KANSAS cOMMEDT
SUNDAY BASEBALL.


The baseball enthusiasts are up in
arms because of the prospect of the
passing of a law against Sunday base
ball. They state that if Sunday games
their leagues. If the people of Kansas
do not think enough of baseball to
patronize the game without Sabbath
desecration they evidently are not
very DESTROYS of perpetuating the
game. The criticism the Journal
would make on the bill as it passed
the house is that it permits games
where fee is not charged. This per-
rn1ts free games. which are almost as
demoralfzing as the league games
would be. 1t is true that we are not
a spiritual people and that we go to
the extreme in our revolt against
blue laws" but the preservation of
the sabbath as a day for rest and
meditation is essential to the general
welfare of the country. If for no
other reason we ought to reverence
the religious devotion of our fathers
sufficiently to prohibit athletic sports
on the Sabbath day. We all believe
that our fathers were somewhat eX-
IRENE when they thought it sin to
drive for pleasure or walk for recrea-
ton on Sunday. but we should not go
to tho other extreme and make Sum
day day for sport. AS matter of
fact to stop Sunday baseball will not
interfere with the success of the
leagues. Baseball when skillfully
paved is nne sport ana every town
ought to haveaa team, but it should be
so conducted as to appeal to every
class of our population. The church,
going people ought to be able to give
unqualified approval to the game and
all our population should be interested
in it. Don't become alarmed about
the Sunday law. It's a good thing
and should pass the senate. The Jour
nal hopes to see good baseball club
organized in Salina but would bitterly
oppose sunday games. The vote in
the house, which was about two to one
in favor of the bill, is a fair index of
the sentiment of the people on the
ubject:-Salina Journal.

The Centenary Of General Lee.

In commemoration of the one hun
dredth anniversary Of the birth of
Robert E. Lee, January 10, 1907, a
hitherto unpublished portrait of him
is reproduced on the cover of Lippin-
colts Magazine for the current month.
The original painting was made in
1865, by J. W. King, an artist who
served in the Confederate army. Gen.
Lee himself, and the officers of his
staff, considered this to be the best
likeness of him ever produced. "Mem-
cries of Robert Il. Lee, paper by
Mrs. General Pickett which accom-
panies the picture, is intimately anec-
dotic and extremely interesting be
cause of the fresh light it throws upon
the character of this great man.
