land three or four times pass
through such critical seasons as
have described.
Through such sessions the Unit
ed States will have to pass in the
! course Of the next century, If not
of this. How will you pass through
them? I heartily wish you good
deliverance, but my reason and my
wishes are at war, and I cannot
help forboding the worse. It is
quite plain that your Government
will never be able to restrain a dis
tressed and disconnected majority.
For with you the majority is the
Government, and has the rich, who
are always a minority, absolutely
at it's mercy.
The day will come when, in the
State of New York, multitude OF
people, none of whom had more
than half breakfast, or expects
to have more than half a dinner,
will choose the legislature. It Is
possible to doubt what sort of leg
islature will be chosen. On one
side is a statesman preaching pa

On the other Is demogogue rant

anybody should be permitted to

Which Of the two candidates is
likely to be preferred by a work
man who hears his children cry for
bread? seriously apprehend that
you will, in some such season OF
adversely as I have described, do
things which will prevent prosper

act like some people in year Of
scarcity; devour all Of the seed

a year, not Of scarcity, but of alb

The spoilation will increase dis

all sail and no anchor.

has entered on this downward pro-

must perish. Either some Caesar

Minneapolis, August 3.-Let us
roam around a bit this week and
take a glimpse through the base
ball spectrum as itowas flashed In
Columbus recently during the ALL

which never fails to strike us in
this old National game Is the COM

tossed out in this connection be-
cause, when the Millers had the
game, it was in it's beginning stage
and comparatively few outsiders
attended. Milwaukee and Column

road accessibility and the clans
flocked in.
Milwaukee housed its visitors in
the Milwaukee Athletic Club and
there was entertainment galore.
Columbus offered the Neil House

es of baseball paraphernalia at any
such game such as this Is the
Scout. He knows that the pick OF
the league Is going to be in action
and 1t saves him lot Of time and
trouble. You know a scouts job is
no sinecure, except as to it's hours,
there he Is boss Of his own destin-
les.
The biggest thing a scout has to
worry about is that some rival fell
low will beat him to an unknown
prospect. When there Is a standout
such as DiMaggio or Fette, etc., it
is not so much the scouts who
swing the deal, it's the purse Of
their bosses. In any pursuit Of a
Teller or a Gomez, you must find
the Red Sox, Tigers and Yanks
leading the way, for they are the
richest Of the big loop entries. 1t
didn't take an experienced scouts
eyes to tell that DiMaggio was
good. 1t just took some maneuver-
ing to be the one to get him to
sign.
But let some unheard of busher
like Poffenberger, of Detroit, for
instance, blossom out and then the
boss calls in the scout and wants
to know land why didn't you spot
this guy?" The biggest grief some
ivory-hunters come to is a fellow
like Billy Disch, coach of Texas
University. Billy Is unofficially re-
preventative Of the Red Sox and
he comes in contact with the
cream of Southern collegians. He
has so percent bulge on the gen.
tlemen who must tour around and
take a chance on seeing prospect
when he's having a good day. It's
an easy life but would you

In Europe, wnere the population

Of the Old World, and while this Is
the case, the Jeffersonian policy
may continue to exist without
causing any fatal calamity.
But the time will come when
New England will be as thickly
peopled as Old England. Wages
will be as low, and will fluctuate
as much with you as with us. You
will have your Manchesters, and
Birminghams. Hundreds and thou

sometimes out of work. Then your
institutions will be fairly brought

 Castor is the one nearer the north pole. Some three hundred years ago an astronomer making a list of stars, called Castor Alpha Gemi- norum and Pollux Beta Geminorum. This may be taken to indicate that at that time Castor was at least as bright as Pollux. As matter Of fact, Castor is really the more i1- teresting of the two stars, for 1t is easily seen in even a small telescope as a double star. Each of these yiS- ible pairs is itself binary as shown by the spectroscope and a small nearby star, also binary, is part of the same system. Castor, there fore, is really a ste1ar system com posed of six stars, which revolve in three pairs about their common center of gravity. Since Castor IS approaching us at a speed of about eight miles per second and PolluX retreating at Q speed of two miles per second, their relation is only an apparent one and the Twins do not form a physically united system. This state is, of course, true in gen. eral of all stars. Two stars are in the same constellation only because they are seen in the same general direction from the earth; they may be separated from one another in space by truly great astronomic dis tances. However, there are cases where nearby stars belong to a physically united star group.

 Procyon Double Star
 Directly east of Orion and north- cast of Sirius is another dog con- stellation. that of Canis Minor, the Lesser Dog. To the naked-eye observer 1t is interesting only be- cause of its brightest star, the first magnitude Procyon or Procion. This name itself means before the dog" or "forerunner of the dog" as Pro- cyon always rises a little earlier than Sirius. Procyon, like Sirius, is a double star and the two parts re- volve about each other once in thirty-nine years. Together their masses are about equal to one and one-third times that of the sun. In actual brightness they are together equal to ten suns. Proycyon's dis tance from us Is about ten light years and 1t takes a large telescope to distinguish its double nature. North of Procyon lies the constella- ton of the Gemini, or Heavenly Twins, which contains two very bright stars, Castor and PolluX. Though officially PolluX alone is ot the first magnitude, Castor is very nearly as bright and the two seem to merit well their appellation of twins, for they are only 4 1-2 de-
