lit was Thomas Jefferson wht
said "that Eternal vigilance il
the price Of liberty" 1t woult
seem that Congress requires eter
nal vigilance also If it Is to legis
late in the interest Of the people,
instead OF the corporation.
Last week the House Of Repre-
sentatives voted down the propO
sition TO increase the limit of
Parcel Post packages from sc
pounds to 100 pounds. This was
great victory of the Express
companies, because all packages
weighing over 80 pounds can be
sent only through the Express
Companies, and they can accor
dinghy charge good fat rates
which the people must pay. Con.
gress man Lewis Of Maryland,
who Is the father Of the Parcel
Post, fought the Express compa-
MES with all his power, but it
seems that the express companies
owns more members Of congress-
and the senate than the people do.
However, this measure may
still be amended for It now goes
to the Senate, and If every voter,
will write a letter to his congress
man, and one to each of his sena
tsrs, and insist that the limit of
parcel post packages be increased
by law from 80 pounds to 100
pounds, the Senate will amend
the Post Office bill accordingly.
Nearly all the European coun
tries carry parcel post packages
exceeding 100 pounds in weight.
Congressman Lewis In lighting
for this increase, stated that IL
Congress would turn the proper
ton down it would sc nd the stock
OF the express companies up
wards more than $25, 900, 600.

IOWA WESLEYAN
TO OPEN SEASON
OskALOOSA COLLEGE WILL BE
FIRST FOE FOR MT. PLEAS
ANT SCHOOL.

Mt. Pleasant, April 12.-1owa Wes-
leyan will open it's baseball season
Thursday afternoon when the Penn
college team meets the locals on their
own diamond. The Wesleyan team Is
far from being confident of annexing
the game as injuries and ineligibil1t1es
have seriously hampered Coach Heidi
and Captain Huebner's efforts to put
on the field a winning team. The
team has been greatly weakened by
the loss of Marsh, a star first base
man. In Mondays practice he dislo-
Gated knee while sliding into sec
ond base 1t is all the more serious
as it was an old injury received in
football and in all probability he will
be lost to the team for the entire sea-
son. Marsh was undoubtedly one OF
the best infielders that ever wore a
wesleyan uniform. He was equally
as good on both offense and defense,
having batted over 400 for the past
two years. Gooch, who has been play
ing second base, is suffering from a
strained shoulder but will be in the
game just the same. Taylor, the vet
eran pitcher, is rapidly rounding into
form and can be depended upon to
take care Of the pitching duties. This
flaxen haired youth has made re,
markable name for himself as a pitch
er and his work will be watched with
a great amount Of interest this year.
Several new men will probably be
seen in Wesleyan uniforms when the
game starts and it all depends upon
how they conduct themselves under
fire as to whether or not Iowa Wesley
an is to enjoy another successful sea-
son of baseball. The lineup is far
from being determined upon but will
probably be as follows:
Lee, c; Taylor, p; Thompson, ID;
Gooch, 2b; Huebner, IS; Davis, 3b;
Messenger, Morris, Coles and Harty,
fielders.

That the time, money and attention
given to sports, both amateur and pro-
fessional, are constantly on the in
crease in this country is shown in the
annual reports of the various govern
ing and allied associations. In some
cases the word recreation can be sub
stituted for sport in order to broaden
the field, for in general way the two
are becoming synonymous In America
as in England. Exact figures are. Of
course, absolutely out of the question,
but from the records available 1t 1s
possible to trace the average growth
with reasonable accuracy.
A recent and semiofi cial census OF
the automobile and motorboat indus
try in the United States placed the
number of motor cars at 2,375,OOO and
motor boats at 100000. This would
give total of more than 100000 mo-
tor driven vehicles on land and water
If the low average of $500 each is
taken as the initial cost, the sum in
vested in this class Of recreation
crosses the billion dollar mark.

Millions Spent Annually for
Different Sports and Recreations

In the golf and tennis fields there
are no means Of reaching even the ap-
proximate amount of money invested
or spent by the followers of these
sports More than 1000 golf clubs
are listed in reference books and the
National Lawn Tennis association con.
sists of twelve minor or sectional as
sociations with membership of more
than 800 clubs. The number of pri-
vate, public, community and neigh
borhood courses or courts must run
into thousands and the annual ex-
pense for upkeep and supplies into
millions.
Baseball and football attendance
records compiled by statisticians for
1915 placed the total of paid admis-
sions at more than 100000. There
are many other sport contests where
admission is charged at certain sea
sons of the year, such as track and
field meets, tennis, soccer, hockey.
skating, automobile racing and box
ing, which would add several millions
to these figures.

SPEAKER WANTS PART
OF PURCHASE PRICE

Cleveland, Ohio, April 12.-Trls
Speaker. star outfielder of the Boston
American team, recently purchased by
the Cleveland American league club,
arrived here Tuesday to make the final
arrangement for his transfer, but re-
fused to sign a contract. Negotiations
will be continued tomorrow morning,
when James c. Dunn, owner of the
Cleveland club, expects to find way
out of the difficulty.
While Speaker and Dunn tonight
had no difficulty in agreeing upon a
salary figure, Speaker insisted that J..
]. Lannin, president Of the Boston
club, pay him $4,000 Of the purchase
price received from Cleveland. Before
leaving Boston, Speaker tried to ar
range this with Lannin but failed. To-
night Dunn attempted to reach Lannin
by wire and effect settlement, but
could not get in touch with the Boston
man. 1t is believed Dunn and Speaker
will reach a satisfactory settlement
tomorrow in case Lannln should per-
sist in his refusal.
