Pride and Baseball.

The good old city of Boston has long been
noted one of the most generous and con-
sistent of baseball cities. Boston has had her
share Of pennants and also her share of tail
enders Poor but honest tai-end teams. strug
CLING against adversely, have not been scorned
They have, instead been supported as no Other
city supported tail-ender. But Boston's
patience has finally cracked under the strain.
boycott of the American league club is threat
ened and a movement to put the owner of the
club out 'of business is supported by many OF
the most eminent citizens of Boston, including
the mayor.
The charge against Owner Frazee is that in
defiance of the interests and desires of the
Boston citizenry he has wrecked his club by.
systematically selling or trading all his best
players. The trouble began when he disposed
of Ruth. Mays and number of other stars.
He has disposed of nearly all the Boston
players that have any market value. Boston IS
red hot. Boston pride is hurt, and Boston pro-
poses to have revenge.
Local pride is what makes professional
baseball profitable. Pride brings the dollars.
without pride the dollars are few. Boston, as
above noted, has been signally generous in
supporting undistinguished teams, teams which
would have ruined the baseball pride of any
othsr city But now that Boston is convinced
that she is being imposed upon, pride at last
gives place to deep resentment 1t is a serious
matter, worthy of the careful consideration OF
those who are financially interested in base
ball and of all others who have the welfare of
the game at heart. There is no surer road to
ruin than to make commercialism the raw and
obvious motive of the magnates.

Settling War Debts.

Discussions regarding The paying OF national
war debts not only continues, but increases.
Suggestions still being made that inter-
national moratorium be declared and that the
European and other nations which owe us
money which we advanced to them during the
be freed from their obligations. The stock
argument used by the men who endorse this
proposal is that Europe is not financially able
to pay her debts and that might well
lieye her of her obligations because won't
get the money either way.
Such talk is ridiculous and is receiving no
support in Washington. 1t might be well for
some of the proponents of this plan to inquire
if there are any farmers in the United States
who cannot pay their obligations at the bank.
There are thousands of such farmers perhaps
tens of thousands If the banks would decide
to foreclose in order to get back the money
they have loaned to farmers. thousand of good
farmers would be forced into bankruptcy. But
the bankers acting with both wisdom ami
leniency. The farmers may be short of money
today, but they will eventually get it back
and when they get it back they will pay off
their obligations Give Europe some time.
And remember that the United States govern
ment has asked and received extensions of time
in order that it could meet its obligations.

Democracy in America.

Save in the south. where the black and
white races are segregated, railroad travel in
America admirably illustrates our democracy.
Europeans, accustomed to compartments in
their coaches are always surprised to learn that
in America from so to 100 persons may ride in
the same room; that the laborer. if he has the
price for pullman seat, can rub knees with the
millionaire.
The French go even farther than the Eng
fish IN partitioning travellers. They have COM
partments not only for women and smokers
but for members of the railway staff, sports
men with dogs, and members OF parliament
A French deputy recently introduced a bill
making it compulsory for railroads to have
compartments for women with abes. This
causes the Manchester Guardian to suggest that
what really is needed is a compartment where
non-talkers can be free to read, work think
and spared from those social individuals who
wish to while away the hours of tedious jour
ney with conversation.
The need is not particularly apparent in
America, because, unlike their somewhat re-
served British cousins, Americans like to talk.
The ease with which conversation in a smok-
ing compartment become general is notorious
and the freedom with which men of such di-
verse callings a Jewish salesman, Catholic
priest, a stock buyer, an oil we'll prospector
lawyer and lecturer, will turn their minds
inside out for inspection is amazing The
man who sits down with such a company
prepared to read his magazine, usually throws
it aside. monologue may become tiresome,
but a discussion, the sharp matching of wit
against wit, and the rehearsals of experiences
out of daily life, are more fascinating than the
printed word PROFESSIONALLY this freedom of
conversation is not so much a result of Ameri-
can democracy a cause of it. 1t works
against the aloofness that is but little re-
moved from snobbishness, and reveals the other
fellows position

X-ray specialists propose to have the use
of that powerful therapeutic agency confined
to those who are thoroughly familiar with its
powers for good and i'll. They should have
little difficulty in making their point of view
clear to various state legislatures and having
laws passed to this end. The great and in
creasing number of severe burns which have
been caused by unskilled use of the X-ray is
the cause for this action, and it is one in which
the public will cheerfuly acquiesce. In the
proper hands the X-ray is a great blessing, in
the hands of the faker or of persons who, even
with the best intentions, are unskilled in it's
use, it is a potent factor for evil. The burns
caused by the X-ray usually of tissue which
cannot be replaced and the injury done by it
is therefore irremediable-
The restrictions which the specialists would
impose have long been contemplated by them,
but they have feared that the public might
think that they were proposed with the view of
a monopoly of the field This feeling perhaps
is natural, but it is probably utterly unfounded.
There are laws to prevent persons unframed
in many fields, especially that of medicine,
from practicing in those lines, and there is no
conceivable reason why these should not be
extended to method demanding such high
training and much experience as the x-ray.
The average man whould not risk his life by
riding on a train which being by
man who had not qualified engineer. and
there is no more reason why he should risk
suffering, if not actual manning, at the hands
of a person not qualified to administer the
X-rays. Not only the fears of the special
lists ungrounded, but by the legislative action
which they contemplate they will be doing an
actual service to the public.

Low wages is offered frequently as an ex-

Easier ON the Arteries.


The medical sage who first

a man being as old as his arteries

animation. Those were the happy
days for the "diagnostican" o.

the proper command OF personality,
dignity or front, he had only 10

so, and that was final and authori-
tative, since nobody had the temer-
ity to dispute him short of autopsy,
and autopsies were mighty unpop-
ular even then.
Nowadays diagnosis has arrived
at a stage considerably in advance
Of mere professional opinion. There
| are no longer any great diagnosti-
clans or consulting physicians ex-
cept few gods of high society still
left over here and there. Diagnosis
comes pretty nearly being an ex-
act science today. There are
plenty of pathological conditions
which are as yet deep mysteries to
y
on earth; and there are plenty Of
new diseases or morbid states ap-
pearing as fast as the unknowing

God or nature.
The modern art of diagnosis is
no one man or one mind job. 1t in

group of men, each with more Or

THE VESPER SERVICE.
By Julia A. Robinson.
Copyright, 1921, by Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.)

The short December day was
drawing to a close. A pink glow
shcne in the western sky. From
the distant steeple, chimes rang
out through the frosty air. calling
to the mid week service of prayer.
The shops down town, brilliantly
lighted and filled with a gorgeous
display of Christmas gifts, were
thronged with buyers, hurryins.
busting, jostling against one an
other in their eagerness to find the
best bargains and the latest novel
ties. Still the bells pealed forth and
the busy shoppers did not hear. In
side the church, with its lofty pill
lars and its stained glass windows,
there was a solemn hush. Only a
few entered the doors and seated
themselves here and there in the
empty pews. The chimes outside
ceased and the soft tones of the
organ sounded, swelling louder and
grander, til! it filled all the space
with its harmonies.
The minister entered the chan
eel and bowed his head in prayer,
then glanced about the church. His
ed here and there, a lone man in
child, with dirty hands and torn
dress, sat curled up. He wondered
vaguely for a moment how she had
happened to stray in, then she
passed out of his mind as he cast
troubled though on the empty
pews. Was it his fault that the
people did not attend the service?
There were scarcely a dozen pres
ent-did it pay to open the church,
TO burn the lights-for so few? 1t
would be better to give up the
service, he might be resting or pre-
pairing his Sunday sermon-he
would speak to the vestry about it.
The organ played more softly and
stopped. The minister rose and
began the responsive readings, but
the responses were scarcely
audible. Then he offered prayer
and read the scriptive lesson.
Again the organ played, sending out
rich peals of music, rolling away
among the rafters, then slowly fall
ing away into silence. The minis
ter rose to speak the message of
comfort he had prepared, but his
heart was faint and sad. The
words came slow. Would that there
were more present to hear the mes
sage he had to bring. 1t was the
Christmas thought of love and
hope. In a few simple words he
told Of the peace and joy that comes
from the Christ Child, then warm
ing into earnestness with his
theme, he told of salvation and of
the home above where the HeaveI-
ly Child, the King. was waiting to
welcome the redeemed. He paused
and the organ played again, SWELL
ing and dying away as the few who
had listened passed out into the
gathering darkness.
1t is no use to keep up the serv-
ice longer" said the young minis
ter that evening to one of his help
ers. We have tried; the people
do not come; they do not want it.
We might as we'll give it up
