Newport High Loses Two Games.

Newport high opened its baseball
season Saturday with fine lineup of
crack players that promise to make a
champion team when they get broken
in a little. In the present nine of
players we see most of our basketball
stars of the past season: Sockol, S.
Hill, " Hill, Savage, Gardner, Skin
ner, Baker, Allen and Clark. In
their two opening games luck was
against them, but the weather was
cold and it is well known fact that
a good player always does better in a
real scorching hot day. And the
scores of the games are proof that the
defeats were only bad luck. Satur-
day afternoon the team lost to Lyn-
don institute on Playground park
with a score of 80. Up to the sew
enth inning N. II. S. was ahead. AT
this time the score was tied and in the
eighth Lyndon won the third point
and kept the lead. Scion Hill did the
pitching and Vernon Hill was the
catcher.
Monday again the team lost by a
close ST to North Troy high school
on the North Troy ground. Both
games were good in spite of their lost
scores and the team played well. This
weekend they are putting in trip
to Lyndon and will play the institute
this afternoon and the Aggies tomor.

tional political committees would
seem to be subject to Federal con-
troll. Any party which should raise
$20,O00,000 fund for the election
of a President and Vice-President
would be running directly counter
to American ideas of propriety. 1t
would also challenge public opinion,
which is far more sensitive now to
the use of money in politics than it
was generation ago.
At present public opinion is
naturally skeptical as to MIR. Cum
mings's ability to touch the Demo
cratic faithful for $2O,000,000.
For what purpose? Merely to
elect another Democratic President
If he succeeds he will certainly
vindicate the contention of those
who say that the American public
has reached a stage of bewilder-
ment at which it ignores price,"
and is no longer competent to recog-
nize a relationship between the
value Of what it purchases and the
money paid out for it.

Leather Goats Not Guilty
, Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir AS q manufacturer of genuine
leather coats, | am surprised at Edith
Wetmore's letter in your columns, at
tempting to blame leather coats for the
high price of shoes.
In the first place, Miss Wetmore is
in error in stating that there is a
shortage of leather. While there is no
surplus, there is enough to take care
Of all requirements. While the high
price Of leather is involved in the price
Of shoes to small extent, the real
trouble is due to the cost Of manufac-
turc, labor alone having been advanced
from 200 to 800 per cent in short
time.
Leather coats are made from sheep
skins, the finer qualities, and arc more
Of glove proposition. The only kind
Of sheepskins used in shoes is the
cheaper grades, which arc used for
trimmings, and the quantity used is so
small when compared to the price of
shoes Gust few cents worth per pair)
that 1t iS not worthy Of notice.

The High Cost of Politics

The high cost of living will re-
ceive another boost if the Demo-
cratic National Committee carries
out it's plan to raise fund of
$2o,o0o,000 for this years Presi-
dental campaign. The chairman
and treasurer of the committee have
been talking freely about their
plans for a nationwide drive for
subscriptions. Red Cross and uni
versity fund drive methods are to
be introduced and the humble five
or ten dollar bill is to be pursued
by collectors, who formerly would
have disdained checks for anything
less than a thousand dollars.
Thomas +. Ryan admitted having
contributed half million or so to
the Alton B. Parker campaign fund
in 1904. He probably furnished
more than so per cent of the sinews
Of war for that disastrous venture.
But campaigns in those days were
relatively simple and frugal affairs.
Little money was spent on organi-
zation or advertising. The "spcll-
binder" was supposed to be the real
vote gcttcr and he worked on a
very limited drawing account
Now political organization has
reached the stage of an industry
and enormous quantities of litera-
ture are manufactured, with far
more profit to the manufacturer
than returns from the voters. Mr..
Cummings says that he is going to
keep card catalogues Of all the
Democratic or near Democratic
voters in the country, with their
ratings as investors in his fund.
That is "big business" applied to
politics. But will the electorate
cheerfnlly respond to such efforts
to exploit it after the manner of q
mail house concern?
Some years ago Congress dis
played a very lively interest in the
limitation Of Federal campaign ex-
penditure. 1t compelled for the
first time fling Of all campaign
accounts in elections for Senators
and Representatives. Presidential
electors are state officers. But ma

Scaling Down the Mark

Of the 200,000,000,000 German
marks 17,0OO,O 100000 are held out
side Germany This sum tells heav-
lily against German exports, for ex-
ports are largely paid for with this
foreign owned German currency,
whose reimport increases domestic
imitation.
So German Observation-Disclosures,
Helfferich and Gwinner are among
the number-seek riddance of the
17,0OO,O 100000 marks as a factor Of
depreciation. Their plan is to offer
to Germany's foreign creditors s
per cent bonds in exchange for their
marks and mark claims, such bonds
being barred from being brought
into Germany. Should the foreign
creditors agree to accept these bonds
purchasers Of German goods would
have to procure German marks at
rate appreciated because Of the new
demand, or else pay in goods or for
eign currency.
Such liquidating scheme does not
lack precedent and seems in the in
tcrest of Germany's creditors-to al
low the German government to
establish it's solvency by all legiti-
mate means. The main difficulty
about the plan as outlined above is
to secure the agreement to it Of for
eign creditors, and this can be done
only if the bonds offered are secured.
A prominent Danish economist,
Professor Birck, who describes the
scheme in the Nationdltidende, of
Copenhagen, raises this point and
adds that, although he is unable
to ascertain whether the German
government would be willing to give
security, ne understands it is willing
10 mortgage the incomes from Gus
toms, railways and forests for loan
abroad. Professor Brick also says
that the German government would
be willing to issue the exchange
bonds not in marks but in the cur
rency OF the country where they are
TO be offered-thus, in the case of
Denmark, in kroner; but, as he justi-
fiediy remarks, ut is questionable
whether a promise Of the German
government to pay 25 kroner is
worth much more than 1O0-mark
note"
That there is an inherent element
Of justice in scaling down the mark
by legitimate plan Of conversion
can scarcely be denied. The scheme
II carried out, would prevent specu-
lators from getting in number of
years hence, without the slightest ef-
fort on their part, 24 cents value for
an original investinent Of, say, two
cents. Obviously, the German peo-
pie cannot be Justly asked TO redeem
