UMPIRE's NOVEL SUGGESTION.
 A NOVEL suggestion, offered with A the idea of increasing the interest in baseball, is advanced by a well known umpire, who has studied the national sport in all it's angles. He proposes. to move the bleachers nearer to the diamond and double the seating capacity of a majority of these stands in the big league parks. According to this authority, the secret of baseball popularity lies in the enthusiasm of tho bleacherite. He says:
 Modern baseball has crowded the b1eacher fan to the far corners of the lot. He is so far removed from t1e play that he has lost his intimate ac- quaintance with the player, and the game has suffered as a result In the old days he was the life of the game He was within speaking distance o1 both the inf1eld and outfeld players and never failed to speak out his optn- ion of plays, both good and bad Ills comments keyed the players to Ehaig best efforts, and they never sl1iriSeo lu their work. for they knew that the bleacherite would not spare their Feel ings if he thought that they were moi trying their hardest The bleacher fan carried his enthusiasm with hiIn tyyen- ty-four hours a day and was a con- stant boomer for tbe game and 8 spur for the player Baseball needs more fans Of this type. out. littie bexes a quarter Of a mile away are not golpz to develop this class.'

 The Phillies are popular champions, because they have not -''swelled. up'. over their successes. Moran has in- sisted on his men playing fair with the public, and there have been no evil dences of ''exaggerated ego'' among the PhiIIies. This is in sharp contrast to the conduct of the Braves a year ago. after it was assured that they would be in the worlds series.

United States The financial deficit Of the ad-
ministration promises to attain eyen greater
proportions, forcing the enactment Of legislation
to rehabilitate the treasury. The principal meas
ures proposed according to press dispatches, are:
/. Enactment Of . federal Inheritance tax
law under which not less than $50. 100000 an
nually could be raised.
2. Reduction Of the exemption and increase Of
the income tax to produce IN additional
SIS, 100000.
8. Issuance of bonds to provide for the in
creased cost of the army and navy, now estimat-
ed at $50, 100000 for the next fiscal year.
4. Re-enactment Of the war excise tax law
and the addition Of other articles, such checks
and possibly war munitions, 50 as to produce
$50 OOO, 900 from this source.
s. Revision of the tariff upward by suspend
ing the free listing Of sugar and by imposing a
duty on wool, so as to add $4,000 900 to the
customs revenue annually.
Increased revenue is the perplexing problem
before the Wilson administration. The cessation
Of commerce with many European countries on
account of the war has been q serious blow to the
United States. The effects Of the struggle have
hit Uncle Sans revenue as hard as they struck
business generally throughout the country. Con-
gress will have an important problem to solve
when it takes up this question.

Trying to Freeze Out Mckinley

The ban Of the city administration, it is ap-
parent, has fallen upon George Mckinley, one OF
the most efficient and conscientious public serv-
ants this city ever had, a $72O year man now
trying, to the best of his ability, to hold down
three positions-inspector of weights and meas
ures, marketmaster and pure food inspector for
the city of Richmond.
The work Of inspecting food supply establish
ments has just been forced upon him, and the
purpose behind this action is glaringly apparent
despite the clumsy effort to shield it from pub
lie view.
The city administration, or to be more specif-
ic, the main cogs in the administration, Mayor
Robbins and City Health Officer Smelser, are at
tempting to freeze Mckinley out of the public
service.
Why?
Because they imagine that he was responsible
for the information upon which was based the
recent exposition of the shockingly inefficient
administration of the office of Dairy Inspector,
an exposition that Infatuated the mayor and the
health officer because it revealed to the public
that they had tolerated the conditions brought
to light.
AS the Palladium was primarily responsible
for having turned the spotlight upon Dairy In
spector Glenn, it feels duty bound to make the
declaration that Mr.. Mckinley was not the source
,of the information it published in reference to
DIR. Glenn. It's informants were dairymen and
dairy products dealers.
But the fact remains that the mayor and his
health officer are bent upon Furnishing Mckinley,
one of the few competent men elevated to public
office by Mr.. Robbins; that they are determined
to drive him out Of the public service by heaping
upon his shoulders more duties than any one man
could be expected to perform satisfactorily.
Mckinley has won the esteem Of his fellow
citizens by his intelligent and indefatigable devo-
ton to the original duties of his office, the super
vision Of the markets and the inspection of
weights and measures. He has been the true
friend Of the buying public, the enemy Of price
juggling gardeners and short weight dealers.
Such being the Mayor Robbins and
Health Officer Smelser, wise in the lore Of poll
tics, realize how undiplomatic it would be for
them to demand McKinleys resignation. They
prefer to drive him out Of office by unfair treat
ment.

Solutions for Divorce

That the divorce evil is one of the besetting
sins of Wayne county is q fact which has made
this community notorious over the state. The
number Of DEGREES severing matrimonial ties en-
tered on the circuit court records is an alarming
ly large one and the situation is aggravated by
the steadily increasing number. All sorts Of
remedies have been tried by the circuit court
Judge, but none Of them has proved successful.
Common Pleas Judge Estep of Cleveland, who
has tried more than 425 divorce trials since Sept.
/, has offered the following rules to help married
people keep away from the courts:
l. Husband, kiss your wife good-by in the
morning and say how do you do at night.
g. Wife, don't interrupt your husband while
he is reading the paper or enjoying some hobby.
g. Husband and wife, teach your eyes to see
more virtues and fewer faults.
H. Husband, don't tell your wife you are going
to lodge when you are going to play poker.
s. Wife, don't nag your husband
g. Finally, prospective husbands and wives,
don't get married until you have known each
other year.
Judge Estep has mentioned some of the sup
Elementary causes that make for the divorce
habit but why not go deeper and instead Of men
tioning the causes Of divorce, give some positive
remedial suggestions. Fundamentally, it strikes
us, divorce in ninetenths of the cases arises from
a quick-born dissatisfaction with conditions
Before persons are married they are said Ito
be in love- Taking this as basis, why should
not the couple preserve this love and "be in love-
through prosperity and adversely, through bat
tie and victory, through sunshine and storm
Why should not the disbursements they en-
counter be the very means through which the
manhood and the womanhood of the couple
grows, Develops and natures into the perfection
which the estate of marriage presupposes? Let
the married couple battle against the evils of
nagging, criticising, and faultfinding in them
selves, fight together like brothers in arms, and
cultivate an attitude of mind that enables them
to overlook the petty and sordid, the present
hardship and trials, and see the things that are
noble, generous and kind.
It is worth while in passing to note that
among those denominations in which the sacra-
mental nature Of marriage is taught, divorces are
few and far between. The sanctity and nobility
of marriage is impressed upon these persons and
they refrain from entering into the estate with
haste and carelessness. Their ethical conscious
ness is potent factor in developing a mental
attitude after they are married that scorns a
trifling excuse for divorce and at the same time
is prompting element in making them preserve
and conserve the love they entertained for each
other before marriage. .. III

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

LOUISVILLE. May 10-kentucky is
in the throes of political campaign
which is fraught with consequences of
far-reaching Importance to the state
and seriously threatens the domina-
tion of the democratic party One of
the possibilities of the outcome. which.
indeed, is now regarded by far-sighted
democrats and republicans as prob
ability. is the recapture of the state by
the republicans and the election of a
republican governor next November.
Democrats are profoundly concerned
over the outlook. with its menacing
contingencies, and with that feeling is
mingled a sentiment of resentment that
the party snould be placed in jeopardy
and the state threatened with a politi
cal revolution a year in advance of the
presidential and congressional cleo
tions. Republicans are delighted at the
state of affairs, present and prospec-
tive, especially prospective.
What to the democrats was as a bolt
from the blue is to the republicans as
mamma from heaven, the bringing
about of the situation in which the
dominant party of the state now finds
itself To an on1ooker il is odds on
that the republicans stand to gain ma
terial advantage from the plight of
their adversaries.
