Red SOx Hold Palm for
Honor for World Series
CONTINUED from page one)


ANIMALS of the classic that have
won it two times in succession.
And more fantactic, so it seems
to the fans of "Sleepy Town." the
Philadelphia Athletics, cellar
champions for seven years, are the
Boston Americans loudest disput-
ants having won, back in the days
of "The Million Dollar Infeld,"
three Worlds Series, two of them
in succession.
The other American League
club to humble the National
League Champs twice without in
termission are the Chicago White
Sox, now a gilded memory of the
"suspicionless" days. Cleveland,
with iris Speaker speaking, is the
only other club of the younger
circuit to win a Worlds Series.
All the American League Clubs
except Washington and st. Louis
neither st. Louis team ever has
won a pennant have been
champions of their baliwick.
In the National League five
clubs, New York, Chicago, Pitts
burgh, Boston and Cincinnati,
have won premier honors, the first
two named twice each and the last
three once each. The st. Louis
Cardinals are the only National
League team that never has partici
pated in the biggest athletic event
in the country.
A peculiar incident of Worlds
Series is that -even of the IT
times it has been PLAYED the win
ner took four games out of five
the best four out of seven to win;
three times it has been four to
two games; and only twice have
the winners shut out the losers in
all four, though in the 1907 series,
Detroit managed to tie one game.
The only other tie game was in
1912 when the Red Sox beat
the Giants, winning four games to
one.

Ben B0rella Stars
In Newport Show

The musical comedy Some
Girl which is being stared at
Lanes Opera house for the benefit
of the Orleans County Memorial
hospital, was greeted with a full
house last night. The plot abound
ed in extremely funny situations
and the whole performance was
snappy and briUht.
The acting was especially good
and without singing out anyone
for special mention, exception
must be made to the part of Ben
Borella, whose acting was quite
the cleverest bit in the whole show
as the meek and spineless hus band
of large and strong willed wife.
Mr.. Borella is wasting his talents
in the study Of law, as the stage
is most certainly his legitimate
career.

III some places on account of coal
shortage, but it is not reported
that any bridge clubs will have to
be given up.

RELIGION FAILED TO STOP WAR

In many a great crisis such as the
late worlds war presented, religion
has failed. The great religions lost
the opportunities of preventing the
war, as well as Of bringing it to a
close. The war was an evidence of
the impotence Of religions to redeem
mankind from sin and transgresslon.
This fact cannot be successfully par
sible for the inception and continuance
Of the stupendous holocaust were
members and supports of the church.
They even claimed to be inspired by
the Almighty to undertake the butch
cry Of Gods children The church
stood aghast and helpless at such
monstrous arrogance and blasphemy.
As an organized institution for the
moral redemption of mankind the
church failed.
There is no doubt that disunity
amongst the churches contributed to
the impotence Of religions in the
worlds great crisis. Religions fought
against one another instead of uniting
against their common foes, to-wit:
Materlalism, atheism, sensualism, Grass
ing pride and combativeness 1t has
often happened that, while doctors de-
bated as to the nature Of a disease
and the best means Of curing it, the
disease gained time and power to kill
the patient. SO while the doctors Of
religion theology quarreled and in
| trigued for selfish interests, Satan
conquered the world.

EUROPE NEEDS OUR WHEAT

Because of its reduced production
this year, Europe, according to the
estimate Of the department of COM
merce, must import 5S2 100000 BUSH
els Of wheat. Naturally it would turn
to the United States, which will have
large surplus for sale abroad. Here
is the normal source Of supply to help
make good Europe's shortage; there
is the normal outlet for what Ameri-
can farmers produce l"yond the re-
quircmcnts of domestic consumption.
1t looks like very simple problem,
but at this moment congress steps In
with new and higher tariff to upset
all foreign-trade calculations.
For how are European countries to
purchase and pay for the American
wheat they need to carry them over
to the next crop season If they are not
to be permitted to send their own
goods to an American market? They
cannot settle in gold. They must pay
In their own products, if at all, or look
to other grain-growlng countries to
see them through their period of
scarcity.
The republican policy of prohibiting
through excessive tariff duties the en-
trance Of European goods into the
United States was never more inop-
perfume and absurd 1t means the
death of foreign trade; it closes the
gates to the foreigner who buys as
well as to the foreigner who sells.
The republicans in congress have
needed n practical lesson in the ele-
mentary principles Of trade between
nations and they are in a way to get it
sooner than was to have been expect
ed.

PATENT MEDICINE NosTRUMs

In almost any newspaper the reader
picks up he finds its pages cluttered
up with patent medicine advertising,
one St. Joseph paper devoting about
one half Of its spare space one day
each week to theeXploitation Of these
nostrums. Testimonial letters cut a
big figure in these advertisements and
the faith that can he placed in them
should be very slender, as Is pointed
out in a recent edition Of the Ameri-
can Medical associations book, "Nos-
trums and Quackery." An instance is
cited of a man whose letter, testifying
that certain remedy had made him
feel better than for many years, ap-
pcared nearly a week after the un-
fortunate gentleman had died Of
chronic interstltial nephritis. Several
other cases are recalled in which let
ters testifylng to complete recoveries
attributed to the use Of this or that
cure, were published on the same day
as the writer's obituaries.
Similarly, it is related that Jess
| Willard gave a testimonial acknowl-
cdging that his success against Moran
| was due to a certain tonic. and that
not long afterward, Jack Dempsey at
! tributed his victory over Willard to
/ the same formula, indicating, perhaps
! that Willard had forgottnn to +al,o hi
dose-or, that in a case Of the ire
sistihlo force meeting the immovable
object, the best man wins.
No doubt there is merit in some
patent medicines, but the overwhelm.
ing weight Of evidence is that the
profits are unconscionablc, and thai
evil results often follow There is bu
one safe procedure in case Of illness OF
infirmity-consut a reputable physi
clan.

heard in congress are not those who
last year were contending for the
emergency agricultural protection. The
farmers have learned that so long as
they are exporting millions of dollars
worth of products. their prices must
be fixed on the far side of the tariff
wall and can not be improved by pro-
lection. The experience with wheat
taught them that. But they are not
on that account likely TO be moro 1ubi-
liant for tariff that will cost the con-
sumers s20O,OOO,OOO in taxes on sugar
and that will boost the prices Of hum
dreGs Of common necessities.
Protcctionists in the senate who
during the past week have reiterated
that they would vote for a tariff Of
1000 per cent If it were necessary to
maintain the protective principle, have
yet to hear from the millions OF con-
sumers who are likewise voters.

Just how strongly the republican
party is bound to the decaying body
Of high tariff is evidenced by the final
vote in the senate on the Fordncy-

Tho Paync-Aldrich bill was decid-
cdly less aggresslvcly protectlonist

it was so aggressivcly protectionlst
that seven republican senator's voted
against it. Against the Fordney-AIc-
Cumber bill, far more aggresslveIy
protectionlst than the Payne-AIdrich
tariff or any other tariff act, only
three republicans stood when It was
put on passage.

Once the Alton was a good railroad
property 1t began going down hill
before f. II. Hartman got control.
He rehabilitated it. but at the same
time engaged in reckless fs=anciering
the sort of financiering that at one
time went under the name Of melon
cutting and was regarded as smart.
With seven hundred miles Of owned
road, the Alton had securities of 127
million dollars outstanding-at the
rate of $4,000 a mile. The collapse
was inevitable. No investment, wheth-
er in railroad or any other property,
is secure unless the management is
good. A railroad looks as II it might
run itself, and continue forever to
make money. But bad management
win break it just as surely as bad man
