SMC VIVL APPEAR WHtK CG&tt,KTKO "NATIONALISM" DOCTRINE FLAYED BY SEN. HER Imperialism, Pure and Simple, He Says and "as Treasonable as Secession." Marysvllle, ).. Oct. SI. Former Benator Joseph B. Foraker signalized his return into active politics Saturday by going ufter Colonel Koosevelt and his new nationalism, rough shod. Foraker "stood pat" on the tariff, de plored the activities of the Insurgents, urged Senator Dirks return, and en dorsed Warren O. Harding Tor gov ernor and the entire republican state ticket. He spoke kindly of I'resident Taft's administration and said repub lican victory In Ohio means a great deal to the president. Referring to Colonel Roosevelt's new nationalism, former Senator Foraker said "W have lately had a new declar ation of political i.rlnelplea. They are politically baptised as the doctrines of a 'new nationalism.' They are set forth In the nature of a platform for new party PoMlH they are In tended for that use only in the event that the distinguished author be nol nominated for the presidency by either of tho old parties. "However that may be, It Ih well to note that they violate our dual form of government by arrogmtlnt.

Aside Irom all other ob jections this new doctrine is as cer tainly destructive of our institutions as any Invoked In the name of the South ern Confederacy. "Such a preachment Is not national ism, either new or old, but imperial ism, pure and simple. It Is In spirit at leaat as reasonable a secession It self. "The power it would give to the president of the United States would be far more autocratic and dangerous to the III eri ie of this people than are those of any monarchy In Eurni" 'The program has one saving fea ture, however.

Chicago, Oct. 24. The baseball championship of the world belongs to the Philadelphia club of the American league. They cinched the big pen nant fast yesterday by 7 runs to 2 for tho Chicago Nationals, and there was none In the big overflow crowd to say they had not won it fairly and squarely. Five games wore played, and the eastern youngsters look four of them by outbattlng, out fielding, and out rushing the veteran Chicago Cubs. They "got the Jump" at the start, and although Oil' ago punctuat ed their progress with a defeat yeeter terday it really didn't change the situ ation a bit. The Phlladelphiana were due. They won the American league banner In 1902, but there was no world's series that year. Five years ago the New York Nationals were too strong for them. So in this year of grace It waa not' In the cards that they were to be denied. Nineteen thousand delirious enthu siasts, driven almost insane by a ninth Inning tie and ten Inning vlotory, saw the Chicago Natlnals "come back" Saturday and capture the fourth game of the world's series from the Phila delphia, Americans 4 to 2. The combat was one to live In his tory. There was not a moment In It when a properly Interested partisan could draw a calm, full breath. It waa anybody's game until the Mulsh, when a double, an out and a single put the winning run across the plate. Up to Chicago's half of the ninth the score stood I to 2 In favor of the visitors. It looked as If the Istter would perform the record breaking feat of capturing four straight games In a world's series and take th pen nant home with them. A number of Phlladelphiana went so far as to make sleeping car reservations for the night As events turned nut certain reserved berths. Chicago to Philadelphia, were not occupied when the train pulled out. THE WEATHER. For Ashsvllle und Vicinity Fair and warmer tonight and Tuesday. For North Carolina Fair tonight and Tuesday.
