A PARTY AFRAID
OF ITSELF

In the last Congress the Democratic
majority in the House was 1875. The
ratio Of Democrats and Republicans
sss as slightly more than two to one.
The committees Of the House contain
twenty-One members, and the Demo
Gratis were justified in arranging the
number to comprise fourteen Demo
Gratis to seven Republicans.
In this Congress, the Democratic ma
jority is only twenty-five. The ratio
Of Democrats to Republicans is but
slightly more than one to one; and the
committees containing twenty-one
members should comprise eleven Dem.
oerats and ten Republicans-or, at the
utmost, twelve Democrats and nine
Republicans.
Yet the Democrats intend to make
no such arrangement. They purpose to
%raaintain their numerical as~cendeney
On the committees. Publicly they give
no reason for this except that they
have the power 10 do SO and that they
intend to exercise that power. Private
~, however, il is well known that the
Democratic leaders are afraid to di.
minish their party representation on
The committees of the House.
The Democratic party is honey
eombed with sedition. One or two
Bryan men on a committe, made up in
just proportions, could at any time
throw the control Of the committee in
TO Republican hands. The House is full
CT prospective rebels and the leaders
iHtend to take no chances.
In effect, the Democratic party il
afraid of itself. II canno. trust to tn.
loyalty Of its own members. Yet thai
party, in such a condition, is entering
upon a session of Congress in which
larger and more momentous issues are
at stake than for n generation Of pas,
legislation. That party, in such a con
dition, expects TO control the decision
of those issues. God save the United
States of Americai

THE REPUBLICAN WAY

The administration program to re-
duce the exempted limit of taxed in
comes and to lay on other new direct
taxes is meeting with no warmth OF
approval from the Democratic press,
though the partisan editors are trying
hard to find justification for the plan.
nse Of them affects to take the scheme
viii resignation, and seeks to comfort
himself with the reflection that elf
the Republican party were in power
at this time, 1t would be compelled to
resort to such measures to keep the
public treasury supplied"
Right there, however, that editor
shows himself to be in the wrong.
fluctuations have been made which
show that, even with the present vol
m Of imports, the Democratic tariH
law has such a low general average OF
cuties that it falls more than nine mil.
lion dollars a month behind the Repub.
lican tariff law in it's returns to the
treasury. In other words, given only
the present volume Of imports and APP
plying the higher duties which Repub-
Leans believe in and which they APP
piled, the treasury would be 80, 900, 900
better off every month if the Repub.
lieans were in power. The European
war to which the Democrats blame all
their troubles and wherein-paradox:.
cal as il may seem-nas nevertheless
been their greatest asset, has now
been going on for sixteen months. At
the rate of 100000 a month this
would have yielded $l44, 900 900 to the
n easury; and, since Mr.. MeAdoo
reekons less than 100000 900 as nee.
essary for Sthe defense program, it is
easy to see that the Republicans, if
they were now in power, would not be
casting about for new objects of taxa
tion as the Democrats are. III the Re
publicans were in power, they would
be paying for defense as they paid for
the Panama canal-out of ordinary

PELooUIN BLOWS UP
 IN LUCKY SEVENTH
Free Passes, Errors and a Couple of Hits Give State, Hospital a Victory Over Wuareaan.

The Hospital evened up the series with Wauregan by winning the game Saturday on the Hospital diamond by the score of to 3. From the start both teams fought hard and the game ran scoreless until the fourth inning when Wauregan punched three hits that netted them the two first runs Peloquin seemed still to have the In- dian sign on the Hospital boys as he kept them away from the scoring line until the fifth. when the home boys, aided by a couple of errors with two hits tied the score. But it was not until the seventh inning that the real action began Peloquin, pitching air tight ball until then, suddenly weak ened and filled the bases on three suc- cessive passes and on an attempt to catch runner off first the first base man let the ball get away from him and after the ball had been thrown around and things had settled down four Hospital runners had crossed the platter. These runs had a discour- aging effect upon the visitors and the home team had no trouble in adding total of nine in all Fielding honors went to McGraw. who grabbed a hot liner off his shoe tops and Hocken- brocht on a clever running one-hand pickup of a ball labeled for a sure hit getting his man at first.
 Danny Harrigan. acknowledged to be the best pitcher that ever wore a Hospital uniform by all fair-minded fans. demonstrated again his ability to hold opposing batsmen to a few hits and less runs and for once in a long time his teammates came through with the necessary goods and gave him the batting support he has so long been deprived of as game after game has been lost through the inability of the Hospital players almost to a man to hit when hits meant runs. Chase play ed first like a veteran and as a whole the home team played a snappy game.
 Next Saturday the Hospital team plays the deciding game with Potter Hill. Jack Frill, the old Jersey City Newark and New York American pitcher is scheduled to pitch for Pot ter Hill. as he is home now for the winter at Westerly and a close game Is expected. The Hospital plays the deciding game with Wauregan on the Hospital diamond on Saturday, Oct. End.
