Of the reason why the United
States need have no fear Of boil
shcvism, or any other extreme
form Of socialism, says the Nc
Alester News-Capital. Such sys-
TENS appeal only to nations in
whom there are great classes !iv-
ing in virtual slavery, without
hope Of rising above it. From
being on a "dead level" Of eco
monte serfdom, they dream Of a
dead level Of economic mastery,
not seeing that when they be-
come the master class they will
be little if any better off, be-
because the Individual will still
be able to rise above his sur
roundings 70 the height he is
fitted for.
The glory and hope of Ameri-
can life is its flexibility-or
rather, its mobility. The indi-
vidual is free to move around,
and sink or rise until he finds
the place whore he belongs.
Thus, so far as we have
classes" men are always pass
ing by thousands from one to
another. Sometimes they sink
lower in the scale. Usually they
rise. An dthere is no limit to
the height to which any man or
woman starting at the bottom
among unskilled laborers may
ascend.
Our working classes" with
the exception of the unintelli-
gent, the hopelessly prejudiced
and the immigrants not yet ac-
quainted with our institution,
know this. There are agitators
who deny such individual free
dom, but facts all around them
give them the lie.

NO DEAD LEVEL IN

Secretary Daniels, when he is

fore, naturally runs to editorial

feIloW-Americans at Paris when
serve as pretty good editorial
ON the labor question, or social
ism, or bolsheviSm, according to
the particular angle from whcih
the reader chooses to regard
them.
"THe ideals Of America" said
Daniels ARE based first Of all
upqa the ability Of men of I'M
tiatiVe and genius to get on in
the world. We wish in Amer
lea no creed, no politics, no gov
eminent that denies to men of
genius, character and skill the
just returns Of their brains and
effort.
cit is equally true that we
cannot carry out these Ideals III
we deny to labor the bread il
has earned. We are never go
ing back to old ideas Of exploi-
tation; but neither are we going
to lose ourselves to that concep-
tion of socialism that puts every
man on a dead level and denic,
the reward Of brains and initia-
tive.

Course In Tractors During
Farmers Week

Instruction in the use Of farm
tractors will be an important fea-
ture of Farmers Week at the Lou
isiana State University, July to
August 9. Especial attention will
be given to the mechanical con-
construction of tractors, as well as
their operation. 1t is believed that
the lack of such knowledge OH the
part of the farmers is one of the
main reasons why more tractors
are not in use in the state.
1t is planned to have a number
of representatives of tractor manu-
facturers present, who will assist
in the instruction and demonstra-
tions. The farmer students will
be divided into sqads, each under
competent instructor, and he gi-
ven practical instruction in all
phases of tractor operation.

BIG BANS HEAD
is SOUGHT
American League President May be
Hunted Down Unless He Makes
Move In Short
Time

NEW YORK, Aug. 13-If Ban John
son doesn't make some side or back
steps Of definite character within a
very short time, it Is quite likely that
he will experience a brand new SEN
sation next winter-that OF being re.
lentlessly hunted.
Being hunted in itself spells moth
ing new for the American league presi-
dent, but being hunted with the def.
mite purpose of being found and de-
capitated will be altogether new.
Johnson, in the past, has done some
great things for baseball. Largely
through his predominating influence,
In the early days OF the American
league, baseball was nurtured and
thriyed until 1t became the nations
greatest amusement
In the last few years, however, John.
son has done few things that speak
unsavory things for him The latest
of these was his Gripping of the New
York Yankees through suspending
Carl Mays Immediately after that star
pitcher had been purchased from the
Boston Red Sox.
Last winter there was some effect,
misdi-ected as usual, to force Ban to
recede from several, points. Clarke
Griffith, Harry F'razee and Charles A.
Comiskey were said to he trying to
force Ban to resign. The trouble blew
over quite as quickly as it had started.
Now the New York club, strongest
of the lot, is after Bans scalp, and
the bitter ennity borne toward John.
son by Frazee is on the scales to help
Clarke Griffith, welding the power Of
the Washington club, and Charles A
Comiskey, with his powerful Chicago
influence, are expected to Jump onto
the wagon. These things, 1t can be
readily seen do not portend a peace
full winter for Johnson, inasmuch as
it is believed that Detroit and ST.
Louis can be swung over to the anti
Johnson side. Owner Navin of De.
troit has bit Of grief toward the
head of the American league, since on
two occasions Hugh Jennings was sus-
pended when victories meant SO much
to his Tigers.
Johnson was kept quiet for time
by warnings, but he has broken out
again, and IL he really can be forced
from the presidency Of the league it
probably will come to pass during the
coming winter months.

Proposition 70 Revive Baseball Here
Brings to Mind Some Of the
Old stars Of the Iowa
League.
KEoKUK IS GOOD TOWN
without ever Winning Pennant
This City Has Been Loyal in
the Extreme 20 Its
Teams

The proposition 10 revive the old
Central association brings TO mind
the early days OF professional base
bail in Iowa, when Keokuk was a
member OF the first Iowa league. IL
was back in the 1908 when Cy
Black was brought from Nebraska TO
manage the Keokuk team Black
brought lot of players with HIM
from Nebraska, but the other fellows
seemed to have better men or got
better results, for the locals finished
in fifth place. In fact this city
proved Itself rafting good ball
town. because without e7er winning
a pennant IN the ten or more years
OF professional organized league
baseball, the fans here supported the
team in great shape
In the league the fret year were
players who hare since gone into
the majors. Jimmy Archer Of the
Cubs, played with Boone, for in
stance. Several OF the Iowa league
pitchers that year had q chance to
try out for berths In the majors the
next spring. And speaking of pitch
ers, there Is a good story In names
in the old league. There were two
huIlers, Haviland who pitched for
Keokuk, and Korns who was on the
mound for Boone. Both these slab
artists were regular David and iona
thans of the field, but they hardly
spoke to one another on the helc.
And when it came TO fielding they
delighted In cutting across the base
line. ostensibly 70 back up first base.
but in reality to interfere with each
other.
One day Haviland timed his juno
ton with the Korns just right and
they colifded. A feminine voice in
the grand stand yelled out, Don't
you step on my Korns." This so
conyuIsed both players that they for
got 10 do more than glare az one
another Another time the same
voice suggested when Korns was try
ing 10 give Jimmy Havfland nervous
prostration lodging his bean ball,
Don't you break up my HayiIand."
Following Black came Ned Egan,
with classy array OF talent which
broke on the home stretch. Then
there were Pat McAndrews, Dave
Frank Boyle, the late
Charlie Yeager, and many other lead
ers who tried TO cop for the Indians.
In the matter Of individual stars
Keokuk had several Red Corriden
and Archie Hill both went into
higher company, and Charlie Hollo-
cher got his first boost here.
