HIGHEST Sets Made n All Leagues
During the Past Week

the selection: Jimmie Blouin defeated
every bowler whom he met in special
matches during the Chicago tournament;
Larry Sutton for the second time wins
the international championship: Glenn
Riddelis pinning featured in the special
matches of his team with Chicago auints:
Jimmie Smith makes a new world record
for the individual and nine-game events
in the Canadian championships. and
Harry krauss averages only 201 for the
nine games in the Paterson tournament,
after spending the greater part OF the
season rolling on duckpin teams in the
National Capital.
Not contented with claiming that WASH
ington as a whole possesses the greatest
duckpinners in the world. we are now go
ing to select a team that we cOnscien-
tiously believe can take the measure OF
any other picked team any other city can
produce. On this team we have placed
Lonnie Krauss. Sam Hawksworth.
Johnnie Eiker Jack Brosnan and Harry
Krauss. Just to give them a little prac-
tice, should any other quint wish to roll
them we would bring out Lefty Goodman,
skinny Carroll. Buck Harley. John
Baum and Joe Michaud.
Losing two games with a set total of
1646 is the richest thing that has hap
II ever a team has dropped big games.
that Palace aggregation sure is the one.
Just to get his knucl<le in for the COM
ing tournament, johnnie Eiker hammered
down a set of 1888. with the aid of a 40
game. Meany got away strong with 142,
but could only back it up with 1O7 and 81.
Finishing with a set of 1.625 after get
ting away with 4SS in the first game was
pulled off by the Casinos against the
Welsbachs. Their next two games
showed counts Of $50 and $50 A century
added on that first would have meant
another record.
Team work sure did trim the ResOlutes
in their set with the Runners for all
three games. Chiswell had high set for
the winners with 3D.. while Marshall
brought UP the rear with 301.
Not content with cleaning up about al
the prizes In the council circuit. Johnnie
Murphy has started out to repeat in the
new Southwest League. Somebody will
have an awful row to hoe il he expects
to beat him out.
1t is gratifying to see that the scores in
the Potomac Council are improving with
every week of bowling. The league was
started as an experiment, but it certainly
has developed. The boys should have a
fine league next season.
John Eiker, not satisfied with his 3t1
set to help trim the Palace, shoots all of
80 against the Bureaus. His scores
showed counts of 49, lao and 90 With
those first two games working with that
$50. we could have seen another record
by the board.

A PROGRAM FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.

The outline and forecast, published in The Sunday
Evening Times, of the platform on which the Ma
tonal Progressive Party will seek the votes and
confidence Of the country, deserves comparison with
other political announcements of this very much
mixed political season.
Plainly enough, the new party in its first declar-
alton of principles is going to live up to its promises
of platform broad enough for the whole nation to
stand upon, for all parties and all elements to find
things that meet their needs. There is purpose Of
practical service, running through the whole series
of proposals. that cannot fail to convince to the
sincerity of the movement, and sound a responsive
chord.
Take for example the declaration in favor of
adapting the German Raiffeisen system of rural
banking credits to this country Can it be questioned
that there is real need for such system, in view of
the fact that money can be borrowed, all over the
East at lower rate of interest, and equal to higher
proportion of value, city than on the best farm
property? Does not that tell something Of the rea-
son for congestion of population in the cities, the
movement away from the country, the increasing
cost of necessaries Of life?
Standpatsm has not learned of the systems OF
rural credit and cooperative banking that have done
so much to better the conditions of country life, to
improve rural economic conditions, in Germany
Italy, and Belgium Progressivism has; and there's
mighty difference between the two.
Standpatsm fouts the popular primary, the effor
to be rid of the bosses progresSivism makes these
things cardinal principles and would supplement
them with measures to prevent corrupt practices
Standpatsm knows not these things.
Progressvism unseats Lorimer. Standpatisn
protests against the procedure. Which will the
people prefer?

On the LIQUOR Traffic.
.itor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Permit me through your interesting

for expressing his sentiments before the
public regarding the demon rum. feel
confident his words will be read and
take root in the hearts of some men
whose homes are now made miserable
by the presence of liquor and they will
realize their mistake before It Is too
late. I am a young mother whose life
IL unbearable because I have each day
before me the sad picture : my little
ones looking up into the face Of their
father as he drinks glass after glass
before them. They can see and realize
the lack of affection-can hear the ter
rible oaths which come from his lips.
that turns our home into a place OF
torture.
What relief is there for the suffering
ones but the closing Of the saloon?
There are many good men whose views
are the same as A. NJ. BIS II they as
body would get together and hght
against the liquor traffic. They would
not only do away with the greatest
curse on earth, but they would bring

HANFoRD CASE SHOULD NOT DROP.

1t is inconceivable that, in view Of the sensa-
tona revelations which are understood to have
developed in the investigation Of Federal Judge
Hanford of Washington, that entire affair shall now
be allowed to drop. True Judge Hanford has re-
signed; resigned too under fire, and in circumstances
strongly suggestive that he recognized an inevitable
and most uncomfortable alternative If he did not
do so.
Perhaps all that could be accomplished in any
case has been effected so far as he is concerned,
through his resignation. He is off the bench and it
is quite impossible that he will ever be back on it.
But the inquiry has brought out details of alleged
fact, which indicate most scandalous condition in
the Hanford court. They leave the impression that
coterie of favored lawyers and interests, in that
jurisdiction, practically controlled the whole admin
stration of what no longer justice, and con-
troed it in behalf of whatever excesses they chose
dictate. The lootng Of estates, the wrecking Of
corporations, the most outrageous matreatment Of
litigants, are charged.
All these things should be investigated to the
bottom. 1t is charged that Judge Hanford resigned
in the hope Of putting an end to revelations that
would involve other people. The resignation ought
not to be allowed to have that effect If there has
been pollution of the stream of justice at its source,
if powerful business interests and influential attor
neys have made mockery and fraud Of the Fed
eral court if systematic perversion OF all the judicial
decences has been the common practice, then every
body who can be shown to have participated in this
reeking conspiracy should be traced out and punished
to the limit.
The House Judiciary Committee will not do its
full duty if it allows the to be discontinued here

Wants Some Form Of Protection For
Persons Riding Horseback in the
Evening.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
From a casual observation Of horse
back riding In the District of Columbia
at night time. 1t seems that some ordi-
nance might be placed upon such prac-
tices that would protect both the rider
and the faithful quadruped from immi-
nent danger.
The law T believe as promulgated,
requires owners or hirers of automobiles
and other vehicles to have a light at
tached thereto. Is 1t not fair to make
this same rule regarding horseback
riding at night time, since the horse
Worldwide recognized), has preceded
all other means of transportation in
faithfulness and safety.
Frequently one riding a horse Is meS
by an automobile or other vehicle and
barely makes his escape, due in part
to some careless chauffeur or to the
fact that the horseback rider is not re-
quired to have a signal With view
to remedying this evil 1t Is earnestly
suggested that some OF the more fair
minded public, or those practically en-
gagged therein. make an effort to adopt
some means by which the horse las said
with mere common sense). or instinct,
might be better protected.

JUST A TRIFLE EXAGGERATED.

An imaginative New York newspaper reports that
the powers of big finance have served notice Pres
dent Taft that the price of their support of the
Administration in the coming campaign, they must
have the head of Attorney General Wickersham.
No doubt. 1t is perfectly plain that they ought to
be disaffected Mr.. Wickersham busted" the To-
bacco trust effectively that its stocks have approx
imately doubled in value as direct result
Mr.. Wickersham dissolved" the Standard Oil
Company efficiently that it is now computed that
the stocks held by John D. Rockefeller alone now
worth about $79O0oO0O more than they were before

The tobacco and oil fnancers manifestly must
be highly incensed with Mr.. Wickersham. Think of
being compelled to spend all of ones time, during
such weather as we have been enduring, seeking
investments for such stacks and stacks of added
profits these oppressed magnates now COM

SLEEP AND POLITICS.

Candidate Wilson announces he is ready for
another strenuous round, having slept twelve hours
two consecutive nights.
1t is said that during the stormiest of the
Baltimore convention Mr.. Bryan insisted upon having
his seven hours sleep night and two catnaps a
day. and that that habit was what enabled him to
put it over the others, whose nerves frazzled
and senses dued by lack of sleep.
But then there is Taft who went to sleep immedi-
ately after Inauguration little three years ago.
and when he awoke the fellows who had remained
awake had put it over him.
So you can't always tell. After ALL it's pretty
safe say that it depends very much upon the

President Taft's 'colored following can

by the Rev. Corrothers and two OF
three other Washington negroes, and
every member of the league, and every
member of its delegation who called to

NOW, LISTEN!

Unless we very much mistake the temper of the
reactionares the wekin will soon be split by denun-
Citations of certain judiciary that will excel in its
vituperative qualities and exceed in its vituperative
quantities any criticism of the judicial system which
has yet been made by anyone.
The reason of this expectancy is the decision of
the Kansas supreme court against Dave Mulvane,
Steam Rollerite at the Chicago convention; his sue
cessor, Fred Stanley; and his two side partners,
United States Senator Curtis and Chester l. Long, in
their suit to have all Roosevelt in Kansas denied
the right of suffrage by enjoning every Roosevelt
candidate from having his name the Republican
primary ticket
The court held that the people rule, that both
Taft and Roosevelt candidates for electors should 60
on the Republican primary ticket, and the ones get
ting the most votes should consider themselves duly
authorized to cast Kansas vote in the Electoral
College.
This decision of court against the Bosses is
catacysmic Just sit tight keep quiet, and hear the
howl that will go up from the Tory press about
