A meeting OF those interested In
standardizing sports in the upper pen
insula was called to meet at Ishpem-
ing last Saturday under the auspices
OF the American Legion. AS a result

was formed.
The association will especiallycon-
troll foot ball and will, II the expert
ence warrants, extend its control TO
other sports as we'll.
In order TO standardize and more
efficiently control and regulate sports
the upper peninsula has been divided
into four zones. One zone includes the
copper country and the Gogebic dis
tricts, another the Menominee range,
a third the EscanabaSoo and a fourth
the Marquette-Alger Section.
A temporary board OF control con-
sisting OF DR.. c. w. Olson, Ironwood;
Earl Sullivan, Houghton: Paul Christ
ensen. Menominee; w. +. Doyle, Glad
stone; T'heo. Townsell Iron Mount
ain; William Morrison, Marquette, and
T.. s. Johnson. Ishpeming was appoint
ed to act util the first annual meeting
of the association which will be held at
Iron Mountain on October /.

Masterson. Iron Mountain vice chair
man; Al. Belzer, Negaunee, secretary
and treasurer; William II. Norman,
Ishpeming director OF athletics; John

The zones are made up as follows:
District No. Calumet, Lake lin

and Bessemer. (Bessemer and Iron
wood were put in this district owing
10 the shorter mileage and better train

The Tariff Bill.

The platform on which the present
Congress was elected recognized new
factors-that the war had made the
United States an exporting and credi-
tor nation. We have, therefore, a
new outlook 50 far as foreign trade
10 concerned. Formerly we were alb
sorbed in fostering industries here
and developing q home market for
them. Now we also have the world
market to think about.
The permanent tariff bill, just re-
ported, has necessarily wider scope.
It 10, in one aspect, q re-enactment
Of the Payne tariff bill Of 1909. strict
ly protective in character. How ef-
mains to be seen. In another aspect
1t marks a return to the rational
reciprocity theory Of the Mckinley
tariff act. That sort Of tariff is GER
tainly needed now. 1t is to the credit
Of the Fordney bill that 1t confers
taliatory powers on the President.
and thus recognizes that tariff rates
have useful national purposes beyond
preserving the home market to home
industry.
a tariff bill was the subject Of vio-
lent public and partisan controversy.
It is likely to be much less so now.
The claims Of foreign trade clash
with the claims Of protected domestic

Furthermore, there 10 one feature OF
the postal savings system which Mr..
Hays characterizes as almost a fraud.
This is the failure to pay interest on
deposits held under a year. by virtue
Of which the government he says. has
profiteered at the expense Of the de.
positors to the same in the last year
alone in the sum Of s1.72o.000.
So the Postmaster General proposes
to recommend to Congress immediate
changes in the postal savings law, to
increase the rate Of interest, to pay
interest on deposits held less than a
year. to remove the age restriction, to
establish postal banks in $4,000 offices
pensate fourth-class postmasters on
the basis of the deposits they handle. to
redeposit the funds in local banks with
more liberal qualification rules for such
depositaries. and to enlarge the board
Of directors of the postal savings bank.
These changes. he believes. will make
the postal savings system more attrac-
tive to the peoples money. more
efficient, and more universally used.
If by these changes $1,000, 900, 900
can be brought out of hiding and put
into circulation a great benefit will be
bestowed upon American business,
which at present is in urgent need of
working capital. Hoarded money is a
waste. If Mr.. Hays can bring out that
billion he will be hailed as a benefactor.

Four Questions.

Has Congress been loafing on the
Job: Has it shown incertitude in mat.
ters brought before it? Does the rec
ord forecast a republican beating at
the polls next year? Is it possible to
mend the pace?
Question number one. Congress has
been in session nearly three months.
and busy every day Of the time. 1t
has passed several measures Of great
moment. and laid foundations for
others. Time was essential In the mat.
ter Of the tariff, taxation and railroad
transportation. Progress has been
made on all three propositions.
Question number two. Differences OF
opinion as to what should be done have
arisen. But they inhere in every large
subject presented to a large assembly
for action. They do not necessarily
spell incertitude or disaster. Out OF
them may issue wise solutions OF dif-
ficult problems.
Question number three. Forecasts
as to next year are worthless now. The
result at the polls in November OF next
wear depends on the workableness OF
legislation as yet in the shaping. II
this Congress finds the right way and
takes it. the next Congress is reason
ably certain to show a republican
majority.
Question number four. II the pace
needs mending and the direction
changed. the work devolves on the vet
Grams. AS always. experience counts.
The impatience now being expressed
is by men serving their first term on
CAPITOL Hill, and therefore unfamiliar
with the going. II the reins were put
into their hands. an upset might re-
suit.

The Hoarded Billion.

Postmaster General Hays says that
sthe postal savings system fails to absorb
the peoples surplus cash by at least a
billion dollars, and he proposes changes
in the law which will make it more
attractive and will draw that sum out
:..of the stockings" in which it is now
sdhoarded and so put it to work. Pri-
marily this failure Of the postal saw.
ings system Is due to the low rate of
interest which 1t offers. At per cent
. It cannot hope to gain deposits while
: savings banks offer and in some
cases even more.
The Postmaster General does not
want to make the postal savings sys-
tenn competitor Of the private banks.
Obviously the latter cannot now get
the boarded billion in consequence Of
Offering per cent. The owners Of
that money are afraid Of banks. They
are chiefly aliens, not acquainted with
American financial institutions and
s1vsn to hoarding rather than deposit.
Ing their surplus. They have con.

rate q interest does not attract them.

Politics and Legislation.

In his Fourth Of July address Chair.
man White Of the democratic national
committee says:
II take this patriotic occasion to
congratulate and compliment the
democratic party upon it's attitude to-
ward the republican administration:
on its forbearance toward the execu-
tive and its effects Of constructive
helpfuIness in legislation, placing the
interests Of the country above parti-
san interest, again proving its moral
and political integrity, its true pa
triotism and it's devotion to the inter-
ests of the nation and its people"
Mr.. Whites compliment is 30 high.
the republicans may ask for particu.
lars. They may not have noticed the
"helpfulness" and "forbearance" Mr..
White derives so much satisfaction
from.
But, whatever the past four months
have shown, the time is now at hand
when democrats, in Congress and out,
will have opportunity to put politics
aside, or, 1t any rate, subordinate 1t
somewhat, for the satisfactory solving
Of problems that press for solution on
lines not altogether political.

There is no politics In the proposition.

Marshal Foch's Tribute.

Marshal Foch's tribute to the people
and Army Of the United States sent as
an Independence day message is a
splendid expression Of gratitude for
the services rendered in the great war.
1t clearly sets forth the urgent need
Of the allies at the time this country
entered the struggle. 1t praises the
readiness and the energy of the people
and the government in expanding sud.
denly from a peace basis to an effective
war organization that eventually
caused the defeat Of Germany.
No one knows better than Marshal
Foch the full measure Of the American
contribution to victory. He had not, it
is true. been named generalissimo of
the allied troops until about a year
after the United States declared war.
But he had been a factor in the de-
fense Of France from the beginning.
1t was his blow at the first battle Of
the Marine that turned the tide there
and stopped the triumphant German
advance. calculated to overwhelm the
allies in a few weeks. He knew. as did
situation. when. in the spring Of 1918.
Germany began what her leaders
hoped and believed would be the su-
preme and successful smash against
the long held stubborn defense. He
knew the full value of American aid.
not merely in moral effect, but in
physical strength.
That aid was rendered. in fuller
measure than the French and British
and Belgians believed possible. The
cry came for infantry and machine
gun units. They flowed over the sea.
thanks to the concentration Of British
shipping, in astounding numbers. They
reached the front in surprisingly short
time and in condition that chal-
lenged the admiration of the most sta-
soned soldiers. They went into action
with spirit that proved an inspiration
to the weary. battle.worn divisions Of
the allied armies.
Marshal Foch's praise comes appro.
priately at a time when the United
States formally. by legislative action.
declares the restoration Of peace with
Germany. This declaration is but a
form, in the main. but it marks the
end Of military episode. The French
commanders tribute gives a proper
appraisal to the services rendered in
the few months marked by active oper.
atoms.
Nearly four years and quarter
elapsed between the declaration Of war
and its definite and specific Cancella-
ton. During only nineteen months Of
that time. however, was the United
States actually engaged in military
operations. It's real fighting service
covered but little more than half a
year. But that half year sufficed. It
was the half year Of the supreme
crisis. when every ounce Of power told.
when every man was a unit, when every
gun was of the utmost value. It is
the pride Of this country that it was
ready for that service, which Marshal
Foch now so eloquently appraises.

Mutual irresponsibility continues to
be offered as an excuse for all kinds
of crime. Drawing the distinction be-
tween mental and moral irresponsible

with which psychology has to deal.
