Baseball History % LES ROBERTSON, a White Sox playe / pitched a perfect game against Detroit Sunday, motes the Chicago Tribune. “Not a Detroit player xeached first base. They went ont in one-two-three order for nine innings. It was a notable performance. Records of big league baseball show that only five; other pitchers had done it. beginning with George/ Bradley of St. Louis against Hartford July 15, 1876. | “When the baseball writers wanted the previous record they tad it. The history of baseball is one of the most interesting and carefully preserved records) of human activity. Each year’s record is extraor- dinary in its minutiae, containing every play of every game, and a baseball reporter who has studied the/ game has at his disposal a docketing of facts which| ‘would be the envy of a historian. *“It is a matter of the greatest exactitude. When Robertson pitched the perfect game for the sixth time| baseball history was not hazy as to previous perform-| ances. It had names, exact dates, and places. In the exactitude and plenitude of baseball statistics its his-| tory isa cise science. “Most AES keep fairly complete records, but prob-| a@bty no other activity of man has a history so com-} plete. The political history of America is sketchy by| comparison.” | Don’t Destroy to Help HAVE BEEN hearing considerable from the Democratic free traders, internationalists and gimilar influences, about what America “owes the world” and how incumbent it is to help rebuild) Burope, with the conclusion always drawn that in @rder to rebuild Europe it is essential we do not enact gny protective tariff worthy of the name, thus enab- ling Europe to flood this country with her cheap Broducts and obtain control of the American markets fpr her own enrichment. It is that those advancing such argument are not going to stop short of gross misrepresentation of the attitude of the Republican administration and even of the president. Isolated sentences from official messages are being quoted in a connection which entirely robs them of their correct meaning. It is well, therefore, that What Mr. Harding really has said officially upon the} subject of the tariff and upon the relative importance @f building up Europe or America should be set down. Bis two official utterances upon the principle and} Policy of protective tariff may be found in his mes- Sages to congress. * In his message of April 12, 1921, the president said: + “I believe in the protection of American industry} and it is our purpose to prosper America first. The| Brivileges of the American market to the foreign pro- ducer are offered too cheaply today, and the effect on mpuch of our own productivity is the destruction of our self-reliance, which is the foundation of the independ- @rce and good fortune of our people. Moreover, im-| Ports should pay their fair share of our cost of gov-| &nment. , “One who values American prosperity and. main-| tained American standards of wage and living can have no sympathy with the proposal that easy entry| and the flood of imports will cheapen our costs of| living. It is more likely to destroy our capacity to| Way. ° 9) | “The maturer revision of our tariff laws should be based on the policy of protection, resisting that self-| ishness which turns to greed, but ever concerned with that productivity at home which is the source of*all| abiding good fortune. It is agreed that we cannot seil| unless we buy, but ability to sell is based upon home development and the fostering of home markets. | ing there; There is little sentiment in the trade of the world. ‘Trade can and ought to be honorable, but it knows no sympathy. While the delegates of the nations at war were debating peace terms at Paris, and while we Tater debated our part in completing peace, the com- mercial agents of other nations were opening their ines and establishing their outposts, with a forward Took to the morrow’s trade. It was wholly proper and has been advantageous to them. * * * “Tardy as we are, it will be safer-to hold our mar- ‘Kkets secure and build thereon for our trade with the world.” In his annual message at the opening of the regular session December 8, 1921, speaking of tariff legisla- tion, we find this: 4 “There is before you the completion of the enact- ment of what been termed a permanent tariff law, = * *. I cannot too strongly urge an early com- fietion of this necessary legislation. It is needed to stabilize our industry at home; it is essential to make more definite our trade relations abroad. More, it is ‘Vital to the preservation of many of our own indts- ties, which contribute so notably to the very life blood of our nation. “There is now, and there always will be. a storm of conflicting opinion about any tariff revision. We cannot go far wrong when we base our tariffs on the! policy of preserving the productive activities, which enhance employment and add to our national pros- perity. “Again comes the reminder that we must not be that peoples are strug- gling for industrial rehabilitation and that we cannot dwell in industrial and commercial exclusion and at the same time do'the just thing in aiding world recog- We do not seek a selfish unmindful of world conditions nition and readjustment. aloofness, and we could not profit*by it, v re it pos sible. We recognize the necessity of buying wherever we sell and the permanency of trade lies in its accept- able“exchanges. In our pursuit of markets we must give as well as receive. We cannot sell to others who | do not produce. nor can we buy unless we produce at} home. Sensible of every obligation of humanity, com- | merce and finance, linked as they sre in the present | | world conditions, it is not to be argued that we need | | destroy ourselves to be hslpful to others. With all, | my heart, I wish restoration to the peoples blighted by | | the awful World war, bat the process of restoration | | does not lie in our acceptance of like conditions. It| | were better to remain on firm ground, strive for amp'e| | employment at home, and peint'the way to balanced | budgets, rigid economy and resolute, efficient work | as the necessery remedies to cure disaster. { “* © * It ts not an unworthy selfishness to seek ito ‘save ourselves when the processes of that salvation | are not only denied to others, but commended to them. | We seck to undermine for others no industry by which | they subsist; we are obligated to permit the under-| mining of none of our own which make for employ- ment and maintained activities.” “ ° Investment in Humanity HE ONE PARTICULAR administrative agency of | 4 the federal government upon which the hand of | budget curtailment has not been permitted to fall is |the children’s bureau. Indeed, under the present| administration it has been the policy to broaden and to extend the work of this humanitarian agency. The present congress has increased its appropriation for | the current fiscal year from $271,000 to $311,000. |In addition the so-called “Maternity Act” passed by the Republican congress and signed by Mr. Harding in November, 1921, creates a new division under the bureau which will disburse $490,000 during the cur- rent year and $1,240,000 during the coming year. | The children’s bureau has been fitly characterized as “Uncle Sam’s greatest investment in humanity.” Certain it is, that a bureau which, according to the act which created it, is to “investigate and report all matters pertaining to the welfare of children and child life among all classes of people” is striking out a strategic field for citizen building. Its work will be fruitful in dividends of a better nation in the next generation. The children’s bureau was created by a Republican congress under a Republican president. The Democratic members of congress bitterly op- | posed the bill creating the bureau largely because they feared the work of the bureau in southern cotton | mills, turpentine camps and elsewhere. Southern Democracy fought the creation of the children’s bureau just as it fought the enactment of the child labor law. Failing to prevent its being created, the Democratic party when in control of the Sixty-fourth congress, made a fight against the bureau’s continu- ance, by the Democratic house committee on appro-| priations deliberately omitting any appropriations to| the children’s bureau. The Republican minority, under the leadership of Representative Good. Repub- lican, of Iowa, waged a fight on the floor of the house! for the appropriation by offering an amendment to the committee’s report. The Republicans contributed practically all their voting strength in support of this! amendment and their solid support of it, plus the scattering Democratic strength it received. was enough to save the appropriation. AI but one of the votes against the amendment were Democrats. The bureau today is justifying its existence. present there are six divisions. | At} beer Ret ~~ evaceivable fuem of filth 3 oan water for ¢omestic purposes| Arthur Folwell in Leslies, ‘scorned from this source we endanger tho/to send forth the customary cunserva. lives of our families.

Such a time cannot come until all of the parties to the disputes reach the conclusion that they cannot settle their differences among themselves, mutua)’y agree upon the issues to be settled and then agree to submit those issues to some independent and impartial tri- bunal with an agrevinent that the decision of that conjunction with others, it is yet too carly to assert. However that may be. certain it is that the United States could have done no good by becoming an origi- nal member of the conference and all of its possibil- ities as an influence for peace rest entirely upon the fact that it has kept out of the quarrels and main- tained an impartial and disinterested attitude. The Mills Bond Issue Following is a discussion of the bond issue proposed by the town ol Mills, presented by, W. R. Hunt at a The hygiene division has conducted extensive sur-| veys of the health conditions of children in the vari-| ous states, particularly those most backward. It has sent into such sections its “health special” of trained examiners who have studied sanitary conditions con- cerning child life, and in co-operation with state and meeting of citizens theld Wednesday evening: “We are here to dissuss and consid- er the proposed bond issue for the pur- pose of installing an up-to-date water system in the town of Mills.

Such work is its own jus- tification. The battle against child labor finds much of its inspiration in this divson of the chldren’s bureau. The social service division of the bureau its studies among delinquent and defective children. It has contributed national leadership to probation work among children in cities. The maternity division, the latest addition, allocates among the states an annual grant for maternity and child welfare. Since the present Republican congress enacted the Iaw and passed the appropriations, 42] states have fallen into line, accepted the act and created machinery to administer its provisions. The two other divisions: of the bureau are the statistical and the editorial divisions. They prepare and dissem- inate findings of investigations. conducted by the bureau. The demand for this information is tremen- dous and the amount of information furnished is limited only by the funds provided for that purpose. The fact that the bureau was created by a Repub- ican administration, continued by the efforts of the Republican members in congress during the Demo- cratic administration, and its appropriations increased, its influence strengthened and its work extended by the present administration has earned the warmest approbation from the laboring classes, from the| women and from those who are interested in and| devoting a great portion of their time and energy to the improvement of child life in the United States. Lloyd George Confirms JT. LOYD GEORGE HIMSELF has given the complete Mand final answer to those internationalists who so keenly insisted upon our having a representative at Genoa. In an address to the conference Lloyd George drew a very gloomy and alarming picture of the| European situation, declaring that storms were brew-| that America could exercise an influence |no other country could command, and that, “her very| | aloofness gives her the right to speak.” |_ Thus we have the confirmation from Lloyd George jin addition to all other evidence of proof of wisdom |in declining to be officially represented at the Genoa |gethering. he quarrels that now exist are purely European. There is no contention by any one that any of the European nations are engaged in contro- versies with any of the nations of the western hemi- |sphere or with Asia. The quarrels are political. ex- actly as stated by President Harding in declining to |send a representative to the conference. Notwith- | standing those facte, the internationalists objected to he United States holding aloof but wished this coun- | try_to become a meddler in European affairs, thus | making itself a party to the brawls and depriving it of that aloofness which might eventually give it the right ard the power to speak. | It is & mere commonplace to assert that a party to | controversy cannot possibly he a peace maker. Al- | though Lloyd George desired the United States to be | a participant in the conference, and put forth his best | efforts to that end, it is apparent that he now realizes | his mistake as indicated by his statement that America could exercise an influence no other country could command. This inftmence would be utterly gone if the United States were one of the nations now en- gaged in the bitter controversy going on. If Lloyd George intended to convey the impression that the aloofness of the United States gives her a right to speak today, he is manifestly in error just ns he was when he insisted that it was the duty of the United States to enter the conference in the begin- ning. Anything that the United States might say or do at the present time would be productive of harm with no likelihood whatever of ‘ood. It is not certain - that there will ever come a time when the voice of | ‘esslty of a water system in our town. ‘There was good reason for the article being written in a humorous vein. (he newspaper people having experienced in their everyday routine of business with practical business problems were yamused at some of the statements made by the opponents of the water system. The statements, no doubt, were intended to convince the voters of Mills that the water system would cost sudh a fabulous sum that the town of Mills could never hope to pay for it. That the water system should cost each person $300 struck these men of practical business experience as decidedly funny, and they couldn't resist the temptation to kid us a lit- tle regarding our hazy ideas on prac- tical business problems. “The article serves only to make the opposition appear ridiculous in the eyes of the public. Is it any wonder when such statements are made that they refer to our town as a hamlet? And look upon people who make such statements as qualified only to hold office in a hamlet? We should be loyal to our town. We should be proud of our town. Mills is only three years old, yet we have gained the confi- dence and respect of such men as those who are willing to accept our bonds for $70,000.00 if we should need so great a sum, for civic improve- ments. “Mills enjoys natural advantages surpassed by no other city or town in the stata. We have easy access to an abundant supply of pure water as our town borders the Platte river. We have easy access to the Burlington and Northweste®n railroads. The town site joins one of the largest refineries in the world, which at present can handle ‘only a small portion of the Production of a field, the resources of which are almost unlimited. We have an abundance of natural gas for the use of manufacturers at a min- imum of cost, which is almost certain | and up. (Average Su: No tribunal will be observed by all concerned. Whether the United States can be or will be the best nation to sit in judjgment, either by itself or in to bring industries to our town. There | a is a pretty good prospect of getting @ county bridge across he riysr south of our town which will make Mills the natural trading point for all of the territory north and west of us which bridge across the river will be an advantage to the stockman as it is almost impossible to drive livestock down Yellowstone highway through the heart of Casper to the Alcova road or in the opposite direction. Best of all the government will, in the near future, place under irrigation a large territory north a nd west cf us which will provide farm homes for about 15,000 people, which in turn will re- quire the services of about fifteen thousand more to take care of the trade they will bring. Will these farmers travel the congested Yellow- stone highway past the refineries to Casper if they can do their trading in Mills? How can we in view of our prospects, object to improvements so necessary and beneficial as an up-to- date water system? “The question has been raised as to whether or not we can afford a water system. ‘That is not the question at all, ‘The question is—can we afford to be without one? The mayor and council appreciating the need of an up-to-date water system “approached the bankers of this state with a view to obtaining the necessary funds. ‘These far-sighted business men, know- ing the natural advantages enjoyed by the town of Mills and the char- acter of our citizens, readily agreed to accept our bonds for as much money as we may need to build our water system. They have shown great con- fidence in us, but if we are so unwise as to vote down the bond issue, it will cause these bankers, and the public in general to question our intelligence. This would hake it difficult to obtain the necessary funds for the building of a water system when we through hitter experience and costly lessons, ‘nally come to realize that we must have an adequate supply of pure water. Must we have an epidemic of typhold fever or a ruinous fire to convince us that wo need this water system?
