always be known to the country at
large as the Senator'S" and now that
they have given the name such a high
place in base ball history, why should
they want to change it? OF course
there is less respect for Senator's in
Washington than in any other part OF
the country, but the old ball team has
done its best to knock out the tradi-
ton of the prophet and his own coun-
try.
Students of criminology in some OF
the larger cities are convinced they
have reached one solution of their
problem-provided they can carry il
into effect They are agreed il would
be a great deterrent to the average
run of crimes if the professional
bondsmen could be done away with
In New York City particularly the
work of the bondsmen has bordered
on public scandal. Occasionally bond
ing agents have come to blows in po-
lice stations and at the very thresh-
olds of the court as to which should
have the "honor" and the ernoluments
of setting u criminal at liberty. They
have even tried to kidnap the ac-
cuSed.
The system" in New York never
ceases to amaze the police. Its most
remarkable manifestations are in the
cases of rum runners. a police boat
will chase a runner in from Sandy
Hook or the Narrows. capture il and
its crew, and by the time the prison
ers are landed at the Battery bonds
men are on hand TO get them out
How they get word to be there no
one knows. Evidently there is some
way of signaling to buddy on
shore that the goose momentarily is
cooked. Some OF the runners have
been arrested and bailed OUT four or
five times before being tried on the
original charges. The professional
bondsmen make it possible for them
10 continue TO operate.
If real estate security were required
in all cases students Of crime believe
there would be material lesseninE
of the present wave OF diSrespect for
the law. Perhaps in some cases such
system would work hardships, but
it also would work toward a much
increased population in the city and
county jails with fewer lawless
spirits abroad in the land.

hurt in the course of the game, but
through their own misfortune and not
by the undue activity Of their op-
ponents.
Such a series is highly creditable to
the ball players. The public appreci-
ates the fine spirit displayed by both
winners and losers. The game gains
in popularity and appeal by this ex-
cellent record of fair play on an occa-
sion when feelings have been wrought
to IA high pitch. Every man who par
tlcipated in those seven games is en-
titled to the thanks of the patrons of
the sport for the performance.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Delivering the Goods.

Delivering the Goods.
The base ball player goes his way
In earnestness complete.
He never poses to display
A disposition sweet.
He doesn't talk about unrest
In phrases fine or fiat.
He simply does his level best
And lets it go at that.
While many seek a trick to turn
With strange and subtle skill,
He asks no more than he can earn
BY sturdy strength and will.
And most of us might be more blest
If each decided that
He'd simply do his level best
And let it go at that!

BY THOMAS r. MARSHALL,
Former Vice President of the
United States.

Every one just now seems to be
hopeful over the political situation
At least, persons of all partise are
saying they are hopeful, but along
toward the end Of each conversation
inevitably ghost appears and casts
Il shadow over the optimism. 1t
arises out of the uncertainty over the
80 per cent or the so per cent, vary
ing from time to time, of the voters
of this country who do not go to the
polls. VIII they go this Fall, and if
so, what Will they do? Politicians
and citizens generally are seeking
answer.
We feel it is the duty of every citi-
zen who has had the ballot given
to him or thrust upon him to use it.
The ballot is not an article of art,
to be held IS curiosity. 1t is a real,
living thing that must be used or in

men die physically from no disease
but from inertia. IntelleCts dwarf
because men cease to think. Souls
shriveI and blow away because they
are not exercised. Likewise a re-
public will die of the dry rot of non
voting. This is as dangerous to
republic as treason from within or
assault from without.
Some Reason for Non-Voting,
/ have no defense to make of those
citizens who have the right to vote
and voluntarily deprive themselves
of its exercise. Yet there is some
thing to be said for them and i'll their
defense. So much vituperation has
been INDUCED in by rival political
organizations, so many charges and
counterchargeS have been made. so
many men have condemned politics
as crooked and dishonest, so many
smile at the suggestion of honesty in
public office, that ii is no wonder that
men and women who have not the
leisure to separate the truth from
the falsehood, to pick out the ocCa-
SiOnal dishonest man from the many
honest men in public life, have just
naturally reached the conclusion that
il does rot make much difference how
things go, things will not go right
in any event
Their attitude of mind is not un-
like that of the lawyer who was ex
asperated over the delay of an hon
est but stupid judge in handing down
a decision. Approaching the bench,
he said to the judge: For Heavens
sake, your honor, rule; rule either
way. 1t doesn't make any difference
how you rule, you will be wrong
anyhow"
Sex Problem in Suffrage.
When the fight for the woman's
suffrage amendment was on 1T was
not a question of politics so much
as il was sex problem. The un-
franchised women knew they were
citizens. but they wished to get away
from the status OF the woman-the
legal status of the woman. They OBJ

sexes in American life.

Fire Prevention.

Fire-prevention week in Washing
ton was marked by only one blaze of
any consequence, and that occurred,
oddly, on the morning Of the first day.
Yet 1t was not because Of a concentra-
ton Of local thought upon the subject,
forasmuch as most local thought was
centered throughout the week upon
events in New York and at the
Georgia avenue stadium. Now that
those events have passed into history,
and the city returns to a state of mind
to consider other things, it will be well
to have a supplementary Fire-preven-
ton week, extending into a F'ire-pre-
vention month and year and indefinite
period.
Fire is waste. 1t is preventable
There is, in truth, in the ordinary ex-
perience no such thing as an iunpre-
ventable fire. In every fire-save that
which is caused by stroke Of light

other day, these bonds are especially
attractive as an investment, yielding
more than 712 per cent and running
for 25 years. They are fully secured
as they are entitled to absolute prior
ity as regards German resources, even
over reparations. 1t is no wonder
therefore. that they are so greatly in
demand.
There might be two possible reasons
for a failure Of this issue in the United
States. one is the prejudice on the
part of people against investment in
German security because of feelings
remaining from war time. The other is
doubt as To security. Evidently neither
