THE WAR ON THE SEAMEN'S
LAW

The Eastern subsidized press
never INDUCED in a more ridicu-
lous contention that when they
claim that the LaFollette Sea-
mans Bill will cause our ship
ping to go TO Japan and other
countries. In effect their claim
is that in order to have mercan
tile marine it is necessary for us
to under-pay seamen, inaugurate
conditions bordering on slavery
and for the people to accept such
conditions as inevitable. Any
one would certainly have to be
sophisticated indeed to take these
threats and representations of
disaster seriously. They have
been repeated so many times i'm
the past, have fallen so laugh
ably short of fulGllment so many
times, that they no longer create
conviction.
The fact that this same class
Of newspapers has never been
concerned with the fact that for
eigners already had the virtual
monopoly of high seas commerce
never before caused any alarm
among them is one of the proofs
that their whine now is nothing
but double-dyed hypocricy.
If the Pacific Mail Company
transfers its flag to that of the
Chinese in order to escape the
workings of the Seamans Bill
there will be no cause for alarm
among those who really wish to
see a large mercantile marine
built up, carrying the American
flag, paying a living wage to all
workmen employed and rapidly
increasing the size of our shin
carrying vessels both i'm numbers
and capacity until we take our
place among the nations of The
world compatible with our size
and Importance. There is only
one way that this can be done anc
that is by the Government build
ing and owning The ships itself
There is no evidence of an in
tcntion of fair play either &c
workmen, the Government or the
people.
Right now, as in the past, oui
captains of industry are adherina
to their rule or ruin attitude anC
it is probably just as we'll in tn,
end that they do. There is nc
middle ground in a fight between
the people and plutocracy in this
country. If they showed a spiri
of compromise it would only de.
lay the day of a just retribution
The people OF this country will
have to wake up some of thesl
days to the fact that a war of fl.
nancial determination is neces
sary against brigands of com
merce and finance. They arr
arrogant, intolerant and sheer
ingly uncOnvinced that they viii
ever be called to account. Unit
the people divorce them complete
ly from any voice in GOvernmen
and wage an aggressive war o
competition against them the nat.
ural and legitimate growth of thu
country will be retarded an,
stihed.-The New Freedom.

there Is one division which American

JOHN M'eRAW HUNTS TALENT
Manager Of New York Giants Draw.
Ing Up Plans and specifications
for Championship Team.

John j. McGraw has assembled two
championship teams since he took
command Of the Giants Just about
thirteen years ago. and he Is now
drawing up plans and specifications
for third. He does not expect to
have 1t next season, but is building
for winner In 1917.
McGraw saw the best team he ever
had lose its punch the year after 1t
won worlds championship. The 1905
Giants, with Matthewson and McGin.
nifty, were so strong In all departments
of the game that they probably could
have beaten out this years field with
out extending themselves.
Within two years McGraw had an.
other team that was good enough to
force the Cubs into post season con.
test to decide the championship. but
1t was not until 1911 that he won
the pennant again. Five years elapsed
before the Giants participated In their
second worlds series.

BILLIARDS AID GOOD HEALTH
No Such Thing as Indigestion With
Man Who Follows Dinner With
Short Game With worries.

Play billiards." says Lord Lonsdale,
III you would enjoy good health, and
there is no such thing as indigestion
for him who follows up hearty
dinner with half an hour with the cue
and worries"
And all this is not hard to under.
stand The digestive processes OF
the body are at their best during a
period of comparative relaxation and
light exercise. No other diversion is
so conducive to such state as a
game of billiards, This is why the
billiard room in the home of the Eng.
lishman always adjoins the dining
room.
1t would appear that Americans
have awakened to this fact. for never
before in the history of this country
has there been such interest In this
game as il being shown at the pres.
ent time.

II Is commonly believed that foot.

there Mr.. Averageman fools himself.
Football is an ancient pastime. The
old Teutons are credited with found.
ing the game by playing with the
bleached skulls of their enemies. Pre-
liminary practice was first heard Of
In Chester, England. where the old
English had sufficiently brutalized the
game to give rise to many adverse
criticisms. fragments Of which have
survived to the present day.
Legend has II that In gG2. during
the Danish invasion of England q
good man of Chester captured Dane
beheaded him and knocked his head
out into the street to furnish sport
for the fellows" The game of kick
ing the head around the city streets
and even outside the walls of the an.
cient Roman.built city grew In favor.
The exercise was INDUCED in when
ever Chester sport could annex d

But eventually the supply of Danish
heads gave out. But the sport had
secured q strong hold on the exercise.
loving Anglo.Saxons and a bale Of
leather called footballe" was substi
tuted.
The game developed into rough
and tumble scrimmage. and the ball
itself would often lie forgotten for
hours while the excited players
chased one another through alleys and
lanes and even into the houses Of the
more respectable citizens as results OF
arguments over the rules. II seems
