BasebalI's High Cost of Living.

The signing Of Iris Speaker by the Boston Fed
Sox at a salary of Sls.500 year "a year meaning
six months) will make many supporters OF baseball
wonder who Is going to pay the cost Of such frenzed
finance" The scale Of living has been skyrocketng
in baseball more feverisbly than in any other sport
or line of business The Federal League Eruption
has given an artificial stimulus to extravaganza, and
salaries have been pushed far beyond the utmost
verge Of reason. More pay for the better players
means more pay for the poorer players, and most
clubs in the major leagues will soon be spending at
least twice as much in salaries they did ten years
ago.
1t is doubtful II baseball will be benefited by the
increased luxuries thrust on the players. \ big
salary usually means an automobile and an auto
mobile style Of living. 1t scattering Of in
terest and a more naughty attitude toward hard
work Expensive baseball does not necessarily mean
good baseball and the public led to expect wonders
from high priced stars will be the more critical Of
mediocre accomplishment There must always be
losing teams, and expensive losing team is Of
the most futile and melancholy forms Of extrava-
gance.
If the baseball bubble Is not pricked this year It
will be because managers have lost their heads in
q mad scramble TO initiate salaries and running ex-
penses The best way TO build up a successful team
is TO get promising Young players and make out
Of them instead of buying whose best days are
behind them. That is the true test Of skill and
economy in mana cement The Athletics are the best
team IN any league But who heard Of the willy
Mack paying salary OF sls5Oo year, or going
down to o steamship pier TO meet any kind Of globe
trotting aggregation with trunkful Of cash and a
bundle Of carte blanche contracts?

\ Practical Prison Reform.

Governor Glynn says that he is heart and soul for
prison reform but that the state is poor. Conse
nuently Sing Sing can't be improved just yet, and
Improvement in other prisons must come slowly
II is true that the states financial burden is great
Yet It is not great that acceptance Of the dreadful
conditions at Sing Sing for an indefinite period ought
to be sanctioned. The state is not poor that its
prisoners should be kept in disease breeding cells,
under conditions which break them mentally and
physically and send them back 10 the world worse In
most ways than when they entered Jail.
In the last two three years the state has been
robbed Of millions of dollars in road building If It
Is as badly OF as Governor Glynn thinks perhaps
solution of phase Of the prison problem and some
Of the road troubles might be found by adopting the
Oregon scheme described by Governor West There
state prisoners have built state roads, with benefit
% the community and the health OF the prisoners.
There seems TO be good why the plan
should not work IN this state 1t would be highly
practical bit OF prison reform and benefit TO the
state II might enough money from looting
contractors 10 build prison in place Of rotten

Promoting Universal Intercourse.

Sir John Henniker-Hcaton may be a trfe too
optimistic In expecting universal penny post with
in q year. but there is little doubt that both the
inclination and the interest OF oil civilized nations
tend strongly In that general direction The specific
achievement OF O two-cent unit rate OF postage has
already been successfully made between the United
states and several foreign countries, and It will
probably soon he extended among all countries,
That, however. viii bc only detail Of com
prehensive system Of international intercourse. Sir
John HcDniker- Hcaton himself suggests Others,
particularly that Of cheap telegraphic communca-
ton without regard to political boundaries The
international employment OF wireless tceGraphy and
of land aquatic and aerial transportation belongs
10 the same category.
The eloquent predictions OF Fulton and Morse
concerning the international and humanitarian re-
suits OF their great inventions have become classic,
and they have been fulfilled in perhaps fuller
ure than their makers confidently expected. We
may be sure that the process will not be checked.
Penny post In year not the resources OF civil
zaton will continue 10 overcome the conditions Of
time and space bringing all nations into closer and
fuller intercourse snd thus strengthening their
bonds Of sympathy and peace.

Mr.. Taft's Frank Comment on Our Courts

There are few words better worth listening 10
at the present moment than Mr.. Iafts forccful
criticism of our courts. His experience on the
bench as well as his completely fair disposition
and calm utterance makes his structures especially
persuasive
Two points were raised by him In his last lecture
before the Boston University Law School. One
was the difficulty with which disbarment proceed
ings we're applied to the successful and prominent
lawyer who dlsregarded the ethics Of bis proics-
sion. The comment is particularly apt at the
moment. The dsbarment Of one of the Thaw law
yers is welcome but It comes as an exceedingly
belated piece Of justice. The man in the street
cannot help wondering why institution properly
Jealous OF the good name Of its officers should
be so slow TO act in plain case.
The delays Of litigation Mr.. Taft also in large
part declared TO be due TO judicial Indifference
We should be glad to agree with this if a fair
portion Of the blame is assigned to the appellate
courts which view forceful trial judge with sus-
picion Unless our higher courts will commend and
uphold the trial Judge who refuses to permit
da willing and confusion The tedious American trial
will continue on its wasteful course.
We commend Mr.. Tafts law lectures 10 every
American citizen who believes that orderly sane
reform Of our courts is an urgent necessity.

Branding a Batch of Lies.

The outrageous charges recently made against
some Of the citys most distinguished physicians are
very thoroughly dsproved by the report of Dr. Gold
water It was asserted that children In the hospitals
of the Department of Health had been inoculated
with the germs of "loathsome diseases for expert
mental purposes As result these patients we're
declared TO have become diseased. Names Of alleged
victims were made public, and panic and dlsmay
were spread broadcast
II now appears that the allegations we're utterly
without foundation An Investigation of the cases
set forth shows a mass of fictitious names and ad
dresses and an utter peryerson Of facts Not the
slightest evidence Of incubation with disease was
found.
The truth. unfortunately, is slow in oyertaking
suspicion sown in this fashion. wicked lie can DO
more damage in day than a month of inveSuga
ton can remedy The motives behind such cam
paign we should rate among the most vicious tha'
civilized community can display.

TO SAVE JUMEL MANSION
The Curator Urges an Open Parkway

To The Editor or The Tribune.
Sir: To the west Of Jumel Mansion
is a double row OF small wooden houses
ten on each side OF private street known
as sylvan Terrace, and as you were good
enough to say, "a menace to the safety
OF Jumel Mansion as we'll as an eyesore."
The menace IS the danger OF fire starting
in these old houses during tho prevailing
west winds Of winter, when the old head
quarters would probably Join the conha-
grafton These houses wcro built about
thirty years ago. before the Jumel grounds
were sold, and ut the time they were
built they were In the grounds OF the

Sylvan Terrace might give way TO an
extension OF l61st street. If such a street
were needed. As an open parkway IL
would afford dignlied approach to tho
city's famous Colonial house, and would
be at the same time a genuine Colonial
restoration OF the roadway used by Wash
ington and his officers.
Such q parkway would stimulate build
Ing on Washington Heights and improve

which would add dignity and distinction

THE BANKERS AND TAMMANY
One Of the $50 Replies to Critic Of
the Movement.
Editor Of The Tribune.

To tho Editor OF The Tribune
Sir. \ correspondent whose letter was
published in your issue Of March is
more free with the use OF other people $
names, Including my own. than he is with
his, for he signs himself New Yorker
not very definite way Of Identifying him
self From the general style and tenor
OF the letter one is able to guess that its
writer Is a banker or Wall Street brok-
er, and perhaps one OF those who consti-
tute that powerful group which we some
times call Wall Street Tammany- Hall
The letter referred TO suggests that [ am
one OF the leaders Of what is known as
the Committee Of 30. which is a Demo-
cratic organization opposed 20 Tammany
Hall. I am only one Of the rank and file
in the organization.
Apparently your anonymous CORE
spondent thinks that a committee which
seeks 10 reorganize the mass Of Demo-
cratic voters In New York City IS 10 be
judged by one OF its members: and. worse
than that. he IS 10 he judged by one OF
the clients of one OF its members; and,
worse than that. that client is 10 be
judged. or misjudsed, because he has pend
ing litigation which attacks the practices
Of bankers in Wall Street
But the most remarkable criticism that
our fellow citizen, tho New Yorker"
| makes upon my being one Of the mem
oers Of the Committee OF 80 is that IL
will not be likely ito consolidate the
banking interests" 7 do not think that
any member OF the organization ever sup
posed that II would. or ever supposed that
those interests could be consolidated in a
warfare against the practices Of Tam
many Hall. since a large portion Of them
are the benercaries OF Tammany Hall and
NJ the same time as I think the treasurer
OF Tammany Hall could show contribute
more thar one-half Of the income OF tina:

believe that a very large number or the
bankers Of this city who are secretly mill
tant against much OF the evil that exists
