and the like. Ii one Is to be punished
the Others ought to he; in fact. there IS
almost no limit To the extent enforcement
might be carried"
The Herald contends that so long as
these ancient and out-worn statutes are
permitted to remain on the lawbooks Of
the state, Just SO long must the sworn Off
GERS Of the law enforce them. 1t Is never
tacless true that q serious attempt to on
force the Sunday laws would be Derhape
the most unpopular single act that any
eImont officer could attempt.
The argument vouchsafed by the inter
estS IN Bellows Falls which stood back of
the recent prosecution of baseball man
ager for breaking the Sunday law Is that
the state must draw the line somewhere
or the ermont Sunday viii be torn to
shreds
Neither reason, logic nor law appears in
TINS argument. 1t puts its proponents in
tins proposition -
They favor enforcing the law against
against baseball and not against motoring:
IheE propose to permit the breaking of
the law by garages, livery stables and drug
stores but not by ball players;
They put baseball players in one class
and golf players III another:
They put premium on the breaking of
all law by winlling at the breaking Of one.
They favor the minority who own mo-
tot-cars and play golf and deprive the
majority, VINO love baseball, of a whole
some, manly. improving sport
Until these sanity authorities and in
terests enforce the Sunday laws in toto
they write themselves down as hypocrtes.

HELPING PORTO RICE

y real step forward has been made
III Porto Rico by the passage of tho
new homestead law, opening 10000
acres Of old Spanish crown lands to
the people. 1t is a step made imperative
by the rapid growth of the island in
population. The first Amerisan cen
sus, that Of 1905, showed 100000; a
counting just completed shows last
coo which is an increase of 100000
since 1910 alone. The little possession
now has $50 people to the square mile
or slightly more than New Jersey; and
the emigration is negligible.
The coming of the American dao has
bought the same impetus to Port,
Rico that it has brought to the PEiiu-
pines, Alaska, the Hawaii and every
where else it touches. Porto Rico
needed moro small trecholdera OF land
The new homestead law meets this
want. 1t means the cultivation Of
greater unites OF acreage
The government has steadily at
tempted to wipe out pcouage, or any
analogous condition, and it is to be
wished that it could supplement rural
credit measures with the offer of Iarg-
err areas of homestead land than arc
available The growing density of pop-
nlation IN Porto Rico suggests that
only the development Of manufacture
ing can avert or soften many acute So
eial problems.

CLARENDON GUESTS SAW
BROOKLYN SUPERBAS WIN

A large number of Clarendon guests
were at Ebbets field yesterday and
saw the Brooklyn Superbas defeat
the Philadelphia Americans in a dis
tressing onesided match. The score
at the finish was 1877 in favor of the
Brooklyn boys.
The game had been pretty we'll ad-
yertised ever since the schedule was
first announced and with ideal
weather to help matters along, the
largest crowd of fans" that ever
gathered on Ebbets' field was in at
tendance.
The Superbas took the lead in the
first inning and easily held it until
the finish. That there were some
regular baseball enthusiasts on the
bleachers could readily be deteced
by the various arguments that ensued
between friends of the opposing
teams. One Brooklyn "rooter" said
Clarendon Ormond put up better
game against the Superbas than the
visitors. This statement was quick
ly offset by remark from a Phila-
delphia gentleman, that the Athle-
tics would make Brooklyn look as
like Stetson University in the hands
of the Superbas, before the end OF
the engagement. The argument was
finally settled, as most baseball diff
ferences are, by both men betting
dollar on the result Of the next game.

Chicago, April 15.-Acute scarcity Of
wheat reserves predicted for the near
future had a bullsh effect to-day on
the wheat market here, but rural hold

disappeared. There was an unsettled

Buying of wheat started with rush,
influenced to some extent by cable ad-
vices, especially word that estimates
of the exportable surplus Of India had
been reduced TO 100000 bushels,
against previous estimates of 100000
600 bushels. Later the bull side was
favored by notice that export clear
ances from the United States for the
last twentv-four hours totalled 1,100,-
600 bushels and that Europeans had
purchased at the seaboard to-day $780,
600 bushels additional. Moreover, as
sertions were current that fully 800O,-
600 bushels of spring wheat had been
sold TO leave Duluth as soon as posi-
bic after the opening of the Great
Lakes navigation season, beginning at
midnight tonight.
Caution began TO manifest itself on
the other hand among the bulls to-
day after announcements were made
that sales of wheat TO 90 20 store here

said that 4 number Of Chicago houses
