NOT GOING TO RUN.
John F. Fitzgerald Will Not Embarass
Ex-Governor Walsh.

Boston, Aug. ll.-Former Mayor John
F. Fitzgerald announced positively to-
day that he would not be candidate
for the United States Senate.
He made this statement, he declared,
to aid former Governor Walsh in making
decision as to whether Walsh would
run.
The statement follows:
In order that former Governor Walsh
may not be embarrassed in his decision
on the question of his candidacy for
the United States Senate, ! beg to an
nounce that | am not candidate for
this position John F. Fitzgerald"
Over a month ago Fitzgerald admit
ted that he was considering running for
the Senate. but declared he would defer
his decision until he had talked with
Walsh, who was then returning from his
trip through the Orient.
Fitzgerald left the inference that ii
Walsh was going to run he (Fitzgeraldl
would not, but that if Walsh was not
going to run, he would.
1t has been assumed in political cir
ces that the statement by the former
governor, to be issued to-day or to-mor-
row. would declare he was not candi-
date for any office.
Major Walsh Surprised.
Politicians to-day are asking each 9th
er: Does this statement by Fitzgerald
mean that Walsh has decided to run and
has he told Fitzgerald sol
Major Thomas l.. Walsh, brother of The
former governor, when told to-day of the
ex mayors statement, declared:
81 am surprised by Mr.. Fitzgerald's
statement. / had no idea it was coming.
So far as | know, Mr.. Fitzgerald and the
ex governor have had no conference"
The only other candidate suggested
for the nomination is former Congress
man Joseph f. 0Connell, who two days
ago stated:
at now seems certain that | viii be a
candidate"
Former lieutenants Of Fitzgerald are
said to have been through the state
sounding the sentiment on the situation.

Cummins declares that the presidents
assumption of legislative functions is a
menace to the constitution, barrier to
government by the people.
But Senator Cummins falls short of
thunderous effect in this criticism of Will
son. President Wilson's powers over
Congress, whether exercised in the bru-
tai show Of Legree or in the hidden
craft of Svengali, are not an issue in
the campaign. The product of the VIII
son influence, not the influence itself, is
the object of attack.
As we aren't so sure, Just at this mo-
ment but that we'd trust the Wilson
lone hand further than the wandering
judgment of this amazingly Incompetent
Congress.
President Wilson, as has been re-
marked on numerous occasions, is sur
rounded by about the most sickly lot of
statesmen the country ever saw in any
one administration. They need lead

We give Mr. Wilson credit for no
great ability in being able to lead the
Democratic members of Congress, and
we charge him with no great sin in wish
ing to lead. The one bright spot in the
Wilson record in fact, is Wilson's mar
velous enactment of two or three really
good measures by means of standing over
Congress with cmb.-Boston Journal.

PICTURES IN THE HOME.
Have Them Appropriate to the Rooms
In Which They Are Hung.


Pictures add great deal TO the
beauty Of home If they are selected
with taste and care. They do not
have to be expensive to be beautiful,
many delightful reproductions of the
works of the old masters being on
sale nowadays at prices within the
reach of the most modest pocketbook.
Before putting up picture on your
wall be sure that it has some meaning
and some beauty. Also it should be
appropriate 10 the room 1t Is to adorn.
For instance. family photographs have
no place on the walls of living room.
They are too intimate a decoration for
room in which strangers as well as
friends are apt to be entertained. Re
serve family photographs for the bed
rooms or den"
Select for the living room landscapes,
reproductions of still life. ideal heads
and faces and good photographs of
masterpieces. Such pictures are not
only instructive to the family, but
they may form an interesting topic of
conversation to the friends who are
entertained in this room.
The music room of course should be
adorned with good photographs of en-
inent composers and other musicians,
while the library calls aloud for por-
traits of literary and other public men.

CLEAN HANDS.
Some Good Advice to Prevent Spread of
Germs

Disease germs lead a hand to mouth ex-
istenee. If the human race would learn
to keep the unwashed hand away from
the mouth many human diseases would
be greatly diminished. We handle infee-
tious matter more or less constantly and
we continually carry the hands to the
mouth. II the hand has recently been
in contact with infectious matter the
germs of disease may in this way be in
PRODUCED into the body. Many persons
wet their fingers with saliva before
counting money, turning the pages of a
book, or performing similar acts. In
this ease the process is reversed, the in
lection being carried to the object ham
died, there to await carriage to the
mouth of some other careless person. In
view of these facts the United States
public health service has formulated the
following simple rules of personal hy-
giene and recommends their adoption by
every person in the United States.
Wash the hands Immediately.
Before eating.
Before handling, preparing or serving
food.
After using the toilet.
After attending the sick,
After handling anything dirty.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
BASEBALL BRIEFS


One OF the oldest backstops in the bus.
mess to-day is Gibson of the Pirates, he
ha wing played with the same club since
1905. Although Callaghan has permitted
Gibson to do quite a bit of bench warm
ing this year, while Schmidt and Wilson
were earning their salaries, Gibson Is
still some distance from that of has
been. Pittsburg bought him from Mont
real in the season of 1905 and for the
first two seasons he seemed to round into
form pretty slowly, but in 1907 he played
regularly with Clark's crew and in 1909
when the Pirates won the championship
he was considered the greatest backstop
of the time. Last year Gibson caught in
100 games for the Pirates. He has played
in the big league three years longer
than Chief Meyers and four years longer
than Archer, both of whom seem like
antiques to the fans.
Bob Emslie's service as a National
league umpire has extended over 25
years. 1t is worth a pension when Bob

baseball tours of the eastern clubs The
attendance of the western cities during
this tour is probably record. All the
West thinks that there is a chance for
every team in the race with the excep-
ton of the Philadelphia Athletics.
If Plank continues his sensational
work that he has been showing in the
series with the Washington and Boston
teams, he might have a no-hit, no-rm
game up his sleeve. In two games with
the Red .Sox he held them TO two hits
and the Washington team he held to one
hit Wednesday.
After losing 20 consecutive games. the
Athletics won a game Wednesday. thus
saving them from beating the record
made by the Red Sox in 1906 when they
lost 20 games straight. This is the first
game that the Athletics have won in the
West this season and the third from
western teams.
Jake Stahl. former Red Sox manager.
was at the game in Chicago Wednesday
when the Red Hose won from the White
Hose BY a score of 3 to J in II innings.
Stahl said that this was the second
game that he had witnessed this year.

palace built by the busy hands of trio

such decorations that its glory both

No Good Substitute for

Found

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE crisis in
the news print paper situation which al

enormously will not be reached till late
newal, according to reports received
from many sources by the federal trade
commission. The presidential election,
together with the European war, is eX-

leled demand for news print, which man
ufacturers tell the trade commission they
will hardly be able meet This year for
the first time they have not been able
to lay up a large reserve during the
summer.
The trade commissions report on its
investigation of news print prices, it was
announced yesterday, would be published
not later than Oct. |, regardless of
whether Congress still is in session. Prob
ably brief extract will be given out two
weeks before hand summarizing the find
ings. As yet the mass of material has
not been sufficiently digested for officials
to indicate definitely its trend.
The great question in deciding wheth.
er there has been collusion among the
manufacturers to boost prices unduly is
said to be whether the increased de-
mand for paper has been entirely dispro-
portionate to. the increased production.
Manufacturers claim that publishers are
using 20 per cent more paper than ever
before. Consumption figures presented
to the commission, however, vary widely
