ROGERS WILL GO TO LAW.
FIELDER A. JONES.

Colonel John /. Rogers, of the Phil
adelphia Club, makes no bones of say
ing that he will take the League con-
tract into court. The loss of Lajoie
and Bernhard has aggravated him very
much; so much so, that when inter-
viewed by a Record" reporter the
other day he savagely said:
What will we do? What can we
DO? We will bring suit, of course,
when we are able to find out who we
are to bring suit against Who are
these people, anyway? An unincorpo-
rated body, without name, without
home or any known quantity Has
anyone seen one of their contracts?
Have they ever made the contents Of
one known to the general public
through the press?
who are these people who come
along and steal our players, after we
have paid fancy prices to secure their
release from other clubs? And yet
these are the people that are being
lauded to the skies by the newspapers
of this city. When the Philadelphia
club showed itself weak in any respect
these same papers called out for us to
loosen up and such like expressions,
urging us to purchase the release of
some particular star
Last season we were offered $4,000
| for Lajoie, but sooner than be called
| spectators we refused. Now these new
| people come along and steal him
without paying cent, and yet not one
of our Philadelphia papers has printed
a line in protestation. Is that fair
Is that manly? Certainly we will
bring suit when these people, who have
been doing business in hiding and un-
der cover come out and declare them
selves in the OPEN"
Another sore spot with Colonel
Rogers is that the number of local
conflicting dates created by the Am
erican league schedule. Anent that
point he sarcastically remarked tbs
other day that he could have made III
a schedule with less conflicting dates
call by his lonesome" than that ar
ranged by Ban Johnson and his loya
followers. The colonel forgets tina

THE oPTIoN CLAUSE.

Thanks to the controversy over the
National Leagues players contracts,
the sporting side of baseball is being
once more overshadowed by the bust
ness end. The lawyers are having a
pleasant, and probably profitable, in
ming, and the land is filled with their
conflicting claims and opinions
which settle nothing and serve but to
befog the public and bewilder the mag
mates. Amidst all this noise and con-
fusion the star ball player is the only
one who can't lose. no matter which
side wins.
That the National League, through
some one of its clubs, will make test,
however reluctantly, is assured for the
reason that it is absolutely necessary
to ascertain it's position for the future.
If the league contract should be ju-
dicially sustained the league would
have nothing to fear henceforth, so far
as It's players are concerned; it can
hold them indefinitely, and the Ameri-
can League will have to develop its
own players and educate the public at
Its own expense. If the league con-
tract is not legally valid, then no base
ball contract is valid anywhere, and
the rival magnates will have to get
together ere next fall, unless they wish
to risk putting themselves and their
investments completely at the mercy
of the player, and thus invite sure
ruin and chaos.
The only present alternative is for
each league to stand pat, on such base
ball law as remains. for one season,
with such players as each now has,
without the fearful risk of recourse to
law, and trust to the lessons of the
coming season to bring the warning
factions together, as one season of
strife will be pretty sure to round off
even the sharpest horns. 1t is prob
ably safe to say that both leagues
particularly the National League
now regret not having pursued diff
ferent course toward each other. But
all things considered, it would per-
haps be well to have the matter once
more threshed over in court, if only
to give the magnates a much-needed
lesson as to the great difference be-
tween legal learning and horse sense

THE CENSUS.
Its Modern Use Is Due TO the Initiative
of the United States

Its Modern Use Is Due to the Initiative
of the United States
The census was an important fea-
ture of the governments of ancient
Rome, Greece, Egypt, Persia and the
Babylonian empire A census of the
vast Roman empire and its dependen-
cies was in progress at the time of
the birth of Christ. But this enumer-
alton of population fell into disuse in
the Middle Ages. Down to the end of
tho 18th century even the most trust
worthy geographers had to depend en-
tirely upon guesswork in forming an
estimate OF the population of the vari-
GUS countries in Europe. 1t is to the
United States that may be said to be-
long the credit of reviving the census,
the constitution of 1887 including a
provision for census to be taken every
10 years. The enumeration was rem
dered necessary by the fact that the
population of the several states con-
stituted the basis of representation in
congress, and, while 1t is true that the
national census was incorporated in
the constitution from political rather
than philosophical considerations, 1T
must be confessed that this nation de-
serves the glowing eulogium of Mo-
reau de tonnes, who declared that
'the United States presents phe-
nomenon with parallel in history
that of a people who instituted the
statistics of their country on the very
day when they found their govern
ment, and who regulated by the same
instrument the census of inhabitants,
their civil and political rights and the
destinies of the nation"
