And Ban Johnson froths at the
mouth at the mention of the idea.
Gilmore's challenge is good adVer-
Using for his league, as he takes oc-
casion to boost his parks, and also
says the Feds have played to 1885,
600 fans during the season.
Anyhow, Gilmore is making work
for the stenOgraphers.
Manager Callahan brought his Sox
home today with the knowledge that
he would have to make a good show
ing against the eastern teams or be
tumbled out of fifth place in the
American League race.
This danger isn't worrying Cal a
great deal He would rather look
over his new players than finish fifth,
as there is nothing to be gained by
a squirt this late in the season.
So far Roth, Baker and Manda
have been given opportunities to
show their wares before Callahan and
Gleason. Manda has been frequently
lifted to make room for a pinch hit
ter, but seldom have the pinchers
done more than the recruit might
have. The fact is, there are no pinch
hitters on the Sox bench. Most of
them are there because they can't
bat more than 200, and that is not
an ideal swatting mark for a pincher.
Next year things may be different.
Indications now are that Callahan
will have at least four good outfeld-
ers, and the one not working can be
sent up in the pinch. 1t is also posi-
BILE that Felch, the Milwaukee pros
pect, will have major league, require
ments, in which event Cal will have
five outfelders. From Collins, Dem
mitt, Roth; ChappeIl and Fetch three
regular gardeners of excellent ability
should be picked, and the other two
will be ready to step to the front.
Now, when the outfieId alignment
s upset, it is necessary to send DAILY

Peckinpaugh will handle the helm
from now to the seasons close. What
effect this will have on the team can't
be determined. It should make the
picking softer for western teams.
Failure to hit opportunity and one
fielding slip back of good pitching by
Scott and WOlfgang let the Browns
take two from Sox yesterday. John
Collins got three hits in the first and
Roth and Baker got two each IN the
second. Manda pOled a hit per game.
The Great Zim, whose greatness"
seems to be mostly physical, became
peeved again yesterday, threw ball
over the grandstand between innings
at Brooklyn and was canned from
the game by Umpire Klein. This is
the second time Klein has fired Zim
for the same offense this season. The
other occasion was against the
Giants on the West Side.
Before getting chased Zim had
pulled some wild mechanical stuff
that set the game up for the Dodgers.
He doubled to start the second inning
and foolishly tried to make three
bases, though the ball had been re-
turned to the infieId. He followed
this up by throwing wild to the plate
while Brooklyn was at bat and also
foozling a grounder. The two mis-
cues presented the Dodgers with
three runs and they batted in three
more.
Lavender had nothing to, rally on
and triples by DaubeTt and Cutshaw
undid him completely.
The Cubs simply played the kind
of ball that has characterized all their
trips this season, and it won't win
many games. The attack was weak,
so was the pitching, and Zim furnish
ed errors enough for all. Kniseley
batted for Good and tripled, thereby
padding his slender sticking average.
Tinker's plan to work his three
best pitchers in rotation brought re-

THERE'S NO SENSE
IN TAKING CALOMEL

Dodson's Liver Tone will fix up
your liver safely and won't knock
You out" day. A man feels very
little like working and a child
don't want to go to school when
bilious or constipated. If you try
calomel to cure You the chances are
that you will be so weakened by its
after-effects that you will be laid
up for two or three days more. So
We say, Don't take calomel. You
can get perfect remedy to take
the place of calomel at Lake Phar-
macy that is guaranteed to relieve
constipation and liven up the liver
just as quickly as calomel, but
without any of the bad after-effects
of calomel. The name of this med
icine is Dodson's Liver Tone. 1t is
a pleasant tasting vegetable tonic
that mildly stimulates the liver and
causes it to work Just right without
any danger of salvation. If it does
not fully satisfy you, you may have
your money back from the store
where you bought Dodson's.

well as fine fighter, by making a

Mexico to originate a new plan of
government and put it in operation,
Good, sound American influences in
close touch with him, have been
educating and broadening Villa for
many months past and he is emerg-

statesman. He has done an i'm

now refuses to spoil by being a
pig-headed obstructionist.

War tactics have changed greatly
in modern times. The general of
today does not lead his troops. If
he hasa brains enough to command,
they are considered too valuable to
expose to hostile shrapnel. No hill
top, no platform such as Napoleon
used at Waterloo, can enable a gen.
eral to watch millions of men fight
ing along a line perhaps hundred
miles or more in length, and to See
with the physical eyes a little piece
of it might only make it more diff
cult for the mind to grasp the whole
clearly. The general in charge be-
ing absorbed at headquarters with
piecing together the whole situation
from reports, might be the one man
in the army to go through the war
without seeing a battle.

By wireless from Berlin we are
informed from day to day that the
Russians are being regularly licked
by the Germans at every point of
contact; and by dispatches from St.
Petersburg and London from day to
day we get the interesting informa-
tion that the Germans are being
monotonously defeated by the Rus
SLAMS at every collision. Under such
hope that Truth, now gasping at
the bottom of a well, will sooner or
later climb to the top and tell us
the cold facts in the case.

Apparently the Germans are not
the full list of their dead
in the Berlin papers. A dispatch
from that city says the list thus far
shows only 1,043 dead, 1925
wounded and 1,761 missing. If this
is accurate the French, British,
Russian and Belgian soldiers are
the very poorest marksmen the
world ever saw and they ought to
turn their guns over to the women,
who might very likely do better,
but could hardly do worse. 1t is
more probable that the figures as
published are inaccurate and do not
account for 1.-THE of the killed
and wounded A war that can't
do any better than that is q piker
war and ought to go out of business.
1t seems like a skirmish between
amateurs as compared with tn
massive and magnificent sum totals
OF our killings during the Civil
War, and if that European conflict
wants to make good its lordly claim
as the biggest scrap in history it
will have to speed up and show bet
ter results than these Berlin figures.
The worlds appetite is now whetted
for blood like one of Nero's box par

there is demand for gore, gore, in
ever increasing quantities. Shoot

Secretary Bryan has been on the
job so constantly and performed his
arduous duties SO successfully since
the European war began that the
most malicious of his enemies can
find no word of criticism to utter
against him. Like the president
whose prime minister he is, he en-
RACES his enemies because he does
his work so well and gives them not
even plausible excuse to wag their
defaming tongues against him.

Judge Blount of Pensacola is
more than sixty years old and the
president rightly holds that for the
arduous duties of the federal bench
younger men than that should be
selected. But it is to be regretted
all the same that a man of the pre-
eminent legal ability of Judge
Blount, combined with his admir-
able strength of character and per-
sonal qualities, hasn't been called
long ago to serve mis- country in
some high judicial station. He is
an aristocrat all right, but his is
the aristocracy of intellect, charac-
ter and culture and no country has
ever yet had too much of that kind.

Writing on THE Electric Railway
and Farmer in the Electric Railway
Journal. John r. Graham. president OF
the Bangor CNIe.) Railway & Electric
company. gives this as one example OF
what trolley lines can do TO develop
agriculture:
In order 10 encourage the raising of
potatoes in the Kenduskeag Valley, the
Bangor Railway & Electric company
IN 1905 reduced the electric freight
rates one-half on carload lots of po-
tatoes. In that year 81 carloads were
shipped. The business has increased
greatly each year. and in 1913 more
than 500 carloads were shipped. Dur
ing the present season II is anticipated
that more than $50 carloads will be
handled by the line, representing an
increase OF more than LOO per cent in
six years. and on lipe only % miles
long, with n population of but $500
people Tne freight and express over
this lire totals more than ~ per cent
of that handled on al, the ct1er cleo
trio railways in Maine. What has been
done on this line can be duplicated
elsewhere.

ANOTHER MEDICATION.

When President Wilson undertook to
enact a stable and sane currency law,
! republicans generally. backed up by a
few alleged business interests, yelled
don't" They predicted dire conse-
I quences to the country should congress
Z fail TO adjourn and go home. What
/ they said then was little more than a
whisper in comparison with the noise
/ they created when the man in the
White House announced his determin-
alton to keep his promise made to the
American people for trust legislation
that would regulate big business and
at the same time set it free. Every
little republican partisan in the nation
denounced the president for keeping
congress in session, and a regular cam
paign was started to defeat the consid-
Grafton of the administration program.
What is the result today? The presi-
dents trust program will be a part of
the law of the land in a few more days,
and with the passage of the several
bills in congress, opposition members
are jumping over one another to record
themselves in favor of the trust bills.
The federal trade commission bill
passed the house by unanimous vote,
which prompted the republican floor
leader, James r. Mann, to say:
'.,T-. Speaker, l think all the men,
bers of the house will vote for this
conference report. Doubtless il Is not
in the exact form in which other men,
bers might have written it, but l think
that on the whole. the house has writ
ten this bill-members on the house
side have written the bill-and l be-
lieve it will prove to be one of the
steps in legislative development which
We have well taken" (ApplauseD
Only a brave man could have with
stood the criticism and attack that was
heaped on the president when he in
sisted that there should be regulation
of the trusts.

70 Make Italy Fight.
Leghorn. Italy, Oct. 9.-Carrying on
a war single-handed in a lone sub.
marine proved too big a task for An

mission was q fairy tale. so they com
planned TO port authorities, who com
municated with Paris. France report
