Although Ty Cobb violated the
rules of baseball in retorting to and
fighting a spectator in New York
Wednesday, his resentment of per-
sonal insult will be beneficial to the
welfare of the national game. For
some time baseball has been improv-
ing. The participants include many
men of character and refinement, and
the followers are from the President
of the United States to the day Ia
horers.
Cobb seemingly had perfect right
to administer the beating to the in
dividual. Hugh Jennings, the mana
ger of the Detroit team, said that
Tucker had called the Georgia
Peach a name that no Georgian
would allow to go unresented. Ac-
cording to Cobb, the fellow had been
calling him vulgar names and apply
ing epithets for several days. After
he had warned the fellow to stop, he
continued to apply the names with ad
ditional vileness, and then Cobb tool
the matter into his own hands ano
melted out punishment for the culprit
in manly way.

The Case of Ty Cobb

jority are men of character and honor.
In the ranks of professional players
are many men of refinement and OF
good families. College graduates are
flocking to the ranks and the average
player of today is a man OF moderate
wealth, of good character and educa'
ton.
Ty Cobb demonstrated that he was
at least a man. He had enough OF
the spark Of manhood in him to re-
sent an insult.
However, we do not mean that
every time a ball players is hooted at
for striking out with the bases full OF
for stealing second with three run

does not become vulgar or profane,

would dies a natural death.

THE IDLE RICH.

The idle rich have come in for much
ill-natured criticism in this world, but
all the rich are not idle and most OF
the men of wealth have accumulated
their fortunes by the sweat of their
brow
1t is the given right of man after
a battle for bread to rest when he has
won success. More than one great
fortune has been amassed by hard
work and long hours of toll.
Andrew Carnegie had nothing when
he began to build up his fortune. He
started in to work at three dollars a
week and felt himself a millionaire
when he finally raised this amount to
ten dollars week. He walked miles
to borrow books to read, but by apply
ing himself he has secured great
fortune. Yet Carnegie is not an idle
rich man and he works diligently to-
day He is likewise distributing this
fortune where he sees that the most
good can be accomplished. He is lib
eral with his donations and Is de-
voting himself to aiding in the educa-
ton of the people and in advancing
the interests of science.
There is class in England which
may be known as the idle rich, for
the custom of many generations has
opposed the aristoesats indulging in
manual labor. It has been the theory
of the upper classes that 1t casts a
} stigma on the family name to be
J identified with the toilers of the king
dom. The lords of the land, as the
| feudal barons of old, still hold them
J selves aloof from honest work. Blu

ROOSEVELT AND HIS PETS.

For the first time in his campaign
Colonel Roosevelt has touched on
the true, rock-bottom reasons for his
break with the president. He does
not admit frankly that the ousting
of some of his pets from their Of
fees by Mr.. Taft is, the real cause
of his oposition, but when he COM
plains of the action of the president
in this respect he reveals the grounds
of his grudge Enthusiastically. 1t has
been known all along by those who
are in close touch with the facts that
Roosevelt never forgave the firing"
of CLAWS, Pinchot and Garfield and
| that this was the entering wedge
] which eventuated in the irreconcil-
able breach that has existed for a
year past
That is a rather trivial cause for a
statesman and former president
to break with the man whom he Sc
lected for his successor and declared
was the best fitted of all Americans
for that high office. But the moment
President Taft showed that he was
not a mere spineless puppet, dancing
when Roosevelt pulled the strings
the latter's exaggerated egotism
created a grievance. The dissolution
of the tennis cabinet was the unpar

committed, and Roosevelt's hostility
fed by the tale-telling reports Of hii
ousted pets, grew rapidly. So dit

GOVERNOR KITCHENS SECOND
SPEECH.

Governor Kitchin. In his second
speech made ct Greensboro In his
campaign for the Senate. squarely
charges Senator Simmons with vio-
lating his platform pledges and OF
having deserted the principles OF his
party. and cities many specific facts
and actions In proof thereof.
A number of persons have won
dered and inquired why Senator
Simmons, in replying to Governor
Kitchin. has not attacked the Cover
nor's honest antitrust law with
teeth. and then to enforce the same
against the trusts.
No doubt, the reason that Senator
Simmons cannot do this Is because
the Senator is supposed to have en-
dorsed the action of Governor Kitch-
in in compromising with the trusts.
1t is evident that If Senator Simmons
was in position to do so, that he
could riddle the record and broken
promises of Governor Kitchin In
about the same way that the Cover
nor has riddled the Senator's record.
In short, If each one would tell
the whole truth about the record of
the other, by the time they were
through they would, succeed in con-
vincing the people of the State that
neither one of them should be en-
trusted with the high commission of
United States Senator.
