Des Moines Tribune: A contributor
10 an eastern paper complains that
Women's morals are deteriorating. He
quotes the fact that women are willing
10 attend indecent plays, that they
are given to admiring fast men and
that they are morbidly interested in
some OF the ugly and unwholesome
facts of the world.
But 1t is probably true that good

A LETTER HOME.

Like to come and see you, daddy, and
perhaps will some day.
Like to come back east to visit, but
wouldn't care to stay.
Glad you'.. doing well and happy.
glad you like your country best
But for me always hunger for the
freedom of the west
There's a wholesomeness about 1t that
never could explain,
Once you breathe this air you love 1t
and you long for 1t again;
It's just home to you forever and
can't tell you just why.
It's so big and broad and boundless
and its heaven is SO blue,
And the metal of its people always
rings SO clear and true;
And its beloved acres CULVER like the
shudder of the sea,
And its waves roll rich and golden in
upon the shore to me.
Why, your farm and all the others that
we used to think SO fine,
Wouldn't lump EN- all together, make
corner lot in mine.
And the old red clover pasture, with
it's gate and fence rail barred.
Why it wouldn't make grass plot In
our distant school house yard.
Not foot has touched its prairies but
is longing to return;
Not an eye hath seen it's sunset on its
western heavens burn
But looks back with hungry yearning.
with the memory grown dim,
And the zephyr of its prairies breathe
the cadence of hymn
That is sweet and full of promise as
the "Beulah Land, we knew
When we used to sit together in the
queer old-fashioned pew
And at eventide the glory of the sun
and sky and sod,
Bids me bow my head in homage and
in gratitude to God.
Yes, love you, daddy, love you with
a heart that's true as steel
But there's something in Dakota
makes you live and breathe and
feel;
aehes you hinsly as man ls, MAKES
you know the worth of toll,
Makes you free as are her prairies,
and as noble as her soil;
Makes you kingly as a man is, makes
you manly as a king,
There's something in the grandeur OF
the seasons sweep and swing
That cast off the fretting letters OF
your east and marks you blest,
With the vigor of the prairies. with
the freedom of the west.

OLD TRADITION MAY HELP.
Cleveland Expects New Manager and First Baseman Will Improve Mat ters-

Three times has the combination of a change in management with 8 new first sacker brought successful results in the American league. Cleveland fans trust that what has worked to the advantage of Detroit, Boston and Washington will go through similarly in the sixth city where the stage has the same setting. Detroit finished fifth in 1908. With practically the same team it won the pennant in 1907. The new material consisted of Jennings as manager and Claude Ross man as the guardian of the first sta< tion.
 The combination did not appear again until last year. Then Jake Stah1 assumed the management of the Red Sox and also resumed his old station on first. Boston was lifted from fifth to first place. Washington started the same campaign with Clarke Griffith succeeding James Mo Aleer als manager. No great improve ment was noticed in the Nationals un- til Memorial day. when Gandil was placed on first. Then Washington be- gan to climb. From sixth place it nOsed it's way into first, finally finish ing second.

TAFTvILLE DEFEATS BAL TIC lO-4
Home Team Comes Back in Second Half-Murphy and Mel Tor Lead in Scorng-Visitors Secure But One Point Closing PeriodLSeries Now Tied.

Taftville came back strong against the Baltic workingmen's basketball team in Parish hall Tuesday evening winning by the score of 10 to 4. Bal tic was the winner in the previous meeting of the two teams and started off in the lead last night, but Taft vtlle's great squirt during the second half soon put the visitors out of the running. The game was fast and eX- citing from start to finish and the players were cheered by a crowd or several hundred enthusiasts. The Bal tic contingent of rooterS numbered well over 100 and came armed with horns, cowbells and other instruments of tor ture to the ear.
 Baltic led off and scored points during the first half, while TaftT1IIe acquired but 1-2. In the second half the game soon took on an entire ly different aspect and Baltic was able to score but one point. The Taftville boys began to get their eyes on the basket and scored seven field goals and one goal on a foul Murphy and MelIor did the greater part of the scoring. The game was somewhat rough in spots, eight fouls being called on Baltic and five on Taftville.
 Each team has now won one victory and it is planned to play off the tie on some neutral floor and this third contest should prove a corker.
 The Eneups and summary:
