THE NEW KIND OF EMPLOYER

Forbes Magazine recently offered $1,000 in prizes for essays on the best employer in America An employe of the National Cash Register Company won the first prize of $500 with an essay on the life and business motives of John H. Patterson, president of the company.
 MT. Patterson has built up the largest business of it's kind in the world because long ago he saw that he should get his employees to work with him and not for him
 In 1892, when his business was on the road to ruin, he sat down to fathom it's difficulty. He decided that the trouble lay in the fact that he was trying to get as much from his employees as he possibly could for the smallest wages possible, and that his employees were giving him the small est amount of real work they could for the wages they were paid.
 He decided this was wrong, and he set about to remedy it.
 He became interested in the work CTS in his factory, and suddenly they became interested in him.
 He gave them reason to be proud of the National Cash Register Con- pany, and they proceeded to make their employer proud of them.
 He gave every worker chance to better his condition, and the employees dug in to avail themselves of the op- portunities opened to them.
 The career of John H. Patterson of- ters much to interest others. He is ore of the heralds of a new system in the world in which capital and labor will cooperate to the common aims and ends of both.

JAPANESE RESIDENT
 WANTS ID JOIN ARMY

HONOLULU, T. H., April 18.-Ap- preciation of what it means to live under the protection of the United States is shown in a letter from a Japanese pineapple laborer of the island of Kauai, received at the selec- tive draft headquarters in this city. The writer states that he is 39 years of age, and hence will not be drafted, but he wants to enlist voluntarily for service. He has lived in the islands for eighteen years.
 "The reason that I wanted very much to join the United States army voluntarily and fight the Huns," his letter concludes, ''is that I have been in the United States so long and feel that it is my duty to do something in return for the country where I have lived so long and received the protection and many other privi- Ieges."

TRENCH PAPER
 IS RECEIVED
 FROM FRANCE

Through the courtesy of Sergeant A. c. Elliott of the Eighteenth United States engineers, the Daily Times is in receipt of a copy of the February issue of "The spiker," the regimen, tai paper issued by the organization of which the sergeant is a member.
 "The Spiker" consists of 26 pages. all of which is reading matter. While there is some serious matter fin if. it is bubbling over with humor and jokes on the men of the regiment.
 Sergeant Elliott, who sent the CODY to the Times, is we'll known in Cor, dova, having been employed here for some time.

WHAT NEXT?

It is a personal characteristic of George Creel we suppose, to attempt to arrogate unto himself power and more power. Also, he wouldn't be a good Democrat if he did not show this disposition. What with the censor ing of war dispatches and the dissemi- nation of information in various forms information which properly comes under the category of stale news and promptly finds it's way into the edf- tOrial waste basket-one would think that he could find plenty to do in his present capacity. But Mr. Creel is an industrious young man and a veri- table glutton for work. So, when he now seeks to have all historical and magazine articles and books dealing with any phase of the war submitted to his bureau for examination before publication, we suppose that we ought not to be surprised.
 It is no secret that the director of the "bureau of public Information" has long had a strangle hold on the daily press. Due to his relentless methods, the great American dailies have been obliged to sacrifice their independence and individuality, and in so far as they have yielded in this respect, just so far have they suf- fered in the estimation of the rank and file of their readers. In contra distinction to the daily papers, the great national periodicals and maga- zines have gained in popular favor. The reason for this is quite clear; because of their very nature they are not dependent upon the censorship for the news matter that fills their columns. Thus have they been able to edit and publish their matter in keeping with the true spirit of Ameri-
 can journalism. True, the discrimi- natory postage rates nave done much
 to discourage them by imposing on their operations a severe and unfair financial burden, but in one way or another they have all managed to pull through and perform their plain duty to the American people.
 Now, MT. Creel proposes to cripple them beyond repair by robbing them of their very birthright-that of in- dependent utterance For once it be- comes known that he is the editor-in- chief of all publications, their doom is sealed. We wonder just how far the American people will really let him go.

KAISER DALLIEs WITH A GIANT

The United States is a giant among nations-the wealthiest, the strongest che healthiest of them all.
 If you will recall the fairy tales you read in your youth you will remem. Der that giants cannot get their strength gathered for too sudden ac- tIon. In those old stories they were generally asleep with large cudgeIs close at their sides. Common people could come in and steal their porridge without awakening them. Jack of the Bean Stalk did almost anything he tried without arousing the giant that he had to deal with.
 But the final lines of those tales of supernatural people nearly always ended with the giant arousing himself, stretching out his arms, yawning, grasping his club, and then grinding up a few bones with which to make his bread.
 It took giant a long time to arouse and get ready for business-but the point is that he ground up the bones of his assailers to make his staff of life.
 Not that we want to use any Ger man bones in our bread-far from that-but that the kaiser had better prepare to skedaddle when the Amer. ican giant gets ready to swing his club.

AMERICAN SPIRIT IS IN FIGHT

Chiefly because our brave soldiers themselves are so anxious to get into the fight and take their fling at the Hun, the nation is happy that 100000 Yankees under General Foch, the new commander of the allied reserve ar mics, are getting their chance.
 Going to the scene of the battle now raging, the Americans sang in joy.
 It can be imagined that they are enthused with the prospect of meas uring strength with the Germans, of taking what comes with a grin and handing back better than they get with a set determination.
 sn letter from a Tuscania survivor the perils of sixty men in the last lifeboat to leave the ill-fated ship are recited. This boat was dashed UT against a rocky bank, and the men in it could not see their peril in the darkness until it was too late for them to pull away.
 Just before the boat was dashed into thousand pieces a lieutenant stood up and said: Remember, men we are all Americans"
 Out of that boatload of sixty, nine saved themselves from the breakers The writer of the letter was one of the nine, and he wrote:
 T am going ahead as if no torpedo had ever struck our ship"
 He has the American spirit.
 All of our boys across the water have it, and nothing but good news on that account can come from them.

the course than his partner and carried
his side through many tight places. He
was around in ~. He got the best score
of the four. Travers came to his rescue
on two holes when needed badly. Ouimet
was the next best. with rs, but his
driving was far steadier than the others.

JOHNSON'S BOSSISM
OYER, SAY OWNERS
Trazee, Comiskcy and Griffith
Say Club Presidents Will
Run American League.

r, yvEIANp, Aug. 4.--Before leaving
,or their homes early this morning fol-
louing the meetings of the American
league and the National Commission
Harry Frazee Of Boston, Charles Comis-
tey OF Chicago and Clark Grimth OF
washington issued declaration Of in
d.nendence as regards the bossing of
the American League by Ban Johnson.
several other owners are understood to
coincide In the opinion OF the three mem
,oned The declaration was prompted
nv the action of johnson In warning
tho owners 20 shut down all baseball ac-
tiyi.ies by September 1, as ordered by
Secretary OF War Baker.
When asked tonight how II was that
the American League decided to play
It's scheduled games until September
in face of his advance prediction that
~. league would close on August 20
johnson said
III the club owners wish to take n
,hanre with the Government that is their
business" ..-,
THAT statement met the disapproval Of
Frasee, Comiskey and Griffith and they
issued the following statement:
..The declaration by President John
son that we were taking chance of
continuing the season. inferring we were
defying the War Department. Is an I'M
warranted misstatement OF facts. We
have no wish to antagonize the War De-
partment, for which we have the great
est respect.
Just why President johnson should
take the stand he did in this matter is
beyond our comprehension. We believe
he always has acted honestly in the
interests of the American League. but
he has bungled the AFFAIRS of his league
in this case. He has tried to close our
gates several times this season, but
from now on he is through spending our
money.
The club owners are going to run the
American League in the future. We
crlticse Mr.. johnson merely as an Of
ficial. We have nothing against him
personally but from now on we intend
TO take a hand in the management OF
the league. His rule or ruin policy Is
shelved."

SIX RECORDS FALL
IN WEEKS RACING
Meeting at Spa Brings Forth
Billy Kelly as Seasons
Best 2-Year-Old.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, Aug. A.
Not In the memory of the oldest living
racegoer have records fallen with such
rapidity and regularity as they did last
week In the first week of racing at
the Spas famous course. In three days
six marks were shattered and most were
those which had been written into turf
history years ago and had stood Off the
speed and stamina Of thousands of
great thoroughbreds.
On the opening day Panaman and
Roamer made new figures. The next
day Lacework and Polymelian shocked
Father Time and yesterday Sticking and
Enfilade sped around the track in I'M
precedented time. In the opinion OF
expert trainers here, they are only a
few of the horses which will hang up
new marks during the meeting.
Besides the records. the meeting has
brought forth the best two-year-old of
the season. He is Billy Kelly. the I'M
attractive looking little gelding which
won the Flash and the United States
Hotel Stakes. He came out OF the West
heralied as a wonder. but the sceptical
Fasteners belttled his past perform
ances. and before his victories in the
Flash and the United States Hotel
Stakes all predicted he would have no
chance against the renowned Juveniles
in this section Of the country. But af-
ter he had galloped of with these two
rich stakes and easily defeated his fields
the Fasteners declared that they had
been shown a great colt and probably
the greatest OF the year.
What Billy Kelly Is to the Juveniles
Roamer Ia among the handicap horses.
This seven-year-old son of Knight Err
rant and Rosetree II, is as good as when
he was the und!sputed title holder In
1915. He regained the title by his rec
ord breaking performance in the Sara
toga Handicap. when he defeated the
best distance horses in training, includ-
ing the mighty CudgeL In that race he
carried only five pounds less than Cudgel
and gave Commander Ross colt ten
pound bestIng. In accomplishing this
feat he hung up new figures for the one
mile and n furlong course. His right
10 the title will be challenged later at
the meeting by CudgeI. but In the opin-
ion of a majority OF the experts he can
beat Cudgel or any other horse in train
ing If he retains his present condition.
This week gives promise Of furnishing
even grenter contests. The entries for
to-day follow:
