Idle Chatter

Poor Old Matty! Knocked out of
the box again and relieved by OToole.
About the end of the week, he'll
come back and make another strugg-
ling team suffer for yesterdays mis-
hap.
There be some who say the Braves
cannot be beaten until they meet the
Athletics in the worlds series.
And there be others who say the
Athletics will scurry for when
gang.
AS for US, an ~impecunious scribe,
We'll be mum on that subject, for fear
some knowing individual with great
wads of filthy will force us to back
up u assertions.
With the grocer, the butcher, the
goldman and a dozen other providers
Of the necessities of life declaring
that they'll not be put off much long
er, it behooves US to horde the spare
penny forninst the day self-made
moratorium expires.
And so we announce, with malice
aforethough, that we'll not be respon-
slble for any bets incurred by Side
Kicker Merry Mood.
A lot Of fellows matriculated yester-
day. But that isn't anything like
what they'll do along about the end
Of the first semester.
Cleveland used three recruit pitch

nineteen safe ones, seventeen Of
which were punched in three innings.
Carter started the game for Cleveland
and got along we'll until his support
Went to pieces.
After the first inning, Pittsburg was
unable to do very much with Tyler,
the rack Boston finger. A base on
balls, a double, a wild throw by Smith
and konetchy's single gave Pittsburg
their only two runs.
Muggsy McGraw probably thinks
differently about that Chicago team.
Recently, he said they would meet
with disaster on the eastern junket.
They spelled disaster for the Giants,
however, taking two out Of three.

The Cubs hammered Matty unmer-
cifully In the first inning yesterday,
and scored five runs on three singles,
a double, a triple. a wild pitch and a
wild throw by Meyers. After that,
they were unable to score.
st. Louis and Philadelphia played a
weird game yesterday. nearly all the
runs of both teams being due to field
Ing and battery errors. Higgins and
Magee each went to bat four times
and scored two runs, and yet neither
was charged with a time at bat. Hug
gins drew three bases on balls and
was hit by the pitcher, while Magee
was walked four times.
In the same game, Doom and a
rooter came nearly clashing. Doom
threw wild to first base and a specta-
tor in the stand shouted a remark
which caused Doom to order the root
er removed. A policeman escorted
the fan from the grounds after the
umpire got between Doom and the
spectator. preventing blows being
struck.

"BUY A COLUMN"

There is something more than q
joke in these lines In F. F. AS
Coming Tower" in the New York
Tribune:
"'Don't be a piker. Buy bale
of radium and help Colorado. Or,
buy a bale of advertising space and
help the newspapers
at is no secret that business de-
preston has hit most Of the news
papers hard. And the blow has come
Just at the time when the newspa-
pers have been put to enormous ex-
ira expense because of their efforts
to give readers the news concerning
the war. Cable bills also cost fabu-
lous sums and as a business propo-
sition just now even the most pros
porous papers are doing little more
than to hold their own. Yet the pub
fishers are not sitting like beggers,
hat in hand.
"They continue to give to the pub
lie daily for a cent or two the story
of the greatest war in the worlds
history. A generous support of their
advertising columns should be their
reward. And it is my humble opin-
ion that business will not be better
until advertising has been largely
increased. Especially is this the
psychological time for retail mer-
chants to use newspapers to let con-
sumers know of bargains because
of a desire to move stocks. Quicker
than any other agency will wide
spread advertising bring about the
retail trade boom now so sorely
needed. Try 1t. and see If it doesn't"

A REAL CHARITY

That the people OF Dickinson
county will respond with great lib
erality TO the relief OF the Belgian
sufferers Is without question. There
IL in this rich county O sentiment OF
kindness and sympathy that always
makes a quick response TO the call
OF the needy. The demand In this
instance is very real, w. II. Stubs,
former governor, chairman OF the
state relief work. puts It thus:
"Kansans who have seen the de-
yastation OF a tornado, or OF Hoods
or the loss Of their crops during the
days Of the grasshoppers, can APP
preciate more than anyone else the
devastation Of Belgium when It was
oyerrun with the German, English
and French armies. The fields OF
ripening grain were trampled down.
the gardens laid waste and the
homes destroyed. The women and
children and the aged were fortu-
nate to get away with their lives,
and now they have no food and lit
tie clothing.
This is the greatest cause IN
the world right now, and every Kan
san should help. None should no
eject an opportunity to help in the
relief Of suffering women and
children Of this stricken land.
America has never seen the need
Of assistance as the Belgian suffer
ers need 1t. We have had great cat
astrophes in small sections Of this
country, but never an entire coun-
try or state laid waste at one time,
with the inhabitants driven out to
depend upon the charity Of others
for sustenance. Donations must be
liberal, as there are 100000 ref
ueees to be cared for, and Kansas
must help more than she has ever
helped before"
This Is not case for oratory but
for action, the quickest possible.
There Is no need Of long canvassing;
It Is a time for prompt giving with
every person endeavoring to con-
tribute all he possibly can. This
means a real sacrifice and the
hearts fullest measure Of sympathy
expressed in things for a starving
people to eat.
In the work of this county there
should be no seeking of glory but
everyone should offer help and ad'
vice and everyone volunteer service
freely. The work can be completed
in this county in ten days II we will
all take a part and give Of our time
and money.

Governor Hodges has done the
right thing in calling for a general
movement to help the Belgians. The
whole country has sympathy with
the brave people who fought with
out hope of victory and sacrificed so
much. No country on earth has pro-
fitted as has Kansas from the war
though It is not thing Of which to
be proud. Conditions made our
foodstuffs worth 100000 more
than they were last July and 1t can
afford to do the handsome thing In
heIpfulness and appreciation of the
needs Of a suffering people.

With the election only two weeks
past there is already an acceptance
of the real position of the Progress
sive party as an organization. 1t
is realized that its strength lay in
hero worship. AS the Lawrence Ga
zette puts it, elm the election two
years ago. people all over this great
country voted for Roosevelt, the
man and the hero; in Kansas this
year thousands voted for Murdoch,
the 'scrappy' Kansan in congress,
and for Allen, who can make every
man he knows love him by the
force Of his magnetic personality.
There was no principle involved In
the Progressive cause; there were
men, Just men. and nothing more,
and they were merely heroes Of o
day. The Progressive party will new
er be seen on another official bal
lot" No other two men in Kansas
can make such a showing as did
Murdoch and Allen. The best vote
getters in the party in each district
ran for congress and received pitt
fully small votes. When it came to
principles the great mass Of the
voters realized that the Republican
party is. as II always has been, pro-
gresslve and when the hero worship
was eliminated they turned to It for
leadership in enacting sane laws and
in carrying out helpful government.
In 1915 the Republicans will sweep
the country II they continue their
recognized course Of good legislation
and endeavor as they always have
to make laws IN the interest Of the
American people.

In the view Of the Leavenworth
Times the best joke Of the campaign
was the endorsement BY President
Wilson Of the Progressive candidate
in a district in Illinois when he
meant to endorse his Democratic
competitor, but whose name he had
forgotten. The president vouched
for the mans efficiency as con-
gresham and for his loyalty and
asked as special favor that his
constituents re-elect him. 1t shows
how little those letters of endorse
ment were worth. And there were
some Of them sent to Kansas.

10 SIX or seven million Belgiana
plunged into inconeeivable disaster
BY their own courage and patriot
ism. We ourselves have suffered
somewhat from the worIu-war. but
our woes are infinitesimai in COM
parison. Fruitful Flanders Is chang
cd 10 a desert. In all Belgium the
food supplies have been destroyed
or confiscatsd by German armies.
The natives. rich and poor alike
find themselves in the lowest depth
of poverty. Their money has been
drained off in war indemnities"
collected by the conquerors.
We are rich. Our granaries are
bursting. We should be cailous In
deed II our hearts did not go out to
these sufferers in mingled charity
and admiration.
A shipload of supplies sailed oc-
tober 3rd, and others will follow.
Millions of dollars worth OF flour,
rice, beans and bacon will go for
ward as rapidly as they arer needed
consigned to the American consul at
Rotterdam, and will be distributed
throughout Belgium under the aus
pices Of the American government.
This aid is being rendered through
an admirable mingling Of public ana
private enterprise. The Rockefeller
Foundation has undertaken to pro-
vide the bulk Of the money needed,
though other contributions will be
welcomed, and the campaign OF the
Belgian Relief society has not ceas-
ed. Many millions will be required
for Belgium alone; and the relief
work will be extended, as oppor-
tunity offers. to the needy noncom-
batants Of other nations, with the
constant cooperation Of our state
department.
This action goes farther than any
thing previously done to Justify the
existence OF, the much-discussed
Rockefeller Foundation, capitalized
at 500, 900, 900, the declared pur-
pose of which is ''to promote the
well-being of mankind throughout
the world" The money controlled
by this corporation constitutes prac-
tically a national fund, and 1t is
natural to speak of the big task now
undertaken as an achievement Of
the American people.
Mr.. Rockefeller, whatever the er'
rors Of his business methods or econ
omic judgment, seems to regard
himself, very properly, as a mere
trustee of his vast wealth, under
obligation to dispose of 1t for the
best interests Of mankind. And tht
American people, in the present In
stance can Justly feel that they are
participating in this princely bene
faction to a whole nation. We have
all shared in building that grea
fortune-most Of US, 1t must be ad
mitted, unwillingly-and 1t is wei
that we may likewise share In the
credit Of It's philanthropic disburse
ment.
