ANTITRUST FIRES
START TO SPUTTER
Blaze Will Be Sufficient to
Warm Up Every One as Soon
as Wilson Returns.

Agitation Of the trust legislation aues-
tion will reach the boiling point next
week, with the return Of President WI.
son to Washington and the reas-
sembling OF Congress.
The statement from the President that
the trust message will be sent to Con-
gress as soon as possible after his re-
turn means that little time will be lost
In getting the trust measure initiated.
This statement, together with the fact
the Democrats OF the House Judiciary
Committee have made tentative drafts
Of bills, has served to enhance interest
here in the problem Of how to add to
the Sherman law to deal effectively with
the corporations and combinations.
1t Is already apparent that, there will
be big fight in Congress over the trust
bills. They will be attacked chiefly on
the ground they do not go far enough.
The bill relating to interiocking direc-
torates contains this provision.

Billy Sullivan, the only real control
tutor in the Sox array, to work with
him.
Four hits were smacked off La
thrOp in the five innings he worked.
That is pretty fair record for such
early season work, and goes far to
make up for his lack of control.
In the batting line Harry Lord and
Larry Chappen showed the greatest
strength. They were batting against
left-hander who has been pitching
all winter, but managed to find his
shoots for two hits each.
ChappeII each day is improving,
and looks like he was worth the
money paid for him. A fellow who
stands up at the plate with Larry's
confidence and business-like attitude
cannot be kept out of the hit column
and his success depends only on his
nerve.
This spring the youngster will not
have all of last falls press agent bunk
to overcome. He is starting even,
and will be judged only on what he
does from the time the season opens.
His injured leg has healed, and he is
able to move around the field rapidly.
This will remove another cause for
the young mans worry, as his field
ing and baserunning will improve.

None of them signed OFF the reel, and
Speaker said that he, for one, would
do nothing until he had become fully
acquainted with the situation and
learned just what the Federal Leag-
uers were offering in the way of
money and long-term contracts.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by Sam Crawford, Leverenz, Magee,
Wingo and Mike Doolan, who is look

Gilmore had a conference with
President Gaffney of the Boston
Braves and no knives were drawn. In
fact, both sides seemed to want the
meeting, but the reason for it was not
disclosed. Quinn is the only Brave
who has been snatched by the Feds
and the two leaders may have talked =,
over that happening.
Later Gilmore talked with Owner
Baker of the PhilIies, who has suffer-
ed at the hands of the Feds more than
any other magnate. With Gilmore
was Attorney Gates of the league,
and undoubtedly there was some talk
of the threatened suit by the Feds for
the services of Bill Killifer No COM
promise was reached, according to
the best information, Gilmore declar-
ing that he would make a straight
out fight not only for Killifer, but for
every man who had been taken by the
organized powers after signing with
the Feds.
An interview purporting to be the
work of Ban Johnson comes over the
wire from New York, in which the
American League president again re-
fers to the Feds as joke and says
they will explode with loud report
before the season is over. This is at
least some concession. 1t is the first
admission that the Feds would start
the season.

Free For HI Race

There is a free for all race on the
part of number of the powers
of Europe to reach Constantine
pie and the Dardanelles. For long
time the Sultan of Turkey has had
headache because he was between the
deamon and the deep sea. In case he
joined the allies and Germany should
win, the Kaiser will be likely to kick
him clean off this mundane sphere. If
the allies should be victories he felt
that there would not be a feather left in
the Turkeys tail, so what was he to do?
For a long time the Kaiser has been a
friend of the Turk and now he has cast
his lot with William. The city of Con-
stantinople and the Dardanelles are
much desired by England and she has
had her stabberlsharpened for the covet-
ed bird for long time. Russia wants
them. too, so there will be fine scram-
BILE to gobble up the prize. No doubt the
upshot will be that Turkey will be push
ed bodily from Europe and her name will
no longer appear on the map. The
Balkan states have wanted that for some
time and the time has no doubt come.
The Turk is not wise bird and has
poked his head into a trap which will
no doubt!cost him much prestage and
property. 1t will be the biggest Turk
ever carved at Thanksgiving and no
doubt the job will be done to a finish.
Had he been wise he would have roost-
ed high above the present calamity
hich has overtaken the old world.

Forty years is middle age or should be.
People who squander their youth are old
at forty; everybody needs to give little
more care to health and careful living
after passing the fortieth milestone.
The reserve of strength is not what it
used to be. Nature needs little help if
we are to continue the work and worry
of modern life. To most people DR.. VIII

lessness and most forms of headache.
Try them for any trouble caused by thin

rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, Llm-

Moonlight in Kentucky

From history and fiction and tradition
we have come to believe that during
the past few centuries the moon
has looked down On many
strange and romantic things in the old
state Of Kentucky Daniel Boone and
his struggles with the Indians, the
feuds of the mountaineers of later
times, and most picturesque Of all, per-
haps, the making of moonshine n
many dark hollow among the. hills.
1t remained for a schoolma am to dis
cover new sight for the ancient nc n
making its rounds.
Less than three years ago, this
young Kentucky school teacher con-
ceived the idea of opening schools
for grownup mountaineers. She was
told that grownup men would scorn the
idea of going to school; that though
many of them could neither read nor
write, they did not care to learn. If
they had, the doubters said, they would
have attended the public schools. But
helittle schoolma am stuck to her idea.
She began aEmoonlight school, as some
one dubbed it, and she found that when
they did not have to learn in the same
classes with children, these men were
eager for knowledge Today, through
the mountains of Kentucky, there are
1000 of these moonlight schools, and
to them come almost 10000 grownup
men and women of Kentucky.
These schools are more than schools.
, They are social centers in the best
sense, promoting friendly feeling and
that spirit of neighborliness which is
one of the best gifts of civilization.
Surely we are justified in thinking thu
thedays of trouble in old Kentucky are
ending. The little schoolma am with
her moonlight school is putting a bet
ter weapon into the hands of these
mountaineers than those they used to
, carry on their feuds Milwaukee Jour

Natures Forces Are Gentle

What adds to the wonder Of the
earth's grist is that the millstones that
did the work and are still doing it are
the gentle forces that career above our
heads-the sunbeam, the cloud the
air, the frost. The rains gentle fall,
the airs velvet touch, the suns noise
less rays, the frost's exquisite crystals,
h ese combined are the agents that
crush the rocks, pulverize the mountains
and transform continents of sterile
granite into a world of fertile soil.
1t is as if baby fingers did the work
of powder and dynamite. Give the
clouds and the sunbeams time enough
and the Alps and the Andes disappear
before them or are transformed into
plains where corn may grow and cattle

Il Lesson -7dulfS Should
Heed.

There is lesson-an old, old lesson
for all Of us to remember, rich as
we'll as poor, to be found in these
words:
"The fault of his life had been that
he had never adapted his expenses to
his income.
These words were written by the CON-
piler of the essays of Lord Bacon, the
greatest genius in human history.
Though he had received hundreds of
thousands of dollars he died insolvent. !.
Macaulay said of him that che had
the most exquisitely constructed in
tellect that Las ever been bestowed
upon any Of the children of men,"
And yet this greatest of men from
an intellectual standpoint could not
exercise common sense, common pru-
dence, common thrift enough to live
within his means. This shows the i'm
portance of learning this greatest of
all human lessons, the art of self CON
troll, of setting bound to our desires
in order that we may live and die in the
possession of our own self respect, LORD
Bacon himself wrote in one of his es-
says, "The virtue of prosperity is
temperance, a virtue he did not prac-
Cice. TIE history of mankind is fairly

The little lad who stoutly defends

leader of street gang who bases his
