Down with the baseball spikes!

can't understand why men who
have thousands OF dollars invested in
players and property permit these
instruments of torture. They are
emblems OF cruelty They are the
only reminder OF the rowdy days. They
haven't the claim of necessity to hinge
their existence upon. %
Every year in every league ball
players are injured by spikes. In the
major leagues men whose services
are valued at from $4,000 to $4,000
are put out of the game by them
almost every week. In the minors
young players of promise are injured,
often made spike-shy, and their value
lessened by a torn leg or manned
hand.

fielder need pass through a baptism of

PROTECTION FOR AMERICA
and HAWAII.

For nearly one hundred and thir-
ty- years II was not considered un-
American to allow people from all
parts of the world free admission to
the United States.
Then conditions arose that made
1t absolutely unAmerican, foolish
and dangerous to further grant that
freedom. whereupon steps were taken
the United States Congress to more
completely protect the interests of
by the United States Congress to more
America and Americans.
Shortly before Hawaii was
brought under the Flag OF the United
States measures were passed giving
more specific protection to American
shipping in these and other waters
under the coastwise shipping law.
There Is reason to believe that such
action was taken with a full under
standing of the necessities for guard.
Ing the lines of communication be-
tween this outpost and the main
land against possible control by
aliens.
There is as much Americanism In
an appeal to open the doors of Ha-
wall to all alien immigrants as there
is to, demand that American ship
ping laws shall be amended in a
manner that must perforce give the
ellen a stronger hold and eventual
,oAtrol of our lines of communica-
ton.
When we consider what blessing
tie Americanism of annexation has
brought to these islands 1t would
seem that the Americanism of Presi-
dent Mckinley is pretty good
thing to tie to.
