LET Mr.. CoMIsKEY WEEP.

| The sympathy and weepy COM
ments on the plight of the baseball
owners and Mr.. Comisky in particu-
lar are gratutous. 1t appears that the
magnate had the goods on previous
| throwdown Of the public. concealed
the facts and kept the men in base
ball lest the revelations might hurt
baseball" That is lest n disguised
public should turn away from the
gate and keep it's money Is It's pock
ct. 1t appears that the baseball
owners knew that last years games
were as crooked as cog's hind leg
and that certain players then pleaded
with Mr.. Comiskey to clean house Of
the crooked players. At least that is
the inside story that is going about
among the baseball players and In
big baseball circles.
That being the case tears are
wasted over Mr.. Comiskey's plight.
If he covered up n crooked deal in
1919 he should have expected anoth-
er in 1920. In the midst of his agony
over losing an alleged vast sum by
the dismissal Of the players he might
be asked why he waited to get busy
until a grand jury forced his hand.
Crookedness In baseball. politics
and for that matter of that in every
| thing thrives on concealment and
| immunity. In the long run it never
hurts community to make exposure
OF rotten conditions. 1t invariably ac-
Icentuates such conditions to attempt
to conceal them on the theory that
1T will hurt the town." If legisla-
tive committee can be convinced that
it would be bad for the party" to
render strictly honest report and
better to twhitewash crook the dis
temper spreads from one office to
another ina statehouse. Combination
OF crookedness Is partnership with
crooks. Baseball, politics or business
1t is the same thing; and the end OF
1t is disgrace and scandal and the
reprisal Of a disguised and outraged
public.
There Is no occasion to weep with
Mr.. Comiskey or to mourn when he
mourns. II he had been entirely
square with the public that supports
and enricnes professional baseball
and kicked out the crooks last year
his troubles would have been over
He chose less sincere and less re-
spectacle course and used sticking
plaster instead OF o knife on cam
Ger. Let him weep. Tears will do him
good.
Baseball? Baseball will come out

LOUIS MURPHY RESIGNS.

Louie Murphy, internal revenue
collector for Iowa has resigned his
position under the government and
VIII engage In other business. ThiG
Is a case where the exception proves
the rule and in utter defiance of the
accepted assertion that democrat
never resigns an office.
Outside Of politics and partisanshjp
Iowa is likely to miss Mr.. Murphy.
Murphy has conducted the onerous
office OF income tax collector with
tact, Judgment and wisdom. While
complaint is general against the tax
in Iowa the feeling is against the tax
and not against the collector.
Nowhere do arrogance and little
ness Of mind find wider fields for
their exercise than in the office of the
collector Of income taxes. In some
states there has been legal resistance
to the rulings OF collectors. No such
case has found its way into the pub
lie prints In Iowa. Murphy and his
corps Of assistants have been inyari-
ably tactful, anxious to correct mis-
takes instead OF seeking opportunity
to penalize except in cases where in
tent to defraud was evident and
have generally conducted hard and
ungrateful job wisely and efficiently.
1t is gratifying to be able to speak
thus of the conduct of public affairs
by democratic official and to add
that the income tax department of
the government has been decently
conducted nationally in contradis-
tinction to the universal condemna-
ton that rests upon other depart
ments Of the Wilson administration.
Murphy, has been good collector
with a good corps of assistants. He
has shown good business sense and
capacity in an office where a small
man would have been unbearable.

QUESTION YOURSELF,

Listen on the street and in the
clubs and to conversation between
men and women everywhere. Do you
hear the league OF nations discussed.
You do not.
The fact is that nobody is talking
OF the league of nations except Mr..
Cox and those who are using it as
smoke screen in the attempt to cover
the acts of the democrat administra-
ton.
People are talking together of the
waste and the graft and the unneces-
sary taxation and the REIMBURSEMENT
OF war prices to peace. They are not
talking of the league.
There's a reason. Everyone knows
that the Wilson league with it's pledge
[of involvement Of this country's men
and money in every European and
Aslatic war bigt or little, will never
be approved by congress or by the
people. Everyone expects a league or
court or some arrangement which
will endeavor to prevent wars. Ey-
eryone knows that the only reason
such an arrangement is not now es-
tablished is to be found in the stub
born egotism OF Woodrow Wilson
and his position which permitted him
to command instead Of consult mem
bers Of his party in the senate The
least OF American worries just now
Is the future Of the league. The
outlook is for an organization of
which America, will be permanent
and working member but which will
protect American interests decently.
With Wilson out Of the way, as he
will be next March, there will be no
difficulty as to Americas entrance
into the world arrangement with the
glad welcome of the other nations.
The league issue is mere smoke.
Nobody is taking it seriously. It
isn't an issue at all, ms,ly a back
fire. Ask yourself whom you have
heard talking of it, how much YOU
have seriously considered it as a
predominant issue.
The real issue this year is the
waste, graft, incompetence, and
shameiessiless Of the democratic
of public affairs here
and beyond the seas.
The landslide is loosening Cox
feels il under his feet. He has shifted
i-ere and there from wet to dry, from

Answers To Previous Questions.

Answers O previous questions.
1--Does the woodcock sing while
in flight?
The flight song of the woodcock I
have heard but twice in my life. The
first time was in the evening twilight
about the middle of April. At an alti-
tude of one hundred feet or more. it
began to float about in wide circles
and broke out in an ecstatic clipper,
almost MARBLE at times. with a Pc
culiar smacking musical quality.
AT what season are the egSs OF
insects mostly laid?
The present season Is always the
mother OF the next, and the inception
takes place long before the sun loses
his power. The eggs that hold tho
coming crop of insect life are mostly
laid in the late summer or early fall,
and an analogous start is made in
the vegetable world The egg. the
seed. the bud, are all alike In many
ways. and look to the future.
9.-Is the gray squirrel apt to fall
TO the ground from the trees
Indeed. the flying squirrel has little
or no advantage over the gray SPUR
rel, and In speed and nlnibleness can
not compare with him at ALL II he
miss his footing and fall, he is sure
to catch on the next branch; If the
connection be broken, he leaps reck-
lessly for the nearest spray or limb,
and secures his hold, even If It be by
the aid OF his teeth.

The Japanese Crux.

IT was stated the other day. and a
few days later was denied. that the
secretary OF state and the Japanese
ambassador were negotiating So
tuition OF the Japanese immigration
question on the basis of the United
States ma Hrapzing and receiving in
to full citizenship an Japanese now
In this country, and Japan forbidding
further migration to America. We
were not surprised at the denial. for
the original report seemed so extra
ordinary as to be Incredible il for no
other reason than this, that it would
be quite impossible for the admin
iatration to admit Japanese to citi-
zenship, II 1t so desired to do. The
making of naturalization laws Is a
function OF congress, exclusively, and
the administration OF them is the
work of the courts. Now the courts
have decided that under existing laws
Japanese are not eligible for natural
ization: wherefore such an arrange
ment as that which was reported
would require special legislation by
congress. We have too good an opin-
ion of Mr.. cambridge Colby's sagaci-
ty to suppose that he would make
a diplomatic compact with a foreign
government which would necessarily
be contingent and dependent upon
subsequent action by congress wheH
there was not the slightest assurance
that such action could be obtained.
The incident calls attention. how
ever. to what IL in fact the crux of
the whole Japanese question. It is
paramount to the question of Japa
nese ownership or leasehold of land
There can be no doubt OF the right Of
any state, by state law, to forbid the
owning or leasing of land by I'M
naturalized aliens. or by. aliens in
eligible to naturalization, Some state,
have long done 1t. without protest.
The United States itself has long
done it. in the District OF Columbia
and in its territories. Foreign nations
have done the same and il Japan
herself is not now doing it. 1t is be-
