A WISE CONCLUSION.

The settlement of the baseball strike in the manner in which it was accom- plished was a happy solution. The amiable adjustment was much better than a continuance and the determi- nation on the part of the players to return to the game was an acknowl- edgment of their wrong. They realized that they were liable to a good sized fine or possibly blacklisting. and wisely concluded to get back at the first op- portunity. While they have been fined by the league, the Detroit management will look after that settlement.
 The trouble will mean that there will be steps taken to prevent any mors such rowdyism both on the part of the crowds and the players. As long as roofing is confined to decent express sions, it is one of the features of any game. but there are instances where 1t is carried far beyond the bounds ot decency not only from the bleachers and grandstand but by the players. Foul -mouthed roofing should be check ed and if should not be necessary for @ player to participate in the adminis- traitor of a rebuke The management can put stop to it. and should do so by properly policing the grounds and having such persons elected. This will avoid all such objectionable abuse and be decided help to the game. The thousands who patronize the game would welcome such an improvement of the observance of decency by the crowd and also by the players, for some of them can trespass on the feelings of sensitive natures quite as severely as the roOters.

TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN

The choice Of Senator Elihu Root for temporary chairman of the national republican convention at Chicago next month Is no surprise. Senator Root is a man of national prominence such as is required for the office. and he will be able to look well after the duties tn the permanent chairman is chosen. Without question he is probably one of the best men that could be selected at this time His qualifications are unquestioned and in the present cam palgn he has held aloof from partici- pEung in the stump speeches so that he has stirred up no antagonism. Sen ator Root has declared, however. that he is Taft man, and stands for the renomination Of the president, but at the same time. while he has possessed the ammunition with which to conduct most successful attack on the ex- president he has not taken sides. His long association with Roosevelt and his campaign attitude therefore. make him one who would not receive the strenuous opposition by the Roosevelt faction, and yet at the same time he Is known Co be loyal to the president
 Colonel New acted advisedly in the choice and shows an inclination to get the convention going with as great a degree of harmony existing as possi- ble. The presiding officers will be put to test next month that few have experienced # the indications amount 10 anything. and Roosevelt promises that they will.

REASON FOR DISGUST.

Expressions of disgust are often made at the spectacle of president and an eX-presdient stumping the country for the presidency Such is the feeling shared by many. but it needs no exhaustive examination of the situation to reach the natural conclusion that when the honor of the American government is at stake, the president should not falter. The cam paign has had its pecuharities. and the general trend Of the opposition to the government has been Co stir up a feel ing of distrust This has been done by Roosevelt in a manner which left no other course to pursue but for the president to show the fallacy of the claims.
 President Taft got into the fight re- luc,antly. He was loath as president Co lower the dignity of the office, and had the campaign of personalities been allowed Co go along without a refu- tation Of the demagogic statements, distortions and claims made for the missuidance of the people, there would have been just cause for criticism of the chief executive. Instead of cause for feeling that the president should be criticised how much stronger should it react on the eX-presideut who laid his plans 10 bring about such a state Of affairs. and who at the same time is seeking to be replaced in the presi- dents chair What a mockery has been his attitude for one who poses as the champion of the people. The spirit of disgust should be so strong that the Colonel would realize that the people put their stamp of disapproval firmly on his campaign so carefully planned 10 belittle the president and wreck the party.

THE LORlMER ACTION.

Now that tho senate committee has given its report on the Lorimer case with a majority and minority report. it remains for the senate to take action upon it. and how it will act is of no small interest throughout the country. While the committee favors the sup port of the senator when it recom mends that it adhere to the former action. the amount of sentiment which has been stirred up concerning the case makes it evident that the opinion at large is the other way. At the present time in the senate it is doubt fui if Lorimer can get a majority of the votes.
 The Lorimer situation has been made one of the big handles throughout the present campaign. and while Roosevelt has been hammering away at him and his methods it is also tine statement 0f President Taft that tho senate sh0uld place ifs stamp of disapprovaI on the mess and mass Of corruption ur0u which his election was founded.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

The theater is an entirely different affair from the book.
 The book appeals to the imagina- tion; the theater supplies the imagina- tion The first requires effort, the sec ond none.
 To highly intellectual persons, those endowed with vigorous creative pow CTS, the stage is always a little disap- pointing. It does not stir them as does the book
 I remember that Horace Bushnell complained of the playing of Shakes peare, and insisted that it was more satisfactory to read his dramas than to see them performed; the acting and especially the scenery he thought crip- pied and offended the fancy one had already formed.
 There is no doubt but the theater is the most primitive form of amusement It is the very best institution for in- teresting, impressing and hence mould ing the character of the populace.
 And the moving picture show, as the cheapest and most direct form of thea ter holds without any doubt the great est possibilities for influencing the public, whether in education, morals or sentiment
 Let me have the cinematographs of people, and I care not who writes their books, makes their laws oI breaches their gospel.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
FROM ALL ANGLES

there are lots of fine men who are short. A man who carries himself well never looks short. Fl never mo- ticed that you weren't tall You really seem almost as big as Walter, and really he Is quite giant.
 No l haven't decided yet. It's hard to make up ones mind. dent believe in hasty decisions.
 "Oh, are there other people waiting? Well, was here first and besides there ought to be more clerks. We'll, sup pose I'd better engage the stateroom because Pm sure Walter would wish 1t. Still if he only realized how un- necessary it is for sme to have state room he wouldn't mind my taking a compartment or even & section. 1 think he would be glad to have me save such lot of money. However, 1 suppose I'd better be on the safe side and take the stateroom, don't you think so? What would be your ad- vice?
 No, I suppose you don't give ad- vice. Still, l thought you might have some opinion to offer. I wish Walter were here to decide fer me. But, of course, if he were here there would be no question. He's the most extrava- gant man-he always takes the state room when we go anywhere together. It really doesn't cost so awfully much more than two berths. does it?
 No, don't reserve the stateroom for Wednesday. It just occurs to me that maybe l won't go until Thursday. might as well stay over and go to the matinee Wednesday. Still, Walter ex- poets me to leave here Wednesday.
 Perhaps I'd better telegraph him and see what he thinks. He may wish me to go Wednesday after all but un- less he insists I shall not go till Thurs day, You see I can't decide now I'll be in again. Chicago News.

rAE cnAL slTuATloN-

With the resumption of work by the coal miners today under an agreement which will hold for four more years, it would seem to be good time to begin to consider the interests of the consumer and see that he is to receive some protection both now and after those years have passed. Things will go along for a time, the operators get ting a raise. the miners a raise, and Inc consumers paying for 1t. This has continued indefinitely, and now it is very unlikely that there will be any drop in the price of coal for the sum mer because of the difficulty in reach ing the agreement Everyone is pleas ed that the strike was averted, but everyone except the operators and miners was the loser by the threatened strike. Thus far the ultimate consum- CT has been ignored in the eonsidera- ton of all such problems Very little attention is paid in such matters to the public demand for lower prices even with the many investigations into the high cost of living.
 With coal retailing at a high price normally. additions this year have sent it still further away from the reach of those who need it most. but with the adjustment of conditions which caused the rise and the assurance of peace for some time to come, the purchasing public would seem to be warranted in anticipating a drop in the price. Nor maj conditions prevailing normal prices should return.

A Simple Way to Make Soft Soap

While its use is not general, some housewives prefer for certain cleansing purposes to use soft soap, or soap in paste form, believing 1t more convenient or economical than ordinary soap.
 Gold Dust washing powder can be converted into the finest soft soap by dissolving it in hot water in the pro- portion of heaping tablespoons of the powder to each quart of hot water. When cool, it is ready for use.
 Gold Dust works more thoroughly and quickly than soap or other cleansers.
