Peters, asks why the directors 10 ‘the Metropolitan and Interurban companies are not personally denounced for sanctioning the grab legisia- a by which thoir roads seek to profit at the expense slelative venality and corruption, “These gentlemen,” says Dr. Peters, “have the repu- of being honorable and public-spirited men. They ot, because of this reputation, throw the blame for thieving legislation upon their less reputable asso- ” | The theory upon which they act and by which they Ml any qualms of conscience is that frankly confessed ‘one of the New Jersey trolley directors indicted for Clifton avenue disaster. Having “secured the best procurable,” they charge them with full responsi- ty and hold them accountable for the road's conduct. Responsibility is thus mado to rest entirely with sub- t ‘and to reach no higher. In the employment lent, the officials are the road. They are accountable f its moral as much as for its physical well-being. By theory, there is no occasion for the head to know the hand is doing, That being the case, why puld not the directors’ conscience remain clear? conviction that would shock directors out of this ude of self-complacency would exercise a most ome influence. BASEBALL ONCE MORE. ‘The rooters will resume thelr accustomed seats next ureday, and the twenty-seventh year of professional Baseball for the national championship will be begun. The man who went to the old-time games as a boy “and yelled himself hoarse at the brillant work of the “favorites rubs his eyes at the modern spectacle of a Packed grand stand. It returns him to dreamland for moment. There fs “Burdy” guarding second as never ‘before or since, “Pop” Anson, now a Chicago political Teader, on first; Spalding, White, O'Rourke, the Wrights, ‘ks, Reach, Brouthers, Allison—a great galaxy of -&ncient worthies, some now dead, some rich, some fallen ‘by the wayside. Perhaps the gamo is as interesting as » of yore; certainly it is more scientific. Did any of the \ ancients equal Mathewson? But the experienced eye is eritical and the old thrill 1s gone. Possibly the observer is growing old. ‘What impresses him most is the financial development baseball. When the game began to attain popular favor a generation ago there were a few clubs which, "dike the Cincinnati Reds, the Brooklyn Atlantics, and the New York Mutuals, could take the monetary risk of @ tour.
