wiiinn f hajifttttll cama lndai In the
eighth game of the world'! championship
lories between the New York Giant and
Ihe Boston Red Sox. ,
New York was favored in the betting at
odds of 10 to 8. The fact that Mathewson
was to pitch, together with New York's
two victories and the Red Sox reversal
of form made the odds' switch to New
York for the first time since the series
started. Some even money , bets were
made yesterday, but up to that time New
Yorkers sought a short end when looking
for wagers. )
; Two days ago the National leaguers
were battling In the last ditch; today it
is the Red Sox who have their backs to
the wall. The Giants believed their rush
would not be stopped today. The Red
1 Sox p'.anned a more careful battle than
those they fought in the two previous
games.
,Hugh Bedient, the Red Sox re"crult of
. only 'a season's , standing in the major
leagues and who- last Saturday bested
New York with the old master, Christy
Mathewson pitching, was groomed to
take up the mound work for the Red Sox.
Mathewson it was expected by ftew York
' supporters 'would be asked by McGraw to
assume again the same position for New
York, making another pitchers' dual a
prospect. After Saturday's game Mathew
son declared that he was done for a small
series pitching.
"I cannot win a world's series again.
My arm ' Is lame and t am tired all
through. I threw the old arm out twice
and I am afraid It will fail me," he de
clared. But he warmed up during yester
day s game and all Indications were the
.veteran of many base ball games would
work for the Giants.

tinued Bryan, "In denunciation of the

him and hopes for his spteffy recovery,
but the Issues of the campaign should
not be determined by the act of a mad
man. They muslj be settled by the sane,
rather than the Insane. . , -
"Xe'lther Colonel Roosevelt nor his
friends could ask that 'the discussion be
turned away from the principles that

It should be because of what he has done
in the past and what he' proposed to do.

NEW. YORK, Oct 16.-(8peclal.)-Steal
inb laborers or the employes of another
Is a misdemeanor In, Pennsylvania. It
bad been, a dead letter for many years,
but now is not uncommon. , It is one of
the signs of republican prosperity which
Is keeping manufacturers humming, with
plenty of i work,, but ft; scarcity of men.
This, is no overdrawn picture,, for the
word of manufacturers and business men
In the Pittsburgh district corroborates It.
William Fllrui, the principal backer of
the third term candidate in Pennsylvania,
knows the situation, too, but he Is not
saying anything in that regard; it is
not a good argument for a change in
government policy and conditions, for ex
perlmentlng and Interference with the
diversified business Interests of a nation.
The chief issue of , the third termer and
his advocates disappears when they art)
faced with such examples of unwonted
prosperity.
Work Hunts Workmen.
Work will be hunting workmen evidently
for months and years to , come if nd
change Is permitted to cause lack of
confidence, confusion and business un
certainty. All that' the Industrial inter
ests of this country wish, in the words
of men prominent in, various lines, Is to
be let-alone; to be assured of govern
ment stability on present laws for a few
years, with no overturning, of the pro-i
tectlve tariff. Tariff . reductions, wher
ever, the schedules may be on too high a
basis, due to a change in accessory con
ditions, are , opposed - by none. If the
tariff Is really too high , on . a certain
commodity, its reduction will not Injure
that Interest or cause curtailment in tha
output '. ' ' '"' '' '
It the tariff is not too high and its
reduction, would cripple an industry or
cause , the employment of ' fewer men,'
then, , according to the republican pro
tective tariff principle, it should be let
alone. ' 1
Good times now are country-wide. Did
you read, .of the western farmer who sold
his wheat crop for $10,000, packed up his
entire family and took a ' trip to San
Francisco,, to, "see the city 7" Men were
scarcet hroughout the harvest time in
the west and good wages were paid to
all who would work. Bankers say that
the payroll of, the. business interests
which deposit with them are the largest
they ever have known, and the. bankers
know, for they give the currency to meet
the payrolls. Until recently, the bankers
say further, the small business man, es
pecially, was pressed to make expenses
during the year. Frequently, loans were
arranged at the bank to tide him over.
and investigation showed that these loans
were' not obtained to Increase business
or to expand into other lines, but really
Vj meet deficiencies In business after a
hard year's work. Now these loans are
being paid back, deposit - accounts are
swelling in' size, 'the business man of
independent vocation, the manufacturer,
the farmer and the "ultimate consumer,''
feel the breath of prosperity.
. They have reached the point where they
are stopping and asking themselves:
"What has caused this improvement in
business 7" '
There is only one answer so far as
the political . aspect of the situation is
