GIVE THE COUNTRY A REST.

There is homely saying about
giving calf plenty Of rope and she
will hang herself, and this applies to
Democratic legislation in general. Ii
is only matter of time when the
Democratic leaders. in congress will
break out of the corral that President
Wilson has put about them and go
to making ducks and brakes of the
party program. For this reason we
do not care to give them much ad-
vice, but we will say that the best
politics that they can play is to put
their program through, such as it
may be, and adjourn. Although there
are plenty Of matters that need at
tention and regulation, the thought
has gotten into the minds Of the peo-
pie that business needs rest from.
careless legislative tinkering. That
thought must be allaycd by rest,
and then, too, the members Of con
gress have been at it SO long that
they are stale. overtralned as it were.
II the party leaders are wise they
will whip to conclusion such matters
as seem pressing and adjourn. A
rest will give everyone different
perspective, and perhaps a brighter
outlook all around. At least by De-
cember ] congressman win know
what the people think of their efforts
20 far as they have gone.--C Colorado

John Guydou, of Bluefield, W. Va,
wanted to die, and went to a lot of
trouble to get his wish. He chained
himself to a tree, mailing one end
of the chain to the tree, forming a
loop with the other end and forging
it around his neck. After waiting two
hours to die Guydou changed his
mind, and yelled for some one to re-
lease him. His yells were heard, and
he was set free and went home. His
family must have been pleased to
welcome home freak like Guydou.

and continue their dash over the pros
trate forms of the eastern teams dur
ing this session as they did over the
western half of the circuit, it will be
a long hard chase before they are
caught.
McGraw has Mathewson, Tesreau,
Marquard and Demaree, the big
Four" tuned for this western tour and
expects to deliver. He figures on the
Pirates getting on the receiving end
of several hard, solid wallops before
they are through with the eastern
bunch. 1t is, so far as any one is
able to figure out, largely matter
of Clark's pitchers continuing to come
through. McQuillen, the come back,
has borne the brunt of the pastime
of standing opposing batsmen on
their heads SO far. Lurking in the
background Clark has Bob Harmon,
too. who has shown but little during
the early period. When the sun be-
gins to boil down, however, and Har-
mon loosens up he should be big
help.
Harmon has been guilty of pitch
ing some rattling games and with the
support the Pirates assure a boxman,
to say nothing of some effective
sticking on the side, the ex- Cardinal
may yet come along with Mowry and
Honey and live down the fact that he
played in st. Louis.
With Detroit still setting the pace
for the American league as this
switch in the line of battle occurred,
Jennings also faced stiffer fight to
keep to the fore. Instead of the st.
Louis Brown, White Sox and Cleve-
land Maps, the Tigers have had moth
ing to worry about except the wild
and untamed Yanks or Frank Chance,
Walter johnson, Boehling. the Boston
Braves and team in Philadelphia
known as the Athletics. ,-
That's all they have had to. fear
during their first eastern trip in the
tussle to keep in the lead If Wal
ter johnson doesn't kill some of the
batters maybe the Mackians artillery
will also spare fielder or two and
Jennings will get back to Detroit and
the west in the same spot with the
other teams holding the balance in
the percentage column. ....-t
When Connie Mack decided to land
marines, however, occupy first place
and declare martial law it will take
sniping from the entire league to
dislodge them. If Jennings is able
to jump in and cop the customs house
during the firing, then it may be an
other story, but that is on ahead and
why swim river when the troops
Will soon be along with pontoon
bridges? -
Those Feds are the slugginest slug
gers in captivity. Organized baseball
magnates say it looks like they have
great batting only because the pitch
ing is so poor, but whatever the rea,
son may be they have sure done some
slugging. fsf+
In l25, games the Fed teams have
driven out 4S home runs and enough
doubles and three baggers for 45s
extra bases. They nailed out total
of 1,12l base hits. The National
league in 100 games drove out 939
hits, good for 317 extra bases and in
cluding "a home run swats. The Am
erican league trails in this swattinp
comparison. having driven out only
1904 hits in 140 games. For this
stretch Ban Johnson's outfit slammed
Tor ITO extra bases, including 12
home runs in the collection of knocks.
