KNOCKS AT MERE MAN.

xATRITERS on social matters are discussing
Wv with renewed vehemence the perennial
question Of man, and he is getting some pretty
hard knocks from his fellowman and some COM
pliments from women. The average man does
not seem to be affected by either They
talk and write all they please about him, but the
baseball season will soon begin and then the
fellows in the newspaper offices will know what
man is thinking about-thc score
Mr.. i. Hopkinson Smith has been criticsing
New York men as a class They are about
everything that Mr.. Smith thinks is bad. Some
say that Mr. Smith reached this opinion be-
cause a publisher in New York rejected his latest
manuscript. Perhaps he has been through the
"hold-up mills" of New York, the hotels, the
barber shops and some other places where a man
to be at ease should have patent device con-
Meeting his pocketbook with the multitude OF
itching palms that are ever extended for the tips.
The social arbiter of Chicago who is a per-
sonage of considerable Importance, thinks that
Mr. Smith is in error in saying that the men OF
Chicago are better hammered than the New
Workers The social arbter, Mr. Eames Mac
Veagh, declares that Chicago men are conceited,
overbearing and self-centred. He says they are
uninteresting. unntelgent, with no ambition
to improve their minds.
This condition may be due to the dominance
Of the fedgling in various fields of life. Why
should the young man of Chicago want to i'm
prove his mind when he knows everything that
is to be known already by sort of intellectual
intuitvc process2 And the Chicago man has
many brothers in other cities
The Chicago society men. says Mr.. MacVeagh,
are so crude that they discuss nothing but auto
mobiles, shows and prize fights. What gave,
we may. ask, baseball black eye in Chicago!
And haven't they occasionally bad word to say
for Cannon?
But turn to the other side of the picture Mrs:
Beatrice Forbes s-Robinson, an English equal
suffrage advocate, pays high tribute to Amer
lean men. They the most chivalrous in the
world, she says, and because they arc so chival-
rous there is a lack of bitterness against them
by the advocates of equal suffrage in this coun-
try Chivary of the American men melts the
wrath Of even the English suffragists and tames

after all, and the English speaker intends to cap

New York Sun.
Under the. rules for baseball as amend |
ed this year by the joint committee Of the
American and National Leagues, the pow
ers Of the umpire will be considerably in
creased. and in way that should add ma
terially to the comfort and pleasure of pa
irons Of the game. For number Of years
there has been a continuous and steady
improvement in conditions on the dia-
mond in respect Of tho elimination Of
rowdyism, and the now regulations will
make It possible for tho umpires to main
tain all that has been gained for good
order, while repressing certain abuses that
hitherto have been beyond their control
Hereafter not even the captain of
team may direct the umpire's attention
TO what appears to be a violation of the
rules, and player elected from the game
must leave the field promptly without dis
pute OF argument The umpires will also
have entire authority over the players on
the benches. Here has been the source of
considerable trouble in the past, which
should be impossible if the new regula-
tions are enforced strictly.
All OF these changes are designed to pre-
vent klchihh anu urio9n HA Aio holiiNi
and with the possible exception of the
amendment prohibiting any player from
calling attention TO alleged violation of the
rules. all Of them are obviously reasonable
and Just As TO this exception, there is
great deal to be said for and against the
new regulation. 1t will put on the umpires
responsibilities they have not hitherto had
and its justification will come only from
alertness and impartiality on their part.
Spectators Will not restrain themselves
when They believe their favorite team is
being unfairly treated, but as your true
"fan" always believes his side is the vic
tim OF a conspiracy, no new disorders
should come from the grand stands. One
thing is certain; the umpire's life win not
be easier or happier when he assumes the
new responsibilities Of his job.

MIR. NEWTON AND THE STATE BOARD

n CCORDING to the Dover News Mr..
y Oliver H. Newton who was recently
appointed member of the State Board of Agri-
culture has made commendabe start. If NJ
Newton lives up to his promises, and we have
no doubt that he will do so, he will prove to be
a valuable member of the Board
Mr. Newton declares that the State Board of
Agriculture will not be conducted a political
machine. that there is no politics in it, and that
there will be none. lie adds that he is farmer
and not politician.
Although there have been rumors of the possl-
bilites of the State Board as a political machine,
we have failed to see how such body could
exert much influence in political matters Mr.
Newton announces that he wants the cooperation
of the newspapers in the work of the Board and
he is sure TO get It.
The Board of Agriculture will sit with open
doors and IF any public spirited citizen comes
forward with good suggestions concerning the
development of every foot of land in Delaware
and the states wonderful resources so close 20
the great markets, the Board will take them up
so quickly that it will make our heads SWIM,
SAYS Mr.. Newton
This is the right kind OF talk. The State
Board of Agriculture accomplish great
deal It might do something towards solving
the problem of labor on the farms and II GER
tainlv could do much towards developing Della
ware still further as a truck country and fruit
growing district. Nothing would help such de
velopment more than adequate transportation
facilities and reasonable freight rates.
