 The Farmer does not know why Baby Dolls place pro- tected It doesn't know who to blame.
 But upon the face of matters Supt Redgate and Comis- soner Stanley have the only respectable record made necton with this case
 The police arrested Baby Doll thirteen times before the night the riot The riot when they attempted tO arrest him for the fourteenth time

WANT ALL TEAMS
 TO. SHARE MONEY
 OF WORLDS SERIES

Chicago, Dec. '22-The committee, consisting of Ban Johnson, president of the American league, and August Herman; chairman of the National Commission, appointed at the recent conference here of the club owners of the major leagues to revise the system of dividing the receipts of the world series among the players each year, are working today on two tenta- tive plans.
 One plan, said to be favored by Johnson, would allow only the teams finishing in the first division to share in the receipts, the amount to be fixed by the position in which they finish. The other, said to have been suggested by Hermann, would divide the players share of the money among the first seven teams, leaving only the tail enders without a portion of the big stake.
 Whether either of the proposed plans will be approved or whether the old system of permitting only the two teams engaging in the series to have a share, will remain in force must be determined by further conferences, it was said.
 The idea of letting others than tho champions of their respective leagues participate in money derived from the annual event is brought forth, it was said, for the purpose of stimulating I|ball players to give their best efforts to the end of the season, even though | their club may have no chance for a pennant

A WEAK INDICTMENT

THE CASE against Senator LaFoee is stronger than
 the brief in favor of his expulsion which has been f by American Defense Society the senate will hardly de- prye itself of the society of the Wisconsin statesman
 Whether not Senator LaFolee made disoya speech rests upon the of certain language imputed to him. There must be proof of the language.
 That LaFollee advocated taxes and less bonds, either the senate elsewhere is not matter for expulsion or any other form of condemnation.
 The Farmer thinks it extremely necessary to raise large by bonding But admits the reasonableness of the position of who think there should be fewer bonds and more taxes.
 Defense society impresses the having other to grind
 Iaoete is certainly out of tune in his handling of the war question. That he is pro-German is improbable.
 If his utterances in fact dsoya the senate will act accordingly But he will not be expelled for preferrng o bonds Perhaps the partisan character of this brief be accounted for in the presence of Mr. Roosevelt among the ad ysoY board Never has there been any love lost between the colonel senator from Wisconsin If the senator has nred preparation by ccsng the provisions for fnan- cai preparation and is guilty of disoyay what is Colonel Roosevelt guilty of who criticised the in HcallY every of it's endeayors?

DAILY HEALTH
 REPORTS FILED
 FOR ALL CITIES

Daily reports on the health of all the cities and towns in the state will be kept during the ensuing year. The state department of health has had the plan under contemplation for time. Dr. John T. Black announced yesterday that a system has been suc- cessfully worked out and it will be put in operation January 1.
 Under this plan, every health of ficer in the state will have to keep daily tabs on the health of his local ity and report on it to the state de- partment The health officer, in turn, will depend on the physicians of his city or town to keep him inform ed of the cases. Thus it will be pos sible at any time by inquiry at the office of the state department, in the Capitol, to find out just where dis eases are prevalent as well as how serious they are.
 Incipient epidemics can be checked before they get a start, as in tha cases of infectious diseases, they can be immediately traced and if they are contagious, the places where they ex- ist can be quarantined until the mal- ady is stamped out.
 The plan is especially valuable at this time, Dr. Black said, because of the fact that with troops constantly moving from one section of the state to the other, there is danger that they may be moved into an area where there is an epidemic, if there is no information as to the health of that particular community.
 Blank forms will be provided for the filling out of the report from day to day. The usual monthly report of cases occurring within the health of fcer's Jurisdiction will still be requir- ed.

in such cases"
The action of so-called peace soci-
cites in attempting to force the presi-
dent to state terms of peace, and in
spreading their propaganda in the
ranks of organized labor was dealt
with by Mr.. Gompers in no uncertain
terms.
For the United States to state
terms of peace now is to play into the
hands of the enemy" he declared. He
told of having seen n morning news
dispatch to the effect that the Germans
We're retreating in Flanders.
That" he said, ''is the beginning of
the end. Back, back, back from devas-
tated France. Back, back, back from
ruined Serbia. Back, back, back from
poor, violated Belgium. Then, when
this has been accomplished, perhaps
we may determine what shall be the
conditions of peace, but not now"
Standards of living for labor have
been guaranteed by the government
since the entry of this country into the
war, he said. Notwithstanding inspired
reports he had received that living
conditions for working men would be
lowered.
He spoke of criticism made against
the government because a referendum
vote was not taken among the people

United States to accept the gauntlet
thrown down by the kaiser.
IF dozen men surrounded your
home and told you they wanted every
thing you had, and then started shoot
ing through the windows at your
wife and children, would you call a
meeting to decide whether you would
defend yourself?" he asked.
