Decoration Day will be remembered
for some years by the members OF
the Westminster White SoX base
ball team, who invited the PatapscO
ball club to play an exhibition game
before they started their Southern
trip for the season. Well, we won't
the scores. There were two
games and the PatapscO men did play
ball. The White SoX players looked
like a child chasing a toy balhnn
over a field when Patapsco was ct
the bat One White SoX said, they
were loaded for us and then they
had those Spencers in the game too y
We advise the White SOX not to pick
on Patapsco for something easy.
Public opinion is very strongly in
favor of an early return of the rail-
roads to their owners, as shown by
the vote of nearly 5000 editors of
daily and weekly newspapers through
out the country. A QUESTIONABLE sent
to every editor in the country (13,424)
brought replies from 1922, or A per
cent, and SO per cent of the editors re-
ported their communities in favor Of
a resumption of private management.
The QUESTIONABLE was conducted on
behalf of the Association of Railway
Executives, and was completed before
President Wilson announced in his
recent message to Congress that the
Government would relinquish control
Of the railways at the end of the year.
