The stories which came across the
Atlantic last week of the mstreatmcnt
of Americans in Germany have now
been proved for the most part to be
greatly exaggerated. Archer NJ. Hunt
ington, the New York archaeologist and
collector, and his wife were said to
have been arrested, and put in Jail at
Nuremberg. Subsequent accounts show
that they were neither put in jail nor
arrested. They were detained at no.
tel because of a large collection of
maps which were found in Mr.. Hunt
ington s possession, but they Were not
badly treated, and are said "'to have
no kick coming 1t is probable that
European immigrants arriving at New
York are in times of peace treated
every day in the week quite as roughly
as any of our people have been treated
in Germany during the two exciting
weeks that have just passed.

way to the great population she is cap
able of maintaining. More than $32,-
100000 has been spent on irrigation of
the million acres that are thus made
fertile. The mining products have
mounted to over $5O,00O,0O0 in a year.
Resources are still in process of discov-
cry, while the falls of her many streams
are not yet in harness to do their pos
sihle work. The population, once large
lv foreign, is now native in as large a
proportion as that of Massachusetts,
and illiteracy has been reduced to less
than 5 per cent of the people of 10
years and over in age. These are items
in the list of achievements that mark
the progress of an American state from
the toughest of raw material TO a great
ness none may estimate.

A Business Mems Protest.
fBoston Traveler.l

Business men in all sections of the
country who do not want their bust
ness regulated and controlled by pO-
litical organization, with an army of
government "snoOpers, spoilers and
spies, - should lose no time in regis
tering with their senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress an earnest
protest against the passage at this
time of further anti-business legisla
ton.
Yesterday the directors of the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce adopted n
resolution voicing such a protest, and
other business organizations through
out New England are understood to
have similar action in mind. The
Chamber of Commerce resolution is di-
rect and to the point, and might serve
as n model for other organizations
taking the same view. 1t reads:
50 Resolved: That, in view of the
present worldwide decentralization of
industry and finance, the directors of
the Boston Chamber of Commerce
earnestly urge the senators and repre-
sentatives from Massachusetts in Con
gress to do everything in their pow
er to prevent the enactment of legis,
lation now under consideration impos-
ing new and experimental conditions
upon American business. and request
Congress to suspend further consid-
Grafton of such legislation at this
time.
The trade commission bill, which is
perhaps the worst of the anti-business
measures now pending in Congress has
passed both houses, but has been
amended in the Senate and is now in
conference. There it should remain
1t was mess as it came from the
House, and is little better now, and nc
compromise that might come out OF
the conference committee could be
anything but a menace to business es
pecially at this time, when owing to
world wide conditions business has al
it can do to keep its head above
water
Such measure would give US in the
business world exactly what we have
just seen exemplifed in the railroad
world-a commission of politicians
with quasi judicial powers and unlim
| tied authority to snoop and pry ant
ferret, deciding questions of vital ma
| tional interest along political and geo
| graphical lines.
The President experience in select

ing members of the federal reserve
board, and putting the new currency
system in operation, is not reassuring,
either, as to the possible personnel of
such a trade commission as is proposed.
The currency bill is almost a year old,
and yet in the present crisis it is still
dead letter and an old Republican
emergency measure has had to be re
lied on to save the nation from a
financial panic.
If difficulty was experienced in find
who were not under Indictment by the
federal government, or who were not
Objectionable because of their fnan-
cial or corporate connections, who is to
guarantee that the same difficulty will
not also be experienced in reference
to the proposed trade commission, and
that the business interests of the
country will not be subjected to
kind of men are going to be appoint
ed to administer so dangerous a law?
There are scores of good reasons
why the trade commission bill should
not be passed at all. but the reasons
for postponing it and the other anti
business measures until light breaks
through the clouds of war seem to us
to be overwhelming. The sentiment
of the business world is against such
the business men of the country to
make their representatives and sena-
tors see the light.

Would Make Capable Governor.
Londonderry Sifter.)

Lieutenant Governor Frank T. Howe
has announced his candidacy for gov
ernor of Vermont In his announce
ment he states that owing to his illness
and financial inability he is not to make
a canvass prior to the state convention.
Mr.. Howe is one of the best posted men
in the state on the needs of Vermont,
and his legislative experience would
make him valuable to great degree in
shaping laws bound to be enacted at
the coming session. His politics are
progressive in their nature, and broad
in their outlook. Mr.. Howe would
make one of the most capable govern
ors the state has had in recent years.

Springfield, Mass, has taken up the
campaign against open mufflers on au-
tomobiles and motorcycles. Three men
were fined So each for violating the Law
Saturday. The law is that automobiles
must not open their mutflers in crowded
districts of the city or near houses that
are 200 feet apart. This campaign is a
step in the right direction. Unmuffled
motorcycles are nuisance and the en-
forcement of the law against them is
welcome news.

The leading doctors of France have
for years used prescription of vege-

and constipation that acts like charm.
One dose will convince you. Severe
cases of years standing are often greatly

people are getting surprising results
that we feel all persons suffering from

MAKE READY FOR

LabOrers Start to Prepare Play

national Match.

WESTBURY. June 12.-With the
practise matches of both teams at an
end, Iaborers were at work on the No.
polo field of the Meadow Brook
Club early today. getting it in shape
for the first match tomorrow. The
turf, cut up a bit during the practise
games, will be renovated.
Late this afternoon the polo ponies
of both teams will be taken out for
their final cantor before they appear
on the field for play. No games will
be attempted today by either side,
but it is expected that the players
will take some limbering up exercise
during the afternoon.
Captain Cheape, whose injury
caused the postponement of the first
match, was in the lineup of the Eng
fish team Yesterday, but he was not in
his best form. This is probably due
to his injury and to lack of practise.
His face is still badly distigured but
he will positively be in the game to-
morrow.

Errors Hurt the Tigers.

Errors again crept into Newark 5
once smooth working machine and
three misplays proved costly to the
Champions. Baltimore never lost an
opportunity to take advantage of
every opening the Tigers left them.
As the winning run was scored after
Danforth and relieved Russell, the
.efthander gets credit for the decision.
Dunn was wise in not starting a left
handler, but he was worried when the
Tigers upset his plans by swatting
Russell hard. Today Dunn is ex-
pected to trot out Babe Ruth, who
got credit for beating the Tigers
twice in one day at Newark. One of
his victories was a technical win and
a fluke, as he was driven to cover, and
the Champions hope to stop their lit
tie slump-Ruth or no Ruth.
