SEND REGULAR EMPIRES
WITH CLUBS. HE ADVISES
Poor Umpiring Takes Away the
Confidence Of Hitters and
Base Runners

CINCINNATI, April Big league
umpires should be forced to 20 through
; campaign in the spring 10 order to
get into shape just the same as ball
players are. This Is the belief, EN-.
phatically expressed, OF DOME Bush.
the Tigers shortstop.
1.-THE umpiring we have been getting
on this spring trip ID awful" said Bush
today. 1T doesn't differ any from
that that we have got on every trip at
this time OF the year. though. Spring
umpiring n always bad.
The kind of umpiring that we have
been getting IL very bad for ball play
ers, especially the new men breaking
into the big league game. 1t gets
everybody hitting ut bad balls and
failing to use good Judgment on the
bases. They have no confidence In the
umpiring and would rather take a
chance OF hitting bad ball than being
made to look foolish by having the
umpire call It strike.
II don't see any reason at all why
the umpires shouldn't be sent south
just ~ the big league clubs start their
trips home. II only takes them two
or three weeks to come home, and It
wouldn't be hardship upon the UNI
pires To make them give this time TO
the game.
everybody knows that an umpire
can't see balls and strikes right or
get the close decisions OF q game when
he 6rst starts In the spring. He must
have several days In which to get his
eyes back into shape. Some OF the
umpires realize this and they do some
work before they report. voluntarily.
THE. American league, National
league. Southern league and Amerf-
can association could work together
fine In this way. Each OF them has
eight or more umpires. They could
assign one to each team In their
leagues. That would give the games
played with the Southern league and
American association by the big
league clubs the double umpire sys-
tenn.
There. might be some objection
raised to the effect that II Billy Evans.

troit club to trayel with them he might
become too friendly with the players,
something that IL closely guarded
against There Is some ground for.
this objection, perhaps. but any num-

thing. the National league might send

There were real tears in his eyes
when he finished. And the patrons
seemed to catch the echo of his feel

Jones then walked straight ahead
into the bar. He paid all his en-
ployes. They all silently filed out,
leaving him sitting there alone gaz-

a long wait he stood up with resoIu-

Where the West Begins


Out where the hand clasps a. little stronger,
Out where smile dwells little longer
That's where the West begins:
Out where the sun is little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are a trfe whittier.
Where the bonds of home wee bit tighter
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are trifle bluer
Out where friendships little truer.
That's where the West begins;
Out where fresher breeze is blowing
Where there's laughter in every streamlet. flowing
Where there's more of reaping, and less of sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making.
Where fewer hearts with despair are aching
That's where the West begins;
Where there's more of singing and less of signing.
Where there is more of giving and less of buying,
And man makes friends without half trying
That's where the West begins

The Value of Solitude

''The average American does not,'' says George
Brandes, the Danish critic lately i'll Minneapolis, seemed
have the shges idea of how necessary solitude is
the formation of opinion.
Haven't you, as you've talked with farmers. been
impressed with the "softness'' of their opinions?
There stubborn city men, of COURSE but the Mkt
of life in city tends to certain versatility in
thinking you might almost say tends to substitute i'm
pressions and emotions for thinking.
The farmer, the other hand working for the most
part alone and quietly, has ample time assemble and
digest his thoughts and to arrange them into definite
philosophy.
Hence what sometimes like stubbornness in him
is. instead merely the confidence with which he holds
opinion upon which he has careful and
he was able, thorough job of thinking.

United States may be denied the
privilege of defending his Admins
tration in the same public forum in
which it is attacked. There is no
danger of comforting any immunity
on the late President. If the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs Is not
afraid to break a lance with Mr..
Roosevelt, it will do well to accept
his offer of full and complete testi-
rnony. He says he will conceal moth
ing. He will answer all questions
that the committee or members
thereof will ask.
Anything less than this fair and
straightforward treatment of MIR.
Roosevelt will weaken public conf
dence in the Administrations plan
for settling with Colombia. More
over, to refuse the hearing to the
former President will in no wise de-
bar him from opportunity to get his
case before the public. He will be
very sure to do that.

JAMES D. RICHARDSON.

James D. Richardson, twenty
years a member of the lower house
of Congress, twice Democratic lead
er, and many times proposed as
available Presidential material, was
so long and intimately associated
with affairs in Washington that he
was looked upon as only less a
Washingtonian than a Tennesseean.
His death removes a man who had
been a first-class figure in national
affairs as well as an international
parsonage in the realm of Masonry.
Very few Americans. of his time en-
joyed wider personal acquaintance
throughout the nation.
Mr.. Richardson was at seventeen
years soldier of the Confederacy,
at eighteen adjutant of regiment, at
twenty-eight speaker of the lower
house of the Tennessee legislature;
a record comparable even to that of
Henry Clay, who came to the United
States Senate before he was quite
old enough to be legally admitted.
A long legislative service led to Con-
gress, and in the Fifty-sixth and
Fifty-seventh Congresses he was his
party's candidate for Speaker, which
made him floor leader. The distinc-
ton which he won in that post
brought a recognition which, had he
not represented a Southern State in
the day of the old prejudice against
Southern Presidential ambitions,
might have made him a very serious
figure in the Presidential considera-
tons of his party. He retired from
Congress 70 devote himself to su-

THE HINMANCANDIDACY

Colonel Roosevelt has again shown
his mastery of the political game by
his Endorsement of a Republican,
former State Senator Human, as the
Progressive candidate for governor.
Mr.. Human announces his candidacy
in the Republican primaries against
Mr.. Whitman.
1t will be assumed that Mr.. Roose-
welt can swing his own party back
of Mr.. Hinman. But there will be
strenuous opposition among the Re-
publican rank and file to the colonels
program. Mr.. Barnes is exactly the
sort of boss that he is described as
being, but he is an able political tao
tician and has with him many of the
old Plat lieutenants, each a power
in. his own district, with strength
enough left to mark him as foe
man who must be reckoned with.
The shrewdness of the colonels
move lies in the fact that he shows
the Republican party how it can win
the governorship under Republican
who represents the better element
of the party. Mr.. Hinman was the
leader of the Hughes forces at Al
bany when the present Associate
Justice Hughes was governor of New
York. He is clean, competent, and
experienced-all in all an admirable
candidate. Should he win in both
the Republican and the Progressive
primaries and if Colonel Roosevelt
succeeds in his plan of naming indie
pendent Democrats for some of the
minor places on the ticket, the voters
of New York will have an oppor-
tunity to beat both the Democratic
and the Republican bosses. Tam
many will be left where it will be
forced to put its best foot foremost
to have even a chance of success.
There remains the difficulty of de-
feating Mr.. Whitman in the Repub-
lican primaries. If he is successful,
will Mr.. Human run as a Progress
sive? Of course, with the opposition
split, Tammany would have walk
over. The issue that is presented the
Republican party is a plain one. 1t
can go to victory with Human or to
defeat with Whitman.
AS usual, the colonel comes out
of a political difficulty with the other
fellows walking the floor.
