The Open Game.

Woodrow Wilson declares for the
"open game" in politics, as in foot
ball. He finds it has eliminated
great deal of the dirty work that
the umpire could not see" in foot
ball, and he believes it will do the
same thing in politics.
That is an appropriate metaphor to
come from a college president who
has turned politician. 1t is proper
sentiment and sound principle with
out regard to SOURCE.
The open game would be a great
improvement on the manner of pol
itics mostly in vogue and would lead
to better results. But the trouble
is, there is no umpire in politics
none at least unless, as Gov. Wilson
seems to intimate, it is the public
at large. But there are SO many
ways of fooling the public and the
public is divided into factions, so
that the chance Of making politics
open enough to reach the football
standard is not promising

Travelling For Trouble,

The travelling perversities Of the
President heighten as the risks de-
velop. To the 1900 miles of the
original intinerary 1000 more are
now to be added for the inclusion of
the border Southland.
This decision is reached after the
Presidential train had lodged pos

And there is also the heedlessness
Of political risks. His first swing of

gressives claim help in Kansas and

The Supreme Court Not to
Blame.
Blame.

In his defense, at Chicago yester-
day, Of the Steel Trust suit the Pres
1dent said in effect that the decis-
ions Of the Supreme Court left him
no option but to prosecute; that the
Supreme Court practically indenti-
fed the Steel Corporation as one of
the offenders against the law; that
thus his oath Of office, not any
thought Of possible political advan-
tage, constrained him to act.
The explanation does not explain.
The justification does not justify. It
is not fair for the President to lay
the blame on the Supreme Court say
ing that Il have done it because the
court compelled me to do it," The
President is unable to quote a single
line from either the Tobacco or
Standard Oil decisions that clearly
requires the institution of the pro-
ceedings begun at Trenton. On the
contrary, both decisions are full of
phrases and sentences that strongly
suggest that the Steel Corporation
has not violated the law. Charges
are not made against the Steel Cor
poration such as were made and sus
tanned against the Tobacco and Oil
Trusts. It has not crushed competit-
Ors; it has not raised prices during
an era Of rising prices; it has not
established a monopoly as the lively
price cutting and rivalry now mani
fest among the steelmakers sufficient
ly attest. The President does him
self no credit when he asserts "The
courts have made me do it" The
courts have done nothing of the sort.
On the contrary, in the Standard
Oil case it was practically declared
that bigness is not an offense against
the Sherman law. cit is remark
able" says the Chief Justice, when
discussing what is restraint of trade,
that nowhere at common law can
there be found a prohibition against
the creation Of monopoly by an indi-
vidual." The court suggests that
''this would seem to manifest, either
consciously or intuitively, profound
conception as to the inevitable OPP
Grafton OF economic forces and the
equipoise of balance in favor of the
protection Of the rights Of the indi-
vidual that resulted" The language
of the Chief Justice is numbering, but
his meaning is clear that as to doubt
full matters il is we'll to leave trade
and business alone.
Along the same line the Chief JUS
tice speaks with APPROVAL Of the re-
peal in England of the laws against
engrossing, forestalling, ETC., upon
the express ground that the prohibit
ed acts had come to be considered as
favorable to the development of and
not in restraint Of trade"

On his way upstairs he stopped on
a landing which led to a balcony
which overlooked the dining room.
Heavy red velvet curtains were draped
back on each side of the entrance,

ROYALTY AS THE GODFATHER
Difficulty in Europe Successfully Over
come by the Exercise of Some
Diplomacy.

In the early days of the reign Of the
late King Leopold of Belgium a sew
enth son was born to a Brussels wom-
an, n when the King heard OF it and
was old that the boy was the seventh
successive one and that no girl had
come to the family. he asked to be the
baby's godfather. Ever since then
every seventh son born in Brussels
has had the same honor, and the moth
ers have received gifts in keeping
with their station in life. King Al
bert, in carrying out the old adage a
short time ago, had some difficulty
because the seventh son was twins"
according to the Frankfurter Zeitung.
He could not stand for both boys, be
cause that would give the family two
Alberts. The remedy was found by
Queen Elizabeth, who suggested that
her little son., the duke OF Brabant,
be the godfather Of the eighth boy,
who consequently received the name
of Leopold.

Just how serious a problem tubercu-

just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject of an in

of tuberculosis is conducting in con.
nection with it's plans for tuberculo-
sis day on April 80. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number Of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
1t is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial, in the hands of every minister
in the country for his use in connec-
ton with tuberculosis day. Millions
of circulars and pamphlets or the pre-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
