CLUBS
 HITTING LUCK

LOS ANGELES, July 1.- The releasing and signing of players has fans of the Los Angeles and Hollywood clubs of the Pacific Coast league puzzled to say the least.
 Los Angeles released Fred Haney. third baseman, and Ray Jacobs, first baseman, and Hollywood snap ped them up. The Stars cut Fay Thomas. speed ball pitcher, loose and Mike Gazella, third baseman. The Angels signed both of them.
 Haney is leading the league in stolen bases now, with seventeen. Jacobs is the home run king of the loop with twenty-three circuit clouts. Thomas has proved to be one of Los Angeles most reliable pitchers and figures to be even better when night ball gets under way. Gazella, who was added to the roster only recently, is expected to fill the gap at third.

LARGE DEMAND FOR TB TESTING.

The demand for the tuberculin test by owners of cattle herds in g States is greater than the veterinarians, employed by the State and Federal Governments have been able to meet. During April 1883, there nearly 100000 cattle on the wait ing list in those States according records of the United States Department of Agriculture
 Five States-Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri New York, and Vermont-each had more than 100000 cattle on their waiting lists. The other 18 States had substantial though smaller numbers of cattle await ing official tuberculin tests.
 These waiting lists continue to exist notwith- standing the large volume of testing conducted. In April the total number of cattle tested in all States exceeded million, with five States each testing more than 50,O00 and two of them exceeding the 100000 mark.
 This work is being conducted comparatively in the 48 States and in Hawaii and Alaska Nine entire States have practically eracaed bovine tuberculosis from their borders and others are expected ao make similar showings before the end of the year.

against it. In three months after the opportunity was presented onethrd of the 48 States have turned thumbs down. Only 20 more are needed to effect the change.
 For 20 years prior to last Tuesday on every vote, West Virginia had steadfastly chung to the Dry side of the argument. It ratified the repeal resolution by decisive majority This clearly indi- cates the trend of sentiment in the south. It doesn't differ from the trend in other sections of the country Indiana first showed how the Mid west regarded National Prohibition repeal Iowa confirmed it. AS other Southern States vote this Summer, there is doubt that West Vrgnia's accuracy as a barometer will be equally well estab- lished.
 Repeal is a foregone conclusion More than that, it is not of the indefinite eventuaties It will be effective just soon as the necessary number of States have voted on the proposition. And that will be before March Is of next year The Drys will do well if they abandon the fight against delay, their efforts to stem the irresistible tide, and join the real friends of temperance in working out some system of control of the liquor traffic that will effectualy bar the old evils of the saloon system

CONSPIRINfs AGAINST NATIONAL
 WELFARE.

If there is plot afoot to defeat the Roosevelt Administrations program for national economic re- covery. as Senator Capper, Republican, of Kansas, charged in address at Grand Rapids recently, it ought to be exposed in the fullest details with as little delay as possible. Such a plot, coming it does in these times of dire distress would be nothing less than conspiracy against national welfare and almost reasonable. This is not the first inklng that interests seeking to take selfish advantage of the Administrations pro- gram Senator King, Utah Democrat, had some thing to say about price hiking" and Gen. Hugh S Johnson Administrator of the National Recovery Act warned publicly that unreasonable advances of prices would not be tolerated. Neither he nor Senator King intimated this might be part of a deliberate plot to defeat the program, but it is not impossible that such was the case.
 Only very foolish very foolhardy interests will undertake such scheme Every sane we'll balanced trade association, or it's leaders, must recognize that such plot will inevitably be dis covered that though there is deliberate plot to defeat the Administrations plan, any organ ized effort by any individual corporation trade association to make quick profits by unjustified price boosting, cannot succeed except for brief time The facts cannot be concealed from the Administrator and his power to punish is great his power to assist AS Walter Lippmann pointed out in his article in Thursdays Empire:
 If the men who organize the co-opera
 ton these laws permit foolish, short
 sighted, greedy for quick profits and for little
 advantages they will discredit the whole
 experiment. Let them not imagine there will be
 no reaction if they being allowed. The
 reaction will be swift and drastic and they
 will not like it when it comes.
 As he further urged, this is no time for American industry, American labor American capital to seek special advantages for selfish purposes All of them in the boat All of them must honestly and sincerely come in the new deaI' with clean hands. More than that it is a part of their duty to see that all labor, all industry and all capital does the same thing. If they do not, and by so failing aid in wrecking the Administrations recovery program disaster awaits not only them but the whole nation

The Salt of the World.
(NeW York Times.)

AS President Lowell defined the salt of the world, they those who do not lose their heads in times of public distress or excitement
 who hold on to themselves who keep
 their calmness and balance of mind, striving
 to see things in their true proportions, un-
 disturbed by prepossessions, and on the
 other hand by fear by halluncinations or
 the outcries of the mpulsive multitude These words were addressed to his last graduating class at Harvard, but they might be heard to ad- vantage throughout America and the world at this moment when all the savor of such saltiness is needed to keep life sound and wholesome
 Among the essentials in society is personal char acter-supporting standard of conduct beyond mere enforcement of law The qualities of which it gives evidence in man are the enduring things, and to them we must turn in times of crisis, which means that they must be there at all times President Lowell has been saying this in his living for all these years as man, as teacher, president. And it is to be hoped that now that he lays aside the routine responsibilities of office, he may have more freedom to give advice in public affairs. He should be especially helpful in enabling others to distinguish between the lasting and the temporary in political, economic and social order, between the things essential to the framework of every good human society and the expedients useful for the moment not letting these impair the permanent structure"
 The world needs the salt of such wisdom. The sum of Dr. LOwell's advice is to hold fast to yourselves" In one of the Gospels it is written: Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with another"

able.
 The battle which has just been won by the President will have to be fought out again and won at least once more. He should not fail to make his position impteg- nable by doing not only: justice but the most generous kind of justice to the veterans whose claims upon the government are indisput- able.
 The Senate vote indicates that in upholding these principles no reliance can be put upon the Re- publican party In the Senate, the Republicans were unanimous in wishing to break down the pension reform For once the two wings of the Republican party found some thing to agree upon, and the re- form would have been seriously un- dermined but for the fact that fifty out of fifty eight Democrats Counting pairs) finally voted to uphold it.
 This action of the Republicans has been thoroughly denounced by leading Republican newspapers. It is well to ask ourselves why on this issue the alignment in the Senate was almost exactly on party lines. Is it that the Democratic Senators are individually mor e public spirited and courageous than the Republicans There is no reason to think they are. What, then, is the probable explanation? It must be, I should suppose, that the Democrats are bound together by the national program of the Ad- ministration and have staked their personal fortunes on its success. The Republicans, on the other hand, have no program, nor even a negative program of opposition, and therefore for them it is case of each man for himself. The Dem- ocrats know that they will be re- elected if the Administration is generally successful. The Republi- cans have to scrabble around for odds and ends of votes wherever they can find them. Were the po- sitions reversed, it is more than likely that the votes would have been reversed.
 From the point of view of the President, the moral is clear. It is that the only sound policy from now on is to do only those things which will make the program suc- cessful. No concession is worth making which in any respect en- dangers it. No clamor matters. No pressure matters. If the program fails, no concession of principle or of patronage will stop a popular revulSion. If the program suc- ceeds. no pressure of factions, no clamor of minorities, no partisan agitation will make any important difference.

The Administration aud the Veterans
By WALTER LIPPMANN

The last vote taken in the Sem ate was on the Administration con- promise dealing with the veterans
 allowances. This compromise, while it liberalized the payments, main
 tained intact the principles of the reform which was instituted in March. It confines payments to those veterans of the World War
 whose injuries or illnesses arise from their military services; it strikes from the rolls those whose disabilities have no connection with the war; it provides for a review of those cases where the connec- ton between war service and the disability is not clear. This does not mean that the first rulings of the Administration are now final. They can be revised They undoubt- edly will be revised They should be revised.
 My own belief, for example, is that payments to men actually dis abled in battle, to men suffering from diseases directly arising from
 the war, and to the widows and orphans of men who died in the
 service, should be restored to their
 original amounts. The only justi- fication for reducing these allow
 ances in March was that all wages
 and salaries had to be reduced,
 that the cost of living had fallen
 since these allowances were first
 established, and that a moderate
 reduction in dollars represented no real loss of income. Since that time the Administration has, how
 ever, embarked on policy de- signed to raise prices, to raise
 wages, and to increase the income
 of farmers. It would be consistent
 with this policy, and an act of
 justice, to restore to the genuine | ly disabled and to the dependents
 of those who died in the war, the
 allowances which they formerly re- ceived.
 Having done this, the Adminis- tration can with clear conscience
 and with overwhelming public SUD-
 port resist any further attempts by Congress to put men on the public payroll who have no better claim as against other citizens than that they once wore a uniform. The attempt will surely be made. Next
 winter Congressional election will
 be in sight, and the pressure on individual representatives will be very great. The test will then come as to whether pensions are to be
 paid only to those who suffered
 in the war or in the end to all men who were mobilized. That will
 be the essential issue. If the de- cision is to confone pensions to the genuinely injured, then the coun- try will have been protec etc d against the creation of privileged
 class drawing public money in amounts that will become unbear-
