THE WICKERSHAM CASE.

On Monday, April ?, Senator Nelson presented the (adverse) report of the subcommittee to the senate judiciary committee in the Wickersham case. The entire day was given to considera tion of the report, most of the time be- ing taken up by Senator Nelson himself in arguments hostile to the judge. At the conclusion of that days argument the hearing was adjourned for week i; and so from week to week it was car ried over to Monday, April l6. On that day dispatches said the judiciary com mittee would probably report ''tomor- row." April r.. Nothing more has been heard of the matter, and it is altogether likely it was postponed for another week.
 The situation is plain. To prevent d favorable report by the judiciary com mittee flibustering tactics are adopted and the interests of Alaska are passed up.
 The principle-or lack of it-that in huences Senator Nelson in the course he is pursuing is illuminated by his recent advocacy of Carl NJ. Johanson for governor of Alaska. JohansOn knew Wickersham. was his friend, and wanted him confirmed as judge. If Wicker sham was bad .Inhan~on Was vile-and Nelson knew it. Yet Johanson was Nelson's choice for governor of this people for whom Nelson is so proiusc in his professions of friendship.

HE DEFENDS
OUTLAW BASEBALL

1.-THE organized baseball of today Is
nothing more or less than clever plan
by which the players are held in a semi
bondage, sold, bought, traded and traf.
licked about like lot of prize steers
ut country fair says Dutch Uncle -
the celebrated Minneapolis baseball au-
thority. THE player is subjected to
all sorts of rules, regulations and
creeds, but has little or nothing to say
about his own affairs He is sold out
of minor into major leagues or from
major to minor and has nothing to say.
He can pack his grip and go or get out
of organized baseball
every agreement has its foundation
or should have its basis in equity.
There is about as much equity in the
average baseball contract as in the
proceeding wherein the strong arm in
the alley gets the watch of the wayfar
ing citizen. The cit gives up the
watch or gets clout in the head The
ball player gets up and does as his
master demands or he gets out of or
gained baseball.
The high court of baseball rests in
the national commission. This is made
up of league presidents and club own
ers-interested parties to almost every
dispute that comes up. These men
may try as best they can to be fair in
settling all disputes between clubs and
players. but self interest or the inter-
ests of league or friends must have
some influence in their decisions. The
men would not be human did they not
waver toward the side in which their
interests and Friendships are vested.
THE only way to overcome this con-
dition of affairs is the appointment of
a national commission, the members of
which have nothing to do in baseball.
no financial interests at stake, and let
them decide cases purely upon their
merits.

such a condition. when HOstetter's
