All in the Motive

xKTHEN thing seems too good to be true, look vW at the motive or reason behind it and you will be safe in accepting or rejecting it.
 For instance, here is an offer of choice residence lots at S2oo to $500 each in growing city of 5ooo inhabitants located in the very heart of the mineral region of Alabama. And the terms only $Io cash and payments of $5 month, without interest or taxes. Those prices would be cheap in any town of 4ooo or 5000 inhabitants, wouldn't they? And the terms---Wel there MUST be something behind them. There s and it's just this: The Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land Company are the largest owners of property in the city of Besseme. Naturally they wish to see the city grow and develop, and instead of appropriating certain for advertising it. they have set apart one thousand choice residence lots which they will sell at g per cent below actual value in order to attract settlers and to interest people pec niariIy-which is to say most vitally---in the city. They believe they will get the best results this way, and they are right
 They wouldn't have you act "sight, unseen If you come to Bessemer and buy many five lots at the minimum price of $2oo each, paying 20 per cent of purchase in cash they will refund your transportation to Bessemer and return home at any point in Alabama. Mississippi or Georgia.

Man With the Muck Rake.

mdH WILT ttlC mbSh hdNC'
 Tn Bunyans Pilgrims Progress you may recall the description- of the Man with the Muck-ralSe the man who could look no way but downward with the muck-rake In his hand: who was offered celestial crown for his muck-rake but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued toIrake to himself the filth of the floor
 Tn Pilgrims Progress the Man wieh the Moderate is set forth as the exam pie of him whose vision is fixed on carnal instead of on spiritual things. Yet he also typifies the man who in this life consistently refuses to see aught that is lofty. and fixes his eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing. Now. it is very necessary that we should not finch from seeing what is vile and debasing. There is filth on the floor, and it must be scraped up with the muck-rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks Or writes save of his feats with the muck-rake speedily becomes, not help 10 society, not an indictment to good, but one of the most potent forces for evil.
 There are in the body politics. econom- ic and social. many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the stern est war upon them. There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man. whether politician or business man. every evil practice. whether in politics. in business or in social life. hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker. every man who, on the pla;- form, or in book. magazine or newspaper with merciless severity makes snch at tack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if 1t is absolutely truthful. The liar is no whit better than the thief. and if his mendaclty takes the form of islander. he may be worse than most thieves. It puts premium upon knavery untruthrully to attack an honest man, or even with hSsterical exag aggeintlon to assali a bad man with untruth. An epidemic of indiscriminate assault upon character does not good. but very great harm. The soul of every scoundrel Is gladdened when ever an honest man Is assailedf or even when a scoundre is untruthfully as sailed.

Ex-Fiend Seems to Know
What lie is Talking
About

one who signs himself Ex-Flend, writes
to the Sporting Editor Evening journal
and says: Several years ago the gentle
men who control the destinies of baseball
passed a rule making a foul BAN strike
This IN my estimation was the most un-
fortunate and nl-adylsed rule that the
Committee on Rules ever passed.
II practically gives the batter but one
strike and has made the pitcher so all
powerful that the game has lost a great
deal of It's former interests.
What the average persons wants who
goes to a ball game is actlon-penty OF
batting, fielding and base running; but
with no hitting action is impossible.
on the Fourth of July there were fifteen
games played in the National and Ameri-
can leagues. IN which aSi players took
part. OF these 2S6 players, 103 struck out
lSS failed to make hit, and i5 made only
one hit apiece. Out of the 2S6 men who
faced the pitcher only 50 made two or
more hits. Thirteen teams made As hits.
Further criticism is supernuous"

The news proved a great disappointment
TO Mr. Ainscow, who had his craft in the

accident as the Nitrogen had been work
sng fine all day. Just how soon repairs
can be made TO the boat Is not known as

gine builders for a duplicate shaft. The
news Of the accident spread like wildhre
and a large number Of motor boat en-
thusiasts who had a pleasant day IN view
went TO bed last night very much disap-
pointed
Many persons from Chester, Philadei-
phia. Pennsgrove and other nearby points
had signined their Intentions Of seeing
the race and it would have been tha
biggest affair Of its kind ever held in this

As soon as repairs are made to the

ALL GREAT
BALL PLAYERS
DeIehanty Family Stands
Foremost in Playing Ma
tiOnaI Game

When it comes to a question Of family
baseball the name of Delehanty, Of which
Joe Delehanty, Of the williamsport base
BAN team, is member stands foremost
in the public eye No other family in the
history of the national game has had so
many representatives on the diamond. and
no other family in America to-day has
i've Of its members playing the game be-
ing in the major organizations and three
in the minor leagues. These Delehanty
boys were all born in a frame house at
AZ Phelps street. Cleveland, and every fan
when the season has ended the five who
survive return to their home and spend
the winter with their parents.
Naturally the chief distinction achieved
by the Delehanty family in baseball was
due to the noteworthy performance Of tie
eldest son. Edward, who as a batsmanI
was at once the pet Of his club manager
and the dismay to the opposing pitchers.
Even at the time OF the unfortunate oc-
currence that resulted in his dta.h tue
falling off the bridge over the Niagara
river near Buffalo, he still was hitting the
BAH with great force and frequency.
Ed Delehanty batted well over $40 sea-
son after season. and he win go down in
baseball history as one of the worlds
greatest batsmen. He easily ranked with
Anson. Brouthers Iajo.e and h.tters ~
their class. While Delehanty, like almost
all hard hitters was not an expert field
er, still nc could cover first base or the
outheld in an acceptable manner. But his
batting made up for any DEFICIENCIES in
the matter Of fielding, and he always was
regarded as one of the most valuable
players in the country.
He was one Of the giants Of the game,
standing over six feet and Weighing close
to 200 pounds in good condition. For the
major portion Of his career he was with
the Philadelphia National League club.
and was conspicuous in that great cluster
of hitters which included Lajoie, Sam
( Thompson Flick. Cooley and others. Des-
] pite the heavy stick work of that superb
combination they never were able to land
the Gag for the Quakertown club.

The ordinance could not affect the
present inspectors salary, but would
add to his power.
Then too the power conferred by the
new ordinance is greater than that at
present conferred, and it is claimed
that in its exercise an INSCRIPTIONS
inspector could make it work the
greatest hardship to those whom he
desired to punish or affect.
1t is the opinion of many that
civil service system should be inaugu-
rated in the city and that certain offi-'
cials whose duties involve a technical
knowledge along any line should be
included in the list
Such officials they say should in
clude the city engineers, the street
commissioner. the building inspector,
milk inspector, meat inspector, oil in
spector, and others whose duties re-
quire any special technical knowledge.

NO OBJECTION
TO BANK WALLS
Building Inspector After Con-
ference Permits Work
TO Go On

Building Inspector William NJ. Con-
nelly after a conference last evening
with Charles NJ. Curtis, counsel for
the Union National Bank, John d.
Thompson, Jr., the architect, W. d.
Haddock and w. n. Overdeer. the
builders withdrew his objection to the
erection of the new bank building at
Eighth and MaAlet streets.
AT the conference the plans were
gone over and the foundations were
found to be of the size required by the
present ordinance and the wall to
which the chief objection was made
is not foundation nor does it support
the building.
Although concrete and reinforced
concrete building material is not pro-
vided for in the ordinance. Inspector
Connolly passed the matter over as
technical and so long as the founda-
ton walls were sufficient in size no
further objection would be made and
the work will proceed.
In the case of the objection made bv
the Building. Inspector to the erection
lof the dupont office building no action
was taken last night. Representatives
Of the Manufacturers Contracting
Company appeared at city Hall pre-
pared TO file a protest against the
decision of the inspector. A quorum
of the committee was not present and
( the matter will be brought up Tonight.
The contractors for the dupont build
ing make one of their reasons for ap-
peal that the building permit was
issued according to plans submitted
and that the brick work on the walls
can proceed. 1t is likely that a special
meeting of the Building Committee win
be held before the regular meeting of
council and some plan devised for
meeting the present situation as re-
CARDS these new buildings. The in
spector declares he is in an unpleasant
situation in the matter and is pressing
for some action by Council.

OPPOSITION TO
BUILDING Law

If the building ordinance succeeds
in getting out of the law committee
before Council in its present form it
will meet with some strenuous oppo-
sition both as to the power conferred
upon the Building Inspector, who is
made a car in building matters. and
as to the salary provided for himself
and clerk in addition to keeping a
team for his use while performing his
duties.
As has been pointed out several
times in The Evening Journal the new
ordinance makes the Building Inspector
The highest paid city official in VIII
mington. The salary provided is s2,50O
per annum. clerk at 1920 and s25
per month for care Of a team, This
is $1,000 more than the mayors salary,
