SENTIMENT.


ls there sentiment in baseball?
Is there aught to it but dross?
Is all there is in baseball
Just "kick in" and "come across ?"
Is there mercy shown in baseball
Is it all profit and loss?
Can there be heart in baseball
When snug Mammon is the boss
And the pals of Charley Somers
Slip to him the double cross?
Just as Brutus dirked Kid Caesar,
Slipped the double -barreled cross!

PATRIARCHAL SOCIAL SYSTEM

Perhaps the mos. distinguished characteristic
of the Klrds is great devotion among the men,
berS of families This Is eXemplified in the fol-
lowing incident: chief from the mountains
of Kurdistan descended into the plains of Uru-
miah and there engaged in plunderng the prop
erty of the citizens of the State of AZerbaijan.
The militia ordered to trap the Culprts.
The chief was subducd. They were brought into
the city, and all were sentenced to death except
the chief, who was spared for his gray hairs.
Among them was a youth f 20, strong and
healthy; his rugged appearance made an instant
appeal to every spectator, and the cry rose,
Save him, save him. Immediately the old
cheftain whom the Governor had forgiven on
account of his age, rushed forward and de.
manded, before they proceeded with the execu.
tion, to speak to the Governor After the poor
old man had experienced much rough treatment
at the hands of the crowd the permission was
granted. In true Oriental fashion he thus ad.
dressed the Governor:
90 eye of my home and Of my family We
did come from the mountains to carry some food
to our families and to our herds. We admit
that have done harm to your law-abding
citizens You have sworn that the guilty men
SHOULD die and it is just, but 1, who am par
doned on account of my age, come here to de.
mand favor of my lord The youngest of my
family is with me; he came here because I asked
him. This is his first offense. He Is young, and
has hardly tasted the sweets of life; is Just
betrothed I am here to die in his stead. In
shallah, inshalah lin the name of Cod let
Wornout old man perish and spare q youth who
may long be useful to his family. to feed the
hocks and tend the sheep Let him live to drink
of the waters flowing from the fountains and
silvery streams of Kurdistan and to till the
ground of his ancestors"
The Governor was greatly moved by the old
mans appeal. He granted the chiefs wishes,
and the old man went to meet his fate, while
the youth cried wildly and became distracted
with grief becaus, the Governor reversed his
decree and took the valuable life OF the
aged chief This is characteristic of system
which bears today more clearly than any other
traces of the patriarchal Recommendations B.

THE VOTE ANALYZED

AN ANALYSIS of the vote on the Me-
"A Lemore resolution shows that the Pres-
dent was supported by majority of the Rep
resentatives from majority of the States.
The fact that the delegations from Iowa,
Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin voted
solidly against Mr.. Wilson regardless OF
party does not weaken the force of the in
dorsement. Indeed, it is counteracted by tn.
almost solid vote of New England in favor of
permitting the President to conduct the for
eign affairs of the nation without congress
sional meddling, Pennsylvania, which cast
"a votes in support of the President and 12
against him. ought to have made a better
showing. because the Pennsylvania Congress-
men ought to be able to understand the gray
ity of the issues and to remember that where
salt water begins partisanship ends After
all, many of those who voted against
the President thought they were expressing
their opposition to war. They did not want
American citizens to run needless risks
which might produce complications that could
be unraveled only by resort TO force. 1t
Is unfortunate that the issue of support Of
the President was raised in this shape, be-
cause the Endorsement OF him was less en-
phatic than 1t might have been II It had not
been complicated with the armed merchant
ship question. The President himself. doubt
less, believes that It would be unwlse for any
American to embark on a merchant ship
which Germany has threatened to sink IL pos
sible But he knows that there is a wide
difference between thinking that such a course
would be imprudent ana agreeing with Ger
many that an armed merchant ship Is a war
vessel
