In any event, whether the Tigers

The complete list will not be de.

and Del Pratt. pitcher ana second
baseman respectively, last year
with the Boston Red Sox.
Another who is sure to get his

It's Merely Hot Air.

A LII this talk Of baseball war
A is merely hot air, to be ex-
= = pected at this time of year.
It assists in keeping the fans in-
terested during the off season.
President Nc Carthy, of the Pacific
Coast League, shot fiery darts at
Judge Landis. He would tear down
the walls of organized baseball,
etc., etc.
Then his league magnates went
into session, and four Of his clubs
refused to back him up. One, Los
Angeles, is owned by the Chicago
Cubs. Three others owe large sums
to major league clubs. Naturally
the quartet decided to stay where
their bread might be buttered.
Common sense should prevent
the Pacific Coast League, or any
other. for that matter, from de-
claring war. Defeat is as certain
as the rising of the sun. But it
makes great reading for the Winter
League bugs.

prefer to see Rube Benton and
his troubles drop quietly out Of
sight. He Is alleged to have had
guilty knowledge Of the plot to
toss the 1919 worlds series and
to have capitalized the same. That
this is only an allegation IL due
to the fact that organized base
ball cannot afford to press the
issue further.
It cannot afford to bring the Ben.
ton case before the public because it
win lose favor, no matter what de.
cision is made. If he is cleared of
the charges the public will be di.
vided into two camps-those who
think that Benton was greatly i'm
posed upon and those who think
that he was whitewashed.
If he is proved guilty. organized
baseball will be placed in the em-
barrassing position of explaining
why Benton was permitted to pitch
for the st. Paul club of the Ameri-
can Association in spite of the fact
that his ethics were under suspicion.
Having nothing to gain and every
thing to lose. the magnates fell back
on the obvious solution. to wit: Ben.

ball.
Garry, the good, old Hermann,
would have none Of this, however,
and in consequence OF his fevered
mouthings from Cincinnati, the Ben.

nence that back-stairs gossip no

yearly. Recent strikes in coal fields
and on railroads have shown that
neither of them can be relied upon
and that the only real solution OF
the matter is to become independent
of them both.
Water power developing 100000
horse power is now being used in
New York, saving annually 10000
900 tons of coal The United States
uses 100000 horse power gener-
ated by water, a saving of 80,000,-
900 tons of coal annually, and there
is latent horse power of 50,00O,0O
more, or a saving of 100000
tons. 1t would still be necessary to
use 1OO,O0O,000 tons of coal year
for heating.
Our present form of government
is apparently successful for the main
reason that United States in a rich
country full of great natural re-
use them wastefully for many years.
The time is coming when we cannot
longer use them 80 recklessly. We
must make the best use of what we
have. We must do things, bigger
and better things than we have ever
done before, but we must do them
by using intelligence.
One of the most wasteful methods
we have now for instance and one
that is responsible for part of our
high prices is the way we have OF
delivering goods. Some even think
that the small retailer will in time
awake to find himself passed in the
race and that there will be no place
in the commercial fabric of the ma
ton for him any more. l do not
believe that is exactly true.
There Is certainly a frightful in
efficiency among the individual small
scale distributors and great loss in
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1923-06-28

the high prices that they pass down
to the consumer. And l do believe
that either our industrial progress
will come to standstill and we will
begin to go backward, or else we
must adopt the same methods In the
field CT distribution that are already
being used In the field Of production.
There is possibility that efficient
distribution on a large scale vii wipe
out the mass of small distributors
unless they, too, become efficient.
The elimination of the conservative
middle class would spell disaster.
So the small distributor must give
earnest attention TO keeping down
costs. He cannot afford to deliver
by old-fashioned methods. He must
take advantage of the power of cleo
tricity, not alone In the proper light
ing of his place of business, but in
deliveries as well. The electric de-
livery truck will cut the costs of the
distributor, and that will ultimately
cut the costs to consumer.
1t is foolish to merely predict
great things for the future of cleo
tricity while there are so many ways
Of solving our problems by it now
We are on our way to great discov-

cries as to new and simpler means
of creating electrical energy without
the use of coal. But it behooves
us to make the best and fullest use
of such things as electricity has to
offer in the present.
1t is possible that the future of
the world lies in the hands of the
botanists who will, sooner or later,
tell the farmers what crops to grow
to get the most out of the suns
energy. But the present of the
world, and particularly America, lies
in the intelligent economical use of
what we already have.
There is no ultimate benefit to the
consumer if the great factory turns
our goods at an economical price and
then the delivery charge added to
them make them so costly that only
few can possess them.
Heat and the ability TO move rap
idly from place to place are the two
great necessities of progress in this
climate. But much of the problem
in delivery of goods to the house
holder lies not alone in speed, but
in speed at small cost and with the
minimum of repairs. l see in the
wider use of the electric delivery
truck very great step in the right
direction. BY its use the small dis
tributor will keep pace with the
times and cut his costs to mini
mum. Through its use prices to the
ultimate purchases will drop.
We are nearing the edges of new
geological era. Coal and oil are not
going to last forever in quantities
that make their present wastful and
use possible. Even
water power is not so plentiful as
many suppose.
While all the water power of the
United States is put to work from
the smallest static head to the great
est cataract. the horse power pro-
duced will only equal that now pro-
duced by the 9O0,000,000 tons of
coal consumed in the United States
every year. Water Power alone will

There is available in that state A.
100000 horse power, or a saving of
