play made by Doolan of Philadelphia,
who while in the act of throwing to
first base spiked in the neck a base
runner en- route from second to third.
He must have thrown with both feet
of the ground.
The second baseman must have a
fast snap throw from any position, es-
pecially an underhand snap throw
while scooping slow balls at top speed,
and he must be able to move faster
toward his left than to the right. The
outfielders specialize in regard to their
ability to come in or 90 out, and
whether they run faster to the right
or to the left, the center fielder always
being the best of the three in going
outward and catching balls over his
head.

another rich stroke. This l..cky find

BROTHERHOOD

" AIRY LAUDER. who in private
II life is q philosopher and a stu
\ 4 dent. is impressed by the absurd
ity of calling people who live at
a distance strangers" We meet new
people every day in our own country.
1t is as easy and as natural to meet
new people in other countries as in
our own, especially when the others
are white people of kindred blood Mr..
Lauder says when some one charged
him with being a foreigner he replied
hotly: Il am nothing of the kind. I
am a Scotsman" and that his accuser
said meekly: ooh. yes. Well. that's
different. That's all right"
AS facilities for travel become more
and more abundant, as airships are
perfected, and as rates of travel be-
come more and more reasonable, the
determination of the nations that now
regard each other as "foreign" will
become more and more certain. Indeed
it will be difticult-almOst impossible
to prevent the plain people of the
various countries from entering into
relationships and forming alliances
which soon will lead 20 q modification
of the boundary line feeling" Great
artists whose work knows no language,
great musicians who can play for any
audience without the aid Of an inter-
prefer, great writer's who put into
words thoughts which may become the
common property of all mankind,
great entertainers appealing to the
same emotions under any flag and all
| flags, are performing the greatest SER
vice that has ever been undertaken
for the good OF humanity.
They are giving the human family a
sense of 1Iinship and a knowledge of
community Of interest which in the
course of time will produce conditions
in which the general good will be the
common subject, and wars and rumors
of wars will be at an end.
But the gospel, said Jesus, must first
be published among ALL nations. Un-
der the influence of the gospel the
sense of brotherhood would be quick
They would no longer devote any men
tai force to it. Jesus taught peace
peace, peace; but the very churches
are divided into more or less antago-
nistic organizations.
Regarding a similar condition long
ago, the Master said: Eye have made
the commandment of God of none effect
by your tradition" Man has substi-
tuted his own modes Of thought for
the modes in which he is instructed
by the Christian religion. The need Of
the age is a return to practical re-
ligion, which would make brotherliness
the rule Of conduct and society an as
sociation Of willing, loving helpers,
who soon would realize that in helping
their neighbors they had helped them
selves; in loving their neighbors as
themselves they had brought blessings
and prosperity upon themselves.

RoosEvELTIsM PUNISHED

| HT HILE The Herald has been advo-
| wv eating steadily a national re-
/ turn to the first principles of
Americanism, and has been pointing
/ out that the acceptance of the doc
trines upon which this republic is
/ founded is an easy and obvious way
of readjusting conditions which are be-
coming more and more veXatious, po-
/ litical lines are rapidly being read
justed and reformed-a division is be-
ing established between citizens who
believe in a square deal for the people
and those who believe prosperity con-
sists in huge industrial combinations
and heavily financed enterprises, on
which the people are to depend for a
square deal.
Even after Mr.. Roosevelt had used
his phrase, ''malefactors of great
wealth." there were still to be found
people who talked or wrote of the
sense of responsibility that comes with
wealth-as If the control of a huge
amount of capital would make an ir-
responsible man responsible, a selfish
man unselfsh. The Roosevelt policies
are popular because their aim is the
production of the greatest good for the
greatest number. Taft went into Of
flee practically pledged to maintain
the Roosevelt policies and to continue
to give the people a square deal.
Pledges disarmed criticism, and the
people waited for results.
To support an attack on the national
resources conducted by the malefac-
tors OF great wealth whom Colonel
Roosevelt denounced and to discipline
Theodore Roosevelt's friend, Clifford
Pinchot, because Pinchot as chief for
ester attempted to live up to the Roose-
welt policies of conservation and for
estry protection and save national re-
sources from looting corporations seek
ing to control vast and valuable water
power grants and forestry reserves, is
to exemplify and approve anti-Roose-
welt policies.
On the return of the great American
leader President Taft will find himself
the principal member of the In-Bad
club. Roosevelt's friend, Pinchot, was
accused of INSTRUMENTATION" that is
to say, of Rooseveltism and anti
corporationism.
There are many Republicans who are
in hearty sympathy with Roosevelt
policies, American policies, and conser-
walton policies who are accepting the
election of Pinchot from his official
position as a declaration of the ad-
ministration alignment with unpatriot-
ic un-American forces.

CLUB LICENSES

MAYOR ALEXANDER in his mess.
A age said social clubs should be
1iL compelled to pay liquor license
"This would give the police commits
sion an opportunity. before permit
was granted, to determine whether
the applicant was bona fide social
club, thus providing an effective and
simple method of ridding the city OF
the many places intended solely for the
sale of liquor which are operating under
so-called social club charters
Legitimate clubs inspire their mem
bers with club pride. Next to his home,
the clubable man holds in estimation
his club, where he may meet and asso-
ciate with his fellow men under home
like circumstances. The club atmos-
phere, like the home atmosphere, is one
of peaceful refinement. When man
wishes to drop out of the hurly burly
and rest his nerves for a while he seeks
a cozy nook or a favorite chair in his
club.
Social club life is as far remote from
the life eXemplifed in retail liquor
stores as one pole is from the other.
Many utterly unscrupulous liquor deal
ers and tools of the liquor interests
have taken advantage of this well
known fact and have sought to divert
attention from one branch OF the traffic
and to do a roaring trade under pecu-
liarly auspicious and profitable con-
ditions by equipping retail liquor estab-
lishments which. without payment of a
license and without heing publicly
known as liquor stores, sell liquor to
so-called club members and their
friends when properly introduced and
vouched for by the members.
There is only one way in which the
police can effectively get at and curb
or control or end the form of lawless-
ness exemplified by such fake clubs,
and that is by requiring all social clubs
to pay a liquor license. Members Of
clubs that are clubs will heartily favor
this method of dealing with clubs that
are not clubs but pretenders, conducted
for the purpose of vending liquors and
obtaining a profit from the sale.

SOLDIERS ESTATES IN CHAM
Gerry

United States District Judge Thomp-
ion in the course of the next few days
in a case described as one of tremen-
dous Importance in all communities
where soldiers and sailors homes are
located. 1t is the case OF the estates of
deceased soldiers and sailors of the
United States who died without issue
and without heirs.
Twelve hundred unclaimed estates of
soldiers and sailors who died in the
National Soldiers home, Dayton, are
now in the hands of the United States
government. The value of these es-
tates is nearly $3,O0O,00O. Suit was in
stituted by United States Commission
er +. w. Howell of the Dayton dis
trict to cause the estates to revert to
the county of Montgomery on Tie
ground that the decedents were citi-
zens of Montgomery county, where
they voted at all elections. The suit was
resisted on the grounds that the SOL
diers and sailors were and are wards
of the government and that they
managed to accumulate estates largely
by reason of that wardship. The issue
was argued by the attorneys OF both
sides before United States Judge
Thompson last December and the
court, it is stated, will soon hand
down his decision.
United States Commissioner Howell
was In Cincinnati to see Judge Thomp-
son about the matter. He will draw SIS
for each of the estates that revert TO
the county in case the court rules that
the estates belong to the county, and
with a percentage OF each he will be
richer to the tune of about $SOO,OOO If
the case goes his way.-Cincinnati

BRAVE AND BELOVED

III ODAY the ashes of George Edward
Graham will be strewn on the
4 waves of the sun-kissed Pacific;
and the mortal remains of a lover of
the ocean will be merged with the wide
waters. Mr.. Graham, who was best
known to his friends as Eddie" took
a keen interest in all those who, in
Biblical phrase, go down to the sea
in ships. He was a sailors friend and
was in sympathy with everything re-
lating to maritime interests ind affairs.
He was a believer in upholding and
aiding the American navy both in
peace and in war. and both in peace
and in war he was familiar with Uncle
Sans vessels, the men who COM
manded them and the "men behind the
guns
AS a war correspondent he showed
intrepidity and good judgment and won
the favor of the officers and officials
with whom in the performance of his
duty he had to deal. He was on the
bridge with schley at "-ntiago. His
work as a correspondent was among
the most brilliant and the most ac-
curate performed during the war, and
brought him a worldwide reputation.
Mr.. Graham was modest Of manner,
and his gentIeness and refinement won
him the warm regard of all whom he
met or with whom .Ie worked. He was
we'll beloved for his gentleness and for
his kindly consideration for every one
with whom he came in contact, The
state, the nation and the newspaper
profession are the poorer by the death
of genial, kindly Eddie" Graham.

enforcing it equitably as regards all
persons. Looked at soberly. this
scarcely seems a revolutionary pro-
ceeding; and still less does it seem like
one which needs an elaborate justifi-
cation.
1.-THE spirit shown by the men and
the newspapers who denounce us for
enforcing the law is simply one mani
festation of the feeling which brings
about and is responsible for lynchings,
and for all the varieties of whitecap
outrages. The men who head lynch
ing party, and the officers who fail
to protect criminals threatened with
lynching, always advance as their eX-
cuse that public sentiment sanctions
their action The chief offenders often
insist that they have taken such sum-
mary action because they fear lest
the law be not enforced against the
offender. In other words, they put
public sentiment ahead of law in the
first place; and in the second they
offer, as a partial excuse for SO doing,
lne lHCL' lndt TOO oLlSI ld"S 9iS nv
enforced by the men elected or ap-
pointed to enforce them. The only
possible outcome OF such an attitude
is lawlessness. which gradually grows
until it becomes mere anarchy. The
one all-important element in good
citizenship in our country is obedience
to law. The greatest crimes that can
be committed against our government
are to put on the statute books. or to
allow to remain there, laws that are
not meant to be enforced, and to fail
to enforce the laws that exist

GOOD ROADS

NRAN< WIGGINS' Riverside speech
on good roads should be an inspi-
\ ration to every county in the state
to help California and the west by fall
ing in line with Los Angeles and build
ing good roads. "Take the cue from
Los Angeles county" said Mr. Virgins.
"We have voted $9,5OO,OOO to build
roads, good roads that win gridiron
the county and will endure for all
time-more than 800 miles of broad,
solid highways for the use of the peo-
pie, and agrlculturists, horticulturists
and gardeners; smooth and sensibly
graded speedways for the horse, the
auto and the otorcycle-California
boulevards reaching from the foothills
to the sea coast. Good roads, GOOD
ROADS that you may enjoy if you will
but get in the band wagon by falling
in line with old Los Angeles county,"
San Diego county adopted the slogan,
"a million for roads; roads for a mil
lion," got the money and is now build
ing a magnificent system of highways
When the good roads of Los Angeles
are met by and are continued by
equally fine roads built by other coun-
ties, the state will be equipped with
the best road system in the country,
and the benefits TO trade and to indus
trial development will be great. Mr.
Virgins called attention to the big ag-
gregate sum which will represent the
saving resulting from good roads. He
said it costs the farmer in the middle
west SO per ton to haul his product a
mile over the old roadways. A general
system of improved roads will effect a
saving Of more than 10 per cent, or
S125, 900, goo, on the total farm tonnage
of the United States. In addition to
the saving of time, wear and tear,
the money saved will amount to a sum
sufficient to build a good road from
the Atlantic to the Pacific which would
not only be national in its character,
but international in its worth.

READY TO FLY

W.T. HILE Aviation week prepara-
wv tions are so nearly complete
" the first balloon ascension and
aeroplane fights were made yester-
day, and while it is certain Aviation
week, an enterprise from every point
of view of the utmost consequence and
importance, will be brilliant and
memorable success in the World-fa-
nous Los Angeles way, the central
committee reports it is still in need of
contributions to the fund.
The meeting has assumed far greater
proportions than were at first thought
of. 1t is a world event. Los Angeles
viii be the beneficiary by the adver-
tising and the boost that will attend
this world event. 1t is greatly to the
interest of Los Angeles that every
thing should be done to make the sue
cess of the meet absolutely hawless, IN
every detail beyond criticism, and one
OF the chief requisites for an abso-
lutely hawless success is a fund which
win do away with all difficulty of
financing the meet.
We urge all citizens interested In
aviation and in the growth and pros
perity of Greater Los Angeles to re-
spond heartily and Immediately to the
call for funds that has been issued by
the executive committee. A contri-
button to the aviation fund is an in
vestment. The success of Aviation
week will bring to Los Angeles far
more than the amount contributed for
financing the meeting, the success of
which will add greatly-and imme-
dlately and permanently-to the pros
perity Of Greater Los Angeles.
