 NEW ORLEANS, March 26- Baseball times have changed. The lot of the recruit or rookie today is nothing like the old days when newcomers were hazed almost con stantly and made good only after a survival of the fittest physical ly.
 Now a youngster frequently rooms with a veteran and the two dwell together, during the train ing season, in peace and harmony. ''It was not so in the old days said Manager Jack Hendricks of the Cincinnati Reds. Then the old fellow would have taken the young fellows tobacco, his shirt and his girl"
 The fresh brothers" have pass ed. along with the hard boiled veterans. At any training camp there may be seen group of players in which stars of the game and headliners of the minors or colleges are huddled together. with the athletes defying immedi- ate Identification.
 The old men now give the young ones hand, teach them the pol ish they can acquire only in the major leagues, and help them to get ahead generally.
 The last big hoax reported from major league training camp had no fresh youth but player wise in the ways of the majors as the victim.
 Days are long and pleasant for the young fellows under hot

Another Alsace-Lorraine Settlement.
1st L,ouis Globe-Democrat. )

F Settlement of a boundary dispute between Peru and Colombia has just been ratified with friendly help from Brazil and the United States
 Ecuador's wedge-shaped east end so Juts 1nto the 71OOOO square miles of Peruvian territory that the northeastern portion of Peru consists or an irregular area connected with the rest of the country by a narrower neck of land between Ecuador and Brazil This northwestern section is shown by the maps to be thrust into Colom- bian territory as to be bounded on two sides by that territory, and through it flows the Putumayo River after paralleling the old Ecuador-Colombia frontier for a long distance. However the maps will have to be changed, for Peru has long claimed a narrow strip bounded on the north by the general line of the Putumayo River, which is one of the headwaters of the Amazon, and on the south side by the old Ecuador-Colombia line.
 The claim to the strip of Colombia went back to 1777 but Peru claimed it under general and later treaty made in 1851. Though the world heard little about it at the time, this IS one of the Latin-Amercan disputes which Secretary Hughes was enabled to adjust before he retired from office A concession by Brazil to the Co.,
 ombians of the free navigation of all Amazon tributare. and a small gift of land to give ac- cess to these waters in one place helped in the adjustment.
 With this corridor, 300 miles long and from fifteen to sixty miles wide, extending from the Brazilian line west almost to the ocast noun tains, Peru will have the most remarkable con tour of any country in the world. It must be greatly impressed with the superiority of peace fu over coercive methods of settling Alsace-Lor- raine issues In this rich district of forests and probably also minerals it has quid pro quo for the Tacna-Arica land it has been fussing over so long. If the average width of the strip is thirty-seven and one-half miles, its must be more than 11,00O square miles. The Tacna- Africa desert, for whose nitrates world demand is
 essening, has only 9,250 square miles.

DOWNWARD TARIFF REVISION
 NEEDED.

By an impressive majority of more than twenty, thirteen Republican Senators voting with the Democrats, the Senate recently recommended
 a downward revision of the tariff That the recommendation ought to be followed at early date is obvious marked reduction all along the line ought to be the first step toward the removal of the tarn from politics and it's place ment in the hands of an expert, non-partisan tariff commission. It would be far easier to build mp low tariff to scientific basis than to tear down prohibitve tariff wall. The burden of proof ought always to be those who want a high tariff on any particular schedule. It ought not to be necessary to attack the interest of any particular industry in order to get schedule reduced The popular interest, the natural in- terest, is that of the consumer in getting his needs at low price practicable. The industry that needs such protection that would cause an increase of price ought to be required to prove the necessity and the benefit the protec- ton will be to the country considered as a whole

THE REAL ISSUE IN TEXAS.

Texas is overwhelmingly for Prohibition, says Gov. Moody Very well. That means that Pro hbition has ceased to be an issue in that State for the present at least. The real issue there, whether Texans realize it not, this year is whether not Texas wants to force Prohibition on New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Montana and other States that have voted over whelmingly against it. No one objects at all if State goes dry and stays that way, but it was never intended when the Union made that Texas, the Dakotas, Kansas, Alabama, Georgia and few other dry States should force their ideas of living upon other States that were sup posed to have self-government
 No people ought to this more clearly than those of Texas where State rights has been a political cornerstone since the beginning of her association in the Union. She tried to escape from the Union once because of her contention that other States were trying to dictate to her.

MENACE OF PROPAGANDISTS.

One of the menaces to democracy in the United States is the existence of so many pro- paganda organizations formed for the purpose of putting something They espouse some law or regulation and devote untring energies to have the hobby accepted as the paramount prob lem before the people. They try to make the posi- tion on the question to promote which they are organized the sole standard of measurement for qualifications for any office. The various propa- ganda organizations magnify their menace to or derly progress by the formation of combinations of organization for the purpose of carrying cleo tions. In section they will trade with free traders and in another with protectionists In one State they act with Democrats and in an other with Republicans. They not concerned with questions of efficiency and honesty as long as those they support are with them the one and only thing in which they interested.
 The public welfare often is minor point posed of notorety-chasers people who want offices Frequently the real impetus behind them is the desire of someone for easy and pleasant job. An enterprising citizen will organize a so- ciety for the protection of something, for the abolition of something, for the promotion of something, etc. The next step is to get one or persons who restless because of a desire to make sort of splash in the world and who have money to spend in order to gratify

 It is too bad because the well-dressed Tulsa fire fighter must wear such sombre attire as belt, black bow tie. gray shirt and other quite anaemic trappings.
