run was scored.
Remember. though. il was wholly
due TO one mans quick thinking. A
bOne-head wouldn't have hazarded
the performance at all; or. having
gone 70 It stupidity. would have
bungled. But the runner wasn't a
bone-head. He was a keen, healthy,
studious young man, who lets liquor
alone, doesn't waste money or strength
on unworthy women. and is playing
baseball partly because he loves it
and partly because he intends TO make
a success Of il as a career.
The chance he took. however. wasn't
half so much Of a chance as it looked.
II was a definite calculation, with the
odds shading just a little. an almost
immeasurable little, in his favor. And
it's just that little Of superior keen
ness, quickness and courage which
distinguishes the men and women who
win honestly and fairly in life from
those who stay in the ranks or fall
behind.
After so much undeserved honoring
OF unfair winners In other fields. isn't
II wholesome that we should now be
making quite a fuss over the worthy
heroes Of the national game?

A SHAMELESS DECISION.

The supreme court of Indiana, the
worst in every way that ever held Of
fee in the history of the state. added
another vicious decision to it's long
list yesterday when ii held that a
prosecutor could not be removed from
office for his failure TO do his duty,
or to prosecute cases Of lawlessness in
the community. If he chooses he can
snap his fingers in the faces of decent
people and stand between the crimi-
nal and punishment. He can be re-
moved. according TO our remarkable
supreme court. only upon conviction
of a high crime.
Naturally a decision Of this sort is
especially pleasing 10 the saloon and
gambling interests that are thus as
sured that the prosecutors they hap
pen TO own cannot he interfered with
by higher powers and that for all
practicable purposes they have the
decent element Of the community
hog-tied.
1t is a decision that is on a dis
graceful and shameful parity with
that complemental ruling Of a few
weeks ago wherein this same strange
court held that a saloon-keeper is
not responsible for the outlawry OF
his barkeeper and that any illegal
sales made by the latter cannot be
charged up against the license of the
former.
We await with patience the rendi-
ton Of still another decision 10 the
effect that the public has no rights

lures are bound 10 reSpect.-Ft

AN ARTIFICIAL STRUCTURE.

Philanthropy and charity have an
unequal fight 10 overcome the effects
OF social selhshness. They can do
something 10 relieve the situation but
cannot cure the evil of social injus-
tice. Mans inhumanity to man" is
too deep seated to be so easily up
rooted.
For centuries charity and philan-
thrOpy have been lauded TO the skies.
OF late years the charitable and phil
anthropic have been given haloes and
great competition has arisen between
rich men to see who could get the
largest. But the world is beginning
70 understand that it needs justice
rather than charity or philanthropy.
The workman needs recognition Of his
wOrthiness of his hire more than he
needs settlement houses and night
schools. If he is paid what his ser
vices are worth the occupation of set
Element workers would disappear and

This department does the best it

is one Of the artidcialities we have
erected TO support our artificial social
system. In the city Of New York
there are nearly a million women and
girls working for an average of $6.54
q week, and twelve hundred settlement
workers are struggling futilely TO keep
them from starvation or worse Yet
New York is the financial center of
the country. II reeks with wealth.
Fortunes are made in a day and for
tunes are spent in a night. Enough
money Is wasted in New York every
day 10 give these women and girls a

The late Mr.. Morgan made me
president. There were no negotia-
tons. 1 did not even know what my
salary was TO be. Mr. Morgan simply
told me was TO be president"
In this simple. trustful way Mellen
tells US ne went from a job out west
10 the helm OF the New Haven. Al
ways he obeyed the masters voice.
At that time. as at other times.
the late Mr.. Morgan" himself owned
very little New Haven stock His
sway OF this. as over so many other
big properties. was sway Of per-
sonallty.
There was a myth IN mems minds
that Morgan was infallible. And be-
cause OF that myth widows put their
savings into his keeping. statesmen
did his bidding. governments looked
upon his as the power behind the
throne.
II turned out. Of course. as now
we all see very plainly that Morgan
was just a human being like the rest
OF us-as easily fooled, as easily
spoiled.
What's the lesson, you ask?
Why, we think il ought to be
rather obvious.
Isn't il that we had better do less
leaning on mythical strong men"
and learn to stand on our own legs?
They'll probably support us. in the
end. II we give them enough exercise.
There was the same myth once
about Diaz. and you see what 1t has
done 10 Mexico.
Leaders? Yes. But not bosses:
not autocrats. For. as Brother Mellen
could tell you. it's liable TO be mighty
uncomfortable after the autocrat
dies.

Village Social Customs.

The newly weds were given e. warm
reception Monday evening by their
friends.
The parade began at s.3S. headed
by the Pierceton Drum corps. Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Fletcher were the first
victims. They were mounted upon a
rudely constructed cart made of an
old corn pillow with store boxes for
seats. In that they complied with Mr..
Pletcher's wishes as he told them be-
fore, that he would prefer anything to
the butcher wagon, which has been
used on previous occasions, but which
would be no treat for him to ride on
With music and cheering crowds Of
boys and girls they were hauled
through the streets several times and
they enjoyed the sport with the rest
OF them. After allowing Mr.. and Mrs
FLETCHER their freedom Mr. and airs
Tom Brosenhan were given a joy ride
of the same kind. They thought that
they had escaped but not so. Then
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Bailey were given
a chance to be recognized among the
newly weds as well as Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Aker At the sound Of the drums
people began coming from all direc-
tons and soon the streets were chrong-

sion.
