TWO BIG GAMES
One OF Detroit's Best Teams is the
Attraction for Week End.

The Cowpers baseball team OF De-
trolt. which has issued a challenge
for series Of games with the Col
ored Giants Of that city, TO determine
the Detroit city championship, will
furnish entertainment with the Re
pubics at Republic field Saturday
and Sunday, in what is expected Will
De the two best fought ball games OF
the season.
The Cowpers are rated as a better
team than the Maxwell aggregation,
which was here two weeks ago, and
which for the past few years has
held the national independent title
and are expected TO display tine best
ball talent that has ever been shown
in the city in competition with local
team.
The Republics are, without a ques-
tion, one of the strongest independ-
ent teams in the state, and could
probably defeat any minor league
aggregation that Michigan has, but
it is certain 10 be forced 70 the limit
10 achieve the desires Of Manager
Rex DeVogt, who is hoping for two
straight over the Cowpers.
Pitching selections for the game
are uncertain of course, but it is ex-
pected that Olmstead or Blackhall
will have the assignment in the
opening bout and that Truckey will
be sent 10 the mound in the Sunday
game to bring home the bacon.
The time of the Saturday game
has been changed, and in the future
games TO he played on Saturday will
be called at 2:30 instead Of at 300
All Sunday games will be played at
the usual time, 100 p. m.

CITY BORROWING
City is Borrowing About $4,000 for
Two Funds from Banks of Alma.

Because of the fact that some of
the funds of the city are sadly de-
pleted exhausted or overdrawn, the
city commission voted Tuesday even
ing, by resolution, to borrow $4,000
from the two banks of Alma.
$4,000 of this amount is being
borrowed for the general or contin-
gent fund, while the other six thou
sand is being secured for the use Of
the street and highway fund.
Under the resolution the city will
be required to pay back to the Alma
banks this sum, before September 1.
The money is being borrowed in an
ticipation of the July tax roll.

BARRING CHILDREN.
The Case of Man who Thought He
Had Found Flat.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sf: A
serious phase Of the housing problem. OF
even more importance to the heads OF
families than the steady increase in rents
is the attitude taken by the owners OF
various apartment and fiat houses
against permitting children to live in
their houses. Obviously, some OF these
owners should take pattern from the ex-
ample set by the owner OF an apartment
house in Detroit, who recently declared
that families without children are not
welcome in his house.
A Brooklyn man with a wife and four
children found an apartment in which
the rent and other conditions were salts
factory. He made arrangements to take
It, Matters had progressed to the point
of hiring van, when the owner in
quired II the would be tenant had any
children. When he answered that he
had four OF them the owner quickly re-
piled that while she was awfully sorry
she would not under any circumstances
take a family with children into her
house. Necessarily all negotiations were
ended Immediately and the man is still
hunting for home. PARENT.

themselves. DESIRE MERcIER was an
accomplished teacher before he be-
came Il prince of the church. His In
fluence on education in Belgium and
wherever learning Is held in esteem
has long been acknowledged. Prob
ably no detail of the rebuilding of his
country appeals to him more inti.
mately than the reestablishment of
her schools and universities. which 1t
Is proposed this country shall aid by
restocking the library Of Louvain, so
far as 1t may be reconstructed. Bpt
there is another side of the university
tributes to Cardinal MERCER which
must not be overlooked.
Most Of the older American colleges
and universities owe their beginnings
to religious impulses which, to put 1t
mildly, were not friendly to Rome.
Their founders were Protestants, fire.
quently defiantly Protestant. Each Of
these institutions was bound more or
less closely to one or another Chris
tian sect severed from the papal COM
munion. These allegiances lasted for
many years, and even to-day not
few alumni instinctively associate
Such-apd-Such with Presbyterians,
So-and-so with the Baptist teaching,
Goodoldthisandthat with the Congre-
gational brethren, and so on. Actually
the universities long ago outgrew Sec
tarianlsm. Inslstence on titularly
Reverend presidents has become
memory. The theological schools are
overshadowed by other schools In
numbers, fame, and jntramural influ-
ence. Yet the traditions of sectarian-
ism have maintained themselves out
side the academic walls in an aston
lshing way.
They cannot survive the comforting
Of degrees on our eminent guest, and
his acceptance Of these honors. il
the catholicism Of American universi-
ties, their freedom from sectarian-
ism, their splendid independence in
the pursuit of knowledge, has been
in question here or elsewhere. their
new relations with Cardinal MERc1ER
have conclusively shown their true
position, while his sincere thanks, so
simply and effectively expressed, for
the dlgnities conferred on him, have
revealed the high regard he has for
them. Scholarship, In truth, knows
no creed, no bounds, no petty rank,
and the freedom of true scholarship
has been the keystone of the crafty
ing exhibitions in which the heroic
Cardinal MERCER and representative
universities of the United States nave
been concerned.

THEY CAN REGISTER.
Temporary Absence From Home Does
Not Cost the Ballot.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: In
THE Sum this morning appears this
paragraph relating to the registration for
the November election and enrolment
for the Presidential primaries next
spring.
Qualified voters, who alone may regis
ter and enroll. are described by the cleo
tion law as follows:
"A qualified voter is a citizen who is
or will be on the day OF election twenty
one years Of age and who has been an
inhabitant Of the State for one year
next preceding the election. and for the
last four months q resident of the
county and for the last thirty days q
resident of the election district In which
he or she offers his or her vote"
Fow will this law affect those who
gave UP their residences here and went
to France in the closing years Of the
Great War. being absent for more than
a year and returning to this country less
than twelve months preceding the COM
ing election?
Presumably those who served in the
army and navy will not be deprived OF
their rights Of suffrage, but what Is the
status of the thousands of men and
women who went abroad as workers in
the Red Cross, Y. NJ. c. A., Knights of
Columbus and other auxiliary services?
Can they register, enroll and vote?

Cardinal Mercer in Universities of
America.

Columbia University conferred an
honorary degree on Cardinal MERoIEk
yesterday, thus enrolling him among
her alumni and adding her own name
to the impressive roster of American
institutions of education which have
chosen this method to record the
honor In which the Belgian prelate
is held on account OF his public works
for the good not only of his fellow
countrymen, but Of mankind.
An interesting aspect of these cere-
monials has been the enthusiasm with
which the exercises have been marked
and the singular freedom of Ameri-
can universities from sectarian pref
udice which they have demonstrated,
This is the more Interesting because
during Cardinal MERoIER's visit his
ecclesiastical character has been
strongly emphasized, and IL any sug-
gestion of intolerance were discerri-
BILE 1t would be brought to .the fore at
this time.
Primarily, of course. these NANTES.

Mr. Lane rs Charm

Assuming that in the absence of the
President 1t was advisable to choose
the chairman Of the Industrial Con-
ference from the Cabinet, 1t will be
generally agreed that the selection of
Secretary FRANKLIN X. LANE is a
happy one. There may be some other
member of the Administration better
equipped in experience and tempera-
ment, but II there is his superior
qualities have not been publicly exhib-
tied. Mr.. LANES eight years Of SER
vice as an Interstate Commerce Com
missioner during the Administrations
of Presidents ROOSEVELT and TAFT
should have made him familiar with
many of the problems which will come
before the meetings over which he will
preside.
If it had been deemed wise to
choose from the Cabinet a business
man for the craftsmanship of the con-
ference there would have been no
choice except Mr.. REDFIELp. He is
the only business man, as the term Is
commonly applied, In Mr.. WILSON'S
official family. Secretaries LANSING,
BAKER, GREGORY and BURLEsoN are
lawyers by profession. Secretaries
GLASS and DANIELS were printers and
newspaper proprietors. Mr.. HoUsToS,
like his chief, was n college professor.
Secretary WILSON was Il miner and
an organizer of unions. Mr.. LANE,
before his appointment by President
ROOSEVELT to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was in turn re-
porter, newspaper editor and pro-
prletor, and lawyer.
Whatever may be the fruits of the
conference. we feel sure. that none
will have cause tohcomplain Of lack
of fairness or intelligence on the part
Of the chair.

Costs of Compensation Insurance.

Our New York system of State com
pensation insurance has been in oper-
alton only q few years; yet it Is
maintained by those urging insurance
exclusively in the Stnte fund that EN-
ployers who have been insuring with
stock companies could have saved al
ready S20.0Oo,00o by using only the
State fund. This is the basis for a
persistent demand that nothing but
State insurance be permitted.
II the influences which are demand
ing exclusive State insurance can save
those millions of dollars for employ
ers, at the same time giving as satis-
factory a service, why do they need
legislation to compel employers to use
only the State fund? Why couldn't
they get all employers into the State
fund merely by proving to them how
much money they could save without
offsetting disadvantage. to themselves
or to their employees?
New York business men, II there
are no other considerations, are not
likely to overlook the chance TO save
$40, 100000 in few years and hun
dreds of millions of dollars In several
years. They are more likely TO grab
it and hug it jealousy. 1t is incredi-
BILE that they would deliberately throw
away millions of dollars a year In
needless premiums if they were con-
vinced that the millions really were
thrown away.

LINCOLN. The issue In 1920 Is likely
to be whether the Republic shall en-
dure adhering to Its traditional policy
of Americanism, or shall depart from
it's historic international and domes-
tic policies, to follow the path of in
ternal autocracy and external med
dlesomeness into which the Demo-
cratic party Is striving to thrust 1t.
The outcome of the election will be as
far reaching nationally and interna-
tionally as the result Of the balloting
in 1896, when reputation was for
ever rejected by the voters Of Amer
lea, and notice was given to the world
that the United States would pay Its
debts in the coin 1t had borrowed.
To meet the issue to be faced next
year the Republican party will have
need OF the strength and energy and
wisdom of every believer in straight
out Americanlsm. No citizen of New
York can raise his voice In party coun-
ellis unless he Is enrolled, and no citizen
can enroll for the April primaries of
1920 unless he registers this week.
The registration places will be open
to-day, tomorrow, and Friday, from
8 o'clock in the afternoon until 1890
o'clock in the evening. On Saturday
they will be open continuously from
Z o'clock In the morning until 10 40

NAVAL DRESS.
Political Significance Of the Secretary
Daniels Officers Coat.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sh. Your
correspondents H. C. May says OF the
new model coats for naval officers pre-
scribed by Secretary Daniels against tho
advice of Admiral Sims that at a short
distance it is impossible "to tell whether
the officer wearing 1t ls chief petty
officer, an English officer. q yachtsnan
or a school janitor." Mr.. May seems to
regard this as a disadvantage Sccre-
tary Daniels does not.
From the moment he took Office Secre-
tary Daniels has sought to break the
spirit OF the navy and in the name OF
democracy" to eliminate the distinc-
tions between officers and enlisted men,
which years of experience have shown
were necessary for the maintenance of
proper discipline. The Secretary does
not understand the fact that smart, i'm
plicit and exact obedience to orders in
an emergency. on which may depend the
outcome Of naval battle, and hence the
fate of the feet and the safety OF the
nation cannot be improvised in a mo-
ment, but is the outgrowth OF yeats Of
rigid training, In which each man learns
his place and instinctively to follow the
instructions of his superior ' "'' '
Secretary Daniels is for democracy"
and as the new uniforms make comnis-
stoned officers look like warrant officers
he doubtless regards the change as a
glorious triumph over '"caste."
