THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL.

Presldent Wilson, in his appearance oeloFe the House yesterday, made an able plea for better living conditions and a reduced scale of living for all ot us. He, covered the ideal remedies Tor the situation very thoroughly. He told us all what we should do in our difficulty and accounted for some of the reasons that the difficulty was here. But, after all, he held out very httle hope that the authorities would De able to remedy matters
 Prosecution of the packers was touched upon, the sale of government supplies was explained, the reign of strikes was deplored. The only threat made was the implication that war time restrictions on food would be again adopted. This may be fruitful but we doubt it. Wartime restric- tons were all right during the war. they may be all right now, but they cannot last forever and the situation will be just as bad as al present when they are raised unless it it done very gradually.
 There is nothing to do with our troubles but grin and bear them. The vicious circle of strikes for more wages, and the boost of price by the producer is going to continue, we fear, until something gives Then we 3 hat away many of our institutions. Pos sibly we now face the "something" which must give in the railroad strike. Our time of reckoning may be at hand. We hope. that it is. Like sore tooth, our troubles will get worse, we might as well have them over as we would have the tooth out. We all have to suffer, let us do so.
 I'm the final analysis we are not too pessimistic about the matter, even though the above sounds as if we were fon the verge of despair. Humanity has survived many troubles, we will survive this one, and be sthe better off for it. It was the natural after math of the war, it is being under gone in other countries. Some of them are in far worse condition than We.
 Congress and the President must realize, though, that we will have to face the issue squarely. Halfway ~measures are useless Theory. happily couched though it may be, will be sneered at by a populace, each unit of which, labor, capital and individual. is out to garner all the cold cash that 1t may wiring from the other units. It is time that someone. prefera bIv an individual higher up, put his foot down and took active measures, either to stop the striking or Erohlbit the raising of prices, we do not care which. If President Wilson does it he will gain the thanks of the United States, labor included. It has to be done, and now is the time to do it.

BOY SCOUT SERVICE.

The Boy Scout service at the First
Methodist church last Sunday morn
ing was one Of the most appropriate
and impressive services Of the times,
intending to impress all the members
Of this organization with the respon-
sibility before them as citizens and
men. Rev. ]. H. Felts, the popular
pastor of the church, initiated the
service as a tribute to the Boy Scout
movement and in the hope that some
lesson would come out of it for the
boys who attended and participated
in it. The church was well filled and
the members of the various troops
and their scout masters were present
in uniform. Boy Scouts acted as
ushers and took the collection and
helped . the services Of the ,!ay
As the people entered the church
they We're handed little printed slip
on which was boy scout hymn set
20 the music Of Hold the Fort" the
work Of the pastor, Mr. Felts. Uuder
the words was an appropriate in
seription dedicating the hymn to Mr..
". B. Hamilton, whose love for the
Scouts is only equalled by the love Of
the Scouts for him. The sentiment Of
the hymn was especially praise
worthy, counseling the boys 10 stand
for right and to honor God and
Church and Country so that when
they arrived at manhood's estate
they could fill their places in life.
The sermon was by Mr.. Felts and
it was an especially fine talk, in
tended to reach the consciousness of
the boys who heard it. 1t made fine
impression among them and they
came away imbued with a stronger
realization Of the duty they owe
their God and country as the coming
citizens of America. The Scouts are
al grateful to Mr.. Felts for the SER
vice and the message he brought
them.

Former Made Most Wonderful
Catch of Series.
REDS PLAY ABOVE PAR BALL
Fighting Even More Sensation
ally Than Usual.
"Cincinnati/ Confident and Ag-
gressiye"-Evers.
BY Johnny EYERs.

Chicago Oct. 3.-The Reds are on
enemy territory today and they are
going to have to prove just how good
and how game u ball club they are.
They have played like real champions
in their two victorious games at home
and l expect to see them go clear thru
the series without faltering.
Slim Sallee pitched just as he has
all season and turned in exactly the
sort of game one would expect from
a veteran of his class. He is the man
who is directly responsible for the
Reds second victory. He was hit
hard, and he was willing to be. He
pitched with his head as we'll as his
foxy old left arm, and never extended
himself only when necessary. Then
he was steady as a rock. He was
master of the game every minute and
terday. the Sox don't like left handed
pitching of the Ruether and Sallee
brand.
ROush and KOpf.
Eddie Roush. with one of the most
wonderful catches ever seen in a world
in the fourth that won the game for
the Reds. were the other big men of
the Reds for the day.
Kopf's fine hit provided the break
of the game. 1t broke Williams's de-
Tense and the game was as good as
over the minute Larry MT the pail.
Groh and Duncan were on the bases
and two men were out. It was the
critical moment of the game. Kopf
delivered, two runs came across and
the SoX were beaten.
Claude williams was very wild and
unsteady. If a pitcher doesn't get
them over. the other club doesn't have
to hit They can win without hitting.
That happened yesterday. Enough
said.
Reds Above Par.
In the first two games the Reds
have even Surpassed their regular sea-
son play. They are confident and ag-
gressive. They have been a much
moderated team. Who knows but
what ] have said may come true, and
the series end in straight games? That
is almost too much to expect from any
club, but the Reds have been doing
just such things all season.
Fisher and Rariden probably will be
the Cincinnati battery today. Fisher
has been pitching wonderful ball and
has won his last eight games. He has
pitched against the Sox in the Amer
lean league and knows them. He
should prove almost effective
against them as Ruether and Sallee.
Kerr probably will pitch for the
Sox. He is a wonderful little work
man. out he is going up against big
ODDS. Game as he is he will find the
Reds had club to tamper with.
