And it may be the French will pick
up some baseball slang when they
learn the game, but just now French
baseball terms haven't advanced far
enough to permit cutting down.
According to a manual of play
drawn up in French by the faculty of
Assumption college, of Worcester,
Mass, a baseball lineup looks some
thing like this:
Pitcher, Ianceur; catcher, rece-
veur; first base, premier but; second
base, secondienne but; shOrtstop,
bIoqUer; right field, voltigUer a droit;
centerfeld, VoItiguer a gauche.

been made to pOpUlarize the game in
France, where many soldiers have
learned it from Americans and Ca
nadians on the front.

On Voting

American citizens will exercise one of the
mightiest functions ever entrusted into the
hands of man when they go to the polling places
on election day. They will decide who is to be
their president for the next four years. They
will choose their ruler, their king, their emperor;
and after they have elected him, they will have
the satisfaction of knowing that if the party he
represents does not carry out their wishes, or if
he and his party show themselves recreant to
duty or incapable of administering the nations
business they will have the right to put the man
and the party out of power at the conclusion of
his term.
We have become so accustomed to go to the
polls on election day that few of us stop to think
about the awful struggle that preceded this
privilege. Few of us will recall the sacrifices
men brought to enable a people to dictate who
shall be their ruler Few will recall the pages Of
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-10-28

history on which are written what men suffered
and dared before the priceless principles OF free
government, republican government, government
controlled by the people. written into the con-
stitution of the United States.
If all of as went to the polls feeling that we
were exercising sacred privilege, purchased by
blood and sacrifice we would look upon the oc-
casion as one of the important functions of
American citizenship. Nothing could persuade
us to vote for an incompetent man; nothing
could persuade us to sell our vote for the price of
money or for the personal gain that might come
to us if our party went into power. We would be
above such sordid considerations and would vote
as MEN for MEN, and we would leave the polls
with an exalted spirit, feeling that we had taken
part in a sacred rite.

Keeping the Skeleton in the Closet

The British Parliament has decided to post
pone consideration of the Irish question. The
best place for any family skeleton is in the steel
vault to which only a. few members have the key.
Let the British Parliament bring out the Irish
skeleton and it's dry bones will arouse all Ireland
to fury. Parliament was wise in postponing dis
cussion of that topic. In the meantime the Irish
skeleton may be locked up, but no one knows how
soon some enterprising Irishman may not burst
the door and dangle the bones before Parliament.
