THE PRESIDENTS
DAUGHTER

"She's the daughter of her

veteran of hundred political
battles as Miss Margaret Wilson
concluded her appeal to a Con-
gressional committee the other
day for legislation which would
make h e school buildings of
Washington open forums"
where the residents Of the ma
tions capital might assemble for
the discussion o f questions Of
public interest.
Washington, in common with
other cities, has many school
buildings equipped with excel
lent auditoriums. They are used
by the scholars during the day,
and Miss Wilson believes they
should be used by the scholars
parents during the evenings.
Men who are constantly attempt
ing to bind and gag public senti-
ment are very much opposed to
the suggt ssion.
The matter finally came before
the Committee on the District of
Columbia and Miss Wilson cap
tanned her forces with wit and
skill. Physically she is a pocket
edition of her distinguished sire
and she inherits much of his
mental strength and alertness.
The spectacle of the daughter
of a president debating democra-
cy with half a score of Congress-
men was a most unusual one.
but the modern Portia won the
hearts of the crowd and appar-
edtly captured a majority of the

have fun with her but they soon

William j. Bryan has once

the great Nebraskan.
In the last issue of the Com
moner, Bryan declares unquali-
edly in favor OF the denomination
and reelection of Woodrow Will

TT is now certain that Presi-
dent Wilson will be renominated
by acclamation. No other name
will be presented to the conven-

his administration and the record
made by the Democratic Con-

may exist, between the President
and Congress will be comprom-
ised. and the party will present
a united front.
LET every Democrat get ready
for the campaign AMI 20 to work.
w. j. Bryan.
Colonel Bryan's declaration is
not a surprise to his friends, but
it will prove very embarrassing
to his enemies.
It means that the. persistent
efforts OF certain individuals and
interests" to force a break be-
tween Wilson and Bryan have
failed, and that the Democracy
will go into the campaign this

The ''Chalk Talk" given by
Reverend Fawcett last Saturday
night was quite largely attended
but the general opinion of the
majority was that it wash up to
the standard that the high school
wishes to keep in regard to its
entertainments.
Every effort is now being made
to close up the years work in the
high school and the grades. The
seniors are working on their play
and also preparing for the Com
mencement. TIE grades are
strairing every nerve to prepare
for the examination that will
take place next week.
The C. l. C. give a very ex-

rendered music. Miss Plessinger
and Miss Kitch. members of the
teachi G force, and Genevieve
Wells represented the school in
the casts.
The contest in arithmetic and
and spelling that was held Satur-
day was the biggest school day
ever held in Cheyenne county.
The spelling was exceptionally
fine. Ethel Boyd carrying off
first honors and Theodore Will
liam second in the eighth grade.
The spelling of the eight grade
as a whole was very praiseworthy
Over three hundred people were

can sing and dance some too.
Great specialties will be put on

Every one, however, does not seem
to be working with the same courage

days in a row as failing to exert him.
self as he should. Saturday in Gin
cinnati he did not run out a ground
ball, and yesterday in ST. Louis he did
not relay the ball home when the
winning Cardinal run counted.
The war correspondents report
that even if Heinie had made the
throw Hornsby probably would have
counted, but there was a chance.
There is always a chance and the
winning baIlplayer is the one who
tries to take advantage of it.
No team has ever won a pennant
when the athletes weren't trying
every step of the way, no matter
how much things seemed to be

faces the same problem that trou-

MuIIigan is playing better ball and
should have regained his stride by
the time the club returns home
Thursday. A good start before the
home folks will be big help to him.
The Tigers are having a hard time
getting started. Their batting is
strong, but they have been given bad
pitching. Yesterday they knocked 10
hits, but Cobb and Young were
thrown out at the plate when the
game seemed won. Veach got three
doubles and a single and Cobb a dou-
BILE and single. Speaker hit three for
Cleveland.

game for Cincinnati against Pitts

changed the course Of the game.
The game did demonstrate that
the SOx are no great shakes against
a good left-hander. They got some
runs off Weilman, but the lengthy
sOuthpaw was his own worst enemy
and hits were not the cause of his
downfall. They also had Ed Plank in
difficulty, but again because of pass
es, only one hit being made off the
veteran in two and a third innings.
And there are some good south
paws in the league. Weilman, Plank,
COveleskie, Coumbe, James, Ruth,
Leonard, Bressler, Wyckoff, Boeh-
ling, Harper and Hamilton are all
soUthpaws of more than ordinary eff
ficiency and will give the locals a lot
of worry.
Fourier will be the member of the
wrecking crew to suffer the most, as
he is more baffled by the offside
shoots than are Ed Collins and Jack

organization, but needs to be force
fully impressed with the fact that it
never has enough runs.
One inquisitiVe fan wants to know
why in thunder the Cubs are not win
ming more ball games. The mystery
is very deep, but after thorough in
vestigation and deduction. we find
that the Cubs are not hitting and
scoring runs, which appears to be
the solution.
On the brand of pitching they have
been receiving the Cubs should have
four victories and one defeat, instead
of having those figures reversed.
Hendrix, Seaton and Mcconnell have
turned in four beautifully pitched
games and Long George has the lone
victory. In no game except the one
pitched by Jim Vaughn has the en-
envy made more than six hits.
