B0RAH TOO OLD

Senator William K. Borah, as Repub-
llcan candidate for the presidency next
year?
The distinguished Idaho gentleman's
name was proposed Yesterday at a six
state conference held in Cleveland, but
was declared out of order and expunged
from the record.
That Borah would make an ideal stan
dard bearer, is a belief held by many Re-
publicans His record, which might
be briefly summed up by designating
him liberal" whose Americanism can
not be challenged, has won him a large
following among Democrats and indie
pendents, as we'll as within the ranks of
his own party.
Age would be the chief factor against
him, as he is now seventy, an age which
is not the best one for a man to under
take the difficulty of a hard campaign
such as next year will demand. If
Borah were younger it might be diff
ferent.
Throughout his % years in the sem
ate, Borah has paralleled somewhat, the
career of Hiram Johnson of California.
Neither has adhered strictly to party
rules, but attempts to discipline them
for that have fallen by the wayside. Both
have the respect of enemies as well as OF
their friends, and both stand for the
much scorned, at present, rugged indi-
vidualism."
The Republican national convention
is less than a year away, and candi-
date is still to be found. There still re-
mains to be located, an outstanding fig
ure who can furnish opposition to Mr.
Roosevelt, and the Republicans don't
seem to be making much progress on it.
The search for white hope" quar-
ter of century ago, never was so bleak
appearing as Republican prospects are
at this time 1t is high time to get busy.

the end Of the garden hose up in
the tree and fasten the nozzle to
another branch SO, when the water
was turned on it would fill the tin
can. The other end of the hose
was attached to the faucet outside
the hollow stump bungalow.
Next Uncle Wiggily tied a long
cord to the faucet so that when he
pulled the string one way the wat
er would turn on and fill the can
and when he pulled it the other
way the water would turn off and
none would run into the can and
there wouldn't be any shower bath.
When the can with holes was filled
with water, the animal children
were to stand under it in their
bathing suits and have shower
baths. Soon everything was ready.

OLD FIGHT RECALLED

Passing last week of Hank O'Day, vet
eran baseball umpire, recalls to older
baseball fans one of the most thrilling
chapters of the great national game, the
so-called (and unjustly so) "Merkle
bonehead play" in 1908.
1t is ancient history now, but at the
time it passed from the strict realm of
baseball to become national topic for
argument, held the headlines in the
newspapers for several days and caused
a controversy which lasted for several
years.
The New York and Chicago teams of
the National League were neck and neck
in the pennant race of 1908 when they
met in late September for a scheduled
game In the ninth inning, with a man
on third for New York, and another
(Merkle) on first, and one run needed
to win, the batter hit a grounder to the
outfield and the man on third raced
home, with Merkle going toward second.
The latter had seen the runner cross the
plate and did what countless baseball

ing suit, Bunty stood beneath the
shower. Uncle Wiggily pulled the
string and down out Of the holes
in the can up in the tree came a
lot Of water. 1t splashed all over
Baby Bunty.
oh, golly! Ollyl Olly!" she
shouted. What fun this isl" She
opened her mouth to let some
water in and she had a fine bath.
Then came the turn Of Jingle, Jan
gle, Buster, Custer, Muster. Duster
and the other rabbits. They all
had shower baths.
Now let the monkey boys have
their turns" said Uncle Wiggily
"They helped me make it," SO
Jacko and Jumpo got under the
shower and had a fine splash. just
as Uncle Wiggily turned off the
water a loud voice called out:
What's this? What's this?
What's going on here?"
Now 1 must see who that is

players did before and have done since.
He didn't touch second base but eontin-
ued on to the club house, figuring the
game over and a victory for New York.
Johnny EVerS, the diminutive Chicago
second baseman, had his eyes wide open,
however He is the same Evers who
made the recent fight for "Alabama"
Pitts On the field Johnny was the
meanest, orneTiest most cantankerous
bit of humanity ever to don a baseball
shoe. Aside from that he was a peach
a gentleman and real baseball player
He hugged second base, demanding
that the ball be thrown to him for a put
out on Merkle. Eventually he got the
ball and demanded that O'Day who was
umpiring, should call Merkle out O'Day
did so. 1t was tight and desperate sit
uation for thousands of victory-mad
New York fans, each of whom viciously
hated Chicago and all connected with it,
had swarmed on the field 1t wasn't an
imaginative danger but deadly real.
O'Day and Evers faced the crowd and
held their ground. They were badly man
handled and only the arrival of adequate
police reserves possibly saved their lives.
Technically both were absolutely right
The league chiefs upheld Evers' claim
and sustained O'Day'S decision, but such
were the dangers involved in giving the
game to Chicago, that the league board
decided the wisest course was to throw
out the game and have it played over.
This was done and on October 8, 1908,
Chicago triumphed and won the pen
nant.
Old Hank O'Day was tough and so was
Johnny Evers. Both compelled the ad-
miration of their bitterest enemies by
their courage They fought the game of
life as they fought baseball games, cour-
ageously and absolutely ION the square" -
O'Day has gone. Evers still battles on
for what he believes to be right and
it was no surprise to those with long
memories, to read of him fighting that
a man who had done wrong might be
given a chance to do right.
Neither will rate as an outstanding
figure in American history, but they ex-
emplify the best asset any nation can
have-men with the courage to stand up
for the right.

noise in the bushes.

it might be one of the Bad Chaps

boys and girls to be harmed.
But when MI. Longears had

came the noise. he saw there Jacko

monkeys.

can best help me finish this show

Another, and less known method
Of raising revenue during Civil war

In the early years, the directory
was sold as sort of guide-book
for tourists, bringing IN a bit more
cash in addition to the receipts
from the advertising.
The issue of 1852, for instance,
contained a detailed guide to the

Pollard, wrote out a description Of
his exhibits in much the manner in
which he gave his spiels to visitors.
He began his account in the direc-
tory:
Cast your eyes up to the wall,
and you will see the full-length
portrait of Mons. Guizot, the cele-
brated prime minister of Louis Phil

Next he directed attention to a

to have salted 100000 in govern

stands out as ''the best dressed

shirts and robin egg blue ties. And,
of course, there is the greatest
hero of all, the derby-cocked strut
ting Bill Robinson, the incompar-
able 'Bojangles" with his four cars
of expensive make.
The jargon of Harlem, however,
is far more picturesque, descriptive
and original than Broadway's pa
tois. Broadway picks up phrases of
the underworld and fits them to a
somewhat potter world. Harlem's
slang comes generally from the
levee or cotton field. Among the
