The Congressional Contest

The contest in this district for the
Republican nomination for Congress
is void of any hip-hip-hurrah bust
ness, the campaign assuming an at
titude of quiet, calm judgment. And
the situation should be of that nat
ure. Fair minded voters are always
willing that representative who has
served his government as well IS his
constituents with loyalty to them
should be given another term. S.
Taylor North's usefulness TO the State
and this district when he was mem
Der of the Legislature is recognized
as beng of sound judgment, and
already his service as a Congressman
has proven to one and all that Mr..
North stands firm on the principals
that make for good government and
a free and happy nation.
Mr.. Norths unquestioned LOYALTY
to his party has never misled him
Into an unpatriotic attitude, and only
recently he gave fresh evidence of
his breadth of mind by supporting
the President on an important in
ternational question.
Every sane man knows that it is
the heighth of folly to elect a new
man to Congress every time one is to
be elected, and in this district the
leaders as we'll as the masses have
always advocated sending a man at
least twice to Congress. When that
is the rule it is only fair that all should
be treated alike, and when the district
has useful man IN Congress it is
only just that he should be given the
second tenn, None questions Mr.. |
Norths loyalty to his party, and none
questions the earnestness and .ncerity |
a his stand for the enactment of laws |
that are for the best interests of the |
country. All that is asked for is an
lonest and wholesome consideration

ty in Legislature affairs.

Bureau of Mines careful and PAINS
taking study has been given to the
problem of safeguarding the lives of

Officials of the bureau believe that
a copy of this publication should be
in the possession of every miner and
with the desire that these engaged in
the industry in the counties of Arm

information contained therein, Con-
gresham S. Taylor North of Punxsu-
tawney, has secured a asupply and will
be pleased to mail them free of any
charges to all who Will make the re-
quest.
The circular is intended to serve as
a guide to Miners in rendering aid to
injured fellow workmen. It is pro-
tusely illustrated and besides furnish |

physiology contains a wealth of in
struction as to the proper treatment

a point where they found it difficult to

would not warrant an assistant. !

crest Of baseball 1t is unlikely that
the wonderful Alex can ever duplicate
his work Of a year ago. He may pitch
better baseball in spots; he may turn
in a better average But 1t seems be-
yond the range of possibility that he
ever again will rise to the sublime
heights in the critical moments as he
did last year.
The PhiIlies will take the field in
1916 without any noticeable changes in
lineup. They haven't acquired any
youngsters who look likely to blossom
forth into big league flowers. And, as
not have a real chance against the
greatly improved machines that other
cities will send into the battle.
Braves Look Good.
The Braves look about as good as
any club in the Tener circuit The addi-
tion of Ed Konetchy ought to improve
the batting and fielding power. The
Braves have few young pitchers who
may be able to jump into the lineup
regularly. They have fair batting
power, great fielding strength. a super
fluffy Of pep" and some real pitchers.
Theirs is a machine built compactly;
a machine with speed and endurance.
The Giants are a problem. They have
been strengthened greatly by the addi
ito nof several Federal leaguers and

have they been strengthened suffi-

good enough to set the pace from the

our guess. Charlie HerZog, the bat
Ting" manager, is extremely confident
that his club will be in the fight all
the way into the stretch-and Herzog's
optimism is shared by many of the
dopesters
The Reds will have a great infieId
with MollwitZ on first. EsmOnd at sec
ond, HerzOg at short and Groh at third,
and they'll have a fine outfield, too.
Behind the bat the Reds are as strong
as any other club in the league, while
their pitching strength is increased at
least 40 per cent by purchases of Fed
eral league and bush" talent.
The Pirates cannot be figured as
powerful club. They never were in
the fight in 1915, yet the plan seems to
be to send practically the same crew
into battle in 1916-unless some real
major leaguers are found among the
youngsters. Jimmy Callahan may be
able to put the club into the fight but
It seems doubtful. The Pirates must
be rebuilt before the Smoky City folks
