in history. And this condition is al
most ruinous to the club owners. But
the club owners will have their day
too, just like the players are having
it now.
"The era of high salaries for ball
players soon must come to an end
When it does you can depend on it
that players who are drawing $4,000
and $4,000 this year won't get any
thing like that figure. They'll be
lucky to get $4,000. The magnates
must retrieve the losses that have
been occasioned by the Federal war
and you may depend on it that when
thy, instead of the players, are once
again in control of the situation, they
will do the retrieving with ven
geance.
There is no doubt but what Chance
knows whereof he articulates. When
the Magnates get control of the sit
uation once again they'll even things
uu for the hold-up game that most
of the ball players played last Win
ter.
/ But that won't prevent the major
ity of the players from having a
lifelong laugh. At least so per cent
of the players who were parties in
the hold-up game will be ready for
the discard when their long-term con-
tracts expire-even before. And
they'll always be able to chuckle over
the fact that in the winter of 1914,
when they had begun to fear ter
rife cut in their 1914 salary, or
even being showed off to the minors,
they were able to shake down their
employers for salary almost double
that which they ever had received be-
fore.

MT. Charles Zueblin. who is deliver ing course of lectures over at the Central High school this week, is an ideal springtime visitor. He is as re- freshing as the green woods them selves; brisk and incislve speaker, logical in his reasoning and whimsi- cally philosophical in his summing up of the characters he delineates
 Intensely practical, MT. Zueblf.l is al- together free from platitudinous elo- quence. With every utterance some briefly and concretely that it drives straight home. Old thoughts from a new perspective, or clothed in new at tire, he makes infinitely attractive.
 He is an ideal springtime lecturer because while there is freshness and buoyancy and even brilliance in his teachings they lack strenuosity-and who would be strenuous in spring ? Even his appearance is satisfactory so soothing indeed. He is cool, grey man-grey hair matching grey Nor folk suit and grey fedora when he goes to meet his audience in the afternoons and the freshness of his vision is brought, apparently, from the field and woods. In very truth, he usually comes straight from the golf links out at the Country club. where he secures inspiration, no doubt, for the keenness of his wit and the acuteness of his criticism. And when he comes before his listeners he falls into the same easy attitude with hands resting on the standard in front of him-and ex- cept for the vigor of his utterances. which are made in a pleasantly modu- lated voice, he would be just a grey statue of an athletic man. It is a pity that his audience cannot see the fine wrinkles about his eyes, for they are laughter wrinkles, and when you talk to him over tea table at the News paper club or watch with him the an tics of late afternoon crowd down town from a motor you know they are there. because his sense of humor is absolutely infectious and because, for a philosopher and thinker, his respon- siveness and downright humanness are amazing.
 Knowing that MT. zueblin Is a be- liever in equal suffrage. l asked him in the course of a conversation the other day, why do you believe in woman's right to vote?"
 He said; For the same reason that any man with red blood believes in it; because I have no right to vote for women. Being a man I cannot know woman's mind, hence I am not capable of thinking nor of reaching conclusions for her"
 How do the people In your commu- nity in Massachusetts take to the idea of women voting?"
 Just as the people in your com munity take to It. Many men oppose it not because they do not secretly ac- l.. T like to keep what they have! It is a sort of vanity that makes them 10th 70 part with power"
 As to the question of woman's fit ness for the ballot MT. Zueblin reiter- ated the views that he expressed dur

ing his European lecture-that Amer ican men, as a class, are ignorant of politics. Women" he says, "are as capable of handling the ballot as men; you must remember that mems intel ligence is very much overrated It is good thing that women are having to make fight to win the vote, however, for if a thing comes easy, we do not use 1t well. On the other hand, the larger the power the better we use 1t. This has been proven in the case of every state and country in which the franchise has been granted to women. We hear contrary reports, yes, but when the truth is told this is always the case Now in my state women have not exercised the school vote as freely as they might; but they are not permitted a voice in the selection of their candidates"
 What do you think should be the qualifications for voting? he was asked. What about a property quali- fication"' This he opposes because he says, property. in the majority of in- stances is a matter of inheritance. If the property qualification is introduced 1t should be seen to that he who uses it has earned the property. l believe in any man or woman of intelligence and education exercising the privilege of the ballot. To the question of color and the question of morality I answer the same it should be simply mat ter of intellectual fitness--a privilege given to all adults who can think
 As to the stock complaint of the an ti-suffragist, that voting will take women out of the home the lecturer said: That is absurd, of course. No woman of today stays at home. Why should she? It Is as ridiculous to say or think that she would do so as it is for Sabbatarian to say that one should go only to church on Sundays. Ev- erybody knows that people don't go to church all day Sunday. They know, too, that the modern woman is not going to stay at home and sit on kitchen stove all day. Times are changed, women are not required in the homes sthey were formerly, when men did their voting for them. Hirelings per form the domestic tasks and a woman Is not actually needed except in such emergencies as sickness-and even then there are trained nurses that can go at moments notice. Everyone knows that argument to be futile"
 MT Zueblin agrees that equal suf- frage the country over will come to pass before many years. The people who acknowledge its justice yet fear the result, he says, make a mistake, That thing is right, he contends, Is all that we need to know of 1t in de- ciding for against. Yet, as he says, so few people believe that "the truth will make you free
 Charles Zueblin is a worthy follower of Edward Howard Griggs who has lectured in Birmingham several suc- cessive sea asons. The two men, bril- liant, scholarly, delightful, are yet un- like. The best way, perhaps, to define the difference is to say that MT. Griggs lifts one up to the heights; in sense quite spiritual, one scars with him. MT. Zueblin, in a dignified, yet com panionable fashion, comes down from a lofty intellectual eminence and walks with you through unfrequented ways.
