Sammy Jay Does Some
ShreWd Guessing.

Sammy Jay is queer fellow. AL
though he is a scamp himself, and
dearly loves to make trouble for his
neighbors, he is always ready to take
their part when others make trouble
for them. Many are the times he has
given them warning of danger. This
IS one reason they are quite willing to
overlook his own shortcomings. So,
though IN many ways he is no better
than Reddy Fox, he dearly loves to up
set Reddy's plans and is very apt to re-
joice when Reddy gets into trouble.
OF course. being right there he saw
all that happened when Reddy ran
against the old barrel at the top Of
the hill and sent it rolling down with
Jimmy Skunk inside. He had been
quite as much surprised as Reddy had

Willie Mitchell of the Cleveland team.
on whom waivers have been asked by
his club. is wanted by Detroit. The
Tigers believe that Mitchell would make
a good pitcher for them and that he is
not showing the form he is capable of
with the Indians, where he has been
too long.
There is but little probability of the
Tigers getting Mitchell, however. The
southpaw is showing more stuff in
practice ever since he learned that the
club wants to get rid of him and he
may be given another chance.
Critics and fans usually blame the
manager for the failure of a team. At
times these charges are well founded.
but there are times when it is the
fault Of the team that it is not higher
in the race. On the other hand, there
are managers who get lot of boost
ing S the result of their teams ability.
Lee Fohl, for instance. was Unknown
never having been identified with a
major league team in anything but
minor position. Yet he has made good
as the manager of the Indians, who
that team will finish is not known, but
it appears a cinch that wherever it
goes Fohl will get nothing but praise
for the brilliant showing he has made
to date.
Bill Donovan is not getting the credit
he deserves, for, though his team is
badly crippled. he is criticised a not
being capable. Donovan is capa BILE
any of his rivals, and it is because
the breaks have been against him that
he is not nearer the top.
No matter how capable a manager
may be, he cannot produce a winning
team without good playing material.
Wisdom and decision alone will not
suffice for a ball team. There must
be playing strength in abundance be-
fore pennants can be won. and while,
of course. the manager has much to
do with keeping a team fighting hard
and directing it's course during a cam
paign. he can accomplish little If po-
tential strength is lacking.

SOMETHING NEW
FOR BLACKFOOT

The Republicn office has installed
rapid-fire printing press for rapid
work. 1t is operated by an individual
motor that changes speed at touch
from the operator and runs at high
or low speed according to the tip
given to the regulator.
There has never been such press
in Binghe m county before and The
Republican office is taking advanced
ground as usual in introducing the
new things that make for better SER
vice. Another feature of the man
agement at The Republican office is
that all the presses and motors are
on cement bases and set absolutely
solid while they work. When presses
rest on wood bases and the wood vi
brates or springs or teeters, the
presses can not do perfect printing
and they wear out rapidly. Our light
ming press is new and was purchased
at a bargain, the rising cost Of ma
chinery presenting new quotations
and the withdrawal of the old prices
by the time ours reached. Some more
new equipment is in transit and the
steady growth of our circulation and
job printing give us the assurance to
provide better service each month in
return for the generous patronage of
the public.

it got to wobbling under the hioh

two or three times, burst two tires,
turned over and smashed all the up
per parts to atoms.
r. e. Porter, who lives just west
of there saw the accident and hur-
ried to the rescue. He found Mr..
Sjostrom and the wind shield in one
place and the car some distance far
ther on. He was unconscious and did
not revive until Friday morning. He
was taken to the Blackfoot hospital
and was found to be bruised in many
places and his back wrenched.

PROGRESSIVES COME
OUT FOR HUGHES
Moosers National Committee Has
Stormy Meeting and Declares
For Hughes
ROOSEVELT SENDS LETTER

With nine members not voting the
national committee of the Progress
sive party endorsed Charles e.
Hughes, for president by a vote
of 80 to six. Some of the mem
bers opposed endorsing any candi-
date at all, but the Hughes side of
the fight was carried on by George
w. Perkins, of New York, James R.
Garfield, OF Ohio, and Chester Fl.
Rowell, of California, and brought
to successful close.
At the first of the meeting the
minority held out for an open meet
ing. When they won it, several men,
bers of the committee, led by John
M. Barker, of Louisiana, bolted the
meeting.
Colonel Roosevelt's letter was a
long one, intended to supplement his
letter sent to the Progressive conven-
tion upon receipt of news that he had
been nominated by them. In it he
praised the spirit Of their convention
and their stand for preparedness. He
declared that the principles of the
Progressive party have been adopted
by other parties, and in many in
stances enacted into law. He likened
the present Democratic administra
tion in it's shortcomings to that of
Buchanan. He pointed out the solem-
nifty of our time when world crisis
is Impending, and asked all Progress
sives to think for the best of the
country, with high patriotic purpose,
and support Mr.. Hughes for the
presidency. Mr.. Roosevelt stated that
one reason why he is not willing to
be a'candidate is that since the con-
vention he received between two and
three thousand letters and kilograms
from persons who had supported him
in the nomination, but the majority
of them expressing desire that he
refuse to accept it. He seemed to
feel that if there is to be a change
of administration the people want
Hughes for president and that con-
sequently third party in the field
would only confuse matters.
