CHEVY CHASE CLUB
ENJOYS FOX HUNT
Chase Led From Cabin
John Bridge, and Rey-
nard Wins.

One of the Eost enjoyable rides Of
the year WIS that by members of the
Chevy Chase Hunt Club when the
hounds were set upon the trail OF the
famous fox Whitehall yesterday.
The going was deep, but the day was
perfect when the start was made from
Cabin John bridge. The draw was
made. from the southern end of the
cover, and in twenty minutes the
hounds had Whitehall going. After ten
minutes he broke to the open. only TO
dUdble back again, throwing the hounds
completely at fault for some time Cur
ran, recasting his hounds, struck the
line q second time and once more
forced REWARD to the open, where he
took a straight line for one of his sew
cral refugees from trouble back of a
school house on the Conduit road.
However, by some mysterious maneu-
We. which has not yet been explained,
he put the hounds completely at fault
by repeatedly crossing a small creek.
Curran persisted until late in the after
noon, but the scent failed, and the
hounds were returned to the kennels at
o'clock

Georgetown Five Meets
Maryland Aggies Tonight

Whether the Georgetown basketball
team is in fit condition to play its
best against Virginia Friday night
should be determined tonight when II
meets Maryland Agricultural five at
the Arcade Rink
Captain Schlosser has had the team
practicing hard and faithfully each
day since the disastrous journey to
Annapolis and he is of the opinion
that both the Aggies tonight and the
Orange and Blue Friday night will
fall victims.
The AgEies are to be considered,
however, as their recent game with
the Washington and Lee quintet
which resulted 80 to % for the latter,
shows that they are well worth the
reckoning.

MAGNATES WIND UP
NEW YORK MEETING
Will Adopt Playing Schedule
and Adjourn Late
Today.

NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-The National
League club owners were scheduled to
wind up the adjourned annual meeting
at the Breslin late today with the adop-
ton of the schedule. That the mag
mates like Little Old New York" vas
shown by the fact that they dribbled
through yesterdays meeting just to
have an excuse for staying over an
other day.
The most interesting, If not the most
important thing so far accomplished, IS
the relegation Jof Bob Emslie, the dean
of umpires. to the rank of substitute,
which leaves Hank O'Day the veteran
of the staff.
The passing of Emslie occasioned
many expressions of regret, but all were
agreed that the dean had reached the
point where he needed field glasses to
see the corners of the plate.

Active at Benning.

Despite the alleged falling off in inter
est in horse racing, there is no lack Of
activity at the Benning track these days.
A trip through the plant yesterday
convinced me that the quality Of entries
at Pimlico and jamestown will compare
at least with the shOwings- of last year.
The rain has sufficiently softened the
going to make 1t possible for the train
ers to let their charges out, and as a re-
suit there is considerable breezing
along the track each morning and
afternoon.
If the. conditions at Benning may be
taken as a criterion all the horses here
a present should be prirned when the

Pay Unglaub well.

Judging by the reports coming from
Nebraska, Bob Unglaub, who has Just
been sold by the Nationals to Lincoln,
will be one Of the best-paid player-man-
ayers in the history of the Western
League.
Washington received $3.50 for Un-
glaub's release, but would never have
obtained his release had it not been for
the refusal of two clubs to allow
Dutch" Schaefer to go out Of the
American League. Lincoln wanted
Schaefer, and negotiations were practi-
cally completed, as. reported in The
Times at that time, but inability to OBJ
tain waivers made II necessary for the

Sporting Gossip
Every Knock Is a Boost"
No Virginia Carlisle game.

Last year when it was announced that
Virginia was to, play Carlisle here one
week before the Georgetown game,
there was considerable surprise that a
visiting friend should invade the field
here at such time. 1t was entirely an
unprecedented movement, and there
was some little indignation.
However, the facts in the case were
simply that, at the time the Indians Of
fered Virginia a date, football at
Georgetown was under the ban and
there was no assurance that it would be
restored. Under these conditions, Vir-
ginia decided to come here to play.
When Georgetown changed it's atti-
tude towards the sport, there was some
little regret that Virginia was to play
In this city SO close to the date that was
arranged with the Blue and Gray.
In view Of all Of this it is not sur
prising that there will be no Indian
Virginia contest in Washington when
the relations between Georgetown and
are so pleasant.

University Extension.

4 The vote taken on the matter Of
university extension in the senate at
Lincoln on Wednesday is susceptible
! of only one Interpretation. The au-
thor Of the resolution frankly &C
knowledged during the debate that IL
was not intended as a blow at the uni
lversity, but was aimed directly at
former superintendent Jasper L. Nc
Brien, who had been placed in charge
of the university extension work, and
was expanding the money appropriated
for the support of that work The
charges against McBrien are that his
activities we're not solely directed to
the effort Of arousing greater interest
in the cause of higher education, or
securing more popular support for Ne
braska's great university, but that he
devoted his energies chiefly to the ad-
vancement of partisan politics. The
charge is we'll supported by evidence.
Mr.. McBrien espoused the cause of a
faction and gave it his unremitting at
tention. He employed as speakers for
his bureau political workers whose
views were in harmony with his own
and the educational efforts of these
speakers were mainly devoted to the
PRONUNCIATION of their own particular
ideas on politics. AS a result the uni
versity extension work in Nebraska
became a scandal and the purpose for
which it was intended was forgotten
entirely in the resentment of the peo-
pie aroused by the narrow efforts OF
the superintendent and his assistants.
Nebraskans are proud of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska and are willing at all
times that it should have the most
liberal support, but they decidedly OBJ
iect to having political propaganda
carried on under the guise of "univer-
sity extension"

Advice Worth Needing.

John Temple Graves, the florid or
atOr-editor who watches things at the
capitol for Mr.. Hearst, gives the dem
ocrats bit of advice they might well
heed 1t is this: 1T Is we'll for those
who build great hopes on this demo-
cratic revival to caution moderation
in national economy. 1t is possible to
carry rstrenchment too far"
The democrats come into power in
the house for the first time in fifteen
years, piping the slogan of econ
omy." Already they are urging an
investigation of the republican admin
istTation to find leaks through which
vast sums OF money have needlessly
filtered. They are going to pinch
down so tightly on the strong box
that not one penny will get out that is
not absolutely needed for the purpose
OF running the government.
This is fine. The common people
demand economy. they need the
money. But there is a difference be-
tween economy and parsimony. 1t is
well for the watchdOgs Of the treas
ury to bear that in mind. It has been
long time since the democrats were
in power and it takes a lot more
money to run the government now
than ii did the last time they were
bossing the job. We are moving
ahead and do not want to falter or
stop our progress. AS Mr.. Graves
points out, moderation in retrench-
ment is necessary, Just as necessary
as it is in extension. Going to ex-
tremes in one direction is no better
than another. II would be a fatal err
ror to cut off appropriations that
ought TO be made
The democratic party's record in
office, though, warrants no fears OF
immoderate economy. The party has
frequently shouted economy az its
shibboleth. And that suggests an
other wise thought-how many pres
idential campaigns has il won on that
issue?

Effect Of the Lorimsr Case

What most concerns the country
now in the LOrimer case is It's inevita-
bic effect upon American politics. The
final revelation that 100000 was
contributed by special interests for
the election OF the Illinois senator
only makes more definite and en-
phasizes facts in general about which
most people had long ago made up
their minds IL probably will change
very few convictions II is none the
less important, though. as ultimate
proof.
Much as Lorimer's expulsion from
the senate might meet the demands
Of justice and popular sentiment, even
that is of little moment as compared
with the larger influence OF this OBJ
ject lesson. Few will attempt to say
that IL will not make for fair and
purer politics, few will deny that IL
will not tend to destroy the possibility
OF such elections in the future. espe-
cially in Illinois.
This Is a case where the power Of
publicity has accomplished wonderful
results. II has not, because OF GER
tain sinister majorities here and there
succeeded in gaining certain apparent
victories, but 1t will have achieved
victory in the long run which cannot
be measured or estimated by the
number OF votes cast in a jury room
or a senate chamber. Those who have
profited by this sort of eEeulpations
would be foolish to boast OF their
triumphs. The side that has been
defeated in these voting contests is
the side that has actually won. Il is

War that Benefits

Reports from railroad circles tell of
a war waging between four great
railroad systems for conquest in the
west. The Hill, Gould, Rock island
and Hartman systems have gone into
a contest of building and improving.
This is the sort of war the country
wants and will willingly encourage,
for, while it will bring its trophies to
those in command, it will likewise
benefit others-the country in gem
eral -.--
Undoubtedly the announcement by
the Hartman system that 1t had ap-
propriated $4,000, 900 for extern
sions to cover a period of five years
has influenced the action of the other
transcontinental lines. 1t naturally
would. So far as that is concerned,
however, the race for supremacy in
the west has been going on for years
and It was accentuated when the
Goulds dropped their new Western
Pacific out from the terminus of the
Denver & Rio Grande to the coast.
Then Hills determination to secure
an entrance into the Hartman do
main and HarFiman's counter of in
vading Hills territory became a vital
factor.
The newest development In the con-
test is the reported intention of the
Rock Island system to increase its
hold upon western business I'm the
south. 1t has been less aggressive in
reaching out than the others and that
1t has now decided upon a new policy
injects spirit and interest into the sit
uation. The country will be helped
with four transcontinental lines more
nearly equal in power and facilities
and there is business enough to jns-
tify them. But they will become ire
mendous factors in developing the
country and creating new business.
Indeed, 1t would seem unreasonable
to suppose that the railroads would
hesitate to embrace such opportuni-
ties as this era of expansion offers.
With these at hand, II is no time to
talk about retrenchment on account
OF liability to raise rates.

Can the Peerless Leader Lead Z


Mr.. Bryan controls the house or
ganization, so he is enabled to turn
his attention entirely to the senate,
where a few recalcitrants are still
kicking against the pricks. At the very
outset he demands to know whether
he is boss or not. His candor is ad-
mirable. If he is to continue as the

he cannot lead with the consent OF

his way, but he will never do for Mr..

A Justifiable Veto.

Governor Aldrich is justified in ve-
toing the so-called "non-partisan"
Judiciary bill. although some Of the
reasons he sets forth seem too far
fetched to deserve the importance
which the governor attaches to them.
Nebraska Ia in no immediate danger
of being made the sppanage OF my
special interest. and no one should
permit himself to be seriously wOr-
ried on this point. The plea for a
non-partisan judiciary has been made
by the democrats many times, and
always with the object OF securing
some partisan advantage It is
grstuitous affront to the intelligence
of the people to suggest that our
courts are swayed in their decisions
by any consideration Of party advan-
tage. Governor Aldrich forcibly calls
attention to this fact
Experience has proven that political
organizations are very necessary to
the continuance Of popular govern
ment. IT is all very we'll to pirate
about removing this, that or another
office from the influence OF partisan
politics. but no such effort has ever
been entirely successful. Men natur-
ally group themselves along common
lines of thought, and with a common
purpose I'm view unite to achieve its
object. With this community of
thought and purpose comes depend
ence upon the partisan endorsement
of the organization, and it is no dis
grace to any member of such a party
to rely upon its endorsement when
seeking official preference. In small
communities where each man knows
his neighbOr thoroughly it is possible
for one to be chosen to office regard
less of party affiliations but this rule
cannot be made to apply to a state
wide situation. To deprive a candi-
date of the advantages Of his party's
endorsement is just as unfair as it is
to accuse him in advance of being so
morally warped and intellectually
biased that he cannot fairly decide
questions without first considering in
what direction his partisan interest
tends. Far more danger resides IN
the possibility of incompetent and
immature judges reaching the bonch
through the voters ignorance of their
qualifications than will be found in
the partisan affiliations Of any that
may be chosen by prevailing methods.
