Here's to La toilette.

Life: The papers have been making
a great lea of the fact that Sen. r. M.
La Toilette Insisted pom having one
of his speeches printed in full in the
Congressional Record, at an expense of
about twelve thousand dollars. Com
gresham Barnhart Of Indiana says
that If all the members of congress
should be given the same latitude, tt
would cost about six and a half mir
lions of dollars a year to print the
Record. \ ~
Well, what of 1t?
What are six and a half millions OF
dollars among friends? Besides, La
Toilette has for lar ears been known
as one of our leading humorists. The
fact that his humor is Gargantuan, and
that each one of his jokes CONSUMES
from twenty to one hundred thousand
words in type, need not detract from
the necessity of having them placed
before the American people, and GER
tainly there Is no more appropriate
place for humor than in the Congress-
ional Record.

FIGURES
ON The
LOCALS

Pres. John Burmeister sent out the
figures Of the official batting averages
of the Northern today. These figures
show that Fargo has just two men
batting over the 800 mark. Thew are
Old Reliable Unglaub and DeRose.
Every third time Unglaub comes Off
cially to bat, he gets a safe drive. He
has done this from the beginning of
the year, the steady way he has chung
to the 1913 mark being one Of the fea-
lures of the league.
The first official fielding averages
were also made public today as we'll
as the pitching averages.
There are seven men in the league
who. have. not made an error, having
perfect fielding percentages. They.

and scored when Dye doubled.
The last two were added in the
eighth. With the game hopelessly lost
Acting Manager Kurke relieved Barr
and sent third baseman Aftermath into
the box. He got away fairly well in
the seventh, holding the side scoreless,
but in the eighth Weidell got on
through Bakers error and scored when
Unglaub poled out a clean double.
Doyle was there with a long sacrifice
fly to deep center, the colonel cantering
across with the winning run.
In the meantime, Greisell was getting
away well. He pitched a splendid game
although he was frequently in the hole.
In the pinches he frightened up like a
thumb-screw however and the peggers
could do little hitting when the hits
would lave counted.
In the third Tackle scored on his
triple, FOLLOWED by a single by Calhoun.
In the fifth Wilkes walked, went to
second on a fielderss choice that put
Baker on first, retiring Barr at third,
and both scored when Tackle singled.
That was all for the Canadians.
Bven though the peggers loafed
through the last few innings, it was a
real battle in the early stages and an
enjoyable occasion for the loyal fans.

CONVICTED POLICE

St. Paul Men Decide Not to

$4,000 from Ida Dorsey for police pro.
lection for a resort, have been taken
to Saltwater to begin serving their
prison terms of from one to ten years.
At the last moment the convicted
men decided it would not be worth
while to appeal the case. In CONVEX
sation with q friend Martin Flanagan
said it would cost each of them
$b50O to appeal the case and in any
event the matter would drag along
in the courts until next November,
with the possibility of other cases
being brought against them in district
court.
Flanagan said he and Turner
would be living in hell anyway until
the appeal was decided" and they
preferred to begin serving their SEN
fences at once. Both men hope to be
out of Saltwater prison in year or
so, according to their friends. An
acquaintance said Martin Flanagan
told him both he and Turner would
endeavor to be model prisoners from
the start with the hope of being
paroled after serving year.
