PAOB TwkliTB. DAILY CAPITAL JOTJWTAIi, IALSK, OIBOOH, SATUBDAT, JUNE 7, 1913. FOR THE BIG TEAMS Hal Sheridan Says It Is Too Eeaxly la the Game to Begin on It Team . Ar Well Balanced. (By Hal Sheridan. Written for the United Press.) Now York June 7.-1 all the wild kappenings of May during which the Giants went rolling and tumbling into the second division, Brooklyn fairly set thn league on fire and hung tight to the flying I'hillios only to slow down later, and the Pittsburgh Pirates graced the second set if these and other sur prises were rolled into one big gob of fireworks, they shouldn't amount to as much as a penny firecracker if June runs true to the season 's series of sur prises in the National league. Taken as a whole, the league seems to be too evenly balanced to permit a blar.e ' through the circuit that wolld carry any one of the favored far enough in the next few weeks to clinch the flag.. The Phillios, long jinx-ridden, this season have shown as much claim to pennant consideration as the next one, and contenders can't loiter until they turn into tho stretch and then expert to get away with it. Tf the Giants and Pirates get under full steam and the Phillies continue to hold up. look out for the packing of four teams in the first division like sardine in a box. It is a long, weary journey from June nntil October, and as some sago re marked "without fear of successful contradiction" that Home was not built in a day, so it may be said with equal safety that pennants are not won in a day or a week or a month, for that matter. Philadelphia, New York and Pittsburgh appear to be the bost bets for the ultimate National league lead ers. Philadelphia has been going great guns, the Pirates have been trying hard and with the exception of several un fortunato accidents to members have shown class that is dangerous to the aspirations of other teams. With the flianta there has been something lack ing that It isn't too late yet to got the ferocious fighting fervor that re turned McGraw a winnor twice In suc cession. They have occasionally slashed and torn at their opponent, but it has been a wild slashing and tearing, not tho systematic, calculating attack of two and threo years ago. Outside of Mathewson, tho pitching departmeut of tho Giants during May fell way below all expectation. Mar qnard has boon a complete tizlo and Tesrcau an in anil-outer. Also tho bat ting of the team sluinicd. All of which Mawriiss is enough already. Taking it throughout, however, it has not been so much that last year's league champions are weaker, as it has been that the clubs they are playing this year are bettor clubs than the ones they played during the same poriod last, year. Tho Cardinals and Brooklyn es pecially are stronger. Pittsburgh is not as much ttrongor as it was cracked up to be, but tho Pirates certainly have played better ball so far in 1913 than thoy played up to the same timo in 1912. The question finally resolvos it self into how big a load either the Giants or the rirates are going to lot the Phillies grab off beforo thoy come tu their senses and get together. Unless tho prophesied braces and breaks come soon, however, it will be) up to tho fodernl department of justice at Washington to keep an eye on the City of Brotherly Love, To owners and nmnngers of fourteen major league baseball clubs, If not to tho authorities at Washington, it is as plain ns none oil face that an Individual named Cor nelius Mcflillii'udily, alias Connie Mack, and a certain party named Charlie Doiiin, aro openly and avowedly, with malice aforethought, planning a trust that will unreasonably hold every atom of attention in tho country along in (Wolier. Those on the Insldo say the trust will be known as the world's se ries trust, and t lint Connio Mack and Charlio Dooin already are counting as to how they'll spend the money. For bo it admitted that the Athletics this year are the Athletics of two yearn ngone. They aro swinging strong and look like winners at this time. The Cleveland Naps might threaten them, but they'll have to do lots better to beat them out, Washington might cut a real figure if they hd two or three Walter Johnsons in the line up, but as far as Clark Griffith has been ahlo to learn, there aren't any moro like John son at home, and Johnson can't work every day. The Nationals are doing well, and credit is dun them, but on non-Johnson days thoy aren't up to pennant form. Borne real, bang-up sport will be staged within the next week when the Knglish and American 'polo teams come together In their series fur tho Inter national championship. When the Kng lishnien were defeated two years aito, it was all laid to the ponies, which irero, In fact, Inferior to the winners' mounts. In the practice games, the ponies brought over this yeitr by the challengers have shown stamina and in tolligonce; and there are enough of them to permit frequent changes. There re forty-two of them, almost as many as the American team will have at it disposal. All things considered, the games this year will be better to watcTi than they were last year, and the Americans will have to go some to Why Girls Leave School. The idea that children leave school to go to work, because their parents need the money is vigorously comhatted in a bulletin just issued by the L'uited States' bureau of education. The au thors of the bulletin have made a care ful study of trade and labor conditions among the girls in Worcester, Mass., preliminary to the establishment a trade school for girls. They find that from one-half to three-fourths of the girls at work in the factories could have had further schooling if they wanted to or if their parents had cared to insist upon it. The survey showed that the number of girls between H and 16 years of age who leave school is constantly increas ing. During the past five years many more girls between those ages left the Worcester schools than can be account ed for by increase in population. Only abont 17 per cent of them had finished the grammar schools; most of them left in the sixth and seventh grades. I Why did the girls leave school! Va rious reasons were assigned by tho girls themselves. Some 30 girls said thoy "did not like school;" "could not get along with tho teacher;" were not pro moted, or wanted to go to work. Two were working to help pay for a piano. One of these was a cash girl of H years who had left the ninth grade to go to work in a department store for $2, later $2.50 a week. Another was a girl of 15 from the eighth grade, who went to work in a corset factory for $1 and rose to $4.82. Still another girl was tnking music lessons and contributing to the payment on the piano. Twenty-seven girls were found at home. In some cases they had left to help in housework, while few had left at a time of temporary stress, and then had not returned to school. Four girls had changed places with the mother, who worked In a corset factory, laundry or some such place, while the girl, whose wage-earning power was small, kept house for the mother of the chil dren. Curious differences as to what the parents thought they Mold afford were discovered: "The mother of a family of eight children, living in apparently direst poverty, would have been glad to have sacrificed and pinched still furth er to have had hor daughtor stay in school onger, if she would. The moth er of another family of six, living in a comfortable apartment honso, with hardwood floors, piano and other .lux uries, said her daughtor wished to stay in school longer, but the burden of sup porting the family was too heavy for the father to bear alone; so the girl was taken out of school to go to work. A visit to a Bwedish family rovcalod a carpenter and his wifo, a washorwo man, who had just built and owned a new three-story apartment house. Yet the 15-year-old daughter, with a sov. enth-grade education, had been sent to work In a paper-goods factory at $2 a week. "The question: 'Why did you leave school?' was put to somo 335 more mature workers in tho corset trade. Ninety-one per cent of those wo mon had left school bctweon the ages of 13 and 16, and fully 50 per cent bo cause of their disliko of school or he causo they wantod to go to work. Of 74 workers in a clothing factory 85 per cent had left school betwoon tho ages of 13 and 16, 25 per cent of their own vo lition. In the opinion of tho authors of the bulletin, conditions such as wore found in Worcester emphasise tho imperative need for special training of a practical sort for girls between the ages of 13 and 15. In tho main tho children left school eimply because they disliked the school work. Not getting the kind of training they might have liked, and would have profited by, they blindly joinod the army of shifting, inefficient, discontented girls that go from ono mo notonous factory job to another, and. because of their lack of training, rarely rise above tho class of low paid, un skilled workers.

TALKS ON THRIFT. No. 23 Saving for a Home. "The man who owns his own house, who owns the roof over his head and the ground under his feet, whose children have a place that they look upon as their own, gives to himself and to his family a chance a thousand times better than that of the individual who is living in a box called an 'apart ment.' Don't buy what you can't afford to pay for. But remember that if you are really able to pay the average rent, YOU ARE ALSO ABLE TO PAY AND GRADUAL LY BUY THE HOME AND OWN IT." Arthur Brisbane. A trust company in Chicago recently received from one of its depositors this lettor: "I beg to inform you that I wish to withdraw my money from your savings department. I have bought a house and wish to use my sav ings in paying for it. I have no one to thank for this start but your bank. It took me a long time to save what I have, but I never missed what I put away." Homo ownership is one of the most worthy objects for which you can work and save, because, when that aim is realized, you have taken a long step towards becoming really independent. If you aro not sufficiently master -of yourself to curb your inclination to spend your incomo foolishly, yon can novor bo independent of othors. You always will be paying somebody rent, interest or tribute of some kind. One of tho truest things Shakespeare over wrote is this: "No man is free who is not master of himself," and you can not bo genuinoly master of yourself when you pay rent for the privilege of using, as a living space, a portion of tho earth's surface or even a portion of tho tenth floor above the earth's surface. Every man's house is his cas tle. Own your own home and then you can emulate tho spirit of Rob Roy, Sir Walter Scott's hero, who proudly said "My foot is on my native heath and mv name is Mocflregor." Lord Bacon said: "He that hath a wife and chil dren hath given hostages to fortune.' In modern language, that means that when you have a family to support vou must "make good." No matter how thoughtless and ex travagant you have been before, when you have a family to care for you're not much of a man if yon do not start to save money for tho future needs of those dependent upon yon, and certain ly one of the prime needs is a roof over their heads. Put don't pay for a land lord's house. A roof of your own will cover the most happiness. It is worth a lifetime of scrupulous economy, if in the evening of life yon can ho seated before your own fireside, ample provision having been made to care for you and yours. The reason so many are frlendleiw and homeless is because the price of comfort apparent ly Is too high for them. To sacrifice habits thot neither enlarge one's scope of vision, nor bring any permanent joy, is to the average man a burdensome task. There are many building and loan associations to help porsons of moder ate income in acquiring ownership of their own home. But invariably such organizations require that the applicant for a loan hold title free and dear to the land where tho house is to be built, and they do not loan more than SO per cent of the value of the whole prop erty. Right hero is whore the savings bank help the would-be home owner. Use the savings bank as a snfo depository for your money whito you are building up the fund to buy your lots, just a the Chicago depositor did who wrote the letter to the bank saying that "' never missed what I have put away." In Washington state lsv husbands are confined in a country stockade and made to work, flood enough for them, but buy wives may be lar.y still. WOULD SELL TO MILE Utopia Idea of Prominent Divine to Avert Sanguinary Conflict With Descendents of Samurai. A reporter of this journal secured from Pastor Russell for the benefit of its readers the following copy of his recent letter to the government offi cials, showing the imminent danger of war and a sure and honorable method of averting it: Brooklyn, May 26, 1913. Hon. Wm. J. Bryan,' Secretary of Stae, Washington; D. C. Dear Sir: I am addressing you, and, through you, the honorable president of this nation and the honorable members of its congress, upon a subject which I be lieve to be of prime importance to our nation and to the world. I would have preferred to make this communication a private one, but believe that its ob ject will be much better served if it be known at home and abroad that the suggestion comes from a native citizen, a minister and ambassador of Christ, rather than if the same suggestion were to emanate from some official of our government or from a politician. The World's Peace Endangered. A year ago I visited Japan and ob served the congested conditions there prevailing, and learned that her popu lation is increasing very rapidly, while every foot of arable land is under "intense" cultivation. Japan's need for room for her overflow population has already led her to grasp Korea, and it is no secret that she longs for pos session of the Philippine Islands, and would be glad of a reasonable pretext for taking possession of them. Fany broad-minded Americans have sug gested that the United States has no desire to acquire colonies in an imperial sense, and that, therefore, the Philip pine Islands Bhould be surrendered to the Filipinos. The only objection urged against this move is that the Filipinos are not as yet sufficiently advanced in civilization to properly govern them selves. And those most intimate with the situation have not the slightest doubt that if the United States with drew from the Philippine Islands, the Japanese government would irnmcdiato ly take control and shortly the Philip pine Islands would be inundated with Japanese undoubtedly much to their benefit as the latter people are more thrifty and prudent and energetic thau the Filipinos. Some Startling Suggestions. I suggest that the United States gov ernment select from amongst the Phil ippine Islands one island suitable as a naval base, and tender to Japan the opportunity, to take over the Philip pine Islands at precisely the same they have cost the United States. This would give our. neighbors of the Far East exactly what they want, at no price at all compared with the cost of war. Ad ditionally, it would make them our friends, and surely all Americans de sire a world-wide friendship with all nations. I advise that this stop be taken speedily, because there is a "jin go" party in Japan bent upon the acquirement of the Philippines, which party will always be ready to take advantage of such trifles as tho Cali fornia alien law to incite hatred against tho United States and to force their government, against its judgment, to seize tho Philippines. It is human nature for the Japanese to want those islands to feol that they need them. It is practical common senso to say that thoy can take them whenever they are ready. The United States could not retake the Philippines except nt tho expense of many lives and thousands of millions of dollars if at all. Our Japanese neighbors, flu (died with their victory over the Russian navy, and courageous and proud spirited any way, realize fully their ability to cap ture the Philippines and probably to hold them; but they do not realize that a war with America would be a very different one from that with Russia that American pride and valor would spend thousands of lives and thousands of millions of dollars rather than sur render to Japan. Tride, courage, self esteem, confidence, on both sides are the real dangers. Surely wisdom should dictate to both nations that, in the In terest of peace, cause for friction should be a far as possible eliminated. I be lieve that no more fair, no more just, no more honorablo method for adjudi cating this matter can be found than tht we are suggesting the sale of tho Islnnds at cost to the Japanese. Japan would give the Filipino a splendid government better, I believe, than any other nation under tho sun except our own government. No one can visit tho Philippine without feel ing pride for what America has done for that people and done in so un selfish and noble a manner as an elder brother amongst the nations helping i younger brother. Under no circum stances would I favor turning the Thil ippine over to the domination of a barbaric people. The Japanese are not barbarians, but are highly civilized, My discourse in Washington on May 25th, "Peace Desirable, War a Neces sity," was evidently misunderstood by WE CAN FURNISH Fir, Oak, Spruce, Mahogany, Spaulding FRONT AND FERRY some of my peace friends. While I claimed that nations have never been able to avoid war, and that they never will be wholly able to avoid it until the inauguration of Messiah's kingdom, nevertheless I believe that all lovers of peace should unite their hearts and voices and pens and every energy in removing all unnecessary friction be tween nations, by doing in advance those things which would make for peace, and by promoting them. For instance, if the move I am suggesting were delayed until the Japanese had made an attack upon the Philippines, it would be too late. American pride would never consent to an overture of sale under duress; nor would the Japanose probably be willing to purchase then. NOW seems to be the psychological moment, and, as stated at first, it seems best that these suggestions should come from an ambassador of Christ, rather than from a politician of any party, so that partisan feeling may not interfere, but our nation as a whole approve and uphold and carry speedily forward this peace-promoting measure. I call for its endorsement by peace so cieties and all who believe that war should be only a last resort. Faithfully yours, a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. C. T. RUSSELL.
