ten years." he says, probably as
many students in American colleges
have been demoralized by the auto
mobile rs by alcohol"
When college comes face to face
with evil in concrete form why
doesn't it try drastic remedy? If
automobiles are hurting the student
why shouldn't a college forbid him
to have 'hem?
When Columbia University shut
down on football there were plenty
cf predictions that such a molly
coddle program would hurt the uni
versity. But Columbia is still there
ard has, incidentally. more students
than any other college in the world.
Why shouldn't a college be its

The king is dead; long live the
king! But it's the way of baseball
that the new ruler will not reign
long.
Where are the old Chicago Cubs
Of Cap Anson's day, that were the
idols of baseball followers in their
day? They were the perfection of
organized, military, machine-like
baseball in their day. But the ma
chine cracked. Chance. since that
day, has builded another Cub ma
chine, and it, too, has lived its little
span and passed. Yet another is
coming-coming rather fast, too.

Boston Americans won two pennants
in succession; that was their record
in 1903 and 1904; and year later
they landed at the tail end of their
league. Mack's Athletics rooted
them out in 1905, but a year later
the Mackians were hardly able to
keep themselves in the race at all!
McGraw's Giants have been in the
worlds series three times; but
they're manjfesty fading. Mack
has had, by common consent, tho
great Prussianized baseball army of
most recent years; but it grovels
today before the tail-end team of the
tail-end league of three months
agone!
Sic transit gloria! Is Mack's ma

is the very exceptional manager, it
is. He may come right back next
year, and Stallings' Braves may fail

way Of baseball-as has also been
observed of politics, by the by
that the great machine becomes a

sooner or later is put under the AZ

not Withstand.
If the Athletics are waning, then
Washingtonians may take thought of
their own chance of seeing some
worlds pennant games at the Flor
ida avenue garden. Griffith has
been campaigning for a champion
ship at lorg distance. He has a
mighty promising staff of young
pitchers, and some genius fo- max
ing them succeed. His team landed

Walter Johnson comes back next
season. Washington will be right up
in the running. If he doesn't--well,
more things happen in baseball than
in almost anything else or earth.

W AR AND LEATHER.

War is a great consumer of
leather, for gear, trappings, foot
wear. 1t demands, too, the animals
that ought to produce leather, for
service that sacrifices the animals,
their hides, and the posterity that
should produce another generation
of leather.
So manufacturers of leather
things are casting about with re-
newed energy for substitutes. Re-
newed energy, because the quest has
been in progress long time; even
in peace the inadequacy of the
worlds leather supply, like the
wool supply, has heec realized and
reflected in market conditions. War
accentuates the gravity of the stu
ation.
Wherefore substitutes for leather
are to be popularized as widely as
possible; popularized with one class
by making them cheaper, with an
other by making them fashionable.
Milady wno must have the best, and
firmly believes the most costly is
necessarily the best, will be tempted
to save a kid his Skin, by showing
her something fine and fetching in
cloth tops. She will be privileged to

PENSIONS FOR TEACH
ERS.

Washington teachers need not be
discouraged at the outset of their
present effort to obtain a pension
provision merely because previous
attempts in that direction have
aied.
Once enough votes to pass a re-
|irc mcnt fund measure were pledged
the lower house of Congress-, but
b. bill was not allowed to be called
p for a vote. Sentiment was strong
wen then for a pension for teachers,
|nd since that time many States and
|ities have adopted the principle.
" re than twenty States now have
|omc form of teachers pension to
TF n State or municipal aid is
ii en-.
Five States, Arizona, Maryland,
N ne, New Jersey, and Rhode
Ind, have an out-and-out pen
Fic7 to which no contribution is re-
r ed from the teachers. But
y shington teachers are willing to
Rss sIme half the burden if the Fed
Eral and District Governments will
fombine to raise the other half.
The present effort has another ad-
F4utage over previous attempts to
kC pensions for teachers. The bill
n-roduced by Senator Pomerene this
T"ek is the simplest, most lucid, and
b st equitable arrangement for ad-
p uistration Of pension fund yet
= ised.
Under the Pomerene bill there is
rc added reward for those who have
bon earning high salaries. The
b simply aims at providing a living
b. sion for AL teachers. and there
= e sets S720 as the straight
p sion to be given to all those who
e. le within the scope of the enact
b ut.
After much revision a simple
b 7thod Of assessing teachers for
Dir portion of the fund also has
|beon devised. The graduated assess
b mt has been done away with, and
b its place is a straight 1'A per
e. 1t assessment on ali teachers
|s aries. This entails heavier pay
p mt on those getting larger
r. aries, and since these salaries are
largely regulated oy length of
s vice, the cumbersome bookkeep-
], entailed ir a payment based on
y ars of service is eliminated.
