THE BASEBALL DISGRACE.

The bribery scandal reveaied in major league
baseball will awaken a storm OF indignation the
country Baseball is the distinctively American
sport dear 10 all classes; the peak its POSSIBLE
ties a game involving athletic skill brains and
craftsmanship was supposed be reached in the
big league teams Because il is essentially American
and so many men are involved in the major assoca-
tons doubts of its honesty hard Unfortunate
ly it has been proved that players cheered and ad-
mred by thousands of their fellow men, have been
accepting brides for throwing games and that hosts
of fans who have cheerfully paid to see what they
supposed were clean contests were actually being
cheated by gamblers and crooks inside and outside
of the game; while the other players who were and
are square were the objects Of insult and injury
which should be avenged.
For the sake of this great national sport and in
behalf Of clean athletics generally the rublic de-
mands that baseball be purged of this plague spot;
that all these guilty of participation in the crook
ed deals be run down and punished whether they
be players within gamblers without the game.
Embellishments must be made patent Common
honesty and American sportsmanship are at stake.
The many fine clean players who deserve the pop
ularity they enjoy viii join that base

Women to Judge
Women andSaUe
Honor Of Courts

If a woman commits a crime,
no matter how sOrdid or hideous,
jury of men in this country
inevitably Will tend TO acquit her,
and the judge Will be strongly in
clined toward leniency"
This is not the criticism Of a
hardened male woman hater. but of
a woman with normal feminine
sympathies and a sense Of abstract
justice. She is running for judge in
her city and promises. if elected
to apply the law imparually 10 both
men and women.
The evil she speaks Of is too well
known to require eluCidation. The
acquittal of feminine criminals By
male juries, regardless Of their Gull
pability, is one Of the crying scan
dals of American courts. The fault
springs from a commendable instinct
of chivalry. but il is "A perversion
of that virtue. and in this age is
not even a compliment TO the femin-
inc sex. That sex. as il has demon
strated Of late years. is pretty well

It may be necessary TO have
feminine judges and juries TO do
strict justice TO women offenders.
II is probably desirable not merely
that punishment be imposed when
it is merited. but that il shall be
withheld when il would be wrong
or unWiSe. There are many Offenses
which women are undoubtedly bet
ter qualified TO Judge than men are.
There is a natural hope. among those
who realize the defects Of our Grim
inal courts as they are conducted
today that the participation of
