Excessive READING,

Hardly as bad as that, we think; but
there is a good deal of truth in the aver
ment. Because the fetch worshiper is
round among men whose boast is that
they never read a book, and there are
even those who make a fetch out of that
popularity. However, it may be doubt
ful II large share of the reading of the
day is of real benefit to the reader. Much
OF what passes for reading is not reading:
1t Is merely Vacuous glancing along the
page. We see. people take up a maya
reading of interest and worth, and we
see them skim, skim, skim; here stop

able. Amongst those of our colonists
who see in system of preference a
development of their trade with Great
Britain it is undeniable that there is
strong volume of opinion in favor Of
a partial tariff union with the mother
country upon a protective basis. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, for example, welcomed
the imposition Of the aorn tax in Eng
land, because he regarded England's
new policy as a measure of protection,
and considered that by It's adoption the
field would be clearer for the establish

Special to The Globe.

DUBLIN, Jan. 3.-At the recent
meeting Of that most Irish of Irish in
situations, the (Trinity) College Histor-
ical society, some interesting state
ments as to the standing of Irish
jurists, scholars and statesmen on the
imperial federation scheme were venti-
lated.
The premier speech Of the evening
was made by the auditor, James An
drews, B. A. In it he said: IF our
complex and widely divided empire is
to be held together it is essential, as
Mr.. Patchett Martin said, that the
jewellers at it's periphery shall be under
no disabilities as compared with their
fellow subjects at it's center. There
never was a moment in our empires
history when the vision of imperial
federation seemed more surely to be
clothing itself with the garments Of
reality. The time is propitious for a
movement to federate the empire. The
motion, once centrifugal, has now be-
come centripetal. The intercolonial
federal movement, which has recently
witnessed the birth of. the great Aus
tralian commonwealth, is a step to-
wards rather than a step away from
imperial unity, for we can deal with
colonies in three or four groups where
it would be impossible to treat with
them individually. The first steps,
however, towards the federation of the
empire must be pernissiYe. Compul-
sion would only excite hostile feelings.
The absence at first of one or two
members from the family circle should
be regarded as in no wise more fatal
to imperial federation than the refusal
Of New Zealand to confederate with
Australia has been to the formation of
the Australian commonwealth.
Imperial federation is the means by
which it is proposed to replace the
silken tie by the rigid iron bar. 1t is
an endeavor to accomplish on a far
grander scale for the British empire a
federal union similar to that which at
present binds together into one great
nation the United States of America.
Looking at the question in it's broadest
aspect, it is surely necessary, if the
scattered members of the empire are
to find one real national life in inn

Freedman Loose AGAIN.


True to his dog-in-the- manager repu-
tation Andrew Freedman, the New
ork baseball. magnate, who has never
overlooked. an opportunity to injure the
standing of the national. game. has,
through his agents John T. Brush,
started a move that promises to spoil
completely all the good work. accom-
pnshed by the more fair-minded and
conservative leaders of the baseball
world.
Last Sunday the long and bitter war
between the National and American
leagues Was- reported ended. The peace
commissioners at the end of their con-
ference announced to the world that
peace had been decided upon.sS~ s
The announcement surprised the
baseball PUBLIC, for they had heard the
notice served by the New York club
relative to any attempts to take Dele
shanty from the ranks of the Giants and
when they read in. the official report
that peace had been agreed upon and
saw Delehanty's name in the list of
players assigned to the washington
club all believed that Freedman had
reformed.
They were mistaken.
3 freedman, and Brush, too, had a
chance to bury a past career soreiy in
need of burial, but the man who was
small enough to resent cri tieisn by
locking ms DaI1 PARK gales against
newspaper man could not or would not
arise to the occasion, and, still the
petty. crouch, has pulled Brush into
line and started trouble
Freedman allowed the world to be-
lieYe that he had retired from baseball
when John I. Brush assumed the lead
ership Of theaNeW York club.ssbut this
attempt to- save a few things for the
Giants at the expense of peace has
Freedman written all over it.
Freedman, though out of the game,
declared when he heard Of the peace
terms that the New York club had been
insulted, and broadly limited that some
thing might be thrown in the way of
the parade of reunited Sclub owners.
Now Brush has secured an injunction
restraining President Pulliam from rat
flying the peace agreement.
The attitude of the New York men,
Freedman and Brush, is the personifca-
ton of narrow minded, bu1l-headed
meanness. Rather4than give up one
ball player the prFe3eus pair would
compel the continuation of a strife that
is bound to wreck something or some
body if allowed to work out to it's own
end g@5-s4sg 81 81 ss-,-
Delehanty is the only thing the New

party to any agreement to recognize

peace, New York will have an Ameri-
can league team.
This proposed peace agreement
would, If ratified, protect the National
league from future raids, would pro-
tect their territory not already marked
by the American league, and reduce
competition in the two-club towns by
compelling non-conflicting schedule.
All this, and against all this Freed

but it is evidently a waste of time to
attempt to convince the man and his
agent, and the courts will without
doubt decide whether it is to be peace

Why Champions Fail.
The announcement that Young Cor
bett and Austin Rice fought for eigh-
teen rounds at Hot Springs compels
the growing belief that there would be
more successful matches between the
champions in the different classes Of
the fight game if the pug leaders did
not appreciate the value of space given
them in the newspapers.
Terry McGovern and Young Corbett
Travelled all over the East in search Of
spot where a fight could be pulled off
without arousing some governor or
other state official to action. They
found clubs willing to offer purses and
signed articles, but always to the same
end. The proposed fight was stopped
after the papers had reported in detail
the movements of the pugs, their hopes,
fears and future plans.
Young Corbett and Austin Rice were
permitted to go through with their bout
at Hot Springs, and yet Terry Meow
ern and the featherweight champion
could not and claim they cannot find a
place for fight
1t is the same thing in the other
classes. The champions always appear
able to carry through their fights with
second-raters and dubs, but invariably
discover some hitch when matched to
meet fighter who looks able to out
the name of new champion on the
tablets.
This is because almost every cham
p1on is using his title to make good his
collection of easy money from the ones
willing to pay for a chance to see the
man who licked some former cham
pion.
Defeated by new conner this graft
would be gone forever. Arranging
matches with championship timber is
sure, If properly advertised, to hold the
interest of the ones holding the easy
money. Having the matches spoiled
at the last moment enables them to
continue the collection without dan
ger.
