ALL SHUT-OUT RECORDS
BROKEN THIS SEASON
Foul.Strike Rule and Abbreviated
Games Are Responsible for
This Situation.

Thanks to the regularly adopted
foul'strike rule and the unwritten reg
ulation that limits the second game of
double-header to seven innings, all
records for shu' out contests in major
organization will be swept by the
boards by the National league this
season. In the Johnson organization
the TOT notch in shutouts was reached
in 1904, when Jimmy Conin's Ply
mouth Rocks and Clark Grifiths
Highlanders ran their neck.and-neck
race. Then 14l games were played
in which one sides score was repre-.
sented by cypher Now the John
sonltes are 30 games behind the rec
ord established in the year that Jack
Chesbro and Jimmy Williams pre-
vented pennant from being nailed
to the flagstaff on the Hilltop, and 90
contests shy of 1906's aggregate OF
zero presentations. II is unlikely
that the junior organization will sur
pass the figures of former years, no
matter how effective their pitchers
are, for they are not initiating the
Pullamites in condensing tho night
cap portions OF double-hcaders. and
consequently will fall behind the sen,
Tor body in Chicago" contests,
Recordbreaking as the number Of
shutouts in the National league un,
doubtedly will be there always viii be
the blot on the escutchoon that many
of the shut-outs would not have hap
pened had the games been played to a
finish, as prescribed in Rule %,
which says: Every championship
game must he commenced not later
than two hours before sunset and
shall continue until each team has
had nine innings, provided, however,
that the game shall terminate: !. II
the side first at bat scores less runs
In nine innings than the other side
has scored in eight innings. 2. II
the side last at bat in the ninth score
the winning run before the third man
is out"
Owing to the many abbreviated
games of the year, 1907 will 90 down
in the record of the National league
as the campaign when the shut-out
banner was constantly waved. How
many of the condensed affrays of 1907
that are now recorded as whltewashes
would have resulted otherwise never
will be known, but 1t is safe to as
sumo that ten per cent. of the
leagues crop of goose-egg games
would not have been harvested had
the battles been fought to a finish.

the head of the homo for the in
sane, and no one thought of turn
ing him out to make place for
another. So he had time to lay
broad and deep his plans for the
betterment of the institution under
his care, and to become wiser and
wiser in his treatment of the un-
fortunates who became the benefi-
Charles of his professional skill.
He had time and the fitness for it,
to gather together and train for
effective work a corps of assis-
tants, to weed out the inefficient,
to reduce friction, to secure, in
brief, a well-balanced, well-regu-
lated machine, dominated by tho
noblest human impulses, and mov-
ing on noiseless axles toward one
end, and one only-the cure when
possible, of the unfortunate human
beings entrusted to the care of the
state; or if that were impossible,
then the amelioration of their
pitiable condition as far as could
be done. Now, contrast this ideal
organization and management,
sheltered from partisan or faction
al strife through long period OF
time, attention concentrated only
on the duties that each is concern
ed with, with that of an institution
officered by appointees whose
places are secured through politi-
cal fovoritism, whose attention is
divided, for their brief period OF
service, between the desire to
serve the political machine OF
which they form a part, and a
sense of duty towards the helpless
committed to their care. At the
end a four. years term, in our
state, having received their due
reward for personal and political
fidelity, the employees are swept
by new political broom, and a
new procession files in, raw, mex
perienced, unframed, to lingeI
four years, perhaps learn the
alphabet of their duties, draw
their salaries with commendable
punctuality, and, follow on in the
paths of their predecessors.
Now, all the state institutions
should be "taken out of politics.
No one except a machine politi-
clan will maintain the contrary.
OF all the state institutions, those

most loudly for reform. If the
merits of the case could be fully
presented to the intelligence and
conscience of the people of Mis-
souri,, reform would surely fol-
low. GovernorFolk might inau-
gurate such reform, but only the
people can perpetuate it. The
local and state medical associations
can form public opinion on this
subject and point the way to re-
form. Will they do it? From the
quiet chambers of 1000 inmates OF
our state hospitals for the insane,
whose lives are shadowed by the
greatest aftliction that falls upon
humanity, comes the echo of this
query: "Will they do it?"

subject is worthy the attention o

tions Of the state, Of the pulpi

body of our citizens; that inquiry
should be made into the mode of
making and changing appointees
in our state hospitals for the in

examination be made, there would
be demand from the people for
immediate and drastic reform of
the existing system.

tual organism, male or female.
Perhaps Hamlet, with reason
overthrown in the vain attempt to
reconcile the native instincts OF
the human heart with the divine
injunction, "Thou shalt not kill"
A Missouri Ophelia, whose young
life bears the blight of unrequited
love, may be guarded through the
watches of the night by some
play-thing of a politician whom
he has tired of, and flung into
that good opening as a means of
Kidding himself of her.
What soul would not revolt at
the thought of broken, high
souled man, a refined, sensitive,
modest woman, exiled from the
protection and loving sympathy
of home, for a while, falling into
the power of coarse, unfeeling,
perhaps immoral custodians, ap-
pointed to their positions because
they had political pull, and not
through any fitness duly ascer-
tanned by any rational method OF
examination? To suggest the
thought is sufficient to secure the
hearty approval of all right-think-
ing people for the abolition of a
system where such things could
even be possible.
The present is a favorable time
for the reformation of our exist
ing system. Party spirit, or at
least the domagogic spirit that
often inspires party action, is at
low ebb. The executive offices
and Legislature are nearly equally
divided between members of the
Democratic and Republican par
ties.
