Boating in Washington.

The open air dinner TO which the
Potomac Boat Club. invites it's com
petitOTs. the Arundel Club, of Balti-
more, for tomorrow afternoon, and
the housing OF Potomac boats and
oars for the winter, suggest TO Wash
ingtOn that one Of its institutions en-
Joys a national eminence not realized
locally.
By winning the contest between
senior eight-oared shells on the Har-
lem a few weeks ago, the Potomac
Club earned first place among the am
ateur rowing organizations of the
whole country. IT may not keep that
position. In these days rivalry in
amateur sports is so keen that no club
can be secure in first place But the
P0tOmacs have shown their spirit and
proven their ability to represent the
National Capital with credit 10 Wash
ingtOn as well as to themselves.
Beyond the Georgetown wharves.
where the Pot0macs and their fellow
Oarsmen Of the Analostan and
Georgetown College clubs have their
quarters, the upper Potomac is one OF
the most picturesque waterways in
America. 1t is especially adapted, by
virtue Of shelter from rough winds
and freedom from incessant steam
traffic. for rowing contests. And it is
fine 20 think that this incentive for
81 -
sports is not lost 20 Washington.

Where Does the Sky Begin7

The striking title OF DR. GLADDEN. 8
new book Where Does the Sky 3egin?'
suggests the ObliJeratiOu OF unreal dis
tinctions and the union OF realms and
interests that have been unWisely di-
vided. The sky comes down 10 earth.
and so do many other things which
our thought puts far away.
The book IS a series OF discussions OF
the great themes OF the spirit, and its
purpose IS To bring them very close TO
the daily life OF man. IL sums up the
convictions and experiences Of the
authors active life more than any OF
his previous books have done.

NOSE ANDERSON TALKS.
Discusses the Coming Campaign With
Leading Democrats.

Guthrie o. T., April 1.-Mose Anderson,
OF Enid, chairman of the territorial Demo
cratic central committee. is in the city
today on business and talking with the
leading Democrats about the coming cam
paign.
Mr.. Anderson refuses to express any
choice of the numerous candidates for
the Democratic nomination, but he did
say that he tbbught if the Democrats
made a good choice in the selection of
candidate that he would have a pretty
good show of an election. The Demo
cratic leaders of the territory give Mr..
Anderson great credit for the good fight
he put up for Bill Cross and there is a
strong probability that he vii. again be
made chairman of the committee.
Speaking of the campaign two years
ago Mr. Anderson said that the Demo-
Gratis were handicapped because of the
small campaign fund at his disposal. He
said the Democrats had very few men
that they could assess for campaign pow
der, while the Republican central COM
mittee was always supplied with plenty
Of funds.
Mr.. Anderson admitted that the vote of
the Socialist party this year is an un-
known quantity, but he was under the
impression that the Democrats and the
Populists would line UP under the same
banner next fall

Prohibition Delegates from Oklahoma
Are Free Lances.

Stewart of Chicago, national chairman
of the Prohibition party, while here stat
ed that the following gentlemen are men
toned for the Prohibition nomination for
president at the indianapolis convention
on June %: A A Hopkins of New York,
S. c. Swallow of Harrisburg, Pa; A. G.
Wolfbarger of Lincoln, Neb, and +. I.
McWhimter of Indianapolis
The territorial convention here did not
endorse any candidate for president and
the Oklahoma delegates go uninstructed.
Stewart left today for Dallas. Tex, TO
attend the state Prohibition convention.
He says financially the party is in the
best condition in its history.
Regarding the candidacy of General
Nelson A. Miles, he says that unless
Miles joins the Prohibition party he will
not be nominated by the Prohibs nor ell
dorsed if he be nominated by the Dem
ocrats. None but Prohibitionist need
apply. He declares that Miles has never
yet affilited with that party.
Stewart believes that there are 300, G1
prohibition votes in the United States ana
that there as a million voters who at one
time or another have voted that ticket.
He believes the old parties are on the
verge of disruption and that the Prohibs
will gain the leadership.
