Another member of that famous old Cub trio. Tinker and EVers and Chance. has announced his intention of retiring from active participation in the national pastime. He is Joe Tinker. shortstop and at present manager of the Columbus club of the American association.
 Joe declares he will stay on the bench this season and do all of his managing from there. He adds that he thinks his playing days are over and that only the tightest kind of a pinch can draw him back into the fray.
 ENers is rapidly nearing the jump ing off stage He is physically unable to stand the strain of a full seasons work, and it is doubtful if he will be able to perform in any number of contests. Frank Chance has been out of it for several years.

THAT PEACE TABLE.

Suggestions and movements look ing to the demands for place at th, peace table as representative of this or that organlzation, were climaxel this week when a negro conference an session at Helena. Arkansas, an nounced that 1t would send dele sate to Versailles, whether he wa recognized or not. to be and remain throughout the session and look oIt for the interest Of the negroes.
 The Versailles conference is ne Riace to le carrying the internal af- fair1z-v America. However the ex- ample the negroes had justiiies their action in q measure. for other organi-. xatlons for months have been de- manding representation at that con ference.
 The ball was started rolling by la- horites, who declared they were so- ing 10 insist that Mr. Wilson have some delegated representative of tha plumbers or painters or hod carriers at the convention. Then the eastern suffragettes. who picket the white house. and carry banners through streets. declared they were going to denland that they have representa- fion on the peace commission
 Other organizations here and there followed the example. until if Mir Wilson had been disposed to recog- Elsze such demands, he would have had a fine motley of conflicting inter ests before him. Then tho negroes in national convention sent a dele gation to Washington to demand that this race De represented, and finally the Helena negroes declared that whether by authority or not, they were going to have one of their mem Der on the scene.
 While these individual organiza tions may not be oritized for their zeal in General things. 1t certainly is not proper that they should expect iEdlvidilal examinations to supplaEt country at large. America is bigger than thesc individual and eonflicting units. And 1t Is well that the pres. dent has disregarded all these de- mands and proceeded in his selection to secure men for place at tho con- ference who are representative of the interests Of this republic as a whole

THE BIGGEST QUESTION.

The foremost internal question for this government to answer at this time Is the disposition of it's big qnasi-public corporations.
 There are many people, in fact a great many people. who believe that the government should go into the ownership absolutely of all public service corporations. There are a great many others who might have ac nuiesced In that view before the war, But who today are convinced that American business should hetain It's own enterprises. and that the goven ment should step aside now and let these big corporations proceed as they did before war came.
 Of course the government operated public utilities under difficulties. But even at that. the operation by the government of tho utilities was any thing but satisfactory. Rates were raised service Has inefficient, and earnings were less. Whether under peace conditions the government could do better is not an answered question.

Newsboy's Appreciation of Work of "our Boys" q Valuable Object
 Lesson in Patriotism.

Here Is story told ny an 1ndianapo- lis woman:
 "rhe other evening as I was walk ing over the long bridge that extends back of the Union station in Baltimore, my eye, searching for something intcr- osting. caught sight of small news boy--iust Vttle, dirty-faced chap that one does not look at twice What especially drew my attention to him, however, was something unusual in the way he drew out one of his papers, folded it into very small compass. and tossed it over the railing into the freight yard below. My eyes involun- tarily followed the direction of the pa- per, and as 1 peered over the balus. trade 1 saw q stirring scene, numbers of big army trucks and scores of our hoys' bustling round husily and cheer fly unloading and reloading them. One of the soldiers was in the act of way ing his hand in thanks to the boy whose paper he had just picked up.
 Much interested, 1 moved over to the little fellow. Under cover of buy ing q paper and getting change, I put a casual question: How do you ex- poet 10 get your money from that sol dler down there? My little friend looked dlsgusted. T gave 1t to him 2 he instantly retorted. Then he turned to gaze again on the fascinating scene below and added very softly: Hes doIn' more'n cents worth for us.'
