THE FREE SEED ITEM.

Economy appeals more strongly to the lower house of congress on some ocea- sions than it does at. others Action has already been taken reducing the appro- priations by many millions because it was believed that such expenditures as asked were unwarranted. that they con- templated the use of money which is needed in other directions and that un- der present conditions to have voted them would have been to ave disregard ed the need of retrenehment. They vera then dealing with estimates where no consideration had been given to the cry for economy. The situation is decidedly different, however, in regard to the dues- ton of voting money for free seeds, to be distributed by members of congress.
 When those who made up the estimates for the department of agriculture came to the item of free seeds thought appar- ently reverted to the opposition which has for years been shown to this part part of the bill Likewise 1t would seen that 1t was considered the very tint when such a sum should be saved though it is small in comparison witl others which have been saved. But thu bill which did not contain any provision for free seeds, for which economy credf must at least be given to tn \ making up the estimates, instead of meeting witl the approval of the lower house which rrscticing economy called forth it's oppo sitlen to such an extent that not onl. was the item of free seeds put into tn bill but provision was made for increas ing tho amount from s240,ooe waste last year to $3sa,oe0 which it is planne 10 allow the congressman to waste unde the new appropriation. This means
 needless increase of $12o,oee over las year on an item whose elimination woul in no way be harmful, except poSibl to the imaginations of those congressna who think they are winning their way iR to the hearts of their constituents D such use of their money.

Case Merely Another Out
break of Old johnson.
Comiskey Feud.

Chicago, Aug. l.-Opening its final
argument in the base ball trial, the
defense today pictured the base ball
scandal investigation and trial as
theatrical burlesque in which Ban
Johnson, president OF the American
league, was the villain and Charles
A. Comiskey, owner OF the Chicago
club, the goat.
The entire case was merely an
other outbreak Of the Comisksy-
Johnson feud. said Henry Berger.
first OF the nine defense attorneys to
talk during the day. He dehed the
jury to find anything in Illinois laws
making the throwing of a base ball
game crime.
"Over in his law Office sits Charles
V. Barrett. the prima donna Ameri-
can league attorney who vamped Bill
Burns" said Mr.. Berger.
Next TO him sits the villain, the
walking bank of the American league,
Byron B. Johnson. whose machina-
tions of years finally have been sue
cessful.
Posing as hero who would clean
up base ball. Ban Johnson has
pulled the strings, the puppets have
thrown the mud and all old score
against Comiskey has been paid.
For the sake OF argument con-
tinued Mr.. Berger, Il will admit that
these men threw the 1919 worlds
series If that is the case. then these
men have violated their contracts.
That is no crime. That is no con-
spiracy to defraud The state has
failed utterly to prove any intent by
these men to defraud anyone"
