Order Flags To Be Hoisfed

A bill said to be designed to rem
edy an evil existing in Churchill Coun-
ty was passed Saturday by the Sen
ate. 1t makes it the duty of deputy
school superintendent to see that
the law requiring school trustees to
keep the American flag flying over all
school buildings is enforced. Sena-
tor Keddie said in certain small
school districts in Churchill County
there seems to be an aversion to fly
ing the flag and that the persons who
object to having the flag flying over
the school houses in those districts
are in the majority. AS a result the
law is not being complied with.

NEW YORK. Sept S.-The grand
little sport of trying to buy pennant,
so lately instituted in the American
League, is in for a drastic bit of
legislation when the magnates
congregate around the Hot Stove this
coming winter unless something goes
awry. Ban Johnson is going to have
his work cut out for him In smooth
ing over some Of the deals that have
been pulled off in his circuit this sea-
son, Il rs said on excellent authority
Several club owners. particularly in
Washington and New York. are going
TO present some mighty strong argu-
ments against a few magnates with
a lot of money being permitted to
corner all the stars in the league and
make a one, two or three-sided affair
of the race
The first week in September finds
three teams in the American League
still in the pennant hunt-Boston, De-
troit and Chicago. Each of these
teams has been reinforced by recog-
nized stars this season, bought from
other American League clubs. with
the result that they have been way
out in front most Of the season and
the fans IN the cities whose stars
have been sold are sore. And they
can't be blamed According to this
theory. John ID. Rockefeller could
bring a pennant to Cleveland every
year.
In justice to Detroit, however. IL
may be said that President Navin
didn't unloosen the purse strings un-
I'll he was forced to it in self-defense.

mis- left at will. Murphy set the pace
in the succeeding rounds. and by
working a one-two punch, left and
right. soon had Reynolds holding.
The latter used all the ring artifice
at his command 70 keep his jaw out

American League Pennanf Deal
May Bring Fighf This Winter

Athletics for $4,000. When Collins
didn't add the necessary punch to
make the Sox a pennant winner, the
Old Roman went out and paid S1O.-
600 for Eddie's former team-mate, Ed
ie Murphy. Still there was some
thing wrong. and Comiskey took Ne
mo Liebold from the Cleveland club
at the waiver price. To top off this
amazing bit of baseball financing, he
bought Joe Jackson from the same
club for q price said to be approx
mately 100000. It's a question
whether the Old Romans ambition to
bring a pennant to the South Side
fans hasn't run away with his iudg-
ment.
There are several cities in the Johnson
loop that needed bolstering up, and one
of them is New ork. Rupert and Hus-
ton, the new owners, are making a game
effort to do it, but they're getting little
help from the league. Another is Wash
ington And another is st. Louis, where
Branch Rickey is trying to build mp a
team in accordance with the time honor
cd method. Naturally, letting three
clubs corner the market isn't going TO
make any great hit with American
League supporters in those cities. The
howl raised in New York is still echo
ing.
Not only does it make the fans in the
unlucky cities temporarily sore, but it
destroys what is far more essential to
the game-public confidence in its hon
esty and craftsmanship, and it is gen
orally accepted that sporting rivalry is
the heart of the game.
One of the many remedies suggested
for this latest evil is not TO let any club
dispose Of a player to another club after
June 2-or after the real pennant chase
gets started It is practically certain
that something will be done, in any
event.

D1sCREDITED AND sHAMED.

Expulsion for Representative d. NJ. kuplhea
would probably be little additional punishment
for the house member convicted by three of his
own colleagues of giving false testimony and
of being an unfit parent.
Yet if it is true that the house has no method
of Kidding itself of a member thus declared
thoroughly undesirable, the situation is de-
plorable one. The house rules do not cOntem-
plate the investigation of members moral
character after he has taken his seat, but in
the Kupihea case the situation is essentially
different Kupihea demanded of the house that
it investigate the charges against him made by
Circuit Judge Ashford. Judge Ashford s
charges had nothing to do with Kupihea' s Off
eial status as a member of the territorial legis-
lature 1t was Kupihea himself who brought
that official status into the situation by press
ing resolution calling for a special committee
to probe the charges
Thus Kupihea himself made the question one
for the house to handle The majority report
of the house committee is scathing indictment
of this neglectful parent-this promoter of vile
debanches
There are plenty of good men and honorable
men and true men IN the house. We leave it
to their conscience and their Interpretation of
existing rules and laws to say what the house
can do and shall do with Kupihea.
In the eyes of the public he is discredited
and shamed. The investigation he demanded
has resulted in a majority finding against him.
Still, it is expecting too much that he should
recognize the propriety of an immediate resig-
nation. -.
