Bat Made of Concrete.

Some genius is trying to put a con-
crete bat on the market. He claims
that it is no heavier than a hardwood
bat, and drives the ball much farther.
According to the laws Of the game,
the bat must be made of wood, 80 that
the statutes would have to be al.
tered before the stone stick could be
utilized. The game, right now, doesn't
need a bat that will drive the ball any
farther, but more batsmen who can
drive the ball with the bats in current
use. II they ever get bats that will
hit 'em farther, the games at Boston,
Chicago and New York National
League parks will be nothing but pa
rades of home runs.

HENRY LABoUCHERE.

In the death of Henry Labouchere, the famous
editor of London Truth, the world of journalism
loses of IFS most vire and picturesque figures.
He the mcompromising foe of humbug and
he did the people of the British Isles invalu-
able service in exposing the schemes of those who
tried to prey ignorance and credulity. One of
the features of Truth was the campaign it carried
on year in and year out against the inequality of
the sentences imposed by county magistrates
Side by side in parallel columns it showed the
penalties imposed for serious assaults, wife beat
ngs, and forth compared with those infict-
ed on trespasSers, poachers and other minor Of
tenders of that class, and in this way Labouehere
rghted crying wrong without the aid of legis-
lation, merely by directing attention to injustice
and bringing the force of public opinion to bear
on it,
Henry Labouchere also distinguished himself
in the diplomatic service, and afterward in the
house Of commons he made his mark by means Of
his eaustic wit and the courage with which he de-
Tended his opinions Though cassed as radical
he was always in high favor with the court, and
especially with King Edward VII, and one of the
mysteries of newspaper life in London was the in
innate and often exclusive knowledge he always
appeared to have of what going in the in
ner circles of court life.

BLANco BILL HAS A PARoxYsM,

Kansas is bleeding again. cts Roosevelt or
bust says William Allen White Blanco Bill
will have to gless aeain If it's Roosevelt it
is n sure Dust The trouble with him and the
school of sentimental hero-worshppers to which
he belongs is that they are unable to understand
how ordinary people feel and think. The third
term tradition is not dead yet-not by any
means-and Colonel Roosevelt's attacks on the
Sherman antitrust law and the principle of in
tenational arbitration have given it a new life
and point in his case
The people are tired of the khaki uniform
and the bucking broncho in politics. They have
had genteel suficiency of sound and fury signi-
flying nothing but craze for notoriety and a love
of the spectacular. Blanco Bill gave an ac-
curate diagnosis of political neurOsis when he
wrote What's the Matter With Kansasl" Since
that time he has enrolled himself among the
neurotics and bettrays signs of hydrophobia ev-
cry time anyone suggests something and

Because Theodore Roosevelt is the object of
his alteration he imagines the American people
are welded to the same idolatry. lie sees a
of blood when only few drops are falling
from his own nose, and he mistakes the cheers
of few stage supers like PmchOt and Chase
Osburn for the rousing acclaim of an aroused
nation. Somebody ought to give him cathartic

wake him up and restore his circulation.

WHO is HARMED?

At the omnibus trust hearing, which includes
the alleged shipping, money and harvester trusts,
and anything else apparently that has not been
bound to special rack or gridiron of its own, it
was brought out recently in Washington that
the British government some time ago appointed
commission to inquire into the shipping trust
and that commission reported that 'the trust
operated for the best interests of British com
merce and recommended that it be permitted
to continue AS the constituents of the money
trust are unknown as yet and as the shipping

affair with which it may be out Of the power
