The direct primary law means something to Paul Clagstone, promi nent progressive Republican of Ida ho. In the recent primary election in that .state, Mr. Clagstone was defeat ed for the Republican nomination for governor by a plurality of less than 100. Immediately following the pri mary, he was urged by Roosevelt, per sonally, and the Bull Moose leaders of Idaho to renounce his Republican ism and become the candidate of the Progresive party for the same office in the general election. The reply of Mr. Clagstone to their appeals is respectfully commended to the con sideration of Senator Bourne and his friends. It follows: "Two conditions seem to form ab solutely impaasable obstacles to my 3i A T . li . t,t THE SINGLE TAX ARMY NEEDS RECRUITS. qualification I N0.

Not only would I be condemn ed by the great majority of right thinking men, but L would be untrue to myself as well." REAL PROGRESSIVENESS. In an election that marked the tear ing down of old barriers and' the rear ing of new of an entirely new con struction, the grand old state of Ohio three weeks ago put through a pro gram of progressive legislation that j hnc nwr Wr, ommiPrt in the world's i history. Rv that amA maioritv the voters ! voted down Single Tax, regarding it I as not only dangerous to the working man, but to the farmer, the home owner, and the lot owner. In fact, to everyone but the capitalist. When the initiatory amendment was offered to the constitution there j was fastened there a proviso that the Initiative should never be used to i foist Single Tax on the state of Ohio and by one stroke the voters nailed their standard aloft and hurled at pejs ana his Single Tax war-chest a defi tnat . went rattling through the -tv Here is the victorious Ohio amend ment, which effectually bars Single Tax. and the confiscation of land by the State. Sec. 1. The powers defined herein as the "initiative" and "referendum" shall not be used to pass a law auth orizing any clasification of property for the purpose of levying different rates of taxation thereon or of auth orizing the levy of any Single Tax on land or land values or land sites at a higher rate or by a different rule than is or may be applied to improve ment thereon or to personal proper- ty.

In part the re- !o''t says: Continuous advance in trade activ- I itics is the tenor of the reports from the principal manufacturing and dis- touting centers last week. The ad- vsnoe is both in actual volume of transactions' and in that confidence wHch is the basis of healthy business. The big August bank learings are . development of present activity and v.oyancy. Clearings in August gain- 0 4.6 per cent over last ye'.r, while twins this week they increased 10.5 o- cent over 1911 and 17.6 per cent ,er 1910. The evidence of these ,'earings is confirmed by. the current ailroad gross earnings, which show sin of 6.8 per cent over 1911 Rates of money are ha- dcning in all arts cf the world, a plain response .1 the greater movements of trade -id commerce and the bigger de mands of new enterprises. The in reased confidence in the financial arkets is illustrated by the fact i-rr the August output of new se curities and shorter term notes in this wintry was $92,000,000 g'eat-r than 1. year ago. The remarkable consump tion of iron and copper products con 'im'es to the point of actual capacity, -l all the principal industries show satisfactory activity. PROSPERITY LESSENS CRIME iiecret Service Chief Says That with Good Times There Is' Less Law-Breaking. From the Buffalo, N. Y., Inquirer: The department of agriculture in its latest announcement reports burn er crops of corn, white potaoes, firing wheat, oats, rye and buck v! eat. Business agencies report booming 'on and steel trade, strong demand or cash and decrease in the number -f commercial, failures. The most novel sign of prosperity, t.owever, is recorded by Chief John Wilkie of the United States secret e vice. "Whenever work is plentiful, and employment easily obtainable,' --ays Chief Wilkie, "crime is less and 'his rule, which has been demon- trated by years of experience, ap- Tes as much to counterfeiting as to it' er offenses against the law." As a general proposition easy times ire the times freest of crime, indicat ing that distress is the cause of much 'aw breaking. BANKS SHOW PROSPERITY. rora th Beloit, Wis., Free Press, Sep tember 11, 1912: Bank deposits are a sure indicator ;f prosperity in a city, and on this point Beloit banks show a steady in ci ease and this city on this score r;rrnares most favorably with the outside world. Total deposits in the four banks according to the 'current , -0,-,-er,ts aggregate $4,348,478.46, of wl ich 12,569,371.14 represents the sav :T! cf the people.

Cn Fe Affected by Po'itics. ITcr.iy Clews, the New Yor fium-'-.I expert, says in his weekly letter ' at business conditions are g:od, f.rptrti.ly in the west, but he po:nts tlist they may become unsettled by po liiicsi developments. The e were good times before the last Democratic administration, but they soon became bad times. The country d-ws not want history to re peat itself. TEMPER. If a man has a quarrelsome tem per, let him alone. The world will soon find him employment. He will soon meet with some one stronger than himself who will repay him better than you can. A man may fight duels all his life if he is dis posed to quarrel. Cecil. Christy Mathewson, the Idol Of Baseball Fans Everywhere 4 .

Christopher Mathewson. and it is by thsit mime lie is known iu tilt insurance business, at which hn works when tie is not playlns ball The six months he puts iu as ai. athlete brum hiiu perhaps $7,500 wUirh is doubtless considerably more thnn he m.ikes the rest of the year sell ins; insurance. Matty was born in 1SSO. rikI sill his bnsHtmll career, except at Kuokiiel! university, where he was graduated, mid a few months with small towns, has been spent with the New York .nrioual !e;itrie team, better known hs the Giants Snail boys everywhere regard Mathewson us the greatest man alive There is much in his career tlwt hoys can emulate with profit tie has always played the frame the best he could, tie has lei! a clean life, and he has never been ordered from the diamond because ot a dispute with au umpire. Baseball players are frequently crit icised for taking long chances on the bases, when, in fact, the percentage is in their favor. Let a player try to take an extra base on a play, and if he is nailed he is blamed for having been too darinsr. and yet it took a perfect throw and perfect handling of the ball to make the piny possible. A ball team which does not take lib erties on the bases hasn't a chance to be winner If every man who reaches the sacks would wait until lie was bat ted around the circuit very few runs would lie scored, and the game would deteriorate into an uninteresting exhi bition of which the public would soon tire. Furthermore, there are more, ball games won because of daring base run ning than are lost by it. for the very good reason that any time a ball has to be thrown, caught and the runner touched the percentage m in favor of the runner.

Latourette i Press Association Mike Murphy says that Billy Kramer, the American cross country champion, will never run again, and as Murphy never misses the mark when it comes to telling the extent of an injury it seems that Kramer's days as an athlete are over. It now appears that the ten don of Achilles of his left leg is se verely injured. According to the veteran trainer Kramer received his injury by running on the deck of the Finland without the proper massage after his exercise. The training facilities were such that some of the athletes had to go without the necessary amount of attention, and Kramer was one of those who unfor tunately had to suffer as a result of this lack of accommodation. Murphy cites the fact that all the races in which Kramer tried to enter at the Olympics he proved that he could not do himself justice, for after running part of the distance his tendon stiffened upon him to such an extent that he could hardly move a muscle after be had used his leg for a little time. Garry Fitzgerald, Kramer's trainer, says that he thinks rest and care may bring it around all right, but Murphy shook his head sadly and said: "I've felt 'em that way before, and I never saw one yet that came around fit to wort" on.

HOW AN UMP CURED AN IRASCIBLE MANAGER. 4 "It took an umpire in the Vir- f ginia State' league last year to hang one on to n fiery manager." T Frank Shaughuessy said in tell- 4 ing a story he was in on. "We 4. T were playing in Richmond and just before the game the umps came to me for the batteries. I Z told who would work for Roa- ? T noke and he went over to the Richmond bench to get that j club's batteries. I knew the X 4 manager was sore on him and was surprised to see him walk away a few seconds later seem- ingly satisfied, as I thought the manager would give him a rat- ting. 4, "He announced the Roanoke batteries to the grand stand and bleachers and then shouted.

This year's variety of football rules has been accused of being everything from a return to the old eat 'em, alive mass play rules to being a slight modi fication, which will have little effect on the style of play. Actually a sur vey of the new football laws leads to the belief that the game that will de velop under them will be a close cousin to that played in 1909 an invitation to the tackles to stand up and be killed. Last year's rules favored the defense to such an extent that scoring was almost impossible and fluky in the ex-J treme. It appears that in their effort to strengthen the offense the rule mak ers have gone to the other boundary and that scoring this year is likely to be enormous and that any defense de veloped will be helpless against a heavy, fairly fast back field, working to gain ten yards in four downs. The mass play died when pulling and pushing a man through the line was abolished. But the tackle now will have to stand the shock of his opposing forward and then of a heavy man bent on making two or three yards. He will not in all probability get much help from the secondary de fense. To weaken the defensive back line unduly will be simply an invita tion to the offense to work the now unrestricted forward pass to its heart's content Wants, For Sale, Etc Notices under these classified headings will be inserted at one cent a word, first insertion, halt a cent additional inser tions. 1 One Inch card, $2 per montn; nan inch card, (4 lines), 1 per montn. fash must accomDanv order unless one has an ODen account with the paper.
