 Join the TraUeLers

Little Rock, June 24.--The search for that other pitcher the travellers need so badly has been ex- tended to Forrest City, Ark, where it has stopped. Forrest City may give Little Rock just the man she needs. He is one Wilbur ("Sun- shine') Thompson, young pitcher who has been standing the batters of the Eastern Arkansas League on their heads this season. One of Kid Elberfield's scouts is trying to ne- gotiate with Thompson and may have him here in a few days.
 This young phenom has been pitching some remarkable ball tnis season. His record includes three no-hit games and one one-hit game. His home is at Forrest City and he has been pitching for the Forrest City team of the fast little inde- pendent league.
 Kid Elberfield also is angling for a youngster in St. Louis, who is said to be splendid prospect. In the meantime Proxy Allen is using the wires and mails in a combination of his efforts to get a pitcher of known quality who would be cer- tain to help the Travellers.
 SCOUTS SEE THOMPSON WIN
 Forrest City, June 24.-Parkin proved easy for Forrest City here today, and the home team won 6 to o. Sunshine" Thompson pitch ed for Forrest City. In the stand sat Charles Frank, manager of the Atlanta Crackers; Mike Finn, scout for the Detroit Tigers, and Dock Hottum, also a big league scout The three were here to watch Sun shine" in action with view of signing him. Although little wild at times, Thompson frightened up in the pinches, which were few and far between. He gave but three hits and famed Is. Dunaway of the visitors, pitched nice game, allowing only five hits. Costly err TOTS made by his team mates were for several runs.

FARMERS OPENING THEIR EYES.

There is some truth in the statement
of the Sun and New York Herald that
the American farmer is beginning to see
through the financial shams and eco
1tomic fallacies which political humbug
has been dangling before his eyes and
is coming to realize that the cheap
money promised him from the federal
loan act Is becoming a dear luxury.
The difference in interest of five and
half per cent and six or seven per
cent on small farm mortgages or work
ing capital is not very great. On
mort gage of $4,000 the difference be-
tween five and a half and six per cent
is only $25 year.
If reckless government expenditures
for political effect result in excessive
taxation and boost the prices of every
thing else the farmer has to buy this
so saving on interest soon disappears
If is evident the federal farm loan has
not brought the farmer reasonable
priced necessities or labor.
News dispatches Tuesday stated
that applications for more than $4,000,
600 farm loans are held up by the suit
in court to test the validity of the loar
act This indicates the demand fol-
cheaper money but it also suggests the
necessity of the government to secure
| this immense sum from some source
i and everyone knows the only source o.
/ government revenue is taxation in some
form or another. A very expensive
government organization is also neces
sary to administer such an immens'
amount of capital that the farmer AM
the other fellow must support. 1t cost
more than the farmer saves out OF it
The Sun Herald truthfully says: "Be
cause the government s tax method
land initiation policies are forcing tn
farmer TO pay hundreds of thousand
of dollars more to keep his bushes
going than he saves on his government
interest rates. he is not crazy for NOR
government financing. Because tn
governments taxes are costing til
American people, farmers and every
body, billions of dollars year mol
than the treasury is getting out of tho:
taxes, the farmer, the mechanic, IL
butcher, the baker and the candlestic
maker are about ready to 60 back
original principles, and when they g
lback to stick there. -

for the Monroe Doctrine than il has
for the rights of the Chinese in China
or the Siberians in Siberia. 1t also ig-
nores the fact that under present con
dtions the emigration of large num-
bers of people from any part of the
earth to another part is sure TO cause
friction and throughout history has led
to open warfare to establish the su-
premacy of one or the other of the ma
tions involved. The Japanese already
settled in California and those invading
sections Of Mexico and South America
will form such a strong force that hos
tilities between Japan and the United
States are not impossible. There is one
| hopeful feature. however. Japan is also
invading China and Siberia and Great
| ing hostility to itself in each country
| invaded. So to the American hostility
sure to develop there will be added the
hostility of these two immense AsiatiC
peoples and it is improbable Japan ear
successfully resist and override the Chi
nese, the Siberians and the Americans
at the same time.

JAPANESE ENFORCEMENT.

That Japan intends to get a foot
hold on the American continent is in
dicatcd by the news from South Amer
lea that Japan and Paraguay have
reached a definite agreement relative to
japanese colonization of Paraguay The
finance minister of Paraguay is author
itv for the statement and this tends
to confirm the report that recent
treaty has been made between these
two countries which gives Japan "fa
vored nation privileges in that coun-
try. Newspapers of Argentine Repub
lie say that the japanese rapproach
ment will soon be extended TO Uruguay
Peru and Bolivia. One Buenos Ayres
paper says: "There Is no doubt there
already exists n vast plan for Jap
anose colonization of Peru and Bolivia
a plan which considering the very dis
persed native population and their rel
alive incapacity for certain kinds O.
| work, is susceptible to very rapid de
velopment. -
