BASEBALL ROWDYISNl.

The case of "Ty" Cobb has
brought up one phase of modern
baseball that needs remedying. 1t
affects not only professional but also
amateur playing and even college
games are not always free.
At times there is too much guy
ing" of individual players from the
bleachers. 1t often takes the form
of insults which would not be tol-
Grated off the diamond. Yet the
players must turn deaf ear to
gibes and jeers of over enthusiastic
and often not too sober fans.
The players should be given at
least some degrees of protection. A
certain amount of criticism is to O,be
expected, but it would be a simple
matter for bleacher policeman to
tap conspicuously noisy rooter on
the shoulder when his epithets be-
come repulsive to both players and
spectators.

A DIRECT ELECTION.

Kansas will have this year the Op.
pOrtunity of electing United States
senators by direct ballot. or, as it is
called. the Oregon plan" The
names of the candidates for this Of
flee will be placed on the general
election ticket.
To make certain that their choice
will be elected, however. the voters
have yet to do one thing. They must
see to it that a majority of the per-
sons elected to the state legislature
are pledged to vote for the peoples
choice. regardless of political affilia-
tiOns.
The candidates for the state legis-
lature will have the privilege of do
ing one of three things. They can
refuse to promise to support any
candidate they can pledge them
selves to support only the highest
candidate of their party, or they can
promise to vote for the man who
receives the most votes at the gener-
al election.
There is little doubt as to which
way the people of Kansas will in
struct their representatives in the
state legislature to vote.

But how Is, 1t with him who IL voy-

Him into the ship Immediately they
were at the land whittier they went"
Now He is walking the sea over which
every human soul is sailing and is
ever ready to join that soul in the
voyage and pilot it into the desired
haven.
Your skies may be bright today and

storms will arise and tempests beat
upon you. Oh, take Christ into the

have with Paul and every other true

within the veil, whittier the forerunner

Midst all the pressing cares Of life,
My soul, o Lord, l fix on thee;
Above the din, the clash, the strife,
Let thy sweet voice my comfort be.
I have no power to still the storm,
To check the flood of daily cares,
Nor make the wearied spirit strong
To bear it's burdens, calm its fears.
But thou, the Christ of Gallilee,
Canst speak the word, and all is well;
o speak, Thou ruler of the sea,
Say to my spirit, Peace be still"
Then shall tho drtins nf each day
A joyful, willing service be,
Till tolls and cares shall pass away
And I, in heaven, shall rest with Thee.
