THE VALUE OF LABOR
&C. w. Post. Of Battle Creek. Mich.)

Labor is a commodity to be bought and sold not
wthstanding the maudln criticism of theorists
Labor is not the man himself whom consider part
Of the Divine, but labor is his output just the same as
wheat is the output Of the farmer and it is subject
for purchase and sae and upon its quality depends its
demand and it's value. There two kinds Of labor,
the manual and the other mental When the skilled
workman possesses a trained mind which directs his
hands, he rises in value and when he reaches plane
where his mind is so well trained that he in turn
becomes creator and must needs devise and direct he
then requires other hands carry out his ideas Then
he again rises in the plane of value to humanity and his
compensation must keep pace

four lesser luminaries of the Washing
ton pitching staff until they accumu-
lated a 10 to victory in the second
game of the stries.
Reb Russell, newest of Cailahan's
crew of slabmen, outpitched all four
of his opponents by comfortable
margin and displayed the nerve of a
veteran, after having all except the
tar knocked out of him in the sixth
round. In that explosive period the
tall Texan was swatted hard enough
to have denied a hickory board, and
the Senator'S came within a couple of
laps of wiping out the six run lead

Instead of losing his grip under
those conditions. Russell went back
and finished his job, allowing only one
more run in the remaining three in

the sixth justified the unusual conf

in leaving so experienced a youngster
on the firing line.

ALTIZER AND

Milwaukee, Wis. May 9.-The most
disgraceful row in the history of Mil
waukee baseball was that yesterday
when Manager and Captain Harry
Clark of the Milwaukee team and Dave

team, formerly of the White Sox, came
together in a row al third base. When
the battle ended both men were taken
from the field, practically unconscious
They were ordered out of the game.
The trouble started when Altizer de-
liberately. Clark charged, spiked the
Milwaukee manager. and Clark, with
his eyes blinded by the blood, knocked
Altizer down. The crowd tried to mob
Altizer, but the police and team mem
bers interfered and rescued him.

It's strange how Pelky's fortunes
have been linked with those of Jess

defeated Pelky in New York. At an
other time Pelky was to box Luther

to meet at Calgary.

SEEK RELIEF
FOR AUTOISTS

Baltimore, Md. May 9.-Important
action affecting automobilists the
country over was taken at meeting
today of the executive board of the
American Automobile association when
1T was decided to appeal to the United
States supreme court for relief from
the double tax imposed in many states
upon motor car owners.
At present car owners are required
to pay a personal property tax and in
addition in some states a heavy reg
istration fee, the latter running from
$40 to $25 a car in Maryland. 1t is
claimed the actual expense attendant
upon registration is about ST.
The automobile association will
make the fight to have the charge re-
duced in all states to the actual cost
of issuing the license
The case to be taken to the supreme
court was passed upon by the state
court of New Jersey adversely to the
automobilists. 1t covers two points
of double taxation and also contends
that automobiles are Disseminated
against In that no other vehicles pay
a registration tax for the use of the
roads.
Eight new clubs were admitted to
membership in the association The
enrolment is 4sT, with membership
approaching 10000. The meeting end
ed with a banquet.

DODGERS SCRAPE
GAME FROM CUBS
Two Boots by Keystone
King Turn Tide of Battle
in Favor of Enemy.

New York, May 9.-Without hitting
a ball safely past the infieId, the am
bilious Brooklyn Dodgers scraped a
tight game from the Cubs yesterday
by a score of 2 to 1.
1t was one defeat upon which Man
ager Evers could blame none of his
athletes The Trojan himself furnish
ed the optning for each one of Brook
lyn's runs by booting ground balls. He
booted another before he got all the
errors out of his system, but the third
one cost nothing, as there were two
out at the tint. Brooklyn refused to
make mistakes at critical times, or
the Cubs might have made at least an
other run.
Nap Rucker, the sly southpaw of the
Dodgers, was on the slab, and for once
succeeded in Citing the victory in a
close game He was opposed by jim
my Lavender, and Nap had nothing on
Jimmy when it came to pitching.
There were only three base hits on
each side, and the Cubs damned two
of theirs beyond the in1elders. while
not a member of the enemy could
drive one of Lavender's hooks past the
first line of defense.
