1t is estimated that consumption for

more of silver than the years produc-

The Piney Branch Citizens associa-
ton Of Washington, D. c., at meet
ing attended by 200 members, adopted
resolutions demanding the elimination
from the curriculum of the schools in
that city Of an American history by
David H. Muzzey in which there is an
exposition of the doctrine of socialism,
an attack on the policy Of protection
to American industries, assertions that
congress is corrupt, strong appeals to
class prejudice and scant attention to
incidents Of the revolutionary war.
''The text book seems to be one of a
number used in public schools in which
semi-socialistic and nti-patriotic
propaganda is disseminated" says the
Washington association named above.
School boards throughout the country
would do we'll to investigate this Muz-
zey book and refuse to permit it's use
in institutions of learning over which
they preside.

Baseball in the Seventies.

Baseball in the Seventies.
Augustus Thomas, in the Saturday
Evening Post, says:
Professional baseball of the middle
'70s differed materially from that of
today. It was not less rigorous or
less athletic; in some respects it was
more so.
The old-fashioned pitched ball,
which has more speed than would be
believed by one who had not seen the
professional pitcher deliver it, was
giving way to the underhand throw,
which was probably quite as fast as
the best delivery now.
No catcher, however, wore a padded
glove or mask. Little red-haired Mil
Ter, the first catcher of the st. Louis
Browns, wore on his left hand an
ordinary buckskin glove with fingers
cut off. His face had no protection;
there was no padding over his body or
guards over his shins.
During the second season., facing
Bradley, he introduced the use of a
rubber wedge about the size of domi
no, which he had between his teeth
and let protrude slightly from his lips.
This was precaution suggested by a
catcher on another nine having had
the dental processes broken by foul
tip.
In those days the batter had the
right to call for low or high ball,
and the pitcher was obliged to put it
above or below his waist, according to
his demand. Moreover, a pitcher once
in the box went through the nine
innings, or if changed was changed
for some other member of the nine
whom he replaced in his position from
the in or outfield. Generally a third
baseman or fielder was engaged for
his ability as change off pitcher.
One or two substitutes attended the
game, but they went in only when a
man was put out by physical injury,
as they come in now in football
game.

Defends Puritan Architecture.

Wallace Nuttings' book on EUR
niture of the Pilgrim Century" is an
argument to disprove the fallacy that
the Puritans were insensible to beauty
and art.
Of the rugged substantial relics
Of their building, Mr.. Nutting says,
"There is solidity in them, durability,
freedom from caprice, and an express
sion of that sober nationality every
where characteristic of the Puritan
genius.
''For adaptation to climate, wise use
of accessible materials, inner coma
venience obtained at low cost and
freedom from discordant lines, Puritan
domestic architecture deserves high
praise"
This is no less true of their furni-
ture accessories. It is wrong to as
sumo that their austerity and sim
plicity we're forced upon them by mere
hardship. Rather were they the out
ward expression of an inner nobility
and spiritual exaltation.

Items in the run of news from day
to day indicate improving prospects
for business throughout the country.
Slow though this improvement may
be, there is ample evidence that it is
taking place. Evidence Of a general
trend toward improvement is we'll
worth citing. In the first place it
seems indisputable that the position
'of the farmer, whose deflation and loss
of purchasing power has been gener-
ally blamed for much of our depres-
sion, is somewhat improved. The steel
business, one of the basic industries of
the country, indicates increasing &C.
*tivity. One leading steel man recently
announced plans for $25,OO0,000 ex-
tension of plant facilities, and all the
principal companies report considera-
bly, improved inquiry from railroads,
which constitute probably the best
customers of the steel mills. Incl
dentally such improved inquiry indi-
Gates an improving condition Of the
railroads themselves. Preparations
for the beginning of extensive public
works are progressing and, with the
near approach of spring, they may be
expected to give employment to many
thousands and furnish a market for
great quantities of raw material.
More than $45O,OOO,OO0 is now
available in the United States for pub
lie works. That should certainly
prove a ,stimulant to industrial ac-
tiVity.

Miss Eloise Calihan has announced
her candidacy for clerk Of the state
supreme court. The Union will sup
port Miss Calihan. She has played
prominent part in Minnesota politics
but has never sought any personal re-
ward. The friends Of many Of the old
time leaders in the republican par
ty in the state will welcome
this opportunity to be Of service
to her. While we do not believe in
supporting a candidate merely because
she is a woman, we must admit that

MORE CONFIDENCE NEEDED.

These are said to be the days of de-
clining prices but it does not neces-
:sarily follow that there is going to be
"a big reduction in the cost OF every
article on the market. How much the
price of an article should drop during
this period of deflation depends large
Nv on how far it climbed on the peak
of the high prices. The public is GER
tainly justified in expecting big
drop in the cost of articles, the price OF
which was more than trebled during
the war, but where there was no big
increase there is now no reason to
expect marked decrease.
It is an indisputable fact that some
people made big profits during the
war. They should now be able to at
ford to lose some money and it would
be exceedingly becoming for them to
take their losses without grumbling.
It is said that Swift & company lost
$2O,OOO,OOO last year and Sears Roe
buck $16,OOO,OOO. 1t is also reported
that some of these capitalists dipped
into their private fortunes to help tide
their company over the rough places.
That is we'll and good. 1t is cheering
news to hear they had sufficient
means at their disposal to meet the
financial crisis.
The man who was able to feather his
nest with the big profits reaped from
the high prices during the war and
the period of initiation following the
signing of the armistice, should put
himself through a mental drill that
will tend to stiffen his backbone, if he
finds himself feeling greatly abused be-
cause of existing conditions. He might
as we'll become reconciled to the fact
that it will be profitable for him to
cut prices even if everyone cannot do
likewise. The man who failed to
participate in the ascent when the
prices went soaring to dizzy heights,
following too conservative a policy
which was due to lack of business
Judgment or an almost overdeveloped
sense of sacrifice and patriotism cam
not now be expected to share in the
loss when he had no part in the profit.
There is not necessarily going to be
"a drop in the price of every article on
the market, and the sooner it is gen.
orally realized that business will have
to continue with certain prices at their
present level the better it will be for
all concerned. What seems to be
needed now is little more confidence
all around. Singing mournful tune
never brought money into anyone's
pocket.
