Sunday Baseball

A great deal has been said about
Sunday baseball for and against, but
every day it is demonstrated that
small towns can only secure attend
ance sufficient to support a good team
on Sunday. At Rocky Ford it was
claimed that it could be done but the
Sunday game drew three times the
gate money that the week day game
did. Brother Monkman of the En-
terprise will not report the Sunday
games because he does not approve of
Sunday baseball, but in the same is
sue that he left out the fine game his
home team won he published an ac-
count of the theft of bicycle. The
Register does not wish to intimate he
approves of stealing bicycles but
merely that his position is not con-
sistent. Base ball is admitted to be
the cleanest sport in the world and
will not hurt anyone any day in the
week. Many of the people who OPP
pose Sunday baseball can be seen on
Sunday afternoon boosting Jawn DIS

riding around in their autos.

A Timid Statesman

Senator Charles S. Thomas was a
visitor in Denver yesterday and took
occasion to announce himself a candi-
date for reelection. 1t is our belief
that Senator Thomas will have some
difficulty in succeeding himself. He
has proved a great disappointment to
his many friends who expected much
of him in the senatorial office. But
so far as can be observed, he has
proved himself almost cipher in the
senatorial position, so far as Colorado
is concerned. A number of his votes
proved to be very costly to the bust
ness enterprises Of the state. He has
done little or nothing in behalf of the
state as a whole, but seems to have
been busy ladling out the senatorial
perquisites, as if they were the prin-
cipal business of senator.
More particularly the people Of this
state resent the fact that during the
recent crisis, when Colorado was be-
ing maligned daily and hourly in
Washington and elsewhere, there was
not man in the delegation, with the
exception of Kindel, who said a sim
gle solitary word in defense of the
state, or in defense of the governor
in his efforts to protect life and prop
erty. Instead, when we were being
maligned by politicians and agitators,
our representatives kept silence, ap-
parently admitting the truth Of every
word that was said. These senators
and congressman apparently thought

MURDOCH BACK FROM
SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
Leader Says Progressive Party Is
Prepared to Enter Straight Ticket
in Each State.
CALLS DEMOCRATS FAILURES"

''The Progressive party is going out
into this campaign with a straight ticket
in every State" declared Representative
Murdock, Of Kansas, leader Of his party
in the House. upon his return yesterday
from a month OF speaking on behalf OF
his Senatorial candidacy. The Demo-
Gratis have failed to deliver results from
their Hesitation. Like the other reac-
tionary party, the Republicans, they
have failed to make good. That will
be the slogan Of our campaign.
THE Democrats made a tariff law, and
the cost of living stayed up. They re-
formed the currency, so as to keep the
money of the country out of Wall Street.
and last week New York gained ss,0oo.OO0
in deposits. They are drafting an in
terstate trade commission bill, and 1t viii
exercise no authority over business cor
porations.
THE Interstate Commerce Commission
has been bolstered up for years as great
regulative body. Now we discover that
the New Haven Railroad has been looted,
the back Of the Union Pacific broken, the
Frisco run into the ground, and other
roads treated in similar fashion. These
old parties have not delivered the goods.
"a great deal will be said during this
campaign by the ProEressives concern
ing the exemption OF labor unions from
the scope OF the Sherman antitrust law.
For years l have been contending that
there is no more sense in prosecuting a
trade union than in prosecuting the
Knights of Pythias as a trust. Both are
associations for the social betterment
of their members. The old parties are
pussy footing all around the question.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Kansas City, Feb. A.-"The United
States was nearer/a revolution a year
ago than, at any time since the civil
war;" declared Senator James Hamilton
Lewis. of Illinois, in an address tonight
at the annual banquet of the Kansas City
Bar Association. He declared the people
were angry at the government because
laws made to protect the people actually
worked as an oppression upon them.
Three Presidents-Taft, Roosevelt, and
wilson-have declared the wrongs to the
country were done through law" assert
ed Senator Lewis. Taft said it was by
court delays, Roosevelt said it was
through corruption or ignorance Of
courts, and Wilson has taught that it
was through monopoly privileges granted
to special favorites.
1--WE must awaken to the fact that 1t
is not a question whether the law is con-
sistent with the constitution, but whether
the law is in harmony with present needs.
THE remedy must come through law.
The law must be corrected by law-making
