government from the control of money
in politics. For this purpose we adj
vocate, not as ends in themselves, but
as weapons in the hands OF the peO-
pie, all governmental devices which
will make the representatives of the
people more easily and certainly re-
sponsible to the peoples will.
This country as Lincoln said be-
longs to the people. So do the natural
resources, which make it rich. In pre-
serving them, which is an additional
duty. we must not forget that monop-
oily is based on the control of natural
resources and natural advantages, and
that it will help the people little 10
conserve our national wealth unless
the benefits which it can yield are Sc
cured to the people. Let us remem-
ber, also, that conservation does not
stop with the natural resources, but
that the principle OF making the be5t
use of all we have required with equal
or greater insistence that we shall
stop the waste of human welfare which
flows from the unfair use of concen-
trated power and wealth in the hands
of men whose eagerness for profit
blinds them to the cost of what
they do.
Il am emphatical1y a believer in
constitutionalism, and because of this
fact l no less emphatically protest
against any theory that would make
of the constitution a means of thwart
ing instead of securing the absolute
right of the people to rule themselves.
All constitutions are designed and
must be interpreted and administered
so as to fit human rights. Lincoln

Atlantic City Likely to
Have Chicago Cub Squad

Atlantic City, N j., March 12.-At-
lantic City will become the training
ground of future National league base
ball stars, as we'll as the site of big
league exhibition games, if the plans
of Charles w. Murphy, owner Of the
Chicago Cubs carry The baseball
magnate also plans daily flights here
next summer by two of Count Zeppe-
Inns passenger-carrying dfrigibles.
Frederick Donaghey and Harry AS
kin, owners of the La Sale theatre
Chicago, personal friends of Mr.. Muir
ply and interested in the Cubs ar
rived here last evening, for the express
purpose of looking over the situation
here for the owner of the Cubs" If
they find that the field looks promis-
forthcoming they are empowered to
negotiate for the leasing of Inlet Ball
park, together with fields for airship
stations at the Inlet and at Longport.
Under a National league rule, each
team is restricted to carrying % sal
aried players, and Mr. Murphy is anx-
fous to have his excess players train
and play ball in some convenient place
like Atlantic City.
As Atlantic City is within three
hours ride of New York and Brooklyn
and within one hours ride of Phila-
delrhia, Murphy figures that this
would be the ideal place to keep his
extra players. for EN- 2rgency.
The idea is to have these excess
Chicago players form an Atlantic City
team and play regular games with in
dependent nines," said Mr. Donaghey,
land then when the Cubs had off
days while in the East they would
run down to Atlantic City and give
an exhibition game against their own
youngsters"
1t is also likely that exhibition games
would be played here by the PhillFes,
the Giants and the Brooklyn team, as
there is an extremely close relation
shin. between Philadelphia, Chicago,
Brooklyn and New York.
Wherever Murphy places his excess
ball players that's where the two diri-
gihies Will fly. This year Mr.. Murphy

cided TO finance an aerial meet there

been unable to trade himself to some

sisting that the team needed a player
more than it did the money, put his
foot down and persuaded Mr.. Dreyfuss
to allow Leifield to trade himself to
some other team for player who
would be acceptable to the Pirates.
Leifield is said to be anxious to trade
himself to the st. Louis Cardinals or

team preferred, but UP to date he has
had no offers as salesman of his
