scHrLpNEcHr A STAR.

1t is the opinion of the writer that
right now there are several players
who, with possibly little coaching
could make at least Glass A grade in
any league of the country who are
disporting themselves this season in
the City league here. Schildnecht,
catcher for the Upstairs Price team,
has all the earmarks of "comer. -
He has an arm of steel and gets his
arm away quickly. He is an accurate
thrower and he also keeps baserun-
ner glued to the sacks, for he throws
so quick and hard that runner must
be watching at all times or he may be
picked off. Needless to say few steal
on him. He also has displayed good
judgment in working on batters. Last
year he gave every indication of be
ing hitter, but this season for some
reason or other is off his stride at
the plate Possibly he viii begin to
hit, for he stands up well and when
he does hit he smacks 'em hard.
The foregoing from recent issue
of the Spokane Chronicle refers TO
Hans schildnecht, formerly of Nez-
perce, who is well known to base ball
fans all over the prairie, and who,
it will be seen, is continuing the fine
record he made in the sport during
the several seasons he was here.

SOCIETY NEEDS TO
BE SHOCKED

Judge Ben Lindsay of the juvenile
court of Denver keeps coming into
the limelight on account of his orig
inal ideas about matters wherein he
differs from the rank and file, or to
put it more correctly, he is perfectly
frank and Independent and expresses
his beliefs about things wherein he
clashes with what society claims to
believe. While clashing with society
he clashes with the laws made by
society for the regulation Of human
conduct in many matters that are
proving more and more impractical
as civilization increases it's attempt
to strangle all human conduct that
happens to be at variance with the
views of any considerable number of
persons numerous enough to concen-
trate in drive to get some measure
enacted into law.
Private Peat in his 1928 chautau-
qua lecture stated that turnout all
history, every civilization that had
grown up and disappeared had built
up an institution that fell upon and
destroyed those that made it. Dur
ing the past few decades, legislators
have enacted so many new laws
seeking to regulate marriage and
divorce, specifying just what is
henceforth prohibited in the relation
of the sexes, that there is not much |
left that is not prohibited. Then in
addition to that, society has laid
down enough inhibitions in the way
OF, Don't marry or associate with
one who is not your intellectual

vocation accustomed to different en-

serves all the laws and all the re-
quirements of society and parents,
there are very few that can mingle
with and marry anyone of their
ACQUAINTANCE. Then those that do [

in the muddle of all these prohibitive
and conflicting things, statisticians
announce that race suicide is going
to ruin the country, and moralists
bewail the increasing prevalence of
infanticide and practices denom-
mated birth control" Laws are
made more severe in the effort to
stamp out these things, but nothing
is done to get people to living in a
natural way so these extreme con-
ditiOns will not take form.
By way of illustration, when the
country was new and the rains fell
upon natural drainage system, it
found its way gradually to the small
water courses and fingered along on
it's way to the larger streams and
the sea. There were not the destruc-
tive floods that came later when the
forests were cleared, the sod plowed
up and the country made bare so
that every rain more quickly rushed
into the water courses with all it's
mud and force, doing damage at it's
source and along its course Then,
too, the streams are held back by
dams, reservoirs are made, prohibit
ing the water from taking its
natural course, holding it back until
it breaks all bounds and in an evil
does irreparable damage
A similar philosophy might be ap-
Piled to human wishes and conduct |
by placing a dam, seeking to pre- |
vent innocent and natural associa-
ions of people, wishes become in
like the stream that is held |
back, and seek outlets, natural or
otherwise, reasonable or destructive

human wishes operate as certainly

weight exercise the law Of gravity.
1t any instant that dam is weak,

Judge Lindsay in his study of the

hat they keep operating, and he has
ecently made public his findings

ians and what are called erring

an unmarrid girl might as well be

remove the thing that drives them
to commit the crime.

the following summary on the sub
ject:
Strong Words From Judge Lindsay
Judge Ben Lindsay of Denver,
Colo, recognized authority in the |
matter of successfully handling re-
fractory and delinquent children, is
out in a strong statement defending
birth control q Of cto mr. mir o.
out crime in many quarters, and
calls upon statesmen, not politicians,
the schools and the churches and or
ganized society in general to shake
of the shackles of hypocricy and
stand to prevent the beginning of
life rather than to countenance
murder when life has begun.
Just now Judge Lindsay, who has
| following wherever his name and
works are known, particularly
lmong those whom he has be-
rfended by his great kindness and
,road understanding on the part of
'rring humanity, Is before the grand
ury of Denver, which body seeks to
orce him to break what he calls a
onfidence, and tell the source Of his
Information backing his statement
hat the birth rate of Denver has
cen cut SO per cent thru the meth
DIS of abortion and criminal opera
ion, and says that he will not abuse
he confidence imposed in him by
vomen and girls who have come into
is court to pour their hearts out to
i'm, and that he has enough faith in
umanity that when he has told his
tory to to grand jury that that body
ill sustain his action.
1t is no new experience on the
art of Judge Lindsay to be sum-
loned before inquistiorial bodies in
rder to seek to make him tell the
PURGE of his information on ques-
ons which he has discussed on and
II the good of humanity in general;
.ories not always pleasant to have
, hear, but truthful, sound and
,gical. Judge Lindsay has never
lo1ated confidence and has served

dimes, rendering it to the court for
the release of their friend.
Judge Lindsay says far better that
there be no conception than an I'M

and think on the question, and stop

SOME GRE AT
REASONING

A Socialist editor at Butte finds
justification for socialism in the fact
that conditions in Russia are i'm

says that Russia is the only country
