CROSSING THE BAR.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
s Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell.
When embark;
For tho from out our bourne of Time and
place
The flood may bear me far,
1 .ope to seem my Pilot face to face
When have crost the bar.

KANSAS COMMENT
BASEBALL is DIPLOMAT.

=
Let California pass her alien land
bills, let Hon. Hobson rampse up and
down before the nations spotlight, let
bunk and other diplomacy take a holi-
day, for way has been found to
assuage the grief of Japan. If the Lit
tie Brown Brother" gets rampageouS
anent laws and threats of laws, we
have something that will bind the ma
Mons together as tight as you please.
AND this thing is baseball.
Let our diplomats be skilled fans
and practical baseball conversational
lists, and We have the battle won. Let
the man who serves our country at
Tokio be able to give the batting av-
erages and talk learnedly of the great
American game, and he will be given
a seat, and not too distant from the
Japanese throne, so the emperor will
be able to catch snatches of the base
ball conversation.
The American baseball team, from
Cahfornia's largest college, too, has
gone to Toxic, and lost. Game after
game was played, with the Evening
Iokian telling the people that the Japs
had the long end of the score. 1t was
the great American sport brought to
Japan 1t thrilled these sport loving
Iolks and, better than that, they won
the games Then they loved us. This
was proven in Toxic yesterday when
the japanese school, big Keio univer-
s1ty' gave a banquet to the American
players. Speeches were made which
told of this clean sport cementing the
friendship of one country to the other.
FOR weeks and weeks official japan
hao been saying mean things about
the United States and getting gruffer
ana gruffer. Things were going from
bad to worse. There were few but
sour-visaged Japs to be seen in Toxic.
Then the ball team came off the ship,
crossed bats with the Japs and lost
to the home team. Then it was that
the diplomacy of sport won the day,
turned the foreign mind away from
conflict and made heroes of the base
pal! players, who come from America
and lost.-Hutchinson News,

EXPERTS CLASH IN
K|EFF MURDER CASE
Disagree Over Manner in
Which Wounds Were InfIict-
ed on Yushinsky Boy.

KIEFF, Russia- Oct. S1.-More physi-
clans were called TO the witness stand
today in the ritual murder trial, the ex-
rerts examined yesterday having been
widely divergent in their testimony.
Some of them held that Andrew Yush-
insky was killed instantly By stab
wound in the heart. and that the small
wounds Were inflicted lfterward. The
doctors for the prosecution maintained
that the little wounds were made first
and that the boy lived a quarter of an
hour. bleeding profusely before the heart
wouud brought death.
The experts examined agreed on two
things: That the wounds In Yushinskfs 5
body were not inflicted BY avis, such as
were found in the brick yard where
Mendel Bells was employed. and the
hairs found with the body were from q
long aid curling beard. while BELLS

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT


There is a lot of controversy lately
on the pros and cons of corporal
punishment. Why, not very long ago,
people in England would speak of
going to see a hanging as lightly as
you would now talk of visiting pic
ture show.
In the reign of Henry VIII alone
there were as many as $4,000 per-
sons executed, the majority of them
for offenses for which a small fine
would be inflicted in these days. AS
far back as can remember corporal
punishment has been in vogue. In
the earlier stages of society, however,
the man slayer was put to death by
some member of the family of the
victim.
This mode of dealing with homi-
cides still survives in the vendetta of
Corsica and even occasionally crops
up in some of the Southern states of
America.
