RUssIA's FIRST LESSON.
Milwaukee journal

Almost one-half of the Jews in the
world live in Russia. Though they
form so numerous portion of the pop
ulation, they cannot own land; most of
them are forbidden to attend the high
err schools; they are crowded into linn
tied districts in the cities. and they are
subjected to the most barbarous treat
ment that has stained our age in any
country.
This is the kind Of use Russia has
made of men who have formed an ac-
tive. energetic and useful part Of the
citizenship of more enlightened coun-
tries, who have been leaders in the
field of art and commerce and the til
umphs of peace.
Now Russia goes to war and finds in
the heart Of her domain men Of whom
she has not made friends. whom she
has used more harshly than other ma
tons use their criminals. 1t is report
ed that Russia has decreed the removal
of all these restrictions, that she has
promised full rights of citizenship to
her Jewish subjects. Unhnppily the
history of Russia autocracy does not
help to persuade the world Of the sim
cerity of her rulers; it viii await proof.
But one lesson at least is clear. Russia
finds herself weaker because Of this
course and not stronger, as she has
found herself handicapped by her treat
ment Of the Polish people and has
promished them autonomy
If decent, civilized treatment Of the

Jews is better for Russia in time OF
war, is it not better in time of peace :?
What has the nation gained in policy
but crop of fear and hatred? II the
present war shall really teach Russia
the great lesson that that nation is
strongest which most respects the
rights of its citizens, its fruit will not
be all desoiation and waste.

EMIGRATION WILL FOLLOW WAR
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Death is now taking its toll from
this generation. but the labor and blood
and tears Of this and of several gener-
atiors will be called for by the nation
al debts these belligereat nations are
now piing up in the destructive
struggle.
Once this war of the nations is con
cuded and the inhabitants realize the
disadvantages as compared with the
people of more peaceful countries
which these huge national debts place
them under. there will follow the
greatest exodus from Europe that the
world has ever witnessed.
The continents of North and South
America will receive large additions to
populations through immigration from
Europe as soon as the masses of the
people can escape from that taX-bur-
dened continent, AS hundreds OF thous-
ands of Germans and French came to
the United States at the close of the
Franco-Prussian war, so now millions
of people Of Europe, embracing those
from every nation, will ccme to our
country seeking permanent homes when
the present contest erds.

IT is perfectly natural, of course, for
each of the nations involved in the ter
rible European struggle to attempt to
shift the blame for it onto the shoulders
of one or the other of their enemies. 1t
is such horrible affair and its results
will be so appalling, that even an ex-
IRENE militarist power can find no glory
in accepting responsibility for it. The
historians of the future will have to
decide where the blame lies.

How Government. May Ruin Peoples.


There are no words in which those
who love peace and humanity, and who
have cherished their faith in the value
of the worlds best kinds of social pro-
gress, can even family express their
feelings, in view of the great war IN
which Europe has become involved. 1t
is, therefore, the part of wisdom not
to argue or to exclaim overmuch, but
to use such reason and calm judgment
as can be brought into exercise. Days
of reckoning will come, and the larger
ends Of justice will in the long run
make their appeal to men and to ma
tions. Plainly, the thing that is more
wrong now than anything else in the
world is the way in which hundreds of
millions Of civilized human beings are
victimized by imperfections in their
own methods and systems of govern
ment. No large bodies of men in any
European country could have wished
for this war, any more than they could
have wished to have their own cities
or provinces swept by Asiatic cholera
or devastated by earthquake, fire or
flood. They have been led into the
war by the mismanagement of govern
ments.
1t would not be just to say that the
civil and military powers of the great
countries of Europe have Intentionally
brought harm to their people. But
they are not fitted for their RESPONSE
bilities. Modern humanity demands
appropriate public ideals in government
policy and action. The real enemies Of
the European millions are not the
peace-loying farmers and industrial
workers Of neighbor countries, but the
false views and methods of their own
governments and dominating classes
1t had been hoped by real statesmen,
as well as by humanitarians, that such
opportunities for discussion as might
be afforded by recurring peace confer
ences at The Hague would help to
postpone the danger of general wan
until means for fully averting it could
be devised and agreed upon. But the
situation for a number of years had
been going steadily from bad to worse.
until now the costly arnaments that
nations have built up with the supposed
object of protecting them in their hour
of need have been brought into action
for reasons that are indirect rather
than obvious, and for causes and pur.
poses that no two men can state alike,
because they are not definite. From

pie crop promises TO be of excellent
proportions. An estimate is that the
producers will obtain on an average
about seventy cents bushe for their
wares. BY the time they reach the

WITH the price Of sugar higher than
at any previous time in forty years,
the American beet sugar output is the
smallest since 1910. That is due to the
Democratic tariff. But the war prices
will cause American sugar producers to
get busy next year.

says the natlOnal commission Will not
yield an inch to the fraternity.
That's the situation, as far as any
one on the outside konws. Any pre-
dictions made today are guesses only.
The biggest feature of Johnson's
rather wordy answer to. the players
was a threat to fine all players who
strike, refuse to pay them for time
lost, and close the A. L. parks and
keep them closed the rest of the sea-
son if necessary.
Would the league allow johnson to
go so far as to close the parks?
Undoubtedly, and jump at the ex-
cuse to do so, if it is possible to make
the public believe that the players are
responsible for the failure to provide
entertainment.
1t would be a great piece of bust
ness luck for the magnates. Few of
them are making money at the pres
ent time. In some cities Federal teams
have cut into the patronage. In 9TH
ers there are purely local causes for
the attendance slump. But the slump
is there.
BY closing the parks the magnates
would not take in any coin at the
gate. But neither would they have
to pay out anything in expenses.
Which would mean a plugging of
the leak in several treasures.
johnson has the American mag
mates meeting in war council with
him in New York today. They will
canvass the situation carefully, and
comes to a decision.
On the say of one man depends the
result. That man is President Comis-
key of the White Sox. Commy is
never given to much conversation,
but he is power in the league, and |
does not hesitate to put his foot down |
when he thinks Johnson is wrong.
If Commy decides to support Ban,
then the A. L. executive will have a |
free reign. But Comiskey has always !

day and drafted a plan of campaign.
The ultimatum came unexpectedly,
and found the owners unprepared.
The case of Kraft is the immediate
cause of a break. But Fultz asserts
that in numerous instances the So
called Cincinnati agreement, " reach
ed at conference of magnates and
players representatives last year, has
been f1agrantly violated. He claims to
have made frequent demands for
redress in behalf of some of the
sighted athletes, but in no case re-
ceived any satisfaction.
The side to which the public swings
will win. If the fans decide that the
players have a just grievance, the
magnates will not get far with their
proposition to close the parks. If the
fans decide that the players are act
ing hastily, they will take the closing
Of the parks gracefully.
An affair such as this promises to
be has been in the air for some time.
It began with the formation of the
fraternity. Fultz, at it's head, is an
old ballplayer, and also a clever law
yer. The magnates found they were
up against a difficult proposition
when it came to doing business with
him. He could discover the joker in
a contract.
johnson has been trying to get rid
of Fultz for some time. He refused
for time to receive the. president of
the fraternity in Cincinnati. Ban
knew that the lawyer-athlete was a
keen one.
Apparently the players considered
that this was the psychological mo-
ment to act The Federal has not
waned in popularity, and any of the
athletes who strike and want to jump
will probably find positions with the
third circuit.
And if the A. L. closes its parks,
the players can barnstorm with slight
opposition, and make as much money

time, but through diligent work per-
fectly themselves.
In other departments the team is
playing bang-up ball, and right now
looks better than the McGraw gang.
New York is sIHmping. The pitch
ing is poor, and games are being won
only when the batters get together
and whale the ball harder than the
opposition.
The same proposition confronted
the Cubs earlier in the year, but now
there is some alright pitching on
the West Side, and a few runs are
enough for most any game.
Humphries seems to have returned
for keeps. His game against the Reds
yesterday made two stellar perform
ances in a row, and Bert looks like
the same man who blew through the
league at top speed last season. His
wide hook curve has the same sweep,
he has regained much Of his lost con-
troll, and possesses speed.
Cheney and Vaughn are fit running
mates for HUMPHREYS. Both are eff
fective against most any team in the
league, and Cheney is as good a res
cuer as there is in the business. The
necessary fourth man is a problem.
Lavender has pitched some good ball
this season, and he has also given
some very cheesy exhibitions.
When James Sanford goes in the
box there is no telling what he may
do. He may allow two hits in nine in

er years. He pitched what he had,
and it would have been enough if the
infeld had not cracked and made
four errors in one inning. Three runs
resulted.
But they could not be charged to
Walsh. He did everything that a
pitcher could do, and lot more than
was expected. Ed worked with his old
ease, and apparently had as much
speed as ever. There was the same
battling downward break on his spit
ball.
The only bIemish on his work was
lack of control. Now and then this
fault forced him to throttle down the
speed and discard the splitter in order
to get the pill across the plate.
Control could not have been ex-
pected. 1t was the first championship
game for the Big Reel this year, and
he did not have the proper range of
the plate.
The return of Walsh will put more
fight into the already slamming Sox.
They play with more confidence be-
hind the big fellow, though he can't
do any better work than the other
pitchers have been providing.
Nevertheless, he will have a heart
ening effect on the whole team. The
other pitchers will use everything
they have, knowing that if danger
threatens the Big Spit is out in the
bull pen, warmed up and ready to
come to the rescue.
