RAY COLLINS.

In Ray Collins, Boston has one
of the greatest left-handed pitch
ers in the national game.
No less an authority than
Hugh Jennings, shrewd leader of
the Detroit club, offers this OBJ
servation for the comfort of the
National league fans and the
Giants In the worlds series.
Jennings compares Collins to
Eddie Plank, the veteran south
paw of the Athletics, who stood
the Giants upon their heads In
the last worlds series, with a,
port side cross-fire that whistled
around their necks like a blue
wing teal coming down the wind.
- Collins hasn't had much press
agenting, but the records show he
has been mighty effective. The
Giants have shown they are weak
against high-class left-handers
this year, and 1t is reasonable to
suppose they will run to form in
the worlds series.

A well.Advertisea PLAY.

The Record-Herald offers TO bet a
big red apple against a ginger snap
that none OF the aldermen who voted
for the order" calling on Mayor Har-
rison TO bar the PLAY Boy Of the
Western World" from Chicago the
sters ever saw or read the play. But
what difference does that make The
advertising is Just as valuable. The
best way to popularlze a theater
production is to prohibit its presenta-
ton. The Record-Herald observes
that the councils order was fool
ish," since 1t gives the mayor no
power he did not already possess
aud that the play cannot be pre-
vented under the Illinois constitu-
ton unless IL is subyersiye OF order
and morals. The Tribune takes a
similar view and sees in the foolish
action Of the council an attack on
the sacred right OF free speech. sug-
costing that IF We are going to
kili freedom OF speech. let US be
systematic about IT,"
Nos. Chicago may look for the
Play Boy" along most any time and
when II comes. Il probably viii re-
auire five ;heateFs to accommodate
the trade the city council has
drummed M, and the chances arc
that the eouneilmen will be found Up
in the bald-head rows. The manage
ment might well afford to pay each
councilman a SING commission for
this excellent advertising IL ii were
not for the looks OF the thing. In
the meantime. the council having in
continently filled the theater. 1t will
have created another better oppor-
tunity for the play OF its orderly
instinct in suppressing riots and
demonstrations such as greeted the
PLAY Boy" in New York. That would
be real public service.
The councils resolution stated
that the play taught no morals. "

The Late Edwin Hawley.

The death of Edwin Hawley re-
moves commanding figure from the
railroad world. His power was al
ready felt in transportation affairs,
and 1t is safe to say that he had by
no means reached his zenith. Mr..
Hawley was named by the late E.
Fl. Hartman as the coming genius
OF American railroad men and 1t is
quite evident that his ambition to
achieve played a vital part in I'M
dermining his strength and precipi-
tating his end. Widespread reor-
CARNATIONS and realignments CT di-
rectorship will now set in as a con-
sequence OF this death.
Mr.. HawIey and Mr.. Hartman
had much In common, aside from
their friendly business associations.
They worked along similar lines in
their genius of organization, they
we're temperamentally alike, they
both enjoyed somewhat meteorie
careers in the railroad world, rising
within a comparatively brief period
to positions of commanding influ-
ence. Mr.. Hawley, though steadily
gaining in power, was hardly the
force In finances and transportation
that Mr.. Hartman was and might
never have been had he lived years
longer. although Mr.. Hartman him
self predicted that Hawley would
reach the top.
The Hartman distinction will, no
doubt. stand out to itself for many
years TO come. and 1t is possible, II
the management Of our railroads un-
dergoes the change which the ten
dency OF the times indicates for that
and other great industries. that no
man will ever again enjoy quite the
pre-eminent position held by Mr..
Hartman at his death. near as Mr.
Hawley seems to have come to IL.

Blocking the Peace Treaties.

II strikes us that Senator Hepburn
Is unnecessarily alarmed over the
danger OF "railroading" the peace
treaties through the senate. SO long
as the opponents OF the treaties sue
coed in their carefully laid plans OF
obstruction, there win be no rail-
reading. The unfortunate fact Is
these peace treaties relating to the
large and important subject OF the
comfy OF nations are being sub
iected to cheap filibuster. Since the
senate has been In session for two
months and has done nothing with
the peace pacts. 1t will be difficult to
impress the people by talk OF rail-
reading" them through. e'
II those who are blocking action
we're In closer touch with the peo-
pie, they would certainly realize that
they are not carrying out the popu-
lar Will. Undoubtedly the majority
of Americans desire TO have these
treaties enacted and are out of SYM
