TIME Red sox proved last season that
i fine pitching plus strong fielding de
fense were enough to beat out rugged at
tack, even one that was led by Cobb, Craw'
ford and veach, all tearing the cover of
the ball Bill Donovans Yankees are Of
fering about the same proof this season.
They are not leading the league on attack
by several notches, but they are getting the
best pitching in the game, and back OF
this superb pitching both infeld and out
field are helping to roll back any rival
attack.
At the start of the season the Yankees,
via the dope, were awarded fourth place,
well back of the Tigers White Sox and
Red Sox Today they are the most feared
and the most formidable club in the league,
despite harder luck than any other club has
faced. And n club that can stand UP under
such adverse fortune isn't very likely to
break later on when the harder test comes
on the next Western trip.

Dillon, having outpointed Moran so dc

two next in line and those are the ones
who start the elimination scrimmage.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-30

Business is all right long as it is not sordid, and it cannot be sordid if it is shot through with ideals. A man, no matter how humble his busi- ness, can hold his head up among the princes of the world if, as he ought to do, he will think of himself as the servant of the people and not as the master, as one who would serve and not one who would govern.
 'fI congratulate you, my fellow citi- zens, upon the ideals of a profession which can lower or exa1t business, as you choose, and which you have chosen to. employ for it's exaItation. I came away from Washington to look into your faces and get some of the enthusiasm which I always get when I come away from off1cia1dona and touch hand to hand with great bodies of the free American people,
 Snatching a few hours from the af- fairs which have kept him busy in the White House, the President made a flying trip here, accompanied by his wife. He received a tremendous ova- ton from the thousands who lined the streets along which he passed, who thronged the historic squares and who packed the station. When he ap- peared in Independence Square, a great shout of welcome went up. Hats were tossed mp, the air was white with handkerchiefs, shouts of greeting echoed and re-echoed.
 He showed keen appreciation of the heartiness of his welcome, and his wife manifested her qualification, too. The President cool in a Palm Beach suit, continually lifted his hat to the salutes of the crowds, and scarcely once as he was passing through the streets did a, smile leave his face.
 In front of the old State House a double row of marines in their uni forms stood at attention. As he en- tered the State House the Liberty Bell confronted him. He doffed his hat, and in company with Mayor Smith and President Houston of the Associated Advertising Clubs, who greeted him at Broad street station, he passed through the hall to the grand stand.
 His appearance was the signal for a, fresh burst of applause, and for sev- eral minutes the cheering drowned the band. When the applause died President Houston called upon the audience to sing the first two verses of America President Wilson and

Then, in the third place, touching ourseves more intimately, my fellow citizens, this is what I believe. If I understand the life of America, the central principle of it is this, that no small body of persons, no matter how influential, shall be trusted to deter mine the policy and development of America.
 You know what you want in your business. You want a fair field and no favor. You want to be given the same opportunity that other men have, not only to make known what you have to sell, but to sell it under as favorable conditions as anybody else; and the principle of the life Of America is that she draws her vital ity, not from small bodies of men who may wish to assume the responsibility of guiding and controlling her, but from the great body of thinking and toiling and planning men from whom she draws her energy and vitality as a nation.
 He Has Little List
 ''I be1ieve-and this is the reason I am a Democrat, not merely with a big D but with little d; I am all kinds of a Democrat, so far as I can dis cover-but the root of the whole bus mess is this that I believe in the patriotism and energy and initiative of the average man. Some men say they believe in it, but when they act they show that they do not. They show that they think the only advice that 1t is safe to take is their advice.
 ''I was not referring to any indi- vidual, but I could give you an in teresting and a very short lists of a group of individuals who have that opinion, namely, that it is not safe for the United States to escape from their control I feel perfectly safe in the hands of the average body of my fellow citizens. You are bound to feel safe in their hands.
 eff they do not believe in you, you cannot sell anything; if they do not believe in you, you cannot conduct your business. Your vitality comes from them. The theory of govern ment which decline to subscribe to is that the vitality of the Nation comes out of the c1oseted councils where a few men determine the policy of the country.

GOVERNMENT HUNTERS KILL
 32,OOO COYOTES IN GREAT
 CAMPAIGN AGAINST RABIES
Months Drive Counties 143 Make Advances That May Soon Result In Control of Diseas@ Prevalent Among Animals and Spreading to Humans.

Reno, Nevada, June 30.-That the combined efforts of the Nevade rabies
 commission and the United States bu- reau of biological survey in carrying on the rabies eradication campaign in Nevada is producing results is indi- cated in the report of the biological survey, which was submitted to the rabies commission at a meeting in Winnemucca yesterday. The report was compiled by E. R. Piper, assist
 ant biologist, and B. R. Sans, preda-
 tory animal inspector, and embraces eevry phase of the situation.
 According to the report there have been 2,200 coyote scalps> and skins
 turned in by the hunters at Winne-
 mucca. This number represents about 10 per cent. of the number poisoned as the hunters have been instructed not to look for the dead coyotes as it takes too much of their time, and ac- coyotes by the hundreds can be found
 in all parts of the state where the hunters are working
 There are now 143 hunters employed in the work distributed as, follows: ;Washoe county, 20; Humboldt county,
 33; Elko county, 34; White Pine coun- ty, IA; Eureka county, 12; Lander county, 10; Churchill county, nine;
 Nye county, five; Lincoln county.

every American in everything that he does, in his business and out of it, to think first, not of himself or of any interest which he may be called upon to sacrifice but of the country which we serve.
 America f1rst'' means nothing un- til you translate it in what you do So l believe most profoundly in the duty of every American to exalt the national consciousness by purifying g his own motives and. exhibiting his own devotion.
 In the second place, that America. the country that we put first in our thoughts, should be ready in every point of policy and of action to vim dicate at whatever cost the principles of liberty, of justice and of hum anity to which we have been devoted from the first.
 "You cheer the sentiment, but do you realize what it means? It means that you have not only got to be just to your fellow men, but that as a nation you have got to be just >to other nations. It comes high. It is not an easy thing to do. It is easy to think first of the material interest of America, but it is not easy to think first of what America, if she loves justice, ought to do in the field of in ternational affairs.
 'EI Am Ready to Fight
 TT believe that, at whatever cost, America should be just to other peo- p1es and treat other peoples as she demands that they should treat her. She has right to demand that they treat her with justice and respect, and she has a right to insist that they treat her in that fashion, but she can not with dignity or with self-respect insist upon that unless she is willing to act in the same fashion toward them. Fhat-I am ready to fight for at any cost to myself.

am perfectly willing to expose to the public view, and because 1 want to express my sympathy with, not only, but my admiration for a body of men who think it is worth while to get together in order to tell the truth.
 ''rhe only thing that ever set any man free, the only thing that ever set any nation free, is the truth. A man that is afraid of the truth is afraid of the law of life. A man who does not love the truth is in the way of decay and of failure, and I be- lieve that if you will just let the vital ity that is in you and the enthusiasm that is in you run beyond the con- fines ow the Businesses that you may be interested in, you will presently feel that infinite reward, as if the red blood of a whole nation came surging back into your own veins-
 Gan you imagine my fellow coun- trymen, a more inspiring thing than to belong to a, free nation and make whom has the right and the oppor- tunity to say what he thinks? Criti- elm does not hurt anybody.
 Cites a Politicians Advice.
 s"I heard an old politician once say to his son: John, don't bother your head about lies and islanders; they will take care of themselves But if you ever hear me denying anything, you may make up your mind that it is so.' And when you see a man wincing under criticism, you may know that som ething hit him that was so. And therefore when they are saying the things that Sare not true, there is no credit in keeping your head and not minding it.
 "I have such an inveterate conf dence in the ultimate triumph of the truth that I feel, with old Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, that the truth is no invalid and you need not mind how roughly you handle her. She has got 8. splendid constitution and she will survive every trial and every la Dor.

The commission still has an approprd- ation of $25,000 from the state at it's command besides the one and one half cent tax from each county and the balance of the fund furnished by the sheep and cattlemen.
 At the present tirne," said J. A. C1emmons, a member Of the cox1rats- sion, the work of the hunters Is not as productive as it will be from Au- gust on.

 '+The government hunters are doing effective work at comparatively small cost, and believe that the spread of the rabies is checked to such a large exte4-t that it will be wiped out in a. few more months. The government men complain about the manner in which many of the cities, and counties co-operated with them in regard to forcing dog owners to keep their dogs Cenned up or nuzzEed.
 Besides hunting coyotes the hunt CTS are also engaged Tn hunting bear. mountain lions and wild cats Several days ago a bear came down into Star valley in Elko county and killed four cows The government hunters were notified and set out in search of the animal.
