The First Game.

There is one day in the national calen-
dar not recognized by law, not marked
by speeches or. nowadays, by public pa
rades or by fireworks. not rated as a legal
holiday. and yet day of such impor-
tance that it causes a arrangement OF the
routine of a majority of men. 1t is the
opening day of the professional base ball
season. In the aggregate several hun
dr-d thousand people devote themselves
to attendance upon the games in their re-
spective cities. For weeks ahead business
engagements are adjusted TO the schedule
Provision Is made for attendance.
Today in Washington, as for years
past. hope runs high of better things to
come on the base ball field. Washington
has an advantage over most other cities
In this respect, that nothing but better
things can come. The "tail-end town"
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose. and 1t is remarkable and a dis
tingushing feature of the base ball pat
fonasc that year after year the local fol-
lowers OF the game look for the sue.

The Cooper Pardon.

Gov. Patterson's promptness in granting
q pardon 10 Col. Cooper Immediately after
the judgment of the supreme court Of
Tennessee confirming his conviction by
the court below is certain to cause criti-
cism and to arouse afresh the intense
partisan feeling which resulted from the
killing of ex-senator Carmack This ac-
iticn gees far to nullify the efficiency of
the law in the state of Tennessee. 1t
stamps as political the processes of trial
and judgment and punishment provided
by formal statute.
The executive right of pardon is seldom
used t. cverturn the solemn findings of
the higher courts. Ordinarily a governor
will pardon only for some extraordinary
reason, the growth of, doubt as to guilt
in = case OF conviction upon circumstan-
!tial evidence, the serving OF a considera-
Bile portion of an allotted term, the de-
veiopment CT illness on the part of the
prisoner or some other exceptional cir
Icumstance plainly justifying leniency.
The almost instant pardoning of Col.
Cooper can be accepted On no such
grounds. The convicted man had taken
his appeal and had failed The fact that
the conviction and sentence were ratified
by the higher court a divided vote of
three 20 two does not weaken the iudg-
nIent of the court. 1t does not lessen the
heavy responsibility assumed by the gov
ernor for thus summarily setting aside
the judicial processes by the exercise of
the prerogative of pardon in be-
half of a friend and political partisan.
1t is reported from Nashville that the
governors action has aroused his oppo-
nents to a pitch Of bitterness not exceed
cd even On the night of the killing of
Carmack- Such are the beginnings of in
tense political feuds, causing infinite dis
tress. checking the development of the
commonwealth and weakening the safe
guards for the protection of life. 1t is
unfortunate not only for Tennessee but
for the other states of the Union that
Gov. Patterson should have chosen this
course.

for Cook records was thorough. 1t is
stated definitely that no trace of former
ascent could be found on either peak and
no records were discovered. Were it not
for this specific announcement it might
be possible to hold to the theory that the
Fairbanks party climbed only one of the
two peaks while DR.. Cook had climbed
the other.
The growth of belief that DR.. Cook did
not climb Mt. Mckinley played an inn
portant part in the destruction of public
faith in him as a polar discoverer. 1t was
felt that a man who would deceive the
world in one matter would do so in an
other Probably if it had not been for
the cloud cast upon his Mt. Mckinley
claim not even the Copenhagen verdict
would have swept all his supporters away
from him. There still remains a senti-
mental desire to believe in him as to the
pole, but the coincidence of disproof in
the case of Mt Mckinley and Of a failure
to prove in the case of the pole will prob
ably destroy all hope of a rehabilitation
of this singular individual, whose chief
claim to notoriety now rests upon the
fact that he perpetrated great hoax at
a large profit

The Useful Consular Reports.

The daily press of the land mourns the
loss of an esteemed contemporary in the
demise Of the Daily Consular and Trade
Reports, which mas issued from the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor for
several years In it's place will appear
weekly publication. We hope this change
does not forbode the suspension of the
publication of these reports entirely, as
has been urged by some mistaken adNo-
Gates of economy. The reports have
served a valuable purpose. and no doubt
as our consular service improves they can
be made still more instructive and use
full. From our own experience and from
careful reading of exchanges from all
parts of the country, we can affirm that
the consular reports receive constant and
faithful attention in newspaper offices,
and the information they purvey is re-
produced far and wide. 1nexpensively
gotten up they are worth their cost
good many times over and we hope they
will continue.
These reports form a convenient me-
dunn of bringing to the public much
useful information concerning laws, in
ventions and institutions in foreign lands
and particularly of acquainting manufac-
turers and merchants with trade oppor
tunities abroad that may lead to inestim-
BILE advantage and profit to Americans.
We can understand that certain concerns
that have private avenues to such infor-
nation might be very glad to have it
withheld from the knowledge OF COM
petitors. Quite often the clamorous pro-
test against waste OF public funds has
some such selfish purpose back of it,
We are induced to speak of this mat
ter of the consular reports because there
have been frequent signs that their is
suance in the form mentioned has met
with opposition. similar to that which
has succeeded already in shutting off the
sending out of matter intended to stimu-
late the conservation movement and the
forestry cause especially. A curtailing of
printed matter issued from time to time
by the bureau of statistics and bureau of
census also seems to have been under
taken The reduction of governmental
expenditures is very good thing. but it
seems to us that great deal Of matter
now issued from the government printing
office and sent out under frank might be
dispensed with more advantageously than
these reports For the consular and trade
reports. especially, we would speak a
good word.

Hearst at the Feast.

Again ii was the unexpected that hap
pened. Mr. Bryan's letter was not the
sensation at the Jefferson day banquet
In this town last night, but the speech
of Col. John Temple Graves, one of
William r. Hearst's lieutenants, who,
with flourish that aroused much en-
thusiasm, suggested a union between the
independence League and the democratic
party for control of the government. The
overture tickled the company. and every
body cheered. Visions of victory lowered
over every chair.
Mr.. Hearst has a political organization
which party leaders have come to take
into account. In New York. in Boston. in
Chicago and in San Francisco. in each of
which cities he figures prosperously I'm the
newspaper world, his friends are numer-
Gus, and in campaign years. under his
inspiration, active. Last year, in the
campaign against Tammany Hall in
Greater New York, his show of strength
was remarkable
1t Is his demonstrated power in New
York which gives Mr.. Hearst his impor-
tance In present calculations. Without
the Empire state, democratic success in
1912 is not figurable, and opposition by
Mr.. Hearst, either in the form of third
presidential ticket, or open support of the
republican ticket, would probably prove
fatal to any ticket the democracy might
nominate. This explains the applause
which greeted Col. Graves eloquent over
ture last night.
But this is the day after. when heads
are cooler and clearer. and eloquent peri
DDS may be leisurely examined as to their
real meaning and possibilities. What is
the Hearst proposition? AS stated by
Col. Graves, 1t is that the new combina-
tion-the independence League grated
on the democratic party-shall not be
half BRYAN, half Belmont, half Hearst,
half Ryan" OF course it could not be
that Here are four halves and only
two are required to make whole But
the slip may be excused. Col Graves
has Irish blood i'm his veins, and was
speaking in wee, short hour ayont the
twal.''
But the question is how much August
Belmont or Thomas F.. Ryan will Mr..
Bryan stand, and vice versa? And,
again, how much August Belmont or
Thomas F. Ryan will Mr.. Hearst stand,
and vice versa? Those men are not mix
able. 1t was too much Belmont and
Ryan in the Parker offering in 1904 which
caused the Bryan and the Hearst people
to slight or cut the ticket everywhere.
Even Missouri, a Dryan stronghold, went
republican.
No more bunco games. No more COM
binations of Tom, Dick and Harry, prom
Using everything to everybody for the
purpose of winning at the polls. Bunco
may serve to secure, but never to re-
tain. power. The last Cleveland cam
paisn proved that. Ask Mr.. Bryan, who
holds. and has expressed. some pro-
nounced views on the subject.

Heroes of the Hour!

Now many a familiar name
Is fading from the scroll of fame,
While others CLEAN in letters grand
To wake the plaudits of the land.
No tribute soft nor sharp complaint
Is now addressed without restraint
Unto the powerful or rich.
We shout, " Ills Johnson who will pitch!"
And add in tones by hope made sweet,
1.-The catcher's no one less than Street,
Milan and "Schaefer!' 'Lelivelt!'
What glad expectant thrills are felt
At mention Of them; and what pride
We feel in Unglaub and Mcbride.
And courage plumes itself anew
Ger Elberfeld and Gessler, too!
The booms that craftsmanship may hurl,
The banners soldiers may unfurl.
Are now unnoted while we hear
The general cheer for ''McAleer!"

cesses and the honors which await the
team which wins the ma jority of the
games ii plays.
For some weeks past Washington has
been faithfully noting the progress of the
local team in rounding into shape. noting
with pleasure the good work of the infeld-
ers and outfielders, the signs of batting
REVEALS, the tokens of pitching skill, and
shivering with apprehension as this or
that player has succumbed to some pass
ing aiIBent. Now everything is in good
form for the first contest. A new man.
age- IS at the helm and hope runs high.
Visions Of first division place float be-
fore the eyes Of the devoted followers
of the sport, and while few are so opti-
mistic as to talk Of pennants. yet it is
fundamental precept in base ball par
lance that one never knows what Will
happen after the gong sounds.
Luck plays an important part in base
ball and is probably a large factor in
The popularity of the sport. Many
promising team has gone to smash
through no fault of its manager or its
players. Accidents will happen on the
diamond, and beyond them there is that
indefinable something called the slump,
when every member of team loses his
nerve or his interest and game after
game falls into the record as defeat.
Then again comes the squirt, when the
same players, striking happy como1na-
ton of good spirits and good luck. begin
to win and for a time are unbeatable.
What Washington hopes. for is one or
these fortuitous combinations Of good
luck and good playing and good spirits
good management and, what is quite as
important as anything else, enthusiastic
public support which will send the Ma
tionals quickly up the ladder and hold
them there. 1t has become an axiom
in the base ball world that Washington
Is good base bail town. With first
division team here it will be one of the
best in point of patronage. A pennant
winner would pack the park to the
fences Perhaps this is the year that VIII

A Children'S Bureau.

A bill is pending in Congress providing
for the establishment in the Department
of Commerce and Labor of bureau to
investigate all questions relating to the
juvenile population of this country, to be
known as the children's bureau. 1t is in
dorsed by practically every student of
sociological conditions in this country
who has risen above political limitations
and who recognizes the great Importance
Of the child question as affecting the fu-
ture welfare of the nation. President
Roosevelt in one of his messages strongly
urged its establishment, other federal Off
Gals have recommended it, philanthropic
workers have pointed to it's need, leaders
of industrial forces have added their sup
port to the movement, until 1t has be-
come a national demand in behalf of the
rising generation.
The purpose of this measure is to pro-
vide an organization for the study and in
vestigation of such questions as infant
age, juvenile delinquency. desertion and
illegitimacy, dangerous occupations, acct
dents and diseases of children of the
working classes, employment, legislation
affecting children in the several states
have a bearing upon the efficiency. the
health, the character and the training of
children. The organization will cost about
$4,000 year, which may be regarded as
an investment by the United States gov
eminent for the sake of good citizenship.
At present a large movement is under
way throughout the country for the safe
guarding of the child-not the child of the
well-to-do, but the child of the poor, of
the ignorant and of the unfortunate. It
Is vitality important that, whatever evils
may exist today. the human frailties and
shortcomings and limitations should not
be perpetuated unnecessarily. The mis-
fortunes of one generation should not be
transmitted to another without need,
without the adoption of every possible
measure to prevent. 1t is the business Of
the state to intervene to check the tend
encies of poverty and Of vice and Of
crime, more especially in the case of the
children than of the adults, for the state
owes to the children measure of protec-
ton which perhaps their parents are un-
able to give them.
The surest way to solve these problems
is to learn the conditions and to legislate
upon that foundation. Legislation upon
any other basis is unsafe. 1t is first es-
sential to know what exists in order to
find its cure. The various efforts that are
being made in the states go only part
way. Only the United States government
can reach all Of the facts and collate them
in manner to lead to clear definition and
to comprehensive enactments both by
Congress and by the state legislatures.
The comparatively small cost of main
tanning bureau such as that proposed
would be repaid many times In terms Of
better citizenship on the part of the chill
dren assisted by the measures enacted as
a result of the wise investigations thus
conducted. The passage of this bill is de-
manded by every consideration Of con-
structive patriotism
