PIRATES STRONGER
DESPITE THE LOSS

Pittsburg the Better Except in Pitchers.
Timely Comment

PITTSBURG, Oct. 1O.-Nevertheless
and the contrary Notwithstanding, the
fact that Detroit Won the second game
Of the worlds series by 10 ., does not
prove that the Tigers are as good a
team rs the Pirates, and we will not be
convinced that they are even II Detroit
should cop the pennant.
Personally. we should be tickled TO
death If the Tigers turned around and
made our doleful representations based
on the first game look foolish. but We
do not anticipate that this will come &
pass. The disparity in strength between
the two teams is stiiI there

Only very small audiences saw the
two college games here yesterday.
Western Maryland showed at least one
real good faculty. There has not been
a team In this town for the past two
years that could handle the forward
pass with better accuracy. IL was work

once did II fail. and then because Ellis,

Pirates Excel.

Should the Pittshu-g pitchers do
championship work, Detroit should lose
because of the general superiority of
the Pirates. as pointed out in our COM
ments On the Friday game. Gibson is
still better than Schmidt, except in hft-
ting; Clarke is the fielding equal of any
man in the Detroit suburbs. and should
bat as well as Crawford or Jones: Wag-
ner has Il all over Bush in every way.

Cobb Leach is batting as well as Craw-
ford or better. and is fully his equal in
fielding; Abstein did some first basiiig
yesterday that Tom Jones Is not going

anced in batting thus far, but Miller
has been the more reliable in accepting
fielding chances.

Chicago Fighting The New High
Duties On Tea And Coffee.

CHICAGO, March ll,--A protest
against the proposed new import tax
on tea and coffee has been made by
the Chicago branch oi the NATIONAL
Coffee and Tea Association, Resolu'
tions adopted will be sen, to the ways
and means committee Of the House OF
Representatives, The resolution rep.
resents 700 members who deal solely
in tea and coffee and more than $1,000
other merchants who sell these com.
modities in connection with others.
''The imposition Of a tax on coffee
and tea would result in an extraordf
nary hardship upon the vendors and
the consumers OF these products"
says the association in the resolutions
"The fact that the proposed tax will
not be the measure OF the difference
between the present cost and the Iu'
ture cost under the proposed amend
ment must not be lost sight Of, The
jobber and retailer would expect to
get an extra profit on the higher
value and larger investment and the
consumer would have to pay for his
coffee probably ten cents per pound
more than he is charged today"

NEEDN'T GET SCARED
Little Danger That Earth VIII Col
lide With Anything.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass March H.
Commenting on the assertion made
recently by DR., Pereival Lowell that
the earth was in danger Of eolliding
with some large astral body and thus
be destroyed, Professor William II,
Pickering Of the Harvard Astronomi-
cal observatory says that the chance
of such an event is about "One in
one hundred million, raised to the one
hundred millionth power"
A more possible danger, he added
but nevertheless a highly improbable
one. is that the solar system, in its
journey through space may come
close enough TO some such dark
body as to cause disturbance in the
orbital motion OF planets and per
haps carry some Of them, the earth
included into space. The entire
danger is so remote, however, that
there need be no popular apprehen-
sion about it."

LEASE THE GOVERNMENT.

On the eve OF the extra session OF
the Congress, and in view Of the
hopelessness Of the United States to
prevail in law and fact against the
the greater powers Of the Standard
Oil trust, we beg to suggest that a
resolution providing for a constitu-
tional amendment be framed, present
ed and passed, chartering the national
government to this concern, and turn
ing the people over, bag and baggage,
TO the octopus. Lease the Offices. de-
partments. rights and possessions OF
the public. direct to the impregnable,
autocratie combine and
cease these idle and costly conten-
tons with a power that is greater
than any known in the land.
We feel that We are wasting the
substance of the people in this long
drawn conflict with the Standard and
making the government ridiculous in
its repeated knock-outs at the bidding
Of the big business concern that out
ranks it in court and out of it, and
whose money and mandates over
shadow every organic phase Of nation
al life. The demonstration is complete;
we are the lesser thing; the Standard
is the whole thing, and that is all
there is to it; so. to avoid something
infinitely worse than voluntary sla-
very to this gigantic, elemental power,
we desire to see this step taken. OF
course we may not give it everything;
it must be done on the principle Of
lease, say for a thousand years, or so;
it can be done, alright; any lawyer in
the service of the master corporation
will tell US how to do it; any judge in
the same service will confirm it in
stantly and the Standard will do
what it can to use the concession as
it uses everything else, to its own
ends.
There is a chance that the com
pany may refuse to accept the re-
sponsibility and the expense incident
to it; but we can do no more than try
it out, just to see where we stand in
the estimation Of this supreme agency
in human affairs. Its contempt for
such minor things as government is
so pronounced that it may resent, and
refuse, the act Of allegation on our
part; but at least we can show our
real disposition to be completely ser
vile and our perfect realization of the
power that transcends our own in
the United States of America and our
utter subsection to its least behest,
