MANY FIST FIGHTS OVER THAI

In all the babble Of baseball that has
upset the town one nan was the centre
Of attack all last night, and many rs,
lights grew out OF the arguments over
the spiklng of Frank Baker In Tues
days game by Fred Snodrass. The
Philadelphia fans have an idea that
Snodgrass deliberately tried to cut
down the star third sacker of the Ath-
letics 50 a. to keep him out Of the rest
of the games. and their anger In dis
cussing the subject has NO bounds.
During, yesterday and last night Snod-
grass vas bosieged by reporters sent to
him for statements. Instead Of apollo
gizing. snodgrass assumed the attitude
that Baker was In the wrong and too
clumsy to get out Of the way and allow
the runner to have the right OF way
on the base lines. A statement to this
effect which was printed In the after
noon papers only added fuel to the IRE,

MAN AND MACHINE,

Through all ages there has beer an
unmistakable tendency to unity. II
is not Overestimating to say that the
aim of our joint lives has been to at
tain machine-like perfection, where
all parts work together for a CON-
mon purpose.
The age of the individual star
is fast waning. The machine has no
particular star part. Every piece is
an integral part of the whole. The
failure of one little bolt may arrest
the progress of the entire machine.
If there has been a common pur-
pose toward which the entire universe
is consciously or unconSciously striy-
ing, it has been that. 1t is the equal
labor of all toward the accomplish
ment of one object. The one-man
enterprise is steadily dying. At best,
the efforts of one man have rarely
brought good to many. An entire
group can profit only when the entire
group works. If this world is to
progress at all, it will do so only by
virtue of our combined efforts. One
mighty push leaves an impression, to
see which We do not have to step off
for a better perspective.

EDUCATION FOR PRISONERS.

The provision for gymnasium in
the Kansas state penitentiary shows
the progress correctional develop
ment is making The old theory that
nothing is too harsh for the convict
is rapidly giving way.
Society is at last coming to realize
that its duty in dealing with wrong
dOerS is not so much to punish as to
reform them. 1t is a drain upon So
ciety to have large number of its
members locked up in prison. If
most of these can be reformed, So
ciety is the gamer, not only by re-
leving itself of the burden of sup
porting them, but By having these
men in turn become productive.
There are two theories of reforma-
ton. One, the older method, is to
strike terror into the hearts. of would
be wrongdoers of sufficient intensity
to hold them in righteous paths The
other is the newer way, that of ed
ucating the prisoners, not only NOR
ally, but mentally and physically as
well.
