DIFFERENT TYPES.
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

I run for governor and this is not only

"One is the fact that I continued

ies to the end and cannot with any
degree of justice again become a can

paign. 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.

:U3;NESS OUTLOOK GOOD
p's Trade Report Gives Engourage
rrent for All Lines of Business.
r-ra the Freeport, 111., Standard, Sept
11, 1912:
Dun's trade , report for the past
re't gives encouragement for all
; es of business, crops and manufac
i rirg enterprises. 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. Rockford, w'ti
'h(e times the population, has life
tc e 'h?n double the amount of money
rn drofiit in her seven banvs. P'rar
Pewit's pcpulation at 118,000, whi"'b
is p'rbibly conservative, the per c?pi
ta deposits in the banks amonnt to
$2. 41 V2, which is a pretty good show'ng.
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.

ASEBALL enthusiasts everywhere call him "Matty." bnt ne is real.

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

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.

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. No, sir, bis racing days are
over. Now see if 1 ain't tfght"

X SPICY SPORTING CHATS.
By TOMMY CLARK.
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
