Professional Southerners. /"

Mr.. Roland Ellis. a distinguished and
brilliant young lawyer Of Macon, Ca.
recently delivered himself of some re-
marks anent the so-called professional
SOutheTners' that have attracted con-
siderable attention throughout the United
States. Mr.. Ellis sums up the profess
sional Southerner' to be zone who wears
a PREDETERMINED hat, stands around hotel
Hobbies. and throws a fit every time the
band plays Dixie" AS we understand
Mr. Ellis, a professional Southerner" is
one who conducts a little game-generaIly
away from home-largely for advertising
purposes.
The type that Mr.. Ellis describes Is
comparatively rare. we think, but suf-
ticiently familiar to be recognized. It
has its counterpart in other sections.

Washingtonians. indeed! But we admit

by Mr.. Ellis. Is. perhaps. the most anus
ing OF the lot He is just a soft-headed
fool for the want of sense.
There is another variety Of professional
Southerner,' however-also happily rare.
but no rarer than Mr. Ellis variety-that
arouses our resentment and disgust, and
that is the one who is "a Southerner, but
not particularly glad Of It," The one who
assumes an apologize attitude toward the
other sections. you know-the fellow who
discusses the late war, for instance, in
Observation-Disclosures tone of
voice invariably! He does not throw a

merely takes on an anxious expression.
and fidgets until the applause is overland
then he hopes nobody imagines he par
ticipated IN IT. He bristles with talk
Of the new South" and he pooh-poohs
and tut-tuts the old South. He is easily
patronlzed-and appears TO be fishing for
just that He is not altogether a fool

We do not beIIevein professional South

compiled by scientific processes by the

and more heavily assessed than the peo-
pie OF any other community Of relatively

Great Ball Ahead.

Unless our exceedingly interesting and

others of their ilk are fooling us-and
we are slow. Of course, to believe for
one moment that they would-we are
TO have a great baseball season this
year. Teams are being picked with more
than usual care. and players are to be
hsld down to a line Of conduct abso-
iutely in keeping with the game at It's
best.
A euriously significant feature OF the
progress of baseball in this country is
the constantly growing number of minor
leagues. Every year sees the old ones
continued, and some expanded, and
numerous new additions made There
Is hardly a hamlet in the entire nation
nowadays that has not its baseball team:
and no matter where you may drop down

The popularity OF baseball never wanes.
On the contrary. it increases with the
years. The telegraph wires keep the ma
tion In immediate touch with the situa-
ton from Maine to California. because
the public demand is such that It viii

Young and old. male and female, every
American must have his daily base
ball "dope!" Baseball is the great ma
tional game. indeed!
Our fondness for baseball in this coun-
try speaks well for us, we think. 1t is
clean. manly sport. and it is to our
credit that we love II as we do, IN those
circumstances. Our boys begin to evil
dence an interest in IT from their earliest
youth. They know the players by name
and picture. and they know why this one
and that one is worthy OF their applause.
ana IL one falls short. they usually know
why that is so, too. We believe that base
ball has played no small part in bringing
this country together. naturalizlng it
and engendering a fine fraternal feeling
between the sections. Wherever the pen

We are moved to hope that the roseate
