Editorial

If some one can explain the
how and why of NICKNAMES,
we would like to hear from
them.
There is skinny" who
weighs a ton; "Fatty," thin as
a rail; Happy" who never
smiles unless some one gets
hurt, etc.
Only thing we have been able
to figure out is that nicmames
just happen. Sometimes they
reflect a human trait; other
times they show a lack Of
something or other.
For almost a year we've been
trying to figure out a name for
our boys over there. First it
was "Sammies," but THEY
didn't like it, so we dropped
that one. Now it's YANKS--
a typical American name and
one which we believe win stick.
It's short, easy to say and
forceful. What more could be
asked.

SPORTOGRAPHY By Gray !,

A LOT OF people are pointing out
n just how baseball must be re-
formed after the war is over. II the
national pastime is resumed next year
it is quite likely that a number OF
baseball officials will be eliminated
and a general reorganization brought
about The man who viii undoubt-
edly figure most prominently in these
reorganization plans Is Ban johnson,
president Of the American league. II
is said that he has already worked out
certain schemes. and he Is just lay
ing low" for the present but will IN
fold them when he thinks the proper
time has arrived.
A 'sTY COBB" WHO DIDN'T ARRIVE.
Many young finds" are called sec
ond Ty Cobbs." but mighty few o.
them ever make good, and there are
any number Of cases TO prove It One
viii suffice, however. and that Is the
case OF Betram Elmer Daniels, OF
Danville, III.
Soon after he broke into the Areri-
can league in 1910 the scribes Of New
York were predicting that the versa
tile Yankee outfielder would lust nat
uraliy rob Tyrus Of his laurels. They
wrote all sorts Of eulogistic pieces
about Elmer and proved conciusively
that Cobb might as wei retire from
the game and make way for the new
wonder. That Is, they proved It to
themselves, but to NOBODY else. Where
is Daniels now7 Echo answers. where
He IS probably in the army at the
present writing-the available done
book tells nothing about him. Dan
Iels started the 1916 season with the
Louisville Colonies. but along in mid
season he broke one Of his legs In a
game in Kansas City. It was the
blow which sounded the knell Of the
once promising player. so far as anv
hope OF returning to the big tent was
concerned. and since then almost
nothing has been heard Of him.
Daniels was born IS years ago to-
day, and started playing professional
ball while still a kid. In fact, he was
a pro" before he entered college. ana
ne used several aliases to prevent the
college authorities from getting vrfse
10 his wicked ways OF raising The
wind He got away with It. too. and

SPIRIT OF THE
ADMINISTRATION.

In my experience with Unit
ed States congresses during two
score wears | have not seen any
thing like the fine spirit to-
ward labor, toward the rights
and welfare of all the people,
lpervading all the branches OF
the Wilson administration. La
Dor has been recognized neither
in the spirit of Difference on the
one hand. nor of patronage on
the other. y
But the spirit of recognition
has been the right one: that
labor should he made part of
the National Councils; that its
patriotism should be conceded,
and that its knowledge of its
lown needs should give it para
mount voice in legislation dl-
Irectly and peculiarly affecting
Its own rights.
This fundamental right
spirit has guided the Wilson
administration to wise and
righteous labor legislation. Be
|eause of that spirit and its re-
suits in definite laws and pol
|icies. how can liberty-loving
Americans loyal to the Repub-
lie and its ideals fail to sustain
an Executive who has done so
much for their realization?

TO Nevada senators and particularly
charging Senator Henderson with
