The same holds with Johnson, Alex

There have been few men in base
ball in this category. Mathewson was
one. AS long as Matty could toe the
slab there was no chance of his being
sold at any figure.
The status of the club makes a
great deal of difference in cases of
this kind.
For instance, Speaker was sold by
the Boston Red SoX. While Speaker
was undoubtedly the star of the club,
there were several others not far be-
hind him and the club would afford
to take a chance on selling him for
the price paid and depend on other

DR.. Bracken Rebuked.

At a quarterly meeting Of the state
board of health, said board ad-
ministered what may be considered a
deserving rebuke to the executive
officer of the board.
In spite of patriotic appeal before
the board by DR.. Chas. J. Hatfield of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis in be-
half of that organization and the
American Red Cross, DR.. Bracken was
insistent upon an Independent Christ
mas seal to compete with that of the
American Red Cross. Prompted, no
doubt, largely by feeling of loyalty
to the American Red Cross in the
present world crisis, the other men,
bers of the state board of health did
not allow Mr.. Bracken to domineer to
the extent Of even a second to his
scheme. Minnesota Health Journal.

After the war it is reasonable to be-
lieve that airplanes will come into
common use and to large extent
take the place of automobiles and
other means of travel. The airplane
has been so greatly improved that it is
in actuality no greater source Of
danger than an automobile, and, then,
again, there will be no excuse for col
lisions in the broad expanse above.
We predict that in less than quarter
of a century farmers will be transport
ing their potatoes and even their live
stock to market by means Of air
planes. There is no limit to the posi-
bilities of the airplane 1t can be con
structed to carry hundreds Of tons
The airplane will supersede the auto.

1t is by purely compulsory methods
that Germany can secure men to man
her submarines. Such a large number
of submersibles put to sea and never
returned that German sailors abso-
lutely refused to ship on them. But
the navy department decided that the
undersea boats must be manned, and
drafted men to man them with the
alternative that a refusal would mean
death by shooting. Hence the sailors
decided to run the risk of death in the
U-boats rather than be shot. The
poor fellows were between the devil
(the kaiser) and the deep blue sea.

strutting mollycoddle endeavored to
evade military duty upon the grounds
that pa needed his services as secre-
tary and that his. parents were aged

to convince the draft board and he was

meals sent to him from restaurants in

however, soon brought the Stacker to
time, and he wrote supplicating
apology to the draft board expressing
deep regret for having called that
body inefficient and woodenheaded."
He has been released from the guard
house, however, and also rejected from
the army in consequence Of weak eye

To a certain extent the Russian
armies appear to be redeeming them
selves. They have compelled the Teu-
tons on the northern front to retreat
and pursued them many miles. There
is no apparent reason why Russia,
with it's tremendous military forces
and army equipment, cannot clear it's
territory of every invader. At the be-
ginning OF the war there was some
excuse for the retreat of the Russian
armies, but now there is none.

Government by Dreamers.

Rid Of it's ruling class, freed from
the force that made it nation, free
Russia today lies like barrel with
the hoops off-an unorganized heap,
mass of material of little use until
some master workmen shall put it back
into useful form. r., .-
The poor resistance of the free Rus
sian army, the gullibility of the people,
their loose and childish modes of
thought, have been a disappointment
to the nations that had hoped for bet
ter aid from Russia democratic than
they had received from Russia auto
cratic But Russia is not yet real
democracy. Russians in the mass are
not democratic, except as common
affliction has made them so. And
affliction of itself is but poor prep
aration for self government
It is only a few years since rural
Russia was nation of serfs. Millions
of Russians today were once vassals
of the soil, bought and sold with the
land. And their freedom from serf-
dom was not much more than the free
dom of the jailyard to the prisoner Of
the cell. The thinking done by the
Russian mass hitherto has been large
ly the dreaming of the prisoner.
Prison dreams may be fair to read, but
they are frail in use. Visions in the
dark are for occasional inspiration to
men who work in the sun, not for i'm
pregnable systems Of logic or work
able plans of life.
Angle-Saxon law as it stands today
represents ages of work in cutting
down and trying out theories and
visions. It represents numberless
compromises with resistant conditions,
much slow thinking and many sudden
revelations, alternate backslidings and
reformations, through which succeed
ing generations and nations have
builded on the foundations left by
their ancestors. Modern democracy
represents greater mass Of discarded
law than Of accepted law, but the dis
carding has been mostly by attrition,
not by overthrow. The whole history
of our human race has been written
in our law.
No people or class Of people, nor
school Of thinking, can go much far
ther in recasting the existing order Of
democracy as expressed in English,
French and American government,
than to test out few small amend
ments. And these amendments if they
are to become part Of permanent
law, must be devised and offered by

People are slowly coming to the
common sense idea that trust busting
never has accomplished and never can
accomplish anything valuable. The
one thing that consumers are interest
ed in is the price, and every busting of
a trust has been followed by increased
prices. The only one remedy is to
regulate the price, and if the govern

it will find some rough breakers ahead.
