matically exploited and held up
by the spectators and the Shy
locks until we are in danger Of
supinely surrendering to their
every demand.
There is absolutely no reason
for the extortionate prices We
have been paying for many
months, except the Vaccinations
of the trusts, the storage com
panies, the spectators, or all who
can in any way hold in restraint
the supply, and by unfair means
stimulate the demand and the
price.
When permitted free movement,
the products Of this country are
always equal to any demand. This
is not true, however, when a large
proportion Of our production is
cornered and retired from the
channels Of trade until scarcity
forces prices to a fictitious level.
When cold storage first came
into general use it was hailed as
one Of the greatest discoveries of
any age. We very much fear,
however, that it is fast becoming
our chief oppressor, unless we can
take it's power out Of unscrupu-
lous hands.
It is time for us to awake to the
Importance Of DEMANDING the
square deal, as well as according
it.
National disaster faces us if we
do not.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-09-18
DEMAND A SQUARE DEAL.

We as a people are IN danger
of 41ring our grip on one Of our
most cherished traits of character
fairness. Time was when this
word and all it stands for was
written broad on our national
life, and we have prided ourselves
on our readiness to accord to any
and all people square deal.
And, paradoxical as it may
Scent this trait still predominates.
We are as ready as we ever were
to grant large justice to ALL But
GRANTING justice is only one
sided fairness one side of
the human equation.
We should DEMAND Justice
and FAIRNESS, each for self and for
all others.
This we are rapidly ceasing to
do. Year by year we are more
and more sleeping on our indivi-
dual and collective rights, and
others, more active and aggres-
sive. are usurping them.
The resources the actaul
productions,-of this great ma
ton are so abundant that "want -
should be an unknown word with
us. Yet want exists, and exists
largely.
With our great wealth we
should be the most care free peo-
pie the world has ever seen, but
we are not. Lines Of care are deep
upon the national brow.
And all Of this because we sleep
upon our rights and will not rise
up and demand square deal We
allow congress to misrepresent us
and have not the energy or nerve
to elect congress which will
force justice and fairness for us.
1t is time we arose in our might
and demanded that the price
booster and speculator must 90
and he will not 60 until we do.
We are hopelessly in the hand,
OF the exploiter-the speculatol
in other people s rights and priv
leges. From the man on the cor
ner who sells us a pair Of shoe
strings for twice their worth be
cause he knows we would no
walk block for the difference. III
to the giant corporation that fur
nlshes the steel for our building
at more than it's worth because h
KNOWS we can get it no wher,
else, all are out for the exploita
ton Of the other fellow.
We have said that we as q peo
pie are as ready as ever to accor,
fairness to all. Yet the yer
presence Of oppression and exto1
ton IN our midst has tendenc
to breed IN us a disregard for thi
principle.
Doubtless you are familiar wit
the story Of the Arab and h

Hon TO Win at Poker
By LOUIS LEE ARMS

a man should ante. This 10 a quaint
idea, as is his ruling in regard 10 q

are ready for the draw the cards must

II these mandates were strictly OBJ
served il would eliminate slmos: any
originality in a mans game, and we
find difficulty in believing that our
author is entirely serious.
Personally, we never have found that
the introduction of freak hands was
necessary 10 beat US. Our favorite
expression against the ordinary or gar
den variety Of hands is That's good"
but our author has dug up few new
hands Of which he speaks at length.
There are four Of them, and they

teresting 10 note that no matter how
hot under the collar you may get, the
odds are 1000 to 1 that you won't

deuce low, without pair or flush. The
tiger beats straight and loses 10
flush, but your chances Of bagging a
tiger are unfortunately but in $50.
A Dutch Straight
A skip is known as q Dutch straight,
though il does not wear wooden shoes.
II is a sequence of alternate cards

played TO beat two pairs and a blaze.
The ODDS are 423 20 / that you cant

that q skip should beat blaze was
afflicted with fallen arches Of the ar

bottom of the sequence. II is played

We should be inclined 10 cavil at this

he will say something about the more
dif4cult science Of collecting.

Baltusrol Club to
Have New Links

Heretofore the BGltusrol Golf Club
has owned some twenty-four acres upon
VIII on its clubhouse is located and has
held the links under long lease.
At the largest meeting ever held by
the club, the members on Saturday az
ternoon last almost unanimously voted
to purchase 14O acres CT adjoining farm
lands lying to the south and east OF
the present course, and incidentally TO
acquire title to the present links, for
the purpose Of maintaining two COM
plete eighteen-ho.e courses Of equal
merit, both starting and ending at the
clubhouse.
Owing to the favorable terms OBJ
tanned the acquisition will not involve
any disturbance OF the clubs finances,
and il will not be necessary for it to
issue any securities.
According to the general plan shown
TO the members, nine OF the lower holes
Of the present course, together with
nine new greens TO be located on a
sixty-fye plot bordering on the
Westfeld highroad, would constitute
the east course.
The nine upper or hillside holes to
be supplemented by nine new green's
on seventy acres OF rolling land lying
to the south OF the present new tenth
and eleventh greens, would constitute
the south course. The first tee Of the
south course would be Immediately be-
hind the clubhouse, and its termination
would be the present eighteenth green.
The first tee Of the east course would
be as at present. and il is likely that
the sixteenth green, which is in front
of the clubhouse, would become the
new eighteenth of the lower course.

Fordham's Eleven
Looking for Game

The Fordhsm grldders were given an
earned rest yesterday following the
decisive victory over the Cornell team.
The players came through the game in
good shape and are ready to put good
finish on the seasons campaign with
the remaining games.
Fordham's next game will be played
on Saturday with the Naval Reserves
from Pelham Bay. Despite the fact
that they had number OF college play
ers in the lineup, the sailors did not
show anything TO worry Fordhsm IN
losing 10 Fort Slocum on Sunday by
a score Of 10 10 0. However, they nave
made a late football start, and VIII
probably improve considerably When
thev face The Bronxmen.

Thomas Is Lost
To Cornell Team

ITHACA, " Y, Nov. le.-Dr. Sharpe,
fer from being downcast by the show
ing his team made against Fordham
last Saturday, to-day started TO round
his team into shape for the Thanksgiv-
ing Day game with Penn by outlining
his plans for the coming practice pc.
riod in a secret lecture in Schoelkopf
Memorial quarters.
The men were informed that physical
condition alone was responsible for the
Fordham walloping, as q low score had
been expected up TO the time OF the
game.
Sharpe announced that tomorrow
practice in scrimmages would be held,
following the Penn-Cornell freshman
game at schoelkopf Field. Thomas, the
second quarterback who was hurt Sat
urday, is out of the game for the rest OF
the year with a broken bone in his
ankle. while Splegelberg, end. may not
be back on account Of bad sprain.

7wo Crates of Egg Bike Riders
Scrambled Ouer NewarR Track

Eggs again faced imminent danger un-
finchingly when two motorcycle bulls
sprang from each side Of the roadway

faced the guns. The other members OF

while the bulls counted up the house

War May Force
Major Leagues
To Pool Players

CHICAGO, Nov. -
~ Pooling of both gate
receipts and players
in the American League next
season may become necessary
in order to avoid shortening
the schedule and reducing sal
aries to a FIVE months basis,
according to President Charles
A. Comiskey Of the White
Sox.
Pooling of players may
become imperative to pre-
serve anything like equality in
playing strength, he said.
IF the forthcoming drafts for
the National Army take half
a dozen regulars away from
one or two teams, one or two
stars from others and none
at all from some clubs the re-
suit would be a runaway pen
nant race, which would rob
the sport of all public interest
early in the season.
