There Is variety in an orchestral
program that appeals to all tastes.
and the, programs presented by the
Russian Symphony are neither too
heavy for the average music lover nor

has been done to improve and extend

What in your opinion is the reason
of the government limiting an ac-

REPLIES no JANE adams

6oILor Jay Book:-Permlt me TO
say a few words in regard to Jane
Adams statement on child labor.
We have several kind of reformers,
and each kind want some law enact
ed for this or that evil, but it seems
that all these laws are to reform evil,
not to abolish it. We don't need
federal child labor law. We have
universal love. That law is parent
love. No mother will send her chill
dren to work unless-s she has to choose
between sending them to work or see
ing them starVe at home.
Child labor is mostly spread where
the fathers are getting the lowest
kind of wages, and that speaks for
itself. There are degenerate parents.
This is true, but they should be cured
with education, not punished with
fines.
Some reformers want a minimum
wage law for women to cure vice, but
when the fathers will get enough to
support their families they will not
send their children to work. And if
all young men will get enough to
support families there will be more
happy marriages than old maids. And
Barratt O'Hara's honeymoon express
will not be needed Henry Ford's en-
ployes have proven this.

Advice to Last Chance Boys"
Failure exists only in the grave
boys being alive whether they are
good or bad had not yet failed:
Seek comrades among the indus
trious, for those who are wilfuly idle
will sap your energies from you.
The world belongs to you, your es-
tate, you must fear nothing, not even
the police, ask for no privileges, but
demand them.
Whatever you desire of good is
yours, you have to stretch forth your
hands and take it.

work. then why don't you unite to en-
act a law, to give back to men their
natural -right-which some crooked
men of power have taken away from
them-and, that is, the right to work
and the right to get the full product
of their labor? This law would hit
evil at the root, this law would abol-
ish the real cause of all evil, and
the only reason that l can see why
you don't unite is, some of you are
blind and some wish to be blind.

GRAB The REAL MAN

San Francisco, June 2o.-Word
reached here from Shangai, Japan,
that the police there arrested Peter
A. Grimes, convicted forger, who sub
stituted Albert Johansen; a Scandin-
avian, for himself. shanghaied the
man when he was drunk and sent him
across the Pacific ocean as a prisoner
on the U. S. transport Sheridan.

double and single, the two-ply blow
being responsible for the only Buff
falo run. Around first base he han
died everything that was thrown to
him and made the Buffalo infielders
feel secure in turning loose hurried
pegs.
The atmosphere must have remind
ed Hal of the South Side. 1t was
pitchers battle, in which his mates
could not connect in the pinch.
And aside from the work of Earl
Moore and Irwin LANCE there was lit
tie to the game The Buffed HEAVIER
allowed two hits, but both were
punched with pass for our pair of
runs. Lange granted but five blows
and managed to keep them spaced
until a pair came in the ninth for
the lone run.
Fourier went on the job in place
of Chase at the South Side and there
was no loss of effectiveness in the
first battle of the new alignment. Jack
had nothing difficult to handle in the
fielding line and punched two hust-
ling singles. He was robbed of triple
through star catch by Henriksen.
Play FournIer regularly, ana ne
should bat as well as Chase, possibly
few points better.
But the difference will be felt in the
defensive department.
It is not often that we drag in Old
Man Psychology, but he has a place
here. Fourier will grab the throws
that come his way, and will get fair
proportion of the wild ones. But the
other three infelders will suffer in
their work, as we have frequently
said.
They do not repose the same con-
fidence in Fourier that they did in
Chase. In fact, there are few first
basemen who can give their helpers
such affecting of security as Hal.

minutes before yesterdays game
against the Boston Red Sox.
Apparently the sudden acquisition
was also surprise to the Federal
men, for in none of the morning
papers yesterday was there notice
that Chase would play. And a great
advertisement was overlooked, for
Chase would have pulled three or
four thousand more people to the
Weeghman park.
The Feds would have been perfect
ly safe in playing up the acquisition
Of Prince Hal, as no courts were open,
and Comiskey would have been I'M
able to prevent the performance of
his former hired man through court
action.
Now the South Side owner is to
ask an injunction against Chase play
ing with any team but the White Sox.
Whether the paper viii be served to-
day will not be known until game
time. Some of the Buffalo officials
limited that Hal had been spirited out
of town and would not be used again
here.
But comiskey says this will not
stop him, as he will resort to the
courts in every city of the Federal
League.
There was no intimation of the rea-
sons which caused Halls sudden leap.
Possibly the Feds have dug up some
legal angle that will protect them,
for, under the Interpretation of big
league contracts handed down by
several judges, they would have only
had four days more to wait before
they could grab Chase in perfect
safety.
Until the game started yesterday
nine-tenths of the North Side fans
did not know Chase was to play. He
worked for about five minutes in
practice, but no stir was created until
