the strike order should the railroads

ing five events. and including a tub race
The regatta was participated in by

by the latter by less than two feet. The
crew Of the winnig boat were c. ]. Muel-
Ter. 1; James Roberts. jr., 2; Charles

Those in the centipede were. II. Win

Fails to Secure Permit.
Mrs Myra McHenry, who calls herself
the kansas live WIRE" made an ineffec-
tual effort to get permission to speak
here this afternoon Mrs. McHenry left
Alexandria sadly disappointed over the
fact that the authorities refused permits
sion on the ground that it is a violation
of the police regulations to speak to pub
lie gatherings In the streets.
Mrs. McHenry first went to police head
quarters and saw Chief of Police c. I.
Goods. The latter referred her to Mayor
Fisher. The mayor informed her he could
make no exception to the rule. and de-
clned to grant her request Mrs Nc
Henry criticised the refusal to issue the
permit as an outrage. The theme which
she desired to expOund was equal suf-
frage and kindred topics.
Several years ago she appeared here
and made talks on the streets, but the
laws regarding public speaking were not
as rigid as they are now.

Apathy in Politics.

With the state campaign for the nomi-
nation of state officers only eighteen days
off there is a decided apathy In state
politics here. A primary will be held Au-
gust 5 next Probably never before has
such Indifference been shown as is appa-
rent in this campaign. 1t is thought it is
due to the hot weather Very few people
talk politics, and reports from various
other parts of the state are to the same
effect-that there is absolutely no enthu-
siasm.
Lewis H Machen of this city and Alex
ander j. Wedderburn of Fairfax, also
known here, are candidates against J.
Taylor Ellyson for lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Machen is now engaged in active

1T will readily be recognized that to
