pion. johnson refuses to cheer
until twehty-three have been
played. Yes, he's a canny
thinker, all right.
However, the human equation
counts heavily in baseball as in
everything else. Mathematics are
cold, heartless, giving no count
to the human equation. But how
frequently is the mathematic
routine kicked in the face by some
poor mortal. The history of base
ball is filled with such examples.
The human equation in this pen

After witnessing the wild out
burst on the Washington bench
during that eighth inning explo-
sion Thursday, this writer insists
that the Griffs have within them
selves the strong possibilities of
winning the pennant by sheer en-
thusiasm. OF course enthusiasm
by itself could not effect much,
but the Griffs have already proved
themselves one of the strongest
teams in the history of the league.
Couple their strength with their
enthusiasm and you have a COM
bination capable Of going on right
down the line, fighting off all
opponents and rushing over the
line in first place.
Bucky Harris is driving his
team wisely. His rules of con-
duct are elastic, though not to an
extreme. He does not have to
be watchdog over any Of his gang.

"When would you be willing
to admit to yourself that the
Griffs were likely to win the
pennant?" this writer asked
johnson. $50
"Well, that's a funny question:"
was his reply. "If you insist on
some kind of an answer, I'd say
that when we leave Chicago for
the last four games of the season
in Boston-well, if we're leading
then by enough games so that
we could win by breaking even
with the Red Sox, I'd begin think
ing we were in"
Can you beat that for canny
thinking? Yet those are. the
words of Walter Johnson.
"You know" he went on, we've
got a lot of hard games coming
out West. Cleveland and st.
Louis have been hard for US to
beat all year. And Philadelphia
and Boston in the East are not
what you might call easy to beat.
We have six games with Philadel-
phia and seven with Boston, not
to mention six more with Clele-
land and st. Louis. That makes
a total of nineteen games with
hard teams and the season is
pretty nearly over as it is. No,
l wouldn't want to say we were
likely to win until ] know how
we stand on leaving Chicago"

People who do not drive automo-
biles sometimes complain about the
enormous sums of money spent on
highway improvement. The roads, "
they say, "cost a lot of money and
the car owners get most of the
benefit" In a measure that is true

the car owners get most of the

more thar pay for the roads. The
federal government, for instance,
reports that it has paid out $264,-

highways, forest roads construc-
ton and expenses of administration.
But this is not tax on the non
ear owner because the government
has collected $5S9,012,021 = taxes
on automobiles, tires and accessor-
les. This leaves more than three
million dollars of automobile money
to be turned into the treasury foI
general purposes. 1t is not neces'

WHAT OTHERS SAY

The merchant who always says
advertising does not pay is always
ready to pound the money order
houses that gets all their money
through advertising. A business
man whose business won't stand ad-
vertising makes a very sorry figure
in any community. A business that
won't stand advertising is a mighty
good business to avoid and it is gen
orally by the people who buy. But
it is true that some advertising does
not pay. The ad that sounds as if
it was written just to help the edit
or, the ad that does not tell the
truth, the ad which gives no descrip-
ton of goods, no reasons, no price,
no inducements, does not pay. The
up-to-date merchat does not adver-
tise to help the editor, but to help
himself; who spends time and takes
care in preparing ad copy, has no
trouble to make his advertising pay.
He wastes no time cussing the mail
order houses, but fights them with
their own weapons and wins.-Tow-
er News.
The next legislature will probably
pass law levying tax on gasoline.
The first reason for levying this tax
is in order to derive some revenue
from transients for the use of Min
nesota roads. The cost will be in
significant and one which most
tourists will be glad to pay in ex-
change for the privilege of motoring
over well kept highways and enjoy
ing the scenic beauties of the land

constitution relating to the DISPOSE
ton of the funds accruing from this,
tax is to be voted upon this fall.
If this amendment is carried the
money will go where it should, on

mental in. collecting it. If it fails,
the amount collected will go into the

Much criticism and ridicule has
been heaped upon the officials of
Cook County for the building of the
Gunf1int Trail, more recently known
as the Jake Preus boulevard. It is
easy enough to give credit to the
story that the railroad was pushed
to give access to property owned by
the governor but to the person who
makes his first visit to the interior
of Cook county the impression is
that the opening of the beautiful
lake region of Cook county is the
best possible business course. Cook
county, while it has some fine agri-
cultural land. is so far removed
from the market that it cannot hope
to gain wealth from that source and
while it is known to have an unlim-
tied store of minerals the Access
sibility of minerals already explored
and made accessible to good harbors
will be taken first which make. the
development Of Cook county a long
ways off. The building of the new
North Shore drive has made it pos
sible for the Cook county to cash
in on one resource. however. which
can be utilized at the present time
and the building of the Gunflint
trail is a most sagacious move on

selected for it's recent progress in
highway development, because of the
efficiest methods employed here and
on account of the types of roads
built and maintained through
swampy sections which offer solu-
