Support in Pinches Loses Game for Battery.

III PASO'S MAVERICKS defeated
! Battery c, Sixth field artillery,

| ton park by a score of to 3.
The few fans present witnessed a

Soldiers Scare Locals.
! The soldiers threw quite a scare into
I the Mavericks during the first half OF
| last of the sixth. After that IT was
anybody's game until the last man was
! out in the ninth The soldiers and
Mavericks both got number OF men on
during the remainder of the game, but
the only score that resulted was the
one made by FL Paso in the eighth.
GOwan pitched for the Mavericks,
and demonstrated that he is a pretty
good Outfielder Forester, for the sol
diers, pitched good game, but 1ndlf-
ferent Umpiring on the bases and poor
support at critical stages lost him the
game
Umpire Thompson Removed.
Tommy Thompson essayed the job of
umpiring bases and showed that he is
one of the best plasterers in town. In
the fifth the soldiers pulled the New
York stuff, impeaching him. Then
both teams convened, and acting both
az legislature and supreme court, GUST
ed him from office. EckStOne handled
the job alone during the remainder of
the game and gave satisfaction to both
sides. The play which lost ThOLnp-
son his job was at first Schulz stepped
off the bag before he received the ball
Thompson called the runner out, but
chief umpire Eckstohe reversed his de-
cision- Then came the enforcement of
the recall for Thompson.
Both Higgins and Frame, of the SOL
der team, showed they are real ball
players.
Soldier Fans Josh Barker.
Besides hooting the umpire, the SOL
der fans spent a good deal of time
JOshing Barker They told him that he
had better get more than two hits, lest
he disappOint the fans, and that if he
did not show up better he would be re-
tired; IN which case ne would have to
leave home and go to the Texas league.
Ihey failed to worry Harry.
Battery Gets First Score
The battery drew first blood. Hig-
gins, trst man up, singled over sec

an 1nfield hit and Dyer duplicated, fill

his own game right there He hit q

SENATORIAL POSSIBILITIES.

Even this early in the game Demo-
Gratis In some sections Of the state are
talking about the senatorial election in
1914. Interest in the oncoming fight
has been stimulated recently by the
knowledge that the successful candi-
date will be chosen by direct vote of
the people, without regard to the po-
litical complexion Of the legislature.
The Democratic party of the state
IL bending every effort to capture this
plum as well as favorable legisla-
ture. The talk of candidates is al.
ready well under way, as is seen by
the following comment in the Progress
sive Democrat of Tacoma:
Democracy has pile of good men
that would make able United States
senators and there is no need for the
Republicans to bother about who we
may select. Here is list of good men
that would be a credit to Washington's
Democracy and they, all of them,
would I'LL Wesley L. Jones shoes so
well that the people would forget that
he ever existed: James H. Dege, A. r.
Titlow, Tacoma; Mayor George G. Cot

Black. Everett; Judge Edward E. Har-
den, Bellingham; Henry J. Snively,

liam H. Dunphy, Walla Walla; L. F.
Chester, Spokane; Arthur Gum, We

yer; David s. Troy, Port Townsend.
There are others equally as capable
and equally as formidable. The prob
abilities are that there will be a big
field of candidates-what the Demo.
cratic party must watch out for is to
see that its strongest aspirant is not
outstripped by some less capable one
The lesson of the last gubernatorial
race should not be forgotten.

il ST THINK 4 MOMENT.

The editor of the Warden Herald
calls attention to one thing most ev-
erybody overlooks when he says:
The newspaper business is the only
business in this country that has not
nearly doubled its prices in the past
ten years. The editor pays double the
price for all material used in the office
that he did ten years ago; he pays
double the wages for help and double
the price for everything he puts on his
table or on his back. Is it any wonder
that we find editors working more
hours than any other business men and
having the most severe struggle to
keep the wolf from the door?
When business men in other lines
doubled their prices the editors, who
ordinarily are as sensible as average
citizens, kept perfectly mum and turn
ed their faces toward the county farm
without even an effort to get fair
compensation for their labors. The
dawn of the twentieth century caught
all men prosperous but the printer,
for the reason that all other men kept
mp with the times and advanced prices
~ the advance was demanded.
Just think a moment and you will
realize that what he says is exactly
true, so true, in fact, that no one ex.
poets newspaper man to have any
money. Ordinarily those expectations
are fulfilled but new day is dawn.
ing, for the printer is coming to apply
to his own business the same princi
ID operated-he is finding out, slowly
to be sure, but still finding out what
It is costing him to run his business
He is becoming a wiser man and the
more he studies his business the wiser
he will become.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER.

Without railroad a city or a coun-
try of these modern days might just as
well cease existing. No other single
factor is so great in the development
of section or state than railroad
the means through which those who
till the soil or manufacture the prod
ucts of the section distribute their
wares
So it is well to remember in these
days of hotbed agitation against cor.
