IL, even IL in the long run IL involves an
appeal to the courts.
While II has always been contended
here that baseball rules should be SUI
preme. the ThTee-Eye is hardly in posi-
ton to resent court procedure. mas
much as Al Tearney and Dick Kinsella
set the precedent in the Waterloo case.
II Is believed that there would be no
difficulty in getting an injunction to
prevent the ousting of the present
Rock Island team or TO take any step
to declare the Central outside the pale
of organized baseball.
IL must be understood that Rock Is
land has now no local association and
that those who have heretofore been
connected with the local clubs are not
advising a fight, especially in the
courts, but as before stated there have
been a number who have volunteered
to contribute literally to fund to be
used I'm any manner which might b
deemed expedient
The present belligerent attitude on
the part OF baseball patrons in Rock
Island is attributed to no one but
Al Tearney who, as president of the
Three-Eye has never neglected a
it Had il not been for his high hand
ed methods it is improbable that the
berth in the Three-Eye would have
been surrendered. Tearney came to
the Three-Eye without the proper quail
ifications TO fill the Office, he neglected
his duties and tried to salve and bluff
his way through. He has not and new
er really had the best of interests of
the Three-Eye at stake. Rock Island
refused 10 bow TO his will ana incurred
his displeasure and for three or four
years his principal object in remaining
at the head of the league has been. to
keep Rock Island out of 1t and out OF
baseball.
Recognition of such men as Tearney
has been one of the most serious mis-
takes which the real heads of organic
ed baseball have made. 1t has been
such as he who are largely responsible
for the present disrupted state of af-
fairs in the big leagues who have
placed their selfish interests or the de-
sire TO vent their personal spleen
ahead of the game as a sport.
Unless something is done quickly to
insure justice and fair dealing among
the lesser circuits the Federal league
movement is likely to spread to the
minors, and when once the break is
made there is no telling where ii will
stop.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER
CONGRESSMAN from the Fourteenth District.

Cullop on his misfortune in making
prosperity speech on the very day the
biggest mill in his district closed down.
Furthermore, Humphrey said, this was
characteristic of all the democratic
speeches, declaring times to be good.
The democrats, he said, are whistling
to keep up their courage.
1t was exactly the opportunity which
Cullop needed. The house had been
wrangling over the condition of bust
ness for two hours, and Humphreys
remarks had been the most telling
blow delivered from the republican
side. Cullop obtained the floor and
without preliminary comment read the
following telegram signed by men,
Der of the firm of Showers Manufactur-
ing company.
Hon. w. A. Cullop, Washington, d.
C.-Bloomington, Ind, July 2, 1914
Showers factory has enjoyed the most
prosperous year in its 40 years bust
ness. 1t always closes the week OF
July 4 for vacation. 1t will resume
work next Monday with full force OF
1000 men, with orders enough to run
till Christmas. Stone operators forced
to work their men ~ hours a day to
get out orders. Every factory in
Bloomington is running full force and
the Wilson administration is being
commended by all except the republi-
can calamity howlers."
This was a complete and final an
swer. The democrats cheered enthus-
iastically. After Iecturing Humphrey
upon assassinating the business char
acter and standing of firms without
making adequate investigation, Cullop
read a letter from a republican farmer
in his district telling about the high
prices farmers are receiving for their
produce this year.
eff this is the kind of calamity the
democrats furnish, l say continue to
give it to us, keep it up" wrote this
farmer.

the world that it is not able to digest
the abundance of idle matter that is
every day Matched and brought into

forms as their authors be in their

less occupation, this writing of books.

remove the patient to open air or
at least to a room where the air is
cool. Lower the head. Loosen all tight
clothing. Slap the face, hands and
chest with cloth dipped in very cold
water, but do 1t gently. If the person
can swallow. give about half tea

OF ammonia in few spoonfuls of cold
water. Or give some hot bouillon or

to pour anything down the throat, be

BEATING THE BUSHES.

Republican leaders in the Fourteenth
congressional district for several weeks
have presented an unusual spectacle.
They have been beating the bushes,
even resorting TO the press, in an eff
fort TO scare up congressional material.
This is the first time in the memory
Of the present generation that such a
thing has been necessary in any dis
trict of which Rock Island has been
a part
II must be. novel experience for
those old wheel horses. who heretofore
have usually felt called upon to exert
themselves in the direction OF prun-
ing off superfuous congressional tim
Der which insisted upon springing up
at every cross roads. Their danger in
the past has rather lain in the multi
plicity of candidates. With so many
running IL was always possible that
the wrong one, from the standpoint
Of the bosses. might land the plum.
But it's another story this year. Can
didates are strangely coy. II isn't so
much THAI they would feel Inundated
n beaten by the democratic candidate;
for while that is a foregone conclusion,
here would be honor even in defeat.
u lie trouble is that there is danger
that the republican candidate may
come under the wire third. with the
progressive nominee second.
On the other hand, failure TO bring
out a candidate would be equivalent TO
admitting that the party hasn't a
chance and the leaders are not ready
70 do that-not just yet.

The Simple Truth About Lockjaw

Kitasato. a Japanese bacteriologist,
in 1889, proved that tetanus, or lockjaw
as it is commonly known, is caused by
infection with the tetanus bacillus. The
germ gains entrance through wound,
more often a trivial scratch or pune
ture which does not bleed much; in
fact, the wound of entrance is often
so trifiing that the patient pays no at
tention to il, and only careful search
by the doctor discovers IL.
Lockjaw germs are normal inhabi-
tants of the intestinal canal of horses,
COWS, sheep and other herbivorous
animals. Man becomes infected
through wounds made by anything
soiied or contaminated by manure. The
germ lives for long time in garden
earth, in barnyards and about stables,
as well as in the street dust.
Not "Poison" But Germs.
But rusty nails" and dyed stock
ings and verdegris. contrary to the
inevitable reporters version, have
nothing whatever to do with lockjaw
or blood-poisoning. The bacilli may
be present on the brightest newest
nail.
The contraction of the jaw muscles
occurs early in the attack, but is only
a minor feature of the illness. The
first symptoms complained of, as a
rule, is sore throat" or rather a lame
ness or stiffness of the throat muscles
the patient says he has taken cold"
Then an unusual nervous excitement
and restlessness appears. 1t will soon
be found that the stiffness of the
throat muscles interferes with wide
opening of the jaw, Within a few
hours commissions begin.
The acute cases of lockjaw develop
within three or four days following
the reception of the wound OF entrance.
But more commonly a week or longer
interyenes before any symptoms ap-
pear. And the local wound, even II a
bad one, may heal perfectly in spite
OF the fact that it harbors lockjaw
germs.
Cure OF lockjaw is occasionally con-
sumated by modern treatment, but
most cases end fatally in spite of all
we can do. Lockjaw serum in very
large doses has saved some apparent
ly hopeless cases.

Prevention OF lockjaw, on the other
hand. is a very certain measure. Every
