CAMP TWO TEAM CLEANS
HOUSE AT McCLEARY SUN.
The fast Camp Two team played a
1hot game with the McCleary tossers
at that place last Sunday andtook the
millmen into camp to the tune of 20
to 5. The camp boys had McCleary
badly outclassed and scored on them
evey inning.
SCORE AT OLYMPIA SUNDAY IS
9' TO 8 BUT SHELTON SAYS
THEY CAN'T DO IT AGAIN
THIS WEEK.
What baseball fans consider a
demonstration of pure luck for the
Olympia Senators caused Shelton to
lose the game in that city last Sun-
day after they had the game fairly
won.
In the ninth inning the score
stood 8 to 5 in Sheltor's favor and
the game looked like an easy vic-
tory, but two batters were walked
to base and a short hit put a third
man on. This started the.ball rolling
and Olympia had four more men
over the pan before they could be
stopped. The final score was 9 to8
in favor of Olympia.
In order to prove to the local fans
what Shelton .can really do under
proper conditions a "Come Back"
game with the Capital City team will
be played here this Sunday. The
boys are determined to make a de-
cisive clean-up on their noisy neigh-
bors and indications are that the fans
will witness the hardest fought game
of the season.
Following is the box score of the
game at Olympia last Sunday:

"ROTTEN POLITICS"
We hear a good deal nowadays about "rotten
politics" and "crooked politicians," and probably if
we stopped to analyze and dissect the matter we
would not find the people who take a real interest
in the political affairs of the country so bad after
all. We find first of all that people average up as
a rule where;er we may find them--in politics, in
business, in ordinary walks and employments of
life and on the farms,--roughly in three divisions:
good, bad,and indifferent. Those who take interest
in politics are not always seekers only for the emol-
uments of office, the great majority of them, in
fact, never have and never would seek the best
office within the gift of the people. Nor do they
take interest for personal gain of any sort, but
solely because they have become imbued with cer-
tain ideals and beliefs gained from study or obser-
vation during the journey of life, and grown to set
principles which they carry out in their voting. It
would hardly be fair to class such as "crooks."
Those who do seek office must be called upon to
bear the odium (?) directed against politics, and
being just average citizens they will generally be I
found to measure up fairly well with those others I
who may cast reflections against them. The truth
is, there are are failures in political life as well. as
in business or industrial life--men who fail under
trial to measure up to their responsibilities, or who
lack education, training or ambition to take full
advantage of their opportunities. Their hearts were
right, they meant well, but turned out to be "weak
sisters." There are, of course a fair share of those
who prove "bad," but they are soon found out by
the people and find themselves obless as well as
artyless From their ranks spring the leaders of
Pew parties and the noise about "crooked politics."
The office-holder knows his tenure is limited
to "good behavior" and he tries to carry out the
wish of the majority of the people, do his duty to
the best of his ability, and make his work stand out
better than that of his predecessor. Because few
of the citizens take any interest in public affairs
until the eve of election it is up to him to keep the
political fires smouldering between times and carry
on his party organization, aided by the few faith-
ful in their principles. If their aims are unsemsn
their interest can hardly be termed "rotten."
They are at least frank and honest in defining
their principles and party ties, and above the trick-
ery, dishonesty and political treachery of entering
the primary of another party, seeking to corrupt !t
and gain ends not ,for the general good. This s
about the aeme of "rotten politics."
