Unps GiUes the Rabbits
An Extra Run In
Queer Play

1 N a. \ 4. y : i
The Bunnies. after apparently pc
ing hopelessly beaten by the lnalanl
in the opening game OF the last hoI1e
series here yesterday, staged q Woois
ninth inning comeback. ued ING
Tribe in that frame and then won ~
the tenth when Hickey banged out
triple with two on.
Bfxby weakened sadly at the ias'
and was drilled over the greater por
ton of the lot Although the Tide
tempered with one Gross denvery
for considerable number of blows
for some reason or other these falieo
to count, for the fact remains that the
Indians really only earned one OF
their runs. the rest being the result
of ragged fielding by the visitors.
Assortment OF Robbies.
Shortstop Wise had an assortment
O. hobbies and wild throws and hardly
an inning went by that he did not
show off some new and startling kind
OF product. His throw to first base
was like a wing in home from deep
center but then the Rabbits made 1t
all ND with their bats and what are
a few errors among winners.
Bixbv started all right and 1t look
ed as if he was going to make some
sort of a record as in the early
frames he began piling up all kinds
of strike-outs, but later on he fell
down in the pinches which were ter
rife affairs when the Bunnies were at
bat But Keokuk's three pitchers have
been doing great work. The Tribe has
been going along short handed for
some time now and the local twirlers
are bound to have an off day every
once in awhile, especially when they
only get two days rest in between
battles and sometimes not that.
The Indians were near score sew
eral times and came near busting up
things in the last of the ninth after
the visitors had tied the result up.
After getting three men on bases and
only one out, Lamb and Brown sue
cumbed to Gross curves and spilled
the beans.
The Bunnies started the scoring
game in the fourth. a hit in pinch
scoring Wise who had walked and cir
culated to third on wild throw. The
Indians tied the score in the fifth,
Lcwther's triple with Wilkes on, &C
complishing the deed.
In the sixth there was peculiar
play. and although Cedar Rapids
should not have made score, the
umpire ruled differently there you
are.
Peculiar Play.
With one down. Anderson walked
and advanced to third when Toner
singled. Mari knocked long fly to
center field and after it was caught,

Local Baseball Association
Asks That Nine Wins
Over the Indians Be
Thrown Out.
PROTEST ON TWO COUNTS
First. That Egan is Over the
Veteran Rule and Second,
i He Has Been Carrying
Thirteen Men

The keokuk Baseball association
made a move today that will likely be
followed up in short order by every
other team in the Central dssociafior
that Is concerned.
OFFICERS of the local association this
morning filed protests with President
Justice on every game that Muscatine
mas won from keokuk since the open
inc Of the season in May, on Awo
GROUNDS; one that Muscatine has been
VIOLATING the veteran rule practically
all season and the other that the
team has been carrying thirteen men
& Ii this protest 10 allowed, Muscatine
wIlI lose nine games, for that Is the
number that the Eganites have won
from the Indians since the opening Of
The Central association season.
May be Followed up.
II is believed that all other teams
IN the league will follow up this lead
and file protests on all Muscatin
games won, for the grounds will stand
the same on all counts and II the dope
that has been carefully gathered by
the Keokuk baseball association proves
correct, Muscatine stands chance OF
losing every game she has won this
wear. This would be the greatest
Knockout blow ever delivered team
but il the Eganites are guilty, it woul
be a fitting punishment.

The Senate and The Senator.
From the Macon Telegraph.

While it would not be fair to say that Senator
Smiths campaign to raise sentiment in this coun-
try to bring pressure on the white house and de-
partment of state with a view to compelling more
arbitrary and a irmer" attitude toward England
in regard to the absolute blockade OF every COM
modify destined for Germany with especial regard
to cotton is done to embarrass and harrass the
president and his colleagues, nevertheless it is
true that ut is probably having that effect. At the
same time that there is some truth in what he says
about the British order-in-council having depress-
ed the price of cotton, because of its shutting OFF
an already falling and pretty well glutted Ger
man market fed through neutral ports, it is doubt
full if that order has had much more individual
effect than any other condition set up by the des-
perate belligerents.
The senior senator points to the fact that cotton
reached ten cents in March, but Immediately slump
ed again, the British order-in-counc going into
effect about that time 1t might be pointed out
in this connection that cotton always does reach
about it's best price in March, and. that generally
Immediately afterward it sustains considerable
slump as speculation on the new crop becomes
due. The order-in-councu may have accentuated
this annual occurrence but it is by no means wholly
responsible.
In the meantime may we take a word to COM
mend the Georgia senate for refusing to adopt the
resolution drafted by the senator's friends vr-
tually calling the president to change his for
eign policy to conform with that of the senior
ator? The senate seemed to hold the position that
Woodrow Wilson knows best what is best for the
whole country, and advice suggestion to him at
this time from less informed bodies, taken more or
less blanket, unthinking vote, is distinctly out
action is like William Jennings Bryan swearing
loyalty to the president at the same time he
stumps the country telling the people what the pres
ident ought to do.
Some of the comments of the upper house of the
state interesting and Illuminating. For in
stance, We have Senator Trammell, of the Thirty
ninth district, and Senator Stovall, of Ebert
Hoke Smith lieutenant heretofore discoursing
follows, says Atlanta service:
The motion supported by Senator Tram
NELL, of the Thirty-ninth district. He decar-
ed the peace of the United States is worth

Good Roads and Railroads.

There is considerable comment to the effect
good roads will have upon the revenues of rail-
roads and some students of the matter profess to
see real danger to the latter because of the in
creasing popularity of automobiles, which, as a
natural consequence, keeps pace with improving
dirt road facilities
We believe those who hold to this view fail to
take into consideration the fact that the revenue of
railroads. or, to be more accurate, the net profits
of the railroads, arise in small part from the pas
sengercarrying traffic. If the railroads Of the
United States compelled to exist upon the
returns from passenger mileage either the service
would retrograde so rapidly and materially soon
to become prmeyal or else they would be compelled
to quit business
It is from the income derived from hauling
freight that the railroads declare dividends, and
good roads, wherever found, mean more freight
for the railroads. Better highways throughout
the rural districts increased production of the
various crops, and those crops are going to be
hauled to the nearest railroad station and shipped
Just where they will be shipped matters little to the
railroads whole. They must travel over the
rails and compensation for the hauling the rail-
roads charge rates which enable them to pay oper-
atng expenses and declare dividends to their stock
holders.
1t would be illogical for railroad company to
oppose the furtherance of the good roads propa-
ganda, and we do not recall one which has ever
done so.

than an open market in the ports of Northern
Europe.
This resolution not read by some of he
until We saw it in the newspapers. l notice the
senior senator from Georgia has been maxi
ing a campaign for several weeks in Georgia
papers to create a sentiment along this line
l notice further that some of the weekly press
accuse the senior senator from Georgia of
being the attorney of cotton spectators who
are anxious to sell cotton in Europe. l regard
Senator Smith as great man and a great Sem
ator, but do not let him use this senate as
pole to prod President Wilson. | admire tbe
senator, but in this matter l differ with him"
The motion was further supported by Senator
StovaIl of the Thirteenth district. He endors
ed what Senators Pickett and TrammeIl had
said, and declared the resolution lis distinctly
pro-German." The allies, Senator Stovall fur
Their said, are fighting for the peace of the
world and for human civiliZation> and their
fight is our fight" He said he admres Sena
tor Smith, but in this matter felt obliged to
differ with him.
Senator Pickett, of Terrell county, took a DIE
ferent stand for the same thing. The Telegraph's
bureau dispatch says:
Speaking of his motion Senator Pickett said
his objection not to the general purpose
of the resolution, but to the words ''retalita-
tory means" He said no man has higher
regard for the rights of American commerce
than he, but above these rights he values the
peace of the nation. He said the senate should
go no further than requesting President Will
son to use diplomatic means to induce" a
withdrawal of the blockade. The president ha
said, is of great wisdom and ability.
and should be trusted to handle the situation
without dictation from the state of Georgia
The words "retalitaory" and compel the
senator continued, be construed as look
ing to but one end, and that end is war.
While the people of Georgia realize that the
action of the allies in putting absolute block
ade of German ports and all matter destined
to Germany through neutral ports is possibly cost
ing them some money in cotton quotations. it is
also true that the majority of the people of this
state are not viewing the question from a purely
selfish standpoint, but more from the larger and
national angle.

Read Anv of These?

From the library of con- ress there has been sent
out carefully prepared list of the American doc
toral dissertations issued during 1918. A cursory
survey of some of the titles is exhilaratng, and
causes feeling Of exaltation at the ability even
10 pronounce. 1t might be we'll to memorze these
titles Think what an attitude of ennui and blase-
ness one might assume when inquiring of his next
door neighbor, by the way, 1 know you have read
The Initiation OF Development in Choetopterus
No? But of course you have not neglected to
glance over The Origin and Development of the
Apothecium in COllema Polphosum?'
This would, without doubt, subdue any preten-
tious neighbor, but if it did not might ask
merely in passing, if The Cortesian Oval and the
Elliptic Functions had been thoughtfully perused,
or if the neighbours children had yet gone deeply
into the pages of Implicit Functions Defined by
Equasons With Vanishing Jacobian?"
The list for 1914 is tagging along somewhere,
and has not yet made its appearance When it does
1t will in all probability bring along with it few
titles and subheadings which will relegate the pre-
ceding ones to a state of desuetude pitful to be-
hold.

Guerrillas of the Air.
From the New York World.

In their Zeppelin raid on the northeast coast of
England the Germans killed fifteen persons and
wounded fifteen others. The previous day in an at
tack Karlsruhe by French aerOplaneS nineteen
killed and fourteen seriously injured. Since
Germany began the practice of indscriminate bomb
dropping open towns both sides these raids
by guerilas of the air have increased in frequency
until now they of almost daily occurrence. On
each occasion larger smaller number of help
less men, women and children slaughtered and
or less property of non-Combatants is destroy
ed but nothing substantial is gained in the way of
military advantage by these aerial expeditions
though ostensibly that may sometimes be their pur-
pose.
In the campaign of the rival air forces at
tempt any longer made to respect the lives of CIV
ilans no pretense is any more maintained that I'M
fortified places, with their defenseess population
shall be spared from destruction. Any town city
of the enemy is shining mark in this of re-
prisals. Legitimate warfare, according to accepted
International rules, has given place to a policy of
murderous retaliation, which only leads to fresh
outrageS against humanity.
Dropping bombs by night London and Paris
has no more effect upon the course of the than
would the dropping Of bombs on Berlin. 1t has
only resulted in provoking hostile excuses by way
of revenge. The air raids backward and forward
responsible for the revival of forms of savagey
which civilization long ago protested to have out
lawed. Today the soldier in uniform is encouraged
by his superiors to kill defenSelesS mothers and
their babies and burn their homes, and his act is
made the justification for similar atrocities.

The Cruelty of Ignorance.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

report from the Louisiana State Leler Camp
shows that of the Sisters of Charity has con-
tracted the disease during period of twenty years
in which lepers have been cared for.
1t for long time believed that leprosy was
communicable through the agency of infection
which permeated the atmosphere in the vicinity of
afflicted person. Lepers were compelled to
dwell apart from humankind in caves, ruins
waste places. A shotgun quarantine was main
tanned against them in the interest of public health,
and each leper forced to carry bell and ring
it loudly to away anyone who might, in the
absence of such warning, approach too near and
fall victim to leprOsy. Each leper was believed to
be virtually incarnation of the tabled upas tree
of Java that poisoned and devastated a zone sur
rounding it.
The history of leprosy should be considered by
persons who inclined to be hysterical about
tuberculosis. Since the discovery that tuberculosis
is a germ disease which be communicated the
infection of caring for tuberculosis patients
has been very rare, and where ordinary precau-
tons have been observed the infection of members
of the family of the tubercular patient has rarely
occurred. Nothing be more cruel to persons
who are i'll than panic among persons who fear in
lection.
