Politics is Not q "Gaane. .

II always suspect imam who
speaks of politics as a game says
Gov. Woodrow wilson in his Red
Bank speech. IF it is game it is
played for advantage, it Is played
in order to gain power, and man
can play for power if he regards it
as a game only WITH one object in
view namely, to serve the interest
which most nearly concerns fin.'
The man who plays only to win will
not hesitate to sacrifice principle to
aexpediency, and when elected we
need not be surprised II ne should
sacrifice the Interests of The public
to the interest Of his packers. Il
look out for my friends is the favor
lite boast of the professional politi-
clan. He prides himself on the 10y
atty to his party AMI. his clique, but
forgets that larger loyalty 10 the poo
pie which public service should in
spire. When we ALLOW men TO play
politics as a game t is the people
who lose.

Vicious Practices.

Especially to be noted in Edgar H.
Farrar's presidential address to the
American bar association is his con.
demnation of the statutes permitting
one corporation to own and vote
stock in another He pronounced
this the most vicious Of all legalized
corporation practices and said:
This provision is the mother of
the holding company and the trust
It provides a method for combining
under one management and control
corporations from one end of the
nation to the other Before these
statutes We're passed, the courts Of
the country had held with great
unanimity that it is against public
policy for one corporation to hold
and vote stock in another, and the
general ground of the doctrine is
that, such stockholding tends to re-
strain trade and to foster monopoly.
That this doctrine is true has been
demonstrated by the fact that most
of the great trusts have clothed
themselves in the form of holding
companies,

Rear-Admiral Reynolds Scores The
Treatment of Enlisted Men.
1ntimating that unless more re
spect is shown the uniform of the
United States sailor at Norfolk and
Ocean View, this section need not
expect large liberty parties of enlist
ed men. Rear Admiral Alfred Reyn-
olds commanding naval training sta
ton at Norfolk has written long
communication to the Industrial
Commission.
Admiral Reynolds mentions one
incident of apparent disrespect to
the uniform at Ocean View. He
charges that sailors in uniform were
denied the privileges of dancing all
the resort and were told to discard
the uniform of their country for civ
flian clothes.
He declares that Norfolk is fast
getting to .be an unpopular port
for enlisted men, because of the. bar
put on the uniform there.

Birds Nest Made OF Steel.


In the Museum of Natural His
tory at Soleure, Switzerland, there
is birds nest made entirely of
steel. There is a number of clock
making shops at Soleure, and in the
yards Of these shops there are often
found lying disused or broken
springs of clocks. One day a clock
maker noticed In tree in his yard
birds nest of a peculiar appear
ance. Examining it, he found that
a pair Of wagtails had built a nest
entirely of clock-springs. 1t was
more than four inches across, AMI
perfectly comfortable for the birds.

NEW BOOKS BY THE CARLOAD.
Publishers Win Put Over 1000 On.
The Market This Hall.

New York pnDfisnels will place
over a THOUSAND new books on the
market this fall, 900 OF which will be
fctions 200 memoirs, histories ana
works of science, and nearly $50
stories and books Of instruction for
the young people. That this is
straining the reading capacity of that
portion Of the public which is in
terested in books seems more than
probable, and the courage of the pub
fishers is something to arouse com
ment.
That the majority of these cooks
will no more than pay for themselves
is foregone conclusion. That only
a small fraction will really achieve
success is something which even the
sanguine publisher must admit. Yet
these men who print and circulate
the books prefer activity to torpor
and take their chances with full
appreciation of the risks they run.

GRIM STORY or TRAGEDY OF
THE NINE.
Death List in Last Ten Years Has
Reached Thirty Thousand in
NnrnInr

Reached Thirty Thousand in
Number.
Thirty thousand miners killed in
the United States in the last ten
years.
Seyenty-five thousand miners in
jured, many Of them MANNED for life,
in the same period
Eleven thousand widows made by
the deaths of the mlnersl
Thirty thousand shildren left ia
therless!
This terrible record represents not
only the accidents in the coal mines
but also the metal mines.
1t is the story of the tragedy of the
mine, but not the whole story. Ii
The mines of the United States In
those ten years had had the same
standards or safety as in the Euro
pean countries; ii the United States
had killed two in every 1000 en-
ployed instead of three or four or
five.
Fifteen thousand of the thirty
Thousand Americana miners. killed
might be living today.
Forty thousand out of the seventy
five thousand might have escaped in
jury. II
Five thousand five hundred wild
ows might not have been widows.
Fifteen thousand orphan children
might still have fathers.
This is the whole grim tragedy of
the mine epitomized. 1t is one OF
OF the most serious problems of the
country and the one that brought
the federal bureau Of mines into be-
ing 1t lis the great proplem that the
bureau Of mines, under the leader
ship DR.. Josph A. Holmes, it's direc-
tor, is attempting to solve.

changed hands at So. The demand for
all grades of tidy cattle was especial

much In demand as has been the rule
of late. Mich cows were dull and
quiet. Veal calves were strong for
all of the better grades but common
calves were dull and hard to sell !;
best calves brought $3.50 per cwt.

high as $40 The bulk of the offer-
