gime. Joe Wood is the only man
in the whole circuit who really
leads him in the percentages. but
even at that it Is doubtful if his
pitching has been as effective as
that of johnson. Wood has had a
pennant- winning club behind him
all the year and has been in shane
since the beginning of the season.

johnson is not the johnson of old.
Instead of the awkward Westerner

Bill Smith Has the Southern League Guessing
May Spring Old Trick to Evade Salary Limit

Just because a man had batted 1921
in the American league in 1901
didn't prove to be any sign that he
could bat better than $50 in the
Southern in 1912
This year Bill Smith is getting
his gorge of youngsters. He
switched to the other extreme at
the first Of this season and tried to
stock up entirely with kids 1t
didn't work well. as the averages
demonstrate
Next season Bill will return to
the right principles He will have a
team made up largely of young
sters, but with enough old-timers
on the Job to steady down the kids.
Most Of the successful teams of the
Southern league have been built on
that principle
A MOTHER thing that Atlanta fans
can look for next year is a
changed attitude toward umpires
Bill smith believes that certain
amount Of word beating and intim-
idation is necessary to keep the
umpires giving a reasonable mum
Der Of close decisions his way. lie
knows that the arbiters hate to be
tongue dashed, and he certainly
knows how to apply the tongue,
when the occasion arises
Bill is a peppery individual and
isn't above jumping on an umpire
II the circumstances seem to war
rant 1t. He showed that the day Of
the Justly famous "Shuster Incl
dent'-when an umpire of that
name called a game on account of
darkness, though it was still broad
daylight Bill went after Shuster
like terrier dog after rat. and
IL players hadn't interfered would
have hammered him sure.
Bill has been in Atlanta long
enough to know however, that the
public and the press is opposed to
anything bordering on Towdy ball.
on the road. however. he does not
feel himself in the least restrained.
and he gets all out Of the umpires,
that he can.
Strange TO relate, however, the
umpires seem to like Bill and he
gets along nicely with them.
A MOTHER thing Bill Smith is
going to do for the Atlanta club
is 10 pitch overheard the tank ar
lists. Bill Smith doesn't mind an
occasional glass OF beer But he
will not stand for drunkard If
81 player gets 10 drinking on Bill
Smiths club-off goes his head.
Bill realizes that drunkard is al
ways an inefficient ball player
but more than one drunkard can
always put the team on the blink by
creating other drunkards.
A MOTHER thing that will depart
! with the coming of Smith will
be Indifferent playing. Under the

JUDGE MADE LAW"

The just feeling pervading the
community is that q bench of
judges Is no more competent
than the legislature to decide as
to the wisdom or necessity Of
laws for the health. safety and
progress and the material and
moral welfare of the community.
That is a matter of enlightened
opinion which the courts have
no right to arrogate unto them
selves. The courts Of England
do not do 1t, nor do the courts Of
any other country except ours.
And ours base the right to do so
on fundamental or constitutional
provisions for the safety Of lib
erty and property. which are not
peculiar to this country at all,
but are to be found in all sys
tens Of government and juris-
prudence. No such meaning was
ever given to these safeguards
of property and liberty until by
the judges in this country. 1t
is Judge made law, pure and
simple. 1t were well II the con-
stitutiOn of the United States
were amended by the addition
of a provision requiring 1t to be
reconsidered by constitutional
convention every twenty years.
the same as in this state. and in
many II not most Of our states.
A constitution must grow and
change. like everything else. but
the more gradual the better. AS
Macaulay says Of the British
constitution. Although the
changes have been great, there
never was an instant Of time In
which the major part Of 1t was
not old" That is the way to
amend constitutions and laws
gradually and prudently. But
the class Of decisions which l
have mentioned never had any
justification under the constitu-
ton, and it is annoying to have
to keep on amending the consti-
tuition to nullify them.-Mayor
GaynOr of New York.

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES.

Insult, hatred, resentment. de
sire for revenge. the lust of con-
quest. the eagerness to grasp ter
ritory. the desire of men whose
passions are excited to, fight
those are the things which stand
in the way of the reign Of peace.
The making of treaties is but an
incident. n step. an agency In the
great process Of changing the
standards of mankind. Of pro-
noting a sense Of the obligation
of self control as between the
people Of different nations, just
as in the long course of centuries
the obligation OF self control as
between individuals has been in
culcated. 1t is n long and often
a discouraging process. No one
can read history and see what a
vast change has taken place in
the sense of justice. in the sense
of compassion. in the cOndemna-
ton of brutality and in the self
control Of the people of the earth
and not be encouraged to believe
that 1t is q process which is ever
and ever going on. The great
question is not whether we are
ending war in making these trea-
ties. 1t Is whether we are doing
our part in sur day and genera
ton to carry on that great proc
ess that is taking mankind out
Of the reign Of brutality into the
reign of justice and virtue and
compassion and kindness. Let
our country. which has done so
much to exhibit to the world
standard Of individual liberty
and justice. do its part. not tech
meal, cheeseparing and meticu-
lous in Its dealing with words:
but. having due regard to its
great office in the world. let 1t do
its part as a moral agent to lead
mankind. but step 1t may be.
but still a step in the right direc-
ton. along the path Of rational
and Christian progress by the
ratification Of these treaties.-

TOO MANY ON THE
STATE PENSION LIST
Too Many Commissions Created-Blood
Sucking Vampires

Washington has too many boards
of one kind and another. and while
some of these boards notably. the
board of control and the public SER
vice commission have been doing a
work of great usefulness and value
some of the boards are obviously
useless. expensive and wholly unnec-
cssary.
The fact is that about the only
for existence is to give employment
to political lame ducks and hum
CRY gang of place hunters who for
years have been hanging around
Olympia at public expense. 1t is
time to divorce some of these lechcs
from the public teat.
Like every other state capital
OLYMPIA is the Mecca of numerous
political mercenarics who spend their
time dreaming and scheming to get
their paws into the public treasury
and since the issue has been raised
it might be well to find out just
how many unnecessary clerks, stem
ographcrs, agents. inspectors. assist
ants and deputies of one kind and
another are feeding and fattening
at the public crib 1t is barely pos
sible that the state can get along
without the very able services OF
some of these very distinguished pat
riots else call the pay they receive
a straight pension-Seattle P.-l.
