ROBINS PICK UP SPEED ON
 THEIR BASES

BROOKLYN N. Y, Feb 20 Your Uncle Hobbies Robins may not have struck much fear into the hearts Of tho enemy last ssa- son, but they did al least show considerable improvement in one department of pastinling.
 That was in stealing bases. The Dodgers long have been notorious fly weak in the pilfering act h fact, they rated as the slowest club in the majors for several campaigns. One season the teams sack-snatching mark was exactly S2.
 In 1927, however, Brooklyn sur prised the multitude by turning in lO5 swipes, finishing second to Frankie Frlsch and his Cardinals. who challSed up 11o. Moreover, Brooklyn ranked fourth among the f6 big league clubs. Detroit topped em all with 14t, Wash ington being second With 1sS-

the Athletics to play right field, is really coming home, for most of his major league career has been spent wearing a White Ele- phant uniform. Miller broke in with Washington but went to the Athletics in 1922 and remained on the outfield staff of Connie Mack until 1926 when he was traded to the St. Louis Browns. Now he is back again, with a bit more bulk but still fast.
 Al Simmons, sole survivor of the outfield cast, completed by Ty Cobb and Buck Wheat in "The Runner-Up of 1921" will have to go only a few feet to find

his corner He played center field last season. This year he will move over to left to make room for the gray ball hawk who in spite of his 40 years can travel along with the best outfielders in the business. Simmons hits the ball in spite of his awkward stance and in 1925 hung up a mark of .3S6.
 Speaker will prove helpful to the Athletics beyond question The Texan showed the youngsters how to go back on a fly ball 20 years ago and he is still showing them, old and young. that many q potential extra base hit can be caught if fielder starts early enough in the right direction.

 Cobb. however, had to go away before Speaker could come in, for Ty was expensive and Iris is not cheap. Some of the close ob- servers suggested last season when Cobb was signed by the Athletics that his fading legs would not carry him through an other campaign. They were wrong for the Georgia Peach played reg ularly until the Athletics had sec. ond place cinched and could not go any farther up the ladder Cobb's eyes were just as good as ever and he hit among the lead CTS. His weakness was on de- fense. He was not equal to the quick starts outfielders must make for hard-hit balls.
 Speaker will catch some of the balls Cobb missed, although he is not likely to hit as we'll as his friend from Georgia. At that he will bat over 900. As Wilbers Robinson said of Cobb, Speaker and Wheat last spring:
 These old boys will be able to hit when you have to roll 'efh to the plate in wheel chairs"

The Perils of Past Digging

Leaving out of it entirely the political application
there is room for phiosophizing on the mess William
Allen White stirred up when he began digging back
into the legislative career of AL Smith twenty years
ago
When anybody begins that sort of thing for
political other purposes, he very well might
bic to himself first that old line about people
who live in glass houses:
Now Bill White is very likable chap and bully
good writer, to say nothing Of being a successful
editor. So when he cut loose with the best he had
in his culver against AL Smith, what he said was
bound to attract attention.
1t did. But somebody on the other side of the
partisan fence got busy right away and began digging
into Whites past.
Among other things they found was that at one
time White has referred to his fellow-Kansan, one
Charles Curtis, as nt-wit; and that when White
edorally attacked Curtis back in the good old Kan
days, Curtis right back at him and over
his own signature said that at one time White was
caned on the streets of Empora by an old soldier,
which pleased the people of Emporia that they
bought the brave old soldier a god-headed cane to
take the place of the one he used YOU
Adding insult to injury, said Curtis, Senator
for Kansas and candidate for Vice President on the
Republican ticket, wrote for publication over his
signature the charge that the same White had been
horsewhipped in the streets Of Emporia by woman
and that White once wrote number of paragraphs
belittling William Mckinley
All Of which is enough to prove that it isn't prof
table for any one, unless his life is total blank,
to start the game Of past-digging.
The principle of the statute Of limitations should
apply in politics as we'll as in law

How About the Other Side?

When the nineteenth international congress
against alcoholism opens in Antwerp, Aug. 20, the
United States will be represented by DR.. j. M Doran
Federal commissioner of prohibition.
DR.. Doran, according to his own statement will
present paper there expressing the opinion that pro-
hbition in America has been wholesome and bene-
fetal to the Nation.
The significance of this opinion lies in the fact that
it carries official weight and will be delivered not be-
fore political convention, but before an assembage
of students and scientists.
The international congress against alcoholism is
no ordinary gathering 1t is composed of thinkers
laboratory workers and experts in the economic
physical, social and political sciences.
Their meeting is in the nature Of clinic, at which
every phase of the influence of alcohol upon the hui
man race will be discussed.
We have objection to DR.. Doran's stating his
opinion We believe he is sincere in his views But
differing with him as we do concerning the effects
of prohibition in the United States, wish that
one of equal prominence were the program of the
congress who could describe the other side of the pic
ture
Perhaps provision has been made for this; if not
the learned congress will not have complete survey
of the question of alcoholism Prohibition, with its
sumpuary legislation its fostering of contempt for
law corruption of officials and commission of crime,
can not be adequately presented "sunny-side up"

Congress- and Roy O. West

Some twenty years ago Congress passed law that
is of particular interest today in respect to Roy O.
West of Chicago, newly appointed secretary of in
terror.
The law provides that mo member or agent of
any firm person directly or indirectly interested
in the pecuniary profits contracts of a corpora
tion joint stock company, association or firm shall
be employed or shall act as an officer or agent of
the United States for the transaction of business with
such corporation joint stock company, association or
firm
Next winter legal minds in the United States Sen
ate will grapple with Interpretation of this law as it
applies to West and his extensive holdings in private
power companies.
But meanwhile, to the lay mind, the facts sur
rounding Vests appointment present very diff
cult problem of proprety.

New Ideal

Thinking in itself is not enough.
What counts is the thing we think
about, the thing we rate as most
worth while.
Most of us develop fads and
hobbies, which are all right as long
as they center around what we can
do for ourselves. When they center
around what we can do to others,
however, they become dangerous.
The boy who makes Jesse James
his hero may be just as bright and
just as ambitious as the boy who
takes Lindbergh for a model. The
scientist who goes without his SUP
per in order to complete an expert
ment may be just as much Of a
fanatic as the religious zealot who
goes without food to preach hate.
The sense Of value we acquire as
children goes a long way in de-
termining whether we. are to be-
come social assets or liabilities.
In this hectic day of jazz, jelly
beans and faded JOY riders, the avi-
ator comes as a God-send to our
boys and girls, giving them some
thing to think about besides boot
leg literature and Charleston mara
thOnS.

ton to the knowledge which the fighters themselves
possessed, the separate and distinct profession OF
what today would call the physician and the
surgeon existed at the time.
Homer mentions two of them by name, Machaon
and PodaliriuS, the Of Aesculapus or Asclepus
as he is sometimes called.
Aesculapius later worshiped in Greece as the
god of healing but in Homeric times he was known
as the king of Thessaly
This point is of interest for it would seem to show
that, unlike Egypt and India where medicine began
part of religion, Greece developed medicine orig
inaly on more worldly basis
1t is also interesting to note the early division into
medicine and surgery in Greece.
Homer speaks of Machaon as healing injuries. He
the surgeon.
But Podalirius was what we would call a phySi-
clan internist today for Homer says that he had
received from his father the gift of recognizing what
was not visible and tending what could not be healed
No connection between prestcraft and medicine is
to be found in Homer.
But this developed later in Greece when the sick
brought for treatment to the temples of Aescu
lapius.

Hoover and Roy West

Nobody can be entirely happy in politics. 1t isn't
of those games where you pick your company,
and candidate sit back and say he won't let
anybody vote for him who isn't 100 per cent this that
or the other. The party gate swings wide open and
everybodys invited to in and walk all the
lawn.
So no matter which candidate voter favors this
year. he will have to touch elbows with folks he
wouldn't pick for golf, bridge, or prayer-meeting
companions.
That doesn't mean however that he has to throw
his arms around everything that blows in and kiss it
on both cheeks.
If you like AL Smith, for example believe he is on
the level and would make the kind Of President you
want this trip, you don't have to join Tammany Hall
Or change your religion to vote for him.
And if you like Herbert Hoover, as we do and think
MS character is of the best, you vote for him.
without sacrificing any Of your set beliefs.

Healthy Heroes

Say what you will about trans
Atlantic flights and polar expedi-
tions, with death and disaster as the
too frequent reward Of heroism, they
are contributing lot to make our
young people think healthily and
robuStly.
Here at least is more appealing
adventure than trying to get a
doggier pair of pumps than the girl
next door, or Of discovering a bet
ter brand of hooch than was pro-
duced at the last party.
The Lindberghs, Byrds, Chamber
lains and their like have given our
boys a new type of man to emulate
and our girls new type of Prince
Charming" to dream about.
Where we have sat as spectators,
interrupting our baseball games,
wild parties and golf just long
enough to gasp with amazement,
or tear up telephone books by way
of tribute, the next generation will
take hold Of the flying stick with
bear hands and make aviation an
industry, as we'll as a sport.
The door has been opened not
only for good pilots, but for good
executives, for promoters, inventors
and even stock statesmen, though we
have quite enough of the latter al
ready.
What the railroad did for Van
derbilt, Gould, Hartman and Hill;
what the auto has done for Henry
Ford, and what all great modern in
dustries have done for millions of
bright young men, aviation promises
to duplicate.

Cure for ReformerS

Red blood is what we need not
only for the sake of progress, but
to meet those problems which have
developed mainly through the idea
that everyone could be made good
by writing many laws, instead of
enforcing few and by preaching
hopelessly unattainable ideals, in
stead of practicing common sense.
Where we formerly had the in
tolerance of narroWness, we now
have the futile sniping of shallow
ness, and where our forefathers
made life miserable by conforming
to their rigid beliefs, we make it
miserable by ridiculing every form
of belief.
Our chief weakness is ninding
each others business, and that has
arisen from the fact that machinery
and inventiveness left us too little
Of our own.
Labor-Saving devices have served
no purpose more distinctly than to
compel us to find work by creating
all kinds Of useless trades and pro-
LESSONS. The professional reformer
made his appearance along with the
mlddleman and high-priced enter
tainer.
The airplane promises not only
new field of adventure, but work
for those who can't seem to keep
busy, except by amusing, or reform
ing their fellows.

Lebanon Reporterl


Central Indiana motor bandits
have slackened their pace and
abandoned the highways for the
present at least. The organized
drive Of police officials backed no
by an aroused public sentiment
has frightened even the bold
bandits.
They have quit their work sim
ply because they are mortally
afraid of cold lead and death. The
prospect Of prison sentences don't
worry them, but when police off,
GERS began to patrol highways with
instructions to shoot to kill' all
motor bandits Of the profession of
banditry suddenly became highly
unpopular.
We are sincerely gratifled to OBJ
serve that the police officers of
Boone county and Lebanon are CO.
operating with the State police
force and the indianapolis police
IN the campaign against the
bandits.
Putting terror into the hearts of
these villainous criminals is the
only way to end the reign of
terror which they themselves seek
to maintain.
Five bandits shot down in the
act OF robbery will do more to
check the crime wave than the
arrest Of 500 petty thieves who
are granted bail and postpone
ment of trials.
