I1ng carried on in the district court.

The county option law lorbids the
renewal OF a saloon license in any
county after tho county option cleo
ton, IL the county has gone dry. The
licenses OF all four of these saloon
keepers expired en- July >. The cleo
ton took place IN June 7. The sa-
lo~onkeepers were afraid that the
county would 60 dry. They knew they
could not get renewals OF their IL
censes after election day If the conn
ty went dry. So they decided TO get
new licenses before the election day.
These licenses were granted by the
council on June 3. The mayor re-
fused to sign them, but they we>
signed by he presiden of the coun-
ell. This gave the saloons two H.
censes each from June 3 to July 2.
The scheme of the saloonkecpers was
to have the new licenses under which
tn continue to operate after July 2
until the time came for the closing OF
all saoons, licenses or no license. on

day.

POOR sPoRTsMANsHIP

 The Northwestern Baseball League will not sur vive many such iots as was given 1t by the un- sporsmanliSe jealousy of Seattle exhibited by three of the league managers Seattle. which had got off to a bad start was making a splendid challenge for the pennant There was every prospect that would cap ture it. The Seattle team is easily the best in the league at the present time.
 The Spokane team has been the league leader for the greater part of the season The Seattle team which hung long in last place, finally got going It passed after another four which had led 1t all sea- son and finally reached second place, challenging the leader.
 When last week opened it had a long lead to over come Nevertheless, 1t took five games out of seven played with Spokane clearly establishing that it was the better team of the two There were two more games to be played in the series. If Seattle had won both of them. but half game would have separated from the top and from pennan cerainties because clearly apparent that at the rate it was going if i once reached the top 1t could never be headed
 At this stage of the proceedings three of the league managers got together and without notice to Seattle or the league president suddenly changed the schedule Spokane permitted to run out' of the two games scheduled with Seattle which its management felt cer series of games with the weakest team in the league. carried through there is fair ground for suspicion that the purpose was to give Spokane the pennant at any cost If that is the purpose, the thing remaining to accomplish it would be for the weak team to lay down Spokane and let 1t win. This would give the final finish the interest in the game in this city The best thing to be done is to call the over let Spokane have the pennant without the disgrace of winning u in this manner and look elsewhere for To- cation for the Seattle club next year.

~THE NEW FREEDOM
(Chicago Herald.)


 We are told that Elihu Roots speech in the New York Constitutional convention denouncing boss rule and advocating the short ballot and other means of keeping the government in the hands of the people Is greatest he made It is more than that; u one of the significant speeches that has been made in recent years-one of the most significant that could be made.
 Between the lines of Mr. Roots declaration against 'bosssm" we read the end of a political era. That speech measures the distance that this country has gone on the road from blind standpattism to a sound and progressive liberalism. Never again can the in- nuences which took away large part of the gov ernment from the people and coniided 1t to men "se- ected by no one accountable to no one bound by no oath of office" their ancient sway. Henceforth they belong to history.
 The declaration gains strength from the candor of the speaker MT. Root lived and worked with many of these bosses. he frankly they were his friends At the Chicago convention he appeared the side which was dominated by that type. But and ripe experience keen intelligence and a real sincerity have brought him to wise conclusion He sees clearly that system of invisible government the end of pop ular government and he speaks against it.
 During his career the president of the New York constitutional convention has been noted for devotion to the interests confded to his charge There no Senator who worked harder for his state There was no lawyer who woked harder for his clients. Now he has taken another client in charge-the people of the State of New York-and he is displaying in their be- half his we-known zeal and ability
 Eiihu Roots declaration again "boss rule" and in favor of the short ballot is political event of the first magnitude Wider in its significance than any party decaration-more encouraging than any votecatching partisan professional registers before all men the tre- mendous advance in political thought which has been accomplished and swes the forces of progress by the addition of one of the abest the nation has.
 And t means much in the game of practical politics within the Republican party especially II Ehu Root wins. as he seems likely to win his fight against "n- visible government" in the great State of New York means that the influences for which the Barnes and Penrose type stand will no longer dominate that party counsels in the nation.
 The Republican party's leading intellect today has repudated the sPenroC Cannon theory Of govern ment What may be termed the "ditching' of the PenroseCannon theory type of political lead ership awaited but sign and leader. Eihu Root has given the sign The people of ready to hear and to follow the leaders who make that sign their own. They are ready in New York they ready in Ili- nos; they are ready throughout the nation.

The Mining and Scientific Press calls attention to one of the probable of the that is receiving little attention It says that the war will greatly aug ment Che gold in circulation in the world. And re- suits thus far seem to justify the conclusion In France and Germany. particularly and also in Great Britain gold is pouring from the people who had hoarded it into the banks and being exchanged for paper money or war loans. Notwithstanding that France, Germany, and Great Britain have shipped out great deal of gold the records show that there is gold in sight now and working in those countries than there was before the war.
 Events indicate that while talk and war scares cause the hoarding of gold actual conditions have called it from it's hiding places. The talk of war and the recurring international crises for generations had caused people to store gold away in safe deposit boxes safes and old stockings until hundreds of millions had been lost to sight But the stress of war and the n- terest of the gold holders in It's eventualtes have brought forth to be placed the altar of this country or that.
