"A Wad Of chewing gam figures very
largely in the superstition of Col

Collins fumbles With the rim Of his

that he funbles With it again if two
strikes arc called, but they dont
know why. The reason is this:

moves the wad Of gum from his mouth

put the gum in his mouth. wheroupon
he removes the gum from the peak

"Well. Collins usually gets on base

ERS.-The Day Book asked for con-

would contribute, found it difficult to
conceive of any that would be at

tracted period, one of them exclaim-

These villifers with a 2x4 mind
would convey the impression that

would inform the allegers that there
is nothing American or ennobling
about criticisms of a religious order.
America threw open her gates as
an asylum to persons of all creeds

designates no meddlers to pervert

The Day Book, April 19.)-There is
no law possible that will change a
condition of slavery, unless the law
abolishes the condition that creates
slavery. The law that creates wage
slavery is the law that makes the
earth the private property of the few
and compels the many to bid against
each other for the opportunity to live
upon the earth. .t
They bid against each other for
the right to live upon the earth, by
offering to work cheaper than their
competitors, or by offering to pay
more for the privilege of using a pri-
vately-owned location, for the pur-
pose of carrying on some sort of bus
mess, or using the location for a
home. This competition for locations
begets the law of rent, which is the
price paid by the disinherited to the
earth owners for the privilege of Hv-
ing upon the earth and sharing in
the social advantages that come from
living in a civilized community.
AS population increases and ma
terial progress goes on rent increases,
and as rent is the distributor of
wealth, and no wealth can be made
until the consent of the landowner is
secured, there is a constant tendency
in all growing communities for rent,
the share of the land owners, to adj
vance and for wages, the share Of the
worker, to decrease. l.-r 81.
So we have the ever pressing con-
dition of the increase of poverty
among those who must work, and of
increasing wealth among those who
are able to monopolize opportunities
to work, which exist only upon land.
If Fruit Clerk will investigate the
conditions, which surround the en-
ployers of labor, he will find that
most employers are as much Cypress
ed by monopoly as are the laborers.

TWO HoRsE7HlEvEs CAPTURED
Grinnel Officers Take Men Wanted in
Iowa County

Grinnen, Aug 20.-The Grinnell po-
lice received telegram from the Belle
PLANE police to watch for a couple of
horse thieves who had stolen team
and buggy in that city yesterday and
were driving in the general direction of

the men back to Brooklyn on the 1:i5

The two men were both young. the

George CLAN. Botn men Carried re-

Especial Correspondence

Washington, Aug. 20.---Is the District
of Columbia going dry? Anxious in
auiries are beginning to be heard from
a large army that is fearful Of being
com PEELED to ride on the water wagon.
These inquiries get more and more
numerous as the time draws nearer for
congress to assemble The Indications
are that II the seat OF government does
not go dry the coming winter It will
come remarkably close to it This will
be one of the most interesting phases
of the liquor and anti-liquor fight in
congress in the regular session. fight
which will have several features.
A great effort will be made by the
anti-saloon lea que and its co-workers
to have an amendment for national
prohibition submitted to the states. a
tremendous movement for such an
amendment is organized However. it
takes two thirds vote to submit this
can be made dry by majority vote
of both houses.
Would Give More Prestige.
Quite apart from the struggle over
the national prohibition amendment
the anti-saloon league and other tenn
perance forces will seek to make the
district dry. They believe that II con-
gress should take such action 1t would
exert powerful influence on the
states which are closely divided They
also believe that IL congress made the
district dry It woulS be only a little
while until national prohibition
amendment was submitted. IN this,
they are probably correct
Washington IS by no means as much
given to beverages as II was In earlier
days. A big difference exists in the
conditions now and twenty-five years
ago. I. has not been so very long
since liquor was served in the cafes at
the capitol. Those were the days
when member OF congress irnhibed
much more freelv than they do now.
though 1t is needless TO say that II a
member in these days wants a drink
he doesn't have to travel a great dis
lance from the capitol to get it
Liquor at Dinner Parties.
At the same time, entertainments
and dinners galore are given here In
the course of the social season. at
which wines and liquors are served
and little is thought Of it. Grape juice
reigned at w J. Bryan's table when
ne was secretary Of state. but as a
rule it doesn't obtain at dinners among
the official 400 Prohibition in Wash
ineton would work a lot Of changes
in social customs Folks welded to
the old ways don't like the prospect
OF undergoing these changes.
OF course. any legislation enacted
will not prevent wines at dinners and
social affairs. 1t will not put we'll
stocked cellars out OF business. The
conviction is general here that It will
be only few years at most until the
national capital Is dry. If 1t Is not
made so the coming winter, it will not
| be postponed much longer.
