L'ENVOI OF THE FAN.

When the post season series is finished and the
bats and the balls laid aside
When the last winning run has been garnered
and the last Spectator been tried.
We shall rest and faith. shall need IT

Till the Cubs and the Giants and Athletics snaii
awake in the spring with fresh hope.
And those who were wise shall be happy, they
shall cash in their bets the next day.
They shall dine at the Astor and Belmont, ana
not mind at all what they pay;
They shall eat from brand-new home piate'
and call for a highball, too,
They shall circle the bases In taxis. and slide
into bed when they're through.
And only the keeper shall praise Us, and only
the keeper shall blame.
And no one shall ask US whcrefor We bet on the
nexttO-last game
But each for the JOY Of playing. and each in his
Shall play the game a. he saw It for the umpire
Of games they are.

has been suggested that the Commits

TO APPEAL CASE

Ruling of the United States Com

Washington, Oct. 21,--It is not
alone the growers of oranges and
lemons who are interested in the de-
cision of the Commerce Court which
cided against the domestic producers
and for the railroads in the rate case
appealed to them from the Interstate
Commerce Commission All pro-
ducers, and especially farmers and
fruit-growers are interested In this
fight for fair rates.
One of the leading fruit trade
journals Of the country the Fruit
mans Guide, of New York. Chicago
and Cincinnati in its last issue says.
ct may be stated on the best OF
authority that the action of the Com
merce Court in overruling the find
ings of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the lemon rate will
be fought to the last ditch by those
interested in the retention of the 81
a hundred rate, and the prevention
of the restoration of the old rate OF
$125.
"Those back of the fight in the
interests of the Coast line shippers
while naturally disappointed at the
decision of the Commerce Court, are
in no sense dismayed. and say that
the fight is far from over If neces-
sary the point will be taken to the

at is said that the Supreme Court
has upheld the Interstate Commits

more than possible that the Supreme

fort will be made to get action

PLEA FOR OLD ARMY MEN
Paymastcr Whipple Urges Increase of
Salary and New System Of
Retirement.

Washington, Oct l9.--Tribute to
the government employee is written
in the annual report of Paymaster
General Charles H. Whipplc of the
army in a plea for an increase Of
salary and a system OF retirement
when the employe reaches the age of
incapacity. Referring to the sta
tistical increase of so per cent in
the cost of living during the past
fifteen years, General Whipple says
the increase is asked not as reward
for past services, but. as an actual
necessity"
To attain and maintain an eff
ficiency impossible under the present
law, General Whipple recommends
that at least fifty per cent of the
paymaster's department be made per-
manent details This could be oh
tanned, he says by making the ma
jor and higher grades permanent. ITe
also recommends that the period OF
detail to the grades OF major, lieu.
tenant colonel and colonel be extend
ed from four to six years, as, unde
the present order, it is not until a
officers four year detail Is drawin'
to an end that he has attained the
highest point of usefulness. This il
because of the thorough knowledge
he must have OF the peculiar laws
decisions and regulations governing
the dlsbursing and accounting OF
government funds, which cannot be
acquired quickly.
The mobilization of the army last
summer along the Mexican border
says General Whipple, demonstrate
the ability to pay promptly considci
able bodies OF troops under con
ditions similar to actual war.
