OUR TWO EXTREMES.

Two great organizatios OF the Am
erican people are at work again
congress and baseball.
Congress represents to US the serI-
Gus side Of life, the source from which
spring the laws and the revenues that
enable us to function as a people
governed by the people.
There are many good senators and
congressman, and doubtless there are
some who are not so good. They have
performed much constructive work in
the past, and some that is Indifferent
in its value
We take them as we find them and
are thankful that they are as good as
they are.
They might be worse.
Baseball is the national escape
valve. 1t is through the popular
game that men with red blood find a
vent for their pent up enthusiasm, or
an hour relaxation from the burden
some cares of life.
Baseball has sprung from an
humble beginning to an eminence
that almost staggers the conception
of the human mind
1t came up with the glories Of a
rocket, and almost collapsed with the
thud Of a dud.
There are honest and brilliant ball
players who are an honor to their
profession, and exposure has dis
closed a ring of grating shysters.
Congress is on trial, as it has al
ways been.
Baseball is in the balance, as it mas
never been before.
May justice and right guide their
minds and their hearts and their
hands, in the opportunities that are
before them, to the end that the af-
fairs of government may be SO salts
factorily adjusted and attuned that
the call of the diamond may find us
in frame of mind capable of enjoy
ing to the fullest the pleasures that
en1anate from the field of the ball and
the bat.
Opportunity beckons to the two ex-
tremes.

So long as foreign offices continue secretly

statesmen talking aminby in the open will
get nowhere. There is too much evidence to
suggest that f"rcign diplomatists have cx-
pcricnccd no change Of heart, They have
need to cut down military expenditures be-
cause their peoples are taxed beyond endur
Rnce and are in no mood to see the orgy OF
militarsm long continued.

Inc railroads, however, have gone direct to
the high tribunal with their requests. They
seek to justify this informal procedure by
describing a state Of affairs that really re.
quires quick action. Meanwhile, however,
railway workers are given fresh causes for
complaint and fresh grounds for the sus-
picion that the machinery of federal arbi
tration may be used to their disadvantage.
1t ia pretty certain that wage reductions
ordered by n federal board which has had
no detailed evidence presented to it would
cause i'll feeling and bitterness among the
railroad men. New strikes would probably
result. Even though wage rcadjustments
may be needed and even though the plight of
the railroads Is obviously very serious and
trying. authority such as the managers now
seek from the federal board should he
