YALE's FALL CREW WORK
 HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
Forrl Displayed Better Than Any
 Other Former Fall Rowing.

The fall crew work at Yale this year has been of the most successful character under the care of Coaches Nickalls and Giannini, and both the University and Freshman squads made good progress. In order ato ob- tain uniformity Coach Nicwalls had at times taken charge of the fresh men while Coach Giannini devoted his attention to the university squads with excellent results, the form dis played by both squads being far and away in advance of any former dis play in fall rowing.
 It was the unanimous opinion of those who have watched Yale rowing for the last ten years that under the present regime thes future of Yale rowing would point to a standard as high as any ever attained at former periods.
 The fall regatta was held November 12 on the Quinnipiac river under the best weather conditions in years. The smooth rowing of practically all the

 All coaches who had much experi- ence know that it is only by close watching of their candidates through days of practice that they can deter mine who areebest for different posi- tions," Stagg wrote. ITO concede that 1t Is possible for any outsider to be able to do justice in the selection of an all star team, even after~seeing all the teams in action throughout the season, is preposterous.

DARED TO BE 4 DANIEL

Secretary of the Navy, Daniels,
has made a sweeping order ban.
ishing wine and other intoxica-
ting liquors from the navy. This
order has staggered the whisky
trust and has surprised the people
in general. Mr.. Daniels is a pro-
hibitionist who really believes in
prohibition and who is putting in
practice what he breaches. This
will pave the way for National
prohibition which is sure to come
later on. A sober nation is bet.
ter than a drunken nation.
The whisky trust should greatly
rejoice at this order for their
stock-in-trade argument has been
all the time that more liquor is
sold in prohibition places than in
wet towns. Therefore, they
should encourage and hasten the
day of complete prohibition.
The intelligent people of the
world will rejoice that secretary
Daniels has dared to be a Daniel.

KENTUCKY LOSES

In the first skirmish for region.
al banks Louisville and Cincinna-
ii lose. The State of Kentucky
is divided into two districts, all
of the eastern portion has been
assigned to Cleveland and all of
the western portion to St. Louis,
and thus is the State of Kentucky
cut in twain and its financial
forces divided and thrown to two
centers, in neither of which is
Kentucky scarcely known. There
is very little commercial inter
course between Kentucky and St.
Louis, and still less between Ken
lucky and Cleveland.
This is one of the most gigan-
tic political schemes that has
ever been let lose on a guileless
public. Under it the great State
of Kentucky becomes merely a
Whip-lash.

ing from the great body of the
people will effectually sweep him
and all of his followers from office
like chaff. The effect of his poll
cy has already been felt in the re-
cent elections in New Jersey
where his candidate for congress
was showed under by an over
whelming majority.
The ingenious and specious
plea of the President, in which
he is supported by Mr.. Bryan, to-
wit: that the Democratic platform
contained two planks which are
Numerically opposed to each
other, merely convicts them of
cheap demagogy; or, if they are
right, convicts a great Democratic
convention of duplicity, which du-
plicity was heartily endorsed and
approved by both Wilson and
Bryan, both at the time of its
adoption and for over "a year and
a day. thereafter. The country
will never accept such an excuse.
1t will never convict the great
convention land Wilson and Bry-
an as well) of either stupidity or
duplicity. It's platform meant
what it said. 1t declared un-
equivocally for free passage of
coastwise ships engaged in do
mestic commerce and on this
declaration the Democratic party
stood and waged its battle and
won.
The claim of Wilson and Bryan
that free passage" means Ship
subsidy" is the merest balderdash
Stop thrown to the ignorant to
incite their prejudices. Subsidy"
means bounty paid for encourage
ment. 1t would appear that they
overlook the fact that charging
our domestic ships for passage
through the canal, is simply plac-
ing tariff Tor tax on our domes-
tic commerce; in other words the
products of the pacific slope must
pay a "tax" in order to reach the
Atlantic Seaboard. But enough.
The position of the President and
Mr.. Bryan is utterly untenab1e.
We stand for Democracy, pure
and undefiled, for truth and JUS
tice, for keeping the, faith with
the people. The ditch is ours

joy-free from international in

DANGEROUS GROUNDS

A suit has been filed in the
Frankfort Circuit Court, the OBJ
ject of which is to compel the
State Board of Prison Commits
sioners to allow them pay for the
time intervening between June
1910, when the first law providing
for allowing prisoners portion
ofthe contract price of their la
Dor was passed, and August 1912,
when the Prison Commission
adopted the system of compensa-
ting the prisoners.
Why not allow them full pay
with a right to sue the State for
their conviction? Whyno make
it a crime to administer the Grim
inal laws in Kentucky?

AS Madison is not a local

THE CIVIL SERVICE

An exchange contains a long
editorial reviewing a letter writ
ten by Congressman Cantrill in
which he stated that he had made
an earnest effort, and is still max
ing an effort to get appointments
for Democrats, and charges that
Mr.. Cantrill believes the object of
the Democratic party is to get
offices and salaries for its own
members. This is the object of
all political parties. Otherwise
there is no necessity for their ex-
istence. Why fight out national
issues, state issues and local
issues at the polls if the men who
succeed are not permitted to put
into practice the principles for
which they stood? The great sys-
tenn of civil service was properly
named by Conkling when he call
ed it the "sniveP' service. 1t is
nothing but a cloak to keep in
office men who have succeeded
in knocking the plum. We are
strongly opposed to such policy,
and always have been. 1t is not
Democratic and is contrary to
the very genius of political insti-
tutionS.
Policies are carried out by peo-
pie who are in sympathy with
them; not by their opponents.
The welfare of the country Can
be looked after as well by mem
bers from a political party selected
by the merit system as they Car
by men taken indiscriminately
from all parties by the merit sys
tenn.
Surely if there is merit in the
merit system, it would work jus
as beautifully and efficiently Wher
applied strictly to one politica
| party.
Mr.. Cantrill is right, and if tn
other Congressman would take
cue and work as energetically t
: put on guard, men in full sympa
: thy with the policies of the Dem
: ocratic party, there would b
y more assurance of success in tn
4 next political encounter.
t We believe in party integrit
S and supremacy. One of the grea
S est farces of the age is requirin
S a head of a department of on
S political faith to conduct his d
e partment by men under him, owe

STEINER BROS. WILL
ERECT APARTMENTS
ON THE HIGHLANDS
Structure at Corner of 10th
Street and 18th Avenue
Will Cost About
$4,000

At cost of $4,000, it was announced
yesterday that Steiner Bros. would cause
to be erected an apartment house at the
corner of Twentieth street and Thirteenth
ay epue, south.
The firm, which has owned the plot for
several years, has had such an improve
prcnt in contemplation for some time. The
house Will be a three-story structure and
win be of concrete and brick, it is stated.
Il will face Twentieth street 100 feet
and will occupy 15o feet running west.
The site is a rather high point and is one
block from Terrace Court, which has
beer a popular apartment house for some
years.
Leo X. Steiner said yesterday that the
architects drawings in detail had not been
received yet, but that sketches had been
submitted, indicating what is to be done.
lie said the entire plot would be used in
the apartment house, and that in every
detail it would be one ef the most at
tractive as well as the most modern in
the south. Mr.. Steiner said he could not
tell at this time how many apartments
would be included in the building.
The house that has been standing on the
corner of Thirteenth avenue and Twen-
tieth street for some years is being torn
down at this time to make way for this
improvement which is the second large
proposition that has so far been an
nounced this year.

COUNTY MAY YET
CHOOSE PLURALITY
Hawkins Has Replied That
He Did Not Have Counties
in Mind When Voting

Although the resolution adopted by the
state democratic executive committee last
Wednesday provides that the majority
plan shall prevail not only in the election
of state officials, but district and county
officials as well, it is understood that the
Jefferson county executive committee at
its meeting Saturday will declare for a
plurality primary.
Since the passage of the resolution by
the state committee, much complaint f-om
the counties has reached Chairman Tyler
Gooddwyn. and he has wired members to
ascertain whether or not they understood
that when voting for the resolution they
voted to bind the county committees also.
James Hawkins, one of the jefferson
county members. has replied that when
voting he was unaware that he was maxi
ing provision for the counties as well as
the state. He expressed the opinion that
this matter should be left to the COM
mittees of the county.
The Jefferson coupnty committee
will convene Saturday. Robert n.
Bell, chairman, having been appointed
district attorney will resign. There may
be two candidates for the position he
will vacate. They are: Judge c. c. Ne
smith and Frank S. White. Opinion is
divided as to who will be successful. 1t
is a safe prediction. however. that the
date of the county primary will be fixed
for April 6, and that the plurality plan
will prevail.

the road. The negroes walked to Gate
City and notified Coroner Spain. who

day afternoon investigating but could
find no clue, either to the identity of
the woman or her murderers He will
return to the scene today to continue
his Investigations

There is no doubt but what it was

his return last night There was a rock
weighing at least 100 pounds resting Oh
the woman's head. One of her hands
was over her head pushing against the
boulder, The body was in a terrible
state of decomposition. l judge that it
