Both games lacked the ginger" that
goes long way in making ball game IN

done with and quit his line of talk.
In the first game Sanger was on he
mound for the visitors and although nc
was touched for six safe ones they We're
so far apart that they did not figure in
the run column. Edmundson. new
pitcher obtained from the Baltimo. .e
Eastern League team, was on the firing
line for Wilmington and looks like
good one. He held the Jawns down to two
hits and famed three sluggers In the

The Timing Nuisanee.

After a fruitless endeavor to overcome
the evils Of the tipping habit among New
York barber shops, the best and most
satisfactorily conducted anti-tipping es-
tabllshment in the city has given up in
despair, reduced its BARRIERS wages to
the customary scale, kicked the lid OF,
and will proceed along the old and we'll
established lines heuceforth. apparently
convinced that the tipping habit is thor
oughly and h0pelessIy interviewer in the
warp and woof Of our modern civ ilization.
Just why-save for the lack OF patron
age-the shop failed of its mission, the
owner is unable to state. He employed
only the best of help; every. appliaace and
convenience was right up to the most ex-
elusive standards Notwithstanding the
fact that he did all he might reasonably
have been expected to do. he could not
hold his trade. Customers dropped in, but
with singular regularity neglected to come
back often. Familiar faces about the shop
were few and far between. 1t was no
use; the experiment was foredoomed to
failure from the beginning. seemingly.
There was something wrong In the atmos-
phere of a shop where tips were politely
but firmly handed back, it appears; and
so. to save himself from ruin. the man
who owns the place has returned to old
ways, and expects to get wealthy now.
As a matter of fact, 1t begins to seem
that the tipping evil has been frankly
accepted in this land as part and parcel
Of everyday life It has. perhaps, come to
be looked upon as a sort Of necessary
evil; a variety of more or less respectable
graft1for graft it is. The man-waiter.

not-who accepts a tip feels no sense of

him. Perhaps he believes it looks better
to give the servant little something. on
the side; perhaps it is something that

Everybody seems to be tarred with the

OUR LOSSES BY FIRE.
Waste that Could BE Prevented by
Proper COnstruetIon.

waste that Could BE Prevented by
Proper Construction,
From the New York Mail
Too many buildings burn down in this
country. In 1855. the cost Of fire. ineyud-
Ing not only property destroyed. but in
surance the maintenance of fire depart
ments, sc, was over S5o1600.60. In the
same year the building operations Of the
leading cities amounted 10 about 500
ol1oo On the face Of il. 50 per cent of
the new building construction was Offset
by fire cost Herbert NJ. Wilson. Of the
National Geological Survey. SAYS on this
point.
This fire tax exceeds the total annual
value Of gold, silver. and coal production.
The annual fire loss in the United States
IS, according to the National Board Of
Fire Underwriters, $247 per capita. while
the average annual loss in six large Eu-
ropean countries is only S0S3 per capita.
or one-eighth that of the United States.
The greater part OF this immense waste
could be prevented by proper construction
OF houses, factories. and business build
ings. Such construction would not only
cost little more than the prevalent COM
bustible buildings in the first place. but
also would result in real economy in the
long run"
The same excuse will be given for this
poor showing, as compared with our
neighbors abroad. that is given for the
fact that mining accidents, railroad ac-
cidents, and hOmicides are several times
more numerous per capita in this coun-
try than in the most enlightened coun-
tries Of Europe, and that our architec-
ture Is less attractive-namely, that we
are young nation" But railroad
building began in this country at the
same time that it did abroad; most Of
the mines that are worked In other
lands have been opened since this coun-
try took the field; the buildings that give
European cities their attraction are near
ly all Of modern erection-of later date
than the brownstones of Murray Hill
and with more wealth collectively and
individually than any other nation, pre-
sumabiy We have the means TO build
well and safely.
Whether it is a young nation or not
there are several respects in which this
country is old enough TO know better.

TWO BILLIONS RECLAIMED.
steady Rise of Security Values Since
the October Panic.
From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Statistics compiled by the Wall Street
/ Journal show that since the bottom Of the
trough of depression IN the market for
/ securities was reached last fall. the re-
c0very in the stocks Of 263 companies
has been about 81, 757, ,000O00. In the same
period other stocks which are not quoted
or taken notice of in the records kent
| In New York-securities local 10 other
parts OF the country-have certainly risen
enough TO carry the total recovery close
| TO $1,000 COO, GOO, perhaps beyond that limit
| There has also been a marked rise in
bonds Of many kinds. Probably the total
increase in the market value of securi-
ties issued by corporations in the United
States has been s., 9,500.0C0. 600.
If the gain has been no more than
81, COO GOO coo, that means the recovery of
sum about double the interest-bearlng
debt of the nation It is equal 10 the
valuation Of property for taxation IN
eight cities like Cleveland. It is the
value of the exports Of the United States
in year OF very active trade.
This recovery Is about as much as the
whole market price of the stocks and
BONDS Of the three largest corporations
in America. 1t is like finding the gross
output of the gold mines Of the world
for FIVE years, or the total yield OF gold
In the United States for the last thirty
years. 1t is a recovery equal 10 the yield
of the coal mines for FIVE years. It would
take four big wheat crops 10 balance this
gain in the market value of corporation
stocks during the last six months.
That is recovering from a great fnan-
clal crash at a rate which shows the
vitality and reeuperative power of the
American people II Is a new demonstra-
ton OF the resources and assured progress
Of the United States.

One House OF Congress would not dis
entangle itself 10 receive the special

ceived IT, but refused to remain In ses-
sion to have it read. lnsulted and thrust
forth of the Congress. the appeal Of the
President, nevertheless, goes undelayed
to the country through the agency of a
free press. AS long as it remains i'm
possible under the Constitution, TO
abridge the freedom of the press it
does not so much matter whether the

ARBITRATION WITH JAPAN.
New Treaty COnfFmatOry of Pacific
Relations with Orient.

3
The fJst peace congress at the Hague
continues to bear good fruit. Some time
has been required for any general or con-
siderable compliance with the recon-
mendation OF arbitration treaties, but the
time has not been wasted. and to
| day many Of the nations OF the world
are bound together as never before by
agTemeHts TO settle their disputes
through peaceful conferences and ad-
/ tudication and by practical means for
achieving that end. In this America has
appropriately taken a leading part a
/ noteworthy group Of general arbitration
| treaties. substantially alike IN terms, have
been negotiated and ratified by this coun-
{ try, and now another Is being added TO
4 the list. which is in some respects the
most significant OF all.
/ This arbitration treaty with Japan. an
/ n0uncement of which has come as a sur

Japan which We have consistently ex-
/ pressed. There have been elsewhere de

FRIDAY. MAY S. 1908.
A Truly ROOsevcItiau Conception.

A Truly ROosevcltian Conception.
The coming White House conference OF
governors on the conservation Of national
resources IS a bold and original concep-
tion on the part Of President Roosevelt,
1t will be the first Of its kind. Of course.
but that will not constitute its principal
novelty or most remarkable feature THE
matters TO be considered at this confer
ence," says the Presidents letter to the
governors inviting them to participate,
ARE not confined to any region or group
of States, but are OF vital concern 10 the
nation as a whole and to all the people.
Those subjects include the use and con-
servation Of the mineral resources, the
resources Of the land and the resources
Of the waters in every part Of our ter
ritory"
Now the Rooseveltian programme for
the conservation Of national resources is
almost exclusively a Federal project. It
contemplates vast extensions of the func-
tions OF the national government, and
more or less invasion of what used 10 be
considered the rights of the States The
development Of national forestry means
that immense tracts OF land within the
States shall be exempted from State
jurisdiction. Conservation Of mineral re-
sources implies that the Federal govern
ment shall become landlord over coal and
other mines, Or over oil lands. within
State boundaries. Federal control Of
water power would deprive the States OF
a certain amount of jurisdiction over
riparian rights and Of enjoying a source
Of revenue bound to become important.
This trend Of a Federal policy Of con-
serving national resources has received
abundant notice in Congress from op-
pOnents of the ROoseveltian programme.
That programme has met strenuous OBJ
lection on both local and constitutional
grounds, and there is now a serious dis
agreement between the President and
Congress over a vital feature Of 1.-THE
question Of controlling water-power priv
feges
The boldness and novelty Of the Presi-
Dental conception Of a gubernatorial
conference on these topics becomes mani
fest when We realize that the conferees
win be asked TO indorse programme
that materially diminshes the area Of
State functions and increases those of
the general government The governors
Of fOrty-six sovereign States will be re-
spectfully requested 10 reduce the dimen-
sions Of their own prerogatives in order
to enhance the power and perqulsites Of
the Federal government If the Presi-
dent secures unanimous consent to such
a self-immolatiOn on the altar of the
public welfare. he viii have achieved an
extraordinary triumph in the field OF
constructive craftsmanship. No one but
he would ever have essayed the seem
ingly impossible task Of going directly
to the governors Of the States for ap-
proval of a vast scheme OF cenraIiza-
tion.
