HEIGHTENED THE SEASON

New York, Feb 19.-The National
League last night adopted a playing
schedule calling for 154 games for the
coming season, but it was only accom-
plished after a majority of the mag
mates had expressed their opinion
that newspaper criticism over the de-
lay was causing unfayorable public
ity.
Though the wishes of the American
League for l54-game schedule were
met, that Leagues interests were dis
regarded when it was resolved to
stretch the schedule out to October
10. The American League schedule
terminates on October 9, and all
League contracts with players call
for service until October IS Ebbetts
of Brooklyn and Murphy of Chicago
insisted on using their players up to
the contract time.

Let me call your attention to

The Confessions of a Moderate
Drinker"-I think 1t practical, sane
and sound, and | agree with its con-
illusions. See If you don't. If you
do it will prove that two persons

LEAST LYNNE"
Beautiful Scenic Effects Will Be the
Feature of the Production

Ordinarily the producing manager
pays but little heed to such scenic
occasions as tapestries, rugs and
hangings so long as a fairly adequate
or artistic effect is accomplished by
their use in interior settings" Our
great exception, however, is Bates e
Shalvoy's beautiful production of
East Lynn" which will be presented
at the opera house February 26.
In equipping this drama, which has
fairly startled America for years
Bates G. Shalvoy's general master Of
properties, suggested cheap materials
for a drawing room scene which he
thought would be just as effective as
the rest of the hangings and floor
coverings, but Mr.. Bates emphatical-
ly declined TO cheat as he called It,,
therefore, all the tapestries, etc, used
in East Lynne are of the finest quail
ity and represent an expenditure
equal to small fortune.

This general advance in the
wages Of railroad men is the sec
ond in a period Of four years. The
last previous raise came in 1906
1907. Soon after. in the fall Of
1907. came the panic, but the rail
roads. despite the falling off in
business, did not reduce the
wages then. Thus the present
increase comes on the top OF the
one four years ago. ...
To illustrate: an employee earn
ing $3.50 a month in 1906, on a
road whore q 10 per cent. adj
vance was granted, received $15
more under the higher scale. A
7 per cent advance this year ear
ried his pay to $176.55 a month.
This represents q net increase of
1T per cent. over what he :. re
ceived in 1906. Iu, 4.~.l. 4ao .

SHORT BALLOT PROGRESS,

The Short Ballot movement, or,
in other words, the movement to
reduce the number of elective Of
fees tc a point where public opin-
ion canhandle the matter without
the aid of politicians, is sweeping
over the country like wildfire.
The biggest jump forward is the
passage Of a bill in the Illinois leg
islature permitting the commission
form of government in all the
cities Of Illinois. Except Chicago,
Illinois has more thoroughly film
TANNED its people in the past
than any other State. The list of
elective offices is the longest in
the Union, with the possible eXcep-
tion of Ohio. The custom has
been to give to the voters ballot
that reached from their eyes down
to the floor. ...
When the people elected a Gov
ernor that suited them, they found
that the politicians had full con
troll of the minor offices, and the
Governor was bound hand and
foot. Many non-pOlitical officers,
such as the Trustees of the Uni
versity Of Illinois, Sanitary Com
mission, etc, were chosen by pop
ular vote. Politics in conse-
quence became one of the learned
professions, the bulk Of the citi-
zens being practically disfran-
chised by the complexity of the
procedure. .u -........ ......

The philosc p,,ei Of tina. exec!
lett paper thu News-Star OF Mon
roe, La, makes this excellent OBJ
servation:
'Cowardice asks, is it safes
Expediency asks, is it polite
Vanity asks, is it popularg But
conscience asks. is it right2"
Few words could be so arranged
as to express more Of human frail-
ties and emotions than these.
There is world of wisdom com
blned in them and each division
might be taken for the text of a
real good sermon or lecture. But
the last is the most powerful, or
should be. ~,
Behind every human action
there is a motive. This motive is
either good one or a bad one; it
is either criminal ornot criminal /:
it is either righteous or UPRIGHT
eous; it is either for good or for
bad. This is true as rule.
Some times there may be a motive
that is innocent; some times an
individual shoots an arrow into
the air with no purpose to injure
any one and afterwards find that
! 1t lodges in the heart Of a friend.
But these are the exceptions which
belong to. all rules. In criminal
procedure, no man can be convict
81 OF q crime unless there is a
criminal intent. This must al
ways be conclusively shown, so
that when conscience asks is it
right" there is necessity for
squaring the deed with the con
science.
Thrice armed is the man whose
cause is just, I" for he has not only
the impelling power to contend

think well of himself unless he

would hold bad opinion Of him.
