no SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Salina May Be Compelled to Drop Gu
of State League.


of State League.
Salina, kan, Jan. Gone of the
questions which will have to be ironed
out before much more progress can
be made in the baseball situation is
that of Sunday ball games.
There is not much doubt that the
people who are active in backing the
proposed state league are expecting to
put Sunday baseball into Salina. The
people of Salina are not likely to en-
dorse such a move. There never has
been any Sunday ball played here, and
the majority of the people of the town
are against it. 1t would likely hurt
the team from a business standpoint
more than it would help it to try to
play Sunday ball in Salina-
If Salina can not stay in the State
league without playing Sunday base
ball here, the only thing for it to do
then is TO drop out and with a few
other towns nearby, organize a league
similar to the one of last season.
which does not necessitate Sunday
baseball.
Salina is not alone in protesting
against Sunday baseball. Mcpherson
will not stand for games to be played
there on Sunday and Minneapolis
which is also slated to be in tne
league, will not have Sunday baseball

BROOM CORN ALL SOLD.
The Sixty Carloads Crop of Marion
and Mcpherson Went Quick.

Mcpherson, Jan. 6.-The farmers of
Mcpherson and Marion counties who
raised broom corn last year struck it
about right There seems to be a lit
tie shortage in the broom corn yield
of the whole country and as the crop
was fairly good in this territory. it
gave the farmers the advantage of
good prices right from the start
With these conditions very few farm
ers stored their harvested broom
corn Instead of extra work of
storing they sold the crop almost as
soon as it was in the bale. f. G..
Hawkinson has marketed fifty car
loads of broom corn since the 1908
harvest. The total crop of this ter
ritory is estimated at sixty car loads.
He has cleaned the territory up we'll
and says that he now knows of only
two farmers who have not sold their
broom corn.

On the matter of the employer of
non-union help, The Minnesota Union
Advocate says:
The unfair employer-the man to
whom no obligation is sacred and is
his business rivals and his employees
is a curse and a detriment to any
community. If all employers were fair
and would act on the square there
would be few strikes or lockouts I'm

the man who invests his capital in a
legitimate business has a right to ex-
pect a reasonable profit. While we may
not approve Of the system and while
we may agitate to replace 1t by bet
ter one. we must yet realize that in
the business world we must take things
as they are. The wage Garner has a
right to expect a fair or living wage,
and the employer has a right to expect
fair or safe return for his invest
ment
There is no room for sentiment in
business, either for the employer or
the employe. The contractor, manufac-
turer or business man has to meet the
competition OF keen rivals; he has to
take risks, and sometimes he fails, and
not only loses his business, but his in-
vested capital. The first requirement
of the business world is to transact
business on safe and equitable basis
