binary financial considerations
III connection with athletics that this
country has ever known Coaching
talent is to be rewarded with salaries
never before reached, and playing
talent in the professional baseball
ranks is signing contracts, due to
competition between the Federals and
the present league organizations that
are likely to enrich the player beyond
any earlier dreams of avariee which
may have entered into his calcula-
tons. We have already commented
upon some Of these, but the height
was reached when Speaker was sign
ed for two years at s35. 900 and it
has been said that there was a bonus
IN addition to this Comparisons are,
of course, inevitable Already there
have been comments contrasting the
price paid for work in an athletic line
with work in an educational line. and
these promise to multiply. One should
understand, however. and make the
proper discount in any comparisons
Of this kind, for it is doubtful II those
exaggerated salaries continue In
fact, picture the situation if the con-
test for players in professional league
ranks goes on forcing up prices so
that either side to hold a man has to
pay him not only $11500 for a year,
but has to make contract covering
a longer period Of time than that.
What, also will be its effect upon
other players Truly, it is the age
for them to make as much as they
can but such policy in any business
Is likely in the long run to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg "

Going the Full Length in Cotton.

If YOU are little weary of Buy Bale OF
Cotton" why not try a pair OF pale gray cotton
stockings and rose colOred corduroy gown, with
iumper bodice and long sleeves of white cotton
wolfe. as did Miss Genevieve Clark in Washington
Yesterday? Her costume, shown at the National
Cotton Show was both demonstration and an
answer 10 a dare. Would she 90 the full length
in cotton had inquired some ST. Louis cubwomen
by telegraph And there, draped upon and about
her was her answer.
Frankly. We like this campaign great deal
better than we do the Buy-a-Bale scheme. Tlat
was charity for an industry that seemed quite
competent to finance its emergency. Teaching the
possibilities of American made cotton goods and
developing their finer manufacture is sensible pro-
ductive work. good for American manufacturer
and consumer alike. Cotton corduroy and cotton
wolfe and the long list Of mercerzed goods are
already widely used and can be employed far
more than they are. As become less extrava-
CANT in our buying we shall look more TO them
than ever. The present era of economy is an ideal
time TO begin this work and preach the virtues OF
cotton-in whatever length required.

THE NEUTRALITY OF CHINA
Her Dignihed Protest Held All Sufh-
Gent for Any Nation.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The violation of the neutrality
of China by Japan, with the probable
sanction of the Allies, invokes the in
ventive genius of European diplomacy
to provide a plea for the enthusiastic
Endorsement by impartial observers. Is
il as "A champion Of the rights Of the
yellow man that Japan no longer re-
Spects the treaty rights the observance
of which alone entities any nation TO
the respect Of the world? Or is it the
policy of the dominant race idea, which
has involved human history IN world
wars ever since the bounds OF mans
world were limited TO n few hundred
square miles, and which has pro-
claimed the lapses of civilization which
inevitably follow the clashing OF hui
man interests on the field of world
wide wars destruction and misery,
which would now seek to disturb the
peace of China? We believe the peace
Of the astute Chinese will remain un-
disturbed despite all provocation, but
the estimate we have of the nations
whose policies have led to the ignoring
of China's treaty rights suffers.
China's action in protesting the
landing of Japanese troops on neutral
territory is all any self-respecting peo-
pie would do in similar circumstances.
Her self-restraint when her protests
were ignored by the Allies and her en-
larging of the area in which operations

The Direct Primary'S Figures.

"The World thinks il anything but an en-
couraging sign" that out of total enrolment OF
about 100000 the primary vote was only 100000
That is pessmistic attitude toward the pri-
mary's result. 1t is typical of much comment
which shows a total miSconception of the situation
or the $4,000 enrolled voters in this city cleo
ton experts figure that from - to 33 Is per cent
are annually disqualified from voting because Of
removals. Upstate the percentage is not so heavy
but in the big cities it is factor worth noting In
any election calculations. deduction OF 100000
therefore from the total enrolment in the state
at large is conservative That brings the result
down to the fact that the party nominations were
made by A. per cent of the qualified party voters,
in round numbers And it is many year-if ever
since a. per cent of the party voters participated
in primaries in this state
Instead of being discOuraging, the primary vote
recorded is distinctly encouraging. 1t proves that
in this state, in all other direct primary states
which includes two-thirds Of the country-notwith-
standing difficulties the public will get out to vote
directly for candidates for nomination. whereas It
took little interest in the selection Of convention

The CLAYTON Bill-a Middle and a Sham.

Tho Democratic party stood under the political
necessity of doing something to the anti trust laws
and something for the labor unions and the farm
ers The Clayton bill is the result, and, assuming
the necessity for any such legislation, the country
has got off very cheapy. That is the chief point
TO be noted in this new Democratic achievement
which can at least be praised for being no worse
than it is
SO far as general changes in the existing laws
go. the Clayton bill is Of limited effect Interocl
ing directories are prohibited That is new
effort 10 stem the tide toward Capitalization OF
commercial organization. Its practical results may
or NAV not be considerable. Time alone can tell.
The other general sections relate TO price cutting
etc. and follow in some degree the famous seven
sisters law of New Jersey The rules appear TO b.
No more than a codifcaton Of existing principles
laid down i'll the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases
The danger is that the broad and generous purview
Of those decisions may be cut into or confused by
these petty enactments. Here again time alone
can fell. and we may have to wait several years
before the Supreme Court can recarify the subject
The narrower provisions relating to special in
terests have been much changed since the bill $
first introduction and il would take the seventh
son Of a prophet to guess what they now mean.
The system followed has been to insert the word
lawful" or lawfully" at frequent intervals. La
Dor unions for example, may not be eDJolned
from lawfully carrying out the legitimate objects
thereof. The protection afforded plcketlng and
secondary boycots is similarly guarded. on It's
face such hOdse-podge means nothing at all
While pretending TO do great things for union and
grange, the bill very likely does nothing, leaving
the problem exactly where it was before, with the
courts.
There is where the whole bill undoubtedly VIII

REGISTER To-day!

The first days registration was light as uSu'''
1t is to be hoped the voters will quarry themselves
for Election Day in far greater numbers To-Day
Party workers are doing their regulation duty III
trying to produce a full registration. But the out
come depends on the citizens themselves.
It Is easier for the individual If he registers
early. There is less congestion at the polling
places. Registration today will save time for the
voter and make the work Of the poll clerks easier
than general postponement of registration until
the last day. No voter wants TO be unable to cast
his ballot on November 3. No sensible voter Will
POSTPONE registering and take a chance of losing
his vote when he can make certain his right TO
vote by registering today

HONOR TO A WORTHY FOE
English Sneers at Their German
Enemies Are Resented.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A lesser light than Jerome h.
Jerome could have informed Us that
England is going to win this war; there
can be no doubt that the Allies VIII
ultimately overwhelm Germany. The
people of the latter country are not
superhuman, as Mr. Jerome remarks,
but they are certainly very deter
mined people and have as much right
to their own opinions as the InnaD-
itants of the British Isles have to their
pet theories.
The German Emperor stands at the
head of his goye-ament-we may can
him a fatalist or even braggart, but
surely he is no imbecile. Among the
monarchs of modern times he has no
peer; 10 ruler has achieved greater
things for his country than has viii
lam II for Germany. For period OF
twenty-six years he has upllfted the
country and its people until they led
the world in science, commercial enter
prises and education. | think these &C
complshments Justify them to be
proud and to glory IN the man who
placed them on so high a plane. Is
their pride more foolish than Mr..
JerCme's vain boast that he belongs
to nation that can do no wrong?
On one point, however, | agree with
the writer. hold Germany responsI-
Bile for this holocaust, and no doubt
they will have 10 reap as they have
sown, but their reasons for gong TO
war were TO them uuquestlonabiy as
convincing as those that prompted the
British government to act. One has to
admit that Germany is putting up
most heroic fight against tremendous
odds.
No. Mr.. Jerome. a little less of this
foolish arrogance" talk; let us be fair
and concede honor whore honor IS due,
even to foe. CHARLES SLEEFE.

THE SOURCE OF GOOD CHILDREN
Wonderfully Educated Mothers Not
Their Only Percentage.

To the Editor Of The Tribute.
Sir: As the intelligent mother of d
family pardon the conceit, but judging
from the current remarks of the day
public school teachers who desire to
become mothers seem TO be the only
individuals having that requirement.,
feel that it is about time this teacher
mother question was settled. The
newspapers everywhere have treated
the question with great consideration.
but in my opinion the Board of Edu-
cation is right.
Duty. like charity, begins at home.
Motherhood means sacrifice of self.
Hard 1t is, at times we may rebel, but
the love that nature plants in a
mothers breast conquers, and that is
what the race needs most. Intelli-
gence. education and progression are
all very good, though the newspapers
do not tell Us that the most moral chill
dren come from the intelligent. Very
often the reverse. Morality and health
IN its citizens are the great fortresses
of the state; and these are the off
spring Of good, pure mothers who are
not always so wonderfully educated
Man when he looks back to childhood

love and sollcitude for him. II we
were cats or dogs our mother could
very well snip us on the ear or scratch

glad TO be forgiven, and once more

her time 10 others while some hireling
brings up her own "fesh and blood"

We're all the intelligent mothers who
