A VERY HIGH CLASS COMMISSION.

That there will be real investigation of things by President Hoovers Law Enforcement Commls- sion, without white-washing on one side or pun combe on the other is assured by the character o1 those who constitute the Commission. At least two of the members are men of outstanding National regulations former Attorney General George w. Wickersham and former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. They rank among the ablest lawyers and most fortnight public servants and citizens of the country Wickersham is a Republican and is chairman of the Commission and Baker is a Democrat and ranks second it. Wickersham is Fl and Baker ST. They hail from New York and Ohio respectively.

 The Commission is no packed affair. Neither vets drys will control it. It will seek the truth and apply ripe judgments Several of the Commis- soners, including Wickersham Baker, Macintosh and probably others have expressed themselves in the past in opposition to Prohibition, but there is none who will say that they will be controlled by prejudices. They will enter the investigation with open minds. It is very high class Com mission.

Peace Below the Border?
(Boston News Bureau)

Is a political religious truce if not permanent peace materially nearer in Mexico? The hope would seem to be distinct from the conciliatory tone of the Mexican President, especially in his absolving of the Catholic Church from having anything to do with the recent revolt, and from the new urging by the senior Mexican Archbishop of settlement of the whole difficulty.
 The words uttered on both sides would seem to make an accord not too hard to attain, if consist enty lived up to and especially if given practical ap- pcation by the political powers in Mexico. The drastic restrictions upon ecclesiastical freedom of action-notably in such items as choice and number of clergy, property control etc,-would seem to be the conspicuous barriers just now.
 It was such laws Archbishop Ruiz declares which the church could not in conscience accept It is these which he evidently means when he asks re- consideration of existing legislation, in spite of good will which he finds indicated in the Presi- dential phrases Should there arise any disputed specially authorized representatives" of both sides He would end the confusion between religion and politics"
 Possibly eaton at the collapse of the lat est uprising may have made the victors mag nanimous; possibly the heavy financial costs thereof may have induced a wish for general tran quility. Interesting also is the Presidential predic- tion that the revolt habit will less frequently in Mexico,-although that habit seems pretty per- sistent, and although some will say that with the sort of constitutional below the border there is other real way to register dissatsfac- tion
 Some sort of concordat between State and church however would be gain worth while. Perhaps President Gil a good precedent in what Mus solini negotiated with the Vatican.

many people trying to get into the
games.
My wife and I got off the train
here this morning and went to the
hotel. AS we walked into the lobby
we were completely surrounded by
fans. I was all set for a lot of ques-
tons, thinking they'd be asking me
who 1 liked, what I thought of the
pitchers, and the hitters, and all
that sort of thing. But did they do
it? They did not. The only question
I heard all the time was, Say, Babe,
can you get me a ticket?"
Right now Chicago and Philadel-
phia both are a lot more interested
in getting tickets than in who wins
the ball games. And if any one is
worrying much about scores they
certainly are keeping quiet. You
do hear some discussion about
starting pitchers. And, of course,
I'm as much in the dark as any one.
If I was making a guess, I'd say
that Mccarthy will start either
Root or Malone. And I've got a
bunch Connie Mack will open up
with EarnShaw. And it will be a
smart move, too, I think. I've got a
bunch that either Root or Malone
will go better in that opener than
Bush woodland Earnshaw Ger
tainly is less affected by excitement
and the thrill of the opening game
than either Grove or Walberg. Re-
member this, too. If Earnshaw
pitches that opening game, he'll be
available to pitch again in the
Philadelphia opener if necessary.
and can start still a third game if
the series is long drawn out.
The way the schedule is arranged
with travelling days out and an idle
Sunday, two pitchers, OF three at
the most, can work the entire Sc
ries. I wouldn't be surprised to see
Connie use Grove and Earnshaw in
at least five games, and I've got a
bunch Joe Mccarthy might do the
same thing with Root and Bush or
Root and Malone.
