Well Fitted For Duties
II is contended by the friends OF Mr..
Calder that his ten years service In
congress fits him for the higher duties
In the upper house. The tradition
which requires that senatorial
rookie" wait two years before max
ing his maiden speech. they point out,
will not apply TO the probable new
senator from New York. He already
knows. they say. all or almost all that
Is to be known about Washington and
Its environments and is thoroughly
equipped for effective and immediate
service.
Discussing his candidacy for the
United States senate. Mr.. Calder mod
estly said
THE only thing that worries me in
connection with this effort Of my
friends to place me In the United
States senate Is an acute conscious
ness of my own limitations. Some cit,
liens regard a seat In the United States
senate as a personal perquisite. But
In reality II is an asset belonging to all
the people. To the man who occupies
II an opportunity for service TO his
state and nation Is given"
Mr.. Calder was asked IL he thought
the method OF electing United States
senators by direct vote Of the people
was likely to result in the intellectual
deterioration Of that body.
Decidedly not" was his emphatic
rejoinder. THE people can always be
trusted. II they make mistakes they
have the power to correct them.
"Lincoln said you could always trust
the people. and that Is as true now as
when the martyred president gave eI-
preston TO that sentiment. The peo-
Ole In the mass are honest. Leaders
bmetimes betray the people. but the
PEOPLE never betray worthy leaders"

1t will very likely be found that most
of the members of the world cham
pions will believe they are entitled to
an increase instead of a cut in salary.
though they undoubtedly were over
paid last season, when the Boston
clubs salary list was s135.00o- They
are likely to be a disgruntled lot as
result of the stand Owner Lannin has
taken, though he is justified in 1t, and
a squad of dissatisfied players is not
apt to play with the spirit that wins
pennants. though the players really
have no complaint to make. The Bos-
ton club made decidedly little money
last season because of it's enormous sal
ary list, and Lannin merely is trying to
reduce his expenses to the point where
he can make a fair interest on his in
vestment.
The criticism of Charles Comiskey,

agreed not to touch any of the Federal
League players
During the peace conference in New
York some one asked Comiskey during
the meeting IL he would insist on hav-
ing Hal Chase returned. and the "Oid
Roman" replied that Chase could never
play on any club he owned.
1t would have been a serious mistake
for the White Sox to have added any
Fed Leaguers to the team, for 1T would
not have been a popular move with the
Chicago fans. Comiskey always has
