the play.
Mrs. Alexander G. Johnson, of
Asheville, n. c., champion in the la
dies singles of the Carolinas; Nat
Thornton, present Southern and
South Atlantic title holder; James L.
Erwin, Carolina, and intercollegiate
champion of Carolina, are a few of
the stars who are here.
Apparently the tournament ought
to be pie for Nat Thornton. However,
there is no certainty about this, for
Thornton's game is not at its best on
hard clay courts of the sort used here
| in Augusta. In addition the new
Southern champion has been through
| grueling two weeks of tennis and
may not be in top form for the COM
ing event.

FORD-SWEENEY
BATTERY NOW
GOING STRONG
By Percy H. Whiting.
q TLANTA'S most famous batter,

a TLANTA'S most famous battery
n Russ Ford and Ed Sweeney
IS coming to life. It's high
time, of course, and all that. But
then they have-and il was consid-
cradle of a feat with a club as de-
moralized and all but decomposed as
the New York Americans.
Russ Ford unless he manages to
kick off game before this gets into
type. has five straight victories to his
credit. he Won his last victory off the
redoubtabl bic Red Sox.
II = suspected that Frank Chance
is jUSt the kind of a man to get the
mos, out Of Russ Ford. The eX-
CraCktr j. absolutely the best fellow
in the WoIld-but he is not prone to
tear himself to pieces for lot of men
who are laying down. If the club IS
going good, Russ is going good" If
not, not.
Frank Chance expects every man
to do his best. And he would never
forgive one man for not doing. his
best because the other members of the
team were doing their worst.
Chance undoubtedly hurled a fright
into Ford by his threats to clean up
the team. Anyhow, Russ is going AZ
well as he ever did in his life.
IN an interview with Boston scribes
L recently, Chance ascribed much of
the clubs success to the catching of
Edward Sweeney, who, he says, mas
improved 60 per cent"
Frank Farrell, the club owner, who
is staying through the series, added:
Yes, and Chance has made a back
stop out of Sweeney. 1 give him the
credit"
one great trouble with the big fell
ha .
invaria bly, to take aim before cutting
the ball away. Chance got him out OF
this habit, with the result that in
the past week only two bases have
been pilfered on him, and he has cut
down some nine or ten foemen.
THE Cracker team still leads the
L Southern League in hitting, but
Mobile is closing in. Also the Crack
ers have slumped to a point Where
only the Pelicans separate them from
last place.
Mobiles superiority over the South
ern League teams is shown In
multitude of ways.
The Gulls are second in team bat
ting and second in team fielding. They
have reached first on bases on balls
more often than any other team in
the league. They have stolen more
bases. Only one club has struck out
less frequently. No team touches the
GuIls in hits for extra bases.
All in all, it is great team.

THE MEXICAN DILEMMA.

The Mexican situation begins to
reveal such far reaching and diplo-
matically delicate aspects that it will
require a high degree of moral courage
to handle it. With all that has
transpired, so little has become
automatically public with regard to
the new administration foreign
policy that we hardly know whether
anything definite has been agreed
upon except waiting attitude.
President Wilson and The state de-
partment, it has been reported, set
out with a determination not to
recognize any government in Mexico
that was not ratified by a popular
election. That attitude is politically
high minded. The true reality Of the
situation in Mexico itself, however,
makes that attitude somewhat difficult
to maintain.
A really popular election is no
likely possibility in Mexico as that
country s turbulent history has shown !;
any acceptation by our government of
what may be called such would at
best be a recognition of pious fraud.
Right theory AMI reality are in con-
fict there.
Great BIitian is now reported to
have demanded that the Uni ted States
give definite understanding as to
what it proposes to do in Mexico.
Other foreign governments have given
indirect indications of the same at
titude The real forces back of this
position are. of course, the large
foreign financial interests represented
in Mexico These forces are in a
deep sense impeIsonal, as modern
capital dominates those who only ap-
parently control it. The need above
all needs and hence the demand of
these Interests, however, is law and
order, tranquility lin word a calcul-
able future, with gambling un-
certainty reduced to a minimum.
Political theories, political ideals
what do they count and what do they
effect
Is the United States to yield to
these demands Will President Will
son and his state department yet have
to rehabilitate realistic internation-
al politics 1t seems altogether like
ly. Call it dollar diplomacy if
you will; it is only out shirt-sIeeve

name and it happens to be the

BRYAN AND THE cHAUTAUoUA.

The term dollar diplomacy has
been much used in the way of
criticism and derisiou by those OPP
posed to republican national policy in
recent years. to indicate that it was
being SO shaped for the advancement
of American financial interests in
other countries But the real dollar
diplomacy" is that of Secretary of
State Bryan, when he turns over the
duties of his high position to his
anderlings and spends weeks of time
on the lecture platform because he
says his salary Of $1,000 month is
not enough to meet his personal ex-
E2enses and he needs the money he can
earn in the chautauqua circuit.
Nobody has been mere free with
criticism Of alleged extravaganza in
official high life than Mr.. Bryan.
The simple life has been the one
advocated by him. Even in his style
of dress the black SLOUGH hat and the
black alpaca coat have been notable
characteristics. Columns of editorial
thunder in his Commoner were aimed
at republicans who were not observing
his ideas Of simplicity in public life
That was before he BECAME an
office holder Now he finds things
different and the shiny silk hat and
Mr.. Bryan are we'll nigh inseperable.
The office of secretary Of state in the
presidents cabinet is next to the
president in Importance It needs
the constant attention of great man
in the conduct Of its affairs and
esponsibilities and should not be
used for private gain.
Mr.. Bryan has had wonderful op-
portunities for earning money because
of the prominence he has obtained in
three times being the candidate of
the democratic party for president,
His present Office pays him a salary
of $12, 900 a year. Former score
Garies have all had less In the days
of Jefferson the secretay Of state got
So 500 year In Daniel Webster s
time the salary was Sc, OOO James
G. Blaine and other great secretaries
down to the present time got IS. 900.
The salary was raised to $12, 600 dur
dng the Taft administration but Secre-
tary Knox did not get that amount
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-07-23

because it was raised after he took
the Office and the constitution pre-
vented his getting the benefit DUR
ing his term.
MIR Bryan is therefore getting a
bigger salary than any Of his predces-
sors but his style CT living and the
expense of maintaining his positi IN
can not be met with the salary, so
he is now out on the platform at
$3.50 night and upward,
It is possible that the salary is not
sufficient but others have attended to
the duties for less and if it has been
necessary to draw upon their private
resources to keep even, the country has
not bean told of it Mr. Bryan is a
rich man now. He should be game
enough to take what rightly belongs
to the Office and let the lecture bust
ness alone while he accepts pay for
mis- time that now belongs to his
high position.
For not doing so he is being notify
criticized and rightly SO. His
chickens are coming home to roost

The present national administration

Lancaster is the subject of much
complimentary comment and friendly
envy among the other towns of the

enjoying the out door air upon the
green lawn and listening to good
music we'll rendered. The streets
upon these occasions are crowded
with automobiles and carriages loaded
with citizens or our friends from the
country and the children look forward
lUngingly to these pleasant weekly
events. The city contributes a small
sum. $3.50, to the band each year.

twice as much. The band boys
spend a great deal of time that brings
them no financial return and are de-
serving of much praise for the spirit
which prompts them to give so much
entertainment for so small a return.
1t is one of our organizations we are
most proud of.

The Payne A ldrich tariff law under
which the government is at present
collecting its revenues, placed hides
on the free list. The leather trust at
once secured a big field for operations
in South America and effected com.
bination by which they were the only
gamers. The consumer cannot buy
shoes any cheaper now than he could
before the tariff on hides was removed.
There is no reason for believing that
taking the protection away from farm
products will make prices any lower
for the consumer, although the farmer
will get less when he sells them.
