TRAILING
SPLITTER TO
ITS LAIR

aNS NJ" o-
Sugden doesn
advance any theory for the real orr
gin OF the sphere or the twirler who
happened on It., All he has to say is
that, in 1898, when he was catching
for the st. Louis Nationals In the old
12-club league, Wee Willie Sudho6
used to use splitter and use IL with
intelligence and control
Sudhoff, according to Sugden, got
the idea from Frank Bowerman, who
gave IL to him while both were In the
employ Of the Baltimore club The
only other pitcher whom Sudhoff
knew to be In on the secret was Billy
Hart, the veteran, who is still pitch
ing for q good ball club down In the
Southern league.
Willie used to use his splitter only
once In q WHILE" says Sugden. "and
always relied on his speed and his
curves to fool the batters as q steady
diet. But, when there was q pinch
and the batsman was In hole, Willie
would just as likely as not get the
sign from me for his splitter. The
sign we had was funny, too, In this
day and age. used to put one finger
In my mouth when wanted II.
'Tll never forget. the time Willie
worked his splitter on Bobby Lowe,
Bob was at bat In q place where q
hit meant the game, and he had been
touching Willie up pretty we'll al day.
I signed for the splitter twice and Lowe
missed each Of the balls foot. After
the second one he dropped his club
In dismay and asked me what In the
world sudhoff was using that day.
Bob will bear mo out In the story too,
for I had occasion to remind him Of
II many years after and he helped
me convince q lot OF incredulous PEG

MY visit to the recent automobile
shows In New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago has brought very forcibly to
my mind one idea which / believe will
be adopted by the manufacturers dur
ing the coming year, and that II Is
no longer q question Of yearly models.
The talk OF the yearly model IL
very little heard among manufactur.
ers now. They are beginning to build
series Of cars Of q certain type OF
body and chassis with changes so
slight that II has become simply q
matter Of refining original construc-
ton rather than introducing some
thing entirely new In other words,
believe that the manufacturing OF
automobiles has gotten to a point
where II Is no longer necessary to try
to attract the buyer with something
entirely new.
New types OF body and chassis
viii appear from time to time, but the
real mechanism Of the car has been

The Problem of Prison Labor.

According 10 a writer in the Amer jean Magazine for July. the furniture trust employs l,5l5 convicts in seven different prisons located in five diff ferent states, in the manufacture of furniture The average wage paid is q cents a day. which goes to the states. None of it goes to the pris~ onerS.
 IL is degrading to American labor to force it to compete in skilled work with convict labor The employment of prison labor in competition with free labor is contrary to the Ameri- can principle of protecting labor.
 It will not do, however, to maintain convicts in idleness.
 Fortunately, prison authorities throughout the country are begin ming to realize that there is an easy and simple solution of the prison labor problem. This solution has been brought to the front by the nation wide movement for good roads
 Road building can be done by con victs as well as by anybody else, and it does not bring the prisoners into competition with workingmen who have at considerable pains fit led themselves for skilled labor.
 Many of the states have begun to employ convicts in the construction of roads This is a policy which Arizona should take up and make its own. The territory is in need of a comprehensive system of public highways. By using convict labor, these highways can be provided at comparatively small expense.
 Arizona has already taught the Test of the country how to make convict labor valuable by giving to the convict, as compensation for his work a day off his sentence for every day that he labors on public work. This system works so admirably that many states are adopting it.

The Responsible Government of Can

The July McClures has a timely article by former Senator Albert J. Beveridge on "Canadas System of Responsible Government" It is a timely article. because of the deep interest in Canadian affairs which has been created in this country by the widespread discussion Of Presi- dent Tafts reciprocity policy
 Of Canada itself, or of its system of government the average Ameri- can. it must be confessed. knows little in detail He probably would say that Kipling's phrase, Our Lady of the Shows" is fairly descriptive of the country; and as to the sys tenn of government. he would say, Why, it is 8 British dependency- the Canadians are supposed to man age their own affairs in way, un- der direction of a governor general sent out from London"
 Senator Beveridges Illuminating discussion of the Canadian system of government makes it clear that Can ada governs herself, absolutely and altogether independently of the brit ish crown. There are, to be sure. two appendanges of government which support the fiction of imperial control-a governor general and senate made up of men appointed for life. But the governor general is d mere figurehead. He approves what ever the ministry does-and therefore has been wittily described as the rubber stamp of the ministry Nor is the senate any more important than the governor general What ever the house does is approved by the senate. So that, for all practical purposes. the government of Canada consists of a house of representatives and a responsible ministry-the cab inet composed of a prime minister and sundry heads of departments.
 MT Beveridge well describes the Canadian system as a system of re- sponsible government, as it is pre- cisely a government directly respon sible 10 the peoples representatives. The Canadians, in forming their gov ernment, took lessons from American experience and tried to avoid the mistakes which they believed We had made in forming our constitution.
