Just What Does This Mean.

The substantial increases In the pay
Of the policemen and firemen decided
upon by the finance .and budget COM
mittee of the Board Of Estimate will
be approved generally by the citizens
OF New York. THE Sun is naturally
much pleased at this promise of fairer
treatment for the deserving forces OF
municipal protection.
We observe in Comptroller CRAIG's
statement with regard to the increase
of salaries in the case of the city's
civil employees, within fixed limits
and at the discretion of the heads OF
departments, this qualification:
at was clearly understood that de-
partment heads are not expected to
give increases to employees whose
services in their judgment are not
worth IL
The scope and bearing and intent
of this reservation ought to be as
clearly understood by the public as
Mr.. CRAIG says it is understood by
the members of the finance and budget
committee.
1t will readily be perceived how an
abuse of this veto power on Increases
and this discrimination by individual
judgment Of merit, might be made an
instrument Of compulsion which any
political machine would be overjoyed
to exercise. A..
If not necessary in the case of the
patrolmen and firemen. why necessary
in the case Of other classes of munic,
ipal employees?

Ruth the Home Run Man.

Whatever else this eventful year
has failed in it must be credited with
a new record in the most individual
istic angle of baseball, for Mr.. RUTH
of the Boston Americans has done
something that nobody else ever did.
He has made twenty-eight home runs
In q season In a major league.
1t may mean nothing to a Peruvian
professor of Icelandic languages that
a man is able to hit sphere of rub
Der, string and leather so hard with
a piece of wood that he can touch
three bases ninety feet apart and get
home before the ball is returned to
the place of impact; but it means a
lot to Americans. And the interest
in a man who can make twenty-eight
home runs in a season is not twenty
eight times greater than in a player
who can make one: 1t Is $4,000 times
greater.
The early history of the home run,
unlike so many other great accom-
plishments of mankind. is not lost in
the mists of the ages. Every baseball
enthusiast knows about ED WILLIAM
SON, who made twenty-seven four
base hits i'd 1884, and JOHN FREEMAN,
who larruped the leather to the limit
twenty-five times in 1899. 1t is the
records of these Olympians that
GEORGE RUTH has surpassed this year,
putting himself on the same plane, in
the minds of thousands Of youths,
with General PERsHINa and the King
Of the Belgians.
The home run is the acme of mag
nificent individualism in baseball. II
is philanthropic in that 1t helps those
who are ahead. on bases 1t Is self.
sufficient in that 1t does not rely on
, the man who follows. 1t Is cruel in
that 1t breaks the heart Of the oppos'
ing outfield. 1t is kind in that 1t gives
the wretched pitcher time 10 stoke ur
with fresh chewing gum.

GERMAN TRADE TRIUMPHS
WIN Eighty -four Hours Production
Win, or Forty Hoursi

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: 1t
would be well IL every worker in this
country capable of reading and think
ing were carefully to consider your
editorial article "Germany's New Trade
Triumphs" in THE SUN Of September "a.
Those who are at all familiar with
general merchandise and the conditions
under which it is manufactured here
and abroad know that American labor
seeking to produce less at higher cost,
cannot hope to compete in the worlds
markets after the temporary abnormal
shortage has been supplied.
To-day the world is short Of all kinda
of manufactured goods. The condition
is SO acute that the selling price is Of
small account. To-day America can
sell all her surplus at almost any price.
When this abnormal scarcity shall have
been supplied competition will begin.
1t Is an undisputed fact that Germany
has always aided IL not directed the
commercial activities Of its subjects.
To-day the need OF industrial progress
In Germany is greater than ever. Is 1t
not reasonable to presume that the new
Government In Germany will do every
thing in It's power to speed up produc-
ton and reach out for foreign trade?
I see German workmen putting in
twelve hour days. ind in some parts
of the country seven days a week.
Eighty-four hours a week productions
Contrast this with the demands Of
American workmen for forty hour
weeks and in some instances even less.

danger ahead or will he wait until ne
is laid off or put on halt time before he

sion that he will have brought upon
himself and his country? X Y. z.

New Workers VIII Pay the Bill.

The buses now running over the

lines in this city do not issue trans
fers to car lines or to other bus lines.
Their passengers using more than one
conveyance must pay two full fares.
When the Eighth and Ninth ave-

The street railroad companies, run
ming as independents, may not get
enough passengers to pay their oper-
ating expenses. The public certainly
will lose the benefits of the transfer
system.
