COURT TEST
Faced By States Compensa-

Cincinnati.-The federal court has
granted writ of error against a re-
fusal of the Ohio State supreme court
to review decision by the Ohio state
industrial commission in the case of
a Cleveland contractor who was as
sessed so per cent of the compensa-
ton award for failing to comply with
safety laws.
Under the state constitution the
Ohio industrial commission can assess
damages in favor of the estate of
deceased workman to the extent of
so per cent in excess of the usual
award where the commission finds
that the contractor has not complied
with Ohio laws that provide for safety
devices.
The contractors object to this pen
atty. They also allege that the con-
struction of the law by Ohio courts
has deprived them of an impartial
hearing and that the constitutional
amendment gives all the rights of
action to employees and no correspond
ing rights to employers.

Blame for the War.

Wearing his marshsls uniform and
carrying the baton of that rank, Presi-
dent Hindenburg stirred millions OF his
countrymen to applause yesterday
when he dedicated the Tannenberg
memorial with speech repudi9ting
for the first time, publicly and Off
cially. the charge that Germany was
responsible for the Great War. The
subject matter of the speech was we'll
chosen, for it concerns a question
upon which there can be little dis
agreement in Germany. 1t was well
timed. for there are thousands of
American ex-soldiers in Paris. But his
plea for an impartial tribunal before
which Germany might appear and pre-
sent her evidence to refute the charge
of having deliberately started the
Great War is, of course, an empty
plea. made in the name of effect only.
A large library devoted to the sub
ject of fixing the blame for the Great
War is now accommodating through
data to prove that Germany inspired
the conflict; by those collecting data
to show that the allies were re-
sponsibie; by those collecting data
from an impartial standpoint, and
from which they draw their own con-
clusions. At TIE same time the mill
tary experts, looking at the war as
laboratory for experiments in tactics
and maneuvers, have tackled the sub.
ject free from the emotionalism of In
ternational politics. But the library is
not complete. 1t will continue to
grow. More and heavier books and
memoirs will be added. And from it
there will come in time an impartial
tribunal to deliver it's verdict long
after Won Hindenburg and the chill
dren's children of his comrades have
gone to join the sleeping heroes of
Tannenberg. This verdict will not
make history; history will make the
verdict.

Mr.. McGilicuddy AYERS i'm his COM
plaint against this offender that his
criticisms have demoralized several of
his best players this season and that
in fact he made it necessary for him
TO release one of them outright. his
usefulness having been destroyed by
the constant scolding he received from
the grandstand. This is not an
unusual case. Certain players are at
times picked out for torment and
ridden" by the crowd, usually under
ioudest voice. Often the release OF a
player to another club has been due
to this fact, and in his new quarters
the player has recained is nerve and
performed so brilliantly that the
patrons of his former club have scored
the management for letting such a
valuable player go
Good sportsman nship demands fair
treatment of the ball players If they
make errors at times they should be
encoura ged to do better work. rather
than shamed by jeers. No batsman
ever hit "a thousand" throughout
season. The mightiest club swinger
will occasionally strike out with base
runners waiting for a chance to score.
That Is why base ball is so interesting.
Its uncertainty gives it the strongest
appeal for support. The true spirit of
cooperation on the part of those who
want the home team to win is to
cheer and not to jeer. to give every
player the benefit of the belief that
he is doing his best and not to shame
him by sarcasm or direct assault in

McAdoo's Alleged Favorite Sons.

Now comes new aspect to the
Democratic situation caused by the
announcement by Mr.. McAdoo that he
will not enter the race for the presi-
Dental nomination next year. 1t Is
averred that he is going to throw his
strength. whatever that may be, to
selected list of favorite sons who most
nearly comply with his prescription of
true Democracy. Foremost among
these is said to be Edwin T. Meredith
of Iowa. who was Secretary of Agri-
culture in the Wilson administration.
Another is Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri, who, however. is a little shy
on the dry question. but occupies a
position OF decided strategic inn
portance. Another is Senator Walsh
Of Montana; still others are Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, Senator Harri-
son of Mississippi, Senator Glass or
possibly Gov. Byrd Of Virginia, Gov.
Mclean of North Carolina, Senator
Barkley of Kentucky, Gov. Donahey
Of Ohio and Evans Woollen of Indiana.
There are some others, who may be
rated in the ia vorite son class.
The object of this cultivation Of
smaller individual booms is unmistak-
able. 1t is to prevent the capturing
of State delegations by Gov. Smith of
New York. Just at present the Smith
boomers are busily engaged in scout
ing expeditions in the South and the
West we'll in advance of the primary
and State convention season. They
hope to line up enough delegates be-
fore the national convention meets to
make unnecessary a move to abro:
gate the two-thirds rule. 1t is indi-
Gated that Mr.. McAdoo will try to
prevent the change of rules; although
he was twice the victim of that cen.
tury-old requirement, he doubtless
does not forget that it was the opera
ton Of the two-thirds rule that pre-
vented the nomination of Champ
Clark in 1912 and eventually permitted
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
II the two-thirds rule stands the field
is open for a wide range of favorite
son movements. But in such a cam
paign of negation-a campaign to pre-
vent the nomination of a particular
candidate-there is weakness unless
some one of the favorite sons can be
placed in a position to concentrate the
scattering vote and overtake the IA
vorite. Otherwise a completely dark
horse alone can win the nomination
unless the favorite wears down the op.
position and crosses the two-thirds line
by virtue of his steady momentum.
1t may be that Mr.. McAdoo has such
dark horse in grooming at this time.

landing of blow by the then cham
pion a shade too close to the zone of
prohibition. In view of the outcome
of the engagement of 1925, this re-
search is quite beside the mark. In
view of a recent encounter, which left
charges of foul blows pending against
the winner, the same Mr.. Dempsey
who is soon to take up gloves with
his conqueror. the discussion of Illicit
taps and punches would seem to be
somewhat indiscreet.
Modern pugilism, it would seem,
calls for more than mere physical
training. 1t requires legal staffs, writ
ing staffs. publicity staffs. financial
experts, boards of strategy. The as.
piring swinger of upper cuts and left
hooks and body punches cannot pro
ceed solely upon his own qualifica-
tions. He must be surrounded by
aides and advisers. by counsel and
literary craftsmen. Gone are the
days when two men. mighty of stature
and in the classic pink of condition"
met with few preliminaries in semi
secret, in the presence of select as
semblage of sporting men, and smashed
their way to victory or defeat. The
proportions have all been changed.
The promotion of fights has become
one of the major industries of Amer
lea. Thousands of columns of printed
matter are poured forth in advance. in
anticipation and analysis, in exploita'
ton, in promotion, and following the
engagement in explanation and ex-
tenuation and in charge and counter
charge. If there must be literary
aspect to the modern game OF fistl'
cuffs, let there be a distinct under
standing that the protagonists of the
art do their own composition. That
would at least add to the entertain
ment.
