in the first game was . man OF
mighty repute, one Of the best per-
formers in the sport. His prestige
might have affected the craftsmanship
of the home team, but it could hardly
account for the crumbling of the de-
fense on the part of the Detroit in
field, which Is rated as one OF the
best in either league. The easiest OF
plays were "bobbled." 1t was plainly
q case of too much tension.
In a short series such as that of
the world championship games the
losing of the first contest is serious
handicap. 1t is apt to set up an In
feriority complex that Is hard to
overcome, just as it gives the winner
momentum and confidence. And yet
there are numerous instances where
the loser of the first game has come
back to take the final decision. That
may be the case this year. Detroit
has reserved its lace" pitcher, while
ST. Louis has played its best card.
Perhaps yesterdays jitters will not
retsrn. There is, Furthermore, always
the possibility of a trifiing accident,
such as the pebble that detected
McNeely's hit in the final game of
the 1924 contest to give Washington
its first and thus far only world
championship.
1t is the combination of all these
things, luck, skill, temperament,
nerves, courage, sound Judgment and
good guessing that makes base ball so
fascinating a sport, and that draws
the millions to witness the games in
the course of the season. The game,
as it is played for public entertain
ment, is indeed an epitome of life.

The insult Jury.
Fourteen men have been chosen a,

Fourteen men have been chosen as
jurors In the trial of Samuel insult
and sixteen co-defenGants at Chicago.
Two of the fourteen are alternates,
selected to fill any vacancies that may
occur in the body of the jurors during
the trial. This precaution is taken
to prevent mistrial through the
illness or death of one of the twelve,
a contingency that is always possible
In any case, and especially so in a
trial so protracted as this one is
certain to be. It has been estimated
that fully six weeks will be required
for the hearing of testimony and the
delivery of arguments before the jury
finally retires to consider its verdict.
During that time the jurymen will
be kept isolated and allowed only to
communicate with their families, all
other persons being formally warned
against attempting to communicate
with them in any way. 1t was
formerly the practice in all cases,
particularly in those involving the
freedom or the lives OF defendants to
keep jurors together beyond the
reach of communication, but in latter
years this rule has been changed so
that even in murder cases in some
jurisdictions jurors have been allowed
to return to their homes daily. This
case will be particularly taxing upon
the fourteen men who will sit in
judgment upon the seventeen who are
accused Of fraud in the marketing of
the securities Of the corporations or
ganized and controlled by insult and
his associates. The testimony will
be of q technical character, COM
plicated, involved and dificult of
understanding. The jury is COM
prised Of four statesmen, one sales
manager, a garage manager, a farmer,
a grocer, a grain dealer, a bookbinder,
an emloye of a lumber company, an
engineer and two who are unemployed.
1t is thus a fairly representative cross
section of average persons. Probably
no one of the fourteen is a man of
large means or of extensive experience
in financial affairs. There will be
more lawyers than jurymen, even as
there are more defendants. No one
will envy these fourteen men the ex-
perience that lies before them.

dresses, perhaps their first kisses. No
career ever is completely empty Of
sunshine. The light may come only
in sudden momentary flashes, quick
to pass, but 1t does happen none the
less.
And the necessary thing, in the
judgment Of the philosopher, is that
people should keep their hearts re-
sponsive. Many, it seems obvious,
have missed much of the joy of living
simply by reason of tardiness in per-
ceiving their transient chances for
spiritual and esthetic experience. The

Dictatorship May Be Forward
Step Toward Real Democracy

majority Of their fellows. They do
not seem to comprehend that the
form of democratic government may
merely hide q ruthless dictatorship,
Just as the forms of England's i'm,
potent monarchy blind our eyes to the
democratic practices Of the actual
government.
Never before in the history of the
United States has public opinion ex-
pressed itself so freely, so variedly
and so effectively as in the last year
or two-not merely in the press, over
the radio, in multitudes of local
gatherings and In other customary
modes of publicity, but also in q
wholly unprecedented flood Of letters
that have poured into the White House
and other Government offices and
into private Offices of new leaders who
voice the thoughts, aspirations and
democratic ideals of the masses. This
unprecedented participation in shap-
ing the thought, purpose and destiny
of the Nation is q far more accurate
measure of real democracy than Is
represented by iS outward forms. No
government has ever been entirely
free from dictatorship. 1t must die
tate to the criminally minded. the
ignorant and the unduly selfish. When
extreme selfishness is combined with
great power any check on its activi-
ties is loudly denounced as dictator
ship"
It Is at least conceivable that a
Stain, q Mussolini or q Hitler may
represent that needed unifying power
by which human aspirations are trans
lated into deeds, which mean for
ward step toward our ideal democracy,
and that thus civilization Is saved
from anarchy and chaos.

Sound American Doctrine
.om the Topeka Daily Capital.

from the Topeka Daily Capital.
There has been no indication that
the President approves the opinions
expressed the other day by Assistant
Secretary of Commerce Dickinson, but
it was a speech that If it came from
the President himself would greatly
stimulate business confidence, now re-
ceded far from the courage, hope and
even optimism which the President at
the start of his administration sue
ceeded in instilling by his prompt &C
tions and speech. At that time he re-
ceived full credit for changing the psy-
chology of the Nation.
1T is still true, as in the age Of JEFF
ferson," the Assistant Secretary Of
Commerce declared in his Providence
speech, that the government is best
which governs least" He added that
"our national wealth is not gold mine
which can be tapped ceaselessly," and
that "the protection and maintenance
of the American standard of living de-
mand the restoration and maintenance
Of American business and industrial
life at a high level of activity"
These were somewhat strong words
at time when the level of private
activity Is low and that OF Government
high, beyond all precedent. But Mr..
Dickinson went on to say that there
is no occasion to indict business foE
the part it has palyed and is playing in
the recovery program. On the whole.
its cooperative effort has been of the
most effective character Great
businesses cannot fail without affect
ing financial institutions which hold
the assets of countless individuals,
Financial institutions cannot fail with
out causing the slowing down of busi-
ness and the increase of unemploy-
ment. Unemployment cannot increase
without decreasing the market for the
products of industry and thereby de-
creasing the return on the investment,
the value of property and the security
of savings. Wealth today is
essentially system Of activity which
must be maintained as q going concern
if the things which constitute a high
standard of living are to be available
to our people"

Jitters on the Ball Field,

Base ball players are highly tenn
peramental. Even the veterans of the
game occasionally have attacks of
nerves. Untoward happenings upset
them. Pitchers are especially subject
to disturbing reactions when their
support" goes awry. Fetiches abound
on the ball field and govern the rou-
tine Of performance Batters have
their peculiarities Of approach to the
plate, some refusing to pass in front
OF the umpire when taking their
places, others making it a practice to
walk between umpire and catcher.
There is no end to the oddments of
conduct. And all because of the ten
sion of competition, which RACES fierce
ly throughout the career of the most
seasoned player, no matter how often
he may be shifted from team to team
Yesterday the Detroit Tigers, tri-
umphant in brilliant season to win
the American League championship,
playing on their own field, before a
vast crowd of their partisans, had as
bad an attack Of nerves as any ball
team ever suffered in the history of
the sport. Despite the good pitching
of o veteran of world championship
experience they went all to pieces,
their infield crumbling during the first
four innings in bad attack of jitters.
Muffs, fumbles and bad throws nulli-
fed the good pitching and the opposi-
ton gained lead that caused the
injection of a pinch hitter for the
twirler and hence the substitution of
another pitcher who was pounded out
of the box in the following inning.
Thus the game was blown"

Germany Plays Lone Hand
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
It cannot be said that the refusal
of Germany to sign the security agree
ment known as the Eastern Locarno
pact is a surprise. All these recent
international rappr0chements nave
made the government at Berlin sus-
picious. With Russia in the League Oh
Nations, with France and Italy obvl-
ously bent on friendly relations, with
the prospect of amity among the Dan
ubian States, md with the Baltic
states cooperating in foreign policy,
the dreaded ensirclement becomes
more and more apparent.
In the note sent to Geneva the Ger
man case is argued not without CO.
gency. But the basic reason for stand
ing aloof may be found in q single
sentence. "A self-respecting nation.
the League is told, cannot be expected
to enter a special kind of political re-
lationship with other powers If they
at the same time treat it as a second
class nation"
Here, in another form, is the old
demand for equality of armament.
The fact that other states are mov-
ing to increase rather than to re-
duce armaments gives 1t q measure
of logical consistency. The agreement
provides that the states signing the
pact would jointly consult together
and lend immediate military assist
ance to any one that was attacked by
another.
This is not, in the opinion Of Berlin,
yE
to objections similar to those advanced
against any international boycott. The
difficulty is real, If not insuperable.
The German contention that war will
not be averted by preparing against
it will have no little support. But how
far would the bilatera1 accords recon-
mended in the note aid the cause OF
peace better than Q general guarantee?

Harvard Rebukes Hitlerism.

Short of an oficiaI rebuff by the
United States Government itself, it is
difficult to imagine more significant
rebuke of HitleriSm than the one
which Harvard University has Just
cept from the hands of one of its own
alumni, DR.. Ernst F. S. Hanfstaengl,
class Of 1909, an offer of a 81 900
German travelling scholarship. because
of the donors identification with the
Nazi regime. DR.. Hanfstaengl, who is
of partial American ancestry, is in
charge of Anglo American press rela-
tions at the Berlin foreign Office and
is an intimate comrade and lieutenant
of Hitler. He attended the twenty
fifth reunion of his Harvard class at
Cambridge last Summer.
In communication to DR.. Hanf-
Staengl, the Harvard corporation
states that the university Is unwilling
to accept gift from one who has
been so closely associated with the
leadership of a political party which
has inflicted damage on the univer-
sites Of Germany through measures
which have struck at principles we
believe to be fundamental to univer-
sites throughout the world"
There could be no more damnins
indictment, moderate in tone as it is,
of the Nazi attempt to crush freedom
of academic thought than this pro-
nouncement from Harvard. 1t is di-
rected at Hitlerism's program to regi-
ment culture under the Nazi code, to
subordinate scholarship to politics
and to enslave education and science
to the whims and needs of militarized
autocracy which the National Socialist
movement in Germany has come to
typify. 1t is a protest in particular
against the expulsion from the chairs
they have long adorned of numerous
men of educational eminence for no
other crime than the fact that they
either are Jews or individuals Of not
quite 100 per cent "Aryan" origin.
Many of these German professors now
comprise in this country the so-called
university in exile" victims of the
Nazi cult so devastatingly stigmatized
by Harvard's action. DR.. Einstein, the
author of relativity, is perhaps the
most conspicuous example of German
savants compelled to take up their
abodes outside of the Reich.
Americas oldest university has
struck a blow for university ideals
that is timely, truly representative of
the best American traditions, and one
which. if it is permitted to penetrate
the Goebbels- -Goering censorship, may
not be without effect in awakening
the German people to q realization Of
how Hitlerism is regarded abroad.
President Roosevelts alma mater
has many claims on the Nations es-
TEEN. Few Of them do Harvard
greater honor than the splendid stand
it has taken against the suppression
of intellectual conscience in Germany.
