Watching Cincinnati
From now on fans from one section Of
America to the other and around the man
will be focusing their attention on Gin
cinnati.
For there are two things there to watch
the greatest pitcher baseball has ever
known, and one of the greatest brains in
tho game directing his energies through a
new channel; and with him tho City Of
Blighted Hopes. There would be no great
interest In watching Matty handling some
club far up In the racc-one with a tradi-
tion of victory behind It. But to see what
he can do with club that has gone through
40 years of sorrow and shame--a club
where some of the best have failed--is
another epic.
Beyond the narrow confines of home-
town prejudice and partlsanship there will
be no other club In the game which so
many million fans will be wishing suo-
cess.

NEW YORK. July 26-when the Cincn.
natl Reds lined up against the Giants here
this afternoon in the initial tilt of the
present SERIES Christie Mathewson appeared
for the first time In his career In an alien
uniform. Since he broke into the game with
New York July II, 1900, at Washington
Park, Brooklyn. until today. Matty has been
striving to keep the metropolitan National
Leaguers on top of the heap. Not only has
Matty strived for that end, but he has been
largely instrumental in winning pennants
and putting the name of John j. McGraw
among the great managers of baseball
Today Mathewson was given a wonderful
ovation by thousands of his friends. who
have seen him hurl his club to victory
countless times. Times have changed since
that hot July day, when as the papers Of
that date tell us in a few words that
young Mathewson possessed great speed
and plenty of confidence in himself, but
could not control his curves" Then Matty
was unknown and was, excepting what
has been quoted. not mentioned in the ac-
count of that Brooklyn-New York game.
But today the old master is hailed as the
worlds greatest and most consistent pitcher
by his gigantic following in Greater New
York. His name is seen on the first page
of all the newspapers, and in spite of the
fact that he is here to lead the Cincinnati
club to victory over the Giants there was
not a soul In the big stadium who did not
wish him the best of luck in his new under
taldng.
But to get back TO that nrst game in
which Matty participated in IN 1900 We
hnd that he went in in the nth inning
10 relieve Doheny. Although he worked
less than four complete innings. Matty
hit three batsmen. passed two and made
a wild pitch. In spite of that unen-
vfable record, he made a decided hit with
the experts and from that day until this
has been recognized by the baseball worik
as one OF its mightiest opponents. AT
present Mathewson does not intend TO do
any pitching. but he may go in II he is
needed.

SEllCAGO BABIES III ] F1ARDES
BY MILK AND ICE PRICE RAISE
Between the ice companies, the
milk concerns and the hot weather
Chicago babies are having a hard
time pulling through the summer.
For the month of July just passed all
records for baby deaths were shat
tered. Never in the history of Chi
cago has any month of July equaIed
that of July, 1916, in fatalities to the
youngest generation.
Just when everything in the line of
food has taken a jump and when
poor folks can hardly afford to buy
milk and ice at any price, both of
those necessities for babies go sky
ward. Ice, few days ago, advanced
one-third and milk shot up one cent
per quart.
Rich folks should worry, but the
poorer classes and even the middle
class homes are hit hard. Instead of
something to check the appalling
deathrate of babies, the ice and milk
raise is toward making conditions
worse. Babies must have milk and
ice.
Big concerns handling both neces-
sites are free with their excuses for
the advance. They claim a lack of
milk and poorer handling facilities on
one hand and a lack of wagons to
haul ice on the other hand. Also
both sides lay some blame on the a6-
vance in the cost of labor. And Chi
cago babies, in the meantime, con-
tinue to suffer.
Big Business in the form of milk
and ice dealers came in for a severe
raking at the hands of Health Com'r
J. D. Robertson yesterday, because
they took advantage of the terrible
hot spell and boosted prices on their
products.
It's a shame to see a cent tackled
to the price Of milk and to see the
cost of ice double just when the poor
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-08-02

chicago SQOulQ nave some SOIL OF
a municipal commission to regulate
the price of foods, just as the have in
Berlin and other cities in warning
Europe.
It's too bad that a nation must
go to war before the people in it are
protected against price boosters who
wait until their product is so neces-
saTy and then kite the prices.
"A municipal commission should
be given power to set the price of
food articles. If a dealer wanted to
tack on a so per cent increase, as
did ice dealers with remarkable
unanimity during the hot spell, he
would be forced to show a better
reason for it than l have heard.
The penny that is added to the
milk price is not much, but when
you think of the thousands of pens
MES that the poor will have to spend
under the increased cost Of milk it
does amount to something.
"Of course, the most UnmerCifUl
boost was in the cost of ice. l re-
GREETED very much to see the ice men
tack on an extra so per cent just
when ice meant life to many poor
folk in the slums.
Just how many pOverty-stricken
mOTtals died because there was not
enough money in the house to buy
ice, we will never know. But the
raise of price certainly was bitter to
those in the poor districts"
The latest big milk firm to boost
the price to 9 cents for quart bottles
was the Bowman Dairy Co. Ira ].
Mix will follow suit today. Wanzer's
dairy is expected to do the same be-
fore the week end.
The ice dealers lowered prices a bit
as the warm weather broke. They
still complain that they cannot get
men to haul their product. The
shortage is their excuse for high
prices.

Arguing the War
Tampa Tribune: The most futile
thing in the world is to argue the war.
On Port Tampa car yesterday we
heard two men who were engaged in
this useless occupation.
They started at Ballast Point in the
usual manner.
WELL" one of them asked, "What
do you think of the war;"
The other, q friend of Germany, i'm
mediately answered in emphatic Ian
guage.
Whereupon the first replied:
you're all wrong, and can prove il
to you"
By the time the car had reached
Hyde Park the dialogue ran like this:
as that so?"
"You don't know what you're talk
ing about"
"That's all foolishness."
81 never heard such rot"
At the Tampa Bay Hotel they were
getting red in the face. At Tibbctt's
Corner they parted enemies.
And strangely enough, neither the
cause of Germany nor of the Allies
was advanced one bit by their discus
sion.

Is If War With MeXicO?-

Gainesville Sun: Latest dispatches
state that President Wilson has called
out the militia of the several border
states to control the troubles with Mex
leo. Cerainly he would not call out
state militia as long as there were
any available enlisted men who could
be put into the breach. In other
words, the whole American army is
already on Mexican soil, and still the
willy Greaser has been able to slip
across the border and DO some more
killing, of American citizens.
1t would seem that the time has
come for the using of drastic meas
urcs to put q stop to all that sort Of
Guerrilla warfare, and the only way
to do it is to really declare war, make
war out of it. and do the business
which comes with war. even to the
determination Of the bandits.

THE REJOINDER.

This Governments rejoinder to
Germany's reply to our last note re-
iterates, in briefer form, the stipula-
tions of its predecessor. 1t accepts
Germany's declaration of can aban-
donment of the policy which has SO
seriously menaced the good relations
existing between the two countries,
but it asserts that this country will
expect "scrupulous execution" of the
German promise Of altered policy.
Furthermore, this Government re-
iccts the suggestion that Germany's
promise is in any way dependent up
on negotiations between the United
States and other beligerent countries
This is timely Interpolation, be-
cause Germany evidently contemplat
ed loophole in the wording of Its
reply. to admit of Comeback II
the event of another deep sea out
rage. As the American message de
clares: Responsibility IN such mat
ters is single, not joint; absolute, mo-
relative"
It is likely that the situation be-
tween the two countries will continue
as at present until the end of tht
war, unless there should be a viola
ton Of the agreement on the part Of
Germany. 1t is to be hoped that i
will not be necessary to reopen th@
case.-Tampa Tribune.
