Lehi Loses Ball Game
Victory in Great Ball Game Turned
to Defeat by Making Change
at Critical Moment.

Lehi lost the baseball game with
American Fork Wednesday. but even
in the defeat suffered the home team
demonstrated that II Is composed OF
material that, II properly handled. yet
has most excellent chance to win
the county championship. In fact,
many predict that II the boys hold to-
gether they need not lose another
game. The score was IL TO 2 and
American Fork was entitled to the
victory. both from the point Of play
ing and true sportsmanship. Outside
OF the two runs allowed in the first
inning American Fork played a shut
out game. Miller pitched wonder
full game and had excellent support.
Lehi played shut-out ball up to the
eighth inning, when Rife and Robinson
got on second and third, with Happy"
Holmstead up to bat Things then
looked serious and Lehi got bad
scare--not the ball team, but the man
ayers. Street had permitted but three
hits up to this time, yet the managers
were scared and put Harp In the box
and made a general Encouragement.
II proved to be case OF trading hors-
es In mid-stream. Here we draw the
curtain, for further details can only
cause tears. However, we will say
that before the inning was over Hap
py's Colts" had scored three runs, and
IN the next inning they added eigh-
more.
This gives American Fork seven
victories. two over Spanish Fork. two
over Benjamin and one over each other
team In the league, and that, too. with
out single defeat.
The game next Wednesday will be
with Spanish Fork. The boys are de-
termined to reverse results and the
game should be good one.

the phone cOmpanies-gives any aide
the phone interests a chance to vote
it on Sexton and his Interpretation o.
But there is no reason why any
resent the people of Chicago, should
nobody will be fooled~by any alder
man who votes against the public in
terest and tries to excuse himself
with Sections opinion.
That opinion is arrived at by an
absurd twisting of the meaning of
words. Not one man in ten thou
sand who knows anything about the
meaning of words would even
imagine that the word serving
means merely having the ability to
serve, or being ready to serve.
The opinion rests on the following
clauses in the franchise, as finally
amended, granted by council to the
tunnel company, and as separated in
to (a) and o. by Sexton:
(a) eff said company, it's success
sors and assigns, shall fail to con-
struct, equip and install a telephone
system under the terms of said or
dinance to said company of February
20, 1899, adequate for the services
of 10000 subscribers prior to June
1, 1911"
Cb) IF at any time after said June
l, 1911, said company, it's successors
and assigns, shall not have in opera
ton or shall cease to operate a tele-
phone system serving 10000 bona
fide subscribers"
Sexton then concludes that the
courts would hold the company was
serving 10000 bona-fide subscrib-
ers if it had plant installed and
READY to serve 10000 subscribers.
In my opinion that is pure bunk. If
council had meant to provide that the
tunnel company merely had to have
after June 1, 1911, a plant ready to
serve 10000 subscribers, why were
the words ''bona-fide," or good faith,
subscribers mentioned?
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-10-05


actual subscribers who had made
contracts for automatic phones, were
using the phones and paying for the
service.
And it was clearly the intention Of
council at the time that a system
should be in operation that would
have 10000 actual subscribers. If
am not mistaken, the tunnel company
itself placed that construction on the
ordinance and tried to pad out it's list
of subscribers to come up to this re-

talk of the city taking advantage of
the forfeiture clause that cunning
lawyers searched out this twisting of
words and meaning.
1t is such vicious perVersion of
meaning, such trickery in the use of
the law by the privileged against the
public, that breeds contempt for law,
lawyers and judges.
You will get what council really
meant by reading this provision as it
appears in the ordinance, without be-
ing divided into (a) and d.. Here
is what it says:
eff said company, its successors
and assigns, shall fail to CON-
STRUCT, EQUIP AND INSTALL a

said ordinance to said company of

Two different interpretations are put
on the women's vote In fact II seems
to have worked differently In Chicago
and in the rural districts. The news
dispatches tell us that In the city the
wOmen's vote split about the same as
the mems. This view seems to be sup.
ported by the fact that they did not
win a single contest. In fact. although
1t mounted to the great total Of 10000,
1t remained quite insignificant. This
Is Just what we told you. many persons
will cry: suffrage will swell the vote
without altering It's character In any
way; there Is nothing to fear from
women voting. Inevitably the anti
suffragis; will reply: Then what Is the
use? Why drag women from their true
sphere. disturb their minds, excite them,
II the resultant force is to be nil?
But we are told that In the State out
side Chicago the women's vote counted
heavily. It concentrated on the local pro-
hibition issue. To quote THE SUNS news
dispatches, THE drys made substan-
tial gains with the aid Of women's
votes" And again: women voters
more than offset the men who generally
rolled up majorities for the saloons. -
or course. some suffrag ists and all pro-
hibitionists will be pleased with this;
but many calm thinkers will he apt to
say that We have here the beginning Of
the sex antagonism which is feared as
the worst product Of votes for women.
IF the majority Of men want saloons and
women combine to abolish saloons. will
the men stand IL? Will they not COM
bine to outvote the women. or. failing
that. will they not coerce such women
rs they can reach and retaliate upon
the entire sex?
SO far from settling the suffrage
question by practical experience. 1t
looks as II the Illinois election gave
new and intense vitality to all the old
doubts and questionings.

Inhumane Legislation.

An act to amend the public health
law. Senate bill 1854. changes the con-
struction Of Chapter 45 Of the Consoli.
dated Laws. The latter very properly
provides that persons proposing to
practise medicine in this State shall
present certain evidences Of education
and pass State examination to deter
mine his or her qualifications to treat
the sick. The present amendment Eek
empts from State examinations any
person who ministers to or treats the
sick or suffering by mental or spiritual
means. without the use Of any drug or
material remedy"
The average legislator either does
not realize or for reasons best known
to himself and to the cult whose bill
he espouses is obllvious of the facts that
the term practising medicine" does n Vt
mean the using Of medicines. otherwise
drugs, and that mental and spiritual
means may not be safely entrusted to
all. That this is n dangerous fallacy
Is clear as day. For instance. malarial
diseases, which are so fatal that they
made the Panama Canal impossible
until educated physicians discovered
the cause, cannot be cured without
the proper administration OF quinine.
No case OF true malarial disea Sc.
proved true by the microscope, has
ever been cured by mental or spir-
itual means All physicians and I'M
happily many lay persons have wit

clear that II these non.drug healers
were permitted to treat the sick without
State examination they could not make

they could do so. the law would forbii

most Of these healers do not recognize
disease at all. This legislation Ia en-
acted merely to protect them against
deserved prosecution for homicide o,
malpractice.
Physicians would not oppose the
granting Of license to these healers to
practise upon the credulous public IL
they were subjected to examinations to
protect the public against their igno-
rance or contempt for disease. More.

Governor GLYNN would act wisely TO
