TAINTED ROYALTY

The news that Ludwig, the former. king of Bavaria,
is showing signs Of insa nifty, is of interest not only to
pathologsts but also to the general public because it is a
part of a record of inherited insanity which has attracted
the attention of the world for almost a century. Ibsen
might we'll have written his Ghosts" around the tragedy
of the royal Bavarian house.
: Ludwig l., born in 1885 as the son If a wise and be-
nevolent monarch, became king of Bavaria in 1925 and
for nearly twenty years was able to retain the affection
Of his people. But in 1876 when an 1rish-spanish dancer,
Lola Montez. turned the kings head and practically made
herself the autocrat of the kingdom, a great change set
in, and even though Ludwig was not exactly insane, his
actions after that time often were of such a nature as to
arouse the suspicion of friends and subjects alike. His
interest in things beautiful increased with the years, but
most practical affairs proved unable to absorb him..
Some day the world may find out what was the
trouble with the first Ludwig, for shortly before his death,
which took place in 1868. the king, who meanwhile had
abdicated, deposited seven sealed chests in the archives
of his family, and by the provisions of his will they were
not to be opened until 1918; the records which contain
much historical information, comprise 24e volumes of the
kings diary. but due to the general German upheaval in
1918, the chests have not yet been opened. 1t is conceiv.
able that the chests may contain the key to the family
secret.
The kings nephew, Ludwig. II. who succeeded to the
Bavarian throne in 1864. was even more intensely a lover
of things esthetic than had been his uncle, for with him

ly developed into incurable insanity. 1t will. be recalled
that Ludwig IL after committing q number of excesses,
killed himself by drowning in the Starnberg lake; at least,
this is the generally accepted theory which is quite con-
sistent with the mode of living he had adopted =
This lover of regal magnificence, theatrical splender,
morbid solitude and moral deprivation; this friend and
protector of Richard Wagner; this imitator of Louis XIV,
the "roi soleil" of France, is generally referred to as the
most conspicuous type of degeneration in European dy-
nasties, and it could occasion no surprise that his broth
er. Otto, who was his successor as king of Bavaria, also
was incurably insane.
1t is often stated that family insanity persisting
through some generations withholds its faint from one or
more members. but that it recurs with answering reg
ularity at some later time. That theory seems proved by
the fact that Luitpold, who for many years was regent
of Bavaria, appeared perfectly sane and normal, and that
Ludwig III, abdicating in November of last year after
having been on the throne for five years, now finally
seems destined 10 become the newest victim of the in
herited malady which has brought the Bavarian royal
family into such unenviable prominence.

THAT EXTRA HOUR.

On Thursday of this week Marcus NJ. Marks, presi-
dent Of the National Daylight association, appealed to
chambers of commerce throughout the country to join in
a protest against the proposed repeal of the daylight saw
ing law enaited last year. The repeal would be per-
nicious class legislation" Mr.. Marks argues, explaining
that "a few farmers are opposed to the law. Anti-day-
light saving legislation was avoided in the expiring hours
tural appropriation bill of which it was a rider. but it
is now asserted in Washington that the repeal measure
has a pretty good chance of success because the farmers
favor it.
The most effective argument in favor of retaining
the summer time" is the fact That no country in which
it has been adopted has found it desirable or necessary
TO abandon it. Complaints have not been heard from
European farmers who, it seems, have had no difficulty
.in adjusting their work according to extra-hour schedule.
In this country, however, farmers object chiefly on
the ground that they, when they got up at daybreak UNI
der the old standard time, were compelled to rise an hour
earlier when the clocks were set ahead. but that they
were unable to begin field work one hour earlier than
before because conditions did not allow it,. In various
parts of North Dakota, for instance, farmers still go by
the old time" and even the fact that it conflicts with
train time, does not persuade them to make any change.
Against the objections of the farmers it is urged
that the daylight saving law results in very important
reductions Of lighting and fuel bills-Mr. Marks men
y5ns incidentally, that the saving in coal alone is a mil
lion tons a year; the fact that office and factory work.
ers' are. enabled to get an extra evening hour for outdoor
exercises, garden making, ETC.. is also cited as an instance
favoring the retention Of the law.
Altogether. It seems that those who like to keep
the extra hour added to their day. have arrayed weight
Ter reasons for their preference than has the opposition,
and there is apparently no valid cause for the abolish
n1ent Of q schedule which worked we'll here last year and
has. been tested to the satisfaction Of every European
country which has adopted It.

MOB RULE IN MISSOURI

From Lamar, Missouri, comes the report that a MUIR
derer who had been found guilty and was sentenced to
life Imprisonment, was taken from the court house and
hanged by a mob almost Immediately after sentence was
pronounced: The report adds that the members of the
mob did not threaten the seven guards who were pro-
tecting the convicted slayer. The whole proceeding went
on methodically and businesslike and seems to be meant
primarily as a protest against the abolition of the death
penalty by the legislature of the state.
1t happens that the man whose life was unlawfully
taken by the mob, was white, but, Of course, the color
makes no difference. From whatever viewpoint the af-
fair is seen, it is disgusting in the extreme, and there is
not even the additionally attempted excuse" that the
authorities have been lax in enforcing the law; to the con-
trary, the evidence shows that trial and conviction fol-
lowed swiftly upon the heels of the original crime. and
that no doubt could exist as to the actual carrying out of
the sentence.
Less than a month ago an anti-lynchins conference
was held in New York for the purpose of preparing a
campaign against the injustice wrought by self-appoint-
ed executioners. but there was a general tendency among
the delegates to admit that as long as there is no con,
certed action on the part, Of the states most directly In
volved. the hope for immediate Improvement would re-
main rather slender. e.
This may be one Of the facts responsible. but another
is that the spirit Of the mobs still reigns triumphant in
certain communities. 1t shows itself in utter disregard
Of established laws. in unrestricted impatience. In misdi-
rected passion. in resrettable thirst for blood and revenge.
No sns man II able to find one iota Of. excuse TOR a
crime like that which has just stained the reputation Of
the state Of Missouri. and the sole ray OF hope discerned
through the repellant darkness Of lavlessness Is the
promise Of the governor Of the atats to leave no stone

Attorney Murphy of the Ford forces.
Mythical profit sharing was the

NATIONAL FANS
LOOK FOR REDS TO
RESTORE PRESTIGE

National league fans look to the
Reds to restore some of the prestige
which the old league has lost in
the annual duel for the worlds
| championship.
Since the playing for the cham
pionship between the two league
winners was resumed back in 1903,
the champions of the Ban johnson
circuit have won ten out of the
| fifteen series. This has been taken
by many of the fans as evidence Of
the superiority of the younger or
ganization and the White Sox viii
have many hackers in this years
setto on the strength of past per
formances.
If the Reds succeed in nabbing
the honors in the post-season bat
tie this year, they will accomplish
a number of noteworthy things. A
victory will give Pat Moran his
first worlds championship club. He
won the National league pennant
with the Phillies in 1915, but was
beaten out for the big honors by
the Boston Red SoX. The Reds, in
cidentally by winning their first
championship, will replace the
White Sox in the select trio which
has never lost a worlds champion
ship struggle. This list now in
cludes the Boston Red Sox, the
Boston Braves and the White Sox
The Red Sox have gone through
FIVE series without defeat, the
Braves have weathered the Ameri-
can league storm once and the
White Sox have twice emerged the
victor in the big baseball classic.
Since 1908 the National league
team has won only five series. In
1905 the Giants beat the Athletics;
in 1907 the Cubs whipped the Tig-
ers; the following year the Cubs
repeated by again trimming the De
troit champions; in 1909 the Tigers
third effort failed before the vic
torious Pirates and in 1914 Stall
ings and his miraculous Brave club
swamped the Athletics four
straight. Since 1908 the National
league champions have been taking
a turn every five years in winning
the national flag. If this can be
taken as an oracle, the Reds are
marked by fate to win this series.
In 16 years, only two teams have
won the series in four straight
games. The Subs turned the trick
against the Tigers in 1907 without
giving ti1v american leaguers
game and in 1914 the Braves pulled
the same stunt against the Ath-
letics.
The Giants and the Bulbs hold
the record for shutting out their
opponents in the worlds series.

feat five times. Detroit and Chi

game of the year with st. Louis
Score: to 1.
1t was chiefly a tuning up per-
Torrance for Claude Williams,
who went the full route against the
Browns without getting ''het up"
much In order to give Williams
a real workout, Boss Gleason kept
practically all of his regulars in
the lineup and Hap Felsch was the
only absentee at the start. Later
on, in the middle of the scrap, Har-
Yey Mcclellan, who has been wear
ing out the seats Of several uni

DEWEY LYLE WAS MEMBER OF The
MARINES FOR FIVE SEASONS And
IS RATED WONDER ASA LINEMAN
Ursella and BaIand Heap a World
Of Praise On Former Mate
As to Grid Ability.

Fred Chicken is scheduled to ar
rive in Rock Island tomorrow
morning bright and early, and to
bring along with him another star
performer of the past with the Ma
rines of Minneapolis.
Dewey Lyle is the name of the
man Chick will introduce. Lyle
held down a guard position for the
Marines for five years, up to and
including 1916. In 1917 he went
west to work out a homestead
claim and could not return for thai
season. The hot wind which each
year sweeps over Montana lands
caught him in the net and burned
out his crops He returned to
Minneapolis recently and was in
duced to come to Rock Island with
Chicken to join his old mates, Blu
land and Ursella.
Lyle is said 20 be a ponderous
sort Of a fellow, tipping the scales
around 1876 or 1870. But for all this
heft he is rated as an exceptionally
fast man on his feet, and both
Buland and Ursella say he is a
wonder in providing interference
from the Minnesota shift forma-
ton. They also say that he could
get down the field on a punt faster
than any of the Marine players.
Stiff Workouts.
Coach Ursella gathered his
charges at Douglas park last night
and put them through a strenuous
workout, having to do mostly with
several new offensive measures.
Forward pass drill was worked
considerably, also.
Practice will be held tonight
again, and possibly tomorrow night
with a light limbering UP affair on
Sunday morning.
This extra work is expected to
put every man on edge for the
opener of the season against the
Rockford A. A. C.s Sunday after
noon. The latter are not being I'M
derestimated because the Cream
city has always produced strong
teams on the gridiron. 1t is being
rumored about town that several
star players not being looked for
will be sprung on the Independents
as sort of surprise package.
Patch Up Field.
Douglas field is being placed III
tfp-top condition for the fray. The
damage wrought by the circus in
August has been nicely repaired by
means OF several loads of dirt The
playing field running from east to
west with a slight angle is certain
to meet with the favor OF the fans,
as it permits an excellent view of
the entire play from a seat in the
grandstand or bleachers-
Counting upon favorable wealth
er, a crowd of at least 5000 is ex-
pected. In many quarters the real
dyed-in-the-wool fans are even
wagering that the number passing
through the gates will be even
greater than this. All of Rock Is
land and a good part of Moline and
Davenport are anxious to see the
new Independent aggregation in
order to get a line on how the play
erS will size up against the highly
reputed midwest teams to be
brought here during the coming
two months.
