The Bane of Business

Recently in an adjoining town
the sheriff was offered the goods
and accounts of a merchant for
what he could get says the Vir-
ginia Enterprise. The accounts
amounted to $1,000, and were sold
for the munifcent sum of SO. Why!
Because they were against members
of that class which never pays an
honest debt voluntarily or pay il
under duress if they can escape the
process server.
The prime cause of this state of
things is the credit system. As
the cancer is to humanity, the Gre
dit system is to the business world.
Politicians are quarreling about
Protectors" and Free Trade"
but if the system of pay as you
go" could be impressed upon the
people of this country it would be
of vastly more benefit to the coun-
try at large than would any politi-
cal issue ever evolved. The credit
system caters to the morbid desires
of a certain class of people who
live beyond their means who lead
a champagne existance on a beer
income. 1t gives them a chance
to get everything they want; not
what they really want, but what
they think they want. Then there
is class of people who lack moral
stamina; who never pay a book
account but pay cash when they
can't get credit. These human
parasites are the cause of more
real suffering than anything else
under our government, excluding
whiskey. And the economy of
nature, perfect as it is, lacks one
thing-a jumping off place for the
dead-beat.

TAME AFFAIR
School Meeting Saturday
Not Very Exciting

The annual School Meeting of
District No. IL held at the Central
School building Saturday afternoon
was devoid of more than ordinary
interest and the attendance was
meager.
The meeting was called to order
at o'clock by President Trezona
of the board. After listening to
the report of the treasurer for the
past year other matters of interest
were discussed after which the
chair named Geo. L. Brozich,
Harry A. Chinn and L. J. White
as an election board and the polls
were declared open for the election
of three directors to fill the places
of Chas. Trezona, A. ]. Fenske
and Axel Anderson whose terms
had expired.
No opposition to the reelection
of the above had developed and
only 81 found the election of suf-
fcient interest to come out and
cast their ballots. The polls were
open from 4 to 8 O'Clock and only
a few minutes after the close suf-
feed to allow the tellers to tabulate
the result which was as follows:
Chas. Trezona, 6 years)-------S6

Nursing AS A Career

1t IS said that nursing is one of
the most inviting fields of human
service and that its financial return
surpasses any other occupation
open to young women. 1t devel-
opes all the native graces of
womanhood and leads the way to
positions of trust and influence.
The demand for nurses is world
wide call.
The Philadelphia School for
Nurses, located at Philadelphia,
Pa, has undertaken to meet this
demand by offering free scholar
ships to young women in all parts
of the country. Room, board,
laundering, incidental expenses,
special financial assistance and
railroad fare home on completion
OF the course, are provided.
Length of Course, two years. AL
so special Short Course, and a
Home Study Course for those who
must quickly prepare themselves
for self-support.
The Philadelphia School for
Nurses is a benevolent institution
conducted without hope of gain or
profit in the interest of ambitious
young women. Readers of this
paper can get full information by

WITH THE MAJORS

In the three big league games he has
played Eddie Zimmerman has raped
out a single, a double and a triple. Ed
die banged out a double against Boston
yesterday. stole a base and scored two
runs. The former Tiger was the start
ing point of a fast double play which
cut off a run In the first.
Bert Tooley is not playing up to his
Eastern League form for the Brooklyn
ties. Yesterday he had three slip-ups,
but when he rounds into form very few
big leagGe shortstops will have the edge
on him in hitting or fielding.
Crawford, with two doubles, a single
and a pass starred in the Detroit-Chi-
cago game yesterday.

score of 2 runs to 1.

Says Rochester, Newark and
Baltimore Are Not Stronger
Than Last Year.
ffr FEEL that I have good reason

frr FEEL that I have good reason
for making use of that time
worn phrase. This is going to
be banner season. Never since my
connection with the Eastern League
have / seen so much interest and en-
thusiasm exhibited by the fans around
our circuit at the beginning of a sea-
son." said President Edward Barrow,
of the Eastern League.
THE liberality of the club owners in
buying players. building new stands
and making improvements at the parks
has shown that the magnates are not
out for the dollar entirely. In fact. I
might say in all truth that no league
in the country is quite up to the East
ern when it comes to showing true
craftsmanship or playing the game for
the games sake. The money-making
end of the business has always been
a secondary consideration in this good
old organization. 1t has paid bigger
salaries to players. built better parks.
paid out more money for players than
any other minor league, and compares
favorably now to the two major leagues
in all of those respects. 1t costs money
to win a pennant in the Eastern
League. and there isn't a club owner
in the league that wouldn't rather win
the flag and lose money than to make
money and not win the championship.
In spite of the fact that President
Chaplin and Manager CAMEL declare
they are out for a third pennant, !
look for the race to be much closer
than last season. The three leading
clubs Of last year, Rochester, Newark
and Baltimore, do not appear to be any
stronger. while the Montreal, Buffalo
Jersey City and Toronto clubs have all
been greatly strengthened. Jimmy Col
Inns, at Providence. is following out
the idea of some of the major league
managers by building up a team Of
youngsters, and his colts may prove
to be the dark horse in the race. The
genial James has asked the Providence
fans to give him and his youngsters
a fair show, and his great record al
Boston entities him to that.
"I will say a final word for the new
umpire staff by predicting hat It will
prove to be the best in the country
after the of the first few
games wears off. Success to all and
may the best club win!"

was appealed to by the men, but would
give them no satisfaction.
The Following letter was received to-
day from the specials"
1.-The special police employed at
Wiedenmayer's Park were handed a
severe Jolt when they received their
pay envelopes, to find hat they had
received only $3.50 per game, In p ace
of 81. When Mr.. McTague was spoken
to about 1t he referred the men to Mr..
Joe McGinnity. who would not listen to
them, but declared that was all he
would pay.
1.-THE men then unanimously declared
to strike, and IL fs hoped that all New
ark's special policemen will remain
away from the Newark Baseball Park
until this matter has been adjusted.
THE Newark Specfa, Police Death

A member of the special police force
who came into the office today had
his to say: "McGinnity Is surely a
cheap skate. Our men go TO work al

until they have escorted the man car

for that workl Why, even the Wat

Another thing, the boy ushers, who
work at the park each game for 2'

Teams that will participate in the pa
rade are ordered to report at the Con-
tinental at 1890 O'Clock. If possible
Manager McGinnity would like to have
the motorcycle and bicycle squad of
the police as an advance guard, but
this has not been definitely decided
upon The idea is that more speed
could be made If motorcycles or BIZ
cycles were used instead of horses.
The cycle squad would probably b.
dropped at the Market street station,
owing to the hard going below the rail-
road.

e~verybody's standpoint been so favor
able.
As to the Track.
First as to the track. All the incon-
venience of the old track, from the
standpoint of the riders and the ,.elple,
have been done away with. The riders
in quality and quantity are ever thing
to be desired. and they are all IN edge,
too. The presence of Clarke and Nc
Farland is a guarantee of a lot of fun.
Macs ambition for the last few years
has been to find someone to beat kra-
mer, and We must admit hat he came
so near satisfying his wish that there
was no fun in it at all.
Fogler, Lawson, Hehir. Gouletts Hill
and others we'll anown ars oil here,
eager for the opening day. .rhey all
have worked hard TO put themselves
into condition and their appearance
shows it.

condition so early in the spring. He

Will be something doing, and they are
going at it as if their lives depended

You cannot ever find q game Of
