JUDGE NE" "

Mr.. Bryan makes a plea that
his country judge him fairly.
He will stand or fall on his own
act; he asks only to be heard.
It is very noble. 1t has its
honest pathos.
Butin this very act Mr.. Bryan
again fails utterly to see that
this cpuntry now has on hand far
biegee business than the judging
of M. Bryan. At this moment
when the fate of all is at stake,
the fate of Mr.. Bryan or of any
ather Individual citizen is unin-
portant.
Not one other countrymen. we
believe, would have the impudent
selfishness to thrust into the
midst Of the German negotiations
the demand: Here judge me. .
Every citizen must be Judged
now only as he helps or hinders
the president Of the United
States. On this test William
Jennings Bryan condems himself
afresh every time he speaks.
He asks to be judged on the
Presidents message. He asks
that it be compared with his.
Then he makes literally and ex-
actly no mention of anything
that the message says.
His mind is clouded and over
whelmed by his surprisingly mn
pudent thought: Judge be-
tween ME- and the president OF
the Uuited States.
There can be but one answer
to this demand. 1t will be given
by the people instantly and ever
Iastingly. tx
We believe that under Bryan's
SNUG elf-Eighteousness there is
being revealed the greatest act
of treaeAery to the republic since
that of Aaron Burr. Denver
News.
Right you are, Mr.. News. and
the people will show Mr.. Bryan
that they have no use for man
that will desert his superior in
time of need.

There is one thing a profession
al baseball player values more
highly than he does his batting
average, and that is his favorite
bat.
Ty Cobb, for instance. When
he leaves the bench he picks W
three bats, his own, which il
slender, light in the handle, and
a "toothpick" up to the very spot
he wants the ball to hit, DOME
Bush's long, light. thin bat, "for
luck" and Sam Crawford's for
midabie war club, for luck and
weight.
He grips these three bats in HIS
intertwined fingers and swings
them back and forth. He throws
Crawford's bat back toward the
bench, swings two bats, throw
Bush's bat back and runs to the
plate swinging his own. The ball
player theory of swinging three
bats is that after three have been
swung one will feel lighter.
At bat Cobb grips his thin,
light club firmly with his right
hand and instantly slides Ills left
hand up and down the bat until
it grips two inches above the
right hand.
He uses exactly the grip in bat
ting q baseball that Baird does In
gripping golf club.
| Frank Chance had a lot OF
peculiar habits. He would stor

bat against himself. adjust hi!

GUY BATES POST IN "OMAR, THE
TI1NTMAkER"

There is every indication that a ca
pacity audience will be in attendance
to welcome Guy Bates Post in Rich
ard Walton Tully's spectacular Per-
sian romance, Omar, the Tentmak-
err" at the Orpheum theater for two
performances Saturday, December A..
Pictorially, Omar the Tentmaker," ;"
is an epoch-maling achievement and
has established a new high water
mark for lavish and picturesque stage
adornment in this country. Nothing
more beautiful could be imagined than
the succession of magnificent Oriental
pictures disclosed during the perform
ance. The colored life of the narrow
streets, with their huddled, silk laden
bazars, quaint taverns and busy pot
ters' shops, have been faithfully de-
picted, while by way of restful con-
trust rosebowered, bird-filled garden
at sunset is transferred to the stage
intact. With the interest in Omar's
love-life constantly maintained, Mr..
Tully has also introduced q compact
series of thrilling escapades, sudden
deaths, high sacrifices, deep plottings
and poetic reveries that are caIcuIateG
to evoke enthusiasm from even the
most casual theatergoer. 1t is worthy
of note that the excellent company
which supported him during his
lengthy metropolitan triumph will be
brought intact TO the Orpheum.-Adv
