We have about fifty million Am
orleans who have remained IN school
into One midst Of their teens some
taiug like twp-fifrhs Of our probable
population in the next thirty years,
saws William Allen White. writing In
the August American Magazine un-
der the title The schools the
handspring of Democracy. He con-
tinues:
Assuming that the average life
of the college graduate and his post
graduate associate is thirty years out
OF college. We may assume that the
generation now opening viii be man
ned with a million men and women
who have at least finished their col
lpee work and assuming that the
same number of juniors, sophomores
and freshmen leave sChool-about
$4,000 in each class-that are grad
mated. we may add three million
more TO the total, making four mil
lion college men and women who
will participate in our national ne
during the first thirty years OF this
century. Add TO these four million
.,rllege-hred men and women the one
hundred and sixty thousand high
school graduates who are entering
life every year, and the generation
may reasonably be computed to hold
five million persons who have taken
full advantage of the common
schools supported by direct taxes
upon all of the people. Add to this
total those who drop out from the
four lower classes of the high
school, list as large from each
class as the annual graduating class
and one has fifteen million others
who have come into somewhat wild
er field of knowledge than that af-
forded by the common schools. Let
us add to them for thirty years the
three-quarters of million pupils
who complete the work in the sew
enth or eighth grades of the elemen-
tary schools There will be 1900
00o of them. Now adding all these
ums-allowing for the increase in
population to increase the number
of youth as the years go on-and We
have about fifty million Americans
= nj n in
midst of their terms-sOmething like
two-fifths of our probable population
il the next thirty years.
This is not enough. Democracy
may live, but it cannot thrive upon
that basis. II we are to solve the
problem Of the century--the restric-
ton of ignorance and greed in our
business organiZation-we must
solve it in the school house rather
than in the legislature or in the
court room So long as there is
body Of the people ignorant, that ig-
norance will breed a greed that Will
be duped by demagogy, and always
the greed equipped by cunning will
outwit greed equipped by ignorance.
The problems that this nation has
solved have been for the most part
simple problems They were prob
lens in the production of wealth. lt
is true that the abolition of slavery
concerned the distribution of wealth.

How baseball Clubs Steal signals
From one Another.

From One Another.
THE lengths 20 which clubs VIII
20 80 secure the signals of She oppos-
ing teams IS astonishing To those not
familiar with the game says Hugh
5. Fullerton in the August number
Of the American Magazine. lie con
tinues:
ITO catch a signal legitimately, by
observation by quick thinking, Is
part of this sport. Marshall Of
Brooklyn. Kane Of Chicago, Doolin
OF Philadelphia, are past masters of
the art of seeing what the opposing
batsmen are trying to do before the
effort is made Efforts have been
made in the past to steal signals by
the most brazen trickery and uu-
sportsmanlike methods.
Perhaps the worst case of this
sort ever revealed was that of an old
Philadelphia club of the National
League. Here was the greatest ag-
gregation of batters ever assembled
on one team, but, not satisfied with
their natural hitting ability they
wanted TO know in advance what
kind OF ball the pitcher was going
to serve so as to increase their hit
ting. One of the cleverest men at in
terpreting signals who ever played
in baseball game formulated the
plan. Stationing a confederate in the
club house in center field, he had
him armed with a powerful pair of
field glasses with which to watch
the hands of the catchers. At first
the confederate signaled batters by
raising one arm for a fast ball, the
other for curve, then, when the
opponents grew suspicious he work
ed from behind blind and gave the
signal by raising a few inches and
held in that position a fast ball was
coming, and if it was raised and then
dropped the signal was for curve.
THE awning worked we'll, until
it was discovered, and then the
catcher and his associates invented
something new in baseball. They put
electric wires underground connect
ing the club house with the coachers
box at third base, and buried a small
wooden box under the ground, the
box containing a 'buZZer.' A certain
noisy oostreperous player was sta
TONED at third base with one foot
on the box containing the 'buzzer
and as the signal was sounded the
PLAYER stationed over the 'buzzer.
could feel the tapping under his foot
and by calling in a secret word code
he warned the batter what the pitch
err was going to pitch
Not regular player on the Phil
adelphia team batted under 800 per
cent while the 'buzzer' was in oper-
alton. and several of their pitchers
and catchers were among the leading
batters Of the National league.
"Not satisfied with having that
much advantage on the home
grounds. the man who planned the
thing followed his team around the
country, renting windows overlook
ling the grounds in each city and wig
wagging signals to the batters. He
was caught at Brooklyn by some of
the Brooklyn players, and trOunCed,

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-02-17

OLYMPIA, Feb. 17.-(Special)-A
battle royal was fought in the senate
this morning when the local option bill
came up for consideration. Both
sides were full of fight and were equal
in numbers, every roll call showing the
same result, 21 to 21. Each Of the
amendments which had been made in
the house Were offered and each lost
by tie vote.
The friends of the bill played their
trump card by putting the bills oppo-
nents on record as being controlled by
the liquor forces.
Amendments making separate units
of first-class cities, second class cities.
third class cities and all incorporated
cities and towns were successfully Of
fered and voted down. The purpose of
Offering the amendments was to show
chat the opponents were not willing
to meet the supporters half way and
were really opposed to any local op-
tion measure. 1t was a shrewd trick
and made possible by the fact that
the supporters of the bill still have
the bill passed by the house slowed
away in the public morals committee,
from which they can resurrect it at
any time but where it is safe from it's
enemies. Vote on the final passage of

worthless ten-dollar gold pieces on
business men, and made their getaway
while C. F. Turner, one of their vic
TINS was at the telephone in the ho-
tel lobby ringing for the police. The
game of the smooth artists was to
buy some cheap article, for which they
presented the spurious coin, receiving
the change in silver, or in calling for a
bill in exchange for gold. Clark is
described as being about 30 years OF
age, tall and heavy set, with a dark
complexion. His companion is about
"a years of age, slight of build, light
complexion, and with a scar on his
right cheek.
1t is believed that the couple work
ed a number of business men here,
and it is definitely known that they
passed three of the coins, bearing
the date 1903" The imitation was
of lead with a thin gold plate and is
easily detected.
