To Official Scorers:

pitchers ability.
To accomplish this. il is desired to OBJ

which each pitcher was practically re-

the basic idea of the former earned

earned by opponents in the pitchers

rule:
Charge the pitcher with an earned
run every time a player completes the
circuit and scores by the aid of base
hits. sacrifice hits. stolen bases, bases on
balls. batsmen hit wild pitches and
balks. before chances to retire the side
have haen offered and missed
The intent of .he rule i To include un-
der earned runs all the factors that
produce runs for which the pitcher is
chiefly responsible.

THE SANE FOURTH.

The ladies of Rock Island who are
making for a sane Fourth Of July cele-
bration and who have complained of
the premature demonstrations already
Shown in the use of explosives, are
entitled not only 10 the support of
the municipal authorities that has
been promised them, but of the moral
cooperation of all classes of people
& Contrary to the universally accept
cd policy TO celebrate Independence
Day along more rational and safe
lines, Rock Island has begun its cele-
bration according to the old time Gus.
toms much earlier than usual this
year The firing of crackers is heard
nightly in all parts Of the residence
district and while Young America is
probably the same today as It has al
ways been and is looking forward TO
a noisy and boisterous observance OF
the glorious day, the time to teach
the lesson OF different kind Of out
burst OF patriotism is right now at
the very outset.
The sane Fourth is the only safe
Fourth. There are plenty of ways to
give patriotic feelings vent other than
in disturbances that are dangerous
and destructive. .

sRECKLESsNES IN OPERATING
AUTOMOBILES

The automobile collision on Fifth
avenue yesterday demonstrated two
things. one is that recklessness on
the part of motor drivers has not yet
been checked in the city, and the 9TH
er is that the practice of permitting
mere boys 70 operate machines should
be prohibited and stopped. The driver
who precipitated the accident is a boy
Is years of age. Comment has not
infrequently been made in Rock Is
land on the fact that boys in knee
trousers, whose feet scarcely reached
40 the controllers in the floor of the
car, have been seen operating cars.
Such boys are unquestionably excep-
tlonally bright and competent, but
could not have the discretion of older
people in an emergency. and hence
are apt 20 jeopardize not only them
felves but other people.
4 Small boys should not be permitted
10 operate motors on the streets un,
less accompanied by older people, and
older people ought to be obliged, with.
put exception, to observe regulations
fesigned for the public safety.

Mr.. Brown, l may say, has record to-

He has written an epic which critics de-
clare will live with the classics we

His lyrics have spirit and grace and he

His fame as lawyer has travelled afar;

From filing saw to eXpounding the law
IT'S the truth that tell
There is little Uriah ]. Brown cannot do,
And do very we'll.
But Uriah J. Brown who possesses renown
and has done things in various ways
To prove that he owns some superior
gifts and is highly deserving Of
praise,
Though his features are cast in a classi-
cal mold. though his figure is splen-
didly trim.
Has never succeeded in getting the girls
TO pay much attention to him;
His manners are faultless. his breeding is
fine: he can ride. he can row, he can
dance:
He is light on his feet, his appearance is
neat,
Few lines mar his brow;
But he doesn't appear to have much Of q
chance
With the ladies. somehow.

He has figured in suits for divorce and
been whipped. yet the maidens are

His weak little chin seems to draw itself

And he minces his steps where he passes

that Richard Kendall and Lawrence

shooting in the Mcdonald family near

that a letter has been found and is

found in the pocket OF man who died

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth oistrlc.

The senate has changed There is
no doubt about that. A knowledge
tina: if they desire to remain in public
life they must have some regard for
campaign promises, seems to be
working cut for the public good.
RATES TOO HIGH.
The excellent ana very successful
parcel post system now in vogue in
the United States is making a lot OF
money for Uncle Sam. In fact, it Is
making altogether too much money.
The public is being charged too high
rates.
The parcel post is cleaning up profits
at the rate Of over S20,000,000 a year.
Nearly two-thirds of the gross reve,
nue. received from carrying parcels is
clean profit. Representative David j.
Lewis CT Maryland and George ]. Kin
dell of Colorado have been laboring
with Postmaster General Burleson 10
get him to reduce the rates. The law
gives the postmaster general full pow
er to do anything he wants in the way
of reducing rates or increasing efic'
iency.
SUCCESS OF TARIFF BILL CERTAIN
The tariff bill will pass the senate
with the free wool and free sugar fea
lures intact. This seems to be almost
certain at this time. At one time il
was feared that some of The senators
would forget democratic campaign
pledges and refuse to support the bill
1t is now believed that every democrat
in the senate, save the Louisiana sen
ators, will support the tariff bill.

DOLLAR DIPLOMACY"

The abandonment of what has been
called Dollar Diplomacy" is one of
the most commendable changes thus
far made by the administration OF
President Wilson. Dollar Diplomacy"
is the policy which has heretofore
prevailed of government protection OF
the property and business of Ameri-
can citizens engaged in carrying on
private enterprises in foreign coun-
tries. The Wilson administration de-
clares that American citizens who in
vest capital in foreign countries do
so at their own risk. The government,
in other words, will not undertake To
insure them against loss by riots or
instructions. The government will
protect the lives Of American citizens
and require indemnity from foreign
governments in the event Of death or
injury of American citizens when Wis
iting or residing abroad as it always
has done. but will not go into partner
ship with them in business matters.
Dollar Diplomacy" as a policy
adopted by previous administrations
under the influence of the invisible
government" has encouraged the in
vestment of millions of dollars abroad
that otherwise probably would have
been invested at home to the advan-
tage of American industries. dol
lar Diplomacy" added much labor and
vast expense to the government in its
diplomatic dealings with foreign ma.
tons in settling claims for damage to
private property.
This policy was an unwise one to
begin with and the use of it has grown
| to such proportions, due to the ex
ploitation of the natural resources OF
| other countries by American syndi
Gates in their greed for gain, that II
! friendly government relations of ,ouI
government with other governments
The government has no interest IL
and should take no diplomatic respon
sibility for its citizens investments
in foreign property. The courts o
! foreign countries should be appealed
to for relief if there is any just cause
for relief, and not the home govern
ment. This government has enough
troubles of its own without shoulder
ing those OF greedy syndicates ben
on exploiting the natural resources o
other countries as they have don
those Of their own country.
The plain people of the Unitet
States, who too long and too PATIENT,
have endured the burdens of Dolla
Diplomacy, will rejoice that Presiden
Wilson and Secretary Bryan have pu
an end to il.
