Boy Not Yet 20.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

~ ECIL TRAVIS, not yet 2c
I years old, will be the prize
Y rookie with the Nationals
at their training camp
somewhere in the South next
Spring, those in charge of the
Washington ball club believe.
Pride of the Chattanooga Look
outs this year, this youngster is
picked as just the player to be
groomed as successor to Oswald
Bluege at the third base post.
This doesn't mean, of course, that
Bluege is about ready to step out of
the picture. Ossie still rates as one
of the best fielding third sackers in
the majors and though his batting
averages are rarely heavy he hits in
timely manner as his records for driv-
ing runs across year after year attest.
But Bluege, who has been third-bas-
ing right regularly for the Nationals
since he was recalled from the Mime
apolls club at the end of the 1922 cam
paign, will be 80 years old tomorrow.
When a player, no matter how brilliant
he may have been, is above the 30-year
mark, 1t is time to cast about for a
likely successor, major league clubs
figure.
The average club owner wants to
protect his interests with time to spare.
In base ball. especially big league base
ball, it is dangerous to wait until the
last minute to lay in store replace
ments.

and Joe Cronin, now the clubs
manager saw Travis in action last Spring
When the Nationals played in cxhibi-
tons in Chattanooga. They heard
Engel praise the yolngster plenty and
what they saw of Travis impressed
them. At that time, Travis actually
was the property of the Washington
club, for he had been picked up from
the Chattanooga farm at the end of
the 1881 season. However. without
trial, the youngster was back with the
Lookouts again, but under option. 1t
was believed full season in the minors
would bring him out.
This time, though, Travis will come
up and probably to stick with the Ma
tlonak. He might become a handy
utility lnflelder. He still may need
much grooming to make him finished
ne!der for he had his faults around
the thlro sack the past season. Travis
was not particularly adept at coming
IN for slow taps or at breaking to his
left to protect his shortstop on slug
giSn roller. He wasn't a BIuege. But
now many are?
However, Travis showed unmistakable
signs OF being a natural hitter. And

want to collect. player can be

TRAVIS performances with the

I'HAVlS performances with the
i Lookouts indicate he should prove
worthwhile addition to the
ranks of the Nationals. He has fielded
well for them, batted in sturdy fash
ion and though youngster has played
steadily under. the most exacting con-
ditions.
Coming over from his home in Riv-
erdale. Ga, small town near Allan
ia, in the 1881 season, Travis caught
on with the Chattanooga even though
he had had no professional experience
A big, raw-boned kid, he was a trifle
awkward afield, but he managed to
swing mean bat.
1t was his ability to hit that really
caused Joe Engel, the Chattanooga
clubs greatest president, to retain
Travis. The youngster improved stead
ilv as the 1891 season progressed and
when the 1882 campaign got under way
ne was a fixture at third base for the
Lookouts.
Taller and heavier-he had grown to
6 feet. y inch in height and TO ITS
pounds in weight-Travis stepped into
the ball better than ever. Although
swinging from the left side, he solved
couthpaw slabbing as well as the ortho-
doX kind
At the end of the 1882 campaigning,
young Travis could show the fine bat

MnlIiSOn

Five years ago, in the hectic "Lindbergh summer"
of 1927, most any one would have predicted that
within five years a flight across the ocean would be
too common to make the front page.
But such is not the case. James A. Mollison Fri
day flew from Ireland to America, the first solo east
lowest crossing, and it was front page news. Trans
oceanic flying hasn't progressed as far as those who
looked through rose-colored glasses in 1927 expected.
The reason? There have been too many Mollisons
and too few Gronaus. Toe. many stunt flights, and
too few studied, cautious crossings, Too many hops
for fame and too few for scientific progress.
Mollison, like dozens Of others before him, few
thousands Of miles over water in a land plane, and
without radio. 1t was ridiculously courageous. We
all, of course, admire courage. Even the courage of
a man who fights a buzz saw. But go.
Mollison already has done his share in the real
advancement IF aviation. His speed flights in light
planes from London to Australia and from London
to Capetown helped wear in" trails that before long
daily will know the roar of regularly scheduled air
liners.
But his fight across the Atlantic wasn't so worthy.
The most sensible thing about it, it seems to us, was
his remark, upon landing in New Brunswick, that he
had come down because he was tired

And in the Name of Law!

President Hoover in his acceptance speech declared
that prohibition enforcement in unwilling sections has
meant "a spread of disrespect not only for this law,
but for all laws. grave dangers of practical nullifica-
ton of the Constitution, a degeneration in municipal
government, and an increase in subsidized crime and
violence"
In the same speech, discussing the same law,
President Hoover said: The first duty of the Presi-
dent of the United States is to enforce the laws as
they exist. That I shall continue to do to the ut
most Of my ability"
And the encouragement Of the United States,
despite reductions in the federal prohibition staff die
tated by economy, now openly insists there must be
no relaxation of relentless enforcement.
Strange situation!
The federal government Of this enlightened nation
must go on spending millions of dollars of taxpayers
money to enforce a law which admittedly spreads dis
respect for all law, which admittedly encourages multi
hcation of the Constitution, which admittedly demon
allies local governments, which admittedly increases
subsidized crime!
A people heavily burdened with taxation, fighting
depression, nevertheless must furnish it's government
funds with which to undermine and weaken further
both government and law!
And this for a law the repeal of which would
tighten the tax burden by 81, 100000. 900!
Could there be more compelling argument for the
end of prohibition as swift and sure as congress can
make it by modification of the volstead act and by
starting the process Of repeating the eighteenth
amendment?
Would even a special session of congress be un-
warranted to stop such intolerable perversion of ma
tional purpose and effort, such worse than waste of
taxpayers dollars?
N~eedlessly to prolong a law which is an admitted
menace to law is not reason, but madness.
No civilized nation goes on deliberately poisoning
its own national life after it has recognized the poison.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-08-20
Social Disorder

We have been freer these hard times from strikes
and lockouts and all forms of social disorder than
even in normal times, according to President Hoover.
Strikes and lockouts, it is true, have been COM
paratively rare, with one marked exception-the coal
war. In Kentucky more than a dozen men have
hecn killed and five miners convicted of murder con-
spiracy.
In Illinois, 10000 miners are massing at Taylor
vile, while troops are held in readiness to dispense
them. In West Virginia, mine guards just have fired
on strikers, killing one and wounding several. In In
diana, Ohio and Arkansas, militia has been called
to quell mine disturbances. The strikes, far-hung
and bitter, have resulted from intolerable mine con-
ditions. %
In congress, repeated demands have been made
for federal Investigation and regulation. Hoover has
given no sign that he knows such conditions exist.
The Presidents statement that all forms of social
disorder have been less than normal is challenged
by the facts. The recent army rout by tank, torch,
and bayonet of unarned veterans encamped at Wash
ington was a wanton and disastrous social disorder.
Compared with Madrid, whose Spanish police, I'M
aided by troops, recently stopped a real revolutionary
movement, Washington's display of fear and force
makes us appear ridiculous to the world.
There have been other officially perpetrated dis
orders, clubbing, casing. and shooting of unarmed
jobless citizens in other cities, such as. Dearborn and
Los Angeles.
In ignoring the causes of the coal wars and in
the i'll -conceved assault upon the veterans, the fed
eral government has given a poor example to states
and cities.
Both the President and Vice-President, in recent
speeches, have invoked the fundamental traditions
of the American people. Basic to these traditions
are the rights of peaceful assemblage and protest.

Policy Based on Errors


EXCEPT for damage claims which
~ American citizens or corpora
tons have made against Russia, and
which amount to approximately
$500, 000, 900, and a government claim
which amounts to 500, 000, 900 plus
interest, there is no reason why our
relations with Russia should not be
regular and normal.
Had we tried as hard to reach a
settlement with her as we have with
most other countries, there is no
reason to suppose the controversy
still would be hanging fire.
Our policy toward Russia has
been based on two erroneous as
sumptions-hrst, that her form OF
government couldn't last. Second,
that it was unfit to deal with if it
did last.
These assumptions we're not only
false in fact, but equally so in prin-
ciple. Nothing in our displomatiC
history warrants the refusal to rec
ognize an established government
because of the belief on anybody's
part that is can't last.
Neither was this republic founded
on the idea that it had the right tc
classify a government as unfit
against the will and wishes of the
people who were content to live I'M
der it.
Had the United States refused to
recognize governments because they
failed to conform to her ideas OF
what governments should be, she
would have had few friends during
the nineteenth century, because the
vast majority were either monarch
les or abSolutiSmS.

To Federal Judges

The gentlemen who have Seen singing hossnnas
clarifying Judge James H. Wilkerson as q fearless
fighter Of r~acketeers are left on a particularly pre-
carious limb by the promotion Of George E. @. john
son, federal district attorney in Chicago, to the
federal bench.
1t was johnson who decided originally that the
governments case against Al Capone was so shaky
because Of missing witnesses, that a plea of guilty,
with commentator for a short sentence, might
be the safest way of sending him to jail
With this decision, the attorney-general of the
United States, and the assistant secretary Of treasury
in charge of revenue, concurred. The plan was laid
before Judge Wlkerson, who found no fault with it.
Then Capone talked and Wilkerson grew angry.
Capone went to trial. johnson convicted him, wiki
erson sentenced him TO eleven years. And the attempt
began to convince the United States senate that
Wilkerson was such an outstanding foe Of racketeering
that to reject his nomination for the circuit court,
on account of his labor injunction and receivership
records, would be to strike a death blow at law and
order.
II Wilkerson is all his friends paint him, where
does that leave johnson when he comes before the
senate for confirmation? And if the senate con-
1siders Johnsons part in the Capone prosecution and
finds 1t praiseworthy, and in no sense a detriment
to law and order, where does that leave Wilkerson?
And what can be said Of the fact that the same
President has selected both these men for promo
ton, seeking to place johnson in the very position
Wilkerson is said to have filled so courageously?
AS a matter Of fact, johnson probably will have
little difficulty obtaining senate approval. Organized
labor, which has fought its enemy Wilkerson so
effectively, is friendly to johnson.
The issue Of law enforcement, which was Wilker-
sons last line of defense, probably will not be raised
in connection with Johnson's confirmation. But it is
hard to see how it can fail to rise up and confound
Wilkerson, when he comes up once more for consid-
Grafton.

Political Auctions

Political campaign chests still are untitled, though
the presidential race is well under way, and this
encourages a hope that perhaps money Will not be
the deciding factor in this years election.
1t is possible that because rich men are not so
rich this year, the candidates may not be indebted
at the end to a few overgenerous contributors, and
may not feel it necessary to dole out rewards in the
shape of tariff rates, ambassadorships, or other spe-
cial privileges.
There are, of course, many legitimate expenditures
in connection with all campaigns. If the national
committees did nothing more than print and dis
tribute their party platforms for the information
of voters, the cost would be heavy.
However, it is hard to see any justification for
campaigns costing $4,000 900, as cid those of 1928;
and the record of the past, showing that in every
campaign but one the man who spent the most
money was elected, leads to cynical speculation.
Even if the depression brings about temporary i'm
provement in campaign policies, if both parties stick
to their promise 10 spend no more than ~s1.50o,00o
each, and if they obtain these sums in modest con-
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-08-20

tributions from many voters rather than from a few,
the problem presented by presidential campaigns will
only be deferred, not solved.
1t will be necessary for us, at some time, to decide
what We will and will not stand for in the way of
campaign giving and campaign spending. 1t is al
most inevitable that the cost of elections, constantly
increasing in the past, again will mount when normal
times are restored.
We may decide that federal appropriations shall
be set aside for campaigns, to keep all candidates
free from promises and debts, or we may decide
simply to limit amounts of contributions and amounts
that may be spent in seeking Office.
But decide We must, if the presidency is to be freed
from the suspicion Of the auction block.
