when the leader OF the Irish Free

With the loss of Griffith, who died

WITH THE LEGION TEAM.

Nine innings Of scoreless baseball
were played before Shepherdstown
broke the ice and Tailed in the tenth
Johns Lutheran Church team OF Ha-
gerstown on the local field last Thurs
day. From start to finish the game
was a clean one, the fielding on both
sides waxing brilliant on frequent oc-
casions. A small crowd was on hand
to see the game, for il was expected
that neither side would put much fight
into the game, for some reason or
other. But the loyal few had the OPP
portunity OF Witnessing one OF the
best, il not the topnotcher, OF all the
games this season. The story OF the
lucky tenth is briefly told. Shipley
famed inauspiciously to start with.
Then Snyder, with the count two and
three, singled over short. Potts at
tempted to advance him with bunt,
but it turned out to be pop nv and
the enemy catcher gobbled ii up.
Snyder started for second, and in the
confusion around the pivot corner
kirkland dropped the ball. Newton
Mckee then drove sharp single I'd
right for his second clean hit OF the
game, and the fans left for supper
in high good humor.
AS a pitchers battle, the engage
ment was one OF the best seen here
in many "a moon. Brandy Myers
pitched for Shepherdstown, and was
very stingy with base hits-allowing
but six. Wiebel, Hagerstown's mounds
man, was even more parsimonious,
and the best the local lads could do
was to collect five hits. Each twill
er struck out eight men, but Wiebel
walked four men to Brandy's one.
Only twice during the fray did Hagers-
town get men as far as third base
in the first inning and in the tenth.
And only three men made acquain-
lance with the second sack. In the
ninth the Legion team had a chance
to win. With one out, Kirk Mckee
was safe on an error. Myers forced
/ him at second. Wiebel then made a
delivery that had been questioned all
through the game, and caught Myers
yards off the bag. Umpire Bllmyer
declared that Wiebel had baked, and
! Myers shuffled to second Moler was
safe on an error, and Myers took
third. With only one run needed to
end the game, Rodgers famed for the
final out.
Sharp fielding saved both pitchers
on numerous occasions. In the very
first inning Kirk Mckee made a won.
derful catch in right field cutting of
a sure hit. In the fourth Snyder cap
tured a line drive after a hard run
Then it remained for LEVY Potts, the
veteran center fielder, to show his
speed, and he outdid his teammates

one in the ninth. Day and Fridinger

THE TARIFF PASSES!

Encountered with two thousand
amendments, one hundred of them
passed in one morning with both de-
bate and examination eliminated alto
gether, the Fordney-McCumber tariff
bill, one Of the most grotesque mea-
sures ever in Congress, has finally
passed. 1t is an example Of just how
daring, how utterly impevious to pub
lie sentiment, Republican Congress
can be. The measure now goes to
conference, to emerge at some later
date with what changes the joint COM
mite will make. Taken as a whole,
the tariff bill resembles a conspiracy
more than an act Of Congress- con-
spiracy between certain powerful
monied Interests and certain powerful
men in Congress, with plenty
OF helping hands Of smaller
weight always ready to aid. The rates
are higher than the most rabid pro-
tectionists had hoped for, in the ma
iority of instances. If the bill were
simply Numbered, the Republicans
might be pardoned. But il is passed
with full consciousness Of what it
means. And what it means is that
millions Of people are outrageously
taxed for the benefit OF the few who are
in a position to control the tariff
schedules.
The bill is an outrage. Its rates
are out Of all reason. The people
will have a chance to express them
selves in November. Let us hope they
will avail themselves of the opportun-
ity. Nothing could be more satisfac-
tory to the opponents OF the measure
than TO see its proponents repudiated
at the polls in the coming election, just
as McCumber has been done already
in his own State.

Mr.. Cannon is certain not to become

MI. Bryan and Darwinism.

Mr.. Bryan should not permit him.
self to be diverted at this time to dis.
cussion OF Darwinism. However much
that subject may intrigue him, he has
other fish to fry, and should give his
whole time and thought to that job.
The orator Of the Platte, now the
orator Of the Everglades, did as much
as any other one person in the coun-
try to put the eighteenth amendment
on the books. He worked for the
cause early and late. He made per-
sonal sacrifices for it. It would not be
true to say that his temperance prin-
ciples defeated him for the presidency.
but undoubtedly they cost him many
votes in every one Of his three cam
paigns for that Office.
AS all are aware, the prohibition
amendment is under a heavy fire, and
growing as an issue in the contest for
control Of the next Congress. The
vets are effecting a powerful organiza-
ton. They are at work in both Of the
old parties. They are hoping to have
friends in both when the next Con-
gress meets. Their object is to secure
modification by that body of the
volstead act as a preliminary step to
the revival of the whole drink traffic.
Here then is work for Mr.. Bryan.
which nobody could do better and few
so we'll. He should keep his eye on
that gun. He will be expected to as
sist wherever possible in the defeat of
candidates openly or secretly pledged
to a rehabilitation Of the saloon.
However much Mr.. Bryan may OBJ
ject to the making of monkeys Of men,
the subject is academic by comparison
with the proposition to make a monkey
Of prohibition.

pected to have effect upon those who
heard or read it.
Senator La Toilette Is entitled to his
opinion, and has a right to express it,
but his analysis Of the 'purport of the
treaty should not be allowed to go un.
challenged in Wisconsin by those who
construe it differently and support
their construction with the plain Ian
guage Of the instrument itself. No
where in the treaty can be found
words even implying the pledging of
support Of material resources to back
up the understanding among the
signatory powers. let alone a declara-
ton to that effect. Moreover, Senator
La Toilette did not advance the an
nouncement as an expression of his
opinion, but as statement of fact.
Senator Lodge, in presenting the
treaty to the fourth plenary session of
the arms and far eastern conference
for its favorable recommendations by
the conference, made this positive
statement:
There is no provision for the use
of force to carry out any of the terms
Of this agreement, and, no military or
naval sanction turks anywhere in the
background or under cover of these
plain and direct clauses"
The treaty is brief. its terms are ex.
plicitly stated in clear English. The
understanding entered into among the
four powers is believed to have the
sanction Of overwhelming public opin-
ion in this country, which does not
regard It as an imperialistic alliance,
and it would be unfortunate should an
impression calculated to be created by
Senator La Follette's utterance get
abroad to vitiate the general wide
spread conviction Of its true meaning
and intent.

Theater Closing Order,

The public will stand behind the
District, authorities in closing the
theaters. and the public will solidly ap-
prove the attitude Of the managers of
those theaters in their ready and
cheerful compliance with the closing
order. No suspicion and no unkind
feeling are entertained by the public
toward tho managers. They seem to
have complied with all laws for safe
guarding people in their tneaters and
their houses have been licensed, looked
over and approved by public in
spectors. They hsi no reason to know
that there wa2 anything defective In
their houses, and the public does not
know today. and perhaps the man.
ayers do not know, whether the defects
fects that can be easily corrected. that
is, whether there are structural de-
fects in the buildings or whether the
trouble lies in the matter Of fire pre-
cautions, fireproofing, exits and the
like.
The order closing the theaters might
have been issued and executed a few
hours earlier or a few hours later, or
the theater managers might have been
directed to make the changes desired
in the interest of public safety. They
would have done these things prompt.
ly and willingly. But that is water
that has passed over the mill. The
public thinks of the Knickerbocker
tragedy, and the public and the cor
oner's jury lay blame on all persons
having supervisory powers who were
connected with the construction Of the
illfated building. Until it's collapse
no one seemed to think that the
knickerbocker was not safe. Because
Of this tragedy the public is suspicious
of the safety of other theaters, and it
demanded prompt and vigorous action
on the part Of the District authorities
in determining, in so far as this can be
done, the question of the safety of all
theater buildings. The authorities in
their drastic action have in intent re-
sponded to this demand.
