kO1IGs CfEhy
This idea occurred to us once while we
we're at circus.
Out came six or seven big elephants
and we thought at first. while they
were waltzing around in the ring, that
they were doing it of their own free will.
Eventually, however they all stood
back in a line and we noticed, prancing
along in front Of them, little man in a
blue uniform with red cuffs and red
collar.
The little man stopped in front OF one
OF the elephants. waved his arm around,
displaying a stick with sharp point on
: the end of it, and out stepped one of the
big brutes for an individual stunt.
II the little man snapped his finger the
big elephant would sit down OF lie down
and do all the things he was directed to
do, and II the elephant hesitated for an
instant the little man would jab him with
the hook in the end of the stick.
We said to ourselves: "lf that brute
should come to sudden understanding
Of his strength, we would pity that little
man."
We thought of how easy it would be for
the elephant to pick the little man up
with its trunk and toss him through the
top of the tent
And we said to ourselves, further:
How like is the case of the common
( people. If they only realized their
strength. how easily lot of things with
which they are dissatisfied. could be ad-
justed to their complete satisfaction
We have an exact case in point in Lans-
Ing 1t the present time
The people went to the polls last No
vember and voted the state dry.
They had reason to believe that the &C
lion Of their legislature, based upon the
majority they piled up for prohibition.
would be just formality.
But their legislature met and they
found mysterious influence at work at
tsmpting 10 convince it that while the
people thought they were voting for one
thing. they were really voting for some
thing else--not for dry state, at all, but
sort of compromise proposition between
vet and dry, on the order of half jag.
Then there arose in the legislature one
n it's members. Macarthur by name. TO
express it as his opinion that spade is
spade when it is a spade, no matter
what it is called, and TO introduce bill
based upon his conviction that when the
people of Michigan voted for dry state
they meant dry state.
This legislator. undoubtedly, felt quite
alone at the time Of introducing his bone
dry bill.
Then suddenly he began to feel that
he was not alone at all.
He sensed some great but unseen force
back Of him, supporting him, urging him
on.
So he has now prepared a second bill
dryer bill than the first one.
He feels called upon to get behind bill
that is as dry as bill possibly can be.
He feels called upon TO rout entirely
smother bill that has been introduced in
the Legislature and which is termed
~one-drunk-a-month" measure.
He is positive that he has the support
Of rs per cent of the legislature.
We do not doubt it.
The legislators have been hearing from
home.
The force Of popular will is being felt.
The people have sensed their strength
and refuse to be led around by a little
man with sharp, pointed hook.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, July 10.
As no game was scheduled for
Schofield athletic park in the Oahu
Service League on Sunday, the host
of baseball fans at the post had an OPP
portunity to size up the various COM
pany teams of the regiments station
ed here. There were baseball games
galore, every diamond was in action,
as were numerous improvised playing
fields laid out on the big parade and
drill grounds. AS a matter of fact
the baseball bug has certainly deep
hold on the troops stationed at Seho-
field, as was evidenced by the numer-
+ Gus games, In swing the weekend. 1t
seemed that when one outfit vacated a
diamond another set was ready to
commence hostilities. Among the nu-
merous clashes were battles between
Company H, 32nd Infantry, and Troop
l, 4th Cavalry, the doughboys defeat
ing the troopers by one-sided score
of L. to 4. auckland twirled his team
to victory. Company n, 32nd Infan-
try, also defeated Company A by a
terrible one-sided score Saturday aft
ernoon, the final count being 26, to 2,
Farmer, the elongated hurler of the
infantrymen, was in the box for Com
pany H, and toyed with his oppon-
ents. Another interesting game was
the tilt between Companies G and K,
32nd Infantry, Company K defeating
Company G by 8 to 4 count.
The buglers of the Baby Regiment
have organized team and played two
games over the weekend. They en-
gagged Company G Sunday morning
and were defeated by s to count
Sunday afternoon the same crew and
the windjammers of the 25th Infantry
connected, the horn-blowers of the
25th upholding the traditions of the
Wreckers by winning q 10 to count
after a close and exciting battle. Spec
tators of the affair opine that as base
ball players the buglers are good
windjammers.
A meeting was held the latter part
Of last week to arrange for a. schedule
and regulations governing the COM
pany series of the 32nd Infantry,
which, it is expected, will commence
as soon as the 32nd Infantry returns
from tour Of guard duty in Homo
lulu. From some Of the preseason
games it would appear that Compa.
MES G, H, K and NJ will place es-
pecially strong mines in the field and
some close games are anticipated by
the members of the Baby Regiment.

There isn't going to be any Ian

Service League" said J. e. Higgins
manager Of the league, today, In dis
cussing the baseball situation. The
fans of Honolulu have surely turned
out I'm numbers to witness the base
bali games at Moiliili Field, and the
league wishes 20 take the opportunity
70 thank the fans for their patronage.
when the league was first formed
the crowds numbered about 400 PEG
pie. As the season progressed the
crowd increased and the last few
games have been Witnessed by large
crpwds. More than 1000 people have
been in attendance at each game dur
ing tho past month.
Fans First considered
'Inasmuch as the present baseball
situation has been discussed In various
ways, the league feels that the aims
OF the organization should be placed
before the fans. In the beginning the
league decided that first consideration
should be given the fans who come TO
the games. Bleacher seats were placed

baseball, and when this plan was iRno.

Successful. 1t has proved to be big
success.
Furthermore the double umpire
system was inaugurated and programs
were furnished the spectators free OF
charge. This is the first time In local
baseball that programs with the lineup
printed have been given 70 the fans.
The field was placed In excellent con-
6ition for play, and is now the best
diamond IN the islands.
Treat the fan fair and baseball win
te q success was the slogan adopted
~ the league, and the large attend
nnce has borne out this fact. The fan
was given first consideration, and then
the player. There Is not one player
N the Oahu-SerTice League who viii
say that he has not been given the
best OF treatment. When league can
show this, following the first half
y6ar Of baseball, II means something
for the suctess Of baseball here.

able leader. When Senator Charles
Chillingworth. was asked to take the
presidency, he said that the league
must work 10 bring back the fans who
have been away from the games. He
accepted the position on the condition
HAT baseball would be carried out In
clean manner for the best interests
Of the fans and the players. The
league has been success under his
|ondership, and the managers and
players appreciate the great amount OF
time he has given to place baseball on
d strong foundation.
AS an instance Of the manner in
which the league has shown coopera-
ton, II might be said that the Oahu
Service and Pacific league have been
rIaying at Moiliili Field since May s,
and during that time there has not
been one instance Of discord. Presi.

The same standard Of baseball will
be continued throughout the season
and the same policies inaugurated
will be In order. It has been unfor,
tunate that the baseball controversy
has come at this time, but despite the
efforts to disrupt the league it viii
continue along in the same manner,
and we are sure that the fans will be
with us as usual, he concluded.
Giants vs. Engineers
On Sunday afternoon the Ruger
Giants will meet Lieut.. Britton's En-
gineers. The Engineers have secured
q number of recruits from the main.

West Point team, is confident that his
charges will down the Rugerites. Nc.

The All.Stars and 25th Infantry will
meet at Schofield on Sunday after
noon. This game is expected to be a
real thriller, and large number OF
fans will make the trip to the post. In
the last game the attendance at the
post was 2400, and the winning team
drew down nearly 800 for their share.
Both Captain Wyman and Lieut.. Carr
believe that this game will draw one
Of the largest crowds of the season.

bats. In the game on Sunday at Eva
the Ewaites downed the Waipahu
team by a score of II TO ., NJ, rnom-

of five iaunts to the plate.
Ornellas was on the mound for the

six hits. Errors were plentiful but
the large crowd forgot this as IL was
a free hitting game. P. Cordero
