A Tribute to Sports.
indianapolis News.)

The publicity commission of the
Christian Conservation Congress,
which meets in New York, next month
in connection with the Men and Relig
ion Forward Movement, is to adyer-
tise the meetings on the sporting pa
ges of the papers. More and more the
churches are appreciating the value of
advertising. So there is nothing new
in the liberal use of the newspapers.
But it is new to hook up as it Were
with sports. It will be remembered
that the appeal in this case is special
ny to men The idea is that men are
losing touch with the church. and the
effort is to get them back into rela-
tons with il.
That being the object there can, We
suppose, be no doubt of the wisdom
of speaking to men through the sport
ing page. 1t may be humiliating to
confess it, but there can be no doubt
that the average man gives COCO
deal of attention to the sporting de-
partment of the newspaper. Many
men who are generally supposed to
be above such things do go to bal
games, and even to boxing contests.
OF course football has an army of fol
| lowers. And as for automobiles anc
golf and tennis, their devotees are le-
gion. AS the leaders of this men anc
religion movement are after men. II
| is wise to go where men are.
'rhe subject is one of considerable
| Importance. There are many wh'
| think that the American people arc
| OVERRIDING their sports. That we be
| lieve TO be true. If it is may we moi
| hope that those who read the religious
| advertisements on the sporting page
| will realize that there is something
| else in life than pennants and cham
pionship trophies? 1t may be that i
| will thus be possible to raise the aver
age somewhat, and to heighten the Sc
robustness of American life. However
our purpose now is to commend thes
children OF light who have in thi
case proved that they are quite a
canny as sthe children of this world.
We shall watch the experiment wit
much interest.

Editorial Comment
Wilson in Kansas.

NNdHStS lily Jpufndl.J
Woodrow Wilson is losing ground
in the West. \ week ago the news
papers that are doing all they can 10
bolster his candidacy in this part of
the country claimed everything in
sight They insisted that Kansas
would send a solid Wilson delegation
10 Baltimore \ short time before.
these same newspapers had said that
Missouri would be for Wilson. Mis-
souri, has already given every delegate
to Clark.
From recent reports it is evident
that Clark will have all of the Kan
sas delegates except one or possibly
TIVE. In Congressman Murdoek's dis
trlct Wilson delegate Will go to
Baltimore. This indicates the close
working arrangement between the
Roosevelt and the Wilson forces in
Roosevelt districts. But Kansas will
send to the national convention almost
a solid Clark delegation, including the
four delegates at large. The results of
the recent Democratic county conven-
tons show that Clark will control the
state convention by Il safe majority.
The change from Wilson to Clark in
Kansas was almost as rapid as in
Missouri-that is, if there was ever
any predominant Wilson sentiment in
that state.

Reasons for a Short Ballot.

Speaking of ballots, what would the
Maine voter do if he found himself
alone in a booth with a 14foot ballot
and yards of names from which to Sc
lect his candidates? On the 26th of
this month, in the New York primar-
les. some of the ballots which will be
placed in the hands of the voters will
be of gigantic proportions. In the 29d
congressional district the paper on
which the citizen is to mark his pref
erences for the various candidates
will be fourteen feet long. OF course
such ballot Is preposterous. No man
can intelligently handle il in the time
that is usually occupied by the aver
age voter in the polling place. The
citizen must have his mind made up
in advance precisely what names TO
check or he will be hopelessly con-
fused when confronted by the columns
of type many feet in length from
which he must make his selections.
The object of the primary law is to
permit a free choice Of candidates on
the part of the people. but a fourteen
foot ballot is surely not an aid to such
a selection. z A

Ahead of the Season.

What they call in England the silly
season is not yet due to open, but its
manifestations are already with us. II

teristic product than this story, in
srired from our State Department,
that Germany is getting ready to back

indemnity from this country in pay
ment for Panama
The reasoning back of the out-siv-
ing of this fable is plain enough:
Roosevelt took Panama. Colon
bia has been disaffected lover it. Now

perfectly certain not to risk, an en-
broilment,with the United States east

the advantage that an open alliance

Weather Making Advances.

II is within the realms of possibility
to make weather forecasting an exact
science. With the present facilities,
the forecasters of the weather are
right rather more than half the time,
which is the best that can be expected.
The trouble has always been that OBJ
servations can only be taken on shore
and the conditions at sea must be
largely guess work. II is now planned
10 map the ocean as the land is now
mapped, and collect reports of wealth
er conditions from far out at sea. The
weather reports from the ocean will
be sent in every day by wireless from
remote light houses and other sta
tions, and from great fleets of ocear
liners at sea. With this data at hand
the weather expert will be able to
forecast with practical certainty.

Business Legislation?
New York Press

tSt@ OK fftSS.t
Among the many interesting eX-
amples of unintelligent legislation Ito
put the most charitable construction
on iD proposed at Albany this year
is a proposal to require all automo-
biles in the state to carry a rear sem
aphore signal. The semaphore is to
be connected with the drivers seat
and to be yanked up to the danger
position when he intends TO stop or
slow down for turning corner. There
is about as much real need for such a
device on a motor car as there is for
a compass. The present simple and
inexpensive way of stretching out an
arm TO indicate a showdown furnishes
all the warning required. Rear-end
collisions are extremely rare even in
our crowded streets.
This scheme was introduced as an
amendment to the penal code, and was
advanced to the third reading before
discovery by the State Automobile
Association. 1t appears that the same
bin was introduced last year as an
amendment to the highway law, but
never got out of committee. A trade
paper calls attention to the fact that
at the same time the compulsory
adoption of such a signaling device is
brought before the New York State
Legislature. a concern formed to man.
