Peoria, of the Three Eye league, has
pitcher named Crabb. And, in spite of his
name, he is said to be a good twir1er.

that Frank Gotch will instruct his press
agent to stick strictly to the truth in the
future.
Sir Tom Powell opines that maybe Lat
timore got all the baseball out of the men

after all.
The fact that Boston fans cheered Iris

more of an indication that Iris is a pretty
good ball player.

go without sassin' back the next time he
is told to do so. 1t does not take many
81 900 fines to max the average ball player

Workman undoubtedly is big league ma
terial and he ought to make Tinker
valuable man. But when it comes to being
worth $22,500 his most ardent admirers
must admit that he has not yet demon
strated it, despite the fact that he has
ing missed one single inning.
No one knows when he may be called
upon to go in as u pinch hitter. But the
uncertainties of pitching are being elm
mated rapidly. A pitcher who does not
get jerked now days before the seventh
inning is indeed rare bird.

such as the Bethlehem Steel Com

the action of the Steel Company, in

JOINT DISCUSSIONS.

Time was in the Ninth when Rep
ublicans seemed not all anxious and
many times unwilling to agree to
joint political discussions with Demo-
Gratis, claiming that they (the Demo-
cratic speakers) could not get 81
crowd except furnished by Republi-
can speakers. Conditions seem to have
changed. In several counties in the
western part of the district the cam
paign has already opened with joint
discussions. The papers state that
Congressman Flood and MIR. Peters,
of Bristol, and several Republican
speakers were in Lee and Russell
counties, and other points in the dis
trict this week. Does this change of
procedure argue that Republican
chances of audiences to address arc
not quite as good as formerly, in the
Ninth? Well, Democrats can not only
furnish audiences this year, but they
can furnish all the interesting, con-
vincing proofs as well, that the peo-
pie are with them. Just what a Re-
publican speaker can hatch up these
days to interest, much less convince,

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF AU-
TOMOBILES.

The New York Times gives reliable
figures showing the increase in the
number of automobiles in this coun-
try. There are, says the Times
three million automobiles in use in
the United States, and that the fees
paid into the State treasures dur
ing the first half of 1916 were $l4,-
26l 100000. The number of cars turn
ed out from the ninety-nine factories
the first half of this year, was 754,
9O2, valued at $4sl 900, 100000. Prob
ably by the end of this year there
will have been manufactured not less
than one million and half cars.
In Iowa there is one motor car to
every thirteen inhabitants, and in Ne
braska one for every sixteen inhabi-
tants. What will be the results of the
general, widespread use of the motor
car upon the industrial, social and re-
ligious welfare of the country gen
orally, is a question for the econo-
mists and prophets. One thing-the
forecast seems to argue the finish Of
the horse.

A NEAR" DEMOCRAT.

The New York Times said that the
American people "don't like an Anti
Anything" Is it not equally true that
"near-anything" is also unaccept-
able? Particularly is this true when
n "ncar-anything" is paradcd as the
real thing. There are Democrats and
near-Democrats. There are Dcmocra-
tic and near-Democratic newspapers
sort of Jack-in-thc- box institu-
tions, now you see them and now
you don't. They wear the cloak of
Democracy and serve Republicanism
Just the opposite. A case in point:
a certain newspaper, published i'll
the leading city of the State, i'm re-
cent issue, commenting editorially
upon President Wilson's speech of
acceptance, likencd him to the Phari-
see of the Bible, and his speech to the
prayer of the Pharisce, and goes on
at some length to criticisc quite caus-
tically the entire address, all of which
the editor had right to do, but ths
would be surprised if told that the
paper in which it appeared is Demo
cratic. And this is not the first or
only time this newspaper has gone
out of its way to whack Mr.. Wilson
and his policies, and play therefore
into the hands of his enemies, and
the enemies of the Democratic party.

lack for campaign thunder" when
such rich contributions are made to
