ALARMING DEMOCRATS
Are the Redistricting Cases
From Ohio And Butler.
Chances For Extra Session AS
sured if Republicans
Win.

AS the time approaches for the
Court of appeals to hear arguments
in the redistrictiDg cases the Dem
ocrats grow more apprehensiye and
the Republicans more confident.
Since the adjournment of the Leg
islature, almost a year ago. the Re
publicans have been continually ac-
tive, while it is only in the last few
days that the Democrats have be-
come interested. They were so sure
of their ground that they did not
take the time TO investigate, but
now they realize that the Republic
ans have far the best of the situation.
In the event that the Court of APP
peals uphods the decisions of Judge
Birkhead, of OwensbOro, and Judge
Galloway, of Bowling Green, in the
redistricting suits now pending, il is
said that Gov Beckham will call an
G ltra session of the General Assem-
bly,. This will be done for the os-
tensible purpose of having the State
redistricted according to the Consti-
tuition, and the rulings of the court,
but in reality to pass Legislation
that will give the Governor power
to enforcement the Sunday closing
law.
There is no doubt Of the fact that
the democrats are expecting an un-
favorable decision from the Court Of
Appeals. Prominent Democrtic At
torneys readily admit that the Re
publicans will be sustained, and that
all Of the redistrictjng legislation en-
acted since 1892 will be declared I'M
constitutional.
If the decision is against the Dem
ocrats it will be necessary. of course
to redistrict the state before the leg
islative elected is held next Novem-
Der. In calling the Legislature in
extraordinary session for the pur-
pose Of passing a redistrlcting bill it
would be easy enough for the Gov
ernor to incorporate in the calling
the attention of the members to the
need Of legislation to enforce the
Sunday law.
The redistricting cases were APP
pealed from Ohio Circuit Court and
Butler County Circuit Court several
weeks ago. They were taken up by
the court of appeals and were argued
for the Republicans by Judge W. H.
Holt and Judge George Du Relic.
No one appered for the Democrats
and the cases were submitted. Later
however, the cases were reassigne1
for the purpose of giving the demo
Gratis an opportunity to argue them.
Argument was set for January IS,
at which time both the Democrats
and Republicans will be represented
by counsel.
1t is p ossible that the decision of
the Court of Appeals viii be made
known in week or two after the
cases are submitted. Then, if the
bills are declared unconstitutional
and able lawyers say they are sure to
be-the Goveonor will call an extra
session. 1t is necessary that the
work be speedily done, and the Gov
ernor will not delay any longer than
possible.

A Public Benefactor.

An eastern contractor who is ac-
sused of laying an asphalt pavement
with top crust only one inch thick
instead of three inches, as the con-
tract provided for, explains the mat
ter by saying that it would be al
most impossible to tear up three
inch pavement. In view of the fact
that asphalt pavements seem to be
put down simply that they may be
torn up, the contractor has clearly
shown that he was endeavoring to
be a public benefactor. - Chicago

CIVIC FEDERATION.
Name by Which Alexandria County
ORGANIZATION is Designated.

Alexandria County Civic Federation is the
name of the central citizens association
which was permanently organized at the
meeting at Ballston Presbyterian Church
last night, The committee appointed by
President Gideon of the temporary organ

pare a constitution was a little slow, and

chosen to preside and G. H. Greathouse was
appointed secretary, Mr.. Lyon, as chair

account of personal differences with Charles
l. SimmS a member of the committee, said
he preferred that Mr.. SimmS should present
the report and that his own resignation as
a member be accepted, and 1t was so voted
The constitution presented by Mr.. Simms
was brief, and proved to be satisfactory.
The work of the association as proposed
was ito devise ways and means to pro-
mote the material and general welfare of
Alexandria county and vicinity. No name
for the organization was put i'll the report,
but that given in the foregoing was
adopted
The question whether the Falls Church
society. being in Fairfax county. Should be
eligible for membership which was dis
cussed at the last meeting, was left open.
H. A. Fellows of Falls Church said they
had no desire to push themselves where it
was inadvisab BILE and agreed that there was
good ground for limiting membership to
Alexandria county, and ii was voted that
only Alexandria county societies should
send delegates. a strong argument for this
was that of Dr. Young-that the Falls
Church society should be able to form a
Fairfax county organization to join with
the Alexandria county central federation
in any work proposed.
The representation of the local societies
was fixed at three delegates each who
should have one vote. The usual officers
and committees were provided for and the
time of meeting was set for the fourth
Tuesday in each month. The place and
hour of the meeting was left to the presi-
dent, with the purpose that the meetings
might be held with the local organizations
from time to time as seemed desirable
Dues were made 81 month for each local
society.
When the constitution had been adopted
by paragraphs and as a whole and the tenn
porary chairman and secretary made per-
manent officers James G, Pepper of Glen
Carlyn was chosen vice president and
Ralph Baldwin of Clarendon treasurer.
With a vote of thanks to the Ballston
Presbyterian Church for the use of its
house during the temporary organization
the federation adjourned to meet in Ross
lyn on June % at pm. One or two local
societies now in process of formation are
expected to send delegates to the next
meeting.

OBJECTS TO THE WORDING

At a meeting of the United States His

home of its president, Mr.. Harry A Col
man. 1888 Columbia road. the members
severely criticised the first line of the new
patriotic poem which has been officially
adopted, it is said. for use in the public
schools. The poem is entitled. The Flag
Goes BY. and its first stanZa is as follows
Blue and crimson and white it shines
Over the steel-tpped ordered lines
Our country's colors before us fly
Exception was taken to the word .'crm-
son. which appears in the opening line 1t
was declared that crimson plays no part in
the colors of the American republic but
that red plain, everyday reds the hue
that is meant by the poet.
President Colman said that while poetic
license permitted many stretches it should
not be permitted to distort the colors of
Old Glory. He added that the term,
Blue. crimson and white" would never be
permitted to usurp the place of the soul
born tri-cOlOr-''red white and blue
1t may be decided to enter a vigorous
protest with the school authorities against
the substitution of crimson for red in the
official poem.
