HITCH IN PROGRAM
BECAUSE or FINANCES
H. A. A. Will Play Return
Game With Gary Next
Sunday.

A change of program for the Ham
mond for next Sunday, instead of the
team going to Crown Point for a post
series game, the H. A. A. players will
go to Gary for a return game with
Bill Kunert's team.
The hitch in the Crown Point game
is due to the fact that the county seat
management would not guarantee ex-
penses to the visitors, and as the game
would only have been a post series
event it is doubtful whether the crowd
would be big enough so that division
of the gate receipts on a percentage
basis would not be worth while.

must be placed at the head of the class. In
view of this splendid array Of legitimates,
Alexander Hamilton, the bastard, cuts rather
sorry figure.
1t may be that Abraham Lincoln was not
the son of the man who took Nancy Hanks
to wife. IF Mr. Lincoln was an iHegitimate,
another name would be added to the list of
exceptions: that is all.

hagA9GSgBN lished In Seattle, Washington;
and to Mr.. Elmore Scott, one of
my good friends who lives in that
great city, am indebted for copy.
On the twentieth page of his booklet Mr..
Harper says:
"The 0eod-roH Of Genius is largely list of i1ustr
Nightmares"
Why is statement of that sort necessary
to Socialist "argument"? How is it ger
name, relevant, important?
Ii the Socialists do not favor what we con-
slider immoral sex relations eOhy an assertion
that 6astard8 haze Furnished the qoorzd qOitb
ats chief supply of Gemiuss
The rakish man pursues some attractive
girl or woman, and she yields. The issue of
this informal mating is an Legitimate child.
According to Socialist logic, this bastard is
more likely to be a man of genius than the
boy whose parents went through a trial pc
Rod of courtship, further trial period of
engagement; and then married publicly, after
the usual fashion.
The Socialists claim that the "love-child"
is more apt to reproduce blend Of the best
qualities of the parents. That is true, GER
tainly; but as the bastard the only love-chizd?
Are not most brides and grooms in love with
each other, at the time their frst-born is be-
gotten? Do not millions of welded couples
continue to love each other, devotedly; and
are not millions upon millions of legitimate
children the true and liviaag pledges of the
purest, hoziest lore?
But this big-city Socialist contends that
the bead-roll of Genius, made up largely of
illustrious illegitimates, proves that Free
Love is right, and our one-wife system wrong.
If the facts support his assertion, they go a
long way toward making out his case.
; But as has sweeping statement borne Out By
the facts? Let us see.
William the Conqueror was a bastard.
Erasmus may have been-though, according
to Charles Reade, the father and mother of
the great scholar and author considered
themselves married, and the mother was able
to produce cher marriage lines.
Marshal SAKE was the illegitimate child of
the King of Saxony and the beautiful Aurora
of Konigsmark The minor poet, Savage,
was bastard: SO was the Duke de Morny
and the Emperor Napoleon III. ~
The great soldier, the Duke of Berwick,
was the llegitimate offspring of Marlbor
ough's sister: Don John of Austria, who
won the great sea-fght of Lepanto, was the
bastard son of the Emperor Charles V.
A few other names might be added to this
list; but, in comparison with the men of ge-
MUS who were born in lawful, monogamic
marriage, the number of talented bastards is
absolutely negligible.
William the Conqueror was no ADLER man
than Alfred the Great Edward /. or Henry
Nv. Henry " was a better soldier than the
