National league to revive the at
~ tempt at secreting instead Of dis
closing real base ball news in the
winter time, imposing a fine upon the
magnate violating the rule. That is a
nice thing for a man whose business de-

for a while and see how soon the rule

these magnates. Base ball is a great
game, but IL has become a great business
largely because Of the great publicity II
has received. Limit the publication of a
news item to as few words as II would
take to tell 1t and cut out the boosting
and the gossip and the human interest

mates got off. They would be running
down to the newspaper offices and wait

ing editors, They don't want publicity,
oh no. not any more than they can get;
that's all. II comes in nice grace for some
of those National leaguers, who, like Mr.
Murphy, for instance, have been lifted
out of impecunious stations in life to
high seats Of financial ease by the pub
licity that has been given their secrets"
And the funny thing Is about Mr.. Muir
ply. that he went from the sporting
editors staff Of daily newspaper to the
lofty position he now holds in the world
OF frenzied finance, thanks to the philan-
thropic interest another man took in him.

At last the storage battery seems
to have been developed to a stage |
of adaptablity that renders its in
PRODUCTION as motive power
assured. In fact, it is already in
use in street car service, to limi-
ted extent, in many cities. For
more than a decade there has been
an expectant interest in scientific
and industrial circles directed to-
ward the experimentation that has
been in process in the efforts of in
ventors to produce a workable
storage battery. More than two
years ago, Thomas A. Edison an
nounced that he had solved the prob
lem, but not until within the past
few months has there been a con-
vincing public demonstration that the
battery NAV be used economically as
a driving power. 1t is yet matter
of doubt just how extensive and
comprehensive the demand which the
storage battery will subserve may
be. Mr.. Edison has been enthusi-
astically optimistic in the interviews
which he has given out concerning
this invention. He has declared
that the time is not far distant
when farm wagons and warehouse
vans will be driven by stored cleo
tricity almost exclusively. For
general motive power purposes, the
storage battery is now in competition
with the gasoline engine and gasoline
power has long lead. That stored
electricity will subserve valuable
uses there is no reason to doubt.
The extent aid generality of the
uses will be dependent upon the COM
parative cost. If stored electricity,
in ratio to the power represented,
can be retailed at saving over the
cost of the same power from gasoline
combustion, the stored battery will
soon be driving all sorts of vehicles.
Otherwise not.

The Pinchot policy was denounced
as senseless and cratic and directly
blamed for the great forest fires in
Idaho two years ago, which the speak
en- said might have been prevented il
sheep had been permitted to Craze in
the forest reserve.
Freight rates from the west to Bos
ton and eastern markets were de
nounced as robbery and the state.
ment was made that wool could be laid
down at Atlantic ports as cheaply from
foreign countries as from Idaho and
Wyoming.
Demand for an honest revision OF
the Aldrich tariff was made by Presi
dent Gooding, who declared that free
wool meant the death of the wool in.

That between the Pinehot forest
policy and the tariff agitation the
sheep and wool industry had been well
nigh wrecked, was stated by the
speaker, who asserted that only en-
ergetic action by flockmasters would
staye off disaster.

opened with addresses by Of
ficers and reports. Wyoming
