The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1915-07-29

There will always be causes for
alignment and realignment, though it
is possible that the most prolific
cause may be removed by this war.
The Crimean war was fought to
keep Russia out Of Constantinople.
Among the various objects of this
war, not the least important, is that
of undoing what was done in the Cri-
mea and putting Russia into Con-
3tantinople. For 400 years Turkey
has been the foreign substance in the
body of Europe. When it is finally
expelled, something will have been
done toward enabling Europe to com
pound it's differences without resort
ing to arms.

LET'S HAVE A CITY HALL.

This should be the slogan of every
tax-paying citizen of Johnson City
and it will be. If you are opposed
to it we most cordially invite you to
visit our present city hall and be-
come converted to the need of a new
one, and join the representative cit
liens who met last Thursday night
and demanded an election on this i'm
portant issue.
The present hall is menace to
the health of all who are forced to
go there, be 1t judge, lawyer or Grim
inal.
No city has brighter future than
we have and can accomplish more
than we can if we stand together in
the future as we have in the past.
Come now-all together for city
hail. Work for it, vote for it, and
we will have it before the winter
cuts us off.

Ex-Governor Malcolm R. Patter-
son made an able speech against the
saloon. His speech was one of the
ablest delivered at Atlantic City dur
ing that great convention, where
very many great orations were pro-
nounced. Mr. Patterson is brilliant
orator, a man of great intellectual
force. His diction is elegant, his ar
gument convincing, his logic is with
out sophistry, his philosophy is pro-
found his style is finished to the
highest point of classical elegance
his taste is delicate, his genius spark
ling like the stars in the belt of Orion.
Sobriety, temperance, has no ADLER
champion The saloon has no foe of
greater force on the rostrum. 1t
made me feel proud of old Tennessee
and of her noble spokesman at that
great convention, perhaps the great
est convention against the liquor traf-
fic that has ever assembled in the
world"

COLUMBIA CREW ON WATER
Varsity Has Long Row Along East
Shore of the Hudson.

Only one Columbia crew was on the
water yesterday afternoon. Rice
ordered only the irst varsity to report,
and inasmuch as only seven men ap-
peared for the second eight on
Wednesday II is probable that he will
disband that crew until work begins
on the machines In mldwinter. The
varsity eight had long row along the
east shore OF the Hudson. There were
no changes in the boating order.
Criticism OF Columbia's method Of
selecting men for its varsity and
freshman crews was made by "The
Spectator" the student daily paper,
yesterday morning IN an editorial
shedding what II called the true light
on the rowing situation. No sugges-
ton of better plan for getting caa-
Gidates out however. was offered.

John SANFORD
PAYSS25,oooF FOR
A TWO-YEAR-OLD
Buys George Smith After
Colt Works a Fast
Six Furlongs.

Laurel, Nd, Oct. 14-John Sanford,
Of Amsterdam, ". Y. owner of the
Hurricane Stud, bought the two-year-
old colt George Smith from Edward Nc
Bride for a sum said 10 be $4,000
here to-day. This is tho highest price
paid for a -year-old this year.
The deal for tie handsome son OF
Out Of Reach-Consuelo III was closed
after Preston Burch and Harry Hughes,

him work six furlongs In 1913 10 un-
der a pull. Mr. Sanford intends 70 re-
tire George Smith 10 the Hurricane
Stud when his racing days are over.

the season as one Of the best two-year-
olds of the year-and not without rea-
son. Starting early in the spring. he
beat the best of the youngsters that
came 20 the races in Maryland, and
then continued his campaign on the
Canadian tracks, reaching Saratoga
with a record Of seven victories IN as
many starts.
His first defeat, oddly enough, came
in the Sanford Memorial, when he met
with interference at the start and was
shufied back. Later he trained off and
was retired until the Havre de Grace
meeting. He was beaten In his two
starts there, but came back 10 his best
form and won as he pleased IN tho An:
napois Stakes on the second day OF
the meeting here.
Mr.. Sanford has been liberal pur-
chaser Of thoroughbreds this year. In
addition to importing number Of
horses from abroad, among them Tho
Curragh, he paid the top price FOR q
yearling at the Hsggin sale, giving
sl2,500 for a colt by Star Shoot
| Hamburg Belle.
About mid-season he bought Con-
suelo II, the dam Of George Smith, for
q fancy price. and shipped her 10 his
farm, near Amsterdam.
