BUYING PLAYERS is
"A GAME OF CHANCE,

New York forked over $1,000 for
Mr.. Marquard. You know the rest
up to date, at least, writes Grant
land Rice in the New York Evening
Mail. Cleveland crashed out $4,000
for "Heinie" Berger, and "Heinie"
has yet to set any great portion of
the trail on fire. Thoney cost the
Boston Red Sox S12,5OO in money
and traded talent, and Thoney has
not yet to show for the $500 part of
it. Comiskey dented his bank roll
about $500 for Lena Blackburn,
and after seasons trial Lena is
swinging but one mitt to utility
role. And there are others in the
same skiff-ball players who brought
big money upon the auction block,
but who fizzled quickly when the
showdown came.
The loudest noises in the profess
sion, however, who have furnished
the racket of late seasons, are the
ones who were yanked from the
bushes at little or no cost. Where
Indianapolis drew $1,000 for Mar
guard, the Augusta, South Atlantic
club, developed Cobb and Rucker,
and drew down $3.50 for the pair.
Cobb cost Detroit $3.50, and Brook
Ign drew Rucker for the remaining
$500. Where Providence picked up
$500 for Blackburn, Boston grab
bed '"Tris" Speaker from Little Rock
for $3.50. The Yanks paid $4,000
for Fred Glade and $1,000 for Russ
Ford. King Cole cost the Cubs the
dizzy amount of 200 bones, and then
proceeded to lead his circuit and car
ry Chances team to its fourth flag.
Connie" Mack drew Soombs for
nothing, Collins for nothing, RUDE
Oldring for $500. Krause for $500
an Baker and Barry for less than
$1,000 each. Ebbets nailed Ruck-
er for $500, Daubert for 81, 900 and
Wheat for $1,000. Walter Johnson
cost Washington railroad fare from
the west, Ed Walsh cost Comiskey
$3.50, and Schultz involved an equal
layout for the Cubs. Cincinnati has
paid $4,000 or more for many a
bloomer, but baked at showing out
5000 for Matthewson and let him
drift by.
Set over against the $4,000 and
$1,000 stars, how far do you figure
q lineup of people who cost a thou
sand bones each, or less, would trav-
Ell. One. for example, with about
this playing array: Catchers, swee.
ney and Archer; pitchers, johnson.
Walsh, Ford and Rucker; first base.
"Jack" Daubert; second base, Eddie
Collins; shortstop, Barry; third base.
Baker; outfield. Cobb, Speaker and
Wheat. These were all spring phe-
MONS at one time who had Just
emerged from the Bib Brush, and
who cost all told less than $4,000.
But today. with a run Of team play
developed, there isn't team in Ell
ther circuit near the same general
class. All Of which explains the ter.
rihc boom in the scout industry the
|past few years.

KNOCKING ARBITRATION TREATY
VIII Great Britain Remove Main OBJ
stacle 90 Agreement

Will Great Britain Remove Main OBJ
stacle 60 Agreement
Springfield CMass.) Republican.
1t has already developed that the main
body of protest received in Washington
against the proposed Anglo-American arbi
tration treaty comes from Irish societies
That these protestants are more Irish than
the Irish at home can easily be believed
for Mr.. Redmond has not ANNOUNCED that
the Irish party in Parliament was opposed
to the negotiations now in progress Yet
there is nothing surprising in the attitude
of the Irish societies in America. The
people most enthusiastically devoted to
Britain are usually to be found living
across the seas in such cities as Mel
bourne, Calcutta, Pretoria and Toronto.
The imperialist in Ontario usually puts the
king or the British prime minister to
shame. And so the Irishman in Boston or
New York easily outstrips the Irishman in
Cork or Dublin in subllmated dislike OF
England
This is a state of mind which undoubt-
eddy exists and which should be dissipated
before many more years shall have passed.
From the British point of view, ireland
should be placated for the sake OF i'm
perial interests. In his speech at Man
chester Saturday afternoon, Premier AS
quith truly said that "for the first time
there is q really, good understanding be-
tween the aemocracies of both islands.
Material ties quite apart from all ques-
tons OF sentiment bind them together in
indissoluble union. During the last few
years the Irish question has come to be
regarded more and more as the most urgent
part OF Great Britains great imperial prob
lem" Urgent 1t is. For Britain's rela-
tons with America must always be more
or less dependent upon two great connec-
tions-Canada and Ireland. -.-
The Irish connection between Britain and
America will probably remain hopeless
until the home rule question is settled. But
Englishmtt more and more are realizing
the necessity for home rule in order thai
Anglo-American relations may assume 9
normal aspect. The proposed arbitration
treaty, In support Of which Messrs. Asquith
and Baifour both spoke -eloquently q few
days ago, would enjoy fairer prospects II
the Irish question had already been elm.
mated from British, politics and IL the In
habItants Of Ireland could be brought. al
they easily could. to appreciate the valu,
| to themselves of the closest moral and
peace-making ties between the United
Kingdom and the United States.
Grant home rule, satisfy the Irish people
at home that England no longer Expresses
them, but rather is devoted to the promo
| ton of their interests, and there would b,
soon no more enthusiastic advocates thar
the inhabitants Of the Emerald Isle OF tn
arbitral agreement which the administra
ton is now endeavoring to frame And
this is because, under normal conditions
the Irish of the United Kingdom would
have every inducement, material ant
moral, to desire that their country shoult
be brought into the closest possible toucl
with the oversee republic which has be
come the home Of the larger portion of tn

Some New Democratic Leaders.

The Houston Post takes no stock in
this talk about the insurgent demo-
Gratis in the senate side-tracking Sen
ator Bailey and fixing up a new DEM
ocratic tariff policy. In fact, it takes
very little, if any, stock in some of
these senators. 1t says that anybody
who declares that the democratic sem
ators are preparing to overthrow
Baileys domination is an ignoramus
and anybody who believes it is an
idiot. For, solemnly avows the Post,
Bailey has never sought to dominate
the senate or the democratic party.
So much for that epigrammatical
candor. Now. here is the part of the
Posts editorial that really rubs up
close to the collar of some of these
freshly plucked reform" democratic
senators watch the list carefully:
We take 1t that only a small section OF
the minority belongs to the ultra radical
class Mr.. owen, who for twenty years
prior to his election to the senate was 9
shrewd lobbyist in Washington; Mr.. Gore
his colleague, VINO years ago was an un
successful populists Mr.. Hitchcock, who hal
been half populist and half democrat fol-
| twenty years, and Mr.. Stone, whose repu
tation as a slick politician is well known Il
the country, make great deal Of nois'
and probably they have nisled the simple
ton who wrote that.
"A shrewd lobbyist" an "unsuccess.
full populist," half populist and hall
democrat" and slick politician. =
So these make up the aggressive
forces of progressive democracy, &C
lcording to the Houston Post, one Of
the staunchest, rock-ribbed oracles Of
democracy in the country. The Posts
summary will make good reading 1
year FROM now.

Police Barbari.y.

OMAHA, May 1O.-To the Editor of The
Bee. Last evening about $40 o'clock at
Fifteenth and Dodge streets several po-
lioen en- had four men in charge awaiting
the arrival of the police automobile, in
which to convey the persons arrested to
the police station. L noticed that two OF
the arrested parties were somewhat dis
figured,A one particularly. who had been

policemen. This severely injured party, as
1 viewed the matter, was so roughly
handled while being loaded into the AUTO

his head started-to flow again very freely

such barbarians on It's police force that
1t .bshoovss its respectable citizens to take
residence in some other locality. Some
men when given authority do not use the
least particle OF sense or judgment in ex-
ercising such, and l believe II the above

Objections to Rockefeller Foundation

Acting upon the advice of the at
torney general, the president is un-
derstood to have decided on a veto
for the Rockefeller foundation bill,
should it pass congress. The reason
is, of course, not personal, nor inim-
ical to the great work sought to be
performed for humanity under the
terms of this endowment, but solely
in the conviction that IL would be dam
gerous to perpetuateaa power as stu
pendous as that represented in the
financial fortune of John D. Rookie
Teller. - }@N
The defect of the measure is-and
that is conceded by the trainers of the
bill--that 1t would permit the use. of
the Rockefeller funds for purposes
other than those named in the act.
The attorney general maintains that
the United States could not afford to
"perpetuate q creature whose tenta-
cles now touch practically all indus
tries" 1t is not improbable that II

scheme could be made to benefit civil.
ization is not questioned. But II
might also be misused, and there ID
no need for an instrument of such
potential evil as this, In the judgment
of the attorney general and president
would be.
The crux OF the thing lies in the
power the bill gives the directors Of

The fall Of Juarez, through the sur
render of the veteran Navarro, is un-
questionably a heavy blow TO the fed
eral power in Mexico and a signal tri-
umph for the MaderO rebels. II
seems to complete insurrecto COM
mand Of the north and to encourage
more aggressive rebellion elsewhere.
But all of this does not constitute
the vital fact in this revolution, which
Is the change that has come over the
civil powers in Mexico City, where, for
the first time in a generation, Presi-
dent Diaz's name falls In derision or
severe criticism from the lips of men
who heretofore have meekly bowed to
his iron will and given themselves,
their speech and their action to his
command Thus in the halls of the
Mexican congress is now found the
pivot OF the revolution. 1t is plain
that the old era is passing and new
era is at hand Whatever may come
of this war, of Madero or his demands
and followers, Diaz's day of supreme
rule is over and Mexico is facing a
new method OF government
This changing process might easily
be reflected in the half-hearted vim
that animated Navarro's men and, in
deed. in the abrupt decision of the old
warrior, himself, to surrender instead
OF die lighting, as he had but a few
hours before declared his intention
to do. Our own soldiers over the
FLYER agree with the rebels that the
task of taking Juarez was all too easy
The federal commander must have
seen the mutinous spirit among his
men and known the futility of fighting
that and Madero, too. Madero's
speech and treatment of his captives
was humane and magnanimous, and
undoubtedly he told the truth wher
he said most of them fought only al
a matter Of discipline and not for love
of country or principle, a force thai
will defeat any army.
From afar it seems that the federal!
blundered badly by not Fastening re
Inducements if they mmnt to hole
Juarez, since they had had ampl,
warning of the attack What effec
the loss of Juarez will have on Diai
is the question to which the answer
will soon develop.

A onsrtionahls Re.triction.

to be sure. does not occur during a
