Are Publishers ''Pirates" and Readers
Receivers of Stolen GOods?"

The issue of Literature, Alden's illustrated
contains full reprint of the rather remark
able paper on International Copyright, re-
Gently published by Senator Chace, OF Rhode
Island, together with an extended and some
what spicy review of the same by Mr.. Alden.
Senator Cbace, being chairman of the COM
mittee which has charge of the bill now be-
fore the Senate, is naturally the one of all
others to be looked to as an authority, and
his paper on the question is an able, and
even brilliant one. Mr.. Alden is not an
tagonistic to the measure, but is in hearty
sympathy with the copyright movement; he
undertakes, however, sin the name of the
American people," to resent the charge so
commonly made, and by Senator Chace stat
ed in the strongest terms, that the publish
ers, buyers and readers of cheap editions of
Dickens and Tennyson, for instance. are
"p1rates," or "thleves," or the receivers
of Stolen goods" The case, according to
Mr.. Alden, is able to stand on honest and
common-sense grounds, even better than on
a false and libelous basis. People who are
interested to see the merits of a live topic
presented in a novel and vigorous way from
different standpoints, will be glad to send a
postal card for free specimen copy; and a
good many of them, when they re ceiye it and
see what bright, entertaining aud wonder
fully cheap magazine it is, will be glad to
send S1.00 and get it regularly during the
year. John B. Alden, Publisher, 1913 Pearl

BASE BALL.
Reply TO tile Wood County News.

The Wood County News of two weeks
ago, contained quite lengthy article in
consequence of the Crystal City Grsys
defeating our home club by such ter
rible score. 1t said that our boys did
not know how to play ball, and censur-
ed Umpire Clark for his "rotten deci,
IONS" claiming that had he decided
Alright, the home nine would not have
secured the last four scores. We will
say that two men got to second and
third respectfully on errors of the Grays
and were brought in home by Baird's
fine three bagger. The other two runs
were secured as legally and fair as the
proceeding, on errors committed by the
Grays. The Grays played better in the
field than our boys but they did moi
handle the bat SO effectually. We would
advise the b. G's to study the rules
more carefully before they play another
game. We find by referring to Spald-
ing's rs well as Reach's rules that the
foul lines run through thei base
lines, instead of fifteen feet from them
that the catcher is obliged to catch the
third strike when there is no man on
first, and also whether there is man on
first or not, If there are two men out
instead of not being obliged to catch the
third strike if there is no man on first
and to catch it when a man is on the
base. Also that the pitcher must stand,
on the rear line of the box, instead OF
standing anywhere so he is within the
box.
We think this is sufficient to show
how the Grays adhered to the rules
by taking advantage of our boy'i
ignorance of Spalding's. Manager
Finkbeiner challenged the Grays to play
game of ball on their own grounds
on May 25th, Qast Friday,) but Manage
Hankey claimed they could not play be
cause Reid's finger was not well. Whei
Manager Finkbeiner went to the Hub o.
that date he saw Reid practicing wit
as much activity as any of the rest. BE
sides we do not see why the Grays be
came short of players so suddenly. w
believe Bates used to catch once on
