Press Pays Glowing Tributes
To Walter johnson, Sportsman

Walter Johnson's twentieth anniver-
sary as a major league base ball
pitcher was the occasion of admiring
Fluctuations from the press every
where. The great pitcher is credited
with having contributed much to
craftsmanship in general through up
holding the highest ideals during his
20 years with the American League
team of Washington.
The Omaha World Herald declares
johnson has added luster to the ma
tional game as it records that "other
stars have come and gone. but he has
been q brilliant performer throughout
his career, first by the binding speed
with which he could throw a base
ball. later. in his older years. by the
cunning, the shrewd tactics, the con-
troll of a master craftsman" The
World Herald also quotes Johnson S
own statement that IF a player let's
his bad days get the best of him, he
will not have many good days" and
adds: ITO all come reverses. But
only to those who can rise above their
reyerses; who, undaunted, can return
to the fray with new courage and
high resolve-only to them are the
laurel wreaths awarded; only to them
is the way to success opened.

Barney" and 1.-The Big Train" the
Sun remarks: '"This is the best of
all, because it comes nearest to de-
scribing what the experts in his pro-
fession think of him. He is true
chevalier of the diamond, without fear
and without reproach, an honor to
the game and credit to himself" The
Nashville Banner feels that he "has
meant a great deal more to his day
and generation than is involved in
playing base ball with skill and sue

tinues the Banner, ARE interested in
the game, and their attitude toward
things in general is more or less in

Better to Say Guilty
Would it not be better for these
unfortunate criminals to brush
aside the laws delayed and say, with
Dostoievski's Mytia, Eyes, punish
us. God knows that we deserve all
the penalties of the law?
Perhaps through punishment we
shall be purified"
Would they not be little happier,
these two, little more at peace if
they should throw themselves upon
the mercy Of the court and take
whatever punishment it might de.
cree?
For the court here is no institution
of revenge; at every glance one sees
that the prosecutor is a kindly man,
quiet and self-controlled; and that
the judge, though stern as a judge
must be, is touched with the quality
of mercy. There is no sensatiCnalism
here, no shouting, no eXaggeration,
no artificial eloquence, the courtesy
and fairness of this trial restore to
us that faith in the reality Of civiliza-
ton which was for a while disturbed
by the hideousness of this crime.
Up to Judge
The jury, which was so carefully
chosen, is unimportant; for there is
no reasonable doubt about the es-
sential facts. In the end it will be

Such man needs no lesser man to

The flood death toll stands at 800,

There are more than 100000 home
less, concentrated in refugee camps
under conditions most favorable to
spread of contagion.
DIR. William r. Redden, chief med

nounced everything possible was
being done to make the can - sani-
tary. Lack of drainage ana proper
shelter makes this difficult, however.
Health of the refugees is further
endangered by exposure and lack of
proper food and water, DR.. Redden
said.
The Red Cross today ordered
physicians and nurses aiding flood
victims to concentrate all efforts on
prevention of pestilence. If neces-
sary, members of the Red Cross re-
serve corps of nurses, numbering
$1,000, will be called, Henry M.

Doctors are volunteering their

of them probably will be called. A
plan is also under way to use senior
medical students to administer Sc
runs and handle routine medical
work under direction OF competent
physicians.

Then-the Mothers

Behind the man and the woman
are their mothers.
We must not sentimentalize about
them who dares be humanity senti-
mental in cynical young New
YorlI?); and yet in their hearts are
the sharpest arrows Of the tragedy.
The children are too immature to
understand the criminals are too
hard and dull to understand. But
these women who went down into
the neighborhood of death to pluck
from nothingness those two lives,
who loved them limitlessly and Ia
bored for twenty years to lift them
from savagery to decency, who
thrilled with a sense of the unde-
featable Immortality of life when
they held their children's children
in their arms-what infinite desola-
ton encompasses them now, when
all the world calls their offspring
murderers and the comforting delu-
sion of innocence is forbidden them,
and they must watch. day after day,
hour after hour, as the hand of the
law reaches out to destroy, with all
the inhuman ritual Of legalized kill
ing. the lives which they bore so
painfully to such bitter fruit.
How Deeds Echo On
Consider how endless are the
eddies and reverberations of our
deeds.
One clandestine meeting and then
another; one act Of treachery, and
then more thoughtlessly. another; a
crime Of forgiveable passion, and
then, almost forgivingly. a crime of
fear and greed. One life beaten out
madly. and, therefore, two other
lives must end; two helpless children
must bear unbearable separations
and memories, and three mothers
hearts must break.
For affair in another State an
other woman lies, broken as only
woman can he; knowing now beyond
any solacing doubt that her mate
OF many years betrayed her, threw
her home, her happiness. and her
child into the balance as a little
thing against his love. If we des-
pair when we think of the wife
and nj other who could rutllessly
kill, let us remember also this
woman, vino could be faithful to the
end.
