Why the Delays
THE grand jury investigation Of
= thrown games in baseball is some
thing the national commission should
have taken up long before this-if there
had been national commission.
But without chairman or with
out a directing head there has been nc
national commission to protect the in
terests of the game.
William Vceck, president of the Chi
cago Cubs, has rendered a big service
by tossing the entire smear out into the
open, rather than attempting to keep il
all hidden under cover, as most of thu
others have done.
Now that the stew is dragged out into
the open, the investigation should moi
only be complete, but the punishment
awarded should be the most drastic evel
known-the limit, whatever the limi
Is. For IL the public once makes up it.

The men lived In a tent made from

were operating in the invaded depart

to 1893 factories, employing 66S.OOO
before the war.
He gave two general indications OF
growing Industrial force. First, the
diminishing excess Of imports over
exports with a marked increase in the
expectation Of manufactured articles,
and, second, the increasing excess In
various taxes over the receipts esti-
mated by the government.
Reclamation of the war-tOrn farm
