another to their total. Burkett was first up in the second and he sent a high fly to deep left Fothergill lost the ball in the sun and when he did finally locate 1t, it had hit the ground. Burkett got a wo-bagger out of this break and Robertson sent him home with timely single.
 In the third, Statham wavered just the fraction of an inch, and, with one down, he walked Bassler. He struck Rollins out, however. and then Blooie Blue slammed a single past short. Two men were on and George Cut shaw. who hit well over the 800 mark for Pittsburg last year. was up. The Tigers decided to let George do It." but he wasn't equal to the task. He lifted fly to left field and Clarkie, with his smoked glasses, fo- cussed. read put out" on the ball as 1t came earthward.
 Double Plays Stop Elm
 The Barons ran afoul of a trio of double plays in the third, fourth and fifth and consequently did nothing iii the scoring line. This bad break however, didn't hurt their lead any, for the Tigers seemed as harmless as aspirin. In the fourth Bill let 'em down In one, two, three order and in the fifth he allowed another hit and base on balls but they didn't prove costly.
 In the sixth, the Moleys scored their fourth and final run of the afternoon. With one gone in the half-dozenth frame, Harry Harper got his second hit of the afternoon, the drive going to the sun garden. Fothergill, who came in for much razzing from the stand during the program, let the ball get away from him and Harry docked at second. Harry moved over to third on Taylor's single and came home on Neun's one-ply clout.
 Harry Harper, Stump Clarke, Silva, Burkett, Taylor and Neun drew sew eral gasps from the stands by yir- tue of their lightning like defensive work. These boys played Jam-up ball all the way through and even Burk- ett's error was of the questionable variety. The ball seemed to hit a rough stretch at short and was de- flected so that he could not get it..
 Johnson Is Umps
 Steamboat Harry Johnson, one of the most popular umpires who ever wore a mask in this league, was with the Detroit club and handled the balls and strikes. while Harry Swa- cina looked aftey the decisions on the bases. Steamboat will be back in this league the coming season after sojourn of one year in the Sally league.

The Highway


II saw n wide. sun-beaten street
Where through a throng. with hurry
ing feet
But downcast and industrious eyes.
Swept by-in search OF Paradise.
The street stretched on. a long straight
F. line,
To the horizons far confIne.
Underwriting, shadeless, bare.
And tho poor. souls hat plodded there
Were blind with sun and choked with
dust,
tolled on In the joy1ess trust
That somehow. somewhere. far or near
The haven they ionged for must ap
pear.
And all along this barren way
Were walls to guard the lands1that
lay
Green-wooded. cool. on either side
"Ah, lift your eyes and look" /
cried;
Behold. where close beside you lies
The f1owery vale OF Paradisei
step. one leap, and you arc FREQ
To wander through the shadowy lea.
And lake your troubled souls with
rest"
But words were vain, for few among
The thousands in that hurrying throng
Stayed ven to answer; and those few
Said: Nay. we do as others do!
We follow on. we may no stay;
dare not leave the worlds highway
Go pipe you song. and dream your
dream,
And feed your soul on things that
seem:
But be our haven near or far.
We pince our trust in things that are"

a Characteristic of our customs laws from that date
TO the present
There was a brief interval, 1888 to 1912. when a
system of home valuation was IN force. Because the
plan was imperfect and the treasury department did
cot favor it, the then pending act OF 1912 restored the
iS22-S system, requiring ad valorem duties to be based
on the actual market value or wholesals price at the
time when the goods were purchased in the principal
markets of the country whence imported" together
with certain additions Of costs. charges and commits
sions. and this system has continued with slight modi-
locations down 70 the present time.
onder existing law the importer presents with lis
entry at the custom house an invoice certified by n
consular officer with a declaration by the exporter "a
TO correctness, showing the cost II the merchandise
was purchased or the market value il il was otherwise
obtained The appraiser lat the United States custom
house) reports to the collector what he deems to be
the actual market value or Wholesale price of the mar
ehandise at the time of expectation to the United
states IN the principal markets OF the country whence
the same has been imported.
The federal tariff commission says: THAT the con-
Suiar eertineation of invoices provided by the leRisla-
ton of one hundred years ago now accompIisbes lit
to TO aid the appraisement at the custom house. since
because OF lack of time and for other reasons it is
not a check upon errors or frauds"
There has arisen in the current tariff discussion of
ne oenalng tordney measure an almost countrywide
lemaEa 1or an American valuation plan more perfect
ln is voting details than the 1s33-1s42 measure pro
viced. The disturbed commercial conditions IN Eurn.,
'md the changing conditions at home furnish strong
argument Tor an American valuation system.
The methods by which other countries deterr;no
the import values Of the merchandise entering their
ports differ greatly. A recent statement by our tariff
commission indicates that in Denmark, Sweden. Por-
tugai, Argentina, Brazil and most of the English
speaking colonies systems quite similar to that Of tbe
United States are used; in Belgium and France duties
are based on the valuation of the merchandise on ar
irving at the frontier; in Netherlands the current urice
u that country at the date of arrival. and in Great
britain the price which an importer would paw for the
asteie delivered in bond ut the port of Importation /;
sn.e the countries which levy no lad valorem" tariff
uuties accept for statistical and commercial purposes
inc general statements of their importers and export
ers as to the value of the merchandise which thew
oring into or send out of the country. In the United
States, which has no export duties, the records Of ex-
ports are based upon the wholesale or market value of
the merchandise at the port from which it leaves the
country.

Not Even Silk Ones

There ERE perhaps some prudish
people who will greet this announce

all in their power to prevent women
from following the dictates Of fashion,
but those will be in the minority, as
we shall see. For the simple reason
that stockings in past summers have

very cordial respect is sure to 20 out to the ortho-
COX raDo's OF the Jewish faith" says the Continent.
VINO nave Just voted that ~unfermented grape Juice
Is an entirely acceptable ceremonial drink with which
&c celebrate the sacramental feasts of their religion.
There is ~much-thought admittedly not conclusive
evidence for believing that the Jews anciently drank
on their sacred occasions wines not fermented. But
through medieval and modern times at least thev
have used alcoholic wines. And the decision of ths.e
American Jewish leaders is not made on historic
grounds; it is an entirely contemporary action PROMPT
cd by a desire to put themselves in line with their
country's prohibition sentiment. They were moved.
too, by the knowledge that in some cases the legal
privilege granted rabbis to buy wine had zen awaited
OF by imposters personating rabbis to obtain liquors
Tor beverage purposes. Not even thus remotely were
these men willing to have their faith associated in the
popular thought with bootlegging.
Confronted with this example, what are Catholic
priests and Episcopalian rectors going to do? VIII
they continue to insist on the preposterous PROPOSE
ton that alcohol is required in the wine of the mass
or eucharist to give the sacrament validity? OF
course as long as they do SO insist, the law will pro-
tect them in their right to have alcoholic wine. Amer
lean religious liberty will not fail But how can the
clergy of any church retain public respect while con-
tinuing to affirm that only in grape juice aged enough
to have acquired the poison of intoxication can there
be found the sacreoness which the God of heaven is
wiling to bless! Do they really mean to say that the
liquid as he made it in the grape is not holy enough
for God to accept in the service of his worship? There
Is no theological reason, even in the most extreme Ro-
manist theories, for insisting on an intoxicant LIQUOR
at the altar of God; nothing but precedent can be
thought to require it. But no Christian precedent in
that line is so strong as Jewish precedent. And the
Jews have let their ancient habit go because they see
1t outworn in a new civilization. Are not Romanists
end Episcopalians ready to be as good Americans?"

HOW WILL IT GET By

II it is the expectation of the congress to hold tue
respect Of the people of the nation it will have to
show more decision of character than it has exhibited
in the soldier bonus question.
Politically, congress is located midway between the
devil and the deep blue sea- It will be damned by the
soldiers and their friends if it Doesn't pass the bill and
il will be damned by the taxpayers If it does.
The fiscal affairs of the government admit OF no
more drain upon the treasury for any purpose. Thanks
TO Wilson and his wasters we are as good as broke Tor
some years to come. The taxpayers are even now
round-shouldered carrying present burdens and are
unwilling to have their backs broken by piling any
more on.
No one expects congress to do other than take the
line of least resistance. It will, of course, pass the
bonus bill because it means the payment OF money
and old habits are strong.
It is unfortunate that congress does not contain
men who would set their faces against a proposal re
gardless of its popularity when they positively know
that to make it the law at this particular time means
untold ~hardships upon the people and a handicap to
manufacturing and industry.
Since the boys are entitled to our highest considera-
ton and their just dues will not be out of our minds,
but when we are practically broke and husthng to
meet our current bills, we cannot very well play the
uncle. About the best that should be expected
is to have us care well for those injured in the serv.
Gus day the matter of squaring with the boys who are
able bodied on the compensation no one denies is due
them.
1t is only by the strictest economy that the country
is going to crawl ont from under the wreckage and
costs of war. Once out from under and with the
country going ahead with the old time swing we can
soon be PROSPEROUS again and can stand the financial
undertaking the bonus will require.
If congress contained more statesmen Of conviction
and fewer politicians of policy the country would have
an entirely different view of the bonus and kindred
subjects.
