Phil BaH Wins Long Fight
 With Commissioner La1dis

1 ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.-Phil Dec atesby Ball, fighting owner of the Browns, IS identified by sports au- thorities as the man behind the gun in the blast which shook Czar K. M. Landis on the throne of baseball at the recent Major League meeting.
 Close followers of the game give Ball most of the credit for pushing through his resolution under which the commissioner would be pre- vented from issuing "interpreta- tive rulings in the case of play CTS owned by "chain-store" clubs.
 The resolution, first successful attempt to curb the commission CTS authority since he was given virtually absolute control of the game 12 years ago, represented just ,12 years of agitation on the part of Ball.
 He opposed turning the reins over to Judge Landis at the start; in fact, is said never to have signed the document giving Landis supreme power.
 Bound to Silence Balls battle won some support from American League magnates but National club owners held out stubbornly against changing the system A clause in the agree ment binding the magnates not to complain publicly against the Commissioner rulings effectually silenced any protest.
 The case of Ray Thompson, Milwaukee catcher transferred to the Browns and thence to anoth- CT farm at Tulsa, added energy to Balls fight. Landis awarded Thompson to Louisville, which had claimed the player on waivers, and threatened fines if similar deals were attempted by other chain store" clubs.
 Rumblings of protest kept com ing to the surface when deals ar ranged by Clark Griffith, Connie Mack and other owners were null lifted by the commissioner, at con- siderable loss to the magnates in- volved.
 Eccncmic Pressure Finally, two years ago, the case of Fred Bennett, involved in a transfer wrangell, found it's way into Federal court at the instiga- ton of Ball. Failing at the meet ing year ago to put through the same resolution which recently car iried, Ball threatened to press the suit in the Supreme Court, but ultimately agreed to dismiss the action flor the good of the game Economic pressure compelling more owners to adopt the chain store plan added recruits te Balls side during the past year AS result Ball, with able as sistance from the biggest chain store owners of them all-Branct Hickey and Sam Breadon of the Cardinals-was able to carry his point.

Rails Take Lead in Upshoot Numerous Issues
 Make Gains

NEW YORK, Jan. 6-The ad- vance was resumed today but with somewhat less vigor, but prices worked higher most of the day.
 Rails took the lead and there were numerous gains of from one to two points in the final prices The closing was firm.
 The list failed to push decisively through the upper resistance levels of the December trading range al- though strength of the recently laggard rails is regarded as en- couraging by some of the market students.
 Wheat Is Strong
 The pronounced streng gth of wheat is evidently factor in the bullish activity in shares.
 Gains of two points were made by Union Pacific, Santa Fe and Allied Chemical but these were re- duced to fractions in late profit taking.
 Norfolk and Western rose nearly three points.
 One Point Gains
 American Can, Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, New York Central and others were up one point or so.
 American Telephone and Tele- graph and United States Steel were up fractions.

Significant

The significance of these reso-
lutionS is revealed by the cir
cumStances under which they
were adopted.
Preceding their adoption there
was read to the Elmira assem-
bly, letter from President
Roosevelt regretting his inabil-
ity to be present. Mr.. Roose-
velt added that he had been
informed of the plans for the
future Democratic units repre-
sented at the Elmira assembly
and he expressed his confidence
that "these will work out in a
way that will be emlnently
satisfactory"
The further significance Of
these resolutions is to be found
in the commentator they have
evoked from leading Repub-
Iicans as well as leading Demo-
Gratis. Speaking for his fellow
Republicans DR.. Nicholas Muir
raw Butler, president of Colum-
bia University, fastened TO
support with all possible hearth
ness" the Elmira resolutions.
In a public statement, DR.. But
ler said in part:

National Need

Neither is this a matter for
States north, east, south and
west to quarrel about. Rather
it is something for them all to
agree upon and carry through
for the relief of the household
of the Nation and for the bet
terment of their government,
"let the axe fall where it will"
Our 5000 counties in the
United States have rightly been
described as "the dark conti-
nent" Of American politics.
And many local governments
are equally wasteful and in
efficient.
The alarming increase since
the Great War in the cost Of
county and local government
is due in part to the vast num-
ber of taxing units leach grow
ing constantly from its feeling
of self-importance."
In many States the governor
has little or no control over
administrative departments, the
mayor has little or no control
over city administration and
county authorities are law
unto themselves in the Squan-
dering of the peoples money
and the miSmanagement of the
peoples business.
Before the depression came
the cost of Federal Govern
ment was decreasing, but State,
county and local governments
cost was going up by leaps and
bounds.
If the New Deal in county
and local governments, which
the Elmira resolutions outline,
becomes the joint pledge of the
party of Theodore Roosevelt
and the party of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the whole American
people will be the beneficiaries.
They will get better govern
ment at less cost in the several
States.
But there will be no New
Deal in county and local gov
ernments, in the States of New
York or any other State, UNI
less Theodore Roosevelt Re-
publicans unite with Franklin
D. Roosevelt Democrats in
fighting for it, because the vast
majority of county and local
politicians will oppose this re-
form to the bitter end.

rolling-pin sort of wife; but
some men enjoy being thought
for and having the decisions
taken off their minds. They
really prefer the kind Of wife
who can take care of their
money and will tell them when
they need a haircut and de-
eide where they are going to
spend the evening.
God made mild, plant, easy
going, diffident men for strong,
brilliant, efficient, practical
women to marry. Just as He
made weak, clinging, ineffec-
tual women, for strong, bril-
liant, efficient men to marry.
At least, that is the way that
Nature often seems to appor-
ton them.
So, when an anxious mother
begs me to tell her how to
prevent her brilliant, intellec-
tual daughter from marrying a
quiet, harmless and apparently
Intellectual young man, my an
swer is "DON'T!" He may be
the only man in the world
with whom she would be happy.
The only vital and important
thing, in choosing a life-mate,
is to find one with whom you
can be HAPPY. That's all there
is-there isn't any more!

"Civilizing"

The civilizing process in those
days cost the lives Of half the
Indian children submitted to it.
It included crooked and thieving
Indian agents, who robbed the
red men and found protection
under the skirts of the politi.
clans at Washington. Standing
Bear went back to his people
with a passionate resentment
against the agents and the mis-
sionaries who were making the
Indian forget his ancient herit-
age.
In his old age he says calmly
that he believes the Indian may
yet save America, a challenge
which is rather thrilling when
one thinks of all it involves.
And he strings his bow and
drives an arrow straight at the
heart of the white mans civilza-
ton, for he writes: IF I to-
day had a young mind to direct.
to start on the journey OF lie,
and I was faced with the duty
of choosing between the natural
way of my forefathers, and the
white mans present way Of CIV
ilization, I would unhesitatingly
set that child's feet in the path
of my forefathers. I would
raise him to be an Indian"
Is it possible that the first
Americans, the true Americans,
the people who owned the soil
and the trees and all that
lived and moved upon the face
of America, the people who lived
and died by simple standards
of decency and honor, have pre-
served enough vitality to influ-
ence and remodel the very civil
ization that has crushed them
like the car of Juggernaut.

meant a new step to take, a
new risk to run.
But today life is daring men
to take the longest step, run
the greatest risk in all human

Indian Utopia

The Indian Of his memories
was a clean, superbly healthy,
rigidly Self-controlled, natur-
ally religious human being. In
his childhood days he was
treated with kindness and sur
rounded with love. For an
older person to strike a child
was an unthinkable brutality.
His education was sensible and
practical and suited to the
world he lived in and the life
he had to lead. Like the an
cient Persians, he learned to
shoot, to ride, to hunt, to fight
and to tell the truth.
Courtship among the young
men and maidenS was con-
Quoted according to rules and
regulations that make the old
fashioned chaperones of the
white people seem lax. Mar
riage was real, although un-
ceremonious. Divorce occurred
about as it now does among
the white races. And the In
dian lived close to nature and
felt the beat of her heart in
every hour of his daily life.
Kinship with nature caused
him to be poetic and sensitive.
It produced great orators, like
Logan and yellow Jacket and
Red Cloud.

it, "Only to the white man was
nature a wilderness, and only
to him was the land infested

one of your own thoughts CIR
control one of your own habits.
For the first only requires
courage. But the second task
requires INTELLIGENCE. And
intelligence will raise more
Cain with your comfort and
conceit than any other force
on earth.
So the job we moderrs are
facing isn't going to be any
snap. And it will be all the
harder because, for the last
hundred years, most "civilized"
citizens have been living
mighty soft. A few of us have
been doing all the difficult
thinking, taking all the danger
Gus risks. The rest have been
carried along. All that the
average man needed to door
had a chance to do-was goose
step. Do what some boss told
him to do. Believe what some
authority told him to believe.
Fit into niche which some
body else had prepared. Fol-
low a pattern which somebody
else had devised. Lead a
canned life. All the real work
and worrying was done by the
master minds. And what a
swell mess they made Of it!
so NOW IT'S UP TO US!
NOW EACH OF US. YOU
AND I, INDIVIDUALLY: -.
HAVE GOT TO GET OUT AND
GET UNDER. AND LEARN
HOW TO RUN OURSELVES
AND OUR COUNTRY.
It's no longer enough to be
brave, or obedient, or respect
able, or efficient, or charming
or self serving.
NOW WE MUST KNOW
HOW TO THINK FOR OUR
SELVES AND FOR TIL E
OTHER FELLOW, TOO.
MAKE A PROFIT FOR OUR
SELVES AND FOR TIL E
OTHER FELLOW, TOO. HOW
TO BE RACE MINDED AS
WELL AS IN DIV1DUA A L
MINDED.
NOW, AT LAST, WE MUST
STOP BEING MARIONETTES,
MANIPULATED BY THE MAS
TER MINDS. AND LEARN
HOW TO BE MEN!
Will that be easy? No it
won't. 1t will be hard. it will
be humiliating it will be mad
dening. it will completely get
our goats! Well lose money at
it-and friends. And get the
worst beating Of our lives. But,
oh boy, what a grand scrap it
will he!
Why am I glad that I'm liv-
ing today? That's why! BE-
CAUSE HERE'S THE BIG
GEST CHANCE AND THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE THAT
WAS EVER HANDED HU-

Can I take it? Make good

New Deal in Local Rule
Upheld by Party Leaders
By James T. Williams, T.

Elmira, N. Y. was recently
the scene of the most encour-
aging and significant political
assembly held anywhere in the
United States in a long time.
Four thousand Democrats,
representing four important
units of their party in the State
of New York, unanimously
adopted resolutions demanding
reorganization and moderniza-
tion of county and local gov
ernments" throughout the En-
pire State.
These resolutions call upon
the Democratic party to pledge
it's consistent and vigorous sup
port to this practical reform
80 as to dispense with useless
offices, define conflicting au-
thorities and center RESPONSE
bility."
Local candidates of the Demo-
cratic party are urged by these
resolutions "to make the re-
form and reconstruction of
county and local governments
their platform and to carry the
issue to the electorate Of the
State"
These resolutions are encour-
aging to the people of every
State in the Union regardless
of political affiliation, because
they provide as good platform
for Republicans as for Demo-
Gratis. Both parties are equally
to blame for the multiplication
of useless offices, for the over
tapping of functions and the
conflict of authorities and for
the stupid dispensing of reSpon-'
sibilities, which make county
and local governments all over
the United States burden and
disgrace.

The Human Side of the News
Story of American Indian One of Betrayal
by EdlUin c. Hill

One Of the greatest Of Ameri-
can Indians, Standing Bear, Of
the Sioux nation, has written
the story of his people. 1t is a
fascinating book and a book
that makes one think. For
Land of the Spotted Eagle" as
Chief Standing Bear calls his
biography of the Sioux, is apt
to raise in any open mind the
grave question as to whether
the white mans civilization is
suited to all the children of
men, as to whether it should be
so inexorably a n d ruthleSsly
clapped upon all races that fall
under the subsection of the
white man.
Very simply and very NOV
ingly Standing Bear tells of
his own boyhood and child
hood, of home and family
among the Sioux, of their gov
ernment and their social Gus
toms.
