The coal miners, l. is reported
have a war fund of 100000. 1t
seems a pity that they are preparing
to spend all that money. in a losing
cause. The sum has beol collected
from toilers, many of whom probably
needed it for the proper support of
their families One can hardly fail
to wonder if unionism, in the aggre-
gate, pays. Certainly some way should
be found to make it pay better than
it does, but the strike will never do if.

In his latest public address Mr.. Nc
Adoo. says that what this country
needs most is large nonpartisan cit
izenship. A glance backward over the
last three presidential elections should
convince anybody that the country al
ready is well supplied along that line.
In 1912. at the close of a Republican
administration, the large independent
vote manifested itself in a three-cor-
nered campaign which resulted in ap-
proximately s.5OO.OOO votes for the
Republican candidate, 100000 for
the Democrat candidate. and 100000
for the Progressive candidate. 1t is
unanimously agreed that most of the
Roosevelt vote was really Republican
in principle. IL was the independent
vote which went to Roosevelt that re-
suited in the election of Mr. Wilson.
In 1916 the Democrats won enough Of
the Independent vote to re-elect their
candidate. The independent vote
manifested itself again in 1920 when
Mr.. Harding won by vote of 16, OOO.-
600 against 100000 for Mr.. Cox.
This was a plurality of 100000
votes. which no one will contend rep
resents the real difference between
the Republican and Democrat
strength. When there is cali for in
dependent voting the independent
vote generally appears.

is the one who cannot go down town
without seeing a hundred amusing
little incidents that she relates with
vivacity; who cannot go next door
without collecting all the gossip of the
neighborhood. who is always full of
news about friends and acquaintance,
who bubbles over with enthusiasm,
and who enlivens the family circle
with her chatter.
No one can picture a happy home,
with a silent woman in it. A woman
who never chartered. who never talked
about her hopes, and plans; who never
told the things that she observed; who
never was guilty of using idle words
would be a wet blanket that would
chill any household to the bone.
Indeed, so highly did Stevenson
esteem the chattering women that he
put the ability to fbe a good gossip as
the first requisite in the desirable
qualities in a wife.

MID WINTER B. B. LEAGUE
 IS ARRANGED
Sixty four Amateur Clubs Will Open Fourth Sea-
 son Next Sunday.

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 18.-Sixty- four amateur baseball clubs are en- rolled in the Oakland Tribune Mid Winter Baseball League, which opens its fourth session Sunday, October 22.
 Although not very old, the league already has gained fame as a train ing ground for future minor and major leaguers. It's main object is to develop the hundreds of young sters in this section who wish to attain laurels in higher baseball circles.
 Affairs run as smooth in the Tribune League as they do in the circuits under control of the National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs. Each club posts guarantees that it will follow the rules and there is law against harboring professional or "outlaw" players or players who jump" contracts from other teams in the league. The guar antee is forfeited if the team does not finish the season. Last year 54 clubs started and all finished.
 Dozens of players developed in the Tribune League have gone on up to the higher leagues. One year ago Joseph Devine picked his West ern Canadian League Club from this league and the team won the cham pionship of the northern circuit. Among the players who were with Devine and who went up are Carl Snel and John Gillespie, pitchers, with the Cincinnati Nationals; K. Wirtz, catcher with the Chicago ly went from Seattle to the Chicago White Sox; Walter Christensen, with St. Paul, and Chicken" Hawkes. with Vernon.
 One star of the Tribune League was Willie Kamm who was pur chased this summer by the Chicago White Sox from San Francisco for $100,000, the greatest price ever paid for a minor league player Kamm played full season here and then was signed by Bill Rodgers, then manager of the Sacramento club Rodgers gave Kamm a spring tryout and then turned him loose, after which Kamm came back to the Tribune circuit. Later he was signed by San Francisco.
 Others who started here are Hal Rhyme and Gene Valla, both with San Francisco; Louis Fonseca and Ray Rokher, Cincinnati Nationals; Red" Baldwin and McQuade, Los Angeles. and Bug" Arlett of the Oakland club
