his entire connection with the ma
tional game.
At the end of last season IL is true
that he did break the rule of barn
storming. But did not Judge Lands
state afterward that the rule was
unfair and should be corrected?
Then. surely. Ruth must be excused
for that offense. A short time ago
Ruth went into the grandstand for
enc of those yellow fans whose
chief pleasure at a game seems to
be shouting low and caustfc re-
marks at players not to their liking.
This is the sort of treatment that
Ruth characterizes as unfair, and I
agree with him. Many of our great
est players have been stirred to the
same action-Ty Cobb. for instance.
the greatest player of all time.
Tell me. fair fanny, Did you ever
see or hear any opposing ball player
raZzing Ruth or criticisinE him p
Never! 1t is confined to the cheap
fans who have no sportsmanship in
their makeup. The ball players all
think very well of him. Another
question, my fair fanny: DO you
remember. not so long ago. when
Clyde Milan was razzed and booed
ooN ol Aht Odll Hdl H.
fanny! Clyde Milan. as fine a player
as ever stepped on the diamond.
hissed b. his own people. 1t was no
fault of Clyde's that he had a slump
in hitting. but yet he was cut down
every time he went out on the field.
And you might remember, also. that
the sporting writers had to plead
with the guilty element to cease
their ungentlemanly conduct and
treat the player more fairly. Get
ting hissed or booed on the hall field
does not necessarily mark the
player as a rowdy or vote him into
the black sox."
We do not know all the particu-
lars concerning Ruth's latest Of
ense. Ruth merely protested the
decision of the umpire upon another
player. He was endeavoring to help
some one else and got in Dutch him
self. The protesting of decisions
happens every day in baseball and
always will while there is a point
TO be gained and a game to be won.
Did you witness the game last Sam
day, when half the Washington
taem was on the umpire's neck7
Protesting is part of the game and
half of IL is mere fake. so as to
get the umpire's favorable decision
in close plays and thereby weaken
the opponents chance of winning.
It's all in the game. 1t Is really
amusing to listen to the Washing
ton fans at game when such events
occur. There they are. fighting
again" ''Oh. can't they stop fuss
ing" And so on and so on. It's
too bad the players do not wear
white flannel trousers and blue
coats to play; they would look so
ouch nicer; like gentlemen, for in
stance.
And. Clara! Where does a self
classed $1,000 year clerk get the
right or nerve to pass judgment
upon another person who is far,
far above that class?
FAIR PLAY.

parts of the body cut away in small
pieces. by having the tongue pulled
out by being scalped while yet alive.
or by being burned to death by slow
fire.
Many Of these veterans spent the
best years OF their lives protecting our
frontier. under such noted leaders as
Generals Miles. Crook. Carr, Merritt,
Custer. Terry, etc, whose names are
familiar in our nations history.
The gallantry and bravery Of these
ofhcers and their men and the endur-
ance Of these terrible hardships and
the fearlessness Of the most horrible
OF deaths, made possible the opening
up and development OF the great West
which has contributed so much toward
aking our nation the greatest and
wealthiest country on the face OF this
earth. Thousands who entered the
service during these trying DAYS never
returned to their homes and loved
ones and comparatively few are alive
today who are not impaired in mind
or body or are unable TO do manual
labor because Of Id age. Some have
died in porhouses and many Of them
are today living in such institutions.
Many fell victims to disease. to
storms. hunger and thirst. and of those
who survive many are crippled from
frozen limbs and disease.
And yet grateful country has for
gotten their heroic deeds, II seems
that the people of nowadays do not
know there ever was Indian warfare
from the time Columbus discovered
this continent and as late as 1891
If the children in our schools had been
told of the struggles of the early SET
tiers in the Western country and of
the bravery Of our gallant soldiers
the Indian warriors would not have
been forgotten. but would be stand
ing on the pedestal Of fame for the
part he took in making our country
what it Is today. and would have re-
ceived his regard long before this by
granting them a pension equal 10 the
veterans of the civil war.

The Fallacy of Patriotism.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Stanley Hits at ParternalisnI" is
the title OF an article in The WASH
ington Herald of June "a. quoting
the Senator'S remarks before the
New Jersey Bar Association, in
which the Senator calls attention
to the danger of the American peo-
pie losing their Anglo-Saxon love
of liberty and becoming sbject
slaves to the state with q paternal
government.
In the recent Macalester riot pa
triotic Alexandrians stabbed one or
more washinRtonians and received
broken heads in return.
Fighting for the tribe Is a natural
impulse. but reason dictates that
peac. between the tribes Is a mat
ter OF developed understanding than
renders II more to the advantage OF
the tribe to exploit nature co-opera-
lively than to spend their time in
fighting, which is destructive even
to the victor. Through the tribal
patriotism the Indian tribes and the
Celtic clans killed one another on
to the great advantage of the for
eign invader.
Along with the decline of pa
triotism comes the decline of COM
pulsion and the federation of the
opinion OF the minority and the pen
and plow takes the place of the
sword.
In the late world war we impris-
oned our own radicals and pacifists
In the very teeth of the Constitu-
tion, while placing the same pro-
gressive element in power in Ger
many. where the great Krupp gun
works are now turning out safety
razors and typewriters, which would
indicate that the world loves a rev.
olutionist, at a distance.
The world war was a glorious
victory, not for the allies. but for
Germany, which is now well started
on the road to Industrial progress
that will eventually abolish the
political German-state and evolve
to an industrial cooperative COM
monwealth. which will mean prog
ress or reaction according to the
extent that liberty is preserved or
paternalism adopted.

Board of Guardians.
the Editor, The Washington Herald:

10 the E01tof, Ine washington heIalu'
Palsy E. Follin replied to my re-
cent letter published in the Herald.
but to my mind she came far short
of answering it. The recent develop
ments in the case against the Board
of Children's Guardians constitute
an answer to her letter and make a
reply by almost unnecessary.
Let me point out. however, that as
a defense against the charges ] made,
she cites one case where children are
treated dccently as wards of this
board-her own. One swallow doesn't
make a summer. and one case of good
treatment does not mean that there
are not great numbers Of the oIner
kind. She talks vaguely about only
one side being known. My dear Mrs.
Follin, those who have taken up the
cudgel against the Board of Guard
ians have exhausted every means to
induce the board to come out in the
open and explain its side of the ques-
tion. The only answer was secrecy
aloofness, an autocratic, independent
attitude. as il to say I'VE are above
criticism, are responsible to no one.
and it's nobody's business what we
do with Vashington's children"
1t is even alleged that Mrs. Ella
West made the remark that all who
pleased could talk to all the Senators
and Representatives they wished: 1t
would do no good. An autocratic atti-
tude of that sort makes fair-minded
people disgusted. and certain ones Of
them are bound to see whether it
viii do any good"
Anyway. the biggest pom; made
was that this Board is apparently re-
sponsible to no one, and having so
much power. there should certainly
be a cheek over 1t. People are not
intending to stand for such situa-
tion any longer. and the sooner the
board secs the light the better II
will hc
The attitude of the board all the
way through has been arrogant, and
such attitude implies, along with the
secrecy thrown around its actions. an
admittance of the charges and a de-
sire to brazen II out.
After twenty years the people OF
Washington have been awakened.
That's the situation now. and the good
times Of the hoard are over.

TIMELY VIEWS ON
WORLD TOPICS
"Crash on Invisible Ridge OF Ice,
Amundsen's Greatest PERIL"
Says Explorer.

Capt. Roald Amundsen's greatest
danger in his coming fight from
Point Barrow, Alaska, over the
North Pole to Spitzbergen will be
an enforced landing on Arctic ice
which has frequent great pressure
ridges, some 100 feet high, which
cannot be detected from the air.
So says Lieut.. Com. Felix Riesen-
berg, U. s. N. r. F., now connected
with the American Bureau of Ship
ping, who was chief navigating Of
ficer of the luckless Walter Well
man polar airship expedition in
Spitzbergen in 1906 and 1907.
Apart from this matter of an
ice landing, Amundsen has no spe-
cial difficulties that l know Of"
said Commander Rosenberg, who
was a captain of merchant ships
before he commanded the U. s. s..
Newport in the world war. so far
as food is concerned, there are
caches of supplies in various parts
OF the Arctic known to every ex-
plorer. These, left behind on past
expeditions. are still available.
AT Spitzbergen there Is the per-
manent camp of Wellman that still
stands. There are plenty of places
in Northern Spitzbergen where
Amundsen can land on solid ground
in summer. But even II he should
have crash on Spitzbergen, it
won't matter so much. as the big
thing Is to fly over the Pole.
a few of the caches of supplies
that I know of are Peary's, on
Northern Grant Land and Cape
Sheridan: Anthony Fiala's, on
Prince Rupert Island and Franz
Josef Land, and Khud Rasmussen's,
on the east coast of Greenland.
Best of all. in the matter of
supplies, Stefansson has taught
Arctic explorers to use their rifies.
They can support themselves by
killing seals"

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
1t was surprise to me when on

upon the forty-second anniversary OF
the Custer massacre on the Little Big
Horn. when Custer. the gallant COM
mander. and his five troops Of the
Seventh United States Cavalry were
wiped of the earth by the redskins
of the Sioux Indiana. There never is
anything mentioned about these brave
Indian war veterans; you always hear
of the fifteenth of February, 1888, or
the first of May. Manila Day, etc.
1t is never TOO late to amend. so i

courageously. or who endured more
