Association"
Joe Tinker, president and manager Of
the Columbus club. said he understood

said
The club owners pledged themselves
to reduce the salaries OF high priced
players 20 10 90 per cent. Players re-
fusing to accept the reduction will be
released, il was announced. Probably
dozen men will be asked to accept a
cut in salary.

Indianapolis club; o. II. Wathen, of
Louisville. and Roger Bresnahan, Of To-
ledo, the three who opposed calling off

Thomas A. Barker, an attorney, OF
Louisville, who demanded that the pro-
posal to play two schedules Of seventy
seven games each, instead of the inter
sectional series. be dropped. As q re-
suit il was decided TO add forty two

ing it to 1874 games. The present sched-
uls ends August 5. Wathen. Bresna-
han and NJ. Z. Cantillon. of the Mime
apolis club, were appointed to schedule

Pores, Barden and Voteretsas.
Many humorous incidents marked the
efforts of the athletes at the water

Pores and Barden, but several others
missed their footing and fell back 10

Mayo still set the pace as Cemetery
Hill was reached, and passing the start

mile lap he was leading Barden by two
wards in 1916. Pores was a like dis
tance behind, and ten yards further
back came Gianakopulos, Voteretsas,
John d. Bell, New York Athletic Club;
Julius Katz. Pennant Athletic Club, and
kyronen.
A Spirited Battle
The fight for the van position during
the next half mile was more spirited.
Barden was the first TO sprint past
MAYO, but the latter regained his COW
eted position when the golf hill was
reached. Roth Barden and Mayo took
the hill with great effort, while Pores
slowly picked up ground.
When the summit was reached Pores
decided to make his bid for the leading
position, and challenged with a sprint.

then decided TO drop back. Mayo fol-
lowed the pace Of Pores for another

HARDEN'S VOICE.

Macmillan Harden, the one un-
shacked editor in Germany who dares
to boldly criticize the military autoc-
tonic empire in a recent issue of his
! paper voiced the growing demand OF
democracy for greater share in the
government of Germany, as follows:
The German people are not free, for
the institutions under which they ar,
living do not meet their requirements
Nor are they governed by such men
as have been proved by lntrciless, I'M =
compromising selection rs most fit for
the task
No patchwork can help. New thought
demands a new garb. Fermenting
drink has no business in an old, un
sealed container
And it must no longer be the will of
one man that is to decide the garb and
the container. That is no longer pos
sible in any European land today, is
not even attempted in any of them.
We want to govern ourselves as well
and as conscientiously as we know
how.
We want to decide ourselves the road
that leads into the bright future.
We are mature; we want to forge
our own fortunes. 1t cannot be worse
than it has been so far. Whoever
thinks the turn to democracy is too
brisk should remember that Bismarck
himself contended that a country
should be governed either by absoIut-
ism or by parliament, according to the
requirements of the time.

at once to take charge of food exports.
More than that, the just demands of
our own people have to be considered.
The protest made to congress by repre-
sentatives OF labor in the non -agricul-
tural industries is illuminative on this
point How can labor be expected to
do it's utmost in the prosecution of the
war. and do it cheerfully, if the gov
eminent keeps on lodging the duty of
assuring a fair distribution of the food
supply assigned for domestic use? Dis
content is bound to come if the evils
of food speculation and exploitation
are not eliminated. The new food con-
| troler must have authority to put a
! limit to the prices charged for neces-
saries of life. That is an essential war
power. The great mass of the people

NEWSPAPERS AN EDUCATIONAL
FORCE.

We spend every year in the United
States hundreds of millions of dollars
in primary education and a very large
amount in college education for the
youths. But the greet educational
force of the country is in the news
papers and magazines. The great mass
of the people of this country get most
of their education. aside from their
everyday experiences. from reading
the news. advertisements and other
matter in the newspapers and maya
zines. Nobody would suggest that we
close our schools or stop primary edu-
cation in the land, and l know of
nothing that will be of more value to
the people of this country than to have
these educational facilities in the
highest degree during the war. It will
be a mistake to lay burden on the
newspapers. We all know the in

If no one ever had grief or care,
If everybody had enough of dough,

If husbands never lied or beat their

If little boys were never loud or

If doctors never failed to save our

If no one had to work unless he

If matrimony never knew a jar.

If everyone could own II motor-car
