Unrestrained Passions Of Religious Intolerance
and Racial Hatred
By HENRY ]. ALLEN, Governor of Kansas.

We confront in Kansas an astonishing development of prejudice,
racial and religious. 1t is seeking to establish the un-Amercan idea that
we can improve the conditions in the state by turning the reins of govern
ment over to a masked organization which arrogates to itself the right to
regulate the individual.
In the South and in the Far West it has committed many crimes up
on the individual, and only recently has invaded this state, which builded
strongly upon respect for law and order, and has given us the shocking
exhibition at Liberia, Kans, of taking the mayor of the town by violence,
carrying him to a secluded place and whipping him because he refused to
allow this masked society to hold ameeting in his hall.
1t has introduced in Kansas the greatest curse that can come to any
civilized peope-the curse that arises out of the unrestrained passions of
men governed by religious intolerance and racial hatred.
1t brings chaos and hatred and menace to every l~aw-abiding citizen
who may fall victim of the private quarrels and animosites of men who
hide their Identities behind a mask. If we deliberately allow this organi
cation totake the law into its own hands, then we break down all the safe
guards of society.

EUROPEAN FIGHTERS Baking
Great Difficulty Experienced in Induc-
ing Boxers to Come to the
United States.

There seems to be great difficulty in
Turing Europe's crack boxers over
here although they can make more
money in American rings in one month
than a whole year of battling in
Europe will net them. Georges Car
pentier put off coming so long that he
got himself licked and no longer is a
card. Jimmy Wilde has been bonn
barded with tempting offers ver since
he was over here three years ago, but
nothing will bulge him. Joe Beckett
has threatened to come over many
times, but he always changes his mind
at the last moment. Eugene Criqui
would be a great attraction here, but
he, too, continues to postpone his visit.
Those four are the only European
boxers wanted over here, now that
Ski has'been barred. Strange to say,
they are the only ones who do not
want to come.

BLAME TONSILS FOR FIZZLE
Failure of Catcher Charity to Play
His Usual Good Game Caused
Senator'S Poor Showing.

One of the chief reasons for the
failure of the Washington team to
make a better showing in the Ameri-
can league last season was the failure
Of Catcher Eddie Charity to play his
usual brilliant game. An attack of
neuritis in the light shoulder caused
Charity to suffer with a lame arm all
summer, which naturally affected his
play in other departments aside from
mere throwing. Recently he under
went an operation for his tonsils
which the doctors claim will eliminate
the neuritis and restore the arm to
old-time form.

Florida and tie Venezuelan coast. We have made one-the Panama
canal-through the other strip connecting the two continents.
The routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific not only pass through the
canal which we have made, but also through the many nature has made.
The real control of these routes does not depend upon the Panama canal
cut through at one of these strips, but also upon the many canals cut
by nature through the other.
Furthermore, the possession of these islands by powers other than
ourselves not only gives them partial control of these routes, but what is
more, gives them the bases from which to operate against these routes and
also against the Panama canal.
Also the map plainly illustrates that between the Atlantic and gulf
ports of the United States and the canal there is a fence of foreign pos
sessions through which our ships must pass. In the same way, but to a
lesser extent, various islands in the Pacific, of which the Galapagos arc the
chief ones, furnish bases for attack against the best routes leading to
the canal and the canal itself. The Galapagos islands belong to Ecuador.
Holland, France, and Great Britain divide with the three republics of
Cuba, Haiti, and Dominica the West Indies.
As long as we ire friendly with the present possessors of these islands
they are of no value to them. If the present friendly relations should
cease, the possession of these islands by us could not menace England,
France, or Holland. On the other hand, the possession of these islands
by them would distinctly menace us.

tiers this year. His batting, he says, is
due to his study of hitting the ball, and
not wild swinging.
Hornsby declares that he did not
shoot for home uns every time he
got on the sacks" His home runs,
he said, were made by a swing that
ne developed during the off-months be-
fore the start of the season.
He compared the baseball swing to
golf stroke and said that in the exc
cution of both, concentration was
necessary.
Hornsby also knows the Importance
of stepping in" to meet the ball and
declared that half the major league
players are unable to establish a good
batting reputation because they are
afraid to extend their left or right foot,
according to whether right or left
handed, to hit the ball squarely.

The Holy Bible Belongs Exactly as Much to One
Sex as to the Other
By MAUDE RoYDEN, British Woman Preacher

By way Of comment on United States Ambassador Harveys reported
remarks to the effect that women have n souls it may be stated that the
Holy Bible belongs exactly as much to one sex as to the other. In Chrsts
teaching there is not a word, not a phrase which is especially adapted to
one sex rather than the other. In all the religions of the world there is
special teaching about women as distinct from men, except in the religion
of Christ. In Christs religion there is no teaching at all that is especially
designed for women. There is no list of virtues which women II espe-
ciany to aim at as distinct from that list of virtues which is offered to men.
If l were to take our Lords words out of their context in the Gospel
and repeat them to any person who had never read the Gospel, that person
could not tell whether a given sentence was addressed to a woman or to a
man. If you leave out the actual words of address there is nothing in the
essential character of any passage in our Lords teaching which belongs to
one SCI more than to another.
is rot a suggestion that women have a narrower spheres a diff
ferent ideal from that of men. Our Lord is the ideal, not to one sex or
another, not to one class or another, but to all humanity.

New Kentucky Thrill.

"Kaintuckyites" had a new
thrill recently when the Blue
Grass Country club at Cave City
was formally opened by a group
of Chicago golfers. On the open
ing day the visitors paired UP
for foursomes and each one of
the quartet carried a gallery
which furnished amusement to
the players. Settlers from a
50-mile radius came to see the
new-fangled game, having load
ed their families in buggies,
buckboards and wagons to get
there. A young army of noun
taineers were lined up at the
first tee to have their first try
at caddying.

McGraW Opposes Union.

Attorney Ray Cannon, who is
organizing the ball players
union, has been called again. He
was quoted rs saying players of
the New York National league
club had enrolled in the new
organization, with the consent
and approval of Manager Nc
Graw." And John McGraw, who
ought to know, lets it be known
that he gave no such approval
and consent" While President

he doesn't approve of the
union idea at all, from what he
has heard of it.

Our Railways Should Rapidly Improve and
Expand Their Properties
By C. H. MARKHAM, President Illinois Central.

Clearly, it i essential to the welfare of the country that the railways
should, as rapidly as practicable, put their existing facilities in good con-
diton and that they should for some years rapidly improve and expand
their properties. The only thing which ever will enable and cause the
railways to carry out a sufficient program of expansion will be to let
Them ean sufficient net return to raise the new capital required for that
purpose.
It ii plain to every man who thinks that the wages labor can be
paid, the income the farmer can get, the profits that can be derived from
business, depend in the long run upon the total amount of production and
commerce that can be carried on. If the necessities, comforts and Injuries
each Of our people has are to be increased, we must increase our total pro-
duchon and commerce more rapidly than our population. We have always
done this in America.
But nothing could be more obvious than that the increase in produc-
ton and commerce which is vital to the welfare of all cannot be secured
without a corresponding increase in transportation.
