mand that all Sabbath recreation be stopped in
accordance with statute. Otherwise they insist, in
their challenge to the police and the Judges that
baseball games shall not be interefered with.
BY this challenge they have reduced the puri-
tanical code which New Hampshire inherited from
its earliest settlers to absurdity. What could
this great resort State do if all pleasure
cars were kept in the garages on the Lords day,
II all golf courses were left to the sparrows and
sales of newspapers, tobacco. soft drinks, etc,
prohibited The most profitable business that
comes to the mountains each year would be lost.
1t is safe to assume that New Hampshire hotel
propretors have enough political influence to
prevent any such state of affairs.
Yet the baseball players certainly are justified
in their position If form of recreation is
allowed, another, equally innocent and equally
beneficial should not be banned. We have no
doubt but that the poorer people OF the New
Hampshire city are saying with considerable JUS
tce that there is one law for the rich and another
for the poor.
The courts of the State are faced by propo-
sition of simple logic. They have two
open. Either they enforce the old laws to the
letter they disregard them. 1t is reason
ably certain they will take the first course. 1t
would be absurd. But if they take the second
course they must follow it with justice to every
class of citizens.
Concord ball players certainly selected a logi-
cal time for their action If their demand had
come earlier in the season it might have been
laughed at. But New Hampshire prizes too highly
the pocketbooks of her summer visitors to irritate
them. Those who sit in the seats of the mighty
among her blue mountains apt to con-
quer their purtanical distaste for plebian games
like baseball rather than give up their golf and
motoring Sundays

The advocates and leaders of this
movement were given aid, comfort
and encouragement for eight years
by the Wilson administration.
Never before did radicalism make
so many converts in this country.
or such advances toward their COW
eted designs as. during that period.
Their purposes have not been
abandoned. but are only in abey-
ance, awaiting the next Presidential
campaign for test of their
strength. Among the old guard Of
the Wilson regime they will seek
and find their leaders to further
their designs-hoping to achieve
them by capturing the Democratic
party, and utilizing IL to their ends.
Their scheme is first to sovietize
the Industries of the country. and
eventually get control of the gov
ernment These two ends are to be
partially achieved by securing. IL
possible. the nomination Of William
@. McAdoo for President by the
Democrats on a platform pledged
railroads. to which he has already
practically committed himself.
Knowing that he could never get
the New York delegation TO the
Democratic convention he has To-
Gated in California, the radical State
of the erratic Hiram johnson. where
the political atmosphere is more
favorable to the schemes of him
self and his hackers. The West has
all the radical elements that ar.
needed. while in the East these
schemes would meet with no en-
couragement or support outside OF a
handful of radicals.
With this danger ahead II Is about
time for the conservatives to wake
up, and to stop. look. and listen;
and especially for the Republican
party to awaken to its duties and
responsibilities to the nation. and
to SO direct its policies and activi-
ties as to win the confidence and the
support Of the conservative and sub
stantial elements of the country.
and thereby avert the calamity that
would follow the election OF Nc
Adoo and his following-a thing
that Is very likely to happen IL the
present disgust of the people with
the Republican administration con-
tinues unabated on account Of its
do-nothing policies, its lack Of lead
ership. and evident yielding to sin
lister and selfish influences.

ported, but 1 do not believe there
will be a revolution"
As to the strength of the monar-
chial parties and the tdelity of the
troops to the present German gov
ernment, he says: Some of the Of
flcers are, of course, from the old
regime. But here am ], who was
for forty years under the old re-
gime. II you ask me am l mon
archist. a republican, or a demo-
crat, then / say for that period in
which we are living there can be
but one answer.
Every man must support the
government. And to every one OF
my friends who might make an at
tack against the democratic gov
ernment / would say: You are not
a friend of your country
There Is only a small group that
is really reactionary. They say IL
would be best for Germany to expel
the government with guns. These
are the first line young fellows,
some students, some former officers
and the Junkers, OF whom you have
heard-the landlords and their sons.
1t is a small force, but 1t is dan
;gerous.
In years from now, perhaps" he
goes on, "the German people may
discuss in orderly. parliamentary
manner which is better for Ger
many-a monarchy or a republic.
And everybody may say it is a mon
archy. IL reconstructed-a monarchy
with better guarantees than before.
But, do not misunderstand me"
he hastened to add. Il am not at
tempting to make reconstruction.
"Yet there is a great fraction of
the German people who are in their
hearts monarchists and who say
that democracy is not the right
form of government for Germany.
They are very quiet and clever, and
they wait and watch how things go.
The working of the government
may lead one day again to mo-
narchic ideas"

For the Bonus.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
My personal opinion OF the bonus
question is as follows:
Is IfIever get the bonus 1t will not:
1. Buy my patriotism.
2. Change my opinion Of the war
grafters still roaming at large.
3. Let me forget that the govern
ment is still paying a bonus to the
dear clock-watching. crocheting
clerks after a period Of four years.
4. Make me forget that "our
Uncle Sam" who said he would not
forget us is still leaving at liberty
all the colonels and majors. e.c..
that jumped to washington and OBJ
tained the best Jobs, and then be-
trayed our country by graftinG
when Americas best blood was
making the supreme sacrifice In the
Argonne and Flanders Field and
other battlefields.
S. Change my opinion of the Sem
ators and Congressman that jusgIe
the bonus bill and vote against 1t
and then vote that a certain Senator
from Michigan is entitled to a seat
in the Senate.
6. Erase fro mmy memories the
horrors of war.
1t will:
/. Help me out financially and
enable me to get out of debt.
2. Assist me in competing with
the civilian class Of my own age
whose Jobs were 80 important dur
ing the war that their superiors
claimed exemption for them.
8. Give me q chance to attend one
of the parties on the roof OF some
hotel-these parties were numerous
while We were across the waters.
would like to see what kind Of a life
they were enjoying while we were
roughing 1t.
{. Still further my belief that so
many grafters from both political
parties are so mixed up In war
graft that the cases will never be
Investigated
6. Further convince me that the
voice OF the people is being heard
instead Of orders or threats from
organizations such as the United
States Chamber Of Commerce. or the
big trusts.
6. Convince me that the bonus Is
not a matter of choice from the poll
iticians, but the result Of public
opinion.

The Parks Record.

HoW much Washington people appreciate the
II splendid facilities for sport of all kinds af-
forded in the District is illustrated by the June
report of the Office of Public Buildings and
Grounds. More than $4,000 people engaged in ten
mis-, baseball golf and other athletic games on
public grounds.
Wsshingtonians becoming more and more
out-of-doors people during the months.
This is highly desirable. The statistics on sports
are open to all. 1t would be interesting to COM
pare them with another set of statistics, if these
could be obtained-the decrease of physicians in
the city and the fewer and fewer people requiring
medical attention.
The tennis courts The golf links, the baseball
diamonds, etc, are more valuable to the city than
so many hospitals. They accomplish the same
purpose in peasanter fashion.
The tremendous increase shown by the report
for last month emphasizes strongly the need for
still more sport facilities. The park system Of the
Capital probably the finest in the world, already
has outgrown the stage where it is ideal. There
is not enough open space for the best good of the
citizens.

Socialism of Wilson.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald /:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The letter of "A. S. L." Is indeed
interesting. Isn't il too bad about
the Socialistic tendencies of Wood
row Wilson. What A. S. l. really
wants is a government completely
in the control of the business in
terests. You have in A. S. L. just
read the remarks of your Vice Pres
ident before the Chamber of COM
merce in Rochester, NJ Y: now IL
you haven't proof enough that you
are getting the kind of thing you
voted for, read again today the re-
marks of the Assistant Secretary
of the Navy on the Herrin affair.
You don't remember that this same
Mr.. Roosevelt and people like him
were not at all concerned when
honest, hard-working miners were
killed in cold blood by the hired
thugs Of Baldwin and Feltz. But
how you scream when a few of the
scum of the earth, are killed while
serving the operators. Ny dear
A. s. L. you are, indeed. in a bad
fix, and 1 sympathize with you. In
a very short time you will see just
how the people (not the. politicians
In washington) feel about this
whole mess created by your friends!
Woodrow Wilson and the league Of
nations will be. a factor long after
you and I have departed from this
earth. Three cheers for woodrow

crat or because you say he has So

Popping Up" the Police.

HE transfer of forty-nine police ordered by
Maj. Sullivan is likely to have a good
effect on the downtown district. Famil-
iarity with conditions often breeds not only con-
tempt but blindness. The new men placed on the
business streets bound to notice many things
which require police attention but which the for
mer patrolmen failed to observe. A new broom
sweeps clean. The streets of downtown Wash
ington certainly need a thorough sweeping
Not that there has been any neglect of duty
The men moved from the streets where worthless
ioafers constitute the greatest nuisance are doubt
less as conscientious any members OF the Met
roportan police force. But their jobs have become
too much matter OF routine. They will observe
many things which require their attention on their
new beats which may have escaped the men trans
ferrcd to the business streets
To people who live in Washington the wear
around conditions along street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue are not so obnoxious to folks who
only spend week or so in the Capital They
come to look upon abuses OF one kind or another
as natural, and take it for granted that the same
conditions apply everywhere Strangers on the
other hand. quick observe that which differs
from the ordinary. The same holds true of police
men.
A commendable effort to clean the streets is
in progress. We hope that it will be given new
energy by this influx OF fresh patrolmep who will
be eager to make their mark on their new assign
ments and who will overlook no opportunity to
curb law-breakers.

More Trouble in Near East.

r HE Arabian-Zonist feud in Palestine promises
i to become bothersome problem in inter
national statecraft. With both factions armed and
ready for war, only miracle can prevent the out
break of hostilities soon.
The world sympathzes with the age-long
wanderngs of the Jewish people. 1t was hoped
that they could found national state in Pales-
tine without trouble. On the other hand the
Arabians certainly deserve. consideration They
are the actual possessors of the land. They have
come to look upon the country as their natural
heritage. There is more than trace of justice
in their resentment against the people whom they
look upon intruders
Again the attention of the world is brought
forcibly to the explosive hash of the Near East
and the futlity of the postwar settlements. Max
ing over this country is not the task of few
years but of few centuries.
The British protectorate can, of course enforce
the Jewish claims. If it does Great Britain will
have won the age-long hatred of the Arabians.
