NEW YORK SERIES sTlRs FANS

New York. Get. 13-Judging from
the intense interest manifested among
all classes in the opening of the SER
les of -post-season games between the
New York Nationals and Americans
today, little old New York is IN grave
danger of going baseball mad before
the series is concluded. Such an ar
my of fans as moved on the Polo
Grounds for the initial contest this af.
ternoon has never before been seen
in the metropolis. Two rival Clans,
apparently about equal In numbers,
were on hand, one to root for the
Giants and the other to cheer the
Highianders on to victory.
Ever since the American league in
vaded New York in 1908 the relative
supremacy of the Giants and the High
landers has been question of dis

al game, With each successive sea-
son the partisan feeling has increased
in intensity until 1t reached the boiling
point when announcement was made
a week or so ago that, as result of
an agreement by Presidents Farrell
and Brush, the rival teams would
meet on the diamond.
Each team has thousands of loyal
followers and it is safe to say that the
great majority of them will be on
hand for every game of the series The
American team this season has been
very successful and the club believed

MORE GRAFT EXPOSURES

James Marker, chief engineer of the
board of public works. recent ap-
tpointee of Gov. Harmon, has already
uncovered a lot of graft and crooked
ness in the canal system of the state,
as shown in report he filed Tuesday
afternoon with the board of public
works. It shows that pay rolls were
padded with dummy laborers, the
state was charged with more material
than it received, and paid officials of
the department shared in the immense

on old transactions, but on those TAX

This newest exposure of graft in state

what the election Of Gov. Harmon ac.

entire Democratic state ticket, in or

ais than it has been for many seasons.
Therefore, the American partisans
have unlimited confidence in the abil-
ity of Hal Chase's men as Giant kill
ers. On the other hand, National
league admirer has no use for the
Highland outfit and can see only a de-
cisive victory for the Giants in the
series.
According to the arrangements the
games are to alternate between the
Polo Grounds and the American
league park. The series will end when
one team has won four games. Much
betting is already being done and it
is certain that tens of thousands of
dollars will change hands on the re-
suits of the games.

SHARP AND CHAMBERLAIN

In recent issue OF the Republican
News appears the first piainuye note
of the Republican candidate for con.
gress, Mr.. Chamberlain. for votes, on
the ground that he, unlike Mr.. Sharp,
his Democratic opponent Is not rich"
and consequently "is In closer sym
pathy with the masses" Both of
these men are Lorain county products,
and while Mr.. Sharp started without
dollar and has become a successful
business man, he has always shared
the profits of his large enterprises
with thousands of his fellowworkers
and employees in the business, Mr..
Chamberlain has had the advantage of
being a member OF the dominant party
in politics in the past and ii Is weak
argument to advance that the success
of Mr. Sharp should be reason for
his defeat. Mr. Sharp has always
been friends of the masses and
has been one OF the leading factors in
promoting the welfare of his home
town of Elyria and its people.
Mr.. Sharp's record of the past two
years in congress, on the tarln and eX'
,trayagance in public service, is an an
'swer to the imputation that he Is not
"a friend of the "masses." In very
able speech In congress, when the
Payne bill was being considered,
among other things, MIR, Sharp said
LET us recognize the fact In time
that, though the government Is very
lmuch in need OF revenue due in no
small measure to past extravaganza,
yet there are better ways In which
to provide this revenue than by tax
ing the pecessaries Of life Since 1t
Is no longer denied that the consumer
pays the tax, let US SO frame the pro
visions OF this bill that no unjust pro-
portion of the burden of that tax, shall
rest upon his shoulders"

1892 contained the following para

I'VE denounce the efforts of the
Democratic majority of the House of
Representatives to destroy our tariff
laws piecemeal, as manifested by their
attacks upon wool, lead, and lead

Times have changed. Republican
candidates for Congress, upon the ad-
vice of President Taft, are now advo-
eating and promising tariff revision
''piecemeal" with the intimation that
the schedules enumerated will be the
first ones tackled In other words, the
Republicans have adopted another

COLLEGE SALARIES

~ ~ : 4 80 **#@ y Il y
President Taft was one of the mem
bers of the Yale corporation who voted
to raise the salaries of Yale professors
to $4,000, with $4,000 as the maximum.
Twelve members of the faculty will
now receive the latter sum.
Not long ago, largely through the eff
forts of Bishop Lawrence of Massa-
chusetts, the sum of 81 100000 was
raised by Harvard alumni, the interest
on which was to be devoted to aug
menting the insufficient wage of the
teaching force at Harvard. Before this
effort was crowned with success, there
were thirteen professors who received
less than $4,000 The average salary
of an instructor was $1,000, and assist
ants We're paid from $40O to $500.
The college professor Is not gener-
ally in the business for the sake of
getting rich There are exceptional
instances of professors who are able
to sell at a high price their valuable
services as consulting engineers. Prof
Michael Pupin of Columbia, some
years ago sold his multiple-telephony
invention for several hundred thou
sand dollars and an annuity of $4,000.
But the typical college teacher, like
Louis Agassi2, has mo time to make
money" He seeks the advancement
of learning for its own sake. Few of
the great investigators have been rich
men. The late Alexander Agassiz, son
of the impecunious naturalist, became
a millionaire through his holdings of
copper mining stock, but his case was
highly unusual. Generally, as in the
case of Chaucer's Oxford clerk, the
scholar wears a threadbare cloak and
is mot worldly enough to have an
Office"
Nor is the typical scholar much
tempted by the glittering bauble of
promised riches. He cares much more
for the priceless treasure, reputation.
He values highly the dignity of an an
cient and honorable seat of learning.

THE FIGHT AGAINST GRAFT
columbus Dispatch, Independent
Republican,

Republican,
The Republican attempt to belittle
and muddle the anti-graft issue of the
Democrats In Ohio will fool no intelli-
gent voter. The charge of the old ma
chine workers in the Republican party
that their opponents are insincere is
not borne out by the record. The plea
that the Republican organization has
always been an enemy of graft is an
absurdity. The people Of Ohio, we be-
lieve, know when graft reigned and
when 1t stopped in the State House.
With the notable exception of the
administration of Governor Herrick,
who fought crookedness in office with
all his might, who forced the passage
of the depository law and made other
far-reaching reforms, and suffered the
displeasure of the ring for his courage
and honesty at the next election, cor
ruption and big and little thievlng has
been unrestricted in the state house
and out of it. Graft system was es-
tablished there and maintained and
defended by the Republican machine.
Graft was part of the body polite. 1t
was the established rule. And more.
Upon those who dared to expose thiev-
cry were turned the heavy batteries
of the party organization. Arrogant,
defying public opinion, the graft syn
dicate was prepared to bludgeon those
with the courage to expose them. The
power of the Republican party was
prostituted to the protection of the big
and little CRATER. Graft was encour-
aged, the party bosses, big and little,
compromised with it, schemed and
dickered to cover it up. When this
newspaper exposed the grafters the
guns of the Republican machine were
turned, not against the corruptionists
who were shown up In the searchlight
of publicity, but against The Dispatch
Every measure of oppression and CO.
ercion was employed in the defense Of
the guilty The same men and the
same forces today are making claims
of political purity on exigency not on
honesty. They are making fight on
pretense.
The facts are that graft reigned up
to the time the Democrats assumed Of
fee. It was checked and exposed by
Democratic administration. Under
the leadership of Governor Harmon
thievery was hazard too perilous for
even the boldest CRATER to risk. The
guilty were exposed and brought to

Why Meat is High

Thirty-live per cent is the amount of
profit Armour & Co., forced the public
to pay last year. This became known
through a statement submitted by Ar
mour e. Co., in connection with the
listing of bond issue of 100000 900
on the stock exchange. The company
by it's own showing made a gross prof
it. of $1O,582, 900 for the year 1909 on
capital stock of $2O,0O0,0OO and
earned surplus of $7,127, 1926, or the
equivalent of dividend of 35.6 per
cent. AS the price of beef was boost
ed with the beginning of 1910 it would
appear that in the opinion of Armour
& Co., a .35.6 per cent profit on CAPT
tai stock is not ample, even though
the commodity involved is one of the
necessaries of life. Armour e. Co., is
one of the beef trust firms which en-
joyed perfect immunity from prosecu-
tion by the government until Federal

THE REV. JOHN A. kELLNER

The Rev. John a. IKelIner. for fifteen
years pastor OF St Gabriel's Roman Cath
olic Church New Rochelle. died in st
Francis's Hospital, this city. yesterday, fol-
lowing an operation.
St Gabriel's is known as the Iselin Me

IseIfn. the banker. and a descendant of John
Carroll, the first Roman Catholic bishop OF
Baltimore The parish is one of the largest

sought relief abroad. He was born in New
York City of German parents and was fifty
five years old He was an accomplished
musician, and before going to New Rochelle
was organist and choir director of St
Patrick's Cathedral.
When the Iselin family built the New
Rochelle church. at an expense of ABOUT
100000, they asked Archbishop Cofrigan TO
send a priest who was capable of building
UP a large parish. Father kellner was
assigned. and for several years before the
