GOSSIP OF THE GAME

(By Jake Lewis, Official Scorer.)
The Kaws accomplished one thing
which might be considered revenge.
The Drummers started the local aggre-
cation on its long fall which ended with
disa strous results and the Kaws in re-
turn tore the Drummers out OF first
place and sent them to third place. all
in one day. This was accomplished by
winning a double header.

The Giants and Athletics appear to

The other members OF the pitching
staff are too cratic to be depended

Abe same can be said of the Athletics.
In Plank, the Athletics have a veteran
whose career is liable to come to an
abrupt end at any time. Bender looks
good but who can tell about his ability
to endure another hard campaign? Con-
ME Mack's young pitchers appear to be

our opinion, the American League Is

NEW PHILIPPINES POLICY.

A new light is shed upon the de-
mand for the independence of the
Philippines by the new position which
has been taken by Delegate Quezon
from the Philippines to this country
As the result of a conference with a
number of prominent men of the is
lands he has become convinced that
it is not independence which is want
ed but the establishment of a protect
crate over the islands the same as Eng
only what he thinks would be best for
the islands, but what he is planning
to urge upon congress. BY his state
ment he has become convinced that
Philippine independence would cause
friction and complications which might
result in the division of the islands
among several nations
This is of course decided change
from what has been urged upon con-
gress by Delegate Quezon and it is
a sudden one. 1t even disregards the
attitude which has been taken by the
administration upon this very subject
and virtually declares 1t undesirable.
1t gives evidence of having taken into
consideration the many solid facts
which have been stated about the is
lands by those who are in a position
to know and realization of the exact
conditions The action which is now
favored indicates that all that has been
said about the unpreparedness of the
islands for independency has not been
exaggerated and presents with new
force the dangers which are to be en-
countered by rushing into It,

A PROPER ACTION,

The action of the postoff1ce depart
ment Is passing an order preventing
the acceptance Of game for shipn1ef1
by parcel post when 1t violates the state
laws is only what could reasonably be
expected under the circumstances. The
injustice of the order admitting game
to the parcel post when 1t made null
and void the state efforts In behalf Of
game conservation was perfectly ap-
parent. 1t was unreasonable to be-
iieve that one method of transportation,
even though operated by the govern
ment, should be allowed to carry on
a business which Is denied TO others
and which is direct violation OF exist
ing law The express companies in
living up to the regulations concerning
the shipment of game were unjustly
Disseminated against and the interests
of the state were given no considera-
ton, until the order modifying the
parcel post rule was issued
Where no state laws exist concern
ing game shipment out of the state 1t
is of course the legitimate business of
parcel post and will continue to be,
but recognition of the states rights to
protect it--Same and to guard it's laws
against vioNtion has been taken. 1t
was a situation which needed to be
cleared up and it has been done in a
manner which must meet with general
approval. Those who were willing to
violate the law found a handy con-
federate in the government service.
Having it's attention called to the sit
uation it was the duty of the govern
ment to take just such action as has
been announced

AUTO SIGNS NEAR SCHOOL.
HousEs.

The action which is being taken by
the members of the school committee
in behalf of proper signs in the street
as a warning to autoists of the loca-
ton of a school is none too early. It
is matter in which full precaution
needs to be taken for the protection of
the lives of the children. There is al
ways danger from the fast operation
of automobiles and this is greatly in
creased when passing a schoolhouse
when the children are gathering or
leaving. There is no uncertain amount
of responsibility which is placed upon
the driver of such vehicles but there
is also a responsibility which every
town not only must but can afford to
assume in not only enforcing the law
concerning speed, but in maintain
ing proper signs of warning which will
overcome any excuse for fast driving
when passing schools.
The matter of expense should be
considered only as to a reasonable and
proper use OF the money 1t is a re-
quirement imposed by the state and
it is duty in behalf of accident and
death prevention which should receive
requisite attention. Great and com
mendable efforts are being made in be-
half Of education but it should not be
allowed to overshadow the necessity
of safety. Unsafe buildings and un-
healthfu1 conditions where the children
must go would not be tolerated and
there is no more reason for the fail
ure to exercise the same concern in
behalf of the highways. If in all the
time the signs are up only one life is
saved or one accident averted, it will
pay. Just so long as there are no
signs the autoist is possessed of an
excuse for not knowing of the loca-
ton of the school

EueENic LEeIsL ALTON

The state of Wisconsin is a leader
in much modern legislation. If new
and advanced ideas are sought they
can generally be found in that north
ern commonwealth. The desire seems
to exist there for the trying out of
whatever seems to offer a chance for
betterment in government or other
conditions and as testing ground it
has done a great service to the rest
of the country. 1t has discovered the
good as well as the evil Of much new

which aresback Of the eugenic move
ment. There is however, always an
opposition to eonpulsieh and what
might besconsidered coed for the other

CONSERVING RADiUM,

It is a we'll established fact that
there is no great supply of that pro-
duct known as radiun1. 1t is already Of
much value but just how important it
may vet become because of its eura-
tive properties is not known. Txper-
iments made with it offer much encour-
agement, so much so that they are
bound to be continued with great hopes
particularly in the great endeavor of
finding a remedy for cancer. It's scar
city and its Importance SO far as es
tabished warrant, however, the taking
of such steps as will conserve this
natural resource.
In urging such action by congress
Secretary Lane takes his position
from the fact, as he states. that
1T appears to have been established
that radium when applied in time is a
cure for superficial cancer and some
of the highest authorities advise that
there is no reason to doubt the effec-
tiveness of radium as cure for In
ternal cancer, but that so far we have
not been able to secure a sufficient
amount of the mineral to determine
how far in the body its rays will be
effective"
The need of larger quantities of the
mineral is realized for the determine
ton of it's full value. Much of the
radium producing property is already
in the control of the government and
the wisdom of the effort to conserve
that for the benefit which can be gain
ed therefrom by keeping it away from
private ownership can be readily rec
ognized. 1t is a strange fact that
while this country has much property
yielding radium ore, that practically all
the radium comes from European coun-
tries This effort for conservation is
aimed in the right direction. Being
the peoples property its treasure
should be reserved for the peoples
benefit

Thouahts 'for the New Year.

Mr. Editor: An old shoe always
looks it's best when it is polished. But
the merchant that starts in for a sue
cessful career at the commencement of
the new year should not depend en-
tirely on polish for success; for beau
ty of character with it counts better.
Fair dealing is a cosmetic that makes
the merchant look fair and it won't rub
off like shoe polish or the cosmetic
that the merchant may sell to some
ladies, which, good judges say, is beau
ty only skin deep. Yet of the latter
article there is one fair thing about
it; it never deceiVes anyone that has
beauty of her own.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Standard Weight of Sovereign.

The Standard Weight of Sovereign.
Mr. Editor: That problem proposed
by Mr.. Talcott, and of which he gives
two very intricate solutions. is even
very much simpler than he asserts 1t
TO be. being only an exercise in simple
proportion"
The English sovereign is equal to 20
shilIings; hence if the ounce (4SO
grains) of gold be coined into II
shillings 10 1-2 pence, then the ratio
of II shillings 10 IL pence to 20 shill-
ings is the same as the ratio of the
ounce of gold is to the weight of the
sovereign. The formula is this, there
fore: us 10 I'D: 20s:: $50 grains:
123.27447.
This eliminates all that speculation
about the composition" of the sove-
reign as it's weight and not it's fineness
is the question of the problem.
