cFNsIrs OF VOTERS

The census Of 1880 should include
statistics as to the voting qualifca-
tions of every man and woman over
the are.of p years, with reasons in
the case Of those disqualified. Such
official information would be a reliable
basis FOR legislation enforcing that
provision Of the constitution which re-
quires that when any state disqualities
any Of its citizens, except for crime,
its representation in Congress shall be
reduced accordingly. At present Il is
common knowledge that several mill
lions q voters in the South are de-
prived u the right TO vote, bgt there
is no exact knowledge as to number.

Child Labor Goods

1t is understood that several mem
bers Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, engaged in the framing Of a tariff
bix,are inclined to levy a special tax
on imported goods produced by child
labor. Such levy was advocated be
fore the committee by Presiding
Judge Sullivan Of the board Of general
appraisers who called atten-
ton to the fact. that the child labor
statutes Of this country haze stood the
test Of the courts, and he saw no
reason why a similar tax on the
products Of foreign child labor would
not also be held constitutional.

UNDER THE DOME
Patentees Attention
special Correspondeneel

Especial Correspondence)
Washington, March s-Just before
the recent adjournment Of Congress
Senator Frank B-Brandegee Of Con-
necticut, called up in the Senate and
had passed a bill Of great interest to
patentees who desire to extend their
protection to foreign countries. Dur
ing the war the application for pat
ents was interrupted. No alien enemy
could file an application for a patent
in this country, nor could our citizens
file an application for patents abroad.
Senator Brandegee explained that the
measure extended the time within
which such applications may be filed
for a further period Of six months.
The extension is an outgrowth Of
treaties made by some Of the foreign
nations with each other. and II is con-
ditioned on reciprocal legislation being
adopted by other countries, extending
the time within which application
may be made under their laws.

ton for war but an insurance against
war, and the more certain lis invinci-
bility the more secure is international
peace. To the German mind navies
and armies exist only for the waging
Of war, and German officials are I'M
able to see anything else in a large
American navy. But the truth is our
navy is for the maintenance Of peace,
and is being strengthened solely with
that end in view.

Last Year, it,l .

CHICAGO. Feb. 26.-American
League fans are going to get ac-
quainted with another fence-buster
this summer. He Is Earl Homer
Shelly. Coast League batting champ
Of 1890, whom Charles, Comiskey
bought to I'LL the first-base cog In
his gear-stripped Sox machine.
Why Sheely has been left in the
minors SO long without big time
trials has been puzzle to Pacific
coast fans.
The answer probably is that Shee-
ly has a bum leg.
Leg Poorly Set.
Not bad in the sense that It hurts
his ball playing. 1t only looks q
little tough to see a diamond star
limp.
He suffered a broken leg several
years ago. 1t was poorly set.
Proof that 1t doesn't bother his
/. playing is that the accident hap
pened long before he made a name
for himself as a slugger and fielder.
The coaster packs a mean bat.
Playing in 1ss games with Salt Lake
last year he hit .371.
Here's the dope on his Babe
NUN scar
80 home runs.
S triples.
81 doubles.
III singles.
He missed tying the Coast League
home run record by just one long
drive. Bunny Briefs mark of %
still stands
Is Big Enough.
Sheely weighs 200 pounds. He
stands 6 feet inches tall. His age
is 26.
He has a dozen years of minor
league experience back of him.
His batting eye has checked on
averages OF 1908, 800, sos and .37l
for the last four years.
His fielding at first has been a fea-
ture of the Western circuit several
years. When fianked by Eddie Col
lins on his right there won't be
much use hitting balls his way.
The Old Roman couldn't risk a
youngster who needed time to ripen.
In Sheely he has the desired COM
bination-slugger, star fielder and
virtaged.
And to top of a good bargain the
kids middle name is Homer. No
wonder he can hit. #r-
