DOwNHEARTED CONGREssMEN.

Home Visit OF Congressman Brings
Gloom. Many Predict Loss OF House
TO G.. o. p" These pensive headlines
are from the leading Republican news
paper Of the Middle West, the Chicago
Tribune. They are based upon inter-
views with congressman who have
returned to Washington after a more
or less pleasant time with their con-
stituents during the recent recess of
the House. These members Of Con-
gress deplore the necessity of return
ing TO Washington. The remaining
weeks of the session. they feel. are
needed for heart-to-heart talks with
the folks back home There Is q lot
OF explaining TO be done, and the Job
cannot be begun too soon. The trouble
according TO most OF them, is due to
weakness of policy" and lack OF
programme" on the part of the Presi-
dent. Here and there is Congress
man who thinks that Congress also
has Numbered. Anyway, the President
is not up for reelection and the mem
bers Of the House are, and II is a hard
fate that takes them away from their
districts at 30 critical a moment
Their dissatisfied constituents might
suggest. that instead OF devoting them
selves to explaining the past, they re-
turn to Washington and make the Inn
mediate future look a little brighter
Such a suggestion would AL them
with despair. Here Is the tariff bill

BASEBALL As A CIvILIzER.

Under date OF August 20 the De-
partment OF Commerce supplies the
world with some unusual informa-
ton. 1t il that baseball IL supplnnt-
Ing bull lighting az a sport in tho
hearts OF tho Mexicans. Cited In point
Is Chihuahua, where n recent Sunday
game of baseball drew 5000 attend
ants. more than were registered In
the palmy days OF the local bull ring
The bull ring languishes and 1t has
been necessary TO enlarge the base
ball grounds.
Furthermore. baseball Is drawing
trade: 1t Is spreading Americanism
and making better markets for Amer
lean goods. Thus the American Con-
sui on the ground reports: mo bet
ter means can be found to tear down
the barriers Of NATIONAL prejudices
and advance American prestige and
commerce in Mexico than by the en-
coura8ement of baseball. sport the
Americanism OF which il undis-
puted.' There IL no doubt that this
Is being done. The State govern
ment OF Chihuahun is lending its

ing of new park the governor
threw out tho first ball and an eighty
piece military band supplied the
music. 1T means more business, -

popcorn, but in a very wide range of
American goods" 1t means. too, the
steadily diminishing fortunes OF the
bull ring.
There has not been much news of
Mexico recently, and the impression
seemed to be that stagnation had
set in, but manifestly things are bet
ter than we thought. With baseball

MUST CUNNECT WITH SEWER.
Health Officials Decide to Enforce Law
Requiring This.

All property owners who have
ignored the notices from the Board of
Health to connect their houses with
the sewer where sewer is available
viii be notified at once that unless
they comply with this order from the
health department on or before Sep
TENDER the city will proceed against
them. Under the provisions OF the law
pertaining to this matter the health
board may order the connection made
and then attach and collect the rent
from such property until the bill is
paid or assess the costs against the
property as a. lien.
1t developed at meeting of the
Board OF Health yesterday that
many notices TO connect with sewers
have been issued but few complied
with. II was, therefore, decided TO en-
force the law without further delay
and to see that the orders from the
Board are complied with.
