The Polo Cup Comes Home.

Thirty-five years ago the interna-
tional polo trophy, offered by the
Westchester Polo Club, was won by
team of Englishmen against its
American defenders. The victors car
ried it home with them, and there it
stayed until 1909, although two game
attempts were made to restore it to
the land of its origin. But in 1909

MuBURN beat its defenders. Two
years later the English tried to get
it back, but failed. In 1913 they were
again unsuccessful, but in 1914 they
defeated the Americans at Meadow
Brook and for the third time the cup
crossed the sea. Then came the war,
and the world had something besides
international sports to think about.
Now an American team has once
more got possession OF this trophy,
the four which surprised the public
here on Saturday by smashing vic
tory at Hurlingham having once more
beaten the English. Yesterdays VIC
tory was not won as easily as that of
Saturday; the English players put up
much stronger defence than they
did In the opening contest. But they
could not match the imnetuosity and
skill in attack which characterized
the American game.
Captain MnBUgN, Mr.. SroDDARD,
Mr.. WEBD and Mr.. HITcHcoCK-Mr.
HITCHCOCK being youngster whose
inclusion in the American team
caused many persons to shake their
heads In doubt, but who made good be-
yond question--have given their fell
low citizens a triumph in sport
achieved by superior play, liveliness
and instant decision. 1t is agreed by
all students of polo who watched
the games at Hurlingham this year
that the English style seemed slow
and ineffective when the snappy
work OF the Americans, was brought
into the picture.
1t is to be confidently expected that
at the earliest opportunity the English
will attempt to regain the trophy.
Their four will be welcome guests
when they make the assault, and IL
they can defeat our best the cup will
leave us again without a single
vain regret.

That 80 Per Cent. Clause.
II Is Explained Again for the Benefit
OF the Insured.

To THE New YORK HERALD: I read
with amusement a letter signed Sub
scriber' in reference to the $50 per
cent" clause In hre insurance policies
The writer stated that every broker
or agent had different idea as to what
the clause really meant.
When an assured has an so per cent
clause in his policy he guarantees to
carry insurance up to 80 per cent. OF the
actual value of his property. and pro-
vided Mr.. Assured lives up to his guar
antee he will receive in case OF loss
every dollar of his proved loss. limited.
of course. to the amount he carries.
Now, on the other hand. IL Mr.. As
surcd fails to live up to his contract,
and, for example, let's say. carries in
surance up to only 30 per cent. OF the
actual value of his property. he is conf
PEELED, in case OF partial loss. to con-
tribute 80 per cent to the payment OF
this loss and the company pays the re-
naming 20 per cent. In other words.
the assured pays the difference in per-
centage between the amount of insurance
lie guaranteed to carry and the amount
he did actually hold.
However. in the event of the entire
property being destroyed the so per
cent. clause Is uullihed and the assured
is compensated to the full amount Of his
loss regardless OF the amount he did or
should have carried.
The so per cent. clause works no hard
ship on the buyer Of fire insurance. On
the other hand, II Is an agreement based
on sound business principles.

General Charles H. Taylor.

General CHARLES H. TAYLOR, owner
Of the Boston Daily Globe, who died
in Boston yesterday, belonged to the
robust generation which grew up
under the discipline Of the civil war.
He was born in 1916, and from the
Boston public schools he went to the
printers case, from which so many
great editors have come. He entered
the war as member of the Thirty
eighth Massachusetts Regiment and
was wounded at Port Hudson.
When he got back to civil life Gen
eral TAYLoR-he did not then have
this title, which came to him from
appointment on Governor WILLIAM
Z. RUssELL's staff later-served the
Boston Daily Traveller as a printer
and reporter. His clearheadedness
his industry and his adaptability soon
brought him to the attention of men
in responsible place who were con-
stantly on the lookout for helpers
who could be depended upon.
Thus he became private secretary
to the Governor of Massachusetts in
1869, and held that job until 1871.
In the next year he was a Repre-
sentative in the Massachusetts Leg
islature. In 1878 he was chosen Clerk
Of the House, and in the same year
he became editor and manager Of the
newspaper with which his name is
so closely associated.
Those were ticklish times for enter.
prises of all kinds. The oldest and
soundest businesses in the nation
were trembling; many great houses
were going into bankruptcy. The
after-war panic put terrific strain on
the resources OF the most ably man
aged concerns. There were serious
public disorders. The man who took
the task OF running a newspaper at
that period had big job cut out for
him. General TAYLOR took the job and
he did it well. He had professional
skill, technical information and In.
dustry and courage. He was never
afraid Of work. and he always had the
courage to make change which he
thought might benefit his newspaper.
Technical ability. industry and cour.
age won out; the Globe grew power
full and prosperous under General
TAYLoR's ownership and manage.
ment.
General TAYLOR had tremendous
influence in Boston and in New Eng.
land generally. His death removes
a big figure in journalism and pub
lie life.

sum to form an insurance pool, and
this were used as a guarantee fund

done to interest investors in foreign
trade securities.
Sound advice along these lines was
offered by bankers and foreign trade
experts two years ago when the pres
ent stalemate in the export trade was
foreseen, and 1t applies with equal
aptitude to the situation to-day.

to supply the power to drive the
machinery with which the cloth was
manufactured for that suit.
1t is in the freight cost of ship
ping that cloth to those who fash
ioned it into the suit.
1t is In all the living costs and the
wages OF all the workers that han
died it to the last one who finally
sold it to the customer who put on
that suit. The freight is in the cost
of making and marketing that suit
SO many different times and so many
different ways 1t would make your
head dizzy to figure 1t all out from
beginning to end. The whole bill
goes into the price OF the suit.
The American public. which before
the war ate, drank, wore and other
wise consumed cheap freight rates
in its commodities, also knows that
the higher transportation bill for that
suit and for all the other traffic that
is hauled has piled upon It's back in
a very short time an extra load Of
three billions of dollars a year.
The American public knows that
three billions Of dollars of added load
year on the whole public is an av-
erage Of $3.50 year for every fam
lily in the United States.
The American public is entitled to
hear from railroad men not the
suit of clothes freight stuff that
would make horse laugh but the
cold, hard fact that the great bulk
of that increased transportation bill
paid by the general consumer to the
last penny did not go to the rail
roads but went to their 100000
wage earners whose payrolls shot up
from some one and half billions of
dollars to the rate of very nearly
four billions Of dollars year.
And the only way the national
transportation bill can become nor

Ing is for the inflated railroad pay
rolls to come down to earth again.

Worry Not About Weather.
1t Keeps Its Balance and the
Harvest Faileth Not.

To THE New YORK HERALD: When a
summer season is cool and dry it Is
not long, despite pleasant temperatures
and clear skies, before a cry arises over
the land: Because Of drought our crops
perish" Yet when has seed time or
harvest failed?
The not sun drives down the plant roots
to lower levels and strengthens them
that they may carry increased nourish-
ment. The cool nights invigorate vege-
table and animal as WELL Look over
the fields during the cool drought, are
they not brightly green?
Nature. representing God, must keep
an even balance. Man only, being sorne-
what less than omniscient. is ready Ia
''holler" when he can't understand.
Even the farmer universally gruaables
Just before the welcome rain.
Generally men think of temperature
rising from January to July and lhen
falling in this latitude. But where is
the universal thermometer? In the
shade. And animals, genus homo to
considerable extent, live in the sun.
Take your thermometer, give Il good
sun exposure and keep daily record
OF maximum readings for a year. You
find that sunlight summer is vastly diff
ferent from your conception. AS the
prevailing winds turn from poleward az
the end Of almanac summer, skies clear
of dust and haze, your sun thermometer
rises until. with a dip caused by rhe
clouds and short days of ending year.
the lifting sun at the end OF winter gives
you most of your high maximums-ani
you have begun to understand how Ma
ture has taken care OF her wild animal
and vegetable children by almost re-
versing the seasons for them.
AS the god Of the southwest wind re-
gains his influence. blowing smoke dust
and haze through the air, your sun
dren are saved from Soils fiercest rays
which might otherwise Arizonaize the
land and make 1t like the desert OF
Gobi Notwithstanding that Sol is fur
ther from us than in winter when his
slanting rays shone straight down on
the southern nisphcre-fortunatel
mostly water except Australia, which is
desert inland.
So, oblique sun or overhead, Nature
ccmpensates. Her larger compensations
take more time. You can see that the
summer shower Is not produced until
afternoon in shower weather, that tie
plants which have asked their mother
for drink may have the night to as
simulate II. But II this particular sea-
son is "unseasonable"--coo rather than
hot-too dry--it Is restoring the bal
ance for a warm winter. While some
years are warmer. some cooler. mono are
so far off as seasons: neither are soa-
sens so far out Of the way as spells"
Thus the balance is largely restored
some time during the year and the an
nual balances during cycles of years.
Meanwhile the winter type of sunlight
is balancing our cool summer In the
shade. which In it's turn is conserving
moisture--and as usual, "most Of our
troubles are--not happcning!"

The Freight on the Coat.

Back again is the sad, sick tale OF
the freight on the coat. This time
it is told to the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee by a railroad
man who has the hardihood to put
in evidence his mathematical chart
to show that 40 per cent. increase
in rates adds only 81 cents to the
freight charges on suit of clothes
shipped from New England TO st.
Louis, Missouri.
But II he does not know that the
major part Of the general freight
increase is really in the price of max
ing the suit, in every stitch of it,
pretty nearly everybody else now has
economic sense enough, gathered out
of practical bill paying experience,
to know II.
The general freight rate increase
that goes into the price Of that suit
twenty-five, fifty. perhaps a hundred
times, is in the wool that was shipped
from the far West to New England
to make that suit.
II is in the food shipped from all
over the country to the wage earn
ers who worked on that suit. and
so is in their wages to meet the
food costs.
It is in the materials Of the homes
in which they live and pay rent and
so is in their wages to meet the
higher rents.
IL is in the machinery of the mill
which turned out the cloth for that
suit.
IL is in the coal which was burned

Alfonso Loses His Lawsuit.

A curious point OF international
law which brings up the old question
OF the royal rights of a foreign mon
arch in republic has arisen in
the controversy between France and
Spain over the recent suit of King
ALFONSO to obtain 100000 francs
bequeathed to him by the will of NJ.
SArExE, a citizen of France. The
French court not only refused to
turn over the bequest to ALFONSO
but charged against him the entire
costs of the proceedings. The ques-
tion now is, Can France get these
costs? The Spaniards say in effect
that their King should not be treated
In this way; the Frenchman shrugs
his shoulders and asks why should
there be any discrimination In favor
OF a king in the courts of repub-
ncan France?
Fight years ago ALFONSO received
the pleasing news OF NJ. SAPENE's
bequest. He had never met the gen.
ueman. in fact had never heard OF
aim, but he was informed that SA-
rENE had made a fortune In the
printing business, that he had a
strong leaning to the royalists, In
particular to the Bourbons, and that
he wanted to help along all deserv-
ing monarchs. The French lower
courts after struggling with the mat
ter for some time decided the case
In ALFoSso's favor
But just about the time that he
thought that he would see all those
French francs rolling into his pri.
vate strong box the French Supreme
Court took a hand in the matter.
II discovered that SAPENE had a
strange mania which prompted him
to bestow titles of nobility upon his
friends. to make pretence OF hav-
Ing a royal court and of riding his
horse into shops aud shouting Long
live the king!" It reversed the dc
cision of the lower court. holding
that "the will in favor of the King
or Spain was manifest corcllary
OF SAPENEs madness" turned the
property over to his sister and asked
the Chamberlain OF the Spanish
court to please forward by return
