British idea Of Base BAH.

Post, we are compelled to protest
against the laundering BritisheE
and his comment upon American
institutions. The London Outlook
is the offender on this occasion,
and its offense Is rank. u actual
IL enters a protest against baseball
as played in the United States be-
cause it is Tofensively noisy. y
1t admits, with the delightfully."-
patronizing air of the true BritOn,
that baseball is essentially ga real
" fine game" but it finds fault
with the crowd which nags the
players, with the players that
shout at the batter, with the coach
es who try to rattle the pitcher,
with the ''diabOlical din" Of the
bleachers, and with the whole
crowd for jumping upon'' the
umpire.
On behalf OF the American pub
lie the Post rejects, repudiates and
denies the justice, in whole and in
part, of this British comment.
Everybody knows that there is a
tendency among Americans to
make too much noise. The Post
has discussed this subject often.
The titles are altogether too noisy
most Of the racket being utterly
unnecessary. How shall the evil
be abatedi Maniiestly by pro-
viding a place somewhat remote
from the heart Of the city, where
the population may gather and re-
lieve itself Of the i%rrepressible de-
sire to make a noise. The base
ball game furnishes the gentle
stimulus under which the citizens
promptly and adequately unbur-
dens himself.
Anyone who has studied a base
ball crowd as it has dispersed after
an exciting game will testify to the
quiet, almost funeral demeanor Of
the people. Whether their team
won or lost, the crowd is quiet.
1t has emptied itself Of noise, and
feels infinitely better. Nerves
that were overcharged with the
electricity of modern life are re.
Taxed, sOOthed and refreshed. I'm
agine what the city would have
been if that pent.up roar had burst
downtown instead Of in the base
ball park! The racket would have
been internal and intOlerable.
1t is easy to understand that the
London Outlook would enjoy a 81
lent baseball game. That would
be the English style. They prefer
solemnity and gloom, like all peo-
pie who take their pleasure sadly.
We can almost, not quite, imagine
a silent baseball game, with the
umpire's d~eferential suggestions,
rather than decisions; the polite
and unanimous %aquiescence of the
crowd in the judgments, the bleach
ers crowded with urbane Alphon-
ses add GastOns intent upon pre-
serving silence and .decorum; the
rOoters plying their trade by ex-
changing cards upon which are
printed approximate criticisms of
the players, and the coaches stand
ing by the side lines stepped in
thought. We say we can almost
imagine suah a scene, but we can
not set it within the confines of the
United States. 1t would naturally
be set within the lugubriOus, rainy

God bless the girl who works!
She is brave, true and noble. She
is not too proud to earn her own
living or ashamed to be caught at
her task. She smiles at you ilom
behind the counter or printers
case. There is a memory Of her
sewed up in the silent gown. She
is like a brave mOuntaineer already
far up the precipice-climbing,
struggling, rejoicing. The sight
should be an inspiration to US all.
1t is an honor to know this girl
and be worthy Of her, young man,
as she passes by. Her hand may
be stained by dishwashing, sweep
ing, factory grease or printers

ing hand. 1t stays the misfortune

valid loved one, maybe; is a low
ing, potent shield that protects
many a family from the almshouse
All honor to the brave toiler. God
bless and protect the girl who

There has Just gone into effect
in Boston a new law making pro.
vision for dispOsing Of the cases Of
persons arrested on the charge Of
drunkenness. The design is "a
bring about their speedy release,
so that they may not lose their po-
sitions, aud to save time and ex-
pense for the courts.
The leading provisions Of the
law are as follows; A person ar
rested shall be detained until he
has recovered from his intoxica-
ton. Then he may make a writ
ten and signed statement, address
sed to the court having iurisdic-
ton, giving his name and address
naming the person (ii any de-
pending upon him for support, his
plate Of employment, telling whe-
Their he has been arrested for
drunkenness within the preceding
six months, and requesting to be
released from custody.
II the statements are found to be
true the person may be released
provided he has not been arrested
more than twice for drunkenness
within a year. Under these con-
ditiOns further proceedings are
suspended and the CAGE is dismis-
sed.
The authorities OF Boston have
been holding a conference on the
method Of putting the law into
operation. The consensus of opin
ion among them is that it is a wise
and practicable measure. Many
think that the change will be a
benefit to the right kind Of people,
considering that many uniOrtu-
mates get arrested for drunkenness
in a city like Boston, and that be-
sides the shame of going to court
in the morning they sometimes
lose their positions through it.
There can be no question of the
%advisability Of giving intoxicated
persons, not confirmed drunkards,
a chance to "get on their feet"
Such a course is much better than
pushing them further down the
path Of degradation. We should
think an experience with the BOs-
ton law would set them thinking
and encourage them to "brace up"
The results Of the experiment will
be observed with great interest.

sent 10 another treaty with the United
States providing for even the exclusion
Of Chinese laborers from this country.

lapse without the negotiations OF a new
agreement reports have reached here
that China is inclined hereafter 10 refuse
10 sign any similar convention.
China's position appears 10 be that the
