been productive of a sufficient num-
Der of performances to pick a repre-

without fear of contradiction. On The
Times all-high team for the year

Eastern two. Tech the same number.
Western two. and Business one.
Few there are who will gainsay the
right of Leo Flaherty. of Eastern, for
the catcher.s position. Flaherty has
proven a heady catcher, an accurate
thrower. and has been the works of
the Eastern team. His batting aver
age of 400 speaks volumes for his
offensive ability.

side of the title games.
John Eiseman, of Tech, and Sheets
Shewalter. of the same school, are
given the second base and shortstor
positions. Eiseman Is a dangerous hit

centage in the title games and is fast
and accurate in fielding. "Toots" Wise

position. Had Peine. of Western. playet

There were forty-one votes against
Benton at the August primary in his
home town of ObeTlin, where he has
done business continuously for thirty
one years. They know him best right
there, and the vote speaks for itself.
Was he able to buy all those votes of
the business men, the church people
and the liberal element2
This campaign is a straight out is
sne between the Republican and
Democratic parties. Benton is a Re-
publican. His opponent is Demo-
crat. The little side issue should cut
no figure. Do yon want Hughes and
the Republican party at the head of
the nationf If you do, the thing to
dois to vote for Benton for Congress.
Benton represents national issue
and local affairs do not enter.
But in regard to the ''expense ac-
count" the federal law also says that
she promising of postoffice or any
position by a candidate for congress
prior to the primary and election. is
a violation of the law Do you think
for a moment that scores of postof-
fees in the Sixth district were not
promised two, four and six years ago9
Right here in Osborne county post
Offices were promised one and two
years before the time of the Republi-
can postmasters were to expire We
also wish to say that John Connolly
lived up to those promises and the
goods were delivered The same is
true of every county in the Sixth dis
trict and the democratic machine
knows it only too well.
There are two kinds of expense
account" One is the open one that
stands the light of day and is pre-
sented in plain black and white and
sworn to. the other is the star

are not consulted. Which do you

BERT WALKER SIZES UP THE
SITUATION
Candidate Who Pays His Bills in Cash
Instead of Postoffice Promises
Surprise to the Democrats

Charles Evans Hughes is going to
have a tremendous majority in Kan
sas, in the Sixth congressional dis
trict and in Osborne county. But
the Sixth district and Osborne coun-
ty does not want to stop here.
The big majority for Hughes should
be followed by similar majority for
Otis L. Benton, the Republican can
didate for congress. He should
sweep the district and receive not less
than twelve hundred majority in Os-
borne county.
Hughes in the White House can do
nothing unless he has Republican
congress to back him up. Benton
would be in Washington standing
squarely behind Hughes. He would
uphold the hands of the president at
every turn. 1t would be useless to
vote for Hughes and then turn around
and vote against his candidate for
congress
The democrats, driven to cover for
an issue, depended much on exploit
ing Benton's campaign expense state
ment. But Benton knocked the wind

lowing is an extract from it:

other newspaper man was paid is ac-

The Sixth district is big and rich
and full of assets and resources. 1t

gress on a poverty affidavit. The days
of the homespun blue shirt of Granny
Baker and the celluloid collar and

Sixth district wants a man at Wash

The whole Sixth districts are rid

resentatires in congress to ride In am
to maintain the dignity of his posi-
tion. There are thousands of farm
ers in the Sixth district who would
do the position justice and they insist
that their representative here be as
good as they are and keep up the
same appearance.

has made success of his undertak-
ings. If he goes to Washington he will

Why We're Glad

Tacoma isn't putting airs nor pulling off any
better thanthou highbrow stuff when it warmly
congratulates itself having its guests Wednes-
day night the Boston Grand Opera company, with
Anna Pavowa and the Imperial Russian Ballet.
It's a big thing for our city. We can't have too
many guests of this kind to entertain and inspire
us with the finished work of the worlds greatest
master artists.
1t has too often been the habit Of some of us to link
the word art with the smell Of weak tea and the
sobberings of society do-nothings. The whole trou-
BILE is that it has been confused with the sham and
.bubblings'of the woud-be's.
True are is simpler and easier to appreciate than
the cheapest movies, although some of the exalted
ones who sit behind opera glasses in the boxes
wouldn't have you think so for the world.
1t is the everyday man, who lives in closest touch
with everyday things, whose heart is first stirred by
'Puccini or a Pavlowa.
1t is up to the people of Tacoma to give the Boston
Grand Opera company such reception that
such big productions will come here often and at
prices which will give all lovers of good things a
chance to enjoy them.

the old crowd had gone.
II think so. Aren't you glad
IL Mary can find happiness any
where that she will take 1t? Why
do you resent it? She was a good
wife to Jack"
Yes, | suppose So" said Dick
with a sigh. II guess it rather
overturns my theories that a
woman should never marry a sec
ond time"
laughed. "But your mother
has married again"
"Margie, you don't for one
moment think mother and old
man Trent are in love with each
other. They only wanted the
calm companionship of old age"
"Oh. did they. Well my dear
Dick, listen to this" l read him
the letter Mollie wrote me. When
| reached the part where she told
about seeing Mr.. Trent kiss her
mother and both of them blush
ing, Dick muttered, 81 should
hope they would, why will old
people make such fools of them
selves"
Are they fools, Dick?' | asked.
Dick looked at me in surprise.
What do you mean?' he
asked.
Wouldn't you like to live it
all over again?"
1--WE are not old and beside |
am living it," lied Dick glibly.
"Oh no, you are not. What
you are living now is very def
ferent from the terrible emotion
al earthquake that upheaved in
your life when we first met.
IL don't believe we would be
human IL We both sometimes did
not wish it back again. We all
say love is eternal but 1t rarely
lasts, with its mingled ecstasies
and anguish, more than a year or
two. Then you men go seek -
| the divine thrill again, but dSep
back in your mind you have bound
up with your mans egotism the
idea that having known you and
loved you no woman could again
feel the tender passion for any
other man.
This, my dear Dick, is another
of the man-made ideas of woman.
won't you ever realize that
while woman's love is less
no reason why she should not,
transient than mans, yet there is
and does not, love more than
once. Don't you remember what
George Eliot says?'
Never read any of her high
brow stuff" answered Dick.
This is not 'highbrow' Dick,
she asks, why is 1t poets have
said so much about our first love
and so little about our later
loves?"
George Eliot was one of the
first women to be honest with her
readers and herself on the sub
iect of loving"
Its rot, Margie, and IL you
were not tied down in bed I'd be
wondering who was making love
to YOU"
Dick, how can you be so COM
mon-so vulgar"
Eyes, that is just 1t. The COM
mon is what We must always call
