THE BASEBALL SCANDAL

Tho baseball scandal liz even worse than had
been hinted. The Idols not only have feet or
clay but feet that are encrused with tho muck
and miro OF crmnailty Too bad Too bndl
Time alone II capable OF measuring tho fun
effect tho disclosures OF the last few days will
have on tho great sport. II TO us that
public interest In the approaching worlds series
will be much less than OF yoro. There will be
skeptlcism in the minds OF those watching the
play on the diamond. when a player wobblos
as the best and ceanest OF them will unbdden
there will steal into tho mind the ugly thought
that he too may have found a roll OF bills under
his pillow.
1t has been tho boast OF the newspaper fra
ternity that baseball sport that had
main It's freedom from the gambling ele-
mcnts that ruined boxing. horse racing and
other sports It Is depressing to be assured
that we were only fooling ourselves and being
fooled by the crooks.
And yet 1t IS possible to look forward with
hope TO sort OF renaissance OF public confi-
dence In baseball. Manager comiskey in in

as 1t was reaching out for primacy. gave ovi-
donco Of hls determination to purify the snort

his confession. Jackson carrying in his face tho
look OF a wounded animal, the remnant of the
wrecked White Sox clan holding a dinner in
celebration OF their segregation from the sus-
pects these Incidents that will fasten
themselves on the minds OF players as yet
qlean will discourage new players frsm ever
yielding to temptation.
The crooks who gave the bribes we hope to
see given the fun limit OF the law. As between
a bribe glver and bribe taker It is difficult
to make choice; but our condemnation falls on
the brbe giver because tho offer must come
from him in the very nature of things
The World hopes very earnestly that the great
American sport will come from the crucible
purified and endure for decades. II is one OF
the glories OF America. Young America would
be lost without It.

NOT GOOD AMERICANIsM

The esteemed Ada News takes exception to
tho New York Sun and Heralds observation
that all foreign-born groups OF Americafscu-
Gems arc for Senator Harding The News with
characteristic bourbon prejudice does not dis
pute the fact but argues from It that Senator
Harding is dangerous to American ideals and
traditions.
We think II IL quite oulpable for genuine
Americans to question tho sincerity OF foreign
born citizens for those foreign born citizens
to divide their allegiance with those countries
from whence they came. one les a fault quite
as bad as the other
Why shouldn't the foreign born American
citizen favor the election of Senator Harding
standing as ne does on platform unalterably
pledged TO American institutions and opposed
to foreign influences? Our foreign born citi-
sens came to these shores to escape partIcIpa-
tion in European politics and It's consequent
everlasting demand upon their first born.
They, perhaps even more earnestly than we

main free and independent of European in.
fluencos; know the lamontablc consequences Of
European politics; desire that the role Of their
adopted country shall be to hold high the beacon
light Of liberty for the benefit of the oppressed
in other lands.
II wac rather abundantly proven during the
recent war that no class OF our citizenship was
more intensly loyal than those OF foreign birth.
They gave OF their time their money and their
own flesh and blood, And this class stands
today among those most vehemently opposed 10
the league with its inevitable alliance with old
world politics and politicians Not as the bour-
rbons would have us believe. because rejection OF
the treaty might possibly aid Germany but be
cause rejection OF it will save America.
To attribute base motives to the foreign born
citizen because he champions the republican
cause, II that is fact. Is to do that class OF
citizens irreparablo injury and discourage then
in their loyalty to the land OF their adoption.

even though sinister forces seem TO
be at work I'm causing financial de-
preston and fluctuating markets.
The United States is now said to
be subject to a rule that will hasten
the most tremendous and far-reach-
ing enterprises.
There is for the National Capital
the forecast OF great artistic de-
yelopment and rapid growth. Much
building of the most costly type
| seems to be indicated by the stars.
Uranus is in a place that should
encourage clear vision concerning
the counry's needs. so that move
ments toward the betterment of So
cial conditions will probably null
tiply.
Although there may be a deeper
interest in the finer ambitions of
humanity, the seers declare that al
the real progress must come from
within and not from without. This
means that the time when the
wealthy can accomplish real good
by endowments and by old-time
methods Of philanthropic effort is
long past.
Saturn frowns again. and is read
as boding i'll for rulers of the ancient
forms OF government. Kings may
lose their thrones. Norway is one
OF the countries that may now be
seriously disturbed.
Thrones are supposed to be in
danger because the eliminating po-
siuon Of Neptune in sextile to Mer-
curry and in trine to Mars denoted
democratic popular movements.
Race questions will be prominent
from this time on, but only good can
come to the oppressed or the less
fortunate peoples as the new era
advances.
Tho seers prophesy thatthere will
be an extraordinary type of beauty
noticeable. in the rising generation.
American women are to reach a
standard that will make them as
famous as their Greek sisters Of an
cient times, If the stars are read
Alright.
Persons whose birthdate It is
have the augury OF a happy, SUI
cossful year in which they come into
d sense OF harmony with all their
lif0s demands.
Children born on this day are
likely to be exceedingly gifted. They
may be vivacious and apparently
careless, but they will have the
greatest possibilities.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SHIPPING ACT

There arc those who have very earnestly de-
Tended the president against the oft repeated
charge that ho lis autooratlc, disrcgardful OF
constitutional limitations his authority and
despouo In his manner OF thinking and acting
Many excellent people have felt called on to
hold brief for Mr., Wilson in this respect
We should like for these people to express
their opinion of tho presidents action with ref
ereEce to the Jones shipping act; we should
like very much to have their Views concerning
his reasoning.
The Jones shipping act was one of the laws
enacted during the last session OF congress
Section % OF the law required the president to
give notice to all nations concerned that exist
ing troatrics. repugnant to It's provisions, would
be terminated on a certain date and new agree
ments required The president was instructed
TO carry out this provision on or before Sep.
tomber g.
Tho period elapsed without his performing
the duty laid upon him by uklaw Later he
announced his determination TO disregard the
law altogether His reasons are interesting
Read them:
on the point Of consu,utlonality, Admin
istrauon officials assert that congress lacks
competency to enforce section "a; that tho
president cannot invest congress with COM
potency that 1t does not enjoy under the
constitution and that he cannot create such
competency by merely approving an incom-
petent act.
For seven years the president has insisted
on performing the duties OF the legislative
branch OF the government; for two years ne
has insisted on exercising the sole treaty making
powers OF the government Now he arrogates
to himself the right Of functoning as the Judi
oiaI department; for IN this reasoning attrib
uted to administration officials" but which ia
