Toner, the National League president talks about baseball, it is a safe bet that every word he speaks will be read. Throughout the I'ntted States the impression prevails that because Governor Tener is in active baseball again, there will be a new era in the history of the national game.

In the magazine of the New York World on Sunday, Governor Tener is prominent in a lengthy Interview. Here are a few epigrams bunched from Governor Tener's statement: "The American spirit Is typified by the National wallop." "Phrases taken from the language of baseball enrich the vocabulary of success. 'Making a hit' and "putting one over' are generally accepted and widely popular forms of expressing accomplishments." "Baseball, like the Constitution, follows the flag. The impact of the willow against the horsehlde sphere is heard around the world. There are scoreboards in London, Paris, Berlin, Guam, Hongkong and Toklo, and rooters in every known tongue." "Gallant Commodore Perry opened the ports of Japan to American commerce, and globe trotting nines openled the parks of Japan to the great American game.

Thuj are the peaceful messages of New World civilization carried to ancient peoples." "Modwn civics finds one of its ablest allies in baseball. Executive, judicial and legislative branches of government year after year are recruited from the diamond. President Wilson was a ballplayer: so was President Taft. The distinguished Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States never varies in his loyal support of the game, and so it is all along the line." "If we were to have another escutcheon to express the popular side of national life, and the design were to be decided by popular vote, it would be two bats crossed, with a fielder's mitt set in the upper opening of the sawbuck and a catcher's mask underneath." "Taking the game as It is playedprofessional, semi-professional, college, schoolboy scrub and one-old-cat are in all probability a million Americans who find pleasure In participation in it. And there are other millions in the grand stands and bleachers and on the side lines." "Whenever men seek relaxation, bankers, brokers, employes of business houses, mills, shops and factories, they turn naturally to the national game.

Baseball is the big event at every outing, and it is more important than the fireworks on the Fourth of July. Fat men play the lean men, the tall play the shorties, the married men play the single men, the bookkeepers play the sales department, and so on. Tt's the great inspirational contest in every State in the Union, every county in the State and every town in the county." "If all the ballplayers in the country were organized into an army, they I would form a force that would be invincible. They would be a defense against the armies of the world." "No event in the country's regular calendar is of such vital import to the masses of the people as a world series contest. No hamlet is too remote not to receive a flash of the result, no community too engrossed in its Immediate personal affairs not to Join with the crowd anxious to find out who won.

The message that Is flashed to the White House is duplicated to the backwoods of Maine, to the Everglades of Florida, to the ranches in Texas and to the fruit belt of Oregon. Even the Indians in far off Saskatchewan come down one-hundred and fifty miles to Portland to get the news and take it back to their people." "We may look for international baseball. It is bound to come. Already the same is played around the world. The Waseda College team of Toklo defeated the University of Pennsylvania team last season.

The Chinese team from the University of Honolulu beat a strong semi-professional team. The big games will come along. International yachting, gold, polo, tennis and shooting are now on the world's card. As a development of the Olympic spirit we will have the I world's baseball, and the contest for supremacy will be the most momentous event of the time."

"The affair in Wilkes-Barre is nothing. absolutely nothing," he said repeatedly.

"We shall carry on our plans here, and even though we are not getting a fair show, we shall do this city good. To illustrate what our reception would be if we went to other places, I'll show you these." and he brought out the much-thumbed packet of letters frequently shown to prove the desire of other cities to have the farms located there. "But we want to establish our farm and our central headquarters in your city here, because it is the capital of the State, and we believe that we can do the city good." He had prepared an interview, which he told newspaper men was very important. and tilled with good stuff. The interview just as he handed it out is as follows: The Interview "An Interview with W.

Those Inliai'iiionious Reports "The reports emanating from Wilkes-Barre, which seemed to be of an inharmonious nature were from the effects of outside influences. "The board of directors expect to meet on Saturday, at which time it will be decided where the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held, and it is certain the vote will be cast for Harrlsburg." Teachers Hear First of Series of Lecture The University of Pennsylvania last night inaugurated Its new system of free extension courses for the higher professional training of the teachers of Pennsylvania in the opening of a lecture course, given by Professor A.

TENER IS PRUISED FOR SELECTIBKS Says That Appointments on Charitable Commissions Are Good The Philadelphia Public Ledger of yesterday contained the following regarding the appointments to commissions made Friday by Governor Tener: "Governor Tener's appointments to the four charities commissions were generally approved yesterday by the Public Charities Association, which was the sponsor for the bills and in whose otflce they were drafted. It was said by officials of the association that the creation c.f these boards meant a new era for Pennsylvania In the care of the dependent imbeciles. "Stanley H.

Howe, educational secretary of the association, said in discussing the appointments: 'We are much gratified by the action of the Governor in appointing these committees, and particularly with Ills selections for the colony for feeble-minded women of child-bearing age. This is one of tiie most important steps forward that the State has ever taken. It commits the State to a new policy in which prevention, rather than care of feeble-minded persons, will be the keynote. This colony should be established on State land as near to Harrisburg as possible, in order that members of the. Legislature can visit it and see what being done.

It is our hope that immediate steps will be taken to establish the colony and erect the buildings so that by the I time the next Legislature assembles the colony will be ready. We have I now from 90 to 100 women ready to enter "The Legislature appropriated 1000 for the erection of buildings for tho housing of such women, but did not provide any funds for maintenance. This will come later, but Mr Howe believes that eventually the colony can be made self-supporting, as in some other States. Mr. Howe said: 'There are three grades of women who will lie cared for.

The first is the low grade Idiot, who is absolutel.s helpless and must even bo fed. Second comes the Imbecile, who can help herself to some extent, but is not entirely self-supporting. Third comes the moron, who under proper training can tie taught to do work that will support her and earn enough surplus to support the it is explained, is a term applied to women of low mentality, who lack all moral principle. Mr. Howe continued: 'lt is the plan of these measures to prevent the creation of Imbeciles.

It Is Just as possible to eliminate the feeble-minded as it is to eliminate smallpox. Of course, those who are with us must bo cared for, but measures should be taken to prevent future generations from supplying others, and the creation of these various boards is the first big step that Pennsylvania has taken with that end in view." "It is believed that this first step of the State will be followed by others and the policy pushed until, when another generation grows up, there will be but few women or men who are mentally incapable, and, therefore, a burden upon the community."
