PAY OF BASEBALL STARS
oeMeY in Leslie's


 Perhaps the trouble today is that the stars of the game are so tremendously overpaid. Many of the baseball world beaters today, who are receiving yearly stipends that would tickle many a bank president were lucky to get their beef and beans regularly before they broke into professional company and became part and parcel of the national pastime. Some of the boys who, in a few years, jumped from "eight dollars and keep" per week to S1o0O0 beauties retained their senses and are today useful and respected citizens, with bank accounts and large business interests. Others, however, be- came absolutely unmanageable as the un- usuable flow of yellow coin rolled into their pockets. and while many drank themselves to death, others became so useless that, even though they were still young and should have been in their prime, the minors would not harbor them. It is time that the national com- mission and the club owners got together and formulated rules to make the men behave before, after and during the play ing season. If a man does anything to bring discredit upon himself his club and the sport, he should be fined heavily enough to bring him to his senses. We don't want an association of mollycoddles in baseball, but we do want men.

The hand of little employment hath tn daintier sense. -Hamiet'
Business Is Safe

Governor Wilson had his fighting clothes on when he went to the din ner of the Southern Society of New York, He arrived too late for the ban ouet. but he did not arrive too late to tell the banqueters and through them the rest of the country several valuable truths.
 He told them first of all that bus mess is safe and that no unnatural panic can be brought on when crops are abundant and general business is in a sound condition, He even told those who try to bring on such a panic because of coming changes in the tariff or of other economic pol icies that they would be hung figuratively on a gibbet and then he added: America with eyes open isn't going to let panic happen, but I speak as if l expected-as if l feared it. I do not I am afraid of nothing of the sort"
 This is abundant assurance in what the President elect said in New York that nothing unjust to any honest business will be done when the dem ocrats come into power and yet all party pledges will be carried out. The President-elect made it plain that he is not reactionary-that he is in favor of progress, but the work to be done is constructive work and it will be done in a sane, sound man.

Typhoid Fever in Kansas

The state of Kansas is fighting typhoid fever in a scientific and sys- tematic manner and her success is a lesson to the other AT states. As soon as a city reports an unusual number of typhoid cases an expert medical inspector from the state university is hurried to that city by the first train. He takes samples of the water supply and hurries those samples to the state university. As soon as the state uni versity discovers typhoid bacteria, as it invariably does, the inspector in stalls at once portable hypochloride plant for water qualification. The plant consists of three large tanks that are set up outside the city pump ing station. The mains are cut and run into the tank. In the first one the water is treated to remove what ever dirt may be in it, and in the second tank the water is given a
 
 hypochloride lime bath. It passes into the third tank, where the lime is pre- cipitated, and then the water goes into the water mains clear and free from all bacteria. The state furnishes the plant free of charge and the work of the sanitary expert does not cost the city a penny.
 "What's the matter of Kansas ?" certainly does not include much typhoid fever. The action of the state authorities is too sudden and too thorough to admit of many typhoid cases and if every other state would buy movable water purifying plants and place them in the hands of scien- lists and not in the hands of pol iticians typhoid could be driven out of the cities of the land where it chiefly rages. Impure water is found in the rural districts but it is net easy to locate and purify it. The Kansas plan fits cities admirably and it should be extended to every one of the other 57 states,
