A HARD BLOW AT CANDIDATES

Reading, Pa.-What is the country coming to- or rather going to, when the great state of Pennsylvania strikes a deadly blow at one of it's chief in- dustries-the business of running for office. The word has gone forth from the state capital that candidates must contenti themselves with sticking to the back roads hereafter. The latter re comparatively little travelled and so cards placed there do the candi dates very little good. Cards posted along state highways arc claSSed as advertising and are forbidden by a new law passed last spring and now in force.
 The agitation against the cards was really begun by motorists. Very few road officials knew of the new law, but the motorists clubs, which had the law passed. know all about the possibilities. The cards are fastened with sharp pointed tacks. When winds and storms occur many cards are torn down and with them often falls the tack, point upward, on the highways. Many a tire, rolling forth in pomp, puffed up and full of air. loseth it's substance when pierced by the humble tack
 Township supervisors throughout the state have been ordered to re- move cards already up and to prevent others from being posted under pen atty of law. k..sl ]. 4

HARTSEL IS OUT

Fred CTOpsy) Hartsel, veteran out fielder, has bidden adieu to baseball te has returned to his home in Toledo after turning in his Fort Wayne, Cen tral league, uniform and announcing that his diamond career was at an end. Hartsel began playing profess sional ball in 1897, passing in turn through the minor. major. and back to the minor leagues again during his twenty years of baseball. His best game was played when a member of the Chicago Nationals and the Phila- delphia Athletics. For ten years he was member of the Athletics under Connie Mack. playing in the Worlds series of 1905 and 1910.

groups of powers. The magnificent success of the loans floated in Ger many and Austro- Hungary compared favorably with the financial opera tions of their enemies. France has proved wholly unprepared for the heavy financial burden which she has undertaken, and the French middle classes have shown no signs of q willingness to give up their savings for war bonds of doubtful value.
 In Italy the war loan has been a splendid failure, or, use the Italian word, a fiasco
 Russia finds itself in a most dis dressing financial condition Rus sian paper money is subject to a dis count of forty per cent, and a Rus sian loan is practically an impossi- bility.
 Great Britain's financial resources however great, are not inexhaustible and the consequences of the terrific strain already are being felt in the United Kingdom. England will be unable to continue indefinitely in her role of banker to the Allies Despite the announcements of the success of the 41a per cent British loan by news
 
 apparent that transaction has proved a failure. Considerable depreciation is shown in the value of stocks rated at many billions of dollars, now forced to 3 and 31a per cent basis under the depressing effects of the conversion of British consols from 212 to 412 per cent. Indications are not lacking that Great Britain's wealth will be exhausted if the war lasts another year-and Kitchener's fanciful prediction is that it will last considerably longer than that
 To sum up the situation, it can be asserted confidently that the posi- tion of Austria Hungary and Ger many is. most encouraging from a mi itary, economic and financial point of view. These countries have suf fered from the war, but their enemies have suffered far more than they. The second year of the conflict has begun under the most promising auspices for the Allies of Central Europe.

 The continued retirement of the Rus sian armies seems to have little, if any, influence on the situation, the opinion being expressed by military critics that a victory for the entente allies in the Dardanelles would more than offset this So far as the near east is concerned and the Franco British forces are in creasing their efforts to force the straits.
 There is little change in Poland and the Baltic provinces. A big battle is being fought along the Wilma railway and the River Niemen. This, however, is of secondary Importance ss the movements against Brest-Litovsk. The Austro- German forces are across the rivers and the roads both north and south of this fortress, which is invest ed on three sides and curiosity is evinced whether Nicholas intends to defend it or fall further Rack. For the moment he is resisting the Austro- German advance. but this may be only with the rear guards which have been detailed to inflict as much loss as pos sible to the invaders and delay their progress
 Bivelfness prevailed at some points on the western front but the engage ments have been of minor importance. The French claim to have repulsed the German attacks in Artois and the Vos- ges. The Italians report slight prog ress along all their fronts.

PITCHER SHERROD SMITH
 LOOKS FOR TELEPHONE

While Sherrod Smith was beat ing Chicago recently, some of the old stories relative to the eccentric heaver were recalled by scribe who was with the Pirates when Smith was tried out. On tEe first railroad night trip smith insisted on a down" berth, IS he was liable to fall out of a high one up" In the middle of the night Hack Gih- son woke Smith up and told him he wGs wanted on the long distance telephone. Must be something wrong down in mah home in Ala bama." said Smith, as he hustled out of the upper berth. The train was going about sixty miles an hour. After ten minutes of fruit less search for the telephone, Smith realized he was the butt of the joke and crawleG back into bed, threat ening dire vengeance on Gibby. Some great stories gre told of the unsophistication of Smith when he first got into tne big show.

THESE FEDS ARE NO "PIKERS"

Just about the gamest lot of sports men ever known in baseball are these Federal league club owners.
 Back in 1913 they waded in to fight the great intrenched monopoly known as Organized Ball-without players organization, any great amount of money or experience They lost hea- willy and were looked upon as a joke by the old timers. Last year the league expanded and made Organized Ball sit up and take notice with vengeance.
 Still further expansion came this year with better baseball and better prospects, and much heavier financial backing. Now comes the positive an nOuncement that the Feds will be in New York city next season and have d war fund of one million dollars And. as we happen to know, this is no idle boast.
 Most of the clubs are still losing money. some of them big money, but, as the handsome and debonair Presi- dent Gilmore remarks, what do they care if the clubs lose S25,0 apiece every year. Most of the clubs are backed by men of millions, for whom the losses are mere bagatelles and who purpose to win out no matter what the cost. Unfortunately. the Baltimore club owners are not so rich as some of the others.
 No "pikers'-believe us-are these Federal league magnates. Keep your eyes OH them next season. Baltimore is lucky. indeed, to bo on such a cir cult. It is a major league circuit. all right and it's constantly growing Baltintore Evening Sun.

SUPERVISORS STRONG
 FOR UNIFORM COSTS

The supervisors of Cochise and Pima counties are strongly in favor of adopt ing the system of uniform cost state ments and the reference of all road claims to the county engineers, accord ing to E. P Adams of the state en- gineering department who has just re- turned from trip to Cochise and Pima counties.
 The matter of uniform cost reports was one of the measures recommended at the recent conference of highway engineers at Flagstaff, and an effort will be made to have it adopted by ev- cry county in the state. While in the south, Adams visited the guard camp at Tombstone Canyon, where sixty prisoners are cutting road four miles through the solid rock. He reports the work there progressing rapidly.

The 19-inning game between the Fsirbury and York teams of the Ne hraskan state league, won by a home run drive over the fence just twenty four hours before the league disbanded will hardly be cited as a brief by those who doubt the honesty of base ball.

Higher criticism is a modern SCI

THE first real value Of higher criti-

The third benefit is that the bible is
