WAY FOR THE YOUNG MEN!
Condition That Must Be Recognized ls Pointed Out by Writer in
 Magazine.

Clear the way for the young men. They are entering the strong, four ishing, and beautiful age of mans life" They decree the changes. The map of the world may be rolled up every acre tramped upon and inhab' ited. But still they come, claiming all the rights of the adventurer and pio- neer Domains must be found for them if the old earth has gone stale. If the life of danger and discovery Is ended, then they will turn their hand against our secure world and refash-' ion the pleasant places. They will uproot tradition and shatter the insti- tutions. We should like them better if they fitted into our scheme, if they were ruddy and cheery and ended there. But they come earnest and critical They jeer at our failures. reject our compromises. It isn't our idea of youth our peaceful picture Of waht youth should be- Poets sing it as if it were a pretty thing. the gentle possession of a golden race of beings. But it is lusty with power and disas- trous to comfort. Men sigh for 1t as if it had vanished with old Japan at the hour when it is romping in thelr courtyard and challenging their dear beliefs. They are wistful for 1t in their transfgured memory, and they curse it in their councils, for youth never is what the elders would have it. It does unacceptable things, while age stands blinking and sorrowful It is unruly, turbulent power on it's end less track-Colier' Weekly.

He Remembered.

One day l told my son, aged three. to pick up his blocks quickly. for din ner was ready to begin at once, but he would no more than get them piled up until he would accidentally knock them over again. Finally I reproved him rather sharply, and. looking up at me with hurt feeling. he said: Mamma, am I bad boy!"
 I answered.: "No. dear but you are careless"
 A few days later I had occasion to give him a dose of medicine. He didn't want to take it, so I said, en- couragingly, Take 1t, it isn't bad"
 We'll he answered, If it isn't bad, it's careless. ."-Chicag Tribune.

Medals for What They Don't Do.

Dear me" said the potentate, who are those people and what is the mean. ing of their enormous badges?"
 Prince was the reply, they are members of temperance society and their badges signify that they never get drunk.

chance Of improving the Western
league circuit unless these franchises
are transferred to cities where Ameri-
can association franchises are now
held. Even at that. it is doubtful II
these clubs would pay out. as past ex-
perience teaches that towns winch
drop from a higher to lower class new
er survive the shock and the fans Will
not patronize the clubs. These towns
cannot be forced out of the circuit.
Should the Topeka and Wichita
clubs withdraw from the Western
league, it has been suggested that an
effort be made to reorganize the old
Western association with these two.
Oklahoma City and others included.
This, in the opinion OF the writer,
" -uld not help the three towns men,
toned as the fans in all Of them have
been educated to a higher class OF the
American pastime and would not pa
tronize baseball in such a circuit as 1t
would be possible to organize.
1t also has been suggested that To-
posed Of the better towns OF the
Three I league in a class B circuit.
This would look better as far as class
is concerned, but the long jumps.
which are now the curse Of the West
ern league, would exist in the pro-
posed class B circuit. Nothing would
be accomplished except smaller pay
roll OF course that would help
some.
Topeka Owners Game.
The owners of the franchise in To-
peka do not want to sell their fran
chise. They have too much invested.
A conference between Archie M. Cat
lin. president of the local company,
and two club owners of the western
league last week, revealed much OF
this information. Mr.. Catlin is in ia
vOr of retaining the franchise and the
entire Western league circuit with q
schedule of 1874 games and salary
limit Of $2,5O0 to $4,000 per month
instead Of $500 which now Is the
limit. The salary limit in the West
ern league, during the last three
years, has been given no attention and
all of the first division clubs have ex-
ceeded it continuously.
It is admitted that the Sioux City
club will win the pennant in the West
ern league this year. The rams OF
that city have been turning out as
we'll as in any of the others. but at
that it is alleged that the pennant
will cost Ed Han1on, owner OF the
club, at least $4,000 more than the
club has collected in gate receipts
and various concessions
The fans in the smaller towns this
year have turned out better in pro-
portion than in the larger cities. Not
more than one or two towns on the
O'Neill circuit will break even. Sioux
City, Lincoln, Omaha, st. Joseph, To-
peka and Wichita are among those
which have lost money, and the Des
Moines club will not do any better
than break even. This will leave Dem
yer as the only club with a chance to
come out and even this is doubtful.
| as McGill has spent lots Of money In
| trying to produce a four-time pennant
winner.
| So peace with the Feds and organ
lied baseball is the only thing that
will cause baseball to resume Its nor
NAL condition, and the result OF the
| proposed agreement, II it is Effected,
will have much to do with baseball In
minor league cities during the year
of 1915.
| Let us pray for peace.

CHANCE Will REMAIN
As the Yankee Leader Next Season
Despite Contrary Reports.

New Pork, Sept 15-Frank Chance

dered his resignation. as manager of
the local American League team. To-

Owner Frank Farrell and big BLY,
Devery was amicably settled following
a verbal apology from Chance.
Chance admitted that he was un-
justified in using the language that
nearly precipitated blows between
himself and Owner Farrell Chance
was said to have atteropted to strike
at Devery and for this he declared he
was sorry that he permitted his wrath
to get the better of his judgment.
Chance insisted that he would fulfill
his contract with Farrell and would
finish out the season as we'll as COM
mand the Yankees through next sea-
son. Farrell made no, public state
ment tcdav. but it is bei,cved that ne
will declare the incident closed.

ELIMINATE FREIGHT LOSS.
Santa Fe Meeting in Pueblo Thi
Month to Probe Causes.

.
Month to Probe Causes.
The Santa Fe railway systems semi
annual loss and damage meeting will
be held in Pueblo the week Of Septem-
Der %. More than 100 delegates will
participate, representing the operating,
traffic, mechanical, legal and account
ing departments. There are fifty sub
jects on the docket, the Topeka as
signments being to r. J. Parker, gen.
eral manager: J. C. Burnett, assistant
general freight agent; II. c. Pribble,
freight claim auditor; ]. c. McGoff,
mechanical superintendent, and J. C.
Swanson, car shops superintendent.
The object of the meeting is to make
plans to reduce the item of expense
growing out of the loss of and damage
to freight shipments by eliminating,
SO far as possible, the causes for such
item. A case of loss or damage gen.
orally is the result Of somebody's care
lessness, either the railway employee
who did not handle the shipments
properly, or the shipper, or his en-
plOyee, who did not properly prepare
the shipment for transportation. The
legitimate claims which the railway
company pays every year run far into
the thousands Of dollars. BY the adop-
ton of efficiency methods, the Santa
Fee has eradicated much Of the evil
complained of, and officials continue
to make continued improvement in the
situation.
This is not a move on the part of
the Santa Fe to get out of paying
legitimate claims; it is a move to do
away with causes for claims.

TOSS AUD DAMAGE MEETlNG
Santa Fe Meeting to Reduce
Cause Of Damage Cases.
Other Items Of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Railroad executives say that in all
likelihood the nations now at war
may be compelled to issue bonds to
pay on their Indebtedness after the
war is over. These bonds will very
likely bear q high rate of interest.
Furthermore it is contemplated that
those nations will impose q tax on
foreign securities held by their citi-
gems. This would naturally result in
the sale OF American securities and q
general purchase Of the proposed gov
ernmental bonds which the European
nations WI have to issue.
Because domestic railroad securities
form the greater proportion Of the do
mestic securities held abroad, the
American railroads expect to be the
greatest sufferers when the European
war is over. Another situation which
is harassing the railroad people, Is
that already the roads are facing q
desperate situation because of lack of
revenue. The European war has re-
suited in a decided setback to Amer
lean railroads, inasmuch as the traf-
f1c has been hindered because Of the
lack OF foreign markets. The physi-
cal equipment of the roads is in great
need Of repair and there is no place
to borrow money.
When II. q. Nudge, president Of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific sys-
tenn. was in Topeka last month. he
pointed out the fact that as the Amer
lean railroads depend largely on for
eign capital, a crisis, perhaps disas-
trous, was coming.
In face Of this, the interstate COM
merce commission has announced its
purpose to prosecute an investigation
into the financial history Of several OF
the railroads. one Of these being the
Rock Island, similar to the investiga-
ton into the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad. While railway
authorities say they do not desire to
block any governmental inquiry, they
say that any evils, should they exist
in the financial management of the
roads, could be corrected quietly with
out ostentation and newspaper pub
licity. thus preventing a needless in
/ jury to the reputation Of the road
Some of these matters and situations
that may grow out of them were un-
der consideration by railway mer
when the conference with the presi-
dent was arranged for.

ers from this league could not be Sc
