The morale of baseball team is as
likely to be affected as the morale
of an army by an unpromising out
look. In view of the hopelessness OF
its position with regard to the pen
nnt, it is not at all improbable that
the New York team failed to play
its best. The Boston Nationals,
which could not win the pennant de
feated Philadelphia which had a
chance to win it, in two straight
games. Boston, in these games,
played is very hardest; so did Phila-
delphia. The manager and certain
members of the Boston team were
known to be more friendly, socially
to the Philadelphias than to the
Brooklyn and by throwing their six
games the former, could have assur-
ed them of the championship even
though Brooklyn won every game,
Boston, however, won three of the
first four games, thus eliminating
Philadelphia.
To sum up, there does not appear
to be any ground for Manager Nc
Graw's insinuation or accusation. So
far as can he seen, professional base
ball remains clean. Nor is it to be
believed that it will suffer in repute
or in popularity by an unjustifiable
charge. And this is the opinion also
Of the National baseball commission,
which has wisely decided to ignore
the allegation. - Christian Science

THE CONTEST is BETWEEN !
FULL TREASURY AND AN
EMPTY TREASURY.

We want to say TO the readers Of
The Capital that the present riches
of the United States are due to the
great wall of protection put up by
the European war. We are feeding
Europeans. We are clothing Euro
peans. We are furnishing them with
guns and ammunition. We are sup
plying them with horses. This is all
artificial. The trade Of Europe win
not be cut off from our shore again
by universal wars for a hundred
years. European wars have brought
temporary prosperity. But the old
doctrine Of a protective tariff, il ap-
piled, will bring prosperity and make
it permanent. The trouble has been
in the past that when the protective
tariff brought prosperity some peo-
pie grew dissatisfied, in fact, the
politiians made them dissatisfied and
tariffs were repealed. II the Repub-
ican party is restored to power and
shall have the nerve to re-enact a
protective tariff and the people shall
have the nerve 10 stand by such a
doctrine, this great country viii go
on and prosper. Otherwise we shall
drop into the conditions Of former
years. With the doctrine Of protec-
ton we can establish banks in Euro

1t is not unusual that interest

that shall determine what two

A DISCUSSION OF ROOSEvELTS
PART IN THE CAMPAIGN
lBy George G. HID

The chief issues of the Democratic
party are the fallacious contentious
that president Wilson has kept us
out Of war" and that the prosperity
which the nation now enjoys makes
change of administration unneces-
sary and unwise.
That the first contention is pure
fallacy has been abundantly demon
strated by Ex-President Roosevelt.

Roosevelt's Lewiston and Battle

ters this season, especially with re
gard to those teams in the lead. AS
a consequence of an apparently fixed
belief that his team must win the
National league pennant, in view Of
its remarkable record of 26 consecu.
utive victories on the diamond, Mr.
McGraw, manager of the New York
team, familiarly known as the
Giants" was unable, 1T appears, to
accept, with the equanimity and gra-
ciousness Of the true sportsman and
good loser, defeat by the Brooklyn
team, familiarly known as the Rob
ms" at Ebbets field, in the latter
city, last Tuesday. On the contrary
he is quoted as making remark di
rectly impugning the loyalty and
honesty of his own men. 1t seems
that displeased with what he regard
ed as intentional listlessness and
carelessness on the part of the whole
team and especially 50 with regard
to certain individual players, he left
his seat when Pitcher Perritt allow
ed runner to "steal" second, made
a public exhibition of his Indignation
and plainly intimated that his men
had not tried to defeat their oppon-
ents.
For more than 40 years the prin-
cipal asset of professional baseball
has been its integrity. In its begin
nings there We're reasons, and strong
reasons, for public distrust of the
"squareuess" of professional con
tests, and nothing speaks more elo-
quently for the straightforwardness
courage, and wisdom of the early
friends and promoters of this great
outdoor sport than the manner in
which they set about making it clean
and the persistence with which they
strove to keep it clean. Profession
al baseball would be profitless vo-
cation, and the game would soon fall
into disrepute and decay, if the peo-
pie who pass thru the turnstiIes by
the million, annually, should find
cause for believing that the games
they came to see were not played to
be won. There is evidently but one
opinion in the nation today, with re
gard to the strict integrity of the
sport and that is favorable.
In the present instance, it might
rs well be admitted, and it is, in fact
frankly admitted that in the game
with Brooklyn. on Tuesday, the New
York team did not play up to its
standard But this is not unusual.
Teams often play below their stand
ard, whether engaged in an ordinary
or a crucial contest. 1t is common
ly because one team plays little be
low and another plays little above
its standard that game is lost or
won.
Moreover, New York had no pos
sible chance of winning the pennant,
or Of improving its position in the
race. It's players had nothing to
or lose. Brooklyn was playing for
the championship with everything to
gain or to lose. As New York had
nothing to win, the players were,
perhaps, disinclined to take the
game as seriously as they might
have done in other circumstances.
