Kansas City Star: This is the day
that sees the kids-boys especially
having the time of tlioi:. Hves getting
back to school And this is the day
that sees good, harness broke men
revamping the over-worked fable that
only sissy boys like school.
The boys, the real boy boys. have
got about all the fun there is out q,
vacation. They've got all frazzled out
trying to have good time on their
own hook. They're tired to death OF
their own little neighborhood buncA.
They've wrangled together for most
of the end of the summer. School
means getting bigger gang together.
It means new pair Of shoes, maybe.
And don't believe that that Is not a
fine feeling to a poy-to haye~a newer
pair of shoes than some other kid.
Just why the wrong idea fingers
with the good. quiet, harness broke
men is a question There is a theory
that they like to picture themselves
In youth as devilish kids. Probably
they weren't. But 1t is a pleasant, II
fanciful, "reminiscences.
It is a contrast to the mice, quia t
time" Of their own lives. Their IAN
cied revolt Of boys at the thought OF
school Is the reflective action OF ther
own minds at their own Imprisonment.
They have those Whittier lines IN
mind: BLESSINGS on thee, little man,

Davenport; Democrat: The memory
of only the older generation OF base
bali fans will be stirred by the death
of A. g. spalding. 1t was back in the
early 70's that his name began to ng-
ure in the baseball reports. Those
we're the days Of straightrarm pitch
ing. before anyone had discovered the
curved ball, or imagined that batters
would some day be trying to hit
curves. Ball players weren't even
paid salaries, then. AS Spalding tells
it in his "reminiscences, they secured
a business position for player and
he played ball as a pastime. When
the Nationals wanted him at Washing
tor he was offered clerkship in the
treasury department. Instead, he &C
c-pted an offer in Chicago and went
to work for a firm of grocers. When
the grocers failed he went back to
Rockford.
/ The first year OF the National
league, IN '76, Spalding came back to
Chicago, to join the club there and
become its most famous pitcher. He
made 81 COO the first year, from sal
I arg of $1,000 and percentage. But
his snorting goods house. which he
established later, made him more, and
kept his name before the public FOL
nearly half a century.

Speaking Of politics.

Topeka Capital: Democrats who
have little else to encourage them
over presidential prospects point out
and attempt to take comfort in the
fact that thus far no one stands out
conspicuously for the republican pres
idential nomination. One would almost
suppose from these comments that the
democrats cherished the belief-and so
fatuous are they in many of their be-
liefs that it is not an absurdity to
think so-that the election would go
almost by default next year, that it is
all over but the shouting for Wilson.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth The democratic party has for
many years been a one-man party. 1t
was one-man party during Cleve-
lands two administrations: it was a
one.man party when it went down to
repeated defeats behind Bryan. 1t is
one-man party now with Wilson, and
will remain SO, unless Bryan de
clines to remain dead and starts an

On the contrary, has never been a one

CHOLERA.

The United States public healtn
service has collected all available IN
formation regarding health conditions
in foreign ports in order that need
less restrictions shall not be imposed
upon vessels, and that when necessary
active measures may be taken. In
review of the world distribution OF
cholera. yellow fever, plague. and
tvphus fever, just issued by the Unit
ed States public health service. ft Is
pointed out that during the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1915, cholera was pres
ent in Austria-Hungary, Ceylon, China,
Egypt. Dutch East Indies, India, tho
Philippine Islands. Russia, the Straits
Settlements, the Balkan territory, Ger
many and Indo-China. The amount OF
cholera reported in Russia during the
six months ended December %, 1914.
and the absence this year of reports
from that country, save from Petro-
grad during the six months following,
indicates that the disease has been
more or less widely prevalent there.
During the six months ended June 70,
1915. cholera was reported to be pres
| ent in the prison camps In Germany
! in twenty-three localities, in Silestia
| and in Brandenburg, Posen, and
Zirka. in Germany. In all probability
these cases were traceable to the seat
of war in the east. The new infec
tior in the Balkan territory may have
4 originated from the constant infection
! of Austria Hungary, or from Turkey
where cholera was reported prevalen
| during 1914 and 1915. From the Bal
kan territory, cholera has been carries
into Italy, the disease being reporte'
recently in and near Venice and Leg
horn. AS result. quarantine officer
have been warned to watch trave
!, from the Creek, Italian and Hollan
ports with view to the detection c
: active cases of cholera and of choler
carriers. With the cessation of no:

cation that the work and responsible
, ties of the quarantine system of tn
United States public health servic
will be increased greatly.

With charming naivete the treasury
department confesses that the income
tax from individuals was but $40 ,OOO.-
600 below that estimated by the
trainers OF the income tax law. The
trainers estimated $50 ,OGN, 600 for 1915.
from this source, and S41, 100000 was
collected A difference of only fifty
per cent between estimate and return
IS pretty close figuring for some finan-
ciers, and OF course the loss is blamed
to the war in Europe.

BY maintaining a blockade, Great
Britain has compelled Germany to sup.
ply her own needs and has prevented
her from spending money abroad. Now
British statesmen are beginning to
question the wisdom of that policy and
argue that it would injure Germany
more if she were permitted to spend
money abroad, thus depicting her own
monetary resources. So far as the
relative interests of Great Britain
and Germany are concerned, the dis
