Cleveland Alexander won his game
from the Boston Red Sox today, but
the victory was far from being the
impressive one the Philadelphia Nat

breaks Of the game were with the
star pitcher of the National League,
and had to be given to him the
honor of winning the first world S
series contest in which he has parti-
cipated.

usual a. ever seen on ball field the
FhilliCs won. , t. !.
They made these three runs on five
of the fiukiest hits the game has ever
known, a Texas Lacquer which de-
veloped into the first run OF the
series being the only safe ball driven
out of the diamond by Phiiadel-
phia. 1t had been predicted the short
outfield would prove the winning fac
tor for the Phillies in their own lit
tie park out on Broad street, but
contrary to all expectations it was
the infield, wet, and soft from many
hours rain, that turned tho tide in
their favor.
1t was a mediocre game. the first
OF the big series. for despite the few
errors OF commission there were
several of omission. and two or three

tria did not want Italy to enter
the war against them and that
those nations have left nothing
undone to keep Italy pacified.
AS to the moral aspect OF
Italy's plunge into the war
opinions will differ. Prior to
the war Italy was the ally of
Germany and Austria, pledged
to aid those nations if they
should be attacked. When the
war broke Italy refused to join
forces with Germany and Aus
tria on the plea Germany was
not attacked, but was the ag-
gressor in the fight. Instead of
fighting side by side with her
former partners Italy now turns
her guns against them. In the
German-Austrian view this is
an act of base treachery; to the
allies and their supporters way

lutely right and manifests con-
science and courage of high or
der. In war the heroic work
for country, king and God is
always by those who slay in be-

Those who slay for the other
side whoever they may be are

is sound, and the operations of
the new Federal reserve sys-
TEN are proving a potent factor
in rebuilding confidence.
Money is easy, and those in
good credit have no difficulty
in securing all reasonable ac-
commodation. Bank clearings

THE PORTLAND CUCKOO

~ ORTLANDERS are soon to
- vote upon whether or not
. that city shall follow the
lead of Pendleton and other
progressive towns in providing
meters for all waterusers and
charging patrons in accordance
with the amount of water they
use.
The meter plan is the only
sane, businesslike manner of
adjusting water charges and it
is inevitable Portland will ad-
opt the plan, now or at some
time in the future.
But as usual the Oregonian
opposes this improvement with
much vehemence. If meters
are installed all the heavy wa
terusers in Portland will have
to pay what they should for
water and it may be possible
to lower rates to the ordinary
user. Therefore the plan is
socialistic. Anything is social
istic that aims to set up justice
instead of special favors to a
few.
But five, 10 or Is years from
now when the meter plan is in
full use in Portland the Ore
gonian will be strong for
meters. 1t is for a reform after
it has found that sarcasm, ridi-
cule and Misrepresentation
could not prevent its adoption.
1t does not believe the old
guard should die but never

NOT WELL DISTRIBUTED

~ HE estimated wealth OF
VI the country increased
from $43,642, 100000 in
1880 to $88,517,OO in
1900, or by a trifle over 100 per
cent in 20 years. The Census
Bureau now gives out an esti-
mate of S187,739, 100000 as of
1912, which shows an increase
of 112 per cent in only a dozen
years.
Relatively to population, the
nations increase in wealth is
even more striking. 1t amount
ed to $870 per capita in 1880
and to $1,165 in 1900, or an
increase of 33 per cent in
twenty years. 1t now (1912)
amounts to 81, 1866, or an in
crease in twenty years of 70
per cent. This is a rate which
would much more than double
the per capita wealth in twen-
ty years, instead of by only a
third.-New York World.
But the figures indicate moth
ing because they do not show
distribution. 1t profits little to
the nation if its wealth increas-
es when the increased wealth
goes to those who do not need
it and not to those who are in
want. While the total wealth
is much greater now than in
1880 it is a grave question if
the country was not in a more
wholesome condition then. 1t
is better to have a lot of peo-
pie in moderate circumstances
than to have a few people i'm

mainder extremely poor.
