IA¢trat will the ldritisii Empire be
lake +a hundred years hence? This
faseineth g theme .bas been eagaging
a goad deal of attention ill England.
Tivee great publ'iciato, H. G. Wells,
Sir Rider Haggard and Dean liege,
the "gloomy dean," have made char-
aoteristic foreeaets. •
H. G. Wells a a rye: "Either the em-
pire will have played its part in the
development of civilization, and have
changed into and given place to a
much larger union of free states, or
it will have become a danger and a
nuisance to :mankind and have fol-
lowed German detperLalism and Ro-
man imperialism to the dualtheap."
Sir Rider Haggard says: 'The
empire could only be saved try an in-
fusion into it of an adequate posse
lation of our own blood. There was
room in the empire for three or four
hundred millions of the British race.
Australia, for her own security,
should welcome every drop of Eng-
lish blood we could send her."
Dean Inge's forecast is; "One hun-
dred yearn hence the population of
the British Islands would be about
fifty millions. The United States
would probably contain a population
of three hundred milllions. Canada
would probably have about sixty mil-
lions and Australia the same num-
ber, While New Zealand would have
perhaps twenty or twenty -'five mil-
lions. The United States would
therefore have an enormous predom-
inance in wealth, power and security
over all the other British -speaking
peoples. These islands would lave
fallen from their pride of place, and
would be only one among several
dominions. They would be no longer
the centre of a world empire in
which they had the dominating
power."
But Dean Inge further thinks it
"probable that these islands, being
no longer an object of fear., envy, or
suspicion, would be looked upon by
all British -speaking peoples of the
world as their ancestral home, their
holy sanctuary, and London and
England generally would be regarded
with affection, love, and veneration
by a very large portion of the human
race."
The London Daily News in com-
menting on these observations de-
clares; 'We need not join these seers
in suggesting how far the weary
Titan will be compelled to lay down.
or when it will voluntarily resign,
a burden already too heavy; but it is
not a little significant that three
men whose political! philosophy so
widely differs should agree that the
Empire which most Englishmen,
whether they admit it or not, hold
in instinctive affection, must be
subject in the future to radical modi-
fications of its existing form.
"The position of the British em-
pire or of Great Britain a hundred
years hence will not depend upon .'
proportion of the world's map still
colored red; it will depend entirely
upon the spirit in which British
statesmen of to -day and to -morrow
manage the responsibilities they have
chosen to shoulder. The test well
came not so much in Australia and
Canada, whose status is assured and
unassailable, as in India, in Mesopo-
tamia, in large parts of Africa, and
in Egypt."
The London Daily Telegraph also
foresees a testing time in the East,
with the awakening of India, China
and Japan. It continues:
"A Dominion of India a hundred
years hence, autonomous as Canada
er New Zealand ds autonomous, and
to the same degree, but still a free
and willing member of the British
Empire, would be the best monument
to British and Indian statesmanahip
during the interveningy ears. Whether
that is an unattainable ideal or not
who can say? Whb, indeed, can say
whether it is an ideal Which Indian
patriotism and Asiatic pride will con-
sider worth attaining?
'But even if the British Empire
lost every square mile of territory
which it now holds and governs by
right of conquest, and still retained
the lands which are peopled mainly
by men and women of its own
blood, it would still be a most won-
derful Commonwealth of Free Na -
ti ons.
"Great Britain, in 2021, may easily
have a, smaller population. than, many
of the dominions. -Dean Inge justly
observed that these islands can hard-
ly hope to sustain a population of
more- than fifty millions.
"But so long as the British empire
ir<'elf .remained knit together by the
bonds whim now make it one, it
would not be a matter of vital int --
romance whether Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa grew
at the expense, so to speak, of the
British Isles."

FAMOUS QUOTATIONS
WRONGLY ATTRIBUTED
While there seems to be little
doubt that it was Crashaw, and not
the more famous Dryden, who origin-
ally wrote the line concerning the
miracle at Cana, "The conscious wa-
ter saw its God and blushed,' it is
a fact that of some famous lines it
is difficult to name the author. Scott,
we know, had a fashion of writing
oerses and ascribing them to "Old
Song," which, perhaps, seemed to
confer upon them an authority that
he felt they might not otherwise
achieve, Kipling frequently resorted
to the trick, and there are scores of
his epigrams and verses which he
attributed to some non-existent au-
thor. Recently in the New York
Times, Prof. Brander Matthews quot-
ed Jules .i.enaitre, the brilliant French
critic, as saying, "Criticism of our
contemporaries is riot criticism; it is
conversation," By a remarkable
coincidence, the same quotation was
used in the same issue by another
ciistingulished writer. Richard Le
Galliene, but he attributed it to Prof.
Saintsbury, Now Prof. Matthews a-
rises to explain that .he is sure he.
was right, although he admits he is
unable to lay his 'hands on the article
from which he quoted.
He urges that Saintsbury could
never have said "the thing, for his
writings show that obviously he did
not 'believe anything of the kind,
and he proceeds to make some fur-
ther interesting remarks upon the
subject of unfamiliar quotations.
An apt quotation is a valuable thing
to a writer, and perhaps no quota-
tions can be used with greater force
than an occasional verse from tho
Bible. The only objections to
Biblical quotation is that they are
likely to be thackneyed. So long
•has the Bible been read and studied
that it can hardly be 'helped at this
late date to yield new literary
treasures- Sir Jaibes Barrie once
remarked that whenever he deaired
to use 4 quotation he invariably
looked it up "in Bartlett, and if he
found it there he didn't use it.
Prof. Matthews mentions a quota-
tion which he uses frequently,
ascribing, the words to Lowell, ,al-
though they do net appear in an
of his published works or (letters
Lowell said, "That pressure of public
opinion is like the pressure Qf . the

Kipling, for instance, that we learn
of Mark's saying, "Get your facts
first; then you can distort them as
much as you please."
There was a saying long attributed
to Emerson, to .the effect that if a
man could do no more than make a
better mouse trap than hie neigh-
bors, the world would make a
beaten path to his door. It was
the very essence of Emerson, but he
did not say it. 1n an address de-
livered in 191.1 by Lord Rosebery as
Chancellor of the University of St.
Andrew's, 'he quoted what he called
"a famous line," running "Problemat-
ically pious, but indubitably drunk."
It is a fine line, but by no stretch of
the imagination can it be called a
famous one. In fact, the greatest
research was necessary before its
author could (be tracked down. He
proved to be Jeffrey Prowse, a writer
for a weekly comic ,paper, to which
W. S. Gulbert contributed. The line
never was published by Prowse, and
never would {have seen the light but
for the feet that Tom Hood, the
younger. the editor of the magazine
nand a friend of Prowse's, in going
over some notes for the purpose of
preparing a memoir, found the
rough copy of what was intended to
be a humorous verse, ending with
this couplet:
"His courtiers found him out at Oast,
beneath the table sunk,
F'roblematicaily pious, but indubi-
tably drunk."

AMUSEMENT VIEWED AS
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
It is estimated that the salaries in
the major baseball leagues this sea-
son will amount to more than $2,-
000,000, a fact which gives the game
a rather respectable standing among
the industries of the United States,
when it is remembered that this
Amount will -be distributed among 16
clubs while there are thousands of
clubs scattered' throughout the coun-
try. The new park of the New York
Americans, which, it is expected, will
be ready for use in the Fall, will
cost *2,000,000, which is another
fair indication that baseball has be-
come what Americans would call a
Big Money Proposition. It is gtpw-
ing steadily greater year after year,
as regards the salaries paid the
players, the amount of money in-
vested in plant, and, naturally, the
amount of money collected at the
gates. Each new field is larger
than the largest field previously in
existence. There seems to be hardly
a reasonable limit to the number
of American citizens who will pay
money to see an i;nporcant ball
'game. In time, it is possible the
baseball crowds will rival those of
Old Country soccer. They have net
yet approached this mark, but, of
course, the prices charged for soccer
are a mere fraction of what baseball
patrons pay.
Experience has proved that the
baseball magnate who is the biggest
gambler is likely to be the biggest
winner. The owners 0: the New
York Americans, who hove paid
mere money fpr their payers and
probably have a heavier payroll
than any other team, have made
more money :n the pact two years
than any other magnates; Other
teams may have . made money by
selling their stars. The New York
club- has made money by buying
them It is pointed out by a
writer in the New York Tribune that
a weak club does" not lose much by'
patting with a famous star. The
fans may resent his departure for
a while, bat one man never can

that the passing of en individual

1. hebout,"
M. Rockefeller .had been repre-
eonted`+at vatigaa times as a vont oft.
n miser who Might sit fingering over
his gold or gain inexpressible joy by
personally cutting ,his coupons. As a
refatatiose of Able, Me Rogeie says
that dt wee decided at one tdrde that
the Rockefeller fortune was gaining
momentumlike a snow.sball and pyra-
tniding with goemetrlc.progression so
that as a question of policy and con-
venience his securities were divided
up and not all kept in one safe-de-
posit vault. It was also decided to
make a change so that ample quar-
ters would be provided for years to
come.
Mr, Rogers took the matter up
with the safe builders, and plans �
were made which finally resulted in
large steel vaults 'built inside the
regular safe-deposit vault. These
inner vaults were fitted with steel
shelving and small chrome -steel box-
es for securities, and protected by
Heavy combination doors. Each vault
opened out into a clear space known
as the coupon -room, which was pro-
tected by heavy steel bars. This
room was equipped wibh.•tables, stools
and coupon cutters, so that from three
to six men, as occasion required,
could cut coupons at one time. Proud
of the job, the financial secretary
appealed to Rockefeller to inspect the
treasure house. "It was on one of
the rare occasions when the had copse
to the office, and we walked the fe\v
steps from the New Street entrance
of 26 Broadway to the Produce Ex-
change vaults. The guards recogniz-
ed me and swung open the door. They
did not know that my little import-
ance was completely overshadowed
by my companion, whom they did not
know. I motioned to the general •
manager, and as :he came forward I
presented Mr. Rockefeller, Mr.
Rockefeller greeted him cordially,
then began in his usual way to ask
questions. How many customers
have you? What is your average
rental? How many stock 'bolders,has
your company? What dividends do
you pay? and so on. Meanwhile we
had advanced to .the coupon -room,
and I had worked the combinations
on two or three of the vaults. Mr.
Rockefeller stepped inside and glanc-
ed around casually at the boxes, all
numbered in consecutive order. I
pulled .two or three open to show him
how the bonds were kept. •After a
moment or .two lie vouchsafed speech,
"'Yes, Mr. Rogers, it's all very
nice; shows a good system. I'm glad
to have seen it. Let's go.'
"In all, he was there for possibly
-ten minutes, and during all the
years that I had charge of his securi-
ties this was the only time that he
ever entered his vaults."
no matter how eminent, has en
appreciable effect upon the stand-
ing of the club. Moreover, base-
ball is a co-operative business and
it may be that a team that is not
liberally patronized at home will
:mike money on the road.
The. agreement is that the visit-
ing team shall .receive half of the
general admission, that is to say,
the bleachers. When a weak team
plays a series on the grounds of a
strong team that is of importance
to the strong team, the crowds are
likely to turn out in vast numbers,
and the weak team naturally' pro-
fits. But the observable tendency
in new ball parks is to incraaae the
grand stand accommodation and
decrease that of the -bleachers. But
there is a limit to a scheme which
would deprive the visiting team of
much profit. The backbone of the
game is the man who goes in be
the general admittance gate. He
is the rabid rooter, the partizan, to
whom 'baseball is the chief pre-
occupation of his life, not excluding
he were frozen out it would be a cold
day for baseball.
An anonymous writer in Colliers'
said not long ago that if a man be-
came the owner of a baseball team
for the sole purpose of making money
out of it, he would probably lose.
It is a statement 'impossi'ble to dis-
erove, because no owner would admit
that he was in the game for any other
reason than the love of it, just as
Judge Landis explained that he ac-
cepted the $50,000 salary because of
his desire to uplift it. We recall, in-
cidentally, that the bribed players of
the Chicago team explained that they
did it for "the wife and the kiddies."
But it is plain enough that there is a
certain element of risk in the in-
vestment of millions in an amuse-
ment. We can remember other
amusement crazes, like ping pang,
for instance, that disappeared utterly.
There is the possibility of mounting
costs keeping many people away from
the games. There is the possibility
that the reformers may succeed in
having Sunday baseball made illegal,
a move that would wipe out, perhaps,
a quarter of the gross income of some
clubs.
The possibility, the eves' -present
liklihood, of a star player, for whom
many thousands of dollars have been
paid, receiving an injury, that makes
him useless and • wipes out his draw-
ing power, is also to be considered.
There is also the run of bad luck at a
criticaaI period that destroys a team's
hopes of winning a championship, and
thereby ,participating in the world's
series. There may start up internal
dissension that wrecks a team and
abolishes the profits of a year, or per-
haps of two years, until a harmonious
aggregation can be once more built
up. These factors explain the com-
parative frequency in the change of
ownership of big 'league clubs. Few
are the owners of to -day who were
owners fifteen years ago. The rule
seems to !prevail in baseball; as else-
where, that an enterprise that can
make a lot of money in a hurry may
be equally expeditious in losing it.
ROCKEFELLER NEVER SHOUTS
A somewhat different view of John
D. Rockefeller is that which is given
in the Saturday Evening Post by
George D. Rogers, who joined the
staff of the Standard Oil Company
thirty years ago as its first- steno-
grapher, and latterly was the right-
hand .man 'anti financial secretary of
John D. himself..
Mr. Rogers says that this man, who
is reputed to have amassed in 'his
lifetime the greatest number- of dol-
lars eve% controlled by a single in-
dividual, its "so slow es to be exasper-
ating" and also states positively that
on only one or two occasions has he
heard Mr. Rockefeller raise his voice
above a low, conversational tone.
The writer demonstrates, by an ire-
teresting example, how Mr. Rocke-
feller is able to make his point just
as effective -by "sitting tight" and by
using his ordinary' conversational
conversational
tone to enrap a questioner. On one
occasion Mr. 'Roefefeller' was witness
in an important law suit in which a
very large sum of money was involved
and 'a principle of vital importance
was at stake. Under cross-examin-
ation his manner was quiet, his fate
inscrutable and expressionless, as he
answered the questions put to .him by
a .malicious attorney, who at one jun-
cture of the proceeding, shouted,
"Mr. Rockefeller, I call for the pro-
duction of a letter which I wrote you
on such a date."
The letter in question was full of
inquiries relative to Standard Oil af-
fairs which, we are assured, the at-
torney had no legal right to know. It
was produced, marked as an exhibit,
and then read with great gusto.
Question: "Mr, Rockefeller, you
received that letter?"
Answer: "I think I did, Judge,"
Question: "Did you answer that
letter?"
Answer: "I think not, Judge."
A second and a third letter of other
dates were marked for exhibit with
the game procedure and the same
questions and answers; the latter in
a soft, almost purring voice. Then
'folllomed:
Question: "You say you received
all those letters, iter Rockefeller?" f
tlnsvberl "I,, think 1 did, Judge."
glestion: "toil Dapyou did not
answer sett of those letters?"
