somebody Had 10 Make the Firbt

TNHE world does not jeer long at man
i with red blood in his veins and spine in
his back There are few men in sport with
the nerve to do what Connie Mack did;
there are still fewer with the capacity TO do
what he proposes.
Lack of respect for authority is one of the
major faults of the American people 1t
manifests itself in government, in the church,
IN business and in sport. Occasionally n real
man rises UP and fights back Such man
has been needed for long time in baseball:
a man who would re-establlsh discipline at
any cost, man ready to stake everything
on maintaining authority.
The Federal League had wrecked the spirit
of Mack's club by offering its members
fabulous salaries Somebody was forced to
lead the way in preventing the ruin of base
ball" said Connie Mack, in the remarkable
story given by him to the EVENING LEDGER.
The crisis produces the leader.
1t is little hard on the fans to be de-
prived Of championship team at the very
height OF its power, but few who have
guided the situation doubt the ability Of
Connie Mack to build a new machine that
will make baseball history. Already he has
reached into the nowhere and brought forth
players of rare ability. He has others on the
way He does not have to buy men, he has
the art of developing them.
The languorous play of last year in all the
leagues was a terrible blow to baseball 1t
may be that Connie Macks sturdness is re-
sponslble in some degree for the better spirit
evinced so far this season But whether
that Is so or not, one thing is certain and
that is that the Mexicanization of the game
had to be stopped, and nothing was so likely
70 stop it the dramatic and audaclous
course pursued by Connie Mack

Councils and Mayor in Double Harness

THE mistake of too many American cities
i bent on cleaning up their political life is
to concentrate their fight the single office
of Mayor, while the gang sneaks in at the
back door Of City Councils. The man who is
head of the city government must be un-
bossed eager for the public good it is i'm
perative 70 keep the office clean But 1t Is
just as imperative to have an honest, ener-
getic, public-spirited legislative body
The white-haired old man in the City Hall
saved the people of Philadelphia $4,000, 900
that would otherwise have seeped out in
wastage or drained into the fat pockets of
politician-contractors. And while the Mayor
did this, what was Councils doing? Was it
playing It's equal part in making Philadel-
phia the best governed city in America? on
the contrary, It was hindering his good work
at every step; picking bill after bill: passing
Municipal Court grabs; trying to knife the
Taylor transit plan; corrupting and distort-
ing every good measure the administration
favored.
1t is up to the voter to see that Philadel-
phia gets Councils next fall fit to stand
beside another Mayor OF Mr. Blankenburg's
calibre.

In order 70 accommodate the thousands of -rhool exhibits. it was necessary to place the culinary department in a building by itself.
 The famous Kiltie band made it's first appearance at the fair grounds followed hy concert at the Elks opera house.
 Winslow with the Winslow high school band of 30 pieces, arrived on a special train and will participate in all the fair activities. Mohave.

Believe Hunt Has Lost Ground Demos Again Talking Over Candidates

Out of a great mass of conflicting reports and rumors, regarding pros pective democratic activities in prep aration for the race for state offices next year. the impression seems to be gaining ground hereabout, that Governor Hunt will find it increas- -ingly difficult to swing a nomination in case Wiley Jones, present attorney general, concludes to go into the lists against him. For a time,
 prominent democrats-even those openly opposed to the administra- ; -tion.-believed that the governors position would be materially strengthened by the furious outbursts against him, for his conduct of the states affairs in connection with the copper strike in the Greenlee district. Now. however, the, same prominent democrats are permitting themselves to believe that while the governor may have gained a small measure of popularity among the not over F per cent of voters among the strikers he has lost more than enough to

I urged that inasmuch as the offenses charged against Miss Cavell were long since accomplished and she had been in prison some weeks, the de- lay in carrying out the sentence could entail no damage to the German cause. I even went so far as to point out the fearful effect of a summary execution of this sort upon public opinion, here and abroad and although I had no au- thoTity for doing so, l called attention

'offset this gain, among other citi- Zens
 The rumor persisted ali Iast week that Jones had said he would not oppose the governor for the nOmina- ton. This has been vigorously de- nied by friends of Jones, in his absence in Washington, where he is engaged in arguing the so per cent law case before the supreme court. Governor Hunt, on the other hand has been quoted as saying that if Jones runs, he will enter the lists against the states prosecutor with even more relish than he would, if Jones did not run.
 That the entrance of Frank ]. Duffy. state democratic central com mittee chairman, into the race, will mean a divided Hunt support, and q less hard won victory for Jones, is the statement of one or two well Versed derios. Duffy's candidacy has been shelved in much of the private discussion of battle lines lately. but as Jim Lavin says of
