VENDERS BOTHER FANS.
Sad Effects OF Commercial Activity
at Ban Games.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: A
practice which should be abolished at
the local ball park Is the selling of score
cards. peanuts, cigarettes. chewing gum
and soda water during the game. The
boys who peddie these things while the
game 10 In progress obstruct the view OF
spectators.
The obstruction is bad enough In IT
self. but there is another fault to be
found with the boys. In an effort 70
sell their goods they bawl out the con-
tents Of their baskets at the top OF their
voices and drown out the announcement
from the umpire whether the ball which
the pitcher has Just delivered is ball
or q strike. Some of the umpires use
such peculiar motions to indicate what
the pitch Is that often 1t is impossible
to determine which way the arbiter has
decided. But IL the hand Ia quicker
than tho eye the ear is not SO easily
deceived.
OF course a bail game is not ball
game without peanuts and soda water,
and one must have a score card to keep
score. These things are essential and
could not be sacrificed, but the spectators
should not be interfered with.
l would suggest as remedy that the
score cards should be sold before the
game only, and that the other wares,
such al peanuts and soda water, should
only be sold between the innings, as
candy is sold during the inteTmission in
the theatres. The boys could sit down
at the end of the aisies, and when the
inning WAS over get right on the lob
am sure that It would be n satisfactory
arrangement for all hands, and nobody
would he inconvenienced as at the pres
ent time. p. NUT.

NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION.
No Authority for the ones Called For
BY the League Covenant.

To THE EprroR or TIE sur-sir' The
Constitution does not specify what Of
fences are impeachable. But there Is
one offence which beyond question Ia
q high crime and misdemeanor. That
tho Constitution by usurping powers not
granted thereby.
Now where In the Constitution Is
there any power granted to the Presi-
dent or Senate or any or all Of the de-
partments OF the Government 40 create
an office such as the covenant of the
League Of Nations contemplstes, namely.
an ONCE with authority to sanction or
veto at discretion the imposition upon
the people Of the United States OF a
decree by the Zig Five" or dozen, II
you will, who are to compose the coun-
ell of the League? Our representative
authority in the case. for example, OF
the admission Of q new member TO the
League. or Of q proposed boycott or
embargo against q recalcitrant member
or q neutral nation.
II we keep faith with the covenant
no future Senate will have any voice In
binding us TO such new ally. and Con-
gress and the President nothing TO say
about the embargo. Other examples OF
the power thus conferred upon an in
dividual may be found In the covenant.
The veto power OF our representative
has been in some quarters accepted AZ
solution Of the difflculty of subordi-
mating the United States to the decisions
OF that council. But II II only subor-
dinating this nation to tho decision OF
our representative in the council. He
could not be punished for the way he
might vote any more than the Presi-
dent could be impsached for refusing
to permit Congress to assemble during
the critical months past.
The proposition Is to pledge the honor
Of the nation to a covenant which 10
not binding on the nation. and which.
IL unconstitutional, cannot be kept or
enforced. will not be the supreme law Of
the land. Every individual. from the
President down to the least Of the citi-
gems Of the United States, ought. to be
scrupulously jealous for the honor Of
the nation. and above all for the integ-
rity and sacredness Of the Constitution.
One may tremble for both of them when
We see the Senate forced into the trial
OF their faithfulness by the situation,
created apparently with intention. that
they choose between delaying peace or
violating their solemn and first duty
tc defend the Constitution.

1t Is not difficult to understand some
enthusiasms not shared; that men
who ordinarily conduct themselves
with occurrences should become howl
ing madmen at football game, or that
sober sided fellows of the downtown
district should yell their hard heads
on bidding up into the thousands for
a doughnut sold by a Salvation Lassie
for the benefit OF her army. These
things arc understandable. But how
about the Bronx riot In partisan DEM
onstration for a favorite lecturer on
war? Mozart! That benches ana
electric lights should be smashed. in
terror decorations mussed up, police OBJ
jectors mauled because a favorite art
lecturer was retired for an unknown
substitute bespeaks either a tempera-
ment Of unsuspected warmth or a
passionate possibility in art lectures
hitherto unrevealed by lecturers who
nave come under more general obser-
walton.

GRIP ON RAILROADS,
NEW HOUSE PLAN
Chairman Esch Has Measure
Differing From That of
Senator Cummins.
Special Despatch to The suS

WAsHlNGToN, May %. Chairman
Esch (Wis) of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee is beginning prep
aration Of measure to handle the rail-
road situation upon which his committee
will soon begin hearings. 1t was learned
to-day that this plan will affect not only
the railroads but will provide for the ex-
tension OF the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Committee 10 the wire sys-
TENS after they are returned to private
ownership.
The powers of the commission over the
wire systems would be practically identi-
cal with those planned for the railroads
Mr.. Esch said, particularly as to the rate
making and rate adjusting function OF
that body. Under the proposed measure
local telephone rates would not be under
the jurisdiction of the commission just
as intrastate railroad rates are not.
The Esch bill will place large powers
OF supervision of the railroads in the
hands OF the commission in addition TO
restoring all Of the powers of which that
body was shorn when Government oper-
alton OF the roads was inaugurated.

This city has twenty-three Repre-
sentatives in Congress and only one
Of them Voted against the suffrage
resolution on Wednesday. The ex-
ception was the Hon DANIEL. ]. RIoR-
BAN, the third most distinguished resi-
dent Of Oliver street. The other Tam
many Representatives either voted
for the resolution or were paired for
It, but RoRDAS prevented the Hall
from appearing to be a unit on the
subject. 1t is evident that Governor
SMITHS friend and neighbor did not
seek the consensus of opinion of the
Tammany delegation. but took his
philosophy straight from that other
friend and neighbor of the Governor,
the Hon. THOMAS r. FoLEr, who has
not yet been converted to the belief
that women should vote.

A Texas youngster preparing for
college whose name was unknown
through print or other fundamentally
of fame outside Of his preparatory
school was discovered by a major
league scout to have a remarkable
faculty for keeping his eye on a
pitched baseball, and therefore to hit
II with a bat. A Georgia schoolboy,
not yet advanced to preparatory school
honors, Is able to keep his eye on a
teed golf ball, and therefore to hit It
with golf club. The names OF these
two young men are to-day familiar
throughout a continent to schoolboys
and to millions OF older boys who may
have forgotten or never known the
name of the man who taught the
WRIGHT brothers that fight could be
made in a heavier than air machine.
II Is time for those who study this
sort of thing to tell us something
definite about this recently discovered
way Of achieving fame which places
steadiness Of sight so far above great
ness of brain or Drawn; a gift ac-
claimed and envied by the general.

Too Generous. Says Denmark.

That the small ma tons are not all con-
sumed with a burning desire for mere
extension of territorial possessions
is shown by several recent instances.
Soon after the signing of the armis-
tice Switzerland refused to entertain
the overtures of number of south
ern Baden districts bordering the
Rhine for incorporation as northern
canton of the Republic. A few days
ago the people of the Austrian crown
land of Vorarlberg voted to be an
nexed to Switzerland. The Swiss
Government replied that the people
would take a vote on the question,
but 1t did not give the Vorarlbergers
much hope that their request for an
nexation would be granted.
A still more interesting instance is
furnished by the action Of the Dan
ish Government regarding the restora-
tlon Of Schleswig to Denmark. To
the Danes Schleswig and Holstein,
two Of their southern provinces which
We're appropriated by Prussia In 1886,
have constituted another Alsace and
Lorraine. The provinces in question
were taken by BISMARCK to carry out
his plan for a Prussian stronghold on
the North Sea. There was an explicit
provision in the treaty that the peo-
pie should have the right of self-de-
termination, but the provision was
abrogated by n secret understanding
between Germany and Austria. BIs-
MARcK declared that n plebiscite was
unnecessary, as the representations
