BALL PLAYERS TNIONIZING

II is with interest that one reads announcements to the effect that ball players are forming union and will possibly affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. Developments In the sport of America are watched closely by a large number of people and many a fan will try and picture to himself what the outcome of this move will be. of hand 1t appears that unionzation of the ball players would ultimately affect the game in fashion that would make it much less popular than 1t is today, The essence of union- ism is unity, cooperation with the CO., worker. How will this work with a ball team, or number ofeteams in the same league whose relative strengths are pitted against each othero
 Cnity within a team Is undoubtedly a good thing, it makes for better mass playing and gives stellar per former an opportunity to display his ability with the cooperation of his mates But unity in league would not be so good unless great discre- ton was used in choosing the path along which to exercise the power that comes with unity.
 The spirit of competition that Is a Il essential of the game might be seri- ously affected with the result that there would be no more attendance at ball games when a set affair, with a predetermined result was to he held. It is easy to imagine possibilities when teams which were in different union standing met, when one had contention with the management when another did not.
 Baseball is a highly commercialized institution as it is. with unionization 1t would become more so. There has been a great deal of the spirit of competition, not enough perhaps. and this, in our opinion would be elimin- ated entirely. everything giving away to commercials Possibly there may be chosen set of agreements where by the sport will continue to exist on its present plan, if so it is well. The average fan is not concerned with the affiliations of the management or the players He wishes to see a real ball game, a contest between artists in their lines. He soon loses interest if 1t is apparent that all that is desired is his money. sx

THE KILL KILN KHAN.

great many journalistic thrills are being obtained these days at the expense of the Klu Klux klan. an or ganization which, it's enemies would have us believe, Is founded upon racial and religious hatred and which, we take it, is working for the elimi- nation of certain elements of our population by some unknown meth ods the character of which the ex- pcsers of the klan have not yet di- vulged Barring the newspaper ar ticles most of us are unaware of the existence of the organization, none of us, we believe, can point out atroci- ties or rnisdoings that may be laid at the door of the mysterious workers in the nightshirts.
 It is but recently that Connecticut went through the throes of an ex- posture. All that has been successful ly proven, so far, is that upon two occasions, theatrical displays were staged by large parties of men at midnight in some remote spot in the country. Whereupon the exposure was on. It seems to have died out recently, probably there is nothing more to allese concerning the kan
 Yesterday it was reported that several soldiers of the United States had joined the Klux outfit recently it was said that men in uniform pa- troled the state roads near here and kept away undesirables while an in- itiation was in progress. If that is 50 the Army authorities should make their investigation and act upon reg ulatlons forbiddins such procedures With all due regards for the good in- tentions of the individuals who thought they saw the uniform being misused we submit that people are prone to make mistakes and to jump at false conclusions when they are in a state of excitement as they would be when held up by a man at the roadside in the dead of night It is quite possible that some of the in- formants in Connecticut saw khaki clothes on some of the guards and assumed the rest, believing 1t quite easily after a night of rather confused thoughts.
 The Klan seems to thrive on pub lrity, in fact it has even invited re.

And the only per sons that could be intimidated would be those who were guilty in their own conscience of misdoing, whatever their religion or race.
 The Klan. granted that 1t has a large membership and is As bitter ns 1t is painted, cannot last great while. The great mass of people is fair and impartial, there is no par ticular desire by members of one race to impose upon another when we regard large units of people In individual cases this is not so, there are many narrow people. But to pre- tend that large body of men could be formed with the purpose of doing harm 10 others is Idle As fast as the membership Of the klan is added to, so fast is there guarantee Of harm lessness built up, level heads will be added to the membership and will overbalance the alleged bigoted heads that dictate policy
 We are thoroughly satisned that the majority of people are fair-mind. ed and willing to allow the rest Of the world go it's way undisturbed, and when the majority feels % there is nothing to fear from a band such as the kan even though 1t is as black as it is painted Mob spirit and lack of discipline through that spirit might spring up anywhere, among any gathering of men, be they clansmen or not. Crowds, dominated by that spirit are unruly indeed but no or ganization can ever dictate what mobs will do no matter how care fully made are the plans to sway the mob. It acts on impulse and 1t is swayed on the moment.
 Be our color and creed what 1t may there is no occasion to pay too much attention to the organization. It ob- viously seeks publicity, let it seek, publicity never hurt an innocent by stander.
