Reading Rose Hits Hard.

There was nothing flukey about
his safe ones. All three Of them
were sizzling drives. Twice he sent
hits past Stuffy McInnis so fast
that the veteran first sacker didn't
have time to move out Of his tracks.
Another time he poled one to right
center all me way to the fence.
Tim HendryN robbed him of an
extra base effort by going back to
the fence in deep right center for
long and lofty larrup. Brewer
was the big luminary. He has
shown that he can hit and that's
enough.
Gov. ElIerbe continued his able
work around third base and shared
with Oscar Witt. rival third sacker.
the honor Of making the niftiest
play afeld. In the second game the
governor picked a powerful poke
by Scott out of the dirt with one
hand when two Boston men were
waiting to score. 1t was A brilliant
play. In the same game Witt stuck
ont his gl0v" and took a hit away
from 0'SeilI near the base line. This
feat was also performed with two
on the cushions.

Starts SIuEGinC in Second.

Apparently one round of the box
ing was sufficient to convince Demp-
sey that he could show little box
ing skill whenever he wanted to.
For when the second round opened
a different Jack Dempsey rushed
forth-it was Jack Dempsey, the
slugger, the tiger" of the prize
ring, intent upon crushing his foe
man at the earliest possible mo-
ment. And how he did it was a
sight rather pathetic for the Miskc
adherents.
Fighting cody. carefully and yet
with a fury, Dempsey tore into
Miske. He never swung until he
was reasonably certain that he
could hit his mark. Miske sensed
that the old time Dempsey had
stepped forth and made desperate
efforts to cover. But Dempsey was
not to be denied his prey. He
whipped short rights to the body
to slow Miske up a little-then
things began to happen.
Very craftily Dempsey maneuv-
cred Miske into position. Like a
flash he led his right to the body.
It was the famous Dempsey trick.
Miske did not figure Dempsey would
go through with the punch, but
expected him to hook left to the
chin.
So up went Miske's guard just
as Dempsey had hoped. The right
handler instead of stopping went
straight through and crashed under

Air Mail and Aviation.

Earnest advocates of the extension of gov
eminent support to aviation are fond of depict
ing how we as a nation have Jagged behind
Europe in the matter of aerial navigation They
point to the transatlantic flight the flight from
England to Australia, and to our unreadness
in the war as proofs of neglect All of these
things seem to support their contention, but
against it may be set the fact that no nation
has made greater practical use of the flying
machine than the United States. When the
first regular air mail service was established be-
tween New York and Washington step for
ward was taken. 1t began the adaptation of
the airplane to commercial uses. Steadily the
service has been extended, until now it reaches
Omaha on its transcontnental course For
the time this city is the western terminal of
the longest air-mail route in the world daily
passage on regular schedule between here and
! New York, now possible and only awaiting the
passage of another twenty-four hours to be for
mally established exceeding by many miles in
length and by many pounds in weight the eff
tort of another nation at similar accomplish
ment Aviation is not being neglected to its
lasting hurt in America, but is really being fos-
tered along practical lines, to point where the
industry will stand on its own feet, and not de-
pend on government aid or military uses for its
growth.

The Legion and Berger.

The Bee has a letter from man who says
he is member of the American Legion, pass
ing through on his way to Denver. He excerpts
to the action taken by the local Legionaires at
their meeting last Friday, on the ground that it
amounts to an entrance into partisan politics
The protest then voiced by member of the
Legion is renewed. 1t is very plain that the
writer, in common with the young man who
raised his voice at the meeting, does not en-
tire1y comprehend the situation as regards the
case of Victor L. Berger. Bergcr's politics
have nothing to dowith his expulsion from the
house of representatives. He sat there once as
a socialist voted as such and was listened to
as such. Meyer London has had similar ex-
perience. Berger was expelled from the house
of representatives because of disloyal conduct
during the He is under a sentence of
twenty years in the penitentiary because of that
conduct. He is unrepentant but dehantly re-
peats his offense, and asserts he will continue
to do so. No amount Of explanation can pal
late the action Of the Wisconsin voters who
have affronted the entire United States by their
action in voting for this man, who impudent1y
SCOTS at the government and all it stands for.
The American Legion has shown only its pa
triotic spirit in demanding that Berger be de-
MED seat in the house. 1t is scarcely possible.

house is not at all likely to stultify its record.

Reuolting the Moral Sense
From the Minneapolis Tribune.

The sheriff of Cook county, Illinois, isnor
ing the plea of Governor Lowden and othei
high-minded citizens, men and women, hanged
a murderer in the Chicago jail. with zoo Other
planned that he wished, through the gruesome
spectacle, to produce upon these prisoners
moral effect that, he believed, would rebound
to their good and hence to the good OF the
community.
To put into practice theory of his, this ex.
ecutant Of the law took an entirely undue lot
upon himself He violated the spirit, if not the
letter, of Illinois law. He failed to take sui,
hciently into consideration the moral sense OF
the people of his city and state.
Time was in Illinois and other states when
legal executions were more or less public spec
lightened age it has been the custom under the
laws of most states to carry out capital sen.
fences in the presence of limited number OF
persons including the sheriff his deputies an
attending clergyman, an examining physician
visiting officials and representatives OF news
papers or press associations. The purpose has
been to avoid. rather than to cater to, publicity
Reputable newspapers generally respect the
purpose that underles these laws. They do
not, as in other days, spread minute descrlp-
tons OF hangings and electrocutions all over
the front page as feeders of morbid curiosity
is repugnant to the public sense of decency and
propriety. 1t smacks of frontier days. 1t is a
reversion to obsolete ideas.
Even If it be granted that the Cook county
sheriff is correct in his statement that there is
too much coddling of criminals these days; il
it be true as he says, that well meaning but
misguided reformers and sociologists are doing
more harm than good in promulgating their
ideas of the proper treatment of criminals, it
does not follow that he should take upon him
self arbitrarily as public official the doing of
that which revolts the moral and social sense
of whole city, state or county.
That the correctness of his theory was not
borne out in practice in this case seems to have
been established by the hooting and cat-calls of
the unwilling witnesses who were more inter-
ested in having breakfast than in the modus
operandi of putting murderer legally to death
in the name of retributive justice.

Progress IN Chemistry

The world war has been the cause Of many

military point of view. the need for certain
chemicals used in the practical arts began to be

The 1920 Census

The years since 1910 have seen great world
events directly affecting the census of 1920, now
in progress. The Tripolitan and Balkan wars
and the great conflict with Mitteleuropa have
so blocked immigration and set up eastward
counter currents that an increment possibly
that increment should shrink from 100000 to
100000, what record will remain!
Few estimates of the population of the
United States proper fall much below 100000
000-and in this swiftly swelling mass the pro-
portion of foreign-b born is much lower
than it was 10 years ago. German
scholars should have warned their war
lords in 1917 that they were affronting nation
more numerous than that which Spain had
fought by an addition greater than the entire
Austrian empire-a nation more nearly native
American than it had been for years
In other respects than numbers the change
is startling National wealth has so leaped up
ward--bo in fact and in appearance, owing
to the marking up of assets-that most est-
matters are probably too timid. Bold ones who
guess at $500,000,OOO,000 may be nearer right.
In 20 years the value of farm products and de-
posts in banks, unfailing indices, have quadru-
pied. The value of single years manufae-
tured product exceeds the entire wealth of any
ones The epoch-naking changes in shipping
and in national gold-holdngs are induces of
power.
Unless such bewildering developments shall
be accompanied by sterner sense of public and
private duty and of responsibility for our BROTH
ermen in every continent, they are source of
weakness, inviting cupdty from without and
extravaganza and class conflict within. No
census can measure or assess the American
