tariff and ended with an average of
AZ per cent. This was the way they
revised the tariff downward" The
hand of monopoly should be taken
from control of the price of those
tools which cultivate American soil.
The products of our country should
not be handicapped by a senseless
and exorbitant tariff which falls up
on the consumer. Big criminals who
thrive under our trust-made laws
are allowed to flourish In high
places, while Government officials
hunt the little offenders to earth in
eager and vengeful fashion. They
should all be brought to justice
alike. Eight millions Of our peo-
pie live in homes they do not own.
They deserve the same privileges
under a free Government as their
more affluent brothers, but they do
not get it on account of the unequal
laws which exist.
Mr.. James closed bis splendid adj
dress with an appeal for democracy
and for an active participation In
the primary election next Saturday
which is to choose the chieftains
who shall bear our banner to vic
tory. He spoke of his own candi-
dacy for U. s. Senator. and said he
wanted the commentator, well,
done, thou good and faithful SER
want" exemplified in the returns
which will show what the voters
think of him in promoting him from
the House to the Senate-our high
est law-making body. He promised
the same devotion to duty in the
future that has characterized his
actions in the past. He thanked the
ladies in beautiful terms for their
presence, and said there is no pub
lie question which does not affect
their interests.
Mr.. James address was replete
with logic and a sprinkling of hui
NOR and heightened his we'll known
prestige as a national character.

with Frank Navin, boss OF the Detroit

The signing OF ball player or two
Is never made the occasion OF buster

any rate. Nor does the releasing or a

obligation TO rush out and set TO work
the ponderous mechanism OF baseball

in petty glee. Mr.. Navin holds his
peace over such matters.
Then. when the time approaches for
the club to take the field In its spring

that creates the envy and admiration
OF all his compartriots.

IIchiqan Commissioner A. A. W.

Detroit Is on the eve OF its annual
state championship basketball series
between the Y. NJ. @. A. five, holders
of the title. and the Detroit Athletic
club, which this year appears In the
role of challenger.
These games are undoubtedly our
most important winter athletic event.
Their success this year implies
three-fold responsibility upon the play
ers, the officials and the public.
Basketball in Detroit has reached a
critical stage. The time has come
when all parties concerned must take
a determined stand for clean play.
Foul work by players. lax officiating,
and the endeavor of partisans OF COM
peting teams to influence the award
ing or Withholding OF free throws
have brought matters to such a pass
that clean play is a handicap and the
game il in grave danger OF being de
serted by those who understand and
appreciate its finer points.
l want to commend to the earnest
attention OF every player. official and
supporter OF basketball the following

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-As. schedule
makers, President Lynch, Secretary
Heydler and Barney Dreyfuss OF Pitts
burg. are today receiving the plaudits
OF the baseball public for one OF the
piftiest programs ever adopted by the
National league. The schedule re-
duces the total mileage several thou
sands miles, avoids conflict in every
city except Chicago, and here only on
Sundays. and one Saturday, when dual
games will not hurt much. and pro-
vides for only two double-headers,
10th of these in Boston.
None of the eastern clubs plays two
series in succession with the same
club and each eastern team has two
Saturdays and two Sundays in the
west. Owing to the fact that Chicago
and Pittsburg will switch back anc
forth a number of times, in order te
play Sunday games In Chicago, the
mileage of these two teams is heavie!
than any other two, Chicago LEADING
