1t looks as if the Birmingham man
had keen insight into things, but
he need not despair. The south is
turning out more and better ball
players every year and it needs only

The Brooklyn club was a mighty

them out of the running. They had

We were on the way to a seventh

to the seventh inning when Roy
Thomas scored on an outfield fly.
Now, If that wasn't a great ball
club I'd like to see one. No other
club ever had pitchers work like that
or ever made any such record.
Mind you, we had lost some of our
best men when we did that. In 1902
several players went to the American
League and made great records there.
Among them was Harry Smith, a
great catcher--one of the best in the
world at holding runners on base.
Another great man we lost was
Jack Chesbro, who went to the New
York Americans, then just starting
and made a wonderful record. Ches-
) bro was called Happy Jack, and
rightly so. He had a wonderful dis

There were some men on that team

LINE HUNDRED and f0rtyelght years ago today a group OF

hat the right is more precious than peace signed a document
defying King George of England to do his worst and started
this country on its way as an independent nation 1t was an
experiment in independence It was followed some years later
by the Constitution, an experiment in self-government.
We wonder today, as we again celebrate the signing of that
impudent document, what the fathers of our country would
think if they could see us today. Would they be proud of the
manner in which their ideas and ideals have been carried out, or
would they be grieved at our perversion of their original inten-
tons. We wonder.
Recently in Cleveland there was a demonstration of the
self-government that they planned. \ candidate picked by a
few men in a back room because he represented their particular
ideas of a man who would give them what they wanted was nom
mated. In New York we have a political convention turned into
. war between religions.

Perhaps we need a new Declaration of independence, decar-

II BATTLE Is ON

TTlHE fight against exorbitant telephone rates is on. The
1 public service commission is battling in the interest Of
the people against a corporation seeking to squeeze two profits
from the business concerns and private telephone users of In
d~ianapolis.
Business men are up in arms The Chamber of Commerce
and the Merchants Association are in the fight IN the interest
of all the people.
This fight should continue until a showdown is reached. 1t
should continue until we know once and for all whether the pub
lie has. any control over a monopoly dealing in a necessity, or
whether such a concern, having eliminated competition and the
ordinary control of duly constituted officials, can rule according
to its own sweet will.
The public service commission is planning an order to re
duce the new measured service rate. The company probably
will combat such an order From this fight should develop a def
1te showdown.
Nothing should be left undone in carrying on the fight in be-
half of the public The commission, if its orders are not permit
ted to stick, should not hesitate to appeal its case to the Supreme
Court of the United States Money spent in such a fight is
money well spent.
Thousands for the establishment of the rights of the people,
but not one cent for double profits for the telephone trust.
