LITE IS LIKE A pENNANT RACE

The first week of the professlona'
 baseball league season has an in-
 terest aside from the number or
 bits runs. errors, and games won
 or lost by the various teams, lt has to do with the difficulty of getting started" that bosets some of the sontenders for the annual pennants' Some teams that are certain to be near the top of the heap at the finish of the season find themselves down among the lower strata ot the standings. Yet every game lost no" will count just as much in the final result as If lost later in the season.
 A baseball pennant race is pc euliar institution. Not always does the absolutely strongest team in the league win a pennant; some years The team that gets far in the lead during the first half of the season cannot be headed of even by a stronger team. If a strong aggrega- ,,or takes A long time to attain ns maximum efficiency it may nave such an uphill fight e its hands

HINDENBURG'S ELECTION
 AND PREDICTIONS

The newspapers, journalists, pub llcists and editors-including our selves-who with dogmatic decl- sivencss a few days ago forecasted the overwhelming defeat of former Field Marshal Non Hindenburg to- day are forecasting dire disaster to the world as the result of his cleo ton yesterday 10 the presidency Of the German republic.
 Having bet - journalistically speaking-on the wrong horse once, we are not going to join the dis sonant chorus of dismay and predict an end to all peace, recrudescence of warlike activity, or war ifself. We prefer to sit tight and await de- velopments.
 Instead of being a man of iron, or a man with the mailed fist on the table, or an individual who carries a big stick to every meeting, Won Hindenburg may turn out to be a dud.
 His election is in the form of a personal tribute by the nation that once regarded him as it's Napoleon The man who admitted he knew little of politics, disltked to enter into d campaign for votes. who re- fused to budge from his native town of Hanover during the cam paisn, and who admitted he "didn understand the new generation nevertheless got elected. And 1t t declared that the votes of women inc least warlike of the two sexes contributed greatly to his victory
 We cannot understand the presen day Germany Election of Nof Hindenburg may be a perfectly ma turaI manifestation of hero wor ,hin but the effect in other nations cannot be otherwise than discoh ccrting,

FREE ADVERTISING OVER THE RADIO

Free advertising over the radio and through the publication of radio programs is going to have harder sedding than 1t has had since the radio craze started.
 It appears that some firms have been approached with propositions that broadcasting over the radio would bring about the use of their names and the names of their trade-marked articles of commerce in the programs printed in the newspapers, Publishers who have been keen 10 scent attempts at free advertising have been carefully de- letting the free ads right along, but it is probabl that some were not so particular. But even these have come to the conclusion they were being imposed upon and at a meet ing in New 1Ork the oLneT udS resolutions were passed urging others to barr free advertising from radio programs.
 The good will of the public is easily lost through such attempts; and as for the good will of the newspapers which gratuitously pup fish the radio programs. that also is being lost from the standpoint that favors like this will be increas- ingly hard to obtain.
 ] Advertising is advertising, Wheth- CT it appears in the regular bought space or is snatched ill the space devoted to radio information NO firms are justified in expecting free advertising through publication or radio programs while other firms pay for their space.
 Equality before the printer IS something greatly to be desired; and it is about here.

CHANGES NOT WROUGHT Py WONEN'S VOTES

What change has been brought about in politics through woman suffrage? Verify, this Is sometning worth debating about. The Common wealth club might attempt it.
 Some notable women who were prominent in the suffrage battle have been yisibly disillusioned. One of these is Elizabeth Green, who 1n an impetuous article in the New Republic announces she is through with female politics" Those Of us who have conservative minded wives who habitually restrain theIn- selves from getting excited over po- litical panaceas know very well that a lot of women won't need to get through" with politics for the good and sufficient reason that they never got started.
 Two political organizations ol women have been busy since Wom- en got the right to vote. One repre- sents the radical minded, the other inc middle-road liberals. It seems that the conservative women are
 not in any particular womens or
 ganization; it is surmised they vote
 the party tickets more or less
 straight. and perhaps just about
 like their husbands do. Perhaps II
 is unnecessary to add that the ia'-
 fer sort of women arc greatly in the
 majority.
 Great reforms were to be brought
 ehout when women got the vote. We
 still look for the reforms, but fall
 ,o find them. Some claimed that Il
 u.ou,d result in a sex fight the women being lined lip on one s'd' and mere mankind on the other This sanguinary conflict also d'o ; not arrive. Most women are no' . oven remotely interested in se' . fights or utra-feminism, They ar' } chiefly interested in the things tha } have occupied the prime atlenuo' 5 of women from time immemorial 3 and no amount of political perS ' eogo nobbed-hair hallyhooing O l reform ghost chasing can oNds ' them.

MECHANICAL MUSIC AND THE STAGE

The phonograph was going to put ihe concerts and lectures out or business; they also were going to do "irreparable ltarm" to the the- aters; people were going to listen to canned music in their homes in preference to paying to see theatri- cal and concert performances.
 How did 1t turn out? The phono- grarh is with us and circuates by thss million, But we have heard Of few photograph owners who have let the whirling discs keep them away from visual attractions.
 Then the radio came along. This was to be sure-fre thrust at the supremacy of the theater and con- cert room. If you can hear music through the ether why pay to hear if heard at a concert? Or why pay for theatrical entertainment?
 Yet how has it worked? The the aters are still catering to the throngs; the concerts are going along as we'll as eevr. It seems that the public still likes to look at ar fists and players as well as hear them through mechanical means | And here is some of the proof IT the pudding: Some of the stars o' the nbonograph and the radio have been going about the country max ing personal appearances at the atcrs. In all instances there ha been an enormous demand by th' public to see their favorites' Ih' public is willing to pay good mone' for the thrill of seeing their celeb rites in the flesh,
 The same holds good of the moV ing picture business. Scores Of tn film stars are known to the publ through their presentations on tn scrcon: but let one of them in req life come to city and the cro"
 will be immense; the greater tn
 star the greater the crowd.

that 1t cannot land on top at the end of tho season, This is not the- ory; 1t has frequently happened,
 But it has also come to pass fre- quently that a team which began the season in glorious spurt and looked like a pcnnant winner, Topped badly throughout the sruel- ling summer. when tho pennant races, as well as the atmosphere, are hottest. This tendency of an early leader "a June pennant winner" - to become tagged out before the finish of the season tends to even up matters as compared with such strong teams which arc unable 10 show their real strength until about that time.
 A popular poem once had for It's theme the thesis that life is Ike a game of cards" We are inclined to think that lifc Is also something like a baseball pcnnant race. The youth who gets a good start in life at least has the advantage of not being compelled later to surmount the drawbacks Of his early life, al- though this fact alone does not as- sure his supremacy or success at the climax Of his career. The youth who starts well at least will not have serious handicaps to overcome later in the race of life.

How well this has worked is in- dlcated by the success of women's political clubs, so-oalled. which are identified with the regular parties. We need go no further than New Britain, whore during the last cam paign there was a large enrolment of militant women in party ranks, with regular organization enfold- Ing their efforts. and all members miltantly lubilant for the success of the party. Here is where they showed some influence, too, as in- dieated by the election returns.
 Although tho great things that were 10 come about when women voted have been somewhat con spicuous by their absence, 1t must be noted in fairness that the enor- nous evils that were to result have also not come to pass. Families have not been blasted by friend wife voting contrary to the wishes of friend husband. The husband has not gone on the warpath be- cause the better half "nullified" his vote by deliberately disagreeing with his cherished beliefs -- or H. luslons at the polls. Children have not been neglected merely bo- cause mother voted. The baby has been receiving its regular feedinGs despite mothers call of duty at the polls. Things have gone along just about as they did before. The poll tical bosses, instead of being un- harnessod from their august estate, seem to be more strongly en- trenchcd than ever before - al least, in those states where they have survived. The political parties have given women a slight inf1u- ence in the conduct of their affairs but just enough, 1t is suspected, to be a sop to their voting power
 Many husbands don't know how their better portions vote on all de- tails of political matters, and may be some of them don't care; thi' is entirely possible because they themselves have not been greatly excited over electioneering argu mentation during the recent past
 Women voters are independent all right; they can vote just as the! have a mind to vote, only the sun total of their efforts seems to b' in perfect alignment with the sun total of the efforts of mere man who from experience has adopted the easiest way out of the politica 1 dilemma by permitting others to al his thinking for him and voting -- when he does - by getting througl with it in the shortest possible time and everybody knows how that done.
 There ought to be more inde
 nendence in voting than there IS and with the advent of women int
 the voting arena more independ
 ence was anticipated. But ther
 isn't any more of this cherisheu LII
 ticle than there was before.
