THE LAST OF BIC TIM"

No matter how much better and cleaner politics
may get, men like Big Tim" Sullivan will always
WELD real power because their appeal is to the most
human of all qualities. Big Tim" was first of all
friend; because he had the instinct for being geru-
inely and sincerely the friend he able incident
ally to be the boss.
1t is useless to phosophize about Big Tim and
what he represented He did represent; he stood for
his people and his section. The cohorts Of Sullivan
were lot more interested in job than in political
righteousness Their concern about the police was
not much that the police should be square, as that
the police should let them alone. They thought OF
the law distant vague affair liable to make itself
disagreeabe to them. Big Tim" knew how to put
the mufffer on it when needed. He was good and
useful friend. He could handle his people because
they could handle him, and they knew it.
good many gentlemen who regard big Tim" as
z phenomenon, to be analyzed, classified and re-
gretted, would learn much from proper study of
just how and to what extent the head of the clan of
Sullivan really represented his people.

and intimates can attest that in his fight against Tam
many he smothered all his personal hurts and wrongs,
banished from his plans all individual feelings and
considerations to protect from Tammany the Offices
which it would seize only to the shame and injury of
the city. He ready and eager to help elect men
who were not agreeable to him personally.
Gaynor was offended by spectacular officials, but
he hated crooked officials. Gaynor disliked frothy
politics. but he loathed corrupt politics. Gaynor held
cant in contempt but he held evil in abomination.
Gaynor gave words of soft rebuke to shallow public
service, but he bore fire and sword against the de-
bauchery of public service by criminal rings.
And so it is for his followers to keep the Gaynor
faith fighting to whip Tampany in the only pure way
that Tammany can be whipped with all men who are
against the Tammany ticket united for the Fusion
ticket.

early and unexpected caller this
morning when Game Warden Bailey
put in an appearance, catching sew

These same workmen have been

Bailey placed Tony Anderw and
John Polus under arrest and brought
them to Bemidji where they were ar
ranged before Judge Orwell in muni-
cipal court this morning. Both plead
guilty but the Judge after listening to
the. story of Polus allowed him to
return home with only promise to
behave in the future.

Bemidji eball Notes,

Roscoe Smiley stated to a Pioneer
reporter yesterday that he had sew
eral all connections with the "Big
Bemidg" base ball team and had be-
come a member Of the Crookston
Lumber company team. Smiley is a
pitcher of no little ability and was
the hero Of last Sundays game. With
three men on bases in the latter part
of he game and the score to. 2 in
Akeley's favor he entered the game
and did not allow man to make a
score the rest of the game.
The lumbermen are working for
the city championship and have de-
feated every team in the city with the
exception of sBig and Little Bemidg''.
These teams will be challenged in
the near future and it is probable
that local fans will be treated in the
fast gaze as the fastest players in the
city are members Of these teams
