Several of the tri-county league
teams will be materially strength

number of college players will
join them.
1t has been suggested that Cap

team would make a valuable man

home again until the afternoon OF
July 4. when North East will be
seen here for the first time. The
team plays in Aberdeen next Sat

PENN-MAR LEAGUE

The Newark Field Club did not
play game last Saturday because
of the rain. The club was scheh
uled to play in Strickersville. The
latter team will come here for
game on Saturday next.
The local club is going fine at
this time and should be holding
down first place by the end of, the

Standing of Tri-County League
Teams
Havre De Grace Now Leading

Rain prevented two of the Tri-
County League games last Satur-
day. Havre de Grace by defeating
Northeast. while Elkton and Port
Deposit were idle. secured the un-
disputed lead in the race, at least
for the present. Aberdeen by for
feiting to Newark, allowed the To-
Gals to tie them with 5 wins and 4
defeats.

Aberdeen Forfeited Game

Newark claims the game played
with Aberdeen on the local grounds
last Saturday by forfeit. After
the visitors had batted in their half
Of the tenth inning and the score
stood to 3. they refused to con-
tinue the game and give Newark
their bat ip the. tenth, claiming that
they had to stop at that time to
catch a train. 1t would seem to be
Il clear case of a forfeit game and it
is hard to see how President Moore
could possibly give any other deci-
sion. should Aberdeen make an ap-
peal. While the game was started
a little late because Of wet grounds.
it is understood that no agreement
was made relative to stopping it to
let the visitors catch train. What
makes Newark s case all the strong
er is the fact that Aberdeen had
batted in the tenth and then refused
to give the local club the same
chance. Had Aberdeen scored one
or more runs in that inning. put
ting them in the lead. it is dollars
to doughnutS that there would have
heen no dispute about stopping the
game for train. They would have
went right on without saying a
word about catching a train.

from the canal and the rapidly developing field Of
Latin America.
This is the official warning Of Jonn Barrett drec-
tor general of the Pan-American union, based on
thorough reports. These show that every important
port Of Europe is being improved to the highest
degree Of efficiency for oversee commerce; every
European shipbuilding yard Of standing is busy to
its capacity.
European governments are instructing diplomatic
and consular agents to report upon every phase OF
trade opportunity expected to result from the canal
private business companies of large established trade
and new companies are sending agents and scouts
to Latin America.
In Japan three steamship companies are building
vessels for the canal. Japanese banks are consider
ins the opening of branches in Latin America.
On the west or Pacific coast of South America,
Chile, Peru, and Bolivia are spending S5o0oo,o0o in
opening up their interiors with railways. Brazil is
putting in rstclass condition every port along her
5000 miles of coastline and spending 100000 600
in constructing new railways into the interior.
The plain fact is that while the Federal Govern
ment and some of its commercial organizations and
interests doing much to get ready for the canal,

efforts if it expects to reap full profit 1t is great

views of the trust problem, the attitude he believes
the country must adopt toward Big Business" 1t is,
briefly, frank recognition of the fact that competition
cannot be brought about by statute and that the only
alternative is regulation Of concerns which become
monopoes or which nearly approach control of
any business or industry as practically to dominate
their field
Governor Wilson says that the@way to solve the
problem is to regulate competition" Thus far he
has not made it clear to the average voter what he
means by the regulation of competition. The gen.
eral impression is that we have been trying by
of the Sherman law for a number of years to dc
that very. thing and have met with signal failure
Exactly how Governor Wilson proposes to succeed
where there has been such failure remains to be
The question is one of the most serious that coil

we shall determines what shall be the policy of the
Government toward Big Business" The issue will
be settled by the people. To the end that they ma,
reach wise conclusion they should closely follow
the discussion The statement of Colonel Roosevelt
puts one side of the case with unusual force ans

MR.. BRANDEIS' SERIOUS ERROR.

Mr.. Louis D. Brandes was invited to address the
State Labor Congress of Massachusetts,, being it is
said the first outsider to whom the privilege of talk
ing politics before this organization ever extend
ed In the course of his remarks, which
throughout a plea for support of Wilson and Mar
SHALL he said:
A significant omission in the Progressive platform
was the absence of acknowledgment of labor's
right to organize.
1t is difficult to understand how Mr.. Brandeis
could have INDUCED such statement He should at
least have read the Progressive platform If ne did,
he could not have said what he did, unless with de-
liberate willingness to misrepresent. The platform
says:
We favor the organization OF the workers. men and
women a of protecting their interests and of
promoting their progress.
That is not all. The Progressive platform goes
farther, and declares for tine creation of Depart
ment of Labor, represented by Cabinet officer The
very next plank, plank that has had the support
of organized labor for many years before any party
adopted it into PLATFORM reads thus:
We pledge party to establish Department of
Labor with seat in the Cabinet and with wide jurs-
dicton over matters affecting the conditions of labor
and living.
Misrepresentation of the facts is favc:ite method
of the od-fashioned political campaigner. 1t was
hardly to be expected from man of Mr. Brandeis
! position and pretensions.

AWAITING AFFECTS

Uncertain as to What Reduc-

Returns from public schools on en-
rollment will be awaited Monday by
members of the Board of Education
and teachers with greater interest than
has been displayed for many years,
curiosity centering on the decrease in
attendance anticipated as a result of
the change in nonresident pupil tut
ton laws
The total enrolment in the District
exceeds 5000. OF that number $50
pupils last year were non-residents
This year. under the act approved
June S, only children OF persons in
the Government service who live out
side the District may attend Washing
ton schools without payment of tuition
or, in the other case of exception, chill
dren OF those who own property in the
District the taxes on which exceed the
amount of tuition that the children
would be required to pay.
The tuition fees range from $3.50 per
month for third grade pupils to $40 a
month in the manuel training schools.
The monthly tuition charge for non
residents in normal schools is 1880, but
these students are not minors, and can
evade the tuition charge by living IN
The tuition fees are jayable in ten in
stallments If one wishes to pay in that
manner. but the whole sum. in any
event, is payable by the end of the

SHOWS WHO'S THE REAL BOSS.

Very much dazed indeed are the Democrats Of
New York, and the managers of the Democratic
national campaign, as they discover that Mr. Charles
F.; Murphy doesn't intend to let them have even a
voice in nominating candidate for governor of the
Empire State.
The better element Of Democrats expected Sem
ator OGorman would lead their fight in the State
convention to prevent the nomination of Dix, whom
Governor Wilson recently, by implication, slapped Oh
the wrist
Now it develops that Senator OGorman will not
be delegate, or alternate, in the State con-
vention!
Mr.. Murphy made other arrangements.
Is the country going to be fooled into the notion
that delivery from the powers of bossism will come
through party so completely in the hands of the
bosses as this indicates?

WOULD JAIL HEADS
STANDARD O|LFOR
IGNORING DECREE
Waters-Pierce Company Will
Ask to Reopen Dissolu-
ton Case.

NEW YORK, Sept. H.-Attorneys for
the Wate rs-P Pierce Oil Company will ask
the Department of Justice, through the
Missouri courts, to reopen the Standard
Ou dissolution case and throw into Jail
for contempt of the courts ruling John
d. Rockefeller, John D. Archbold, and
other leaders in the old Standard OIL
crowd.
They claim that the Standard Oil, as
IL was constituted before the order or
dissolution was issued. still Is operating
in restraint of trade. still is a trust.
and that the standard Oil Company OF
New Jersey still controls all the SUB
sdiary companies.
Bulky Record Taken.
About 1000 pages already have been
taken in the hearing before Commits
sioner Jacobs and ii is expected that
another 1000 will be taken before the
conclusion of the mandamus proceed
ings are concluded.
About the only change noticeable is
that the directors and officers OF the
ally at 20 Broadway, instead of meet
ing formally in some other room,' an
attorney said today. .
They talk over the business of the
companies as they used to do before
the dissolution order. The men who
dominated the Standard of New Jersey
an dts subsidiaries before the courts
! order, still dominate them. The men
| who held a controlling interest in these
| companies still hold the same interest
| and still direct the activities or the var
| ious subsidiaries.
Order Not 0beyed.

in the parent company were told by
the courts to dissolve the Standard.

THE BUDGET PLAN.

President Taft is strongly and sensibly in favor
Of national budget. Of course, he cannot compel
Congress to adopt the budget plan But by directing
the department heads to prepare their estimates in
conformity to it, by co-ofdinatng and balancing these
estimates and comparing their totals with estimates
Of the Governments probable income, and by making
the resultant statement public, he can at least put
upon Congress the sole responsibility for adhering
to the present hodge -podge system.
There is no apparent reason why the Government
should not study its expense account with reference
to its probable income, just any individual or any
corporation would do. A system in which the ques-
tion DO need this less than that?" is
never asked is not productive of economy Our
method has been to give each department what il
needs, or what Congress thinks it needs in abiding
faith that Providence will prevent the aggregate
ceedng our revenue. Providence has been reason
ably kind thus far; and where it did occasionally fail
us, the Presidents authority to issue bonds to meet
the deficiency has proved not ineicacous means
of covering up.
Congress can, of course, stick to this old plan il
it chooses it order the Presidents budget thrown
out of the Capitol. But it must now do it publicly
and accept the attendant notorety.
The Washington times., 1912-09-21
PERPETUATlNG THE THIEFs TITLE.

Colonel Roosevelt got at the nub Of the Repub-
lican situation when in Of his Nebraska speeches
yesterday he called attention to the fact that the same
crowd which this year steam-rolled Mr.. Tafts NOM
nation through national committee, credentials COM
mittee and convention would in 1915 have complete
control Of the national committee, and would make
anything progressive within the Republican party
utterly impossible
This is feature which cannot be too often en-
phasized. Republicans who are urged to remain in
the party, on the theory that it can be saved" re
formed" and made progressive" from Within are
doomed to disillusonment. There is no chance
whatever of the Republican party being saved from
within. Look at the facts. They tell perfectly
straight story of the machines deliberate plan to hold
control at any COST to repeat in 1916 the thing
they did in 1912.
The national committee at Chicago unseated the
delegates from the Fourth California district select
ed by popular primary. The convention sustained
that action That provides precedent for the COM
mittee when it calls the 1916 convention, reject
all the primary plans Of choosing delegates, on the
ground that they not uniform, and lead to con-
tests. With all primaries rejected, the soap-box
methods will leave the machines in complete and
easy control.
The complete control of the Republican party by
the bosses is now assured. In 1908 resolution was
ton 1t came within handful Of votes Of carrying.
In 1912, when the one issue was to maintain ma
chine rule at all costs, such resolution Of
fered if offered, it would have had no chance what
ever. The old corrupt method of representation will
prevail in 1916. The Southern machines will send
up their delegates, usual, to vote the corrupt
Northern bosses tell them; the national committee
will be reorganzed into unanimous control by these
same bosses; and whenever there is threat of de-
cent independent delegation getting into the con-
vention to mar the harmony of the proceeding, why
off will 60 its head. No more unseemly rows here
| after
That is the why it is utterly useless for any
man with thought Of self-respectng independence
to remain inside the Republican party. He is not
wanted there. He will not be allowed in conven-
tion his counsels will be treated with contempt his
sentiments will be regarded as utterly immateria
Al that will be wanted of him will be his vote. Tne
toboggan is creased for him at every other time than
election day. The machine counts on the skds for
him, and then hopes that his untninking, unseeing
tradition-tied loyalty will induce him to vote the
ticket anyhow!
| The machine is wrong. 1t has wrecked the party
and 7 will realize just that before two month:
