pitching the Crackers to a to vic
tory, it becomes our duty to explode
the idea that Mr.. B. is any infant phe-
nom, kid, youngster or similar erup-
ton of juvenility.
None of this in any way reflects on
Mr.. Browning Neither does it re-
fleet on our old friend. General Pub
lie. nor on the trustful sport writer's

saying goes) who informed the Gen
eral that Mr.. Browning was one
promising kid.
Mr.. Browning Just quietly and
modestly put one over without try
ing to in the least-he didn't go
around blowing about himself, and
saying that he had been in the Big
Show you see.
TOR Mr.. Browning, Of the Texas
League, also Is Of the Pacific
Coast Leasue-and OF the Detroit IT,
gers. He is q years old, civil en-
gineer when not engaged in being a
civil ball player, and is fine, quiet,
gentlemanly chap and strictly busi-
ness, on and off the field.
And Gas has been suggested he
looks like a Regular Pitcher.
A r that, Mr. Browning is not very
- elderly in baseball, and he doesn't
look to be anywhere near p in years.
He started professional ball playing
rather late, with the Frisco club, and
rose meteorically to the Detroit IT,
gers in the year of grace 1910. This
fact being guessed at by an enter
prising person named Lou Castro, we
promptly remembered that Mr.
Browning was the celebrity who
kicked in with the Jennings bunch
the year they got away to such an
awful start, losing eleven or twelve
games almost in a heap, the dismal
prospect being cheered by Mr. Brown
ing. who turned up the only two vic
tories they captured in dozen
starts.
MIR. BROWNING stuck around with
INl the Tigers until they got straight

mulated more slabsters than they
could use. So along in August OF the
same year, Mr.. Browning reverted 10

of mainstay Of the slab staff

KING GEORGE ON HARD WORK

King George has sent an interest
ing little message to his subjects in
Great Britain, Ireland and the colon
les. 81 have to work hard myself,
and | think hard work is good for
people," says the message.
Verify, hard work is good for peo-
pie. AS social moralist has just
told us in book entitled "What Men
Live By" work, love and play are the
essentials of happiness, and work, in
cluding as it does discharge of all
duties, is the greatest of these.
1t is not hard work that kills on
impairs efficiency. 1t is either wor-
ry that does that, or else too hard,
too monotonous, too mechanical work
that is not properly relieved by do
mestic life, by wholesome recreation,
by joy derived from nature, art and
social intercourse.
A world without hard work would
be a world of intolerable tedium and
boredom, says the Record Herald But
while we cannot enjoy play and rest
unless we have worked for it, it is
equally true that we cannot enjoy
hard work unless we return to it re-
freshed and stimulated by elevated
pleasure, by glimpses of beauty, by
satisfaction of the noblest of our ia
culties. The overwhelming majority
of men work hard-they have to-but
too many of them, alas, have not
learned to use work as a means of
happiness, have not learned to play,
to give themselves the varied inter
ests that are the spice of life. So
ciety should organize play as well as
work better than it does.

WHY NOT START
Ar THE BEGINNING?

Much national legislation has been
formulated to control cor ,ratlcrs
after they attain great size. Would
it not be better to start at the be-
cirning at take hand in their crea-
ton? If the government is to regu-
late interstate corporations, why,
asks the Wall Street Journal, should
it not incorporate them?
Corporations are now formed under
forty-eight conflicting systems. These
systems range from fairly good to
bad. They do not properly control
their offspring. Some are a little
more than systems for the granting
of letters of marque. Over-capital-
ization, promotion frauds inside ma
nipulation and other evils are invited
by the laxity of the states. Enact
ing drastic laws Olike one now in
the senate) seeking to make the
stock exchange scapegoat for the
inefficiency of the states, will do no
good and much harm.
Nor will trade and commerce be
stimulated by unwise tinkering with
the Sherman law. Something con-
structive is needed There should be
an inducement to honest capital to
take the risks of new enterprise, and
assure it that it may enjoy the merit
ed fruits of success, even as it is
privileged to bear the losses of fail
ure. If development is to go on; if
labor is to be kept employed at living
wages; if the country is to attaia and
hold commanding position in indus
try, large combinations of capital
must be permitted. But the govern
ment can enforce honest organization
of these great combinations, and pre-
vent their power from becoming pre-
datory.

ONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS
FAILURES.

Washington advices are to the eff
feet that Commissioner General of
immigration Caminetti has incurred
the displeasure of Secretary Bryan
and the Wilson administration by his
recent radical and impolitic utter
ances on the question of Asiatic i'm
migration, and that his retirement
from the government service will
soon be announced. Secretary Bryan
has earnestly opposed legislation that
would intensity the feeling of the
Japanese against this country and is
angered at Caminetti's open defiance
of the policy of the administration,
and it is believed that if the Cali
fornian does not voluntarily resign
he will be removed from office, caus-
ing a parallel case with the Pinchot
row in the Taft administration. Ap-
parently Caminetti is willing to sac

ILLITERACY IN THE UNITED
STATES.

Some alarming statements have
been made in congress concerning the
amount of illiteracy that still exists
in this country. A bill is pending for
a federal inquiry into the causes of
illiteracy, and one speaker gravely re-
marked that we have enough utterly
ignorant and benighted voters to de-
termine any national election. This,
however, is true only in the abstract.
Actually our illterates cannot deter
mine any national election.
DR.. Claxton, federal commissioner
of education, is no alarmist, but he
has made an appeal to congress for
an appropriation to enable him to
take a decisive step toward the eradi-
cation of iliteracy-in conjunction,
of course, with state and local edu-
cational authorities. To say nothing
of those who are barely able to read
and write, says DR.. Claxton, we have
at this time over 100000 illiterate
adults in the country.
Clearly, the situation leaves much
to be desired In the United States,
if anywhere, there is no excuse for
illiteracy. Yet it is well to bear in
mind that the problem is not new;

PLENTY OF LAW. BUT

The Washington correspondent of
the Record Herald has described the
get-rich-quick game as it is being
boldly played in the national capital
with completeness that leaves
nothing to the commentator. One
point, however may profitably be en-
phasized.
The takers are not, as a rule, even
within the law" They are cheats
and frauds. The criminal statutes
fully cover their operations. The post
office department has ample power to
put them out of business. If they
thrive and multiply it is because the
machinery of the law and postoffice
administration is too slow and too in
adequate, The takers understand that
that in numbers and speed there's
safety. There are so many of them,
and they are so alert and fertile, that
the authorities are no match for

A NEW REFORM.

In one of our favorite metropolitan
journals, the New York Evening
Mail, to be explicit we note the or
ganization Of the anti-nightshirt YER
elm. This is not as you might ex-
pect an order promoted by the maun-
facturers of pajamas, for that more
modern raiment is as heartily con
demned as the o. f. nightshirt, or
more so. Instead, the purpose at
tempted is the nude-in-bed idea, emil
nent medical authorities, of whom we
never heard, being quoted to prove
that it is essential to physical we'll
being to sleep in birthday clothes.
Which we might deny, being husky
and proud of our pink pajamas, ex-
cent that it isn't worth the trouble.
The point is that many will be willing

they are laboring for the common
good No reform is ever SO silly that
it cannot find supporters, which eX-
plains to considerable extent why
there are so many reformers. Sleep

that illiteracy has been steadily de-
creasing and that our task is compli-
Gated by illiterate immigration and
post-bellum difficulties of the south.
In 1900 the showing was consider
able worse, SO that it would be un-
just and misleading to say that either
the national or state educational
authorities have been Indifferent to
illiteracy. Here are the comparative
official figures for 1900 and 1910:
In 1900, SO per cent of the white
population or 3,20O,746 was illiterate,
while in 1910 only per cent or g.

In 1900 44.5 per cent of the negro
population of the United States, or
1858, 1874 was illiterate while in 1910
only 30,4 per cent or 2,22S,087 could
not read and write.
The figures include all persons over
ten years of age.
