NORFOLK GETS EIDSNESS
BY G. w. SWAN.

Chick Davis, the best fielding third
sacker in the District, yesterday signed
a contract with the Erie club, of the
new Interstate League. Several Virginia
League clubs were after Chick, he hav-
big received offers from Norfolk. Roam
oke. Newport News and Portsmouth
Last season Davis played with the
Pumping Station team, in the Capital
City League, and also with the South
land club. in the Independence League.
He has had little experience in the
professional game. as he received e trial
with a club in the Virginia League two
years ago.
Davis is perhaps the neatest fielding
third sacker around town. ard Is also
a fair hitter Chick will have little trou-
BILE making good in the fielding line. and
il will be up to the sticking end of the
game for him to earn his Job. Last year
Davis hit well, and improved all the
time, So he has a good chaince to stick
with the Erie aggregation, in a class B
league
Dutch Sertzer, the former Technical
High pitcher. was a member of the Erie
club last season, and will return to the
Interstate League outfit.

such hard workers-but at any rate

But say, old scout, don't tread on my

Johndee and that bunch, for they were

A Sermon to the Common Plugs.

Hello, you Common Plugs!-I mean
you fellows who toll and tug and
sweat for a bare existence in order
that you may sustain a system that
confers upon others the blessed privi-
lege of piling up millions and enjoy
ing all the luxuries and blessings of
lite. You not only deny yourselves,
but allow your children to go in rags
and uneducated in order to show your
great generosity to the fellows who
draw the salaries and pile up the
wealth through special legislation.
Such self-sacrifce was never known.
OF course it is charged that you vote
that way because you are party man
because you belong to this or that
political party. But of course you
don't do any such thing. You don't
care continental for party, do you:
You just vote that way because YOU
would rather see somebody else's chill
dren wear fine clothes than your own:
because you would rather see another
mans wife ride in a buggy than your
own. OF course you know your own
wife and children wouldn't look we'll
in society. 1t is their lot to wear rags,
and to labor and toll and sweat that
other people may live in luxury and
ease. And it is your duty to vote to
sustain system that will compel
them to do so. '-s ts41-. i44z st-ay1 as

I suppose you fellers get about rs

generous you are to takes75 cents and

At the Sign of the Question Mark.

This is time of interrogation.
Everywhere men are asking ''Why?"
Modern life is fairly bristling with
question marks
We are asking why, in one American
city, fifty thousand women are work
ing for less than living wages?
When a man can do the labor or
one hundred men, why do women and.
little children have to work through
the long day, or into the dead hours
of the night-for bread?
Why is so much of the burden of
taxation passed on to the consumer of
the bare necessities of life?
Why should one man make thous-
and million dollars, while millions of.
men have not enough to buy tomor-
rows bread?
Why is our government, instituted.
for the benefit of all, the ally of a few?
Why has this shield for the weak
become the weapon of the strong?
Why should men prepare for war,
instead of peace?
If the fault is in the system why not
change it?
If it is in the men, we paint the
flowers to our taste and make the
beasts of the field grow as we will
then why should we not by education
and environment make better men?
We have learned to fly like birds
and swim like fish-why should we.
not learn to live like brothers?
These and thousand other ques-
tons are being asked, but asked in a
new spirit-a spirit of scientific can
dor, of honest endeavor.
So long as We only asked why men
died with yellow fever, Havana was.
pest-house and the Panama Canal
was an imposibility. But when we
asked why men had yellow fever. the
cause was discovered inside the mos
quito and destroyed. And now Havana
is health resort and two oceans Join
in celebrating the. discovery.
We are not only asking why fever
OF unrest makes an unhappy people.
but we are asking why the fever exists.
:. We are applying scientific inquiry .
to the lives and government Of men.
which means that nothing is too old
or too well established to be ques-
toned. .

LET BRITAIN QUIT HUERTA'
Covarrubias Says Recognition
Should Be Withdrawn.
fBy Cable 10 The Tribune

London, Nov. 12.-Seflor Covarrubias,
formerly Minister for Mexico to
Russia said yesterday: "Asquith's pro-
nouncement at the Guildhall banquet
will do much to clear the air in Mexico.
Huerta has been supported by the be-
lief that Great Britain is in a sense his
ally even against the United States
OF this he has been convinced, and it
is right that the delusion should be
dispelled."
Asked in what way Huerta had
shown a reliance on British support,
Covarrubias said: "A few days ago the
United States presented what was in
accurately called an ultimatum. On
receipt Of this communication the first
thing Huerta did was TO summon a
conference of the representatives of
the powers, and especially Great Brit.
ain, TO advise him as to his reply. He
treated them as if they associated with
him against Wilson's advice.
"Huerta and his friends have, l re-
peat, regarded Great Britain as an ally.
If this is not so it should be made clear
by the withdrawal of recognition and
the consequent revision Of the relations
between the British Legation and the
Huerta regime"

Mexico City. Nov. 1.-The Finance De-
partment has sent out o circular to gov
eminent inspectors of chartered banks
instructing them TO take special care that
the banks hold the legal reserves of cash
as guarantee for their note Issues. The
circular says that although 50-cent pieces
were made unlimited legal tender. these
coins may constitute only per cent OF
the legal cash reserves, the remainder to
consist of gold coins or silver pesos
The Finance Department also has
authorized all banks to pay out mirror
coins for the bank notes presented, so rs
TO meet the requirements of employers,
labor and retail transactions. This is 4
modification OF the letter of the recent
decree by Provisional President Huerta
forbidding such payment.
Silver Withdrawals from the Bank OF
London and Mexico and the National
Bank were resumed to-day. though they
were less pronounced than yesterday. AT
