Two Teams to Battle Again
This Afternoon.

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Sept. 30
Battling for first place in the National
league pennant race, and in all Ekeli-
hood for the championship, the sturdy
men of General Patrick Moran de-
feated General Won Robinson's Brook
lyn Dodgers in the morning game here
today and went to the top by the mar
row margin of a few points.
Superior pitching of Rixey enabled
the Phillies to take an early lead
which they held thruout. Pfeffer
was ineffective at critical times and
his support also cracked considerably
when the strain was applied. The
Phils piled up two runs in the first
two innings. and from the time they
first put their scoreboard in operation
they were never in danger of being
overtaken. The last hope of the
Dodgers died in the sixth inning when
Luderus poled out a home run that
gave his team three-run lead.
The two teams wind up their sea-
sons entanglements this afternoon,
and it was conceded that if Philadel-
phia won again it would practically
cinch the pennant, as the Dodgers
have to finish against the victory

Two Of the most serious results Of

murder OF Americans and other for

man was murdered, but that was be-
cause he was mistaken for an Ameri-
can. The consequences OF recogniz-
ing Carranza are that We stand for
sponsor for him. In his confiscatory
policy the de facto President Of Mex
leo has gone the limit, as would be
expected Of any bandit. President Will

confiscation, and the penalty for pal

farmers Of this State well know. The
Democratic tariff has also deprived

belts in the country, Of profits they
could have realized under a Repuo-
lican protective tariff. The Under
wood measure removed the import

matoes. Now 1t has long been the
dream OF the fruit growers OF that
section Of the State to embark in the
canning business. so that when the
crop Is greater than the demand, the
surplus can be quickly and profitaDly
worked up into winter pack. But
as the Democratic tariff regulates
this business Italy, paying IL cents
q dav for labor in the island OF Sicily,
can put up the finest of tomatoes IN
enameled cans and undersell the most
progressive American Gamer with his
goods packed only under paper Ia

Caltanisetta, Catania, in Sicily can be
obtained 20 prove this statement
Moreover the American laws do not
permit the Gamer IN this country

toes to be used in the by-product man

FICTITIOUS PROSPERITY

One OF the fiercest ficuons put up
BY the Democrats in their campaign
of deception and deceit is the claim
that the prosperous times which sue
ceeded the depression at the begun
ming Of the Wilson administration
were due to Democratic policies. We
find this brazenly insisted upon by
specious speakers and conscience
less press. It Is done through jug
Cling Of figures and plain misrepre-
sentation Of the character Of exports
an arbitrary exclusion Of certain
goods as much needed in the conduct
of the war as the definite munitions
Of shot. shell and powder. A true
analysis, however, Of the statistics
furnished by the Department Of Com
MERGE always discloses the truth Or
the Republican contentious Of the war
promotion Of whatever prosperity we
are enjoying. Now the Census Bureau
adds its figures to corTorborate The
Republican statements.
The census figures relate to the iron
an steel industry and deal with the
number Of blast furnaces, the capt.
tai invested in the same, and the gen.
eral condition In 1914 as compared
with 1909. They show. for instance,
that the number OF blast furnaces de-
creased 22.1 per cent. or from EOS to
1862; that the capital invested de-
creased by So per cent, or from s4S7.-
$4,000 10 $462,s2s,0OO; that the to-
tai paid out for salaries and wages
decreased by To per cent, or from
s31, 132, 900 to s2S,S95,0 that the ma
terials used decreased in value by It's
per cent or from $500, 63S, 900 TO $751;
$4,000, and the value Of products by
1S.S per cent. or from 1891, 429, 900 TO
s317.654,Oo
When peace comes and removes the
artificial protective tariff which war
raised, then will come the relapse into
the same conditions exposed by the
census figures quoted. The Demo
cratic free trade measure preclpitated
the stagnation in the iron and steel
industry. The war revived it. If we

WHY SHE IS FOR HUGHES

President Wilson designated those
who came to him With eyewitness
stories Of the unspeakabls outrages
committed in Mexico as liars. He
gave credence to those interested in
these crimes, and on such testimony
based his policy of Indifference to
the fate OF American citizens in that
country. His cold and unsympathet-
&c decree was IF you don't want these
things to happen to you get out Your
government cannot be expected TO
