Play Ball!

There is why the democratic fac tions should not play ball The audience is in the grand stand and the beachers and the factions in the field The administration element is at the bat. Governor Hunt stands at the plate with the willow, nervously motion, and George Olney stands the mound, winding up now, and digging his heels inte the ground for greater leverage. Play ball
 The Phoenix democratic club has been organized as a band of rooters. but for whom shall they root? That depends. If Eastman Hunt shows signs of fan ming out if Pitcher Olney manifests lack of or speed will take their and the skies will be with shouts of approval of the seeming winner. The waiting. to say, receptive mood. Play ball.
 But how about the grand stand and the bleachers? There are signs trouble there, for the and out the admnistrationists and the anti admin istratonists and apparently equally divided. Put 'em out" yels an out" Put them all out from the governor down to constable, We're tired of looking em Give a change of landscape Give that enchanting view of them that distance lends. Send em into the field"
 Meanwhile Eastman Hunt agitates the willow and and then taps the plate with the end of it and sares, in the moundsman, the shortstop, the basemen and the outfielders, trying decide which of them is the worthiest have the ball knocked through him. Or shall he knock it the fence?
 The pitcher medates to the course he should pursue with reference to the basman. Shall he mere ly retire him strikes? In that he will appear later in the batting order and all will have again. Would it not be better though less sports manlike, hit him with the ball with great force that he will be permanently put of the game
 But the audience is not interested in the medita- tons of the batsman and the pitcher It action Play ball.

The President and Coruress,

There is this to be said about the proposed gerssional action in the matter of the armament of merchant vessels Whatever that action might be- American citizens well the beigerent nations would know, whatever policy might be decided upon. that it would be policy that could be changed within d week month
 Any policy, anything. would be preferable these interminable negotiations that bring around again and again to the point whence we started. If we always knew that would be thus brought around, we would be troubled by other emotions than those of disgust and shame. But we have no means of knowing that at point of aimless wandering shall not bump into So, with disgust and shame is mingled apprehension. Some pronouncement by congress would, at least let us know where we stand
 There is in congress, evidently strong sentiment against the administrations latest view regarding the armament of merchant vessels; the sentiment goes at least to the extent of warning American citizens against boarding armed vessels That prob ably reflects the majority sentiment of the country which found expression at the time of the sink ing of the Lustania notwithstanding the horror pro- duced by that tragedy and the right guaranteed neutrals by international law travel on merchant
 
 Congress and all Americans would still insist on this right, but it is argued by members of congress that the arming of d merchant vessel even for de- fensive purposes, removes it from the class of sels on which, under international law neutrals may travel with safety. When the international agree ment under which the administration for the present insists that Americans may travel on all merchant sels reached the matter of armament was not considered. Merchant vessels were not then armed: there was no need of arming them. No arma- ment could be effective against enemy warship and there other peril the sea Merchant vessels could depend only upon speed and chance. The arms carried by merchant vessels may be very effective against their only enemies sea. and strike without warning.
 Whatever congress may do will be very embarrass- ing to the administration 1t may not indeed adopt resolutions adverse to the ephemeral view the ad- mnistration. The republican members would prob ably intervene for political the pres dent from his own party in congress- But one demo- cratic congressman has remarked very significantly that the matter of warning Americans against tray cling on armed merchant vessels lis not worth going to about"
 That statement, if it represents the opinion of the majority in congress is notice Germany that the president will not have the backing congress with out which he would be utterly powerless if break should occur between the two countries this issue
