 Many were the footsteps and steer ing wheels turned toward Hyde park Monday afternoon about the time the game between the local baseball team and the Monson nine was to begin. Threatening skies caused many opin- ions as to how long the game would last, but the rain drops held off and eight and half innings of good ball playing took place. This game was really won in the third inning and the way the four runs were made is de- serving of an explanation. Bolieau was the first man to bat and singled. Wise followed with a hit advancing Bolieau to second. Gilman was put out for Rudolph. Webber laid a neat bunt toward third advancing both men <%iiu AOoSA1A6 AAoC D1Ckcy then raised one which the right fielder let slip through his glove and Bolieau raced home. Dupre singled through short sending Wise and Webber in Smith, next at bat, brought Dickey in. He was put out after reaching first. Calchera was struck out and the big gest inning was closed. The seventh inning came near to being repetition of the third for three runs were made in it. Gilman opened the inning with tWo-base hit and it was finished when Smith, after making three base hit to the arbor, was put out at the plate. Smith, who now comes from Talcottville, was a former Staf- ford player, and knowing the rivalry between our team and Monson, was glad to have a part in this years series. The Monson lads worked hard, but they could not very we'll solve Wise's delivery, making but three hits dur ing the game. This victory gives Stafford the series, for it is their third in four games.

The boys are very thank full for the way this band turned out to help them win both games. The pep it put into them had no small share in the winning of the game. Cerago was on the mound for our team and again proved his sterling quality by allow
 ing only three hits in twelve innings. Stafford has no need for hired bat tery this year, for with Gilman behind the Lat and either Wise or Cerago pitching the opponents are putting up a losing fight. The locals reached the Monson moundsman for nine hits, hut were not able to get man over home ase till the twelfth inning. Smith reached first on a single and found it easy to steal two bases while Huden and Calchera were being put cut.

can merchant fieet--that is, putting the
feet on the seas-will have to be done
by the new Congress. 1t must authorize
the payment of subsidies or subventions
to enable the American owner to COM
pete with the foreign owner or virtually
every ship that has been built will be
sold abroad and will fly the flag of for
eign nation.
The present shipping laws are made
quate. Under them what little shipping
we had on the Pacific disappeared before
we entered the war. So long as there is
scarcity of shipping we may be able
to worry along in competition with other
nations, but the moment the world re-
turns to peace conditions the disintegra-
tion Of the great merchant fleet which
is built or contracted for will begin
unless Congress acts to prevent it.
The intelligent revision of the ship
ping laws is one of the most important
tasks before the new Congress. We as
sumo that the members of the Commit
tee on the Merchant Marine are already
considering a Legislative program and
will be ready to announce it in the near
future.

WHAT P.R.T. FIGURES INDICATE

IF THE population of this city had in
! = creased as rapidly in the last eight
years as the passenger receipts of the
p. r. T. this would be community of
2,500,000 persons.
from $1s,O0O,OOO to $3O,O0O,O0O, or sixty
six and two-thirds per cent-a remark
ably good showing. The population has
increased less than thirty-three and one
third per cent.
The P. R. T. is carrying 2,240,000 pas
! sengers a day, or 100000 more than in
1917.
These figures are an illuminating reve-
lation Of the growing business activity of
Philadelphia. The bigger the city gets to
be the more frequently do it's citizens
ride on the street cars.
= Eight years ago there was less than
one fare a day collected for each inhabi-
tant. Last year more than one and
third fares was collected from each in
habitant. In 1925 this will probably
grow to two fares.
Every Improvement in transportation
makes new business. If it is easy for
people to get about the city they will
get about. If it is difficult they will stay
at home.
No forecast of probable increase in
business following the opening of a new
car line on the surface or above or below
It has ever been optimistic enough. And
& no growing city has car lines enough to
meet the demand.
There is no reason to justify pessi-
mism iR the P. R. T. management. If
it will continually improve its service the
people will continue to pour their nickels
into its Golfers.

TNHE government wrote about fifteen
= billion dollars worth of insurance for
its soldiers and sailors and virtually
doubled the amount of insurance car
ried by the citizens of this country.
It is now planning to change the war
risk policies. into ordinary life policies of
the variousA Minds issued by the private
companies. The Treasury Department
has approved the forms Of the new poll
cies and the soldiers will soon be asked
to adjust their insurance to peace basis.
If the soldiers consent the government
will soon be conducting the biggest in
surance business in the world.
s It is not likely that any one antici-
pated this sort of thing when the war
began, unless it were the man who de-
vised the ,war-risk insurance plan. If
the government continues in the bust
ness it will be because it has drifted into
it and cannot very well drift out of it.
Congress will probably have something
to say on the subject before many
months have passed.

BUREAUCRACY RUN MAD

THE Cincinnati Times-Star, owned by
- brother Of former President Taft
has raised point in connection with the
ruling of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment on the alcoholic content of nom
Intoxicating beer which will commend
itself to every business man who has
dealings with governments departments.
There is no definition of an intoxicat
ing beverage in the wartime prohibition
law. Whether it was omitted deliber-
ately or by inadvertence does not mat
ter. 1t is not there. The Internal Reve-
nue. Department has assumed the power
to make a definition of it's own and it
has ruled that beverage containing
more than one-half of one per cent of
alcohol is intoxicating. The experience
of experts is that beer with two and
three-fourths per cent Of alcohol is not
Intoxicating, and Elihu Root has advised
the brewers to disregard the ruling of
the government bureau.
The question at issue is not whether a
certain content of alcohol makes a drink
intoxicating, but whether a bureau has
the right to fix an arbitrary limit in the
absence of any definite authority of law.
The Internal Revenue Department has
merely followed long-established prece-
dent in this matter. The Postoffice De-
partment has for years made arbitrary
rulings on the postal laws, from which
there has been no appeal; and the COL
lectors of customs have done the same.
In the customs department, however,
provision is made for an appeal, but
those who have dealings with other
bureaus have had to adjust themselves to
the views of the little officials who set
up their own judgment on the meaning
Of the law and have supplied out of their
own consciousness all omissions made by
Congress.
If the protests against the arbitrari-
ness of the Internal Revenue Bureau
shall lead to sweeping reform in this
matter even the extreme prohibtionist
ought to be glad that they have been
made.

THE MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS

sTHE tribute which DR.. Edward P.
Davis, president of the Volunteer
Medical Corps, pays to that organization,
which is to be dissolved on April /, is
thoroughly well deserved. 1t was not
snowy role which these fifty-six thou
sand physicians played, but civilian
health during the war profted largely
by their accomplishments, and their aid
TO the military branches of the service
was also comprehensive and valuable.
When peace is signed and the country
settles down it is inevitable that the pres
ervation of the public health will play
an Increasingly larger part in the gov
ernment's activities. In this connection
It is significant that the surgeon general
win retain the list of all the doctors who
were members of this corps for consid-
Grafton should future emergencies arise.
The stimulus to patriotic public service
which these men gave does not by any
means pass with the dissolution of their
snergetic corps.

they aren't moved by artificial fear OF
any invasion of our national rights and
the Monroe Doctrine.
Since the polling began there have
been few persons unable to strike unerr-
ingly, by the power Of instinct, at the
essentials of the matter. They want
their boys at home. They think that
selfish men have debased the spirit Of
nationalism in every country for their
own crazy ends. They believe the Presi
dent is trying to serve humanity. And
they want to help him serve humanity
if they can.
That is pretty good Americanism. :,
Instinct tells every thinking American
that if there are to be more wars we
shall not be able to escape them. In
that they are right. Europe is pros
trate. 1t is questionable whether any
army in western Europe will ever again
fight for causes which it does not clearly
understand.
But there are few nations left that
are still fresh and eager for conquest
and empire. They can be tied down
by moral obligations alone, first because
they would fear the antagonism of the
rest Of mankind and again because civil
lied men, though they may always refuse
to war for the profit of cliques, will
defend to the end of time the sort of
moral principle that Mr.. Wilson and his
associates at Paris are trying to embody
in the plan for league of nations.
Unpretentious people in the streets of
this city sense this. Sooner or later
realization Will dawn in the Senate.
