 story is based on an interview with
 the remarkable leader of the Attn
 letics. It is a story which reveals
 many inside incidents and theories
 of Connie Mack, which heretofore
 have never been given to the pub

 Connie Mack quickly demonstrated as a member of the Meriden, Conn, team that he was a catcher far be- yond the average The tall youngster appeared in Hartford uniform the following season. His work behind the bat for that team during 1885 and 1886 attracted the attention of big lcag- uers and along in the midsummer of 1886 Connie Mack signed with the Washington club. which had become a member of the National league in that year.
 The salary offered was S2500 a sea- son." said Mack. That was base ball wage in those days that seemed about as sizeable to me as would a S25,000 to the average player of today. Back in my time the game hadn't Oe- come so commercialized. Most of Us played because of our love for base ball And whenever we were paid for our services we considered ourselves doubly fortunate.
 Every youngster breaking into the big league is rather nervous about it and apprehensive. I was no eXcep- tion. But I was rather lucky, inas- much as I was with a tail end club. where my earlier mistakes were not costly as far as dashing pennant hopes were concerned. And most of my team mates were veterans who were every kind to me; fellows who coached me and helped me greatly with advice and suggestions. To them do I owe much, because. if they hadn't been generous with my early faults. I might have been dropped out of the league before l had a real chance to show what l could do.
 My experience with the Washington clab through 1886, 1887. 1888 and 1889 taught me fin an unforgettable way the golden rule of do unto others as you would have them do to you I know what the patience of such men as IT, win. Keefe. O'Day. Start, Wise and others did for me when I was break

REPUBLICAN ASSERTS WILSON ENTITLED TO
 RESPECT OF NATION

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 21.-- Bolshevikism in this country is en- cOuraged by a "flippant attitude toward law and those placed in au- thority, according to Judge John M Patterson, of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, in an address here recently.
 "The Bolshevik movement has found root here because thoughtless remarks are made about the men we have selected or appointed to public offices. If these people don't like the President of the United States, or if they cannot show him the re- spect to which his position entities him, let them move on," continued Judge Patterson.
 Although I am Republican" said the Judge, "I heartily approve of many of the things which Presi- dent Wilson is trying to do for the country. He was elected by the sovereign people and should be sup ported by all loyal Americans during his term of office. Of course, we have a right to discuss matters ef- fecting our welfare, but that does not mean that we should attack those who differ with us."

PERILS OF PROFESSIONAL POLITICS.

Again national danger is imminent because of professional politics, and by this is not meant partisanship, but rather the ignorant product of pride of person. Simply to be known popular lead interpreters of situations, the office holding class past present and prospective is playing with the grim potentiaties created by the great and the agonized appeals of humanity everywhere for pro- lection against mad militarism.
 More than half century their forerunners in like fashion toyed with fate clumsily drew the nation almost to the brink of destruction. In his increasing nd expert ~evew e nose surcharged days Henry Watteison says
 "The men who, between 1850 and 1s61 might have were either side professional politicians with here and there an unseish far-seeing patriotic man whose tdmonltions were not heHied by the people ranging opposing sides of party lines''

ANSWER AND A SOURCE THAT SPEAK FOR

The following editorial, written by a Hydab Indian editor, set into type by Hydaburg Inc printer printed by a Hydaburg Indian pressman a paper edited by Hydaburg Indian writer's publls by Hydaburg Indian publishers and owned by HJ turg Indians, is self explanatory and, consider the circumstances here mentioned is conclusive of subject discussed
 The New Native received a copy of Wick ersham's speech in the recent election con test On page 20 we find the judicial CD pro nuncamento:
 s"Those who live on the Hyda and Klawock Indian Reservations not entitled to vote under the act of Congress because they have not taken up their residence separate and apart from the tribe and adopted the habits of civilized life.'
 All of which is much fabricated bunk The natives in question:, have long deserted the places where tribal customs prevailed The three most important Indian villages: Metlakata, Hydaburg and Klawock are all organized in accordance with the home rule laws of territory
 The Hydah people left their old homes seven years ago and organized a town in order to shake the last vestige of tribal pro- cedure and to embrace without reservation all the desirable habits of white men and their institutions.
 The present generation of natives mas fought for years in their old habitues against the backward pull and dominating weight or seniority that characterized the leadership In tribal life. Those old timers are now almost extinct. In their place has come new for- ward-looking and receptive mind, and prin- eiples of social justice.
