Chances Are the Strong
Clubs viii Set up a Howl.
BY W. J. MAC BETH

NEW YORK Feb. 25-James a.
Gilmore. the energetic president Of
the Federal league. must hurdle a
real obstacle next Saturday al Chicago.
lie has called a meeting Of his fol-
lowers in the windy city on that date
at which he proposes to arrange
among them some amicable settle
ment relative 10 a division Of talent
that will best balance his field of eight
clubs.
Pres. Gilmore has said repeatedly
and still sticks 20 il that the diamond
athletes will be pooled in such a man
uer as 70 divide playing strength as
even as possible. Otto Knabe and
Joe Tinker have both declared they
VIII not cOuntenanCe such a move.
They say they have hustled all winter
for the best available talent and that
less energetic clubs should not profit
at their expense.
Ned HalOn, the moving spirit of the
Federal league. was in town Tuesday
consulting with Mr. Gilmore He
would not express final views upon
the matter. but animated that he
would oppose pooling in any whole
sale form.
we are in better shape so far as
our rivals" said Mr.. Hanlon. But
we are not going TO let sentiment
stand IN the way of giving Baltimore
the very best we possibly can. Per
haps we can spare a few Of our play
ers 10 bolster up the less fortunate
clubs and viii be only too willing to
do so. But such must be content with
our surplus. -'ey need expect nOGc
90 our best mt. ="
The visit Of HanlOn 20 New York
has revived TumOrS OF an invasion Of
New York city proper or that pOr-
ton OF the Bronx just the other side
OF Harlem This talk was due TO the
conference today OF Gilmore. Hanlon
and several other Federal ieaguers
with the Ward brothers.
Gilmore swears upon his honor that
the Federal league Will do business as
at present constituted. though he will
not deny that he has had more or
less worry over Buffalo Bronx fans
think that before long an announce
ment will be made 80 the effect that
the Bison city mas been transferred
To their back doors.
Gilmore insinuated Tuesday that
Pres. Joseph J. Lannin would not be
the only magnate TO meet the re-
turning worlds tourists down the bay
with "a warm greeting for Iris Speaker
and five or six others. lie said the
Federal league would put as far to
sea as organized baseball.
Jake Stahl acknowledged that he
had cabled Iris Speaker not TO sign
with the Red Sox until he saw the
Federals. it now transpires that Iris
may write his own ticket if he will
agree to manage the Ward team.

ing. in the White house we have Wood
row Wilson. who will rank with Alb
raham Lincoln in the histories of the
future.
President Wilson's great ability was
never better shown than just at the
outbreak OF the present European
war That was a period when the
world was ringing with the clustering
proclamations and boastful utterances
of the European monarchs. In the
midst of the shouting of kings there
was heard a quiet, commanding note,
phrased in the most terse and clear
est of language. 1t was the offer OF
President Wilson to mediate in the
European trouble.
Compared with that utterance the
boisterous statements of the warning
emperors sounded like the efforts OF
high school sophomores. II showed
that the United States in Woodrow
Wilson has a chief executive who
dwarfs in ability the reigning heads
of the European nations. In the White
house we have the brain and courage
that may safely be trusted by the peo-
pie in the critical times ahead.
And they will be critical times. The
whole earth cannot engage in des-
perate war, destroying utterly billions
of wealth which patient industry has
been generations in amassing, without
having a severe effect upon the for

LoANING FUNDS FOR WAR.

Nothing he has done has more clear
~ shown the stamp of good sense and
good craftsmanship than President
Wilson's declaration against the loan
ing of American funds to the warning
nations. The moment any consider
able sum OF money from the United
States is furnished to any one OF the
contending powers neutrality will go
by the board, because the return of
principal and interest must depend to
a large extent upon the success of the
borrowing nation. With American cap
ital invested in the enterprise of war,
Americans owning it would necessarily
be partisans and the difficulties OF the
government in maintaining an Impair
tial attitude would become much more
serious.
But violation of neutrality is not the
only reason against making such loans
now. All available American capital
is needed IN developing our means OF
commerce and to manufacture the
commodities heretofore supplied from
abroad and of which the war has de
prived US. In the long run investment
along these lines will be much more
certain OF giving returns than loaning
funds to belligerent nations. however
alluring the promised rate of interest.

CONGRESSMAN from the Fourteenth District.

tunes of the few noncombatants among
the nations.
Just to mention two of the possible
dangers-that of being involved in the
war itself; and that of being disas-
trously involved in the financial crash
that is bound to overtake Europe If
this war is continued to the bitter end.
If we can avoid both of these dangers.
the destiny of America in the near
future will be something undreamed of
until the present moment Upon
Woodrow Wilson will devolve the
mighty task of preserving the nation.
Should Europe utterly exhaust her
self-her lives and resources-in the
present struggle, there is nothing
ahead of her but bankruptcy. The
bankruptcy of Europe would put a
financial strain upon the United States
that would be well-nigh unbearable.
II European currency, for instance,
were impaired, there would be a rush
to exchange American securities own
ed abroad for American gold. The
American gold supply is entirely in
adequate to meet such a demand.
The glittering prize held out to
the United States is the foreign trade
formerly held by the manufacturing
nations of Europe. II is the under
lying cause of the present war-the
bone over which the foreign war-dogs
are fighting. And the lean hound on
this side of the ocean is preparing to
escape with that bone while the others
are fighting.
There is a possibility that Germany
or any other European nation, seeing
America preparing to monopolize the
foreign trade for which they are fight
ing with bullet and bayonet, might de-
attempt to involve the Unit
ed States in the war. This would eff
fectually prevent us from Selling the
trade The ease with which such
course might be followed is shown in
the recent incident regarding the To-
cation of a German wireless station
in Long island.
The prize is a glittering one if we
can thread the rapids and gain the
still water ahead. Such prosperity as
never before was known awaits us
there. In the White house sits our
pilot and guide. He is borne down with
care. There is a new, great grief for
him to bear, but his courage is still
The best of life has gone
for him, but, spurred by the respon-
sibility of his Office, by the knowledge
that the faith of the people is in him,
with squared shoulders he faces the
future unafraid.

ROAD LEGISLATION TANGLE.

To bring about revision OF state

task undertaken by a special Joint
Committee appointed at the third
American road congress and repre-
senting the American Bar association

the undertaking are discussed in an

airy Tales Poison ChiIdren's Minds.

Censorship OF moving picture films
is carried out particularly for the well
fare of children. No matter what may
be the influence of suggestive scenes
upon the mature mind, we all know
the harm of immoral suggestion upon
the impressionable mind of the young
chilr.
Fairy tales have always been con-
sidered a legitimate and elevating
form of entertainment for children.
Some of the stories written by An
derson, the Grimms and other noted
authors are classics. Bluebeard,
Little Red Riding Hood, Golden
Locks and the Three Bears. Beauty
and the Beast-who would think
that such ancient freside stories
could injure a child's mind?
Don't Be Bound BY Tradition.
Because a thing is old and long
established is no good reason for
saying it isn't wrong. Our ancestors
found fairy tales almost indispen-
sable, for want of books. Today we
have plenty of truthful and interest
ing stories for young children. We
need not draw on the sickly and dis
torted imagination of our classic
fairy tale writers. One will find that
nothing amuses the children so much
at storytelling time as a rehearsal
of simple incidents from ones own
childhood experience. or incidents
which might happen to anybody in
real life.
Professor Freud. the famous med
icaI psychologist, and other author
titles in the field OF nervous and men
tai disease, have shown how impress
sions made upon the childish mind
by fairy tales tend TO stimulate alb
normal thoughts. In many cases,
these specialists find that erotic and
neurotic symptoms are directly
traceable to suggestions originating
in fairy stories heard at the mothers
knee.
Nourish the Child Minds with Good
Stories.
Why should we feed the immature
mind on yarns in which murders and
beheadings and cruelties OF all kinds
are practiced without regard for
human life or for the consequences
OF criminality? What Is the differ
ence between a nasty film In a movie

flow through the blocks at different
rates, varying intensities of luminosity
can be obtained. Each unit compos-
ing the panel can be rendered lumi-
nous separately or in any sequence de-
sired Changes in luminosity can be
made at the rate of several hundred
times per second. BY energizing the
metal blocks in the proper order and
sequences it is, therefore, possible to
reproduce images in motion by trans
hitting the electrical impulses over

gestive thoughts engendered in the
child's mind by a Bluebeard recital
or any other portrayal of wicked
ness?
Consign the fairy stories to the
furnace flames and nourish the chill
dren's mind with true nature stories
or pictures of real life. They will
have sweeter dreams-especially
sweeter day-dreams.

Yesterday;
The lofty walls looked dull and BROW.
In the town:
I yearned to leave the clang and roar,
I wished to bask upon some shore
Where the sea,
Calm and still and blue, might spread,
While the bright sun overhead,
Beamed on me.
Yesterday my heart was sad,
Now it's glad;
Yesterday I looked ahead.
Full of dread;
There was nothing here that cheerec.
Every sign I saw appeared
To Cypress;
Though the traffic ever streamed
Through the noisy streets, It seemed
Profitless.
Now the city seems sublime,
There's a chime
In the changing of the gongs,
And the wrongs
That intruded everywhere
Are no more, the scene is fair,
That was mean:
All the walls are grand and white,
And the future stretches bright
And serene.

That a lady fair to see
Smiles on me,

Which was mean and drear and brow.
