ish policy viii not be one of
"watchful waiting" as her sub
jects are lined up against adobe
walls and shot to death. We may
be equally certain that Great
Britain will neither formally nor
inferentially advise her subjects
ito fee the country" in order to
save either their lives or their
property.
So long s the forces at the
command of Great Britain are
equal to the maintenance of the
rights of her subjects, in any part
of the world the world knows
that they VIII be enforced to the
uttermost, not by craven with
drawal and the sacrifice of prop
erty rights, but by the protec-
tion of the constituted authorities
of the countries in which they
happen to be.
The world does not expect hesi-
tation or faltering by Great Brit
ain; on the contrary, it expects
action-action that will give re-
newed assurance TO British sub
jects that their persons and their
property will be safeguarded,
wherever located, or punishment
and reparation eXacted for the
violation of either
Contrast the situation devel-
oped by the murder of a British
subject with that that has long
existed while scores of Americans
have been ruthlessly murdered
The attitude of our Government
gives our citizens no assurance of
immunity from violence or wrong
beyond the confines of our own
territory. The restraining influ-
ence begotten of a knowledge that
punishment will be inflicted and
reparation secured for injury to
the person or destruction of the
property of our citizens does not
exist in any part of Mexico, least
of all along that great stretch of
territory that joins our own.
Sovereign nation that we be-
lieve ours to be, we find we justly
rank far below Great Britain in
the eyes of Mexico and the world.
The persons and the property of
our citizens suffer irreparab BILE
wrongs as a consequence. Wrongs
that never would have been in
flicted had firmness instead of
weakness been the controlling
policy of our Government as it
has been of Great Britain's.
And if, in the end, the demands
of Great Britain compel the Unit
ed States to intervene in Mexico,
to secure punishment of those re-
sponsible for the murder of Ben
ton, to exact reparation to the
fullest extent possible. and to pre-
serve the sacredness of our Mon
roe Doctrine, incidental to which
punishment is meted out to those
responsible for the murder of
Americans and the theft or de-
struction of their property, will
not our cheeks burn and our blood
tingle with the modification and
humiliation to which the ineXor-
able necessities of the circum-
stances subject us as people and
as a nation?

WHICH, WOODROW

Another test of Woodrow Wilson
is coming. Let's particularly observe
how he meets it.
1t will be up to the president to de-
eide whether the new Alaska rail-
road shall be operated by the govern
ment or leased, after Uncle Sam has
built it.
If leased, the road will have to pay
a profit to private capital.
If operated by the government, the
road can be operated at cost, plus an
amount sufficient to gradually reim-
burse government for its cOnstruc-
ton.
Is Woodrow Wilson sufficiently
progressive to Let Uncle Sam Do
It?"

own coaches sometimes know them
better than their mothers. The ac-
ton in football maneuvers is often
so rapid that it is even out of the
question to determine not only who
the individuals are, but from what po-

9 PEAKING of Andy, Mr.. Ryan's
~ encourag ement regarding the ex-
Red and White SoX veteran, now
playing with Rochester, arises from
the tone of Mr. MCConnelfs last let
ter to the Atlanta club.
HE still was saying he didn't quite
want to play ball in the South" Mr..
Ryan said. but ne wasn't anything
like as positive az he was in his first
letter At that time he was sure he
wouldn't like to move from his home
in Utica; he had a large family OF
small children. was afraid of the eli
mate, and all. that.
h. an his last letter Andy just says
ne feels tied to Utica on account of
having money invested there in prop
erty he wants to look after. That
doesn't sound nearly as negative as
his first letter"
And so the Cracker management is
feeling more hopeful of getting the
desirable veteran and crack adolf
man to work around the keystone.

rANY will regret that the Foot

IN the experience OF the various
leans that have decided of their own
accord to try the system next year
shall be forthcoming.
This is conservative and, perhaps,
host on the whole; but 1t is most
J,ficult to understand why 1t would
nnt he a most desirable thing to do.
If may indeed not be as good thtng
az some imagine, but in no event that
! ran see could it work out to a dis
advantage or to the detriment OF the
game.
The idea is to attach to the back
of each player large number, which
number will indicate on a score. card
...,ooooo who the player is.
BY means of this
Should number the spec
Number All tators will be en-
p,avers abled to tell read
lily just who the
---,--~0~-~70-0-"@~~7-~ player is making
a certain good or bad play, whereas
without such a distinguishing mark
it is almost impossible for one person
in a hundred at the games to recog-
nize individual players.
For some years l have urged this
system of numbering not only for
football but for baseball men as well.
In baseball the players are much
more widely scattered than they are
in a football contest, and when in
the field at least they may generally
be identified by reference to the po-
sitions they are playing, which posi-
tons are indicated on the score card.
But when they come to the plate to
bat there is no way of making out
who they are unless one is personally
familiar with the features or physical
appearance of the player and with
his name; or unless they screw up
courage enough to trespass on. the
good nature of a neighbor who may
or may not know it all.
And not only do we sometimes
want very much to know the identity
of the batter, but of several base run
ners who may be on ahead OF him.
Perhaps we are trying to keep the
score. and, though we make no pre-
tensions to being an expert scorer,
yet it affords us certain small sat
isfaction to keep a score of the game
in our own humble way. But we are
not as familiar with the personal ap--
pearance of the players as they come
to the plate as are the regular official
scorers and sporting editors, and 50
We are pretty apt to make complete
iizzle of any attempt to keep an in
telligent score.
The club owners would aid us
greatly in this respect if they would
number the players, and they would
be doing something to make the en-
ioyment of the games all the keener
on the part of their patrons, the fans,
if they would act Oh this suggestion.
While this is only my personal opin-
ion, | am well satisfied that my sug
gestion will meet with the hearty con-
currence of large number of fans.
But if it would be a good idea to
number baseball players, how much
more valuable and pleasing would it
