THE BASEBALL INQUIRY.

Without having any good reason for believing so except a general spirit of distrust, there are those who are in- clined to believe that tho big and impor- tant baseball games are fixed, or in other words that the games are not won on their merits, that it is all arranged before the game opens as to which team will win or that there are players who can be relied upon to throw the game
 From the investigation which has been started by the grand jury in Chi. cago to sift out the charges that there is crookednes5 in connection with biz league contests there will be an opportu. nity for the fans of the country to fol low with much interest such proof as is presented and such denials as can be expected to be made.
 Although the Investigation concern: acts of year ago, when it is claimed players in the worlds series accepted money and played te lose games. it i; well that the facts in the case should b, fully aired and the guilt or the innocenc, of the players established It is of th, utmost importance for the nationa game, which is supposed to be on th level and which the majority so believe If there are those who are engaged i, such an underhanded practice the ouick CT it can be proved the better for ther Is nothing that would call for more dras tic action for the benefit of the sport il the future than that very thing.
 For this one or that one to make al legations or to bring charges does no settle the matter. Those accused n1us he heard in refutation or explanatio nnd decision rendered in accord wit the facts brought out. Baseball is c
 course business proposition that wi suffer greatly if it Is shown that tn charges are true and xny players ir Folved in such scandal will find the
 baseball careers brought to an abrur tnd and stigma placed upon them ths It will be difficult to eradicate. For th,
 reason the inquiry should be comple, n every detail.

VACANT HOUSES.

In connection with the housing prob lems that are being experienced in al- most all sections of the country there cannot fail to be interest in the survey that has been made by the police of In the report that has been made of such a search it is shown that there are 2453 vacant dwellings. In a city the size of Philadelphia this is not a large number and yet if available they would provide accommodations fer I2 900 to 15,00O people.
 But vacant houses in the Quaker city are apparently much the same as they are elsewhere where houses are in de- mand, for though no attempt was made to ascertain the character of the dwell ings it is indicated from a checking up of a previous investigation that a large proportion of them are not what those who are seeking accommodations would occupy. Vacant houses may be dilapi- dated and unsanitary places which are vacant for that very reason. Every city has just such property. If it can be
 rented it pays big returns to the owner but it is next to impossible to get the landlords to dispose of or to improve it Unfortunately there is never any short age of that class of dwellings.
 There have been times when owners of such property might with reason hes itate about making too heavy outlays fol
 unappreeiative tenants, but with the de ! mand that there is for houses, the will insness to pay compensatory rents ant the insistence for something better thai vacant property today offers, the tim. would seem to be at hand for reclaim i ing unoccupied dwellings which if the, are not tolerated as homes during house shortage can hardly be expectet
 to amount to much in the future a.
 measures for relieving the situation b,
 other means are put into effect.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

Recognizing the importance of educa- ton in connection with subjects there is no good reason why it should not be ap- piled to safety. It is perfectly well un- derstood what dangers the school chl- dren are subjected to- how they are in clined to plunge thoughtlessly across the street regardless of traffic and how nec- essary it is that they should under stand the importance of protecting them selves.
 The superintendent of schools in New York expresses himself on the need of some form of instruction in the public schools in this way:
 T am seriously considering the advis- ability of emphasizing during the com ing term instruction in all classes in simple rules and habits intended to in- , sure safety in the streets. There is ev- cry reason why children should be con- stantly cautioned with reference to the necessity of such rules as the following Ca) Stop. look and listen before cross ing the street; CbD Cross the street only at tne crossing; Co In crossing the street walk do isot run; (d) Before stepping from the curb look to the Jeff for approaching traffic, and on reaching the center look to the right for trafiC approaching from the opposite direction (e) Do not hitch on passing vehicles"
 There k of course nothing new in sueE advice. It is the same old story that hal been urged for self protection ever sine, the dangers of the highways became st serious. But it is golden advice and it i: quite important that those for whom i is meant should have 1t impressed upoI them the same as other lessons. It seeri quite as important that they should b, instructed in safety quite as much as il health. and the lessons in care are onl. those that can be applied in many othe ways through life.
 Children are not the only ones who ar needless. Many others can profit iron tine rules laid down to the children fo careless habits are easily formed an slowly broken. Not many adults nee 10 be warned against "hitching on'' t the back of vehicles but old as well a young are inclined to step out from i back of standing vehicles. within think ing of the risk involved.

It altogether lacks the beauty and dig nity of the royal mausoleum of the Es- corial in Spain.

BxPEpITING THE MAIL.

Our postal service is supposed to be run for the accommodation of the people of this country. How far it comes from t under the present arrangements is a matter of common knowledge It is a case today of pay your money and take whatever is offered. The efficiency which has prevailed has been knocked higher than a kite by the methods that are now used in the handling of the mails.
 There is no reason, however, why those who depend so much upon the pos tai service should not fall in with sug- sestions which can be carried out for the expediting of mail delivery The need for improvement in this direction is sufficient reason for giving heed to rec concentrations which are being made by postmasters in not few cities to busi- ness houses which have large outgoing mails.
 Attention is being called to the fact that many establishments permit their mail to accumulate throughout the day and drop t au ints the oftiee or mai

FROM BAD TO WORSE.

There is nothing to show that the visit of Governor Cox to California was in any way profitable to his cause On the other hand by the very action of the candidate himself there is reason to be- lieve that he recognized that he was not making the hit that he expected.
 When he undertook to shower Sena. tor Johnson with fulsome praise it was evident that he was trying to win ovel those who were once bull moosers I'm medistely Senator Johnson took tht platform he didn't undertake to hand back the bouquets but launched ou against the league of nations on whicl Governor Cox is in full accord witt President Wilson.
 But the more surprising action on tn, part of the democratic candidate wa. the charge he made against the Califor mia press. It is difficult to believe tha he has been treated as he claims. Sucl certainly has not been the attitude o the newspapers in other parts of tn country. He has been accorded plent of opportunity to present his views b republican as we'll as democratic pa RtAo NNNh Sliou6h udS I1aue cn&ES6 that were not supported If his com plaint is that papers are not daily re printing the charges that he is repeat ing each time he must realize that ther Is no one to blame but himself The pa pers regardless of their political lear ings are anxious to furnish the new and as a contributor to the news of th day Governor Cox isn't going to be is nored because he Ia democrat, an more than his own newspapers are goin to refuse to print the speeches of Sen. tor Harding.
 Governor Cox has been prominent featured during his tour of the west H has indulged in lot of Erandstau stunts that failed to impress. He star cd some things that he couldn't fnis but the grounds on which he whin. about being sighted by the press appa ently have no better foundation ths those improved claims about the repul lican campaign fund which he has dol eled since he began talking about Governor Cox by this latest complai shows himself poor sport He is goiI from bad to worse.

 Taking the friend to the links he said, Now give me your best attention and I'll show you"
 So saying he put the ball on the small heap of earth, got braced, made furi- ous swing and missed. Then he repeat ed the operation.
 "A grand game gowff," said the friend
