BACK TO OUR OWN

The National Society to Restore Representative Government is out with printed pamphlet and states , it's objects as follows: ITO re-in- carnate the spirit of Our Republic
 in the hearts and minds of the ci l tizens of the United States, that the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and to Our Posterity may be pre- served, and that representative gov ernment shall not be submerged in centralized autocracy.
 :. Here are excerptc: .''The stu- dents of government and observers
 of current events well know that the
 United States, as administered, is
 bureaucratic and autocratic.''
 The Society Twill conduct no radi-
 cal destructive movement, but ar educational program in the cardinal principles of our government. It's supreme purpose will be to awaken
 the citizens of this country to deep- CT sense of their individual respons-

AI W1A1 0AOuSS dppI6uu6uSlOu OI all patriots to reflect that here re- gently there have been held at the seat of our government secret, deep and dark, conferences between the heads of the Bank of England, France, Germany and the Federal Reserve Bank, which necessarily in- wolves the finances, credits and cur rency of this country. It is unhesi- tatingly asserted by MT. William Hard, prominent newspaper writer of national standing, in the Wash ington Star, issue of July 10th, that apart from the discussion by the conference of the gold reserves of the four countries, the money ex- change movements betwen them, the financial assets of each, and the joinder of the four in the mainten- ance of the gold standard, the most important subject considered was their power, to influence the gener- al trend of the prices of commodi- ties and thus to help to raise the apparent cost of living, for the hum dreds of millions of citizens of the four outstanding leading countries of the world.
 What becomes of our far famed policy of PITILESS PUBLICITY when such deep and dark conference es, as MT. Hard denotes them, may be held as to matters of vast inn portance to our people?"
 ''Tt is not alone to the Federal Reserve Bank that Congress has surrendered the power of legisla- tiOn, which the constitution conferr- ed upon that body, but it has sur rendered similar powers to various bureaus and commissions; like those of the United States Tariff Commission with power upon ap- proval of the President to increase or lower import duties under cer- tain conditions; like the Interstate Commerce Commission, with vast powers over railroads; like the Fed .eral Trade Commission, with power over industrial concerns and limita- tions of their activities; like the Civil Service Commission, prescrib- ing qualifications for entrance into government employ, classifying and rating employees; and other bureas and commissions, some under and some not under the Executive De- partments of the Government; and as they are all given power to make rules and regulations within the scope of their conferred powers, which have the effect of law, the administration of our government has become involved and bureau cratic until persons having busi- ness with it find it necessary to retain an expert to guide him in his transactions with his own govern ment."

The starting prices to win were:
Call Boy, to 1.

Under the English racing rules,
second and third horses pay one
quarter of the odds to win for place
and show.
King George, Queen Mary, Prince
Henry, Princess Mary and the Duke
Of Coonaught arrived shortly before
the horses were called to the post.
Two factors aside from the race
itself this year held particular inter-

perhaps thousands, who perhaps
otherwise might not have attended
the race.

When one regular pitcher gets a
sore arm or goes into slump it
upsets everything. That's why
pitching is so tough to dope. And
that's why managers are always
worrying about their pitchers, too.
A manager may have the greatest
pitching staff in the world, but he
worries just the same. All because
he don't know what may happen
end when things start going wrong
the best staff in the world can be
ruined in two weeks time.
Before the season opened the
Philadelphia, Athletics were sup
posed to have the best pitching
staff In the American League
and the Cincinnati Reds were
supposed to be as strong as any
In the National. Look at 'em
now. Connie Mack is aYerag-
ing two or three pitchers In
every game and Jack Hendricks
hasn't q man on his staff who
can be counted on to 90 nine
innings at a stretch.
You can't explain it.. It just hap
pens.
The Yankees on the other hand
were supposed to have just a fair
staff. But our pitchers have been
going great guns. winning close
ball games time after time. and
getting away with some of the
prettiest work in the league.
I suppose there isn't q pitcher
In baseball who has more stuff
on the ball than Bob Grove. the
Philadelphia lef thander. He
has everything. But somehow
he inst can't win ball games.
When Grove goes bad that
makes more work for the rest
Of the staff. and they soon tire
out.
Another thing that can play the
dickens with a pitching staff is
the weather. Cold rainy days are
hard on pitchers. Pitchers can't
get their "arms hot" on days like
that, the muscles tighten up and
their arms get sore. Then, too,
rainy days mean postponements,
and pitchers don't get enough work
to keep in trim. Not getting
enough work is just as hard on
pitchers as getting too much work.
When a club has been rained out
for three or four days in a row
the pitching is apt to be pretty
bad when they finally start in play.
ing again..
There have been a lot Of up
sets in baseball this year. The
White SOx are way up when
everyone figured them to be
down; the Cincinnati Reds and
the Philadelphia Athletics and
the Griffmen are down when
the experts figured them to be
up, and the answer is pitching.
You can't dope it and you can't
guess it. Almost every day you
see a story in the paper that this
or that manager is worried about
his pitching. Which is true. But
so IL every other manager in the
business. For pitching is the big
gest gamble in baseball. It's the
one department of the game where
all the records and past perform.
