WHAT WILL SAVE BASEBALL. Two things will now save baseball: A thorough and public house-cleauing, ami a vigorous war on the baseball haad-bocks. An iustitutiou that caa keep the public iuterested

through six months of the year every day m and cay cut and which appeals to millions of people of all nges and of both sexe plainly is something to be cherished. Such an institution is baseball, which net :nly has developed character in the lives of Americans, !ut which was given no little credit for the splendid " condition of our fighting men during the late war. At .- a time when general conditions throughout the coun'v try are none tco restful baseball is needed as a tonic. How deeply the cancer of gambling1 has eaten into baseball time alone will tell: that it has been an inherently honest game is pretty well indicated by its ',' growth into a nation institution; belief in its honesty reSected in the sensation the revelations at Chicago '' caused. The general public is still willing, even eager, to retain its faith in the gam?, and by prompt actlcn the magnates can keep that faith. One deteoive of av- . erage intelligence could dig up enough evidence any aftrnoon iu any major league city on which to base warrants for the arrest of gamblers running hand- " books, and the public would be with the owners if they : kept calling on the pcMee to suppress these places. Next season, with the two major leagues cleansed of the convicted and suspected, baseball will be on trial; that it can vindicate itself is the hope of every true . lover of clean sport- But ball playtrs who play list- ' less ball and make queer mistakes, and magnates who " keep up war on the gamblers, need not be surprised at the possible critism cf a public made supersensitive . bv what has alrealy been learned.

terest of a $ 10,000 trust fund 6hould annually be voted to the young weman of Providence who "being 20 years old, marrlagable and a daughter of the common rcpie will best deserve it by her conduct and family virtues," Major Joseph H. Gainer, of Providence, R. I., displayed commendable political cauticn. Mayor Gainer piobably concluded that his Job is trouble enough without attempting to select a young woman more worthy of the prize than perhaps a hundred ethers. It would te a formidable task. No politician would desire to antagonize the friends of hundreds for the Joy of pleasing the one hundredth part who are friends of a prize winner.

TAXES: 2,500 B. C. AND NOW. One promptly subscribes to the expression, "God bless the man who invented sleep,"but he does not regard with complacncy the thought of the man who first invented taxes. Antiquarians have dug up on the banks of the Euphrates a clay tax receipt said to bt 4,500 years old. The fact that the imposition of taxe3 is an ancient, if not respected, custom dees not reconcile present day contributors to the system to the burdens they feel they are called upon to bear. About the only thing the individual admits without demur is that taxes are necessary. There are some persons who profess to take satisfaction in the payment of taxes in thir numerous forms but everybody else knows that snch persons are hypocrites of the rankest sort for hew can any person get satisfaction out of dispensing money that is taken from bis purse by due process of law? About the only thing that can be done to relieve the Rituaticn. brought about by the development of civilization, is to make taxes as easy as possible to pay, and sometimes a bit of innocent deception la necessary to convince the taxpayer that he is getting the worth of his money. While few persons wculd have difficulty in finding things about which to complain, the business of paying taxes is such a popular cause of complaint that many folks might feel a sense of loss if taxes should be dispensed with. Occasionally, toe, a few benefits from taxes can be traced by the person who is cot altogether committed to pessimism.
