A National Crisis

Richmond is prepared and awaiting as calm
ly as possible the most serious question now con-
fronting the American people, question which,
from the viewpoint Of the average American cit
izen, pales the Europeon crisis into insignifi-
canoe.
Who is going to win the worlds baseball
championships Philadelphia Athletics or the
Boston Braves?
In public places where thanking movements,
forced retreats and other unfamiliar military
tactics have had corner the conversation
market since the first of August, the sole SUBJ
ject for debate now hinges about the relative
merits of the two entries in the classic American
sporting event. These, debates are free-for-alls
and are participated in as eagerly by gray-beards
as by striplings
The sporting page has pushed the war news
from the limelight, while impatient politicians
are fervently praying that the "series" will be a
short one so that the public will get back to nor
NAL again and condescend to harken to their
assertions that the government is bound to 20
to the eternal bow-wows unless they are elected.
Perhaps if virulent baseball germs were to
be lnoculated into the warning peoples of Europe
after the settlement of the existing misunder-
standing they would never again have time to
resort to such brutal pastime as shooting each
other. If they had uncomfortable desire to
assault some there would always be- OF

Monday is Registration Day.

There will only be one registration day this
year. and that will be next Monday, and every
voter who has not registered on that day will not
be permitted to vote. Heretofore there have been
three days for the purpose of registration, but
this year the three political parties agreed among
themselves to have only one day on account of the
large amount of expense to the county.
The registration law provides that in case
any voter is unavoidably detained from register
ing he may procure an affidavit and sign it be-
fore two witnesses and have it filed with the reg
istration officers.
There are a number of important issues which
will be up at the coming election and it is the
duty of every voter to register next Monday.
For the first time the voters will have an
opportunity to vote direct for United States sena-
tor. The question of calling constitutional con-
vention will be voted on, and the voters will have
an opportunity to say whether or not the county
