Ehmke, the star for whom some man

$5O, 900, won 3 games for Boston and
lost 10. He went over to Philadelphia
and did better.
The Phillies were tailenders in the
National League, but their pitchers
shaded the Red Sox. Carlson won II
games and lost IL for Philadelphia,
but he was the only pitcher Of the
staff in that class.
Washington had six pitchers who
won more games than they lost, and
vet the champions of 1925 could not
finish first. Walter Johnson lost one
more game than he won-15 to 16.
The Yankees also had six pitchers
who won more games than they
dropped. Pennock was by far their
best bet for service, but Shocker had
1t on him little for percentage.
Shocker won 18 games and lost 8;
Pennock won % and lost II.
The only pitchers of the Athletics
who won more games than they lost
were Ehmke. Pate and Walberg. Rom

Cleveland had five pitchers in the

about Camel's tobacco quality,
make this test:
Take Camel and any other

shake them up and examine the to-
baccos. Your own eyes will quickly
show you the difference, how the

"The world has been striving to advance in this
direction to discard the old theory of relying entire
y on force and to adopt the method of relying more
on reason. We in danger Of slipping back into
the old formula. The habit and tradition of ages
call us in that direction. We not establish the

This the holy All humanity has laid aside
the burdens of the day that they might rejoice in the
glad tidings of peace earth, good will toward
men, Remembering the sacrifices that Washing
and his patriot army endured for ought not
to shrink from sacrifice make that inspired vision
a practical reality
We would like 20 believe these Mr. Coolidgc's
convictions. To do so, however, throws doubt
his courage.
For it is impossible to any manifestation of
those convictions in the Governments present

THE BETTER, PLAN

AS between the system of pensions for the aged
and great State almshouse, there should be no
hesitation on the part of the Legislature.
The suggestion for centralized poorhouse, 20
cost several millions, is brutal as we'll as costly.
To herd into place all those who have
reached years when they longer support them
selves and who failed to save for such day. is
rather shocking in its theory it is hideous in its
possibilities.
That something should be done to change the
present system Of dealing with those who have com.
mitted the double crime Of growing old and being
poor is admitted.
The present system of county poorhouse lends
itself to abuses, and abuses exist 1t is a system
which has existed, with little change for three hun
dred years
The proposal to abolish the county poorhouse
and substitute great State institution only means
that the abuses will be centralized and multiplied.
Instead, the system which organized labor and
one fraternal order is sponsoring and which has
been tested in other States, is to be preferred.
The granting of pensions for the aged solves
the problem with less hearbreak and with less cost
The measure providing for local option by
counties on this subject is mild enough to aay
any fears that it is sociastic and should be adopted
without opposition.

Must Meet Issue

Seventeen oil companies, con-
trolling 10 per cent of the trade in
Mexico, have thus far failed to COM
ply with the law which goes into
effect tomorrow.
Their request for the postpone
ment of the time limit has been re.
fused.
This brings the question to a show
down, and our State Department,
which has made 1t the subject of sew.
eral declarations, must meet the is
sue.
The firmness of President Gales
leaves no room for anything but
candor on our part.
The time has come to admit frank
ly that Mexico is acting within her
rights, or to take more drastic means
of forcing her to recognize the de-
mands this Government has made.
My own opinion is that the Ameri.
can people are not sympathetic with
the idea of making the issue which
this new oil law presents a ground
for trouble with Mexico.
The Indianapolis times., 1926-12-31
STEVE STAYS IN

Why did the people of this State, and especially
Of Indianapolis watch with interest the court pro-
ceedings at Michigan City, under which D. G.
Stephenson, the maker of governors the dictator
0f the Legislature the idol Of half million
followers, sought to escape the prison cell where
he was sent for the murder of girl?
Only, of course because there half
pectation on the part of many that the prison doors
would be thrown open for him and he would be
started on his way to liberty.
Those who had that opinion did not know the
particular judge. They might have compared him
to some much nearer home and thought that it
an wager at least, that most any plea specious
or otherwise would be sufficient.
And the reason for that belief the fact
that Stephenson, few months ago, startled the
State with his assertion that he could prove by
documentary evidence the existence of grave
rupton and gigantic frauds and then very suddenly
and very inexpncably refused to give any evidence
any documents to the grand jury which in
vestgated.
1t is true that he may have been wise in his
generation when he refrained, If he has any docu-
ments, for he might have suspected much before he
made the sage prediction two weeks before any
vote taken that the grand jury would stand
four to two every indictment and any revela-
tion he made might be useless.
But it is also generally believed and this is
Stephenson might, had he desired, furnished the
very evidence he said in his control
Quite general is the belief that some one,
perhaps the lawyers who made the futile effort to
release him on the slimmest of techncaties told
him that he could use them for his own liberty.
Certain it is that of those lawyers visited him in
advance of every mission sent by the prosecutors.
So Stephenson, by his gesture and his later
failure, had added black chapter to the record
of hate and betrayals corruption and graft, and
finally death which he wrote into the history of the
State.
He had painted himself to those who believed
that he has or had such documents, as one who
trafficked with them and perhaps still hopes to
complete what the attorney general said was an
attempt to blackmail his way to liberty.
To those who may doubt their existence, in the
face of statements from photographers and lawyers
and others that they had seen these documents, he
becomes braggard and bombastic boob
He stays in his prison CELL and there will be
nons to mourn that fate for him.
II there any before who might have be-
lieved his loud assertion that he sent there by
