There may not be pennant winners
in Boston, but we have two teams that
are making every effort to give us a
class Of baseball that no one can COM
plain Of Every city is anxious TO
have a pennant winner and Boston
fans would be proud to hail the Red
SoX or Doves as champions, but il a
city cannot be at the top of the list
at the end of the season 1t is at least
gratifying to the fans TO know that
the players have done their utmost
TO please those who go TO the box
office and deposit their hard earned
cash. Fred Lake and Frank Bower
man are working overtime to get the
best possible out of their men, and
this fact should be appreciated by the
royal rooters. The showing of the
Doves has been an agreeable surprise
and there may be first division posi-
bilties after all.
There are in this country 100000
married women working because their
husbands do not earn money enough
to support them and their children"
declared Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes at
Maverick church, East Boston, last
week. There are also 100000 little
children working their lives away in
factories and mines to exc out an in
sufficient family wage. There are So
900 women In New York city living
shameless lives because they cannot
exist on the wages paid in the fac
tories and sweat shops OF the city"
The noted and wealthy Socialist lead
er scored the state, courts, congress
and legislatures as corrupt, in her ad.
dress to 500 men and women.
Unbounded enthusiasm in the Bos
ton-1915 movement was shown last
week at the public meeting at Fan
euil hall, when the purposes OF the
great civic propaganda were explained
TO an audience that filled all the
available space in the Cradle. One
by one the speakers spoke ON some OF
the reforms comprehended in the Bos-
ton-1915 movement, and each speaker
as he elucidated the ideas with which
his particular branch Of the great
whole was to be improved, was greet
ed with unstinted applause.
Several Of the speakers scored un
qualified successes by the power of
their remarks. Especially the Rev.
Thomas /. Gasson, president OF Bos.
ton College.
Louis d. Brandeis presided and he
made a telling Introductory and then
Judge Michael j. Murray, secretary of
the meeting, read the Boston plan
which showed the amplified form OF
the propaganda Of municipal progress.
The first speaker was Benjamin G.
Marsh, secretary Of the committee on
of population of New York,
an expert on the proper housing of
the workingman as a part Of the 1915
plan and among other things said:
The example of Boston with its
1915 idea is an inspiration and chal-
lenge to every city in the country.
Your plan is bold, vigorous and prac-
tical. You have the advantage Of the
influence and energy and ability Of two
great commercial bodies organized to
secure municipal efficiency, not mere
ly in administration, but in policy.
Most of the city planning to date in
the United States, unfortunately, has
been partial. Your project for Great
er Boston is complete. Other cities
have dealt with the artistic develop.
ment of the community, they have
the value Of parks. play.
grounds and boulevards, which are
goou IN their place, but they have not
fundamentally grasped the conception
which your plan strikingly illustrates;
that the welfare of the working popu.
lation rs city's most important con-
cern."
The Rev. FIR. Gasson, who spoke
next, said that although Boston must
develop anyway, IL was the purpose
Of the Boston-1915 movement to have
development along intelligent lines.
