A Majestic Spectacle.

Aside from artisanism, there Is
something vastly impressive about an
American presidential election
There is nothing quite likt 1t ON
earths In France the president Is
chosen by the, two chambers of the
rational assembly. In too many
Latin-Ameriean Eepnblics the elee-
zion is accompanied BY riofing, revo-
luton or scandal. III England ihs
parliamentary elections are strung
along for weeks. Here on one day
we choose our chief magistrate, the
lower house of congress and one
third OF the upper house, governors
Of majority of the states, legisla-
tures and minor officials by thou
sands
" However bitterly fought has been
the campaign, however radical the
changes sometimes effected, the
whole people accept the verdict al
most without a murmur The vic
tors jubilate, the yanquished smile,
swallow their disappointment and re-
solve to fight L out another time.
IT Is this featur" of the spectacle that
makes it so impressive The king
has spoken, and each man feals that
he furnished little part of the
kings voice. The majority rules,
and that is an end Of 1t.
In monarchy the king must die
before new king can take his place
either that or there must be rev
olution In either case the change
Is accompanied by tragedy. In all
candor, does no. our way seem bet
ter? Here are no grewsome Incl
dents. Occasionally there IS an ont
break of assassination or attempted
assassination, but this comes usually
from mental detectives or from those
who have not perfectly assimilafed
the spirit OF free institutions. The
great body Of public opinion remains
sound Throughout the struggle we
manage for the most part to keep
our tempers, and personalities are
held in the background as far as
possible All this furnishes a high
tribute 10 liberty and democracy.
No government in history has vim
dicated itself and justified its exist
ence in more signal manner thin
the republic of the United States
This ID said not in a spirit OF boast
ing, but in one OF growing reallza-
tion and wonder al the divine event
which gave our institution birth
The manner in which our model has
been copied BY republics born all
around the earth shows that we are
not alone in the realization. II
would be hard 10 find a political
event in history that has exercised
such 4 vast influence on the human
race as the formation of the Ameri-
can constitution. This influence
has been more than Political It has
helped in freeing tn mind of the
world SO that individual initiative
invention and progress have resulted

:. CONCERNING SIGNS AND :.
= SIGNALS IN BASEBALL :.

Fred Clarke manager of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, recently answer
ed the critics who tried To show
him that his place during the games
was on the coaching lines and that he
should be out there all the time. He
asserts-and there Is reason in what
he says-that the man who is direct
ing II team can keep in far closer
touch with his men from the bench
than on the coaching lines.
ON the lines ne can see only part of
the field, ana his attention is taken up
closely with one or two men on the
bags. He is unable to pay much at
tention To the opposition. for he is gen
orally held responsible If Il blunder rs
made by a runner ON the bench the
pilot can So" the entire field and has
time To think about what must be
done.
Fans have more than once called
managers cutters because they were
out coaching when their team was
ahead and then retired Ia the bench
as soon as the situation became critical
ar their team fell behind. As matter
Of fact. the leaders were not quitting
in any sense of the word. but were re-
firing To devote themselves exclusively
Ia the task of trying To figure out a
better defense or an improved attack
leaving the less important role of
sn g. .f
1t is fact that many players lack
initiative and seldom make move
that IL not suggested 10 them. How
often have YOU seen man at bat
glance toward the bench after each
pitch? The batsman is awaiting "A sig
nal. upon which will depend his next
move.
Signs and signals are part of the ma
tional game. Some teams have them
down To Il finer point than others
hut no aggregation goes along without
them. Often movements on the part of
Il coacher which seem foolish To the
spectator are part OF well formulated
system of signals which is of vast
Importance The signs must he sim
pie, because they must he grasped and
thoroughly understood by every mem
her of the team, and Yet they must bc
such as cannot be stolen" by the OF
position.
In 1911 many experts asserted that
much of the success of the Athletics
was due To the fact that Connie Mack
made "A systematic effort To learn the
signals of the opposing teams. 1t is
claimed that he assigned certain of HIS
brainiest players To duty on the coach
Ing lines with Instructions To watch
closely every move made by rivals and
attempt To learn their signs. II is
stated that he was very successful In
this respect and that the knowledge
which the spies gained helped the team
o win the American league champion
ship. No fault could be found with
Mack's course. for he did nothing
which was prohibited 10y the rules, but
simply had his men use their brains
all the time and observe everything
that went on around them
