Tristate Averages i'm the North
American

You are interested in the Tristate
League. Next to knowing the scores
of the games, you want chance to
find out how the men are hitting and
fielding, the analysis that explains the
victories and defeats.
The Philadelphia North American
carries the complete batting and field
ing averages on its Tristate page every
Sunday. These averages are prepared
especially for the North American, and
it is the only paper which has this
feature. You can keep track of your
favorites, and settle many an argument
by having these figures close at hand,
from week to week.
Their accuracy was established last
year by the closeness with which the
final compilation paralleled the official
figures issued by President Carpenter,
one month after The North American
printed its final figures for the season.

Rate of Interest

The mayor and common council of
Salem being of the opinion that the
rate of seven per cent. per annum on
overdue taxes is insufficient, have in
creased it to twelve per cent. says the
Trenton Times. ''There is no doubt
statutory authority for this increase,
but it does not appear at all consistent
for the state while fixing the legal
rate of interest at six per cent. and
providing severe penalties for usury,
to authorize municipality to exact
double the rate. 1t is setting a bad
example. Any city or town with good
credit can borrow all the money it
needs at five or six per cent. A better
plan to adopt is to allow discount for
prompt payment and compel the tax
collector to strictly enforce the law
against delinquents."

Letter to j. q. Coombs,
Wildwood, n. j.

Dear Sir: If you should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd have
a pretty-good business, wouldn't you :?
We have just such business as that
in paint gallon goes further than
any other gallon of paintin the country
that's bread at less cost by the day;
but the difference isn't SO small as it Is
in bread. And job wears longer
that's bread at less cost by the year.
People hate to paint it costs money
to paint and they hate the fuss. They
like our bread by the year.
If your bread is better than anybody
else's, and costs less too, you've got a
good trade; for people do like good
bread; and people like money. 1t
doesn't take long to find-out; give 'em
time.
But you can't bake better-than-any-
body-else's bread for half the usual
price for breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that. The
price by the gallon or loaf is no matter.
Count by the day week month lifetime.
Devoe is the bread We hope yours is
as good.
Yours truly,
"a f. w. DEvoE & Co.

r. JOURNAL TALKS
"A TO ADVERTISERS
Small Beginnings

A Philadelphia builder, whose
name is as familiar to most of
us as the names of the principal
streets, began his career, says the
Philadelphia Record" after some
experience as boss carpenter,
by putting up two houses. Add
ing the profits to his original
capital, he erected six more; then
sixteen; and now, in partnership
with another operator, he runs
up dwellings by the row. That
is the way most of the successful
advertisers of to-day started out.
They didn't begin with whole
pages in the newspapers-that
came afterwards. There is no
reason for any merchant to feel
difident about participating in the
profits of publicity because he
can't afford to make great splurge
at the outset. The gains from a
two-inch "ad" lay the foundations
for four inches-if the right
medium is chosen.
The Journal" is the right
medium to reach those interested
in Five Mile Beach.

The Prudential's New Age Limit

Senator Dryden has celebrated his
resumption of actice business relations,
after some weeks of illness. by the
promulgation of resolutions passed by
the Board of Directors of the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company granting con-
cessions this year to policyholders of
far-reaching Importance and of vast
interests to the insurance world. BY
an edict which goes forth today, every
Industrial policyholder in the Pruden-
tial who has attained the age of 70
years will be presented with a free and
paid-up policy for the full amount of
insurance. In other words, no further
payment of premiums will be required
after the age limit of rs years has been
reached, no matter how much longer
the insured may live.
''These concessions" said Senator
Dryden in explanation today, twill
relieve holders of a great many thou
sands of policies from the payment of
any further premiums, costing the
company over $750,00O and con-
tinuance of this policy during the next
ten years, it is estimated, over three,
and one-quarter millions of dollars.
They will, l understand, affect pro-
portionately more policies than a
similar change in any other Industrial
VoIaniaey; e4H they y si a1 lhs lgdlt o.
any legislative action, present or pros
pective, but entirely in line with the.
general practice of the Prudential to
benefit the policyholders in anything
that can safely be done beyond what
the contract calls for. The company
has already made voluntary concessions
in the form of increased benefits, cash
and mortuary dividends, more liberal
paid-up policies, ETC., of more than
eight millions of dollars and their con-
tinuance from year to year will neces-
sarily involve very large additions to
this amount.
"There has been much new legisla-
tion upon the subject of life insurance
and many important measures have
been passed, while many others are
still pending. While it is too early to
forecast the future effect of the new
laws, the Prudential may be relied
upon to meet the situation in a spirit
of utmost fairness. Not only has the
company always done what it was
legally required to do, but it has gone
far beyond the mere letter of the law
and in the most liberal spirit has ex-
tended to the policy holders the priv
ileges and advantages of one concession
after another. In other words, the
company has always tried to do moro
than the law required and it may be
relied upon to continue SO to do. In
its final analysis statute requirements
at the best are a declaration of broad
and general principle administration
and in the execution of details
successful company must necessarily
be governed by higher law than a
statute-a moral obligation which calls
for the most liberal treatment of the
insured, compatible with safety.

ORIENTAL LABOR

H HAT the United States is laying up
trouble for the future in connec-
4 tion with the Japanese situation
by enforcing the fishing treaty with
England is the firm conviction Of a
writer, in Golfers. He says:
1.-THE perversity of the Gloucester
fishermen has led to consequences that
may prove serious for the United
States. AS they refused to permit a
friendly arrangement that would have
allowed them all the privileges they
wanted in Newfoundland waters in ex-
change for the free admission Of New
foundland fish to the American market,
the relations of the two countries have
come down to question of legal rights.
1t is provided by treaty that American
fishermen may do certain things. They
assert that these rights are infringed
by laws passed by the Legislature of
Newfoundland. The government of the
United States. taking up their case,
has called upon the British govern
ment to make good its treaty obliga-
tions regardless of local laws 1t is now
announced that an agreement has been
reached to submit the questions in dis
pute to The Hague tribunal. Pending
decision the fisheries are to be con-
Quoted under last years modus vivendi.
'This is case in which victory is
as much to be dreaded by the United
States as defeat--perhaps more so We
are asking a body of foreign jurists to
override local government in the in
depreciation of a treaty. Very likely
they will do so. They would have a
natural tendency that way. But when
at our request they have laid down the
lines on which the British government
must execute a treaty over the head of
the self-governing colony of Newfound-
land it will be hard to see just what
answer we can make to Japan when
she asks us to invite the same jurists
to prescribe the manner in which we
shall execute our treaty with her over
the head of the self-governing state of
California. England's embarrassment
will be no less If her ally asks her to
submit to The Hague tribunal the
conduct of Australia and the Transvaal
toward Japanese immigration.
1.-THE United States and Great Britain
are in the same boat in the matter OF
their relations with their states and

STANDARD OIL DRIVES
OUT OHIO MOSQUITOES
Company Is Not Public Benefactol
from Choice, but Through
Leaks in Its kingsbury
Refinery

! CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 9.-Standard
Oil, poor, maligned Standard Oil, has
made Cleveland the mosquitoless Eden the
town is. So declares Health officer Fried
rich, who insists on giving credit where
credit is due.
But Standard Oil Is no willing public
benefactor. 1t irks the philanthrophy it
works, and does its best to unshoulder its
kind offices toward grateful community,
but oil will persitst in escaping from its
Kingsbury run refinery and flowing down
into the river.
MANY people look upon the Standard
Oil refinery as nuisance" said Friedrich
yesterday. 'It may be to some, but as a
matter of fact we would suffer greater
nuisance were it not in existence Cross
ing the river this morning l noticed that
the water was oily. Some people in the
car thought the oil came from the Stand
ard works and declared that the city
ought to get after the trust Certainly too
much oil ought not be permitted to gather
in the river
"As a matter of fact, however, it is
this oil that keeps mosquitoes away from
Cleveland. Other cities along the lakes
suffer very much from mosquitoes at this
period of the year. Cleveland is prac-
tically free from them.
1.-THE oil from Standard OIL Keeps them
away. You know in New Jersey and else
where the people spend thousands of dol
lars for oil in an effort to exterminate the
pest. Were it not for the Standard plant
here I would not be surprised but that
some such expenditure would be necessary
here. Yes, believe the Standard plant
has been good thing for Cleveland. par
ticularly with reference to the mosquito
question:
Occasionally when the oil gathers in too
large quantities the fire department noti-
fies the refinery, and men are sent along
the river to scoop the oil up. 1t tries hard
to prevent the escape of oil, but it will
filter away.

self-governing colonies on the one hand
and with foreign nations ON the other.
Their position is extremely delicate.
Logically 1t is simple enough. They
have unlimited power to enforce their
treaties throughout the extent of their
dominions. Foreign nations have a
right to demand that they exercise that
power. But when It comes to the prac-
tical point of coercing Australia or
California to adopt a policy Of intense
local unpopularity because a foreign
tribunal says that course is required
by a treaty, British and American
statesmen feel inclined to 'side-step'
the issue as long as possible"
Since the foregoing was written the
situation has grown much more COM
plicated by the Bellngham riots. where
hundreds Of orientals, who are also
British subjects, were beaten and many
of them driven out of the United
States.
The anti-Japanese demonstrations in
Vancouver, where Canadians have as
saulted both subjects of the milxado
and of the Chinese empire, also add to
the complication.
There is an underlying economic
cause for these outbreaks, but up to
this time little seems to have been done
by United States or Canadian author
tiles to discover the fundamental rea-
sons. Their method seems to be to
gaze at the effect, placidly ascribe It to
race hatred" and then, after the harm
is done, move slowly in their steps to-
ward policing the vicinity of the riots.
The damage to property was much
greater in the Vancouver riots than in
the San Francisco demonstration.
Director Ishii of the commerce and
trade department of foreign affairs and
other distinguished Japanese officials
seem to have had a narrow escape from
death at the hands of the enraged
Canadians, and the end is not yet in
sight.
The problem of oriental labor on the
Pacific coast will not remain settled
until 1t is settled right.
