Give me a little hunger,
A little bread and meat;
Sometimes q breath of bitterness,
Sometimes . taste Of sweet;
Enough Of work, enough of play;
A pipe to smoke at dusk Of day
To make the day complete.

CURRENT COMMENT

THE primary campaign was free
from mud singing among eandi-
dates and no bitterness has been en-
gendered in the Republican campaign
which is u good promise for Novem-
ber's election. Fastionalism also has
been noted for It's absence; the ticket
will command Republican support for
that reason. No personal charges
were heard in the primary campaign
against any Of the candidates.: 1t
was = free-for- all race and those who
won are honest, conscientious and
are fully In accord with the general
demand for economy and retrench-
ment wherever possible, but such re-
form in taxation al will more nearly
adjust burdens TO ability TO bear
them. The state convention will un-
dcubtedly nominate candidates who
are heartily in accord with such pro-
gram. Economy and efficiency Is the
main issue with the people generally
but economy should not be carried to
such lengths as TO cripple state in
ststutions. Only the demagogue will
advocate such an injurious course.
II Is as true as ever that the costs Of
government are local. Constructive
are few and far between,
but that Is what should be demanded
pf leaders and candidates and parties.
The less sensational In what they
promise the more constructive they
are likely to b.

body can have much question on that
point. Is there a player in either
league who has accomplished what
the veteran Ty Cobb has done this
year, He is old and acknowledges
that he is slipping and needs more
sleep. But senile as he is, he has
brought up tailender ball team with
raw material TO the place Of con-
tender with the first division teams
in his league. A manager has things
on his mind and is not expected to
shine as a player while carrying both
jobs. Yet Cobb last week passed
Sisler ard again leads both leagues
with the stick. There is ground for
saying that he is not only the most
valuable player, but always has been.
As a valuable individual player here
is this Sisler. whose skill as base
runner, fielder and terrifier Of star
pitchers has dragged his team from
st. Louis into first place in his
league. There is no discount on Sis
Ter therefore as the most valuable
individual player in the American
league. The position Of his team
proves that. Many fans maintain
with reason that he is the star of
the national game ana in class by
himself. When it comes to individual
value TO a team, 1t may be said OF
Walter johnson that he Is the team.
All things considered. he Is the great
est living slab artist. Like Cobb, he
IS an old man, as ball players go, but

With good conscience. Nearly ev-
'rybody, however, is ready to ac-
that the greatest individ-
Ial ball player in either league is
eddie Collins, whose immense magne-
ism has pulled third rate team,
