Griff Also After Reds.

Higgins is going to Lave a lot of
competition in trying to hook up with
the Reds, however, as the Boston Red
SoX, who again expected to return to
angling for this plum, and Manager
Griffith of the Nationals today ad-
mitted he also is hopeful of arrang-
ing a string of exhibitions with Garry
Herrmann's title holders. Griff plans
to get into communication with the
management of the Reds with this
end in view and asserts that If he is
successful he will abandon Augusta,
Ga. where the Nationals have trained
for the past three years, and take his
team to Pensacola, Fla, from which
town he has received an attractive
offer
Griff'S chances of getting lined up
with the Reds in what should prove a
highly lucrative series may be regard
ed as rather slim, even though he were
to take his athletes to Pensacola, for
this place is located almost at the
extreme western end of Florida close
to the northernmost limits of the state
and practically adjoining Louisiana,
while Miami is on the east coast close
to the southernmost point of the
peninsula. The Yankees, at Jackson
vile, will be much better situated to
join forces with the Reds.
Griff's only reason for considering a
switch from Augusta to Pensacola is to
get several hundred miles closer to the
base of the Reds in the event of arrang
ing games with them, but he says it is
not yet assured that he will return to
Augusta even if the plan for playing
Moran's team goes awry. Griff has been
invited to esta blish his spring base at
Shreveport, La. where Billy Smith does
business with his Texas League outfit.
He is considering the proposal. but the
chances are that the almost perfect
weather and training conditions thai
have prevailed at Augusta for the past
three years will influence him to return
there. The understanding he has with
the school which controls the ball park
at Augusta will allow him to 60 back
there without any new contract being
entered into

EADE4N MATINEE DAILY
1.-THE. MIRACLE MAN"
New-York tribune., 1919-06-21
The Soviet Mailing List

The average American has a sporting
instinct that leads him to object to hit
ting below the belt And it seems to him
that it is such hitting to publish such
a mailing list as was found in the ar
chives of the Martens Bolshevist bureau
in New York
No evidence is adduced that the per-
sons named were consulted or that their
consent was asked before they were in
cluded. The catalogue might have been
made up by any one who reads the news
papers and reflects the inevitable mis-
takes to be expected under such circum-
stances of preparation. The Overman
list, which included names that should
have been omitted, was cruelty unfair
in some of it's stigmatizations, and it is
surprising that the offence is again
committed.
A man is entitled to his day in court
and to be protected in his good name
unless there is definite evidence against
him. Perhaps most of the men and
women brought under suspicion deserve
what has come to them, but it is still
proud boast of our law that it is bet
ter for the guilty to escape than for the
innocent to suffer. In crises it is neces-
sary to take short cuts to justice, but
the Bolshevist evil is hardly menacing
enough to call for extraordinary meas
ures.
Yet in one respect the publication Of
the list will work to the public's advan-
tage. The Bolshevists and semi-Bolshe-
visits learn that some one in the Boil
shevist bureau has an idea whittier they
are headed, and if clerk OF Martens
knows so do others. Men must choose.
They cannot support American democ-
racy and Russian Bolshevism at the same
time.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-21
An Obsolete Horror

It seems too good to be true that the
old Postoffice Building is nearing its
end. Yet at the rate taste in archi-
lecture has been developing in our be-
loved land the "day" of this fine old
horror must sooner or later arrive.
Why not now? The Board of Estimate
is said to be agreed in wishing the build
ing razed Is it too much to hope that
our Federal authorities will presently
bow to local sentiment and the eternal
fitness of things and agree to remove
themselves elsewhere?
The Federal Building is the essence
Of that strange blindness to visual
beauty that swept over the Western
world about the middle of the last CEN
tury. Purtanism is sometimes spoken
of as the parent Of this era of awful
ness. But on the surface of the record,
at least, this is gross SANDER. Puri
tanism reigned in New England, for in
stance, from 1920 on, yet for two whole
centuries with the loveliest of home
architecture-a shade sober and severe,
pC1uopO, OAt CASCOu1I1SlJ WCAl PAOpO1-
toned and sound of line-quite as good
as Southern Colonial architecture that
knew not Puritanism.
The Postoffice Building dates from
late motif-that -Victorianism that
was not only virtuous but pompous and
pretentious as we'll. AS long as Puri-
tanism was genuinely simple in it's
standards it seems to have done we'll in
building. Only when piety went sour
and was transformed into prosperous
pharisaism did it begin to develop
bulbous protuberances of line. 1t was
the favorite jest of the British weeklies
during the war that the Germans could
be more than forgiven the destruction
of the Prince Albert Memorial via Zep-
pelin. Our local Federal Building is it's
moral equivalent in the Western world
Now that Zeppelins are no more, cannot
common sense and good taste accomplish
the same welcome deed?
New-York tribune., 1919-06-21

saving. The psychology of cows and
laborers proved slow to readjust itself.
Many farmers solved the difficulty by
operating their farms by sun time. But
where their production was obliged to
connect with train schedules this system
gave much trouble
The problem of the farm is dis
tinctly difficult one that must be recog-
nized. But when convenience, health
and economy for the great majority are
at stake it would certainly seem no more
than just that the farmer should be
asked to make every efforS to solve his
peculiar problem without injuring the
rest Of the nation. There are exceed
lngly able brains among the farming
leaders, mon who see the welfare Of the
country as whole. Before next spring,
will not the Senate and the House call
into consultation such men as Henry
Wallace, of Iowa, and take common coun-
sci as to solution? Train schedules can
surely be revised to meet considerable
body OF opposition. Perhaps other meas
ures could be taken to reduce the bur-
den placed upon the farmer.
What we urge is a get-together spirit
that will end the present out-and-out
conflict. analyze the faults of the present
daylight saving and save just as much of
its undoubted benefits as possible.
