A Comparison

We were talking with Fish Commissioner Henry O'Malley the other day, and he made the statement that "seiners can fish any place a trap can fish, and at any time." The ignorance of the practical difficulties of the fish business is well portrayed in the above statement. We doubt very much if this so-called expert could tell the kind of fish that was swimming about his boat from observing the way it jumps.
 We were in Clarence Straits the other day when fierce north wind was bloWng Not single seiner to be seen lwthin thirty miles, for the reason that the waters were too rough, and also because the seinng grounds are in bays and narrow channels. But we stopped at two traps and learned that these two traps alone, to say nothing of three hundred other traps in this division, caught that day over 10000 salmon.
 MT. O'Malley says that it is his business to see that fish get to the spawning grounds, and he thinks it is all right and fair to close up the bays and inlets, the only place where the seners can work, under the pretense that the seners can fish out in the ocean or in the large straits. He refuses to recognize the fact that under his rules fishing can be done only with traps.

"1009o Americans"


 How many of us, born here or elsewhe1 could qualify as Hundred per cent American?" Scarcely one, because, in truth there is no such American Listen to the words of a typical western editor, that vigorous type of the Amer ican who reads in the quiet seclusion of small town, who thinks and reaches his conclusions with careful perspective - much truer than that of the man in large city. That is the real American. 1 am quoting now the editor of the Rockville Qndana) Tribune "a small Main Street paper if you wi but with editor welding a trenchant pen and seeing things with crystal-ike cearness.
 "There is no such thing as hundred per cent American, says this American of the true type Most of doing right we'll if we can qualify one-haf per cent Americans. What is hundred per cent American? Let us name few things that none will deny as being among the attributes that define hun dred per cent American. He must first of all, before considering his rights, have higher regard for the rights of others; he must obey the laWs-nOt the laws he chooses himself to obey and demands enforcement on others, but ALL the laws. He must never swear falsely to a tax return; he must never run his autO- mobile on the public highway faster than the speed laws declare; he must observe whatever laws are made to preserve the sacredness of the Sabbath; his daily fe and particularly his nightly life, must be such as to cause his fellow citizens to respect him as a man of high moral ity. And above all, when it comes to casting stones, he must himself be without sin.
 "To be one hundred per cent American must be one hundred per cent Christian He must always and everywhere observe the Golden Rule. He must put in practice the percepts of the Sermon on the Mount. In all sacred and profane history there never lived but one Man who could qualify as a hundred per cent American and men who deny or abridge the rights of others for religion or race should remember that that Man was Jew.'-EdWard Box.

ties" since the low point of the
year in May, but it is almost all
in farm products. The figures by
classes of products, showing prices
at the peak in 1920 at the low
point in 1922, in July, 1924, May
and July, 1925. are given above.
Rubber was one of the impor-
tant factors in the rise of "miscel-
laneous" commodities between Nav
and July, 1925. The list as a whole.
however, does not indicate price in
fation, and the temper of the bust
ness community is still against it.
The principal factor in the pre-
vailing state of confidence is the
restoration of practically balanced
relations between agriculture and
the other industries. A recent pub
lication of the Department of Agri-
culture gives calculation showing
that farm production in 1924 had a
relative exchange value in terms of
non-agriculturaf products amount
ing to about | per cent above the
average of the S years 1of0-1of4
On the whole the comparison for
the year 1925 probably will be moro
favorable to the farm than that for
1924.
Shipments of agricultural imple-
ments and vehicles from Mime
apolis in the first seven months a.
this year aggregated 2,241 car
loads, against 1865 carloads in all
of 1924.

count rates of the Reserve banks

During the past month the Bank
of England has reduced its discount
rate from S to ~ per cent. and
as the open market for bills is
only about 3A per cent and the
call market 81 per cent there is
some talk of a further reduction.
American banks have been employ

the prospects for profits by the rise

sterling has reached par and inter-
est rates have declined over there,
1t may be expected that these funds
will be brought home as wanted

an additional supply. So long as
there are no signs of imitation in
commodity prices, the Reserve bank
rates probably will not be advanced.

II HE general outlook for bust
i ness continues to be very sat
isfactory to those who have
steadfastly maintained that 1925
would give a good account of it
self. Pessimism has been fading
out since the crop prospects began
TO improve in the latter part OF
May, and confidence is now well
established, although not agrees
sive enough in trade circles to work
any pronounced change in buying
policies. The opinion prevails that
conditions are favorable to large
volume of business this Fall-prob-
ably the largest ever handled-but
the productive capacity of the coun-
try is now thought to be so large
in all lines that there is no un-
easiness about ability to get goods
as wanted, or at the present price
level.
This continued absence of the
speculative spirit in the goods mar
kets is the dominating feature of
ahe commercial situation and also
of the credit situation. Money is
slightly hrmer than month ago,
and doubtless the demand will
strengthen as business gets into the
Fall season. but mere increase OF
the volume OF goods in distribu
ton does not ordinarily cause any
very pronounced increase in the
use of credit. 1t is increased buy
ing against future needs, and rising
prices, which cause credit expan-
sion on an unusual scale, and at
this time there are no signs of
these influences coming into play.
The volume of trade moving is
large now, and the facilities for
handling more on the present short
order basis are ample.
A state of monetary ease exists
over the country, partly the result
of the liquidation Of slow paper
which has beer going on during the

Chicago White So1
Finished Eighth in 1924
Won 6s. Lost 81, Pct, .431

II have thought all along that the
| White Sox have the ability TO win
| the American League pennant. We
| weren't a real tail-end team last
year. That's all l care to say now"
Thus Edward Trowbridge Collins,
| new manager of the Comiskey ma
chine which started with such high
hopes behind the late Frank Chance
a year ago. sums up the situation.
! The decentralization of the Sox
through the training and playing
season last year because OF the alb
sence of their leader, he believes to
have been the cause of a sorry finish
by a band Of men with great latent
ability.
There will be no lacking in leader
ship this year. Collins has been walt
ing for his chance after a wonderful
career as a player. Every member of
the team is with him, and II there is
strength in union and power in cohe-
sion, Chicago may see wonder
worked.
But-and this is a big but-before
the Sox can be contenders they must
fill gap at shortstop and they must
find somewhere at least two capable
pitchers. These are the contracts
Collins now has on his hands.
Many a game slipped through the
shortstop position in 1924. With Her
vey Mcclellan out of the lineup Bill
Barrett an outfielder, was tried.
There seems the chance that McClel-
Ian will not be strong enough to go
through this season and Collins has
five other young men to work and
is trying to train one up to the class
of a regular. Ike Davis, who has
been tried out on other training trips
with the Sox and who played last
year at Columbia, apparently is the
most favored. although Frank Wo-
Jack, little Jess CortazZo, Jack But
Ter and Clyde Rentfrew all will be
given an opportunity. With Earl
Sheely at first, Collins at second and
Willie kamm at third, all the in
field needs is shortstop OF ability
to rate with the best.
Harry Hooper, Bib Falk, Johnny
Mostil. Roy Elsh. Barrett and Maurice
Archdeacon will fight it out for the
outfield places. They can all hit and
field and the manager will not have
great trouble in choosing a capable
trio.
Ray Schalk, up to last year the best
catcher in base ball, will attempt
comeback this Spring. II he can make
it. the Sox will require little help be-
hind the bat; Clyde Grouse and Jack
Grabowski are both of good major
league caliber.
Hollis Thurston ousted Red Faber
as the teams star pitcher last year.
Added to this pair are Gorham
Leverette, Ted Blankenship and
Charlie Robertson. all of whom were
disappointments, more or less. Ted
Lyons didn't quite come up to his
minor league promise. Mike Gwen
gros did a lot of work, some of 1t
creditable. George Connally was an
in-and- -outer. Lefty Davenport has
been brought back from Minneapolis
and Milton SteenRrafe from Beau
mont.
Collins has half a dozen others. As
stated before. two steady regulars
must be found to back up Thurston
and Faber, or all the efforts at up
building will be for nothing.

batting eye over the past two years.
Last Winters trade with the Cubs,
which brought Grantham- AldridGe
and Niehaus to Pittsburgh in eN-
change for Maranville, Grimm ana
Cooper, will benefit the club. Eddie
Moore, one of the finds of last year
will supplant Maranville. He is
faster will hit better and can be de-
pended upon in a pinch. Aldridge
will win as many games for Pitts
burgh as Cooper will for Chicago.
Albert Niehaus, first baseman, last
year with Chattanooga. has shown
enough in camp to satisfy me that
first base will be well cared for and
that he is stronger hitter than
Grimm. Grantham will give us the
needed punch and will be used as an
alternate in the outfield or as a regu
lar outfielder. Fresco Thompson, OBJ
tanned from Omaha, will add to the
reserve strength of the inield. The
youngster is fast and should develop
quickly.
The regular pitching staff of last
year has been strengthened by the
addition of Bernard Cullton, a semi
pro pitcher picked UP in the middle
of last season and who has developed
into dependable hurier. Louis Kou-
pal, who won % games with Omaha
last year, and Don Songer and Joe
Brown, from Oklahoma City, are
others.
The catching department has been
strengthened by the addition of Roy
Spencer from Birmingham. Joe
Cronin, a sandlot infielder from San
Francisco. has been the sensation of
the camp. He needs seasoning and
will be farmed out for future use.
All signs point to the club being a
pennant contender from start to fin
