Sing Sing would he not have been
given q chance to practice 1t when re-
leased? Base ball Is the only field IA
which he has such q chance. He
should be given that chance along
with his freedom.
Base ball win not be smirched as
an institution of public entertainment
by the presence of this player on q
team in one Of the organized circuits.
The sport has survived worse con-
Examinations than this. Judge Kenesaw
Lands Is at the head Of the sport to-
day because of his services in Kidding
the game of men who betrayed their
clubs and the supporting public by
their venality. The country looks to
him to give a verdict that viii demon.
strate that the sport-which has be-
come one Of the major Industries Of
the country-is bigger than the mar
row prejudices of petty minds.
In the light of numerous cases OF
parole violation by men who have
failed to conform to the conditions Of
their releases from prison 1t is as
suredly in order to let this man prove
his good faith by engaging in the one
occupation for which he has become
qualified.

One.House Legislatures.

From the Tulsa tOkla.) World.
There are plans for reductions in
the size Of Legislatures in at least
20 States. In Is States there are
measures providing for unisameral
LEGISLATURES. Nebraska is the pioneer
in this respect, having already adopted
the Norris plan for one house: II
will become effective January q, 1897.
In other States there are active plans
for reducing the sine of the two
houses. The trend, according to the
American Legislators Association, Is
for at least so per cent reduction.
The unicameral bills usually provide
for Legislatures of from 30 to 50
members. Some States propose fairly
large salaries; others limit them 10
about the present rate-from "a to
$40 per day. In o Washington bill
the plan Is for twenty-four Legislators,
each Of whom is to be at the head
Of State department and to draw
$500 monthly salary. This is the old
council idea, somewhat different from
the original Federal idea of the Legis-l
lature as q separate branch Of gov
eminent. The tendency is to get away
from the New England town meeting
idea, which Is reflected in very large
Legislatures, and toward the council
principle.

parole yiolator and for assault and
bank robbery.
The ieniency In both Of these cases.
In the form OF suspended sentences
and paroles was altogether unwar-
ranted, as the record shows. These
men merited ns consideration. yet
they were turned loose time and again
to continue their criminal practices.
These cases point clearly to the
necessity of revision of the parole
laws and practices In the States and
the adoption Of q uniform standard
Of clemency in them. perhaps pat
termed after the effective Federal pa
role system, with surer safeguards
against the invocation of political in
fiuence and other pernicious factors IN
behalf Of confirmed lawhreskers. The
organization of q highly efficient and
incorruptible Federal agency of pur-
suit and capture will not solve the
problem Of crime In this country as
long az 1t is possible for hahitual law.

A Message to Shriners.

Elsewhere in today's Star the visit
ing Mobiles of the Shrine will find a
page of articles and other matter, re-
lating to a condition in the American
Capital of which most of them are
doubtless unaware. 1t is a matter Of
constant surprise to Washingtonians
to learn how few of their fellow Amer
leans know that citizens who live in
the District of Columbia are deprived
of the vote; that they have no repre-
sentation in the Congress which gov
erns them, although they pay high
municipal taxes, as many other
Americans do, In addition to the Fed
eral taxes that all Americans pay.
But If 1t is occasionally matter
of disappointment to find these things
are so little known outside the Capt.
tai City, it is more than gratifying
to have discovered from experience
that once the facts are made known
Washingtonians are almost immedi-
ateiy assured of sympathetic allies,
ready and willing to work with them
and for them in bringing about proper
remedy. That has been the case in
the past, as attested already by the
large number of substantial national
organizations now cooperating &C.
lively in the movement to give Wash
ingtonians, through constitutional
amendment, the American right Of
representation in Congress. participa-
ton in the national elections, and the
right to sue and to be sued in the
Federal courts-rights which are taken
for granted as the elemental priv
leges of citizenship.
The latest organization to take steps
IN this direction is the National
Federation of Women's Clubs, which
adopted without a dissenting vote at
its Detroit convention yesterday a
resolution to place the matter Of
national representation for the District
on the agenda of its studies for the
coming year. Those who have been
willing in the past to devote the time
necessary to fair consideration of the
issue on its merits have become pro-
ponents of national representation for
the District. Washingtonians have no
doubts of the result, once the question
and its full significance are understood
That is the spirit in which the mat
ter is brought to the attention Of
visiting Shriners, with the hope that
as individual Americans they will take
what part they may in Kidding from
America the last vestige of taxation
without representation; that they may
work with their fellow Americans who
live in Washington to give them the
rights and privileges which are the
birthright of every American.

Let Pitts Play Base Ball!

Is the national game to be tainted"
by the presence in the playing ranks
Of man who has served term in
prison? That question is now arous-
ing the base ball public of this coun-
try in the case of Edwin G. (Alabama)
Pitts, recently released from Sing Sing
after serving a term Of five years for
committing a hold-up and signed by
the Albany club Of the International
League as a player, on the strength
Of his skill developed during his So
journ In prison. The Executive Com
mittee of the league has ruled that
Pitts is undesirable. An appeal has
been taken TO Judge Kenesaw Lands,
supreme arbiter of the sport, who is
soon to render his decision.
The case of Pitts Is arousing much
feeling on the part Of the base ball
public and the promoters of the sport.
The man himself is qualified to play.
and but for his misfortune In having
fallen afoul of the law and paid the
penalty of i've years of detention
would be welcomed in the ranks. He
has takeE his punishment calamity
and is apparently cured Of his crin-
inal propensity. Yet he is to be denied
the privilege Of earning living In an
honorable pursuit because Of the. fact
that he seeks to step into the diamond
field straight from prison.
1t is the prevailing theory of legal
punishment for offenses that man
who leaves prison after serving his
term, whether at the expiration of his
sentence or on parole. shall be given
Q chance for redemption. There is no
reason to suspect that Pitts is not
purged of his criminal disposition.
There is, on the contrary, every reason
to believe that he intends to live cor
rectly. He has no better chance for
carrying on In good order than to do
the thing for which he is now best
qualified. which is 10 play base ball.
II he had learned q trade while Of
