FEDERALS RELEASE PLAYERS,

BUFFALO. August 2s-Russell Ford,
leading pitcher of the Federal League In
1914; Ed La Fitte, pitcher: Tex Nc
Donald, outfielder, and Arthur Watson,
catcher, were given their unconditional re-
lease from the Buffalo Federal club to-
day. Ford jumped to the Federals from
the New York Americans, and by the use
of the emery" ball topped the league
twirlers. With the ball barred Ford's
record was unsatisfactory. He was re-
leased earlier III the season, but was re-
signed later.

some degree of responsibility for the condi-
ton that brought about these receivershiPs
rests on the men who have controlled the prop
critics. Over capitalization and stock jobbing
in times of industrial prosperity no doubt have
much to do with the financial difficulties in
which of the companies find them
selves But just as surely, the feeling of cap
ital that the railroads not getting square
deal under present system of regulation.
is a contributing cause to the receiverships
and it must necessarily interfere with plans
for reorganization. 1t is absolutely necessary
to the development and prosperity of this
Western country that the transportation COM
panies be prosperous and able to provide the
additional facilities and efficient service de-
manded by industrial growth In view OF
these facts, it seems that the public should be
taking some steps to protect itself against
railroad baiters'' on the hand, and rail-
road magnates whose attitude toward reason
able regulation is unfair, on the other hand
There is no profit to the people in the joint
product of these two classes, and what is
needed now is not criticism of either class but
rather the application of constructive princi
pies to the situation that each is in some de-
gree responsible for.

K ANSANS who followed the course of the
! expert investigators" who visited the
SuntlOwer State during the 1914 harvest are
not at all surprised at the refusal of ma
lority of the members of the United States
Commission on Industrial Relations to
cept the findings of the investigators" The
Commission, shortly after the half million
dollars appropriated by Congress for its
became available, employed large staff of
investigators. These experts" have ex-
pended much time and more money in in
vestigating industrial conditions, and the &C
ton of the Commission itself in declining to
accept the findings in what is termed 'the
staff report prepared by the experts indi-
Gates that the public is to get little in the
way of practical results from the funds used
in this connection. Kansas was one of the
first places visited by the experts" Sew
eral of them came into the state to invest-
gate the conditions under which men work
here during the harvest season. Their re-
port was a source of amusement to every
Kansan who examined it, because of its find
ing that harvest hands in Kansas are badly
housed and poorly fed. One portion of the
report dealt with complaints made at Colby
at time fixed, that several hundred men
were there for whom there was no work
At that particular time farmers at Colby
were clamoring for men, and the idle men
at Colby were Industrial Workers of the
World, who were looking for opportunity
to stir up discord rather than for jobs. This
investigator talked to no at Colby ex-
cept the Il. w. VS." and in his report ex-
h1b1ted striking ignorance of the most sim
pie things connected with the grain growing
industry. So it is not at all surprising that
the Commission itself has found the report
of such investigators to be unsafe as a
basis for recommendations to Congress-
The trouble is that the Commission was un-
fortunate in its selection of men to represent
it. 1t needed fair-minded and open-minded
men, Instead, 1t seems to have selected rad
icals, who sought support for preconceived

THE disposition of many people. in these
days of 'the high cost of living to indict
middlemen'' a class who levy arbitrary
and heavy tribute food stuffs passing to
the producer from the consumer is rather
senslbly rebuked in recent bulletin of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture 1t points
out the habit of the public to pay atten-
ton to the increased cost of food products
rather than to service rendered to both the
producer and the consumer, making it plain
that economic laws would not long permit
the existence of a marketing agency which
solely parasite. The bulletin says in
part: Several important factors have con
tributed to the establishment of many mid
dlemen necessary agents N the present sys-
tenn of marketing. Production during the last
decade has increased greatly, and improved
methods and facilities for handling the in
crease have been introduced. Keeping pace
with increased production has come the de-
mand of consumers for more elaborate and
efficient service Seldom is the fact consid-
cred that service become very expensive
luxury. With the widening of the distance
between the city and the of its fruit
and vegetable supplies there has arisen the
necessity for special agencies to meet the
changed conditions. The present dstributive
machinery, with all its strong points and its
weaknesses, has been created of necessity, and
it has weathered the storm of much adverse
criticism Every part of the country is now
enjoying the perishable products of the most
remote districts. Any readjustment of pres
ent market practices must be based upon the
fact that some agency must continue to per-
form the functions of the present-day mid
dleman. The problems involved in handling
goods through large market differ greatly
from those of production. Usually one man
or one firm can not handle both production
and distribution and succeed at both The
vast volume of business transacted at large
market centers makes necessary some special
agencies which can devote all their energies
10 distribution. Especially does the machin-
cry for efficient marketing become necessary
when perishable goods are to be handled.
Commodities of this sort must be moved rap
idly, must be distributed evenly, and from
their very nature permit of no weakness in
distribl;tive machinery, if they are to be sold
at a profit

N the long run, geography has played this
country false, in the opinion of Captain
NJ B. Stewart of the U. S. army, who has
recently written very interesting article con-
corning the necessity for Strengthening the
national defense. Captain Stewart says
For time it did give us comparative isola-
ton and security. Today it gives nothing
except a coast line such as no other nation on
earth is called upon to consider and defend

and breadth which is equal to either ocean
when considered in the light of military trans
portation. Moreover, another thing has con-
tr1buted to wipe out completely the one-t1me
snugness of our geographical security. We
have allowed ourselves to be drawn into the
game of being world power We have bur-
dened ourselves with scattered outposts ex-
tending over half of the globe. The Phil
ippine Islands, Guam Hawaii, Alaska, Pan
anna and Porto Rico responsibilities which
have robbed our geographical security OF the
little substance which remained to it, and
they responsibilities in the gravest sense
of the word. They are heavy responsibilities,
in which our interests are not alone concerned
The interests of the world are conferred about
Panama. The interests of powerful nations
conferred in Pacific possessions. We
have created these responsibilities and we must
shoulder them whether we will or no. These
stubborn facts upon which the possibility
the ACCESSIBILITY of the has bearing
Politically, isolation is equally mythical
it is geographically. True, have kept
ourselves clear of alliances to entangle us in
the chickering's of our world neighbors. What
is perhaps a still greater blessing, we have
none of the art of diplomacy it is practiced
abroad On the other hand, do have
ever-increasing volume of commercial interests
which is equally potent force of trouble
These interests must inevitably continue to
increase. In spite of our pride in our coun-
try it is today, must admit, that hgura-
lively, it is still in short skirts. We cannot
hope to think of ourselves ready for robes
of maturity until we have struck a truer bal
ance between resources and production, be-
tween men and acres. Until that time shall
come, interests must increase. 1t is hard
to believe that the people of the United States
will ever consent to see these interests stop
short of their maximum growth To insure
this end, we have two courses open to us
Either may hedge interests and our
foreign relations about by barrier of treaty
stipulations, or we may prepare to take off
our coats and stand guard over them. 1t is
not hard to predict the course most to the
liking of the average American He rightly
prefers to do business a peaceful basis, but
he is not afraid to fight when he finds himself
being imposed upon. However, he cannot
hope to make much of a fight unless he keeps
in reasonable training
