From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
st. Peter is on edge over Sunday base
ball.
Sunday ball is still worrying the st.
Peter city administration, but the task
of enforcing the law may be shifted to
the shoulders of the Nicollet county
grand jury. None of the offending play
ers have been arrested as yet, and it is
understood that they will not be molest-
ed until the district court convenes.
When the Waseca and st. Peter teams
played the game that has caused all the
trouble they did so in open disregard of
the orders sent out by Mayor Rounse-
vile, and every member of the local
club expected to be arrested Monday
morning. AS County Attorney A. A.
Stoen was out of the city no complaints
were issued.
During his absence the baseball ques
ton was up for consideration at spe-
cial meeting of the executive committee
of the Citizens league, the organization
which inaugurated the campaign that
elected Mayor Rounseville, and it is
said that the members left the matter
entirely with the mayor.
He had a conference with the county
attorney Immediately after the latter's
return, and it is understood that they
reached decision to make no effort to
take the eases into the justice courts, but
to lay them before the grand jury when
it meets in October. In the meantime
the baseball management is arranging
for a game with lie Sueur.

on the older life signalized in its
older residences and are never too
absorbed in business to participate
in the history-making of today.
That's the reason all those old
houses are so lovingly cared for and
marked so attractively.

SECULAR LEAGUE MEETING
REVIEWED BY Mr.. KENT

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
Will you kindly permit some correc-
tions of the item in your issue OF yes
terday, touching my address Of Sunday
before the Secular League7 The aim
of my paper was TO controvert the
theory of economic determinism, in its
fataIistic Interpretation, and to show
that Karl Marx, its repuIed author,
did not teach ii as now held and taught
by materialistic socialists.
1 conceded that economic considera-
lions of a personal and class Character
constitute a very important factor in
the shaping of human history, but de-
MED that they are the only factors. Mr..
Mackenzie, so far from controverting
my position, brought forward very per-
tinent illustrate in its support.
Indeed, my position was not assailed
by anyone. General Birney attributed
great shaping influence to military and
religious movements, to all of which I
heartily agreed
General Birney certainly did not in
tend to include me in his remarks about
narrow-minded ministers who want to
close all places of amusement on Sun
day and force all the people 10 go 10
church The general well knows that l
position to Sunday legislation, and
could not, therefore, have grouped me
with those fayoring il.
Hoping that you viii permit these
corrections, in justice to all concerned,

ufy our cities, but more important than

year, establishing a ratio of nine a day
That applies 70 this city alone.

The number throughout the country
who suffer death OF injury in the course
Of a year is $4,000. because public in
difference is such that there are no ade-
quate laws Nobody really knows the
full extent OF the sacrifice, because we
do not get full reports Only nine States
have legislation on the subject, and in
most Of these the laws are not enforced.

NJ Taylor Phillips. deputy comptrol-
Ter, spoke of the attitude of the city
authorities toward the work of the

they regarded IL almost as an arm Of
the city government, and looked TO il

monstroSities that We see in our parks

Standing Room Needed.

Citizens who needed to take a
north bound Connecticut avenue car
yesterday evening about O'Clock
had either TO wait twenty minutes
or ride on the fender of one of the
four cars which passed in the mean
time. There was no block On the
line There mad been no accident.
1t was only that the patronage of the
system was out of all proportion to
the service.
There was nothing unusual about
this. At o'clock in the evening
the passenger is more likely to get
a seat without letting four cars pass,
but he is certain TO wait for the
car he does get. At o'clock in the
morning he may expect both to do
without the seat and to let cars go
by too crowded 10 take him aboard.
During the Office rush, whether in
the morning or the evening, it is
conceivable that the management is
unable to operate enough cars to give
each passenger the accommodations for
which he pays. That is the situation
as to the Fourteenth street line and
II may easily be the situation at the
Connecticut avenue line. But the
Connecticut avenue line can run more
cars than it does without even ap-
proximating the service given on
Fourteenth street. In other words,
il may not be able to give seats to
all its passengers during the rush
periods. but that is no reason why
it should not run enough cars to
give all its patrons standing room

The Sights at Home.

An observation by Sir Purdon
Clark, manager of the Metropolitan
Art Museum, at a Press Club dinner
In New York the other night is made
the subject of interesting comment
by the Boston Journal. Sir Purdon
invited the attention of the diners
TO the fact that the president of their
club, who had lived in New York
forty years, had never been inside
the museum, and. further. that he
had heard of a family which had
lived across the street from the
museum for twenty years and yet no
member of it had ever inspected the
Metropolitan collections. All of
which moves the Journal TO say:
Far-off cows wear long horns" is a
homely saying of the old world. The
things at distance seem most worthy
Of note. those near at hand of little
value by reason of their ease Of ap-
preach. There are many highly re-
spected citizens of Boston who have
waxed eloquent in Independence Hall,
Philadelphia, and have examined with
patriotic pride the noble objects of in

never climbed Bunker Hill Monument

Campaign Contributions.

The discredited Andy" Hamilton
continues to get even" By drsE
ging down the regulations of other
and better men he hopes to be re-
facilitated TO some extent; or, il
nUt that, then to draw the fire
from himself to men who are able
to Withstand attack Some of Ham
ilton's talk has the ring of truth,
and when he produces vouchers TO
prove his charges. he is certainly
entitled to a fair hearing; ar least
until he is branded a liar and a
forger
AS if TO quiet any fears that the
men accused by Hamilton might
possibly have, District Attorney Je-
rome has filed a brief, in which he
holds that the giving of contribu-
tons TO political parties by officers
of insurance companies was not a
crime, because it cannot be proved
that such contributions were made
with felonious intent.
After all, the interest of the
American people is not so much
that insurance officers, following a
practice of long standing, have made
political donations, but that a stop
may be put to the practice-to the
practice of exacting contributions
from all corporations; from national
banks, and from private corpora
tons Such contributions are
vicious and indefensible.
A wholesome change is apparent.
Already members of Congress are
wondering where they are to get
the ''sinews of war" Let them do
without for a few campaigns, and
then they, too, will come to realize
that money, even when not used for
corruptful purposes. may be crimi-
nally wasted in political campaigns.
