North Side Shuts the South Side
Out.

The ball game last Wednesday after
noon between the North Side and
South Side resulted in the South Side
getting a goose egg, while their OPP
ponents piled up IL runs. The South
Side hit the ball a plenty but the in
field was little too strong and they
let very few get by them, and the
pitchers were alright in the pinches.

THE PARENTsp WHY, YES,
POSSIBILITY

old-fashioned doctrine this, SO old
that it is rather novel, that one
speaker propounded yesterday before
the conference Of Catholic Charities
at Catholic University.
The Rev. Patrick Mallon sets forth
that much of the Juvenile delin-
quency of today is due to neglect of
proper training by parents.
We had almost begun to think
that all truancy was the fault of ade-
noids. Thievery must be the fault
Of present day religious training in
Sunday schools. Lack Of respect for
elders has been blamed on the over
worked teachers in public schools.
Misdemeanors have been attributed
to lack of Fairgrounds, which are
supposed, by some magic, to keep
children out of mischief. Failure to
make good in school has been the
fault of teaching methods in modern
school rooms. If children were
physically weak more appropriations
for swimming pools and baseball dia-
monds were asked for. Municipal
golf courses even have been advanced
rs palliatives of adolescent crime.
Everything and everybody has
been blamed but the parents. Maybe
there's something in this idea of DR..
Mallon's. Anyway it is SO original
II is worth thinking about.

PROFESSOR IRVING FISHER IN
POLITICS.

There seemed to be a pretty good
chance that Prof. Irving Fisher, of
Yale, would be nominated for gov
ernor by the Nutmeg Democrats.
Then somebody went browsing
through his writings, doubtless
somebody who remembered the fer
vent wish that mine enemy should
write a book" and demonstrated
that he had talked too much, and too
candidly,. on some public question.
So he will not do.
Irving Fisher possesses one Of the
most animated intellects and is one
of the most persistent producers of
copy" in Christendom. He is never
less than interesting, and he is often
very illuminating. Maybe he scat
tiers a bit, but anybody else would
that had to keep up with the in
sistence of his eternal energy. Ex-
actly whether he's a radical or a
conservative is not easy to answer.
He is radical about some things and
tory about some others; and at
least it would be some experience
to see him at the head of a States
administration, with legislature on
his hands, trying to make it think
about one-one- hundredth as fast as
he does, and perform about one-one-
hundredth as fast as it could think.
Doubtless the experience would con-
vince DR.. Fisher that there are a
good many very practical and highly
specific difficulties about getting
things done; and maybe, too, he
would devise some new ways TO ac-
complish his ends. There are good
many experienced administrators
who would be delighted to benefit by
his experience,

THE PAPER WITH THE NEWS

Anybody who reads the newspapers
and who does not ?-must have
observed that every year makes the
evening paper more emphatically
the original purveyor Of real news
while it is news. The war news is
almost all "evening paper news"
Day after day this advantage Of the
evening papers is emphasized. as i'm
provements in>pethods Of commune
cation and better mechanical facili-
ties increasingly compact the world.
The great news of the world is
happening several hours ahead of
America, and therefore the day is
ended and its record made up in
time for transmission of it's reports
to US for the evening papers. 1t is
not to be overlooked that for many
years to come the news that will
arrive on evening paper time will be
more important to Americans than
it has ever been before.
Nowadays, there is just about one
occasion when the morning paper
has the definite, distinct advantage
over the evening paper in giving
real news first when it is new. That
is election night; and even then, peo-
pies interest is such that most Of
them manage to stay around and
know who has been elected before
they 60 to bed on election night.
The morning paper confirms with
some detail that which they already
knew.
This world is as much ahead Of the
morning papers day, as, some forty
years ago, the morning papers day
was ahead Of the weekly sheet and
the occasional pamphlet.

THE PRESIDENT SHOULD ACT

A year or two ago a postmaster
In small Western town was dis
dplined by department official be-
cause he had INDUCED some criticism
Of President Wilson. The President,
when the affair came to his ears,
promptly overruled the official and
required that the postmaster be re-
stored to his former status. In that
case. a criticism of the President was
not tobe accepted as an improperly,
even when INDUCED by a Govern
ment officer.
Yet the other day a distinguished
American journalist, who has trav-
sled the world over and enjoyed the
recognition and assistance Of gov
ernments literally in every quarter
Of the globe, was refused the most
ordinary courtesy of the American
embassy at Paris because he had
published a letter criticising Presi-
dent Wilson. The criticism was one
that might have been emitted with
cut causing any possible resentment
on the part of the President or any
body else. The President had sent,
on behalf Of the American public, his
congratulations to Emperor Francis
Joseph on his birthday. Mr.. Russell
doubted the propriety Of il; and a
good many other people did and do.
We suspect strongly that If the Pres
ident had asked the advice of his
Cabinet before sending that tele-
gram, he would have found precisely
the same objection there that Mr..
Russell uttered. Il does not occur
% us that what the President did
was particularly Objectionable; It
was an amiable formality such as is
observed among sovereigns, and
meant nothing at all. A criticism of
Il would be rather casual and unim-
portant, as the act criticised was for
NAL and without real significance.
But when the American embassy
refused to give Mr.. Russell the let
bar Of credentials that is issued as q
matter Of course to reputable jour-
nalists in Europe, the affair became
significant. The embassy official
who took that position, and frankly
said he did it because of Mr.. Rus
sells letter criticising the President,
should DO called to account repudi-

JUSTICE SEABURY AND THE
PROORESSIVES

Judge Seabury, Tammany candi-
date for governor Of New York, hav-
ing made a good record on the bench,
was brought out for governor in
cheerful disregard Of the Democratic
displeasure at dragging men down
from the bench to political candi-
dacies." He aspired likewise to the
Progressive nomination, while Gov.
ernor Whitman also stood for that
Endorsement as well as for the Re
publican support.
Here was q fine test Of the dispo-
sition Of Progressives. Seabury, per
Sc, was pretty much their kind of q
candidate. Like Mr.. Hughes, he had
made q good judicial record. The
regular Democratic organization was
for him; and that implied a good
deal. He had to be judged by the
company he was in, rather than on
his own record.
In the primary yesterday, Cover
nor Whitman swept off the Pro-
gressive nomination. The Progress.
ives indicated in New York, as they
had already done in Maine, in Cali.
fornia, in Washington, that they
were determined to 60 back to their
old allegiance. II is simply one more
demonstration Of their purpose; but
a highly important one, for two rea.
sons.
In the first place, the Progressive
vote was very small, indicating that
those still remaining to vote under
that banner were the most nearly
irreconcilable minority; the one.
least willing to return to the fold
the ones from whom the Democrat.

Our hats of to the press agent for

Who he is, officer or private;
whether he does It for patriotism or
pay, we know not. But his yarns,
short, snappy, funny, weird, make
even a city editor smile, pause the
hand Of a managing editor on the
way to the waste basket, and even
have made "copy desk" break into
q "ha-ha," II he knows what copy

Maybe they are true, maybe not.

agent Of them all, strayed far from
fact; the prose bard Of Winsted,

are now too many short-legged men

Shanghai swallowed the head Of a
fighting rooster and ended the sport,
perhaps the crude oil thrown over
board by Uncle Sans ships pre-
vented sea gulls from navigation, so
that the marines had to rescue them;
mayhap the cause of assertions is
the call Of photography and not pure

not.
