And it is very probable shat the big
league rn2gnates are planning many
things that they are not giving out in
terviews about just now Most of the
magnateS realize that the time has
about arrived when they must give the
player a fair share Of the profits and
that they must establish a closer re-
lationship with them.
This is probably responsible for the
announcement that the players will
be given chance to have a repre-
sentative in the highest tribunal of
the game.
Another thing that the magnates
are probably considering is a pre-
paredness plan against another at
tack from an Independent organiza-
ton. Nothing short of the death of
baseball can keep another big league
from springing up, and sooner or
later there will be a third major
league that Will be as strong and as
firmly entrenched as the American
and National leagues now are.
And if the American and National
league moguls are as wise as they are
supposed to be, they are the men who
will launch the third major before

SANTA FE WILL FIGHT s-HoUR
LAW THROUGH COURTS
Topeka, Kan., Sept. l. The At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
will not comply with the Adamson
8-hour law until commanded to do
so by the court of last resort. This
was learned definitely here today,
following a formal statement issued
by E. P. Ripley, president Of the
Stana Fe, before returning to Chi
cagO.
''The new law, hastily enacted by
congress, is nothing more or less
than an advance of 20 to % per. cent
in the wages of the best paid men in
the railroad service" Ripley said.
''The Santa Fe will not comply with
the law until ordered to do so by the
court of last resort"
Ripley said that any other class Of
railway workers is entitled to more
money than the trainmen.
ST. Paul, Minn., Sept. THE
Great Northern will scrupuloUsly
obey the provisions of the Adamson
8-hour bill, it was announced today.
This announcement seemed to sub
stantiate a recent rumor that either
the Great Northern or the Santa Fe
would be chosen to force action that
would bring a test in courts.
Western railroad officials were reti-
cent today as to whether they would
follow the action of Pres. E. P. Rip
ley Of the Santa Fe.
''The railroads just now are stand
ing pat" said one official There is
little worry that the Adamson bill
will be enforced as it is.

CANADA CONOUERs ENGLAND AND MAKES IT
DEMOCRATIC LAUGH AT DUKES

Typical English speech is like a
stocking full of tepid mush, but the
Canadians talk American, and don't
chant or sing-song. They just bite
it off and let go like normal, healthy
human beings, and to hear them
makes you thing of home and heaV-
en- and fried chicken a la Maryland.
Their speech is but one Of the
blessings the Canadians have con-
ferred upon this land. They have
shaken up English journalism and
made it at times almost readable.
In the pages where you used to be
told that ''The paramount influences
of SkandahooYia are confronted with
an involUted situation whereof the
complexities remain to be solved
with diligent application" the Lon
don Telegraph now says: "The
Skandahoovians are up against it,
and you get an idea, instead of an at
tack of coma.
But this isn't all. These breezy,
able, confident young men have been
thrusting levers under the revered
social structure. They don't give a
boot for sacred caste. Social distinc-
tons make them tired and they say
so with engaging frankness.
The Duke of Muckamuck means
nothing to these boys; neither does
the Earl of Backstairs. They don't
have any dukes or earls out in Med
icine Hat and Calgary, and don't
want any. Their idea is that a mans
decayed ancestors are a mighty poor
basis for estimating the living man,
and they are slowly jamming some
thing of that idea into a social or.
ganization where you would have
sworn it couldn't be driven with a
pile driver.

in Great Britain in the old days was
the army. All British officers were
gentlemen" and a strict sense Of

London, Eng, Aug. s.-Not quite

contributed by Canada, upon whom

Britain and the British press have

nothing has been said about certain

You can't go anywhere without see

for what they are. Those little metal
plates on the shoulders of their uni

perfectly useless. No one could ever
take a Canadian for anything else.

But great novelists, whatever else
they are, are never dreary fools; and
their unapproachableness, when they
are unapproachable, is never willful, /
suppose. and never the proof Of their
greatness. To employ a manner and

times find irritating to the last degree
