C. E. LITTLEFIELD DEAD.. Charles E. Littlefield, who it will be remembered, delivered an address lere at the annual banquet of the jusiness Men's association & few years ago, is dead at the age of 64 years. He had a most interesting career, and in his last campaign for congress in Maine in 1906, after having served three terms, he had arraved against fm the American Federation of | Labor; Samuel Gompers took the stump against him and his majority | was cut down from approximately £0,000 to less' than one thousand. President Taft’ went into-the district | and spoke for him and this undoubt- | edly had much to do with saving him | from defeat. He liked congressional | life but he opposed organized labor | and it fought him for it. He removed from Maine after that memorable campaign and. took up his residence in New YorK in order that he might t more successfully practice law, Thei real reason, however, was that he felt | that if he ran again he would be de- feated and sooner than take a chance at it he declined to be: a candidate cgain and resigned his office. Mr. | Littlefield was an orator of the fierr“ kind and could be very severe when in a denunciatory mood. He had ability and for a time it was understood that Colonel Roosevelt had him write his trust legislation but this story was subsequently denied. He was a close friend of Mr. Roosevelt however, and | this more than anything else fur- | nished the ground for the impression that he had prepared legislation for | him. He succeeded Nelson Dingley in | congress and as the latter had en- | joyed a wide reputation as a states- man, Mr. Littlefield started his con-‘{ gressional career by having attention attracted to him at the outset. He | had political experience in. the state | before that, but it was as a member of ’ congress that he became pest knowng! A murder was not committed here’; yesterday, at least the victim of ths‘! shooting still lives and is expected to | recover, but the fact that she was not ! killed instantly ‘is due more to acci- ! is said to be of a woman's refusal to ‘marry her assailant, while the newspapers contain accounts almost every day of husbands -killing their wives. In fact one of the racent ex- ecutions at the Wethersfield prison was that of a New Brftain man who shot his wife, It seems like a peculiar sort of affection that leads a man to | Kill & woman who will not marry him, | but the shooting here yesterday is only one of many of the same ghar- acter throughout ~ the The | assailant proved 1 sively that he ig not a very decirable mate for aswoman, and she is lucky to have ‘escdped him. | + . .

President Lincoln accompanied the federal troops when they entered Richmond April 4, 1865; Lee sur- rendered to Grant at Appomattox April 9; Lincoln was shot in the even- day. Wholly without prejudice or sec ional feeling, Lincoln was intensely occupied with plans for the'restoring of harmony and the quick return of the seceded states to their full auton- cmy and their proper places in the Union when his death plunged the na- tion in grief. He had the same con- ception as Jefferson's of the para- mount importance of national union and of maintaining our continental re- public upon the basis of the federal system, For his leadership all parts of the country ought now to be profoundly grateful.: If he could few.years longer, we. should perhaps have been spared some unfortunate of our sub: have made Us a greater and stronger nation than we are tods But he accomplished enough to carn secure fame as a statesman of suvreme rank. He was an American in whom were | blended the characteristic of all parts | of the country in a wey that made him ! national in the full sense; a humani- | tarian of great: vision, in whose heurll there was no animosity toward any nation or race of mankind. world’'s greatest need tod is of lead- ers of the Lincoln mold, who will be-~ lieve that the welfare of each nation | can be made to harmonize with that o<. all the others, Hating war, Lin- coln was, nevertheless, * impelied to lead a colossal four years struggle on hehalf’ of an American unity that should make for permanent peace and human liberty. If he were alive today he would probably hold that our country ought t) ascertain and then ‘to express in clear terms the common sentiment of the non-belligerent couhtri ' He would stand’ for the world's liberation from war, upon the.basis of principles and. agreements that would remove the causes of strife, and provide a higher structure than national sov- ereignty. He would have America strong enough to make its heard in the councils of the fearful and He was like the gr Franklin and Jefferson—in the breadth of his sympathies and in his grasp of the large essentials of human p#bgress.

A machine which is dependent upon the efficiency of its component parts is no stronger than any one of those parts, and this maxim seems to be I particularly true in respect to a base- ball machine, The Glants are in the cellar of the National league for the first time in many years. Yet with the exception of three men the old Giant ball-play- ing championship machine is intact taday, and those three men have been replaced by plavers just as good or better. Once a baseball machine | goes to smash it is impossible to re- | habilitate it again. Conie Mack seems to have recognized this truth, for when his grand old team went to | pleces battling with the Boston Braves | for the world's championship last fal) | he immediately proceeded to put it | out of commission forever and to ybuild up a new machine. Frank | Chance was never able to revive the famous old Cub machine once it be- i to weaken, although he struggled d to accomplish the task for two seasons. John J. McGraw, evidently has been laboring under the delusion that if ho preserved as much as he could of his old championship team fe could make the CGiants, with the | addition of a little new material, what they used to be; but the utter | hope #s of the task tshould now nt even to the Little Na- r of baseball. Ball players, like e Worses, track athletes, prize fight- s and all other contenders in the arena of &ports, have their best days, and, once having had them, those best deys never return, There are veterans playving on the Giants today who have so lost their { puach that it is sad to sece them per- ; form, It may be a nice sentiment to { cling to these old-time favorites, to | give them' opportunity to come back, | to be loyal to them as long 'as thew | can gambol about the green nd swing | a bat, but there is another side to, the | matter. It is a question whether it would not be better sentiment to re- tire some of these old-time idols of the diamond before their day of use- fulness has quite passed away, while they still possess some of their former Prowess, so that fans may remember them ‘not as they have deteriorated, ! but as they were in the hour of their ! greatness. To see the crowd on the hleachers hiss and deride the one- time mighty Giants is not an edifying srectacle calculated to make for the gcod of baseball, but that is what they | are doing occasionally these days at the Polo grounds. { | | | “THE DANSANT” AN EXHIBITION = OF BALL ROOM AND PROFESSIONAL DANCING i iphe sant” we Introduced a year ngo proved such an enjoyable feature’ that we ‘decided to give another cxhibition, . 4.
