NASH SUES THE
VOTERS LEAGUE
THINKS THEIR LATEST REPORT
LIBELED HIM.
The League Replies That Tt Is Prepared
for the Trial and Hopes It Will Be
Held So Nash May Have His ''Vindi-
cation' Before Election. 1T.

County Commissioner Michael W.
Nash today commenced two $4,000
damage suits for libel against John
Crosby as chairman, and William Y.
Committee of the Voters league.
These suits are based on the language
used in the report of the league, pub
lished Wednesday, sizing up the various
candidates for county commissioners.
In regard to Mr.. Nash, the report said:
A member of all combines and an active
party to all the extravaganza that has
characterized most Of the boards Of his
time Takes the larger part of the county
building patronage for his share Of the
spols Distinctly out of place in any
other official capacity than that of a job
hunter. The public interests have suf-
fered notably from his presence on the
board. Wholly out of place in modern
official body that wants to do public bust.
| the third district, who has any regard fol
the interests Of the taxpayers, can cas-
his vote for NJ. w. Nash.
This afternoon the officers Of tn.
| league prepared statement for publ
cation in regard to the Nash case, ant
also in regard to objections made b,
A. L. Lennon to criticisms made O.
himself as a candidate.
The statement Of the league is as fol
lows:
Touching the suit for libel brought b
Michael w. Nash against the officers 9
the Voters league, the Voters league
prepared to substantate any statement
made in it's report, and would be glad t
stipulate that the cases if possible, b
brought on for immediate trial. Doubt
less Mr.. Nash would be benefited by haV
ing his 'Vindication" before election, an
therefore will cooperate with the leagu
in pushing for an early trial.
AS for Mr.. Lennon, the executive CON
mittee does not propose to participate
joint debates, but would be glad to full

Finally, it is not thepolicy Of the leagr
to furnish specific charges in cOnnecttc

When the little boy was left an
orphan he went to live with relatives,
but became lonesome and thought he
would be happier on the road. He took
few clothes and what little money ne

at small towns along the way, where he
was always kindly treated and often
given a chance to earn little money.

DIVIDING THE MONEY.

The Philadelphia Record springs a new suggestion in connection with the appropriations for rivers and harbors. It argues that as the three States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Dela- ware contain about one-ninth of the total population of the United States the appropriations for the Delaware River, in which the three States are directly interested, should be not less than one-tenth of the entire amount set apart for river and harbor i'm provements.
 The Record thinks it possible that the appropriation may not exceed $20,000,- 900 at this session. and by its methods of division Delaware River and harbor would get s2.ooo.oo0 while all the rivers and harbors of Alabama would get less than half a million. We do not think such a suggestion as that will meet with much favor from those who believe in fairness and justice. We have no desire to underrate the import ance of the Delaware, but. in the Ian guage of the day, there are others" and those others are entitled to con- sideration, even though the population may not equal that of Pennsylvania. We doubt if Congress will adopt The Records plan of appropriating the fund.

IS THIS DISCRIMINATION

The President in his message prac- tically advises that Congress. acting as the Supreme Common Council of the District of Columbia and City of Washington shall enact a law estab- fishing the whipping-post for wife beaters in that city and District. This might be well, perhaps. even if it is going back to the dark ages, but does the President, who is Grand Keeper of the Great Key to the Door of Hope re- fleet that he would thus strike a blow at the colored man and brother? Of course he can say that such was not his intention, and of course Congress would not make a law which would punish the negro and let the white man escape. but the contemplated statute would practically have that effect when the effort would be made to execute it.
 Those who are best acquainted with the colored people, at least in this part of the world, and we presume it is so elsewhere, are aware that by far the majority of cases of wife-beating are among that race. There are excep- tions, of course, but they are so rare that it might be fairly assumed that law sending wife beaters to the whipping post would almost be a law to punish the. co1ored man exclusively. If that Is the treatment the President proposes for the negroes they will think he has lost the big key or has locked that door of hope and thrown the key away.
