Speculation as to whether the ANA
teur Baseball Association Of the District
is going to be as strong this season as
1t has been in the past, Is making the
amateurs slower in coming In under
the organization that controls all base
ball on the sandlots.
But hve leagues have signified their
intention Of being a part of the ANA
teur Association where last year some
nine leagues took an interest in base
ball Affairs. While the amateur sea-
son has been retarded by poor weather
for baseball and affairs Of the inausura-
ton, there appears to be a lack OF in
terest this spring which was not mani
tested In former years.
Those IN charge of the amateur as
soc.ation say that things will boom
along later when fair weather will
give promise OF baseball as steady diet,
but that at this time. affairs are more
or less chaotic and that interest Is YET
to be awakened
Expects New League.
Five leagues are already under the
association banter and 1t is more than
likely that the new circuit, the Central
League, which is headed by W. o.. Cor

The Panama Tolls eIunder

Recent systematic efforts TO ascer-
tain the opinion of the country on the
exemption of our coastwise shipping
from Panama tolls has grown sub
stantia unanimity in favor of its re-
peal. The action of Congress, taken
in the oppressive and politically dis
tinguished senator has said, no one in
Washington was able to judge the
matter reasonably, is regarded every

ond thought, as plain reputation Of

ain that tolls and conditions" shall
consensus of these opinions shall
have been published, says an editor
ial in the February Century" it will
be discovered to glow with indigna-
ton that the national honor. should
have been held so lightly. The rep
udiation has been repudiated Not
only the press, which from the begin
ming has been overwhelmingly on the
right side, but presidents of universe
ties and colleges, superintendent of
schools. clergymen, chamber of com
merce, publicists. lawyers and many
Others have spoken in no uncertain
voice on this question of supreme and
urgent Importance. When a matter
is one of both right and policy, you
insult the person to whom you APP

consideration first. In this regard the
record of the country is something to
be proud Of Whoever may be con-
fused, Americans at large see clearly
that the main issue Is the national
honor
To those who cannot see that any
question of honor is involved. 1t may
be pointed out that the undeniable in
jury to our prestige both abroad and
at home Is one which, counted mere
ly in dollars, is beyond estimate. The
exemption is excused as a measure OF
national defense: 1t Is just the oppo-
site, for there is nothing so powerful
in national defense as national pres
tige. which not only gives us strength
in peace, but support in war. In what

What John Drew Thinks Of American
Women.

John Drew, the celebrated actor,
contributes 10 the February Womans
Home Companion an interesting ar
ticle entitled What | Think OF the
America Woman" Following Is an
extract
"Restlessness In woman taxes
many forms, passes through many
phases.
"A restless woman made the dis
covery of the Western world possible.
Hers was the restlessness OF amDl-
ton and the little learning then deem
ed a most dangerous thing for WON
en-. 1t would be ungrateful indeed
for American men to decry the rest
lessness which springs from know
ledge.
"a 'restlessness woman wrote a
book which crystallized scattered pub
lie sentiment, created a new political
party. and finally freed an entire race,
though the price, civil war, was
heavy. Hers was the restlessness
which quivers under the wrongs OF
others. And out of all this restless
ness on the part of women have come
the progress of humanity, the rise OF
great nations, the adjustment oil
great wrongs. To the alarmist the
present-day agitation for the social
ed individuality of woman means the
elimination of marriage VOWS, the des
tructon of the family and the home.
Nonsense! When the American
woman has sifted out the mass OF
theories offered by agitators and dis
covered Just what she wants, whether
that be economic independence or the
ballot, she will proceed TO round on
its unsightly, rough corners, polish 1t
into presentable and pleasing shape,
and inject IL into our national and
family life. What is more. men will
accept it and like It. At the present
moment they are standing back,
watching her make up her mind. and
watching the operation with a smile
on their lips, not with fear In their
hearts. Any delay in reaching cri-
sis is due to the apathy OF the mass
of fairly well-contented women, not
to the opposition OF men. The fem
mist is distrusted by her own sex,
not by men, for American men trust
American women TO work out their
salvation in way that will be best
not only for themselves, but for their
men-folk and the entire nation.
These are the women who, when
the right moment comes, will ask for
the ballot and get ii. and then pro-
coed to do good with 1t, as they have
accomplished all other good things
for the race, not independently, not
individuality, but with men and
through men"

THE HUDSON CLOSED AT LAST
Beats 1910 Record When Ice Stopped
Boats on January 10.

Albany, Feb 6.-Navigation on the
Hudson River closed today when the

Navigation Company left Albany for
New York on its 317th trip for the

The Thin Blue Line

Next July will be the fiftieth ami
versary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
On that historic field, in that month,
will gather a goodly number of gray
haired veterans of the Union army
and perhaps only a little less number
OF Confederate veterans to meet and
fraternize and and live again the day
Of Pickett's charge. The last surviv-
ing soldier of the Revolutionary War
died In 1869, eighty-eight years after
the surrender OF CORVALLIS. II will
be 1858 before eighty eight years will
have elapsed since the surrender of
Lee. Some of the veterans of the
great Civil strife are sturdy men to-
day, but can anyone say that one of
them will survive for forty years?
The records of the Grand Army to-
day show a death of Civil War
veteran on an average of every four
teen minutes. They are rapidly pass
ing. There is a reduction of 3I.S04
from the pension list in the last
year, in spite of additions by special
act of Congress and by a more liber-
al condition in the law.
There are 1882 less veterans
than there were on the rolls in 1902.
though Congress has opened the pen.
sion gates wider and wider and the
annual cost of pensions which has
been showing a little falling of will
be $20,500,00O more in 1914 than In
1913 according to present estimates.
No one can begrudge the veteran
who really saw service, or who real
ly volunteered willingly, a liberal
pension in his decline. The years are
few when there will be veterans of
IN Civil war on the pension list. So
let them have the pension and a good
one at that say We all.-Hyde Park

The Marching Soma.

No one knows the inspiration OF a
tramping song better than the soldier,
and most regiments have their favor
lite airs, which they love TO yell when
on march. The men Of the Manches'
ter regiment have ine reputation
for singing on the march, and two OF
their favorite songs are "Killaloe" and
Brian Boru." both of which give OPP
portunity for some hearty shouts at
intervals. Similarly the Yorkshires,
when route marching, enliven the way
with Dan Tucker" a song in which
the words are of no account and the
tune series of diabolical yells.-Lon-
