The Polo Cup Goes Back.

surprise and a serious disappointment TO
Americans. Before the games We're played

the equal of any American polo four On
the other hand, the British team had
been so repeatedly changed and so sup
rosedly weakened by various rnishaps
that it was not rated as in the same class

The Headlight Rule.

There should be no difficulty about so
framing the regulation respecting bright
lights on motor cars as to permit the au-
toists of the District to comply with it
fully without misunderstanding. The Po-
lice Court has virtually set aside the
latest rule on the subject on the score
of its uncertainty, and this action, how
ever desirable the enforcement of the
regulation may be, would seem to be
justifable in view of the obvious vague
ness of the terms. A positive boundary
should be set within which bright head
lights are prohibited and beyond which
they are permitted, and that done there
will be no difficulty about enforcement.
In another respect. too, a question
arises as to the meaning or the rule.
one motorist in court protesting that
the lights complained of by the police
were not headlights in the strict mean

goes in point of motor car illumination
it makes no difference whether the blind
ing light is carried directly in the front
or on the side. or, for that matter. on
the top of the ear In the reframing of
the rule the Commissioners should take
this point into consideration.

Maine.

Maine votes in September. and all three
parties are going TO make drive Tor
the state 1t will not be safe. however
to assume that as Maine goes then 50
will 60 the country in November. Take
a chapter of history
The Fifty-tirst Congress with Thomas
r. Reed as Speaker of the House and
William Mckinley as floor leader had
transacted a good deal of business up
to that time For one thing. the rules
of the House had been revised, and,
for another thing, the tariff was under
revision The Mckinley bill had passed
the House and was before the Senate.
The democrats made play for Maine,
as a test of public sentiment re-
publican control. They believed that SEN
timent had changed in their favor. and
they reasoned that if they "downed' the
Speaker at home everything later would
come their way.
Mr. Reed-never afraid-accepted the
challenge. and went TO work in his dis
trict. He '.downed'' the democrats and
returned to Washington with colors fly
Ing. His victory assured him that his
party was still strong with the country
and would control the next House.
dict proved TO be largely tribute per-
sonal to himself. He was the most CON
spicuous son of the state then in office
and the people were deservedly very
proud of him. When November came
the republicans elsewhere were over
whelmed and the democrats voted in
by large majority. Mr.. Reed was sue
ceeded in the Speakers chair by Mr..
Crisp of Georgia. and became minority
leader on the floor.
The democrats since taking full charge
in Congress have done a good deal of
busness-too much the republicans be-
lieve, and some democrats fear. AS d
result. the republicans are greatly heart
ened. They think public sentiment is
changing in their favor. and will show
itself at the polls this year. They won
with whoop in a New Jersey district
last spring. and now if they can produce
some old-time republican majorities in
Maine they will receive their friends at
No. / Easy street.
1t is unnecessary to point out thar a
democratic victory in Maine-breught
about even by the continued aid of the
bull moosers-would greatly hearten the
President and increase the activity of
his friends everywhere else. Between
September and November they would
work al top speed and with abundant
means. under the persuasion that Maine
was showing the way.
Maine is a protection state and that
issue will be raised by the republicans.
Voters who long sustained Blaine, Reed,
Dingley. Frye and Hale will be asked
tn n
tariff, and something more on the same
line when the time comes for revising
the new law. The Pine Tree state will

Base Ball LOYALTY.

Conditions in the base ball world have
not been satisfactory of late. AS a re-
suit of the organization of a rival league.
aspiring for recognition as a major"
organization, its promoters bent upon
spending big money freely, after the
fashion of the old-time trust, to seduce
players from the ranks of the already
established leagues and thus by ruinous
competition to drive opposition from the
field. many of the players have been
made dissatisfied with the already very
liberal salaries paid to them. Some enor-
nous sums have been offered as tempting
bats to star performers, a few of whom
have been won over and others have been
enabled by shrewd use of these PROPOSE
tons from the opposition to bring about
substantial increases in their salaries.
One of the leading players thus tempted
by the promoters of the Federal League
the Washington club. by many rated as
the greatest pitcher in the game today,
a sterling performer, and withal an adj
mirable young man of such a disposition
and manner of Irving as to bring high
credit upon the sport. For little time
rumor has been playing with this situa-
ton. indicating that Johnson was yield
ing to the lure of the promisers of for
tune 1t was sad disappointment to his
admirers to find him thus placed in the
category of those who regard base ball
as merely means of getting rich quick
ly, without respect for the ethics of the
sport and business principles.
Now comes Walter Johnson with
statement of his position which COM
manos admiring appreciation from all
followers of the national game. He
speaks for loyalty and assures the base
ball world that he recognizes that but
for the organization which he is now
serving he would not have become the
success he is today. He sounds a note
which should carry to the ears of all
players who may be thinking of Jump
ing to the outlaw league. Drawing al
ready a salary which is far beyond the
average human compensation, compare
Bile with those paid to the leaders in
business and the highest of government
officials, he deplores putting avarice above
fidelity to his employers
Base ball is business, Of course. and
business principles prevail. In one sense
it is legitimate to go after rivals trade,
but a decided distaste has been developed
on the part of the public for merely
crushing competition of the kind that re-
suited. for an instance, in the develop
ment of the greatest oleaginous combina-
ton in the world. Walter Johnson's
manly stand for loyalty to the organiza-
ton that has made of him a star and
an already wealthy man cannot fail to
have wholesome effect through its
appeal to the uprightness of the players.

Maryland's Roads.
From the Baltimore American.

When the question as to whether the
state roads commission has made or is
expecting to make provision for planting
trees and placing watering troughs along
the improved state highways was put
directly up to the chairman of the COM
mission last week, the answer was that
nothing had been done by the commits
sion in the way of such improvements.
The clause in the state road law pertain
ing to the planting of trees and the plac-
Ing of watering tanks along the improved
roads authorizes the commission to make
such betterments, but is not mandatory
in this respect The chairman of the
commission suggests that local organ
