three bingles from the bats of Davis,
Dobbins and Shaefer were all that the
Hughesmen were able to collect.
The Distillers started their bonn

after an intermission while the Plow

draw a goose-egg, the assault was re-
sumed. 1t did not cease until six
runs had been counted in the third.

Hank Gregory has slipped in two

Peoria Journal: In dickering with
Charles Kopp, the Athens, Ill, semi
pro star, the local officials had con-
siderable trouble persuading the
youngster to come here to join the
Disullers. About the first letter re-
ceived from young Kopp included the
following Interrogation
"My parents have forbidden nv re-
porting to your club. They believe
distillers would be slightly too rough
for me. If it happens that all the play
ers are not distillers, may secure
permission to report"
Upon receiving this letter, President
Ryan hurried an answer, stating that
none of the players were distillers and
that it was only a nickname for the
club. Shortly after another letter
came from Kopp, somewhat as fol-
lows:
Fl will be willing to come, proyid-
ing somebody meets me at the train"
Ryan wires an answer to that letter
and the following day received a wire
from Kopp stating:
Il am coming. Don't forget tn moot
me-"
President Jack Ryan and Vice Pres
ident John Whit were at the depot
when Kopp left the train. Since then
Manager Bill Jackson has had one of
the players with Kopp constantly.

the scoring.
Although hit hard in the first three

Illinois in straight sets on the Midway

The Youths Companion does more
than entertain: it affords the reader a
mental and moral tonic. Its stories are
not only well told, contributed by the
best writer's of stories, but they main
tain the standards, reflect the ideals of
the best homes. They do not throw a
false glamour over the tawdry things
of life. Rather do they depict the
courageous, the healthful, the simple
the true life of the greater number
with their adventures, their conflicts of
temperament, their failures and sue
cesses. In 1917 The Companion will
print IL serials and story groups besides
fully $50 single stories and sketches, all

The election over, the federal depart
ment of justice has done very credit
able piece of work in ordering the in
vestigation of causes underlying the
unprecedentedly high prices of many of
the necessities of life. The effects of
the order have already had salutary
influence in lowering the wholesale
price of several of the most important
of these commodities, including coal
The rapacity of interests which have no
moral scruples about robbing the pub
lie, is curbed by the prospect of term
in prison should governmental inves-
tigation establish the fact that they
have been violating the antitrust laws.
The government has recently set the
precedent of fixing the compensation
for certain class of labor. Now it has
the opportunity to go step further,
consistently, and in the interest of all
of the people to determine the price of
the universally essential products of la
Dor. 1t has assumed to establish rates
at which the railroads shall furnish SER
vice to the people, and why should it
not establish rates at which all other
vital service shall be performed? The
Canadian government has already taken
action of this character and severe pen
alties have been provided for whoever
may be convicted of design to corner
and unduly raise the price of food,
clothing, fuel and materials for manu-
facture We do not believe in class
legislation. and if the government is
going into the matter of fixing prices it
should carry out that policy consistently
as regards all of the necessaries of life.
For many years there have been in this
country combinations of capital and
combinations of labor, all pursuing mar
row and wholly selfish interests, be-
tween which the great unorganized
classes of society have been ground as
between the upper and the neither mill
stones. It's high time that the govern
ment took cognizance of this situation
and made an effort to protect the inter-
ests of all upon basis of equity.

1t now appearing certain that Presi-
dent Wilson has been reelected, the
essentials of good citizenship require
that partizanship shall yield before the
will of the majority and that the
president be accorded that universal
respect and support due him as the
chief magistrate of the American
nation. Carping and narrow criticism
of the administration is contrary to the
spirit of onr institutions and incompati-
bic with exalted patriotism. 1t is the
high privilege of our citizenship to OPP
pose governmental policies that are
found wanting in practical operation,
but it is just as surely our duty to APP
prove those which are wise and sal
utary no matter by what political party
they may be applied. 1t cannot be said
the policies of the president have been
proven failures and until they are
80 proven he should be accorded
that full measure of patience and
support warranted by the gravity and
complexiIy of the problems with which
he has to deal. If, four years hence,
or after due trial, these policies are
found fallacious, the time will have
arrived for criticism and opposition.
Furthermore, we would voice our opin-
ion that no general commercial disaster
is impending as a result of the election.
The president is extraordinarily brainy
and capable, thoroughly conversant
with the history of legislative influ-
ences, and it is contrary to reason to
believe he will permit commercial and
industrial disaster to come upon the
country through the maintenance of an
ERRONEOUS tariff policy, even though it be
of democratic origin. Indeed, there
are not wanting indications that the
democratic party is getting ready to
drift away from its time honored policy
of tariff for revenue only" through
the agency of tariff commission and
an extension of reciprocal trade rela-
tionships. And so, whatever our indi-
vidual bias, there is much reason for
viewing the present political situation
of our country with complacence and
its future with considerable measure
of hope and confidence.

London Rentals Highest In World.

Fifty years ago London was one OF
the lowest rented of the great capitals
of the world. Nowadays 1t is one OF
the highest. For shops Bond street is
the dearest thoroughfare in the world.
Broadway in New York comes next,
and limited radius near the Place de
POpera in Paris ranks third. A small
shop in Bond street readily rents for
from $4,000 to $500 year. This in.
cludes the shop and basement, but not
any other part of the premises. The
shops in Regent street cost even more,
but then they are larger, thus making
the rent to the square foot work out
less.
