We didn't get in until late afternoon.
NOT once during the dinner did we
speak OF baseball. Harry talked
about his farm, and gave me the

we discussed the situation.

Tears for Killers
(St. Paul Dispatch)

VSC. FHUI OEp8CU
It was a weeping jury that convicted Of manslaughter
Matthias Mas, former patrolman, who shot and killed
an unarmed man in a personal quarrel.
Presumably the Jurors tears were shed in sorrow for
Mas. A few tears for the widow Of the young man
Mas killed would have been in better taste. Mas draws
from five to twenty years in prison, with heavy odds
that he will be out before he has served the minimum
five. But the man Mas ~needlessly killed. the man
into whose shattered body Mas continued to pump pis-
toll bullets while he lay helpless ON the sidewalk, will not
come out Of his grave in five years, nor in five million.
Unwarranted sorrow and sympathy for killers. both
on the part Of Jurors and on the part Of the public out
side courtroons. has long been cheapening human life
in this Republic. Why not less sorrow for the killers
and more sorrow for the killed. and for those bereaved
by the killings?

at all before we were out on the
grounds ready to start the game.
Like a regular Snowman Buckbee
planned to put me in for the last
four innings. This would keep up
the excitement, he admitted.
So I sat on the bench and saw
my brother get razzed because he
made two strikes and then get
cheered to the very skies when he
knocked a handsome homer.
The Gothams were fast. I had
to admit that they seemed to be q
shade better all around. It was 1
to 2 at the beginning Of the sixth.
How they can juggle things. those
clever managers.
Brother Harry was to be the third
man up.
No. 1 went out on a foul. No. 2
smacked the first thing I offered
him and made a clean trip to first.
And then Harry came up. slouch-
ing, in his usual way. How powerful
his shoulders looked to mt. M
wonder he made homers when he
did manage to connect. He stood
there and winked at me.

" % rAEEx IN CkANCE
On June 6, 1917, the French Min
lister Of Marine announced that
american warships had anchored off
the French coast.
The same day the flotilla Of Amer
lean d~estroyers under Rear Admiral
Sims. who had been promoted to the
rank of Vice Admiral, completed the
first month Of war service. On June
10 1t was announced that Admiral
Sims had been appointed by the Brit

allied naval forces in Irish waters
during the absence Of tho British
naval commander In chief.
This day also commentaries the
British attack on the Arras line from
Rouex to Gavyelle in which they sue

western slopes OF Greenland hill,
north Of the scarpe. The Germans,

All I had to do was to back
against the sun and take hold of 1t
when 1t got down.
Like taking q lollipop from a
sleeping kid.
nabbed the pill and got a good
yell from such Of our fans as were
at the game in st. Louis.
Kirby Yates socked a single. and
then our luck turned; for, after fam
ming twice, I swung low and caught
the third ball right where the hurler
had been growing it the first two
times.
Fortunately I didn't lift 1t, with
the result that the coach signaled
me to move on to second. I got
there, with time to spare, but not
much. Kirby was on third and
watching his chance. He was going
to keep the hurler pestered. as he
pranced off and dived back several
times while our Lon Hale was wait
ing to redeem hinj,elf.
He did.
The first time down he found It
and cracked it out. I knew by the
swing Of the coach'S arm that it was
at least a three-bagger and would
bring me in. Kirby and I came In,
and from the yelling Of our little
bunch Of fans I knew Hale was still
hoofing 1t. AS I turned he was
leaving third for home.
And he made 1t with q feet-first

That evened rs mp all in one grand
streak of luck.

when finally we had gone up another
score and we're one in the lead be-
fore our side was retired.
"Vhy not?" l answered, with a
nod, sunless my luck deserts me-"
So I went into the box once more
and if I could prevent any runs
my days work was done, while the
game would be chalked up in our
favor. Believe me, I was mighty
anxious to shut them out. I had
met my first real emergency and
with luck and hard work. pulled
through so far. not only in the box
but at bat.

End Of a Gag Law

IN. Y. NORTHUMBERLAND
Freedom Of the press was upheld yesterday BY the
United States supreme court. But the margin was dan
gerously close. In the 5-to-4 decision the new liberal
ma Brandeis, Stone. Hughes and Roberts
saved one Of Americas basic rights. The Minnesota
press gag law was declared unconstitutional.
BY giving the state power to enjoin publication OF
newspapers carrying alleged defamatory matter, the
Minnesota law clearly limited the freedom Of the press,
contrary to the due process clause OF the federal con-
s~titutiou.
In the csae under review the owner Of the Saturday
Press was charged with violation OF the state law
through publication Of articles alleging that a ganester
was in control Of certain organized vice In Minneapolis
and that various officials were guilty Of inefficiency ana
graft. The state courts enjoined further publication Of
the paper.
It should be obvious to the layman, much more so
to a turist, that the laws Of libel give necessary and
adequate protection against published matter without
the sweeping gag rule attempted by Minnesota.

Reciprocity in Industry

The reciprocity which exists in industry Is demon
strated never more clearly than by a recent statement
of F. A. Merrick, president Of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company. one Of the nations In
dustrial giants.
Coming to the support Of the railroads in their fight
for higher freight rates to increase their earnings. Mer-
rick says:
with regard to the steam railroad dilemma and the
present suggested increase in rates. the American people
should understand that it Is vital to continued industrial
progress that We maintain our efficient and progressive
transportation system.
"One great factor in Americas industrial advance
ment, in the past quarter Of q century. has been the
network Of rail lines, which tap all sections Of the coun-
try making our products easily and quickly available to
home and world markets.
TT would be nothing short Of a national calamity II
our great rail systems should be allowed to d~e.eriorate
because of undue economic distress. Especially so. II
this situation might be relieved by a constructive ad-
iustment, either by means Of an increase in freight
rates or by relieving the railroads from undue tax bur-
dens.
THE railroad systems. with their thousands Of en-
ployes, constitute one Of Americas great home markets.
Our two great transportation groups, the railroads and
the automotive industry, combined, absorb more Of our
domestic products than any other industry"
The statement. and the other remarks in the same
vein credited to MI. Merrick constitute one Of the best
demonstrations Of ~brotherly love in industry which one
would care 10 see.r Here We have an institution, which
presumably pays thousands OF dollars yearly in freight
charges, clanoring FOR an increase In freight rates. 1t
almost is touching.
But the average man Is tempted to look into the
mouth Of this gift horse and ascertain its age. It may be
,mpolite but In this day and age. when self-preserva-
Hon remains q the first law Of nature. it is almost neces-
sary.
II We gaze intently enough We see the Westinghouse
company As . great manufacturer Of air brakes and other
accessories which the railroads use. We see profits COM
inr to this gigantic concern IL the purchasing power Of
the railroads Is increased.
Beyond that we see other benefits which accrue from
. prosperous transportation condition. We see rail-
road employees working full time and spending their pay
