UNION ASSOCIATION
THING OF The PAST

President Ed F. Murphy of the Union
association has quit that league cold
and washed his hands of the two clu b
circuit, or the remnants of the league
left, Salt Lake and Ogden. He is Of the
opinion that there is not such thing
as Union association at the present
time and that the Salt Lake and ogden
clubs are not playing under organized
ball. while the players of those two
clubs are nothing but free agents to
sign with WIN m they please.
According TO Murphy's understand
ing Secretary Farrell of the national
baseball commission has ruled that
conditions under which the association
practically disbanded will cause the
league to be nom existent.
President Murphy bases his belief on
the ground that when one club of an
association does not pay its players and
the association does not make good, the
c'a m of organized baseball that a
play er is always protected is made void
and there is no organized baseball. He
says this condition exists, as neither
the Butte club nor the association has
made good the salaries of the Butte
players. If the salaries were paid, as
in the case of the Murray club, the as
sociation would exist The president
also says that provision of the con-
stitution calling for six clubs was also
violated.
When asked II he would act in the
Bowling assault on Umpire Spencer, he
said that the southern magnates had
nothing to do with him and he didn't
see that he was called upon TO act. APP
parently he is done with the associa-
ton. but he says he will see to a proper
distribution of the association treasury.

END OF THE THIRD PARTY

lFrom the Phila. Evening telegraph
1t is impossible that this attempted
fusion can profit the Democratic can
didate for Governor. The candidacy
OF DR.. Lewis represented some things
Tor which DR.. Brumbaugh, the Repub-
l1can candidate, stands. His platform
declared for protective tariff - the
protection of the manufacturing and
industrial interests of the State-as
DR.. Brumbaugh's platform does Be
tween such candidates the protection
vote might have been divided 1t will
not stultify itself and strike a blow at
the interests of the Commonwealth bv
supporting the Democratic nominee.
The election of Mccormick, if it
were possible, would mean an en-
dorsement by Pennsylvania of the
Democrats national Administration
and those policies of the Democratic
party which have already proven so
disastrous to the State. Any attempt
to shift the issue will be unavailing1
Pennsylvania is not yet ready to de-
clare its adherence to the business
smashing and free trade policies of
the Democratic party.
AS for the Washington party; this
is substantially the end 1t has been
the almost invariable fate of third
party organizations in PENNSYLVANIA
that they got into the market place
sooner or later, were bartered away,
and disappeared.

ministration.
Representative Gillett charged that
the Democrats have violated their
platform on economy and many other
matters.
To do yourself what you denounce
others for doing" he said, proves you
either weakling or a hypocrite. To
seek popularity and power on a plat
form which you abandon as soon as
successful, ought to forfeit future con-
fidence and respect. AS the Demo-
cratic President and Congress have
broken their party pledges on the
canal tolls and on the civil service, so
have they broken that most venerable,
reiterated and invariable promise of
economy"
on top of the river and harbor steal
and the proposed imposition of $780,
000, 900 of new taxes, the Democrats
are now in a stew over the taxing OF
freight, which many of their leaders
believe will be a further nail in their
political coffin. They are planning to
make President Wilson the goat and
have suspended further action until
he gets back from brief vacation.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the Democratic leaders are greatly
exercised over the situation and are
apprehensive over the effect upon their
party of the breaking of pledges and
the increasing of the burdens of the
people.

"INIPORTED"

"HE word imported" has had in
America magical sound.
! While Germans greatest pride
has been to manufacture for
export and her own consumption
goods marked made in Germany"
our people have been turning up
their noses at the domestic" article
and have not been content unless
their purchase has been labeled i'm
ported"
Time was, and not so many years
ago at that, when America did not
manufacture silks, woolens, china and
what-not of a quality suited to re-
fined tastes. The imported" article
was held in high esteem. because it
was really much better than that
which we made in this country. But
I that period has long since passed.
Our weavers can turn out just as fine
fabrics as can be made in any part
of the world; our china compares
lfavorably with that manufactured
abroad, and our unbounded resources
enable us to make at home almost
everything in the way of luxuries and
necessities that we demand. The
word imported" no longer means su-
perior quality. Give our people at
home opportunity and encouragement
and there will be no more fear of our
| European supply being cut off.
If our manufacturers learn that we
prefer the domestic article to the inn
ported it will not be long before they
will be prepared to meet the require
ments of the growing market.
