 The letter written by David L. Fultz of the Baseball Players Frater- nity f,llows in full
 MT. August Hermann, Chairman
 National Commission.
 Dear Sir-lnasmuch as organized baseball sees fit to coltinue violation of section IS and several other sec tions Of the Cincinnati agreement which agreement is a part of every players contract, the board of direc- tors of the Baseball Players Frater- nifty has authorized me to inform you that on and after Wednesday, July .22 the members of the organization will no longer consider themselves under contract.
 "Very truly.
 (Signed) DAVID l.. FULTZ,
 President"
 Shortly after receiving this letter Chairman Hermann, as president of the Cincinnati baseball club called the members of the team together and recited to them his version of the controversy that has arisen. Mir. Hermann said:
 "The friction between the national commission and the Baseball Players Fraternity has arisen over the deci- sion that sent Player Kraft to the Nashville class A club Kraft was originally drafted from Nashville by Brooklyn then transferred to the Boston Nationa's and later signed a contract with the Newark lnterna- tional league club. Nashville imme- diately put in claim for his services under section of what is known as the Cincinnati agreement. This pro vides that any class A player drafted by major league team can De claimed by the class A team frtm which he was drafted, providing he is sent back to the minor leagues.

Clean-Up Campaign.

The cleanup spirit thrives. Among
the news announcements is one that the
Boy Scouts will line up In the fight to
be waged next week for a cleaner W ash
ington." Among the suburbs to register
Of cleaner city Is Anacostia, it having
reen published in The Star that the Ana
costa Citizens Association has decided
without dissenting voice to make an
active war on rubbish and unsishtly and
unhealthy refuse. The cleanup cam
paisn will extend into Alexandria county,
there having been organized in that sub
ton which will promote a general clean
up in that section and will labor for the
establishment OF sanitary conditions
throughout the county. The Fort Myer
Heights Society and the Falls Church

termination TO press the cleanup cam

The Spring Poet.

1t would seem that April weather up
to date has not been as sentimentally
encouraging to spring poets as the month
of showers and flowers usually is. yet
there is a fair output, in quantity. of
spring poetry. Perhaps much of 1t Is
the poetry of last spring. Of the spring
before that, and OF other springs, re-
written in new ink. but still it Is spring
poetry. The ardor of the spring poet
will not be dampened by cold rains nor
chilled by frost. He will sing his lay
even before the bushes bud and the birds
trill. Let the sun cross the equator and
his soul longs to express itself In verse.
Much Of his passion never gets into print.
but the poet should not be blamed for
that. The credit should be given to
editors.

The Commencement Season.

With the approach of the time when
graduation diplomas will be handed out to
thousands of students-an event mo-
mentous in their lives-it is worth re-
calling what is generally known, though
not often spoken Of, that education be-
gins and does not end with graduation.
Along this line of thought there was
printed near the close of the school sea-
son last year letter which was ad-
dressed by the public librarian OF Pas
sale, n. J., to a large number of the
school children of that city, an extract
from which letter follows:
Some of you may feel that your edu-
cation is finished since school days are
over and work begun. but IL you are
ambitious. if You want to make success
Of life, you will find that your educa
ton is never finished. that you mJst be
a day is wasted unless you know more
than you did the day before. How are
you going to do this? Are you going
to work your time each day and then
feel that you can waste all the evening,
or are you going to compel your future
work to be what you want it to become?
There is one way this can be done.
shown over and over again in the lives
of great men you have heard about. II
Is right here that the library wants to
help you. 4 few minutes walk from
your home there Is public library; It
contains books that will rest you: books
that will teach you If you wish to learn:
books that will help you II you want to
advance in your work"
Education is something that Is never
finished. One often reads such absurd
phrases-often self-written, as-"He COM
pieted his education at such and such
school. or she finished her education"
at such and such place. Any person
who has completed his or her educa-
ton is not educated. Acquaintance with
school textbooks is not education. Some
times 1t Is a foundation for education,
but it is never more than that

Parks for Park Purposes.

When officials charged with the care of
public parks seek to preserve park land
Tor strictly park purposes they deserve
unstinted support, even though it Is pro-
fosed to invade the park space with a
project that is useful and interesting.
Parks are parks and not building sites.
They are more valuable as parks than
as anything else, and their park value is
destined to increase as the city grows. In
The Star it has been published that Sec
retary Garrison and the officers of the
Corps of Engineers would preserve Po-
toHac Park exclusively as a park and
playground for the people and protect 1t
against all encroachments that might in
terfere. 1t has been sought to establish
the Langley aerodynamical laboratory of
the Smithsonian Institution and trial fly
ing fields in the park. 1t has been said
that the scientists promoting the aerody-
namical idea have looked upon the new
section of Potomac Park east Of the rail-
road cmbankment as adapted for expert
mentation with hydro-aeropianes and SIM
liar flying machines Application wa.
made to the War Department for per-
mission to use part of the park as the
site Of the laboratory and trial field, with
that in the opinion of the Judge advocate
general such permission could not be
given under the statute governing the
parks except by specific ait Of Congress.
Application being made to Congress the
resolution was referred to the Secretary
Of War. and through military channels
to the chief Of engineers and the officer
In charge of public buildings and grounds
{$
Garrison approves the report and empha-
sizes the point that the use suggested
would be repugnant to the use of this
area for park purposes, to which use it
is now dedicated and in process of being
improved therefor" and also that the
use of the park as d flying field would
be dangerous to thousands of persons for
whose use the park is designed. The
laboratory would be an interesting ex-
hibit and the fight trials and experiments
interesting spectacles, but the use Of q
park for other than park purposes would
be dangerous precedent.

have described in their nickname and
designation as boss is in fact man of
education, of wide reading. Of literary
tastes, and of irreproachable domestic
! life. Gov. Glynn praises him highly. and
predicts excellent service by him in Of
fee. He takes full responsibility for the
appointment. and pronounces the ap-
pointee far superior to many Of those
now assailing him.
Strangely enough, this sort of mistake
was once made about the late Senator
Quay. He had been called Mat SO fire.
quently in public discussion and his boss
ism painted in such high colors, strangers
had come to think of him as a rough
product of Pennsylvania politics, who
knew that game and nothing else. and
played it more brutally than skillfuIly.
As matter of fact he was a. man Of
classical education, thoroughly read. fond
of books and intellectual company, and,
while rough In his methods at times, as
a rule one of the most skillful of party
leaders. Rudyard kipling once paid him
visit at his home in Beaver. and was
amazed not only at the boss conversa-
tional powers. but on finding in the house
one of the most complete private libraries
he had ever inspected anywhere.
This shows that there are bosses and
bosses Because a politician has been
tagged with a contemptuous nickname,
or had his real name abbreviated or
twisted for damaging ends, it is not safe
to set him down as a small and vulgar
wirepuller, haunting barrooms and herd.
ing human derelicts for voting purposes.
He may grade intellectually and in per-
sonal habits with the best men, and have
tastes. and indulge them for good things.
There ought to be a committee to sort
out the bosses, SO that the public could
in no case be misled.

The Southern Republicans.

Coming at another time. the report OF
the subcommittee of the republican ma
tional committee appointed to consider
the question of representation in repub-
iican national conventions would have
attracted much attention. 1t is we'll
drawn. its recommendations are sound,
and it should accomplish the object de-
sired
But just now the public is all ears for
other things Canal tolls. business de-
preston. the new tariff law, the new
currency scheme, the trust question and
other questions are consuming newspaper
space and occupying the thoughts of poll
ticians. Later. however, and In time,
the coast will be cleared. and room made
for a matter of great importance to the
republican party, and, indirectly, to the
country.
The demand has long existed for re-
duction Of the strength of the south in
the naming of republican candidate for
the presidency. For many years the south
has been unable to contribute anything
to the election of such a candidate, and
therefore has exercised her only power
at the time of his nomination. The more
IT has been considered the less defensible
has appeared the possession Of that
power: and now the party is asked to
curtail II by a vote in state conventions
In majority Of all the states, the re-
suit to be obtained and declared by jan
uary 1 next. BY the plan proposed. the
south's strength in national conventions
will be reduced from 50 to less than 16
per cent
The long agitation for this change cul-
minated at Chicago two years ago. when
a big row occurred between the friends
of Mr.. Taft and the friends of Mr..
Roosevelt over the southern delegates.
Those delegates had been regularly In
structed for Mr.. Taft, but an irregular
effort had followed to corral them for
Mr.. Roosevelt. The effort failed. Mr..
Taft received the votes to which under
the basis of representation then existing
he was entitled. and was nominated. The
southern delegates voted as they had
been instructed.
Some southern republicans concede the
argument In favor OF reduction. They
insist. however. that something should be
done to remedy the cause Of their help
lessness at the polls. which proceeds. as
they assert. from a violation of the Con-
stitution by state authorities in the enact
ment Of election laws.
But that IL a matter for Congress to
deal with. 1t is not subject to review,
or to be made the basis Of action, by
the republican national committee, whose
business II is to arrange for a fair ex-
preston of opinion by a national con-
vention as to a presidential ticket and a
presidential platform. One thing at a
time, and the thing within reach first.
And by taking up the thing in reach
now, the republicans can make sure OF
eliminating from their next national con-
vention something that has plagued them
at such meetings for many years.

McCabe to an important state Office.
