position of Bruce Ray, the present

BASEBALL AS A BUSINESS.
of contracts in the big leagues an.- 1
smaller ones, too, when the gov
ernment orders an investigation, as
now- seems possible.
Baseball lias become one of 'he
most stupenduous business enter
prises in the country and acting on
that score, tbe government is privi
leged to Investigate both its meth
ods and contracts. In Justice to the
players that would seem to be the
thing to do, but it may completely
disorganize baseball as we now
know it, it the present contracts are
changed.
It is asking too much to expect
Champ Clark to forget. That little

A three-year-old boy sat up in his
colfln while the funeral ceremony
was being read. His eighty-year-old
grandmother expired and the youth
died also a few minute* later.
The pica of Stringer, the boy who

the express company, was indeed a
pitiful one and Bhould be read by
young men to whom such tempta
tions are likely to produce a simi
lar effect. It was the same old
story of failure to withstand tie
desire for gold, while under the In
fluence of drink.
Some convict. Just out of the pen,

One Thomasville paper says a ne
gro was killed there recently by be
ing struck in the bend with a piece
of scantling in the hands of affother
negro. The other Thomasville pa-
| per says the man was killed by a
baseball bat. The papers agree that
(be negro wat hit in the head. Hero
we believe that they both were
wrong. Who ever heard of killing a
negro by hitting him In the bead
with a scantling or e baseball bat,
either. Meet here hit him in the
heel.—Waycrosi Herald.
Few people who are familiar with
tbe rules 'governing organized base
ball would deny tbat it is one
the most insistent trusts that this
country knows. In every sense of
tbe word It Dili the bill and does it
so conclusively and absolutely that
there Is no escape by one who haa
violated some of Its provisions.
A man la hired for what the club
wblcb possesses him wants to pay,
or he does not play in what Is term
ed "organized" baseball, and that
means any league of any class or
•landing. He must take the salary
which in many Instances la com
mensurate with his worth, but
whether It be or not, he has to take
It or seek other fields of endeavor.
This matter has been brough* to
tbe attention of Congress, because
of a recent tiff between Ty Cobb and
President .N'avln, of the Detroit
Club, to which ho belongs. Mr.
Cobb believed that he was worth
fifteen thousand dollars per year.
The Detroit club wasn’t willing to
pay that amount. The matter De
camp one of national interest, be
cause of the prominence of Cobb,
and the remarkab'e records which
he has made since entering tne
highest league in the country. The
contract was secured which he v.?
asked to sign and presented to Co\
areas, as one of the bits of evidence
which would convict organized base
ball of a violation of the Sbermau
anti-trust act.
Cobb was worth the fifteen thou
sand because he actually received
an offer of that amount for work in
another line of business, but that
offer was made not because of the
real worth of Ty himself In the
business, but because of the worth
which his baseball career has given
to him. The result was an agree
ment of some kind which gives Cobb
the right again to play on the De
troit team, with a salary which is
somewhat commensurate with his
demands.
The matter is not settled, how
ever and it is more than probable
tbat there will be a big shaking up

E TAX
IS MED
IS DESIGNED TO GET A PROPER
SHARE OF TAX MONEY FROM
THOSE WHO DO NOT PAY ANY
—MA8SES NOW PAYING IN
THE TARIFF.
Washington, April 26.—The pur
pose of the income tax is to reach
for taxation those who; have escaped
taxes and are tbe most able to bear
them, was the answer given by Re
presentatlve Hull, of Tennessee,
who is the author of tbe income tax
bill, to a suggestion that it is class
legislation.
His analysis of the income tax
'bill featured the general tariff de
bate today, and declared that the
masses of the people are paying
more than three hundred and twelve
million dollars in tariff taxes.
Mr. Hull said that the mutual In
surances companies, who have ad
dressed lots of letters to their poli
cy-holders concerning the tax, well
know that "it Is not our purpose to
tax the proceeds of these policies,
nor any amount of the principal in
vested In Insurance, but only the
gains and profits. This tax would
therefore not increase the prem
iums under any theory of their
dealing."

KENTUCKY WARDEN
DISPROVES OF FLOGGING
Atlanta, April 26.—J. G. Wells,
warden of the Kentucky State Re
formatory, who is in Atlanta today,
has given out an Interview strongly
opposing the flogging of either men
or women by prison authorities.
His Interview cams In connection
with the fact that a few Georgia
wardens and officials want to re
vive the custom of whipping women
prisoners.
"I .have novor flogged a prisoner,
man or woman, and I never shall,"
Mr. Wells Is quoted as declaring.
Mr.. Wells sharply criticised fea
tures of Georgia's penal system.
Commenting on the- fact that county
wardens and guards are chosen In
Georgia In many Instances solely
by friendship or political considera
tion, he said, "A mors destructive
system and more demoralizing
effective penology could hardly be
devised."
“If the state must have this
county convict camp system,'' h;
continued, "it should at least see
that its wardens are men picked tor
their broad experience along hu
man lints.
"No state should give such a
serious and complicated problem
over Into the hands of Incompetent,
Inexperienced, or brutal nru, scat
tered about the state."
Ninety per cent of the ten bil
lion dollars spent annually In the
United States for the necessities of
