Campbell was formerly of Sc
dalia and succeeded in white
washing the Athletics, while
pitching for them, but when the
Sedalia team went to pieces, he
was secured by the local mana
gers. Campbell is a nifty pitch
er, the fastest infelder on the
team, good, sure hitter and has
a baseball head. The "little
fellow has certainly won the
fans of this town, and everyone
that goes to a game now is for
The Athletics.
Another baseball treat next
Sunday, when Schmelzers come
back. Batteries: X. c., Dunn

ATHLETICS WIN AND LOSE.
After Losing First Battle / to 0,
They Trimmed Maxwell's
g tn

The two ball games between
the Maxwell's of Kansas City
and the local team Sunday and
Monday, resulted in an even
break for the home team. They
lost Sundays game l to 0 in ten
innings and it was undoubtedly
the best ball game seen here
this season. The Maxwells are
the only team in the City that
has succeeded in beating the
pace setting Schmelzers. The
Athletics did not play the rag
ged brand of ball that they put
up against Odessa, but played
in big league style. Manager
Drummond Brown had instilled
his players with a fighting spirit
and lots of pep that was notice
able to the end. For nine innings
neither side scored, but in their
half of the first extra inning the
visitors second man up lifted
the ball over the right field wood
work for two bases and scored
when Harding misjudged a
long fly, which would have
meant the third out and the
score would not have counted
had he caught it.
The game was a pitchers duel
between Beltz, a southpaw and
premier boXman for the Max
wells, and William Campbell also
of Kansas City. Lexington got
5 hits off Beltz and Campbell
allowed the motor boys 7.
The second game on Monday
was won by the locals 8 to A.
After the first inning Lexing-
ton took the lead and held it
throughout the game. Beltz
was sent back to the mound for
the Maxwells, but was hit hard.
Brown of Sedalia started to
work for the Athletics and
pitched good ball for 5 innings,
the score being 5 to 2 when he
retired. Campbell replaced him
and pitched the same invincible
ball the remainder of the game.

All Drunk But One.

1t would appear from the

EDISON DECLARES
HE is FOR WILSON
Inventor COmmends the Presi-
dents Mexican Policy and
His Open Mind.

Thomas A. Edison has de-
clared his intention to work and
vote for the reelection of Wood
row Wilson. This announce
ment was the cream of the
news from the Democratic Nat
ional Committees headquarters
Monday.
Mr.. Edison makes the follow
ing statement:
"More than any other Presi-
dent in my memory Wilson has
been faced by a succession of
tremendous problems, any one
of which decided the wrong way
would have had disastrous con-
sequences. Wilson's decisions
so far have not got us into SER
ious trouble, nor are they like
ly to.
"He has given us peace with
honor. This talk about the
United States being despised is
all nonsense. With reference
to Mexico, l think the President
has acted wisely, justly and
courageously. l do not believe
that we should have intervened,
nor do believe we should inter-
vene now.
Both against England and
against human slavery the
United States worked out its
salvation through revolution,
and it was a pretty slow, trying
process.
"It has been said that at first
Wilson was against prepared
ness, but that when convinced
that intelligent public opinion
was over waelmingiy III favor Of
it he changed. That is the prop
er thing for our Presidents to
do. His attitude on the tariff
shows an equal openness of
mind. They say he has blum
dered. Perhaps he has. You

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSED
TUESDAY NIGHT
Programs Gave Good Satisfac-
tiOn. May Return Next
Year.

The Chautauqua was cOnclud-
ed Tuesday night with the Child
ren's Pageant and the Ada
Roach Concert Co. The pro-
grams this year included many
numbers of unusual merit for a
ChautauQua and numbers which
made the general average all
that could be expected. 1t was
by far the best chautauqua the
people of this community have
had the opportunity to enjoy,
yet the pledges for tickets next
year has not reached the point
where it is at all certain that
the chautauqua will return. 1t
is absolutely up to the people; it
is their show, and if there are
not enough tickets pledged
within a few days, there will be
mo chautauqua. Those who
are in favor Of the chautauqua
and would attend next year and
have not already subscribed,
would favor the committee by
communicating with J. G.
Graddy, Lexington, Mo.

Mrs. B. 7. Wiley, will leave Sat-
urday, September 16, for Mays
vile, Arkansas, where he will
assist Mrs. Dora Meng, former
ly of Dover, in managing a
drug store. Mr.. Wiley is one of
Lexington's most promising
and popular young men and one
whom Lexington can i'll afford
to lose. He has been connected
with the Crenshaw & Young
drug store for several years and
made good. The Intelligencer
joins with his many friends in
wishing him all kinds of success.

County Agents Work.

The work Of the county agent
supplied by the Missouri College
of Agriculture, depends largely
on what the farmers of the
county want done. They always
make it point to secure a man
who is anxious to make good
and well qualified to do so and
then cooperate with him in
such a way as to get the best
possible results.

LABOR CELEBRATES
AI Join in Making a Pleasant
and Profitable Day.

Labor Day was strictly observ-
ed in Lexington Monday by
all Of the people. The day was
given to recreation and pleasure.
The Unions had provided a pro-
gram that was intended to
reach every class of people; it
was so varied that everyone, ex-
cept the cronic crouch, could
find something that appealed to
them in the way of recreation.
There was music all day. Jack
Bells band did yeomanry service
for the crowds which was con-
stantly shifting from one place
to another. The aeroplane made
two flights, one in the morning
and again in the afternoon. This
was something new for Lexing-
ton people and thoroughly en-
ioyed by all who saw it. The
other attractions included wrest-
ling and boxing matches, speech
making, baseball, etc. All this
combined with the Chautauqua
gave everyone an opportunity to
forget labor and enjoy a day of
complete relaxation.

GERMANYs CLAIMS TO NAVAL VICTORY

Whether British or German arms won the victory in
the greatest seabattIe of history, that fought off n-
land at the beginning OF this month, remains I'M
answered question in the minds of neutrals.
Gernany's delayed official statement, portion OF
which appeared in the Star Bulletin yesterday and the
remainder OF which arrived by cable last night and IS
published today goes into details to prove that the
German navy proved itself the superior force in this
engagement The British have given several Off
tia statements all claiming that Germany suffered
not only relatively heavier less but absolutely
heavier
The trouble with these official statements is that the
world has been fed on them since the opened
and has come distrust them thoroughly. The Off
cal press bureaus constantly minimize the losses OF
heir own side, if they do not exaggerate the
Iosses of the enemy Who for instance, outside the
figher-ups Of the German, French and British war
s,asss knows precisely what is going on at Verdun'
Who believes that the meager announcements from
Faris, London and Berlin are telling the real story
6oncernng the progress of the German attack the
arength of the French counter?
At the beginning Of the war the various countries
involved put their news in the hands of press bureaus
whose job was to suppress everything which by any
possBility could be Of Service to the enemy This
policy has been carried to such absurd lengths that
official statements of any occurrence are no longer
taken as comprehensive accounts. Some months ago
the German admiralty, finding that its own official
statoments were not credited by the outside world,
allowed American correspondent to visit the Ger
man High Sea fleet in order to puncture an exagger-
ated British report If either the British the Ger
admiralty now desires that the world should know
he exact truth concerning the losses in the Jutland
battle the British and the German governments viii
have permit neutral naval experts to make thor
ough irst-hand investigation
Military censorship is an invaluable aid to military
Srategy but it has its drawbacks. One of these draw
hacks is being displayed in the general hesitation
Of netras to accept as conclusive any parte state
nent dealing with war losses or gains.
But even this situation hardly detracts from the
world wide interest with which the detailed German
announcement is now being received. Its publication

EDITOR
! GENTLY-THRQNIN. BRICkBAE .

Honolulu tried pretty hard to please the hundred
of visitors from the other islands who came here 10
Kamchaneha week, but one visitor, Editor lInlnon
OF the Garden Island wasn't pleased lie eXpresse
himself editorially as follows - j..
"Jonoulu invites the people OF the islands to
come at June IL and accept her hospitality and then
proceeds close all Of her doors If the scheme OF
closing government Offices and more notable sull the
stores of the town intended concession to hard
worked 90 employees and officials, we hive nothing
to say but it certainly leaves Honolulu deucedly I'M
interesting to the average islander visiting the city
People of the outer Islands who have lived in Homo
lulu have no complaint to make, but ninety per cent
OF the visitors to the city on occasions like this are
to all intents purposes in strange place Base
ball racing do not particularly interest them
and they have an Indifferent time of it generally.
If Honolulu will take quiet, friendly tip from US
she will in future not let her own holidays fall the
same time her friends invited to come and enjoy
theirs In other words when, excursions from the
other islands in the city every government oice
should be wide open Stores should not only be open
regular hours but should keep open evenings. The
Stock Exchange in place of declaring holiday, should
hold double sessions. In short, the whole idea and
scheme should be reversed exactly from what now
Honolulu with her buildings and windows decorated
and her stores and offices and government buildings
wide open looks good to the visitor from the outer
islands. Closed up, and left to the dust and police
and chauffeurs it makes one quickly and awfully
homesick. r. FIJI. II = f..

The idea of closing was not only to allow local EN-
