TRAGEDY
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
 Copyright. 1921. by Frank CransJ

Modern life is engaged in a tremendous effort to Hook pleasant" Literature of the day is inundated with streams of advice urging all to cheerup Those philosophers the fashion who tell us that nothing matters much so long as we chew our food well ana don't worry. And the most successful of presentday propagandsts they who reveal to that there is no hell no devil, wrong, dark, and no pain Mean while hearts continue to break, homes to be ship wrecked mouths to be full of the ashes of for tunes to be lost quarres to develop, and children to have the grpes.
 The great fact, eternal the race, is tragedy Nt for nothing the great creative minds from Aeschylus to Shakespeare hold up to the polished mirror of their verse and show us often the divine human face stone smten with Medusa look and snake haired with horrors.
 And the secret of triumph lies in knowing how to ad
 just ones self to the fact of All sorts of curealls have been hawked down the streets of time.
 One cult says of laugh at it. another infict such penitental torments yourself that you outdo it; an other face stody another deny it. notwithstanding the facts another join institution which will insure you agains it. if not in this world in the next and But the wise of all ages have discerned the healing truth about it, which is that all real trouble we'll all real peace is from ones heart and in ones own inner court is the real arena of triumph or of defeat.
 There is not single tragedy in history, Maeterlink points out in his Wsdom and Destiny where fatality really reigns. External fatalities there do to be, such sickness accident the deeds of the wicked and the death of them love; but such thing inter- nal fatality does not exist The hero always riumphs, at least in that forum where alone triumph defeat has any meaning-thati is, within his own heart.
 Success and failure in life, then are in no sense de- pendent upon anything but myself and neither they in any least degree the sport of chance they come by laws in their operation the laws that the sun.

cATcHERs HAVE TO DO SOME GUESSING TH
By RING w. LARDNER

"We are good eighth" he says, sand we are proud of it. A club that is out in front in this race hasn't got nothing to. brag about as you can't see how thew can help it. But when you look at the clubs in this league, you will half to own up that it takes genius to be worse than the other [, and believe me we got genius"
 Listen" he says. why don't you come out and set on our bench some day and get an education? They's 2 of the new boys that was overseas together in the war and after they got back to, America they didn't see each other till this spring when they both joined our club. So one of them asked the other where he played last se ason and he says he didn't play only couple months He says he was laid up with a long -sledge of sickness.
 Then one day one of the boys was talking about a pitcher on another club and we hadn't seen this pitcher yet. but this boy had been in the same league with him last season. So we asked this boy what this here pitcher had and he says he has got a great curve ball that ain't fast or it ain't slow. it's just mediokum-
 'Listen,r says my friend. they use to say that Connie Mack had intri- cate signs that it took smart ball players to learn them. We'll, you ought to try and learn the signs we are useing. For inst, say the other club has got men on second and third base and it's a close game and their best hitter is up and we don't want to take chance on him.
 Well. Bill sets there on the bench and yells at the pitcher and finely the pitcher looks and Bill holds up four fingers. This means he wants the pitcher to give the man four balls. Then Bill points to first base. That is to show the pitcher that 1t is first base and not third base that he wants the man passed to. Then the pitcher in the groove and the star batter knocks it cock eyed and we lose the ball game and Bill asks the pitcher
 what was the matter and the pitcher
 is libel to say he thought Bill only held up three fingers, meaning to try and strike the guy out
 Listen" says my friend. 'yod think Schalk and Killifer and them babies is brainy catchers end they 1 are suppose to outguess the batter | and etc. Well. out catchers has to outguess the pitchers. too. Like for | inst take Schalk. If he signs for a

T.xino the Roosevelt Dam

The Gila county taxing authorities have wasted some good paper by making the Roosevelt dam an item of the duplicate assessment roll. We cannot complain that the assessment is unreasonable, $2ooo.ooo. The dam really is worth much more than that. We might take offense at the paltry figures which the county board of equalization has agreed upon it's value. We do not suppose though that that was done with an belittle the Salt River project
 But the dam Is yet.the property ot Uncle Sam who with greater canniness than he generally mani- fests business matters has held to the title to the dam and disposition surrender til 1t has been paid for.
 That will long time in the future der the contract between the water users and the government, say nothing of the extensions of pay ments which may be granted from time to time.
 When the last penny has been paid and the title has been passed. the time will have come for Gila county to institute test to the taxabty of thAt valuable property. We suppose that question would he settled then only after stubborn litigation in which the courts would find paucity of precedents to guide them.
 Gila county desires to tax the dam, not only because it lies within the county boundaries, but because it has displaced a considerable acreage of farm land which, but for the dam, would be per rnanent source of to the county. We believe that all the submerged land in private ownershp was paid for by the government and the amount charged against the water users under the project t,,t that amount considerably short of $20oo000 and it is not easy believe that that land and all the other submerged acreage that might have been developed would have approached even remotely such a
 rha, bowever has nothing do with the ques .;on of the right of Ga county to tax any private ronertv found within its boundaries And the dam will be private property when it shall be released in the Water Users Association
 But that is perhaps, only one of many questions that will arise.

To the editor:
 I got a letter the other day asking why didn't I write about baseball no more as 1 usen't to write about noth- ing else, you might say Well friends. I may as well admit that I have kind of lose interest in the old game. or rather it ain't the old game which I have lose interest in it, but it is the game which the magnates has fixed up to please the public with their usual good judgement.
 A couple yrs. ago a ball player named Baby Ruth that was a pitcher by birth was made into an outfielder on acct. of how he could bust them and he begin breaking records for long distants hits and etc. and he be- come big drawing card and the master minds that controls baseball says to themselfs that if it is home runs that the public wants to see. why leave us give them home runs. so they fixed up a ball that if you don't miss it entirely it will clear the fence and the result is that ball play CTS which use to specialize in hump back liners to the pitcher is now amongst our leading sluggers when by rights they coldn't take ball in their hands and knock it past the base umpire.
 Another result IS that stay nome ana read a book.
 But statistics shows that about people out of every 100 is F cuckoo so they's still some that is still in- terested in the national pastime so for their benefit I will write little about it so long as I don't half to set through a game of it to get the ma terial
 We'll, I was in certain town a little vile agon and run aerost g friend of mine that is big league ball player which I won't say which club he is on. but he made the re- mark that now adays when his club comes to the Polo Grounds in N. Y. he don't never see me setting in the press coop no more, and I says I was working pretty hard and he says:
 You would be surprised the num- ber of people that is too busy tc come and watch us play ball"
 So I said it wasn't only his, clut that I didn't have no time for but il was all the clubs and I couldn't ge- steamed up over them no more and maybe it was because I was getting old
 We'll he says, 'tthey's a lot O others getting old, too, and if they keep on ageing like they have so fal this season. why pretty soon we will be haveing secret practice at 3: F. NJ"
 Well. I finely got up nerve to asl him where his club stood in the race

 "A little uncertainty like that is what keeps us from going to sleep out there, as they's never no uncer- tainty in regards to who is going to win the game.
 But we have other excitement. like for inst. they's a big thrill every time we are in the field and some body on the other club hits fly ball. We know or of the boys is going to have a collision but we don't know which ones or whether they are going to get hurt or killed. So far they ain't none of them been killed, but the season aint only about F over and this is no time to give up hope-

 week earlier MT. Dempsey crossed the tinent after engagement recently completed Trenton. New Jersey, when Governor Edwards and his official staff yielded tribute to him. That gagement almost depopulated congress for the time being. and slowed down the wheels of government. Among those attracted to the festivities at Trenton at least high government official carried by the national spirit that in the of the proceedings in which MT. Dempsey belaboring distinguished guest M. Carpenter. he arose in his and adjured his countryman to give him he'll" And he did.
 MT. Dempsey's subsequent movement tri- umphal No presidential journey across the country evoked such enthusiasm and such crowds. though such goings we'll advertised. MT. Dempsey, the contrary, moved unobtrusvey possible to the attentions which his proud countrymen desired to bestow upon him.
 We have from time to time animadverted against prize fighting. but feel that not in accord with American sentiment in this respect-a sentiment which overwhems submerges and sweeps away the laws which have been enacted against the pas time. We must. therefore, bow to preponderating sentiment which should be the basis of all laws if they are be enforced.
 Now. we want to see the best win We demand determination of the establishment of the superiority of of the two American idols, MT. Johnson and MT. Dempsey. We understand that the latter has declined in advance meeting with the former on account of some difference in the color of their skins, a difference his favor which he believes confers some special distinction over MT. Johnson. MT Dempsey does not make the declinaton in behalf of himself but behalf of the American people who. in his opinion would regret to see him demean himself by engaging in controversy with MT. Johnson
 We think MT. Dempsey msinterprets the mani Nstation of regard for himself We feel that even the warmest admirers of MT. Dempsey do not fighting. Even those who assert the superiority of the white race the colored race agree that when two men get together in eighteen or twenty enclosure called ring is just as good the other, regardless of color.
 John L. Sullivan, the squarest and most fearless of prize-fghters, refused to fight any negro. At that time there none of his class to fight. that no suspicion of fear attached to him, and his attitude, though regarded crochet, lost him nothing of respect
 The case of MT. Dempsey is quite different. MT. Johnson Is a formidable figure in the prize ring It is generally conceded that he was if he is not yet. the foremost all heavyweight prize lighters And if Dempsey persists in his refusal to meet him, it will aprAar that, though he is white broad streak of yellow spells the effect
 Two heavyweight champions as abhorrent to the American people vacuum is to nature. There must be only one and should like to know whether he will be Mir Dempsey MT. Johnson.

Among the new devices being de- veloped by war experts in France, is a shell propelled by a series of ex- plosives after it is sent into the air from the mortar. These explosives are timed so that the shell continues it's flight many times farther than the ordinary gun would drive 1t. It is believed that this device will be so developed that a shell can be driven 100 miles before it reaches the limit of its flight, and even carry with it all of it's original elements of de- struction when it is exploded within the lines of the enemy.

AAcciAAAs q aAJ 1os 1s-A- Editor Republican:
 Doubtless President Harding has reason for his uses of words critf- cised by the purists. In my opinion. in his use of 'normalcy" rather than normalty, the president is right. and his critics are wrong. for the simple and fundamental reason that nor malty would not suggest the virile idea which he wished to put into the minds of the people. Words are tools. Even if ornamental, their office is to awaken thought and inspire senti- ment. Normality implies monaco tion, placidity. These could never cure, within the time which was of the essence of the situation, the con- dition which confronted us. Aggres- sive action, a general willingness to accept loses of paper profits. a high degree of fortitude, were essential to a cure. No one will dispute that Mir Harding's use of 'normalcy" effec- tually impressed this idea upon the country. Can any one suggest another word which would have had the same effect?
