THE EDITORS RECORD

The editor died and went to hea-
ven,
But stood outside the gate
Because he hadn't the nerve ia
knock,
And thought that he would
wait
Till some other mortals came
along;
He'd then see what they'd do,
And if they entered the pearlv
gate
He thought he might SLID
through;
He watched the vast procession
pass
Up to the portals wide,
While Peter told them they were
UP too high,
And Others he took inside.
The editor, weary of waiting So
HSS
Finally got in line
To see if Peter would accept him
then
Or would with thanks" decline
He heard the sweet-voiced angels
sing,
His eyes filled to the brim;
he shivered and shook in agony,
knowing his chances slim.
"Aha~ said Peter. can editor
here"
Gle laughed with pure delight)
Why, certainly you may come
right in,
For all you did was write

WILDER AND ERRORS
LOSE REMNANT FOR US
Wilder S Wonderful Pitching
and Six Fitzgerald Errors
Put Fitzgerald Out
of the Race

Fitzgerald lost Tuesdays game,
the last Dawson series in Fitzger-
aid and the Big Four pennant all
at one shot. 'Wilder was right. -
But so was Pickett and had Fitz-
gerald played absolutely air tight
baseball, we might still have a
shot at the rag. Both of Dawson
runs were scored on inexcusable
errors.
Pickett gave CHM a base on
balls. Wilkes tried to bunt but
Hanson caught him in the act.
Thrasher grounded to Norris,
Norris made perfect peg to
third base but Bowman, the won
derful Dixie league star, fumbled.
Ihrasher l.. grounded to Bow
man who threw him out at first,
allowing CHM to score. Moore
was famed. NO HITS, one run.
Norris popped out, Cochran fan
ned. Bowman popped out.
In the second inning, Hender-
son struck out. Rhodes was safe
when Hates fumbled a perfect
peg. Gilmore received a base on
balls. Wilder grounded out tc
Tim to Hates, and Rhodes took
third CHM hit all easy one to
Bowman who booted the ball al
lowing the second run. Wilkes
was out, second to first. NO
HITS, one run. Barnett ground
ed out, Ike Thrasher to Hender-
son. Rates hit short fly to left
field which Rhodes nabbed with
feature sprint. Mize hit clean
tWo-bagger to right field but
made it a home run when the ball
was lost in the grass. Mize again
saved Fitzgerald from a shut out
game. Zimmerman popped out
to Wilder.
Barnett made a feature catch OF
Wilkes long foul. Zimmerman
was the big part of double play
Rhodes and Gilmore were out
Zimmerman tagging Rhodes be-
tween second and third, pegging
to Hanson and getting Gilmore
in a tight" and Bowman tagging
the runner at third. Rhodes
felded Norris hot grounder in
fine style in the third Wilder
struck out ten men and made two
hits, one a beat-out bunt. He also
stole two bases.

acter OF Dickens. Gradgrind. T. is
nothing short OF the most offensive
kind OF impudeuca that he maintains
that the large contributions made 10
the Wilson fund were "actuatcd by
the highest motives Of patriotism"
leaving the Inference thai those VINO
contributed 10 the cause OF the Re-
publican candidate were prompted by
base motives.
The Republicans did spend more
money than the Democrats, but they
spent it openly in a country wide ad-
vertising plan that was extremely
costly. Dollar for dollar We venture
20 say that the Republican fund was
much more honestly diSburscd than
that Of the Democrats. We nad
marked evidence OF that in this Stale.

have carried A single State in the
