There is a certain amount of argument in his favor—and one paramount argument made against him. It is unques- tionably true that it is healthier to play baseball than to watch it. If a certain nationality produces a magnificent pugilist, that does not prove that the nationality is pugilistically mag- magnificent. The negro nationality has done it in one pre-em- inent case, and in several minor cases; but in courage and physical prowess the negroes do not surpass all other men. If we produce a certain number of Cobbs and Bakers, that does not make us a race of baseball stars. We would probably develop a higher average of baseball talent if we watched the game less and played it more. But in all sport loving countries it is much the same way. A few of them play, and myrids of them watch—at all events, they join the ranks of spectators before the adolescent period is far behind them. But they might be doing worse things. Men of the mediocre type love to disagree. They will quarrel about almost anything. If two unknown wrestlers com- pete before a crowd, the spectators are soon divided into oppos- ing camps, excoriating one or other of the combatants whom they have never seen before. The two camps also excoriate each other. A baseball crowd ¢oes the same. They love to excoriate, and in a baseball park they can revel in antagonisms that hurt no one. They can indulge in a carnival of mutual vituperation about a subject of negligible importance. This is better than recrimination on questions of state- craft. Political economy is beyond the wits of the type of men that boils over in personal objurgation in a ballpark. If he fought about a national issue he would probably fight on the wrong side. e e PUT YOUR DIMMERS ON AND SAVE TROUBLE. When E. P. Lane was driving his jitney livery car and was blinded by the intenge glare of the headlights of a large car coming from the opposite direction, he turned from:the Ny- more-Bemidji pavement and crashed into a buggy occupied by a well known farmer and his good wife, with the result the wife was injured. This is not unusual, only accidents have been miraculously averted upon numerous times. There are drivers of high pow- ered cars with increased headlight power who haven’t enough brains to dent the intense blinding rays, and who seem to think in the dark while in the act of passing. They can’t do that in the Twin Cities nor any other well regulated city unless they have dimmers on their cars, and the man who is sane will use judgment in aproaching another on the road in putting on the dimmers for protection of approaching cars, that all concerned may play safe in not attempting to turn out into a ditch or sand with dire results. Mr. Lane was blinded by the glare when he struck the farmer’s rig. 0. Hugh J. Hughes, who is in charge of the marketing work of the department of agriculture, is making an investigation of some of the potato and other markets in the central and south- western states, to which much of the Minnesota produce is shipped. That the department may have exact knowledge, at first hand and by its own investigation; of marketing processes and conditions. —o0 Chairman Graham of the special committee on war ex- penditures of the house of congress, in a statement given out yesterday, charged that the government had a “secret govern- ment which functioned in disregard of law.” He referred to the advisory commission of the council of national defense. It is now up to the chairman to pry off the lid. —_—0 summer, he says he is through as a business. He is 22 years old and says he intends to take a law course. In other words, he intends to make a living in the legal profession of Minnesota and not as an exhibition aviator, although he may fly occasion- - ally as recreation. 0 Well, Bemidji makes good again. Members of the golf club defeated representatives of the St. Cloud club on Sunday. But there may be another story in the return play on the “home grounds” at St. Cloud. However, Bemidji has some players worthy of making some of the recognized stars of the state go some. —o The next time Harry Cole and E. Wingren stop to change a tire on the car in which they are passengers, chances are they will lift the car over a nearby fence into a field so as not to take any more chances with some fair sex driver knocking their car off the road and up on an embankment. 0o The Baptist Young People’s Union of America, in annual convention in St. Louis, passed a resolution urging the enforce- ment of the constitutional prohibition law. And they had the nerve to do it in St. Looie. —o0 i The report that ‘6,000 Russians in a Russian city were slain by Bolsheviks doesn’t add much encouragement for a wel- come in the United States. _— MNNENNAR N RN SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY PIONEER FU U HU UL T D L LU LU T T T T T T T LY it 'smart to cause others who possess good judgment to grope!
