"Capitalism" as lined iii this connection may be assumed to mean the system of private ownership and operaion of business and the payment of regular wages to workers, the owners being entitled to atfair return for their invested money, provided they can get i'. in other words, a system of fair and. free competition in which private enterprise asks no favors from the government and in re ' .-.turn is" unhampered by official interference. Russia is the only large' country which has given a thorough trial to any other sys tem, and its experience has been so disastrous it is not surprising it should seek to 'get out of the dangerous whirlpool and back to solid ground. Ever since 1017 Russia has been a laboratory for experiment ing with almost every known socialistic and communistic theory. Lenine and Trolzky have made real what Karl Marx and the rest only dreamed. They started in by "nationalizing", nil industries, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation. The peasants were; Tmide tn hunrl over to flip Kbile nil stirnlnses nf ornin nnd c:iU.lo.

Raker is planning on making that day a gala one on their spoit calendar. Constant work and boundless enthusiasm mark their preparations and if the Pirates ride in the same carriage with the Colts it means that their spirit must be avowedly greater. Need less to say, both cities have first class baseball nines about on a par with each other, nnd with nil things even, spirit always wins. The La (Irande athletes are doing their share, practicing night ly whenever possible, whipping into the necessary shape, and grinding ahead with victory as their goal. And it is only just and right that the city support its team, in reality the only team truly representative of the city as a whole, nnd by support we mean not only the financial Variety but the moral kind, for the moral kind is mightier after all nnd with that spirit in evidence, financial support cannot be wanting. The Pirates are not likely to lose many games if a crowd of ardent rooters are cheering them, urging them, helping them on to victory. Rack them up.

Every international matter that comes un one hem's a lot almut the three-mile limit. Now, the supreme court has decided liquors may be sold by any ship outside of the three mile limit. j Rut why three miles? Kvery nation is supimsed by common ' consent to contml the sea three miles from her coast, hernusn in early days the longest ranged gun was three miles. Today w e have the thirty and forty mile gun, but the nations have made no' change in the three mile limit. j If the area set aside for each nation from its coastline is to bo! gauged by the range of the guns of the nation, why should not the three miles be raised to forty? In this ovent the ruling of the supreme. court relative to the sale of intoxicating liquors would be different nnd the general trend of international mutters would be revised.
