The Initiative and referendum is
In direct conflict with the funda-
mental American doctrine that rep
resentative government shall be
maintained: and this OF itself
should make every citizen vote
against the proposed amendment.
The constitution of the United
States declares that congress shall
guarantee to every state a republi-
can form Of government; and that
is the opinion Of nearly all of the
great writer's of constitutional law
that by republican government is
meant representative government.
The provision in question was
not adopted blindly. The men who
framed the constitution were not
strangers to the use of good Eng
lish and the exact meaning OF
words. They had considered and
condemned the establishment Of an
absolute democracy. They recog-
pised and feared the evils of that
form o. government. Hence when
they adopted the provision that
congress should guarantee to every
state . republican form Of govenn-
ment. they did 80 with clear recog-
milton that republican government
meant representative government.

POOR SPORTS
IN St. LOUIS

After the bali game between St
Louis and Cleveland at ST. Louis on
the 10th inst. it was alleged that
the members of the local nine deli
bcrately allowed Larry Laioie to
score hit each time he went up to
bat. i'm order to deprive Tyrus Cobb
of his chance of winning the automo-
bile offered for the best batter of the
year. The action of the st. Louis
PLAYERS has been characterized as
the most farcical and unsportsman-
like exhibition of baseball ever re-
corded in the history of the sport.
The local team seemed to have been
given instructions in advance as to
their movements in dealing with the
automobile aspirant. For some rea-
son Cobb is not popular in ST. Louis,
while Lajoie is held in high esteem.
Through the leniency of the official
scorer, Lajoie has been able to fat
ten his batting average beyond the
pale of discretion and it is figured he
has won the prize.
scorer as being at bat four times in
each game of the double header.
Each time he obtained a hit. In the
summary he is also given a sacrifice
hit. The first time he hit a liner
and made three bases. The ball went
over the center fielder's head Six
other times he hunted down the third
tase line and either beat Third Base

Another time Lajoie grounded to

Once Lajoie hunted to Corridor. who
fielded it, but threw wide to first
This was the play that gave Lajoie
the sacrifice hit.

BALL PLAYERS
WANT BRIGHT
COSTUMES

one of the innovations that are be-
ing talked of by the men who own
the big ball clubs is the adoption of
bright, SNOWY uniforms, each big lea
que club having its own distinct color
It might rather be said that this would
be a return to the old plan, for back
in the days when Buffalo, Providence
and Worcester were i'm the National
League every club was known by its
color almost as well as by the name
of the city it represented.
No use talking, the base ball fans
like the spectacular end of the game
just as the folks who go to the great
suburbans like the bursts of color that
in the heat of the race enable them to
pick their favorite jockeys.
About the sorriest, dreariest and
most depressing spectacle one can
imagine is afforded by the appearance
of home team on muddy diamond
nine uniforms, supposed to be white
looking as if they had been tied to
scow and dragged up a muddy river.
Then, too, there is no class or style
to the travelling uniforms these days
Outside of the stockings they are all
pretty much alike, differing only in
the shade of gray that has been Sc
lected. The only real color to the
game is afforded by the different hues
of the players hose.
In the early days of the National
League the colors of the visiting teams
constituted as distinct an attraction as
is the crimson of Harvard, the blue of
Yale or the orange of Princeton on the
foot ball field.
Men with no sentiment in their souls
and no sense of the artistic in their
brains got in control of affairs and
practically everything in the way of
color was set aside for the almost al
ways soiled white uniforms worn at
home and the plain, unappealing gray
sorts that are worn on the road
Nine men dressed in all red playing
nine men dressed all in black or blue,
or pink, or white, will always attract a
crowd to a game on the sand lots.
The brilliant flashes of color by the
men in action is both restful and at
tractive to the eyes of the people in
the stands.
Well could the American and Ma
tional Leagues afford to try this plan
for a season: The old name of the
Maps was the Blues Very well, then
, let the Maps uniforms be of blue. Jen-
nings' men are everywhere known as
the Tigers" Let the "Tigers" wear
the orange and black color of the ami
NAL their dashing, daring style of play
! is calculated to typify. Brown for the
Browsn, red for the Reds; all white
. for the White SoX, are some of the
colors that easily could be adopted.
In these days of gigantic stands and
beautiful diamonds the club owners
would seem to owe it to their patrons
to brighten up the games out in front.
A base ball game played by men in
striking uniforms would be as much
more attractive than game played
by men in the conventional white and
gray as is an opera sung in full regalia
over a morning rehearsal with no or.
chestra and with the men and women
in their street attire.-Cleveland Lead.
