natl manager. "Donahue is one OF

was finished big Lacquer when no

When pitcher comes 70 you d.
rect from some college, no matter
how much natural ability he may
have, you figure he viii need at least
years experience TO polish him up.
He must learn TO watch the runners
Then he must change his style to-
suit various situations. He must
learns his batters; also a score OF
other things.
"Donahue seemed TO know all
those things when he Joined the
Reds. He had the ability and poise
OF big Lacquer. He knew how from
the very start"
There you have picture OF Pete.
Donahue as big Lacquer. as painted
By his manager. He is one of tho
pitching stars Of the major leagues.
What about his college days as
pitcher2 Recently had a chat with
Texan who was familiar with
Donahue as collegian and he re-
lated many unusual and amazing
things about the Cincinnati star.
Would you believe it possible for 2
college pitcher to work eight no.llit
games during his career and lose
seven OF them?
No. Well, that is just what hap
pened TO Pete Donahue as a collie
.gian. Seems as tho that would have
been enough to have made Donahue
quit the game in disgust instead Of
inspiring him TO win fame as big
Lacquer.
Donahue's college record in base
hall is without parallel.
PITCHED GOOD
BALL IN SCHOOL
Pitching for the Texas Christian
University of Fort Worth. Texas. he
on four occasions pitched no-hit
games against the Southern Metho-
dist University, and lost all of them
by the scores of l to 0, . TO ] and
twice by a 3 TO 2 margin. Peculiarly
enough in three of the games his own
errors caused his downfall.
Pitching no-hit game Is out of
the ordinary When twirler comes
thru with such feat he is usually
returned the winner. The fates. how
ever, were unkind to Donahue as
collegian. To pitch eight no-hit,
games and lose seven of them seems
like hard luck in its hardest form.
Despite his hard luck in three years
Of college pitching Donahue won As
games and lost only 10. and don t
forget in seven of those defeats he
held the opposition hitless.
No wonder Pete Donahue Is one of
the pitching stars of the majors.

THE CHILD VEL
FARE MOVEMENT

One OF the most noble develop
ments Of recent years has been the
child welfare movement. The whole
future of the country depends upon
safeguarding the rights Of the chill
dren. Where the little ones are
taken out Of school at too early an
age, or where they are forced to
work long hours, they stunt their
little bodies over tasks for which
they are not fitted. 1t is possible to
condemn shildren for life to poor
physical and mental development by
TIE improper use of child labor
The Democratic party has done
the most to relieve these conditions.
All through the industrla. states of
the North, the Democrats have been
extremely active in welfare legisla
ton for children. They have worked
TO get the age for school attendance
raised, to limit children's hours of
abor, to secure adequate inspection
and sanitary conditions in factories.
Legislation of this character has
frequently had to encounter bitter
opposition from Republican sources,
due to TIE desire Of business in
terests to keep down the cost Of
their labor. But it is mighty poor
policy to sell the souls of our chill
dren for less expensive manufactu1-
ing production.
The general policy of the party
was cxemplifed by Governor Cox CT
Ohio, last Democratic candidate for
the presidency. Under his admins
tration q mothers pension system
was adopted that enables INDECENT
mothers to keep children in their
own homes instead Of sending them
to institutions.
The policy Of the Democratic
palsy in this respect is that the
welfare of the children comes first
The money to be made by employing
children is a minor consideration
which should not interfere in any
way with the proper safeguarding
and development of those children
for citizenship.

THANKFULNESS FOR
OUR COUNTRY

The American people frequently
get tired and Disguised with the way
things go. They rebel at the height
of taxes, failures of government,
cost of living. And yet if they study
all that 10 going on in the world,
they may thank their stars that they
can enjoy the blessings Of life in
this country.
There is reason for congratula-
ton that our people live in a land
practically free from that most ter
rible of all disasters-the earth
quake. The land is solid under our
feet. If buildings are properly con
structed, the slight tremors occur
ring in some sections are among the
least of our perils. After viewing
the awful ruins of Japan, this is not
a slight blessing.
When you look at Europe one
can be profoundly thankful that one
is not citizen of those countries.
In their conflicts ,and jealousies,
they may not be worse than our
own folks. Those hostile feelings
are the result of being crowded too
thickly together in narrow ter
ritory.
Our folks might be equally diff
ficult to control, if they lived in a
country with insufficient resources
to support the population, and if
differences Of language and race
and religion marked off their various
elements into antagonistic and in
tensely jealouse rivals.
Fortunately we live in a country
that is big enough to feed our peo-
pie. We do not have to grasp and
quarrel for mere existence. We all
speak one tongue, or nearly so, so
that the more bitter misunderstand-
ings do not arise. Our purposes are
much alike, in spite of unfortunate
class divisions. Everyone believes
in democracy. 1t is Gods best gift
to humanity to live in country like
this. We should remember this,
when we get to fretting over some
relatively minor trouble.

THE GREAT SCOURGE
Of HALF TRUTHS
BY JOHN oAKwooo

A soap.boxer pointed at a great
factory. who built that factory!
WorkmenI" he yelled. who run the
machines? WorkmenI Who get the
profits? capltallsts!"
The soap.boxer told a half truth
that amounted to a whole lie. His
listeners did not know that that par
ticular factory. typical of thousands
OF others. was complete refutation
OF the lief only the other half Of
the truth were told
1t is true the factory was Capital.
ized-for million dollars. The net
profits gave annual dividends of 6
per cent. or 100000, to the stockhold
ers. All that was true.
But 1t was also true that the mil
lion dollar capital was divided up
into ten thousand shares of 500
each. The ownership of these shares
was distributed among about one
thousand people. Several hundred Of
them were workmen in the factory
They were saving out of their weekly
wages and buying shares on the in
stalment plan. They were Capitalists
It was likewise true that shares
we're also owned by workmen in other
factories. by clerical workers and By
small merchants A good many were
also owned by widows and orphans
whose modest estates had been wise
ly invested for them by their bank
ers. They were Capitalists.
It was also true that the factory
corporation had issued million dol
lars in bonds to raise funds to buy
the material and pay the wages OF
workmen to build the factory. These
bonds were owned as investments not
only by persons Of wealth but also by
many people of moderate means who
had saved out OF their wages and sal
aries. They We're Capitalists.
AND was also true tndI OUT OF the
receipts Of the factory, before cent
was taken to pay interest on the
bonds, before a penny was used to
pay dividends on the stock, good
many dollars we're taken to pay
wages to the workmen.
The workmen were Capitalists too.
They were investing their strength
and their talents and their skill in the
Ractory-they were getting their divi-
dends out of its earnings as well as
the stockholders and bondholders.

NO BOON IN
CHEAP MONEY

One thing that has to be given up
is the idea that cheap money is al
ways good for business. Farmers
want cheap money, business men
want cheap money, stock spectators
want cheap money, the U. S. Treasury
wants to float government loans on
cheap money, socialists, anarchists
and oldline greenbackers want very,
very cheap money. Everybody feels
that when the money rate is showed
up it Is an arbitrary damper on pros
perity.
But we cannot have both a low rate
on money and a stable level Of prices.
We can have one or the other-not
both together for any length Of time.
A low rate of money means an In
lated price level. A stable prize
level means fuctuating rate of dis
count. That is, the public must learn
to look at the price level instead of
the bank reserves. as their measure
of expectation for a rise or fall Of the
value of money.
Now this fact makes me feel that
mistake is made if we do not fully ex-
plain to the public the power already
exercised by the bank rate and the
Federal Reserve Board and Reserve
banks. Our bankers and economists
see the bad use that is likely to be
made of political control If banking
and currency and they try to make the
people believe that so intricate Ques-
ton must be left to experts.
AS a matter Of fact our present
methods encourage the very thing we
wish to avoid. We let everybody be-
lieye that low rates on money are nee
essary for prosperity and then when
bank reserves run low on account OF
the effects of this belief, we are sud
denly compelled to jump the rates to
protect the reserves. We get both
cycle OF prices and a cycle OF bank
rates, whereas, if the public under
stood that the rise of bank rates
should not wait until bank reserves
are low, but the rates should be ad-
yanced several months ahead for the
very purpose of preventing fictitious
prosperity with its inflated price level,
then the public might be satisfied 10
support the administrative regulations
which raise the rates at time when
there seems to be no need of doing
it.-John R. Commons, University OF
Wisconsin.

ELIMINATING COMPETITION

Competition is the life of trade,
according to an old saw that used to
be regarded as automatic But some
of our modern philosophers say that
competition is a cruel and ruthless
kind of a force. The claim that the
people who lose out in the competi-
tive race suffer hardships and losses
that may never have been deserved
They may have done the best they
could.
But for some mistake or lack of
natural gifts or because of some
fraud or oppression, they are beaten
down and distanced by shrewder
people, and they never get decent
chance in the world and their lives
are a failure. They feel that com
petition should be discarded as a
force in human society, and that CO.
operation should take its place.
The trouble with this theory is
that competition is deep rooted in
human nature, and a quality so firm
ly planted in the heart must have
served some useful purpose.
Boys and girls in school begin at
once to do better work under the
stimulus of competition. Where be-
fore they had been listless, if you APP
peal to their sense of emulation,
they get busy and learn their lessons.
Competition is found far back in
animal life. If fast horse goes
ahead of slow one, the latter will
prick up his ears, stir his lazy bones
to action, and do his best to recover
his position. A quality found so far
back in the evolution of animals,
cannot be at once rooted out of hui
man nature without destroying some
thing of virility and power of
achievement.
Where business men are compel
ing actively with each other, the
community is pretty sure to get
good servece. But many men, if
deprived of the stimulus of COMPETE
ton, will become Indifferent and will
slacken in their attention to work.
