Once more has the Tacoma school board come to
the front with drastic ruling that will further Grip
pie athletics in Tacoma.
The new ruling is in effect edict that students
of Tacoma schools must not take part in any ath-
letcs outside of school contests. 1t is attack
the Tahoma Athletic club, organized recently by
graduates and former football stars of Stadium
High school, and holding among its members a few
Although the principal object of athletics is, be-
spirit of fair play and independence, Tacoma's
school board is apparently trying to kill all the effect
that football or any other game would naturally
have on the students.
The school boards action is narrow minded in the
extreme. The board demands, in the same tone that
poutng, pampered child asks for indulgence, that
the Tacoma High school football players engage in
the school boards sort of game, and they cannot
play any kind of game with anybody else
The board first declared that there could be no
inter-city game hereafter. That alone enough
to discourage the athletes. Many of the best high
school athletes refused to turn out for any sort OF
games. Some of the others turned out, but also
joined the Tahoma Athletic club which has arrang-
ed schedule with outside Cities and which will rep
resent Tacoma in inter-cty games.
Now the school board has taken the high school
players away from the club-Johnson, Shager,
Crumb and Sutherland The board doesn't want
Tacoma to be represented in intercity athletics
apparently.
Is the school board showing the broad minded at
titude that is usually hoped to be instilled into
youngsters
Is it setting good example?

shoeshop man OF Troy. N. Y. is
the greatest man In the world.
1t was his fierce drive over sec

scurrying homeward and put the
result beyond doubt. Up to that
point the game had been a long
series of question marks.
There is no excuse for the Ath-
iefics. They were whipped be-
cause they lacked nerve and fight.
They had as many and even bet
ter chances TO win as did the
Braves. but the fighting spirit of
Stailings' men carried them
through to an amazing victory.
The Athletics simply were caught

get up speed they were unable
to do so and all the luck and

needed. They won the series by
hits made after two men were

TURKS ARE
GETTING GAY
With Apparent Desire to Get
Into Scrap, Turkey Abol-
ishes Treaties

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
Turkey formally notified the United
States and all nations of the world
today that she had abrogated a Sc
ries of conventions, treaties and priv
ileges originating as early as the
eleventh century, whereby foreigners
in the Ottoman empire have been ex-
empted from local jurisdiction in civ
il and criminal cases. A foreign sub
ject no longer will enjoy what is
known as extra oratorial rights
through which they have been tried
by their own judges.
This practice, abolished by Japan
several years ago through the nego
tiation of new treaties, Turkey has
removed by a stroke of the pen. Her
purpose, it is declared, is to assert
her independence and free herself
from the domination Of the great
powers.
Upon the rights revoked has rested
the legal status Of American mission
aries in Turkey, permitting them te
maintain churches, hospitals ant
schools in religious freedom. Admin
istration officials declined tonight tt
discuss the effect Of the action OF
American missionaries.

A Session Otherwise Monot-

Cattle Discussion

The chief discussion at the meeting
of the city council Wednesday night
was over the apparent disregard Of
the ordinance prohibiting cattle to
run loose within the city limits. Coun.
Gilman Mcknight averred that the or
dinance was more observed in the
breach than observance in South Aber-
deem, and stated as a further objec-
ton that many of the non-ordinance-
observing cattle were not residents,
anyhow, but hailed from the adjoining
bailiwick of Cosmopolis. After dis
play of oratory, pro and con, the re-
port of the streets committee, which,
by the way, said nobody was doin' it,
and that no cattle had been found run
ming in South Aberdeen, and running
fire of words, the council sat down on
the committee report with vote of
6 to 5, it coming out that an ordi-
nance already covered the subject.

respects in which the resolutions above
quoted are incorrect.
1T is not the fact that the statis-
tics of exports and imports indicate
the growth of debit balance against
the people of the United States The
reverse is true. Your resolutions give
the month of April as an example.
They did not mention the fact that
the import excess of $11,339,544 for
the month was followed by a reduc-
ton of the import excess of $2,476,.
S96 in May, and that this again was
reduced in June to an import excess
Of but $653.522. The tendency, there
fore, SO far from being toward a debit
balance, is in the opposite direction
Furthermore, your resolutions over
looked the fact that in the first year
Of the Payne-Aldrtch tariff law, five
different months saowec an import
excess, and one of these months, name
ly, March, 1910, showed an import ex-
cess OF $19,341,57S. Any of these
facts would have been available to
your committee on inquiry of this de.
partment.
Neither is there complete accuracy
in the annual trade balance as treated
in your resolutions. That balance, in
favor Of the United States, for the fis.
cal year ended June 80, 1914, was
$470,457,375. One has only to look
to the year ended June 80, 1910, under
the administration of President Taft
and the Payne-Aldrich tariff, to find
a trade balance in our favor of only
$1SS,037,29 and in the preceding
year, namely, that ended June 80, 1909,
$50 in our favor. The trade balance
in our favor this year, therefore, is
more than double that of the year
which followed the enactment of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
"Going back still further in our his
tory, it appears that the trade balance
in our favor for the year ended June
80, 1914, is greater than it was for
the fiscal years ended at the same
period in 1907, 1905, 1904 and 1908,
while it is almost the same as that for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902;
and it will be found to be more than
double the trade balance in our favor
during any of the years Of the pend
ency of the Mckinley tariff There was
no time prior to the year 1898 when
the trade balance in our favor was as
large as for the fiscal year ended
