with his surroundings he would be
as valuable as any third baseman in
the league. Zim is not being criti-.
cized as a player, neither is ne being
severely condemned for his insubOr-
dination, but any one will admit that
conditions must be changed if the
Cubs are to figure in next years pen
nant race. We stand by the assertion
that unless Zim and EverS get to-
gether one of them will have to go.
President Murphy owns the team,
and it is up to him to decide which
man is the more valuable if they re-
main split. This column is not trying
to run his ball team.
Cub players believe that Cleveland
has picked up toppy young pitcher
in Abe Bowman, who twirled against,
the West Siders in an exhibition
game at Grand Rapids yesterday.
Eight of the Trojans went down on
strikes, Zim tang the count three
times and Evers twice. Zim later
busted a hit that helped win the
game.
Seventeen straight games will be
played on the West Side lot, begin
ming with this afternoon. Two con-
tests are scheduled with the Reds,
three with St. Louis and three with
each of the Eastern teams.
Talk about ingratitude. The Red
SoX suits were lost and the Mackmen
loaned their travelling uniforms. Then
Boston trimmed the Athletics twice.
Spectators became peeved at the dila-
tory tactics of Pitchers Moseley and
Houck in the. second game, and
petition was sent to Ban Johnson,
asking him to take steps to prevent
repetition of the farce. The Mack
ted hard in both games. The Mack
men got but two hits in the second.

ers mauled by the Red Sox, and Con-
ME Mack is figuring on giving his
veteran southpaw long rest in prep

ing the Giants will be almost hope
less. Plank has been getting his
bumps with great regularity lately.
He lasted three innings before the
Red Sox, four runs counting.
Vean Gregg and Ty Cobb fought
a hot duel in the Tiger-Nap 12-inning
combat, the Peach drawing final
blood. The first three times up Gregg
famed him. Then Cobb scored
Crawford with the winning run on a
single. Gregg famed nine Tigers;
but allowed more hits and walks than
Dubuc.
Rollie Zeider's bunions are all
right He stole home with the run;
that beat Washington. Gallia gave
the Yanks only five hits, but three
were punched in the seventh inning.
Moeller of Washington got triple
and two singles off Fisher.
The BrookIyn-Giant game resem-.
bled town contest between married
and single men. RUDE Marquard, a.
new papa, exploded in the first game,
and Larry Doyle, married two days,
ago, got only one hit in each battle.
McGraw was dissatisfied with the
weak batting of his team and shifted
the lineup. Snodgrass was hoisted
to the lead-off position, Burns was
put in the cleanup spot, and Merkle
was dropped to eighth place. Tesreau
outpitched Yingling in the second af-
fair. Smith of Brooklyn got homer,
double and two singles in the two
games. .,st
Miller Higgins finally managed to

Representative Akin of New York, hav-

the House Saturday. The resolution
reads:
That the Secretary of Agriculture be.

expend not exceeding $1,000, in the
purchase of six high grade, thoroughbred
male turkey buzZards and ninety-nine
thoroughbred hummng birds. each to be

the bureau of animal industry, as to
soundness of limb and heart strength.
in order that a test may be made to
the value OF the offspring. be they gnats

report to the Congress whether the eN-
pertinent is more valuable to the Amer
can farmer than the one now going on in
this bureau, where thousands of dollar ;
have been expended in buying Zebras in
Africa and transporting the same to the
District of Columbia. where they are
offspring of which seems to be a cross
between a North Dako jackrabbit and
an Australian kangaroo: and the sum Of
81 900 or as much thereof as may be nee

The Art Of Government.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The art of arts is the art of govern
ment.' runs an old saying.
For several thousand years this art has
been followed. Progress in it ha~ been
small
The King of England knows not much
more about it than the kings of Nineveh
knew
Tire superiority of the King of England
consists. not in his better knowledge of
governing. but in the fact that he does
not govern the people at all, but lets
them govern themselves.
The truth that is emerging after CEN
turtles of experiment, Is that there Is no
such thing as 1.-The art of governing
Not the wisest man in the world, not
the best. strongest and noblest man, is
competent to govern the PEOPLE. The re-
sponsibility of rule can justly rest only
upon the shoulders OF the people them
selves. No man was ever created who
is fit to be trusted with that burden
The governing class idea is also fiction
Thinkers of yesterday We're fond OF say
ing that the best element ought TO govern
the populace. Thinkers of today have
discovered that this will not work. Nc
class jGst as no individual, is worthy Il
be intruSted with rule.
There is only one body qualified t.
rule, and that is the entire body polite.
To be sure. every quack and pettifog-
ger prates of his love for the peepul.
Every criminal trust and every yenal poll
tician boasts of its subserviency to the
dear people. But don't let that deceive
you. They wouldn't all lay claim to d
thing that IS not good in itself.
The fact is that the people, the whole
people, are wiser than any one man OIL
class, have more prudence and better
morals.
We are learning that great men" are
not the roots of popular progress, bu
the flower. Shakespeare was the crcS
of the wave. Luther was one who WoulC
have been unknown without the many
inspired by the same ideas.
No single man. is the much quoted
saying of Schiller, "can vie with the in
diVidual Athenian for the prize of man
hood TO be sure; yet though we pro
duce no finer individuals, We have a bet
1stence does not depend upon the EN-
ployment Of slaves. upon eunuchs ant
the seclusion of women"
| The world" said Dr. Martin Luther
is ruled by God through few heroe
ana pre-eminent PERSONS Which is
clear statement of what is not true.
For the world IS ruled by itself. TIL.
progress of government is toward elm
mating the leader. toward emphasizin.
! the masses.

we naturally persOnify forces, in Orde
