RED SMITH KEEPS
WHOLE HOSPITAL
in WILD TURMOIL

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-St. Mary's
hospital in Brooklyn was kept in more
or less of an uproar Monday by Red
Smith of the Boston Braves. Smith
was taken to the hospital after his
leg was broken at Ebbets field last
Tuesday. The worlds series news
couldn't come fast enough for Smith.
If nurse didn't bring bulletin to
the bedside every 80 seconds the i'm
prisoned Brave would insist on send
ing detail of scouts in search of the
tardy member.
One of the internes said that even
the iron nerves of the nurses were
worn to a fragile at the end of the
ninth inning, and some of them almost
resigned when it became certain that
extra innings would be played.
1t is said that during the last half
of the tenth, when the Braves were
battling to tie the score, the "strain"
caused long crack to appear in the
plaster cast on Smiths leg.

"And our captain with the golden,
honest heart and the celebrated name;
he knew every one of the 270 men
entrusted to him, the circumstances
and the duty for which every individ-
ual was fitted. Never during the en-

bread and every day with few ex-
ceptions we had our two warm meals.
For that we had to thank his I'M

baptism of fire from the artillery
we lay unprotected in wood and could
not stir-he walked up and down be-
fore us, calmly putting at his pipe and
stalking his life for no other purpose
than to give us courage. For him
too was the battle on the Marine his
last day. His own leg broken and
with a gaping wound in his breast, he
bound up the head of the bugler lying
beside him and murmured poor young

the next day. Tears are not very
often shed in the field but his little

Hank had doubled and the game was

if there was any kind of ball he
couldn't hit. I pitched him curves and

A TRAVESTY.
H1eVHE Rockefeller foundation is to


start a worldwide investiga-
ton of labor conditions with a
view to solving the labor problem
which it regards as especially serious.
It is attempting to cover altogether
too much ground. In the state Of
Colorado alone there is enough to do
to keep the Rockefeller foundation
busy for long time to come. Half
the money it will spend on it's world
wide Investigation correctly and fairly
applied would bring industrial peace
to Colorado for good many years to
come. The whole affair looks like one
of the characteristic Rockefeller at
tempts to overcome an adverse pub
lie sentiment aroused in the Colorado
labor trouble that will not be easily
dissipated. Truly the Rockfellers and
others of their kidney can spend a
good deal of time proftably investi-
eating labor problems. However, it
was not problem they deemed
worthy of much consideration when a
state of civil war obtained in the
Walsenburg district and when hired
thugs were armed to STAY a handful
Of aliens driven to desperation by liv-
ing conditions that were disgraceful
to the employers who dictated them
and intolerable to the men who were
compelled to endure them. The la
Dor problem is not as big as the
Rockefeller foundation seems to
imagine. 1t can be easily disposed of
anywhere by giving the men who toll
a fair days wages for a fair. days
work and living conditions that are
decent and in keeping with the Am
erican spirit of independence and pro-
gress that was born at Bunker Hill.

PUBLIC MARKETS.
~ IRGINIA in common with every

7 1hN1N1A III common WIN every
" other town on the range has for
a long time been interested in a
public market. The proposition has
drawn strong support so. far and senti-
ment generally favors it. Neverthe-
less, without public support a public
market here or elsewhere will ulti-
mately become failure.
In this city the primary purpose Of
the public market is to create a local
demand for homegrown produce and
foodstuffs. At Eveleth where mar
ket has been in operation for three
months it is making a fine showing.
The Eveleth market has cleared
money and has disposed of a good deal
of produce to consumers at much low
err price levels than formerly prevail
3D.
However, it is interesting to note
that municipal markets over the coun-
try where they have been long estab-
lished, have generally been financial
failures, especially in the larger cities.
In the cities of Europe they have been
correspondingly successful. However,
the failure of the municipal markets
in this country is apparently not the
fault of the plan, but of the lack of
public interest. 1t is usually pronounc-
ed at first, but it dwindles. Virginia
is peculiarly situated. 1t is not of it.
self large enough to afford a market
that will consume all of the farm pro-
duce grown in it's immediate vicinity,
but it can take care of good deal of
it. Virginia can afford to try the
public market plan, but it should be
borne in mind from the beginning that
without public support from the be-
ginning it can never fulfill it's greatest
usefulness.
