They Wouldn't Line Up.

1t was O. dose of bitter medicine
for our junior senator when he sat
in the gallery Of the house the
other night and heard his erstwhile
worshipper. Congressman Percy e.
Quin, bitterly denounce the ship
ping trust, and those piratical
thieves,'' who are trying to defeat
the will Of the people by preventr
ing the enactment of the adminis-
tration measure.
And this ACQUIRED, too, after
Senator Vardaman had conducted
a personal lobbying camapign
among members Of the Mississpi
delegation in the lower house, urg-
ing them to stand by him in the
fight against the ship purchase
bill.
Three weeks ago Messrs. Sisson,
Stephens and Witherspoop were
avowedly against the shipping bill,
but since that time wondrous
change has come over the spirit Of
their dreams. In other words,
they are beginning to hear what
the. people of Mississippi think on
the subject, and, not even to save
the political SCALP Of James K. Var
daman, are they willing to turn
traitor to the Democratic party.
Jeems believed, Of course, that
if he could line up the lower house
members from Mississippi on his
side Of the question it would save
his face back home. It so haps
pens, however, that members Of
our delegation want to save their
own faces, and regard their own
political conntenances as Of much
more Importance than the welfare
of Senator Vardaman.
And, speaking of Percy Quin,
that gentleman a few days ago
gave the use of his congressional
frank for the purpose Of sending
out 100, 900 copies Of the speech Of
Senator John Sharp Williams on
the immigration question:. He
was requested to do SO by the
American Federation Of Labor and
the National Farmers Union,
those two organizations having
adopted the speech OF Senator
Williams as their campaign slogan

George Washington


( One hundred and seighty-three
years ago today there was born In
Washington Parish, Westmoreland
County, Va, boy. He was the
son of Augustus Washington and
Mary Ball, his second wife. This
boy afterward became the Father
of His Country. The nation to-
day celebrates his anniversary, and
every patriotic American under the
sun, whether in the frozen zone of
the Klondyke or the tropics of
Panama, will feel a swelling of
pride when he looks upon the Stars
and Stripes and thinks Of the man
who created his country.
George Washington's Birthday
is q national holiday and properly
should be-. No other American Of
his day, nor any American born
since, is so eminentIy worthy of
the title that history has bestowed
upon him.
Though at first he was not in
favor of independence, he was
among the the earliest to perceive
the necessity for it, aud when once
that necessity was recognized he
never for a moment wavered from
his determined purpose. He enter
ed upon the War of the Revolution
with the sedate consciousness of
the magnitude Of the undertaking.
Nor was his blind faith that cam
not see obstacles in their true light.
He had an unhesitsting belief
that the colonies would win in the
end. He Tough Invariably on his
own terms. He was continually
surprising the enemy, but was
never surprised himself. He was
not always victorious, but even
when defeated he managed to with
! draw his troops in practically safe
c0ndition, and they were ready to
fight again the following day. He
was qaick to detect his own and
the mistakes of others, and was
equally quick in correcting his
own.
II want an American character"
.he4declared in defending the course
Of the colonies, that the powers
of Europe may be convinced that
we act for ourselves and not for
others. -
Washington took very little
public part in the proceedings Of
Congress, but his letters show that
he was active in the work Of TO rm
ing and ascertaining public opin-
ion. Though seldom heard in public
speech, he gradually acquired the
reputation Of being the wisest man
in Washington.
There is an atmosphere of uncer-
tainty about the early days Of
Washington's life. He was an in
dependent son Of q wealthy father,
and, like most boys, no doubt SOW
ed his wild oats. Some are inclin
ed to think that the harvest was a
bount;ful one, but admitting all of
this to be true, his deeds Of daring.
and craftsmanship, his valor in
battle, his supreme diplomatic in

at short. There should be an imme-
date improvement in defensive work.
Lickings being received by Newark
and Pittsburgh in the last few days
presented the Whales with excellent
opportunities, but they have failed,
through porous fielding, to take ad-
vantage.
Owner Gaffney of the Braves has
stopped John Evers' pay for five days,
the duration of his suspension for
run-in with the umpires. Gaffney
figures that, with the lines drawing
tight, every ounce of his teams
strength is needed, and player who
takes away any power should be pun
ished. Some time the athletes will
get it into their heads that they can't
win games on the bench.
Perritt held PhiIs to four hits and
Giants won off Mayer. Doyle and
Merkle did the business.
Rudolph went bac kat Brooklyn and
was good. Smith busted a single and
double and scored three times for the
Braves.
Reds errors gave Cards a game.
Meadows pitched good ball.

Walter johnson famed seven and
allowed four hits banking Yanks. In
last 20 innings Tanks have scored
one run off Washington pitchers.
Both teams in that time have scored
four runs.
Lord and Chase headed Buffed at

Groom was easy for Pittfeds. Cakes
raped three hits.
Rankin johnson pitched we'll, but
Tip Tops got to him for punched hits
in the tenth.
Jack coffey has resigned as man.
ager of Denver of the Western league.
No reason was given.
The Speedway Park assn of Chi
cago is determined that all existing
records for 800 miles will be broken
at its annual fall championship race
to be held in October. To encourage
the rs or 80 riders who will be here
for the race to do their utmost to set
anew mark for that distance, Presi-
dent David F. Reid announced yes
terday the association will give a
prize of 1000 to the driver breaking
the existing mark, in addition to the
$4,000 purse already offered.
Officers of the local association are
not afraid their present record for the
distance will be smashed at New York
on Oct. 2, but are willing to take no
chances. They believe the additional
81 ZOO will encourage speed neces-
sary to make a new mark, even if the
mark broken is the one of SO miles
an hour made by Dario Resta on the
local track last June. The total purse
for the fall race now aggregates $685.
900, which is the largest ever offered
for contest over the same distance.
Officials of the Speedway seriously
are contemplating changing the date
