B. Team, City:
Dear Sir
Through an accident your team de-
feated the Merchants last Thursday. l
therefore insist on return game, as
feel that the best team lost. Every fair
minded person will agree with me when
| say that Centerfielder Gordon acclden-
tally hit the ball in the ninth inning,
and in that way a game that should have
been won by us ended in your favor.
NV star fielder, Mr.. Fricke, did not
get chance to hit a home run last
game, but he has had his eyes worked
upon, and now says that he will posi-
lively hit nothing but home runs.
would, therefore, advise your insisting
that over the fence is out.
The only condition that | would ask
is that you let me strengthen my team,
and in the place of Jos. McGinn will
insist on having that peerless outhelder
and slugger, Emile Lubeigt; and in the
place of Joseph McGinn will insist on
having the slugger and fleet footed
Fred. Banderet, who, when it comes to
sliding to bases, will make your right
fielder Webb feel cheap; even in the
star slide he made in the last game from
first to second.
Assuring you that all I ask is re-
turn game, l am,
Respectfully, yours,
BLANKS TURNER,
Manager Merchants Base Ball Team.
Mr.. Blanks Turner, Manager Merchants
Base Ball Team, City.
Dear Sir
Your letter of even date to hand and
contents noted. I am very much sur
prised that you should take your defeat
so hard and should claim that the drive
made by my outfelder, Gordon, in the
ninth inning was an accident.
To he frank with you, Outfielder Cor
don had been begging me all through
the game for permission to make such
drive, but, realizing that the proper
time had not come, until the ninth in
ming, I refused permission until that
inning. can assure you that, if Cor
don only knew that you called that
magnificent drive of his an accident,
he will feel angry and, in our return
game will do nothing but bat out home
runs, and, for your benefit, as know it
would set you to drinking, will agree
that over the fence is out.
will agree to return game if you
will let me, like yourself. strengthen my
team, and, in the place of E. Ansley,
you will let me put Geo. r. Rea, whose
reputation as a ball player you have, no
doubt, heard of. / also desire to put
Steele Drake in place of Robert Muir
tagh. This do because realize that
with Mr.. Murtagh we would defeat you,
and, in order to make things even, will
sacrifice this player for good game.
/ am glad to see that you have been
fair to such a point as to acknowledge
the sliding ability of our right-fielder.
will agree to play this return game
on Thursday, June 25th, the proceeds to
90 to the Catholic Church. Admission

THE BAN ON

DR.. Wiley, the head of the bureau
Of chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture, reports encouraging prog
ness in his efforts t arouse congress
to a sense of the necessity of passing
laws against the importation of abb
sinthe into this country. He has fur
nished the ways and means committee
with data showing the increase in the
use of absinthe in this country and
with the opinions of eminent physi-
clans on the harmful effects of ex-
cessive indulgence in it.
The strongest protest against abb
sinthe is the record of Switzerland and
France in suppressing its manufacture
or restricting its use. Nearly all the
abslnthe consumed in the world is
manufactured in either France or
Switzerland. Its use was brought into
France some fifty years ago and has
become 80 general that the ~decadence
of the French people is largely at
tributed to it. The French authorities
have prohibited the consumption of
absinthe in the army and navy and
are planning to tax it out of the reach
of the common people. In Switzer-
land the people have voted against
the manufacture or THE liquor and its
sale is prohibited. under strong pen
alties.
Absinthe is a product of NORWOOD,
distilled in alcohol and made pleasant
to the taste by the addition of anise
oil. It's first effect, according to ex-
pert physicians, is an ~exhilarated in

THE AN1HRAoITE coMAnssIoN.

n NV ENNAh0AAE NOAuAAAooAbANa
The anthracite coal miners of
Pennsylvania have demanded that the
Board of Cancellation. established by
the Coal Strike commission, as a re-
suit Of the great coal strike in 1902,
be abolished when the present agree
ment expires by limitation next April.
The strongest argument in favor of
the retention OF the commission is the
work II has done. In the last three
years the Board of Cancellation has
considered $50 complaints, of which
1919 were disposed of in the period
covered by its latest report. OF the
complaints, s~eyenty-four we're dis
missed by the board or withdrawn by
the miners, eleven we're sustained,
eight were compromised, fourteen
were settled before the final hearing
by the board, twenty were passed upon
by an umpire, who sustained four and
rejected the others.
AS a net result there has not been
a strike in the anthracite region in
three years, the men are better sat
isfied than they have been before in
years and there is no serious differ
ence of any kind between the mine
operators and the workmen. In the
old days any one of the $50 COM
plants might easily have led to a
strike which would have tied up the
entire anthracite mining industry.
The abolition Of the board would be a
check to the splendid progress that
has been made toward better working
relations between the miners and the
operators.

INAUGURATION DAY.
Persistent Local Agitation for Change
of late.

Oh DhAes
Washington Str.
The senate has gone on record in ap-
proval of the plan to change the date Of
the inauguration day, but the house has
never voted on It. From session to ses-
sion 1t has remained in committee, with
an occasional revival of interest on the
part of Individual members. Yet it may
be confidently asserted that a majority
OF the members approve of the PROPOSE
tion and would vote for it II it came be-
fore the house In form for final disposal.
But the years pass without action. The
Joint resolution remains one of the peren-
NAL items OF unfinished business because
nobody in the house feels sufficiently con-
cerned to move actively and perslstently
emily to get It out Of committee.
Nothing can be done by the states to-
ward a change of date until congres
acts. That body alone can initiate single
amendments OF the constitution, a two
thirds vote being necessary to effect their
submission to the legislatures. Yet there
is a strong sentiment in favor OF the
change outside of Washington. Every
person who has been nipped by the eager
air Of early March in this city at an in
auguration-and there are hundreds of
VI oNAAA RNA
suaded that the date is a mistake. Wash
ingtonians hoped a few years ago. when
the governors of the states were formed
into a general committee to effect this
change, that the national sentiment in be-
half of the amendment would have an
effect on congress. But that body has
continued to hesitate, because of the fact
that the date problem is more or less COM

no one at the capitol is plucky or enter
prising enoug to d~isentangle from the
simple proposition to inaugurate the presi-
dent at a season when there will be no
possible menace to life.
Though too late to affect the %inaugura-
ton of 1903, this congress might never
theless insure a clement date for that of
1913 by adopting the joint resolution. There
could then be no further responsibility
upon the national legislature. Acquiescence
by three-fourths of the states would be
virtually assured. Inaction means a post
ponement to another congress, with its own
problems. Action means the, final disposal
of a question that will remain a potential
claim upon congressional consideration UNI
til 1t is finally settled. Delay stands in
evitably for the exposure of thousands Of
people to the possibility of disease and
death. Why wait longer to do hat which
is demanded by every consideration of nu-
manity and prudence2

OLD ORDER CHANGING.
Trend of New Movement
U~nmistakable.

FORWARD Trenu OF new movement
Unmistakable. !
William Allen White in American Magazine.
For ten years there has been a distinct
movement among the American people
feeble and imperceptible against the cur
rent during the first few years Of its be-
ginning-a movement which indicates that
in the soul of the people there is a convic-
ton of their past unrighteousness. Dur
ing the five years last past that movement
has been u~nmistakable. 1t is now one Of
the big self-evident things in our national
life. 1t is called variously reform. the
moral awakening, the new idea, the square
deal, the uplift and by other local cogno-
mems; but 1t is one current in the thought
Of the people.
And the most hopeful sign OF the time
lies in the fact that the current is almost
worldwide. The same striving to lift men
to higher things, to a fuller enjoyment of
the fruits OF our civilization. to a wider
participation in the blessings OF modern
society-in short to a more abundant life
the same striving is felt through Europe
and among the islands of the sea, that is
tightening the musclesS Of our social and
commercial and political body. n 1t may
be worth while to look about us and note
the changes tina are coming to us in the
days when they are in the making, for
The old order changeth, yielding place to
And God fulfills himself in many ways.
Lest one good custom should corrupt the
world.

AMERrcA,s SWEET ToOTH.

According to figures just fur
nished the federal bureau Of statistics,
the average American eats about half
his weight in sugar annually, the con-
sumption last year being in excess of
1000, 100000 pounds. or about sac
pounds per capita. compared with 5S.S
pounds per capita in 1900. The value
of the sugar consumed last year is
placed at 1912, O00. 900. OF this amount
2l per cent wal produced in this coun-
try and the balance imported. Do
nestle production has trebled since
1900, owing largely TO the develop
msnt of the beet sugar industry. but
the nation still has TO depend upon
foreign countries for about f~our-hfths
of its sugar.
The rest of the world goes much
lighter on sweet stun. The per capita
consumption OF sugar in Europe is but
81 pounds, or about one-third what II
is In America. The Turk consumes
