The Umpire is Supreme

Baseball, whether Of the sand-l lot
variety or of the organized sort, does
not have the distinction of being inter
state commerce and having a chance
to get its name associated with the
Sherman law. The eliminating event
OF each season, the world series, is
merely "public exhibition for mon-
ey," in the eyes of the law, and al
though the whole population of the
country may become so interested to
the exclusion of other interests in
life that the contest comes pretty
close to causing national holiday,
the event is only local, and any
amount of passing to and fro over
state lines by participants and spec
tators fails to bring into play the
antitrust laws of the United States.
This means incidentally that the Fed
eral Trade Commission will never be
able to reverse the umpire; for re-
gardless of the resentments the UNI
pire may cause in distant states he is
not engaged in commerce between the
states.
In fact, the Supreme Court was un-
willing to look upon baseball as COM
merce or trade. 1t may be something
higher. On that point the court does
not vOuchsafe information. 1t merely
asserts that personal effort unrelated
to production is not subject of COM
merce.
The case before the court arose out
of the organization of the former
Federal League. The Baltimore club
was the last member to remain with
the Federal League. 1t sued the Ma
tional and American Leagues for tre-
BILE damages under the Sherman Act,
and in the lower court was awarded
$240,000, on the grounds that the 9TH
er leagues had violated the antitrust
laws in inducing other members to
leave the Federal League, etc. On
May 20 the Supreme Court held that,
however wrongful the action of the
older leagues may have been, the
wrong was not done under a federal
statute.-The Nations Business.

Germany Again Essential
To Foreign Diplomats

Berlin, July 25.-Berlin is rapidly
resuming its pre-war position as a
diplomatic and consular center and
there are today 81 such posts here,
representing So countries, as com
pared with the handful of neutral
and Central European representatives
which remained during the war. The
present diplomatic personnel mum
bers some 1000, to which the United
States, Russia, and Afghanistan are
the most recent contributors.
The legation of Siam is the only
pre-war post which has voluntarily
not been reestablished. Peace was
concluded with that country at the
signing of the Versailles treaty, but
separate agreement still is pending
However, the Turkish embassy, which
remained during the war, was drop
ped in accordance with the demands
of the Entente and that country's in
terests are now being handled by the
Swiss Confederation.
The outcome of the war Is further
reflected in the changed representa-
tion of that territory which formerly
comprised Austro-H Hungary. While it
formerly came entirely under one en-
bassy, since May l, 1919 there has
been a legation for German-Austria,
Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Altogether Germany now finds her
self, after the elapse of three years
since the signing of the Versailles
treaty, with virtually all of her for
mer relations resumed and number
of new ones undertaken. The total
representation includes six embassies,
29 legations, one nunciatory, five
charges des affaires, and two diplo-
matte posts with heads who hold NJ
definite rank. There are 32 indie
pendent consulates and consular rep
resentatives in eight legations, be-
siles representatives of eight powers
whose official designation has not yet
been established. A few of the small
er powers merely have consuls at
Hamburg.
During the war there were only
three embassies in Berlin, those OF
Austro-Hungary, Spain and Turkey,
besides 10 locations, all of which had
consulates corresponding. There
were also the papal representative,
commercial offices of Luxemburg and
San Domingo, and the consulate gen
eral of Paraguay.
Great Britain resumed diplomatic
relations with Germany January 13,
1920, and most of the other powers
followed in quick succession.

Hungry Moslems Prefer
Relief From Turkish Sources

Constantinople, July 25.-Inclined
to be Indifferent to relief from non
Christian hands, the Moslem inhabi-
tants of the Crimea, still in want, are
appealing for succor to the people of
Anatolia, fellow Mosems. we have
hopes that Turkey, Afghanstan and
Egypt will help u.s." they say
through their representatives, "for
we prefer mouthful of bread from
the Turks to sacks of wheat from
other sources
Nevertheless Christian relief is go
ing into the Crimea, for the American
Relief Administration is distributing
foodstuffs there, and the Moslems
also have needed the call. Through
the Red Crescent delegation to the
Crimea, Turkey has sent 10000 sacks
of flour into the district.
The Turkish delegation went to
Baghtela Serai and to Akmezdjed, the
Moslem sections of the Crimea. It's
members say the famine is not SO
acute as it was. Relief is arriving
from various sources.
The Crimea today Is an independ-
ent Federal Soviet republic with a
ministerial council composed chiefly
of Moslems. The people make walk
ing sticks which are sent to Europe
and America for sale, the receipts be-
ing used for famine relief. The
stric ken territories have sent a COM
missioner to Angora, in Anatolia, the
headquarters of Turkish Nationalist
movement, who is laying emphasis on
he desire for help from Moslem
sources. He describes the siuation as
bad Only three schools remain open,
he says; there has been no sowing
of the usual agricultural products,
tobacco, cereals, fruit and grapes, and
the harvest outlook is far from prom
ising.

Miner Unearths
II Prehistoric Bones

Edmonton, Alberta, July 24.-In a
valley of the far northern section of
British Columbia, close to the Yukon
border, which it is believed was never
visited by a white man, Frank Perry,
mining engineer of Vancouver, has
discovered the remains of mastodons
that once roamed Northern Canada.
The location of the valley is not
marked on maps, but it is north and
west of the headwaters of the Find
lay river. Indians will not travel
through the valley, believing it to be
haunted by the giant animals whose
bones they have seen.
In addition to the bones there are
footprints in the sandstone and shale
of some other prehistoric monster;
these are clearly defined marks show
ing that the maker of the tracks was
a three-toed animal.
The bones, which are of great size,
are not fossilized but are in a state
of excellent preservation. Hip bones
and sections of the spine were found
by Mr.. Perry, who believes that by
excavation specimens of much histor-
ic value could be unearthed.
Mr. Perry, a recent visitor here,
spent Id years in the far northern
territoy in the quest of mineals, two
pack dogs being his companions.
Neither canoes nor pack horses can be
used to gain access to the district,
where these remains were found, and
so far the only manner of travelling
has been to live on the game, using
dogs to pack the camp equipment on
their backs. It requires a year to
make the journey in this way. but an
airplan could cover the distance in
few days.

a hardship upon the small, weak pa
per, for the editor of such a paper
found himself bereft of one of the
greatest means of stimulation-the
exchange of ideas. He could not af-
ford to pay fifty or one hundred dol
lars a year for the papers that ne
had been accustomed to receive in eX
change for his own, hence he crawled
into his den and entered upon a period
of isolation. Now, isolation is not
good for newspaper man; in fact,
it is very detrimental to him. Isola-
ton breeds narrowness, destroys
vision and encourages egotism. The
habit Of exchanging was, and is, a
good one for all concerned. We are
very glad to have back the daily and
weekly visit of our friends of former
years. And rest assured we have
embraced the opportunity to have
every one of them visit us. The extra
papers we print each day will not af
feet our financial situation in the
least, not cause the paper supply to
give out nor work any i'll to the gov.
ernmcnt nor to anybody. Besides, II
is nobody's business: least of all, the
governments, whether we give in ex
change our paper for another or dc
not so do. There never was any sense
in the resolution. 1t worked harm

This and other popular concep-

here today by Tom Peete Cross, pro-
fessor of comparative literature at

one of the judges in the selection of
a $4,000 prize winning scenario from
the 27,000 that were entered by anna
tenrs in a picture play contest re-
Gently conducted by The Chicago
Daily News.
"Smooth-s -shaven faces have been
the style ever since nine-tenths of the
amateur writer's were born," said DR..
Cross, "but the great majority of
contestants specified in their stories
that their scoundrels should have bold
black moustaches. The idea that

those enemies with general villainy
and wickedness.
"They terrified their children with
stories, myths and legends of black

Sea raiders and buccaneers of a later
period cultivated the sweeping sable

"This may seem odd in day when

The newspapers of the state
through the decision of a recent meet
ing of the South Carolina Press Asso-
citation. have returned to the custom
of exchanging papers, a custom in
vogue before the war. The custom
was discarded during the war by order
Of the government, the purpose being
to save paper. 1t never was any bus
mess Of the government TO Interfere
with the custom, and did not help IN
the least. If the various branches of
the many governmental agencies had
had refrained from the gluttonous use
Of pamphlets and circulars, the con-
srrvation would have resulted in a
greater saving Of paper. Even to this
day there must be many tons Of paper
mailed out Of Washington each dav in
as useless propaganda as ever was
devised in the mind OF man. Just why
the government reached the con
clusion that it had the right, and that
1T was necessary to restrict the full,
free action Of the newspapers is rot
apparent. With the exceeding waste
full methods Of operation instituted by
every department Of the government
during the war, it was bit ludicrouS
to have the newspaper managers for
b'dden to give their paper to each
other. 1t does not appear that it was
n question Of right, any more than
~ would be question Of right as to
whether one farmer exchange a bushcl
Of corn with another farmer for a
bushe Of oats. The whole operation
of the restraining order was out of
line with common sense. 1t worked

Public Schools in Manila

Manila, P. l., July 2O.-Approxi-
mately 100000 children out of the
estimated total number Of children of
school age of 1,796,OO0 were admitted
to the public schools when the sessions
opened this week, according to the
bureau of education. This is nearly
the same number as attended school
last year, the policy of the bureau this
year being simply to keep open the
present schools and not to open new
ones owing to the necessity of econ
omy.
The average cost of instruction is
approximately $11.50 pupil per year.

Yesterday the cannery began opera
to operate two hours. In that time we
canned As cases of two dozen to the
case. We are ready to receive toma-
toes from every contractor every day
in the week except Saturday. But we
want red ripe tomatoes. not tomatoes
half green like those sold upon the
streets. We have no place to put
them while we await their metting

on the vine is sweetcr. We have a
splendid plant; it operates smooth as

This season will have to be largely
educational. But we have planned 10
take care of 1000 acres of produce,
and can easily do it. Our chief trou-
bic now, in fact our only trouble worth
mentioning, is the lack of capital to
operate. We have made this known
before; we now make it known. We
need the financial support of every
fair minded, broad visioned man and
woman in the county, merchant, bank

that we have right to ask such sup
port. 1t is q bit humiliating to us to
meet with the cool response on the
part of some who by all count should

Odessa Smiles Again

Odessa, July 24.-American relief
has done much for the people of Odes-
Sa.
Four months ago their condition
was heart rending. In March and
April the city streets were unlighted;
starvation killed faster than the au-
thorities could remove the bodies of
it's victims; the hospitals were in un-
speakable distress and from them
and the Children's Homes the death
carts made constant trips day and
night to the city cemeteries.
Workers of the American Relief
Administration see today wonderful
Improvement. The people who walk
ed dejectedly through the streets
three months ago now smile, and the
children have begun again to laugh
and sing and enjoy themselves. They
are nothing like the careworn and
hunger-pinched youngsters who skunk
or crawled about in the spring.
Hospitals now conduct visitors
through their wards with pride, for
they have clean linen and ample med
icnie to care for their patients.
Storekeepers who in the trying
days feared to resume activity, think
ing that desperate people would loot
their places, have reopened their
doors and Odessa's shopping zone is

Prohibition Factor
In Cutting Poverty

New York, July 24.-Prohibition
has been big factor in cutting down
poverty in families, according to sta
tistics just issued by the American
Association for Organizing Family
Social Work of New York and the
Boston Family Welfare Society. In
ten of the II cities listed, however,
there were more families under care
during the "dry" year than in the
"wet" year.
Mrs. William T. Tilton, chairman
of the Boston society, declares that
figures in the survey which she con-
Quoted, prove that there has been a
reduction of 85 per cent in cases where
drink was factor in the poverty of
the families included.
"Such good results under partial en-
forcement," she continued, "are sig
nificant of what we may expect when
the dry law is properly enforced. They
are not just statistics, but they repre-
sent human beings made happier by
the absence Of intoxicants from their
lives"
New York city, according to the fig
ures, has shown reduction of Ga per
cent, the year 1917 and 1921 being
used. Rochester's reduction is 81 per

MANY TOURISTS
At RAPID CITY
BLACK HILLS LOOKS FOR BIG.
GEST SEASON IN ITS
HISTORY.

Rapid City, June 26-The tourist
season is well under way and from
the outlook at this comparatively
early stage of the season, it is going
to be the biggest season in the his
tory of the Black Hills.
The Custer Battlefield Highway
maintains registers at all points
along the line, the Owl Filling Sta
tion in this city being one of the of
ficial register stations. According to
the register maintained at the sta
tion, 60 parties of tourists passed
through Rapid City during the
month of May When the exceeding
ly bad weather that prevailed during
the most of that month, is considered
that is quite a remarkable record.
These 60 parties came from widely
scattered points, some in the state
and many from other states.
During the first two weeks in June
80 parties, consisting of about 100
people, passed through Rapid City
over the Custer Battlefield Highway.
The majority of these parties carried
their own camping outfits .and spent
all their time enjoying the outdoors
They came from as far east as New
York state and from as far north as
Canada and from as far west as Cal
ifornia. Many of them were going
to Yellowstone and Glacier National
parks, some were going on to the
west coast and many Of them were
going to spend a week or two in the
Hills and then return home. One or
two parties were from the west and
were going east.
