The situations in the big leagues and those in the two major minor
organizations have the cities on those circuits in a frenzy. In Philadelphia

The new laws prohibit the sale or
giving away of liquors at all clubs,
and prevent the congregating of par
ties at private homes for the purpose
of drinking. Places of business, in
Guiding private offices, cannot store
liquors to be sold or given away, and
any place under suspicion can be raid
ed as a common nuisance and closed
under an injunction gotten out by any
citizen unless proof of innocence is
forthcoming. Neither railroads nor
express companies are allowed to de-
liver liquors at homes, and foreign
corporations doing business in the
state cannot engage in a traffic which
is outlawed for domestic concerns on
penalty of having their license re-
voked. Police powers are extended
three miles beyond corporate limits,
officers are given the broadcast lati-
tude for raiding. sheriffs and other
authorities who fail to do their duty
are subject to impeachment and pun
ishment, all clubs are required to re-
organize within sixty days to frame
new constitutions and bylaws pre-
venting the sale or giving away of
liquors on their premises and to fur
nish copies of the same with full lists
of their members to probate judges

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

! The best known of the Wall street
! letters expresses fear that not only the
boom in the stock market, but the ac-
tive revival of trade and industry may
be checked soon by the high cost of
living. That depends on how far the
! high cost of living is rue to natural
causes and how far to mOnopolies Gre
ated by false economic legislation and
speculation fostered by errors in
finance.
Prices have risen so per cent since
1896, when the gold standard was
firmly established in this country. TIL
rise has been world wide, though
several other countries have abandoned
the silver standard since. Here is
sufficient reason to attribute large part
of it to the increased production Of
gold, whose annual output has doubled
since 1896
So far as the rise of prices in this
country has been greater and more
rapid than in others, it is due to the
secondary causes of the protective
tariff and bank note imitation, creating
a monopoly of the necessaries of life
and the other encouraging speculation
with cheap money 1t would be a mis-
take to belittle the world cause of in
creased supply of gold even in this
country, since the one thing that does
not share in the rise is securities
which pay a fixed rate of interest.
So far as this is the cause, the rise
of prices cannot be considered I'M
healthy. because in the long run all
prices but the rate of interest will
share in it and we shall have only a
readjUstment. But so far as it is due
to the local causes of tariff monopoly
and bank note imitation the rise is I'M
healthy and we shall pay for it in one
way or another.
The people will not endure continual
reduction of the purchasing power of
their wages and earnings by artificial
prices. On the other hand expansion
of business on credit fostered by pa
per currency issued beyond the de-
mands of legitimate trade breeds dis
astrous reaction. Evidence of how far
the rise is healthy will be given by
the success of employers of labor in
meeting demand for higher wages out
i of increased earnings

THEY WHO PLAY MUST PAY.

There is not the least danger that
President Taft will lose his head and
take any rash action because two
Americans were caught in a Central
American revolution and lost their
lives. Whatever other causes of dis
content he may have with Nicaragua,
the president has had too much ex-
perience as secretary of war in
charge of Panama, of Spanish-Ameri-
can revolutions and American connec-
ton with them to act upon an ex parte
statement of the death of Americans
concerned in one. He knows that
Americans do not take part in these
revolutions for the sake of their
health and that weak governments
do not execute the citizens of the Unit
ed States without cause sufficient to
protect them from reprisals.
The first statement that excited some
Americans came from an American
steamship company which trades to Nj
caragua when it is not engaged in
carrying arms to some ragged army
or other. Most governments in equa-
torial South and Central America
are financed by some corporation or
other and individual filibusters are
generally directly or indirectly in cor
poration pay. The business of fill
clustering, like most others, has passed
into the hands of the trusts
The statement from the capital OF
Nicaragua that the men executed haG
a military trial as dynamiters and con-
fessed their guilt after conviction ma!
not be true, but it comes from the
government and is entitled to as mucl
credit as that of whatever American
interests are supporting the insurrec
ton. 1t is entirely proper for tn,
president to order an investigation ant
send naval vessels to either coast
where they should have been long ago
but this IS probably as far as he will
go without more information.
The recognition of the insurgen
government served by the two vic
Tins is another matter. The diplomat
ic reasons for and against that ma
have nothing to do with this new Incl
dent. That will be dealt with on it
merits when they shall have been de
termined

SPoILS AND PUBLIC SERVICE.

Under the spoils system men have
became incapacitated for honest work
after they have once tasted the spoils.
Given the emoluments of office, they
have devoted themselves to the bust
ness of the party machine and neglect
ed their official duties When they
were thrown out owing to victory of
the opposing party they attached
themselves to some boss and waited
for the next change of fortune that
should offer them another chance at
! an official salary. Meantime they did
| nothing to prepare themselves for the
special work of any office Keeping
! their wagon hitched to the boss, they
applied for the largest salaries they
| could possibly hope to get when their
crowd succeeded again, and accepted
whatever was allowed them.
