With the opening OF the 1913
pennant race in the National
League games will be started at
2 o'clock in the West Side park.
This will be the earliest getaway
time for any team in the league.
In the majority of the cities
games are begun at $3.50 or 4 !
O'Clock. New York begins at 3.
Murphy gives some excellent
reasons for his change OF pro-
gram, but they are reasons that
will appeal more to the box office
than to the average local fan.
Two o'clock is too early for the
majority of the bugs to get away
from their offices and this will
leave them only the Saturday and
Sunday games on their baseball
menu. Much dissatisfaction is
bound to result.
On the other hand, Murphy
points to the large transient
sport gang, and says they will
come to the games in increased
numbers if it is possible to see a
game and get away by 4 o'clock.
These are substantial arguments
and the increased patronage from
this source may offset the loss of
the local fans six bits each day.
This is a radical change for
Murphy to make, particularly in
view of the antagonism he has
aroused by firing Frank Chance
and some of the other veterans of
the team. Only actual experience
will prove its worth.

The state of Gwalior enjoys great freedom, and has a very enlightened Maharajah. It is practically independant of the British govt. The Rajah was educated in England and speaks English well. He has introduced
 many invocations in the State such as electric lights, beautiful roads, an ice factory, steam laundry. motor-car service be- tween different towns for the general public, an electric press, a newspaper, a theater, a leather factory, a clothing factory, stone quarries etc. The heads of most of the institutions are Englishmen. There is a well
 organized, tho not universal,
 educational department. So you see that we do not live in a jungle but under quite favorable circum- stances. In fact one can have

Among the Churches
METHODIST CHURCH

In the material elements. last Sunday was rough day. but we had a real nice congregation at both morning and evening ser vice, and we had a specially good time in holy fellowship with God and with each other. The lord is good to Zion. Next Sunday we will preach on the subject of Music. Music on earth and music in heaven. By the ser vice of song heaven and earth come close together. Next Sun- day night, our presiding elder, Rev. J. K. Farris, will be here and preach for us. That will be his last appointment with us for this year, and we trust the people will give him a large hear ing. On Monday morning our last quarterly / conference for the year will be held. And it IS greatley to be desired that the church and the town will make a good showing for the year.

The work l came to India to do was to teach Political Econo- my and the Bible in the Chris tian College of the Presbyterian Church at Allahabad. 1 found difficulties in my teaching. be- cause my work was altogether in English, and 1 was not aware of the conditions from which my students came. Therefore when the chance came to leave the college for two years and live in native state, where 1 might study the people and the language, and have the opportu- nity to serve the Master at the same time, 1 accepted it. Dr. Forman. who was formerly here, was called home by the sickness of his wife, and that left Gwa- lior open. My wife and 1 left Allahabad and came here last November.

His Highness. I take part in the boys sports, football, hockey cricket and tennis. Many of the boys come to a Bible Class I have for them, and many of them read the New Testament. Such in brief are the duties of the missionary of a Native State. The work is not at all showy. but 1t IS so very important not not only for it's own sake but also because there can be no other mission here but ours. There are two ladies here Miss May and Miss Hill, who work in Bananas, or in the homes of the women who are not allowed to come out. They are doing a splendid work, and are both workmen who need not be asham- ed. My wife's time is taken up mostly in looking after the two children of the family, and in do- ing the correspondence which her husband is too lazy to do. She is a very busy lady. For four or five months every year, we must be separated, as she must stay on the mountain, for the children's sake. as children can not stand the hot season on the Plain.
 You can easily see what a great downward pull to ones Spirits must daily take place, when one remembers that there is so much need of the Gospel and so few of us to give it. There is probably less than a hundred Protestant Christians in a state of millions of people. Please remember our work in your prayers.
 Very sincerely yours,

more luxuries in the way of ser wants, etc. than one could have at home, as service is very cheap here.
 There is one great difficulty however. and that is that the Maharajah is not very favorably inclined towards missionaries. We are the only mission he al- lows in this place and he only allows us because of his love for Mrs. Warren, a lady who gave 25 years of service to the people of this state. She was a mem- Der of our mission and came in when the present Rajah's father was ruling. We are therefore compelled to work very carefully and try not to make any mis- takes. The work must be man to man for public preaching is discouraged. The personal ele- ment counts a great deal, and so we do what we can to win the friendship of the Moharajah and the Queen. My wife calls on the latter and sings with one of them. Last week 1 was invited by His Highness on a motoring trip. We went out to lake and there transferred ourselves into a beautiful 35 fit. petrol launch. We had tea. etc. on the boat. At this time, he told me that he hoped that 1 would teach the young men to be good Hindus and Mohammedans; that is to remain in their own faiths but to be better than they are. II had to tell him that would never have come all the way from America to do that, for we think that the teachings of Christ are the very best possible thing for India. He is friendly and always a gentleman, but we are never sure but that he might turn us out at any moment in a 1 very gentlemanly way. of course. therefore we talk to individals in the cities and preach little in the villages.

MexicO's Difficult Problem.

In recent news letter from Mexico,
written by Frank G. Carpenter, is
brought to attention what is probably
the principal obstacle to the establish
ment and maintenance of orderly gov
eminent in that country, says the AL
bany Journal. 1t is a condition which
is somewhat similar to that which ex-
lists in the Philippines.
Of the more than 100000 people
who constitute the population of Mex
leo, Mr.. Carpenter says, less than
3,000,0 900 are whites. About 5000, 900
are of mixed blood, and the remaining
5000, 900 or thereabout are Indians.
The Indian population is divided into
many tribes, each of which has Ian
guage and habits and customs more or
less peculiar to itself A scientist who
made study of the Mexican Indians
found no less than fifty-one languages
and siXty-nine dialects.
The full-blooded Indians are practi-
cally uneducated, and the mixed bloods
are but little better off in respect of
intellectual development. They per-
form manual labor for the whites or
live in their own villages pretty nearly
as their ancestors lived centuries ago.
Obviously, the science of government
is unknown to these people, and from
their number it is always easy to Sc
cure recruits for revolutionary move
mentS.
Mexico has a difficult problem, which
requires for its solution master minds
and much time.

1T IS doubtful whether, out of the 1873
men who composed the 1913 legislature,
20 could be found who are worth to the
state, or society, or to any of the pro-
fessions or callings, half what the state
pays them for their services. The over
mastering idea which prevailed among
the lawmakers and dominated their
course of conduct during the entire ses-
sion, was a desire to see how far en-
ployers of labor could be tortured with
liabilities, pains and penalties, and still
continue their vocation. This idea,
deadening as it is to political endeavor1
and destructive to enterprise, was
moulded into law, and the Industrial
Commission converted into an unlimited
monarchy, and made the repository of
power to control, absolutely, the liabil-
tiles of the employers of labor, and the
manner in which industries are to be
conducted by their owners. The vacu-
UNI headed contingent of exploiters who
broke into our legislature of 1918, ap-
parently had a deep seated grudge
against every man who employs labor
for they certainly multiplied his troub-
les, and increased his hazards, far be-
yond all reason and common fairness.
val of rape on thrift and industry that
are today left stranded by them in the
Serbonian bog of doubt, uncertainty
and despair, there ''to live or die, sur
vive or perish" One more such legis-
lative session will be all sufficient to
end the struggle for existence, now be-
ing waged by industry to keep it's head
above the polluted waters of progress
iveism. Ignorant of the laws of trade
and cost of production, our legislators
have placed upon owners of industries
employing labor, burden not borne by
their competitors in other states. It
ought to have been as plain to them as
a pike staff that competition in this
country is so strong that fettered in
dustries cannot hope to successfully
compete with those which are unfet-
tered. -MadisOnian.

The Humble Nickel.

The humble nickel runs the street
cars of the nation, provides it with CT
gars and soda water, buys most Of its
magazines, operates its slot machines
and has made the moving picture more
powerful than the political orator. The
nickel has built 100 acre breweries and
5000, 900, 900 subway system. Where
the 50 bill has given up in despair the
humble nickel has stepped in and oper-
ated vast theaters. The quarter ran
the magazine business for many years,
and made a mess of it. But when the
nickel went into the game it put the
magazine on every news stand and fill
ed the American home so full of Sun
day newspapers that father has to
clear it out with pitchfork on Monday
morning. Place a dollar bill in the
pocket and it has to be removed with
forceps and anesthetics. But put
nickel in the pocket and within ten
minutes it has leaped nimbly into the
till of the nearest cigar store, soda
fountain or moving picture emporium.

And Where Will It End?

After more than seven months SEES
sion, the legislature finally adjourned
on Yesterday Our Madison correspon-
dent tells but family of the fractional
waste of time that prevailed and the
tremendous appropriations piled up.
Ten years ago the biennial cost of the
state was 81, 1886, 947. 43, now $50, 298, :
030, or almost five times as much, and
that's going some, thank you. One of
the new commissions established two
years ago cost $50, 900 to maintain last
year. And it is but one of many that
are created with each recurring session
of the legislature Such facts ought to
impress those who pay taxes or have
any stake in the states prosperity.
While the increase in population has
been but II per cent, the expense of
government has arisen to an alarming
extent The university was appropri-
ated S., 943, 578, normal schools So, $40, :
CSC, or a total of So, 793, 534 for these
two classes alone, or almost 81, 500, 900
more than it cost to run the entire
state government for two years, doz-

pay his taxes at the close of the year
is wondering where it will end. --Viro-

A Mind Rea der.

One night at d court ball in the TUT
leries Napoleon III. was so attentive to
a beautiful young woman as to excite
comment among the other women At
last in response to a direct tribute to
her beauty she said:
''Ah. but your majesty compliments
me too much!'
'How remarkable" he replied, with
a twinkle in his eye, that you should
say just what every other woman here
is thinking!"
