NO GRATITUDE IN BASEBALL
Criticism of Connie Mack for ReIeas- ing Three Veteran Players Not
 Based on Business Principles.

! There has been good deal of com ment in the papers recently about the alleged ingratitude of Connie Mack in asking for releases on some of his old players. Such talk is common, or dtnary nonsense.
 Connie Mack is engaged in a busi- ness which involves the investment of large sums of money. He is an agent pr trustee for capitalists and he has ao right in that capacity to feel any gratitude or to have any personal feel tngs whatever except as those feel lngs square up with his business judg- ment and his duty to his stockholders.
 Baseball has gotten beyond the point where there is any sympathy in it in any way, shape or manner It is cold-blooded business arrangement from start to finish and players and managers and even stockholders real

Secretary Daniels Reports.

The annual report of the secretary of the navy for the fiscal year 1914 has literary as well as professional charm. It is a record set forth, not in the dry-as-dust manner of most off cial intercourse, but with the grace of style and happy phraseology of a critical essay on history. It is full of information, and it makes most excel lent reading. Either of these qualities is enough to stamp report of this sort as out of the ordinary, and the two together are quite remarkable
 Secretary Daniels shows pardon able pride in the story of the great service over which he presides. If he has not accomplished all that he hoped in the way of economy. he has cut down expenses while increasing eff ciency. He has brought common sense into play. The sale of the two battle ships, Idaho and Mississippi, to Greece for the price of a dreadnaught is case in point. and there are many more.

Roy corhan Lauded.

Of Roy Corhan, the Frisco short stop signed by St. Louis, Scout Neal of the Philadelphia National club says: "Corhan is the nearest approach to Joe Tinker I have ever seen. He is rangy and wings the ball across the lot just like Tinker. Corhan has a wonderful arm-one of the strongest possible. I had the pleasure of see- ing him in action in only one game, but that was enough to prove to my mind that the San Francisco player is of major league caliber."

ASKED SPEAKER FOR A SONG
And Bibulous Gentleman Escaped Anger of Dignified Head of Brit
 ish Parliament.

MT. Balfour is credited with know. SGg more good stories about the Brit ish house of commons than any other member. One of his best is the fol- lowing, which he told at a public din. ner some time ago:
 T remember hearing of a distin- iguished gentleman" he said, "who re- ported in the press gallery just about one hundred years ago. He had had an excellent dinner, washed down with excellent wine. He was bored with the debate. He was wearied with the superfluity of rhetoric, which pre- vailed just as much one hundred years ago as today. He got bored, and he got up and asked the speaker for a song.
 The speaker of that day was MT. Addington, gentleman who was noth- ing, if not proper. The whole house, except the speaker, was convulsed with laughter.
 The sergeant-at-arms was appealed to. He went to the gallery and he in- quired. The culprit retained the pres ence of mind to point to a respectable Quaker sitting below him, and this unfortunate gentleman was actually taken into custody

lze, if they realize anything, that the more business that is applied to the running of baseball, the bigger the chances are for returns on money in- vested.
 Connie Mack is placed where he is because he can return the stockhold- CTS dividends and dividends are the things which investors are after these days. If Tom, Dick or Harry, old war horses and heroes of many wonderful contests of bygone days, can no long CT attract crowds or deliver goods they are no longer available as divi- dend paying investments and must be let out.
 It may look like ingratitude on the part of Mack to ruthlessly set adrift these men, but gratitude as business asset does not always return big divi- dends. In organized ball, Charley Comiskey is the only man, perhaps, who can make gratitude pay.-Ex- change.

The Roosevelt party will not be recognized by the old party leaders when it comes to the task of organi- zing the Sixty-fourth congress.

REV. WHEELER. WILL. REMAIN
HERE.

That Rev. Wheeler will not leave
New Ulm in the immediate future is now
an assured fact as State Superintendent
Everett Lesher when appealed to for
a decision telegraphed that under the
conditions as existing in New Ulm he
would be quite satisfied to have Mr..
Wheeler remain where he was so urgently
wanted by his congregation. All
friends of the Wheelers are glad to know
that Mr.. Wheeler's decision to leave
was not Interchangeable and the warmth
of feeling aroused by the likelihood of
losing their well-liked pastor will work
to a quickening Of interest in church
work in local Congregational circles.

LIKES NEW POSITION.

A short time ago the Review told of
the removal of VIM. F. Jahnke from
Hanska to Glenvil, Nebr., to take charge
of newspaper at that point. This week
we are in receipt of letter from 'Bill''
as we know him, telling of his location
and to us it is very interesting as showing
the way things are done in the West
and we give the letter in full here. The
first part Of the letter shows that those
who leave New Ulm are always keenly
alive to the things that work to the
advantage Of the old home place. Every
thing about the letter shows that the
concern for which Mr.. Jahnke is working
is up and coming; as their stationery
announces, "A Live Newspaper For
People Who Are Alive" We believe
''Bill'' has it in him to make good in the
place too. His letter follows herewith:

was Anna Victor, one of the pioneer
women of Brown County, passed away

Eleven children were born to them Of

not spared the hardships of the early
pioneer days and the trying days Of
the Indian Massacre, but she never
lost courage. She was always hopeful
that times would get better and she saw
her hopes realized.
The surviving children are: Math
Arnold and Mrs. Henry Manderfeld of
Milford; John Arnold of Minneapolis;
Mike Arnold of Revere; Pete Arnold of
Revere; Mrs. Jos. Schmitz of jamestown,
N. d., and Mrs. Jake Dewanz and Mrs.

eral.

MUNICIPAL HEATING FAVORED
ON RANGE.

A. J. Mueller, Supt. of the Electric
Light and Water Station returned Mon
day evening from Virginia where he had
attended the third annual convention
of the League of Minnesota Municipali-
ties which was held there Wednesday
and Thursday of last week. He also
examined the central heating plants of
Virginia, Eveleth, Bull and Hibbing.
This he did at the request of the local
committee which has the matter of a
municipal heating plant for New Ulm
under consideration.
Supt. Mueller's report to the COM
mittee will state that without exception
the consumers of heat would not be with
out the convenience and that most of
them would forego the advantage of
piped water rather than piped steam.
The plants at Eveleth and at Virginia
are on a paying basis. This cannot be
said of the other plants. In the opinion
of Supt. Mueller, the management has
a great deal to do with the success of the
heating plants.
In speaking of the convention itself
Mr.. Mueller says that this meeting was
the best ever held in the history of the
League. The attendance was very
large, between $50 and 275 delegates
being present. The attendance from
Southern Minnesota was especially graft
flying. The next convention will be held
at Red Wing, and ]. N. Nicholson of
Austin was elected President.
Practically the entire day Wednesday
was devoted to listening to reports from
the officers and various committees.
There were reports from the Public
Health Committee, COMMITTEE on
Parks, Fairgrounds and City Planning,
"Park Planting for Prairie Towns Com
mittee on Street Paving, Uniform
Reporting and Accounting in Iowa.,
Municipal Accounting" and Municipal
Government and the Citizen.
In the evening Herbert S. Bigelow of
the Public Power League Of Cincinnati
spoke on the Religion of Inspired
Politics.. Papers were read and ad-
dresses delivered Thursday on the
following timely topics: "Minnesota's
Recent Telephone Legislation, ''The
New Order in Public Utility Franchises" /,
Shall municipalities Own Their Public
Utilities?" 'sThe Need of a Constitu.
tional Convention in Minnesota. In
addition there were reports of the EN-
cheering Bureau Of the League of Mime
sofa Municipalities, of the Committee
on Legislation" Of the Question Box
Committee and Of the Auditing Com
mittee.'..
There was an automobile ride over the
Range Thursday afternoon and in the
evening a banquet was rendered the
visiting officials by the City Of Virginia.
