Church League Standing

i The St. Mathews Lutherans as-
 sured themselves Of at least a tic
 for first place in the Inter-C Church league by defeating the Stanley | Memorial nine, 20, last night in one
 of the best games of the year. The
 St. Matts. are now four and one-half
 games out in front of the three
 teams punched Tn second place and
 another victory will mean the pen
 nant.
 The game was a pitchers battle
 between Billy Preisser of the St.
 Matts and Fred Itittner of the Stan
 mors and there was little to choose
 from between them. Each allowed
 five hits and was accorded sensa-
 tional support, but the St. Matts gained the verdict uy their speed
 on the bases and the work of Fink Iincutting down the Stanmor runners. IThe winners squeezed one run in with much travail in the third and another in the sixth.
 Wonderful fielding was the rule. Not only were there no errors made l by either team, but both outtield- CTS and infielders raced at top speed | to haul in seemingly safe hits. ISteege and Hamlin contributed some lparticularly brilliant running catch es in left field. The line-ups and score by innings:

The losers were handicapped by the loss of sev- eral players but put up desperate defense behind Bradley's pitching and kept the winners score down. IThey were helpless before Havlick's slants, however, and were able to garner only four hits Two of these were by Curt Christ who scored both runs for his team In the fourth | he stretched single into a double and scored on Blodgett's hit, while 1 in the sixth he sent one to center
 which rolled through Barta's legs and allowed him to run all the way around.

The House of Despair

If youth could see the end of the criminals road.
could visit for day the house Of despair and
that is the Assassination on the route Of the trans
gressors &9sA~9
Two Kansas City boys were given the chance the
other day. The Judge had sentenced them to 30 days
in Jail tor motor thefts 1t was police cap
tain's idea that day in the penitentiary, where
they could closeups Of the result Of crime would
help them more.
So for day they went to the earthly hell where
men are Gagged On the way they passed green
fields where birds were singing. Other men had
gone the same way years before heard the birds and
reveled In the gorgeous beauties of field and stream
for the last time
In the house Of despair and silence, train robber
gave th1m the best advice man can give.
Boys I'm telling you the TRUTH said Bill La
Trasse, sscrime doesn't pay"
The boys looked out over the barren prison en-
closure, where broke rocks and rocks broke men,
They saw others toiling in the summer heat in coal
mine, hopeless men, automatons, machines. human
picks and shovels. They saw still others sitting in
cells tn light Of sanity gone from their dull eyes,
They have learned that bandit Bill La Trasse was
right. their eyes have been opened.

Scholars Outlive Athletes

The athletic tradition is said to be endangered.
The ancient and persistent habit of athletes sup
pose themselves vastly superior to the bookworm
in point of health and physical fitness has received
jolt ut the hands of certain statisticians making
a comparative study Of Princeton University alum
nj of the class of rs in which they found that the
scholar ontlives the athlete a general average. A
similar survey of Bryn Mawr supported this theory
and furnished the additional information that none
of the members Of this class who attained prominent
positions took any special interest in athletics.
University claim that this case against ath-
letics is unfair but granting that the athletics Of
today and of fifty years ago differ, the injury to
health resulting from the strain of the highly COM
petitive athletics Of today places the advantage
with the class Of rs. However, it isn't athletics
that at fault, but the present form of athletics.
Students of rs went in more for the spirit of ath-
letics than to enjoy glowing trumphs. Today, VIC
tory is coveted at whatever cost, the cost Of
broken bones and weakened vital parts.
1t is time returned to the spirit of athletics and
devised "a form in which all college students could
take part-not just chosen few with the others
taking their exercise in the grandstand.

Jeritza and Cigars

Maria Jeritza, goden-haired songstress of the
Metropolitan Opera Co., will sing, but she will NOT
have her lovely physiognomy cigar bands. Maria
says herself, emphatically in asking for an in
junction against Louis and lsidore Cohen, which
would prevent their using her picture on
cigar bands.
Maria got the injunction.
We like this songbird from overseas than
ever. The spirit had grown a bit wearied Of the
eternal pose of prma donnas upon cold creams, per-
fumes, cigars, matted milks, nursing bottles cab
bage seeds, and what have you with their eternal
chantines Of "Gooey Soap Makes Me Sing" when
everyone knows very well that the nearest said
prima donna came to Gooey Soap via a nice, fat
check for the saying so.
We thank Maria Jeritza for her good smacking
slap at Bunk.

The World ShrinkS

The trip through the Suez or Panama canals from
London to Toxic is upward of 10000 miles. BY
steamer 10 Canada, across and again BY steamer to
Toxic is about 600 miles. BY the Trans-Siberian
railways it is 5000 miles. BY way of the north pole
it is only 1900 miles. The time factor involved in
the regular is in the neghborhood of 81 days;
in the Polar route it is from 30 to 60 hours. As
time become the most important unit of meas
urement in travel the trip by air the pole would
reduce the distance from London to Toxic to
fourteenth of the normal time existing routes
1t is true that, at the present time the hazard is
great, but man is the hardest and most determined
Of all the animal kingdom. Man will not be denied
In the past seemingly insurmountable obstacles
have vanished before his iron will, and it is only
reasonable to suppose that in time he will also con-
auer and tame the north, and that his airshps will
ply in comparative safety from London, Paris and
Rome to Toxic and Pekin.
Within hundred years the world has shrunk to
less than ahuhdredth part of it's former sze rep
resented by the time factor. By sail packet from
London to Toxic a matter of months, with
danger element equal to that attending the
polar flight. 1t has shrunk from months to weeks,
from weeks to days and from days to hours.
The average person fails to grasp the full sgnif-
canoe OF this change. The majority of the world 3
population is grouped about the polar region. One
of the great causes Of war is lack Of understanding
and sympathy between scattered peoples. Every
shortening of the processes and channels of COM
.muncation and transportation brings the peoples
of the earth in closer touch with each other and in
the required sympathy and understanding.
The world advances with such bewildering rapid
ity these days that is constantly at loss to
keep up, mentally, with the march of progress.

The Dry Ruling

1t now appears that President Coodgc's ruling
allowing state officers to also be Federal prohibi.
ton officers is to be pigeonhoed in the interests Of
peace and tranquility. The PRONUNCIATION of the ex

The rule will probably not be rescnded, but since

tage of the order, it is to be presumed that the

When the Twins and the Whiffct
stepped onto the Zigzag Path that
led to Hidy Go Land, the path started
to jump and jerk and wiggie and
shake so hard they could scarce

in spite of their tumbling, the Twins
got their knots tied. But the Whiffes
had nothing to tie. And don't

Mister Havalook hadn't brought his

REFUSING A BRIBE

you get Ahis bottle?"
In his horror and fright Mr.. Rob-
inson dropped the bottle to the floor
and it rolled under the counter. He
did not dare to stoop down to pick it
up and | would not.
I felt him kicking around among
the papers and saw look Of relief
come upon his face and ! unders to cd
that he had found the bottle with his
foot and kicked it, as he hoped, out

Editorial Comment
After Sixteen Years
Chicago Journal of Commerce,

(Cncag0 journal OF C0nlmerce)
After sixteen years of experiment with law
guaranteeing bank deposits, the Kansas legislature
is expected to repeal the law at it's next session.
Kansas adopted the bank-guaranty theory just
after the nation as a whole had turned it down. You
may remember that in 1908 Mr. Bryan campagned
vigorously in favor of national law for the guar
anty Of bank deposits, while Mr.. Taft pointed out
that such law would put premium upon bad bank
ing. MIR. Taft and his intelligent view prevailed in
the nation, while Kansas shortly thereafter adopted
Organism.
The Kansas law is intended for the protection of
nobody but the depositor And for that purpose it
is unnecessary Experience has demonstrated that
banking system can be so supervised as to permit
the entrance into the business of only very small!
proportion of incompetent or dishonest men; and
these men, after brief existence, end in failure.
which imposes loss upon the stockholders, but
little or no loss upon the depositors
The Chicago Clearing House has been operating
for twenty years. In that time there have been a
few failures among member banks, but no depostor
has lost dollar.
Any arbitrary guaranty Of bank deposits thereby
penalties banking ability and puts premium upon
recklessness and frauds on the part Of banker;
while on the part of depostor it removes the in.
centive to exercise caution in selecting bank. Why
should the depositor pick and choose? He cannot
lose.
Meanwhile the honest and competent banker sees
money going into the bank across the street when
ne knows that bank is using the money recklessly
and that this reckessness is in some measure guar
anteed by him, as contributor to the guaranty
fund for the protection Of depositors; and SO he
himself, tends to get the attitude and
to slacken in caution. This development is not COOL
for states b5hks for the states business In
terests.

thing dark seemed to shoot out of
the cave and throw its arms around

shadows instead of two. The Whiffet
