Planning for the Fourth.

The work of preparing for civic
celebration of independence day has
been started by reorganization Of
the committee representing the three
leading business associations of
Washington. and tentative plans are
already under consideration These
annual observances of the national
birthday have heretofore proved most
enjoyable and have been helpful in
keeping the Fourth safe and sane"
There has always been a money
stringency, however, in the financing
Of these popular celebrations. Fire
works at night and pageantry cost
money, and the people must supply it.
In former times thousands of dollars
were spent by individuals in fire
works that endangered life and prop
erty. Now the law has prohibited
the promiscuous explosion of powder
on the Fourth as a means of checking
this useless slaughter. Washington
is infinitely better off for the change,
and it ought to pay the bill. which is
moderate one, cheerfully and
promptly. 1t is, of course, not abso-
lutely necessary that there should be
any civic observance of the Fourth,
but every instinct of an American
citizen impels him to participate in
some definite observance OF the ma
tions natal day. The contribution OF
few cents from each of the people
of Washington will yield fund of
such size that the civic celebration
of independence day will be a credit
to the capital and source of great
enjoyment to all the people.

Raiding the Gamblers.

The police are showing most COM
mendable activity in rounding up vio-
lators of the antigambling law. The
other day two raids netted a total of
seventy-three prisoners, ffty-two
from one establishment and twenty
one from another, the great majority
Of them being held merely as wit
nesses. These raids, along with the
joint work of the Department of JUS
tice and the police against the hand
book makers, will be effective in
demonstrating that the law is in force
in the District. Nothing is more
unwholesome than the spread of an
impression that statutes aimed at in
salutary practices are negligible and
that the authorities are willing to
countenance their violation. The
laws against gambling are usually of
this character, owing to the difficult
ties of enforcement. But recent
local happenings prove that they can
be enforced, and there should be no
remission in the present endeavor to
put an end to professional gaming of
all kinds at the capital.

upon the issue between the President
and Mr.. Bryan in respect to the
nature and probable effect OF the note

tior OF the text OF the note II is
unfortunate that the note and Mr.
BrXan's dissent from it could not have
been printed simultaneously Tomor
row the country will have the note
itself for careful and thoughtful con
sideration. Meanwhile the American
people will be incredulous that the
ilrmest insistencc upon American sea
rights involving the safety Of Amer
ican lives can be provocative OF war
and will believe with the Presiden,
that d rupture u relations with an
other nation which can be avoided
only by surrender Of these rights is
unavoidable.

The Prohibitionists.

The straightout prohibitionists Of
Kentucky a 5 distinguished from those
democrats and republicans who favor
statewide prohibition have just
taken a very interesting step which
may be copied next year by the
straightout prohibitionists OF the
country al large. This is the adop-
ton OF a platform and the nomina-
ton OF state ticket conditionally.
il either the democrats or the repub-
licans commit themselves formally in
state convention to statewide prohi-
bition. the straightouts will withdraw
their ticket and throw their strengt, Il
. TO the party thus acting. But if
neither OF the two old parties &c
clares for prohibition, then the
straightouts will run the race out, and
poll as many votes as possible for
their own ticket.
The primary election for the nam
ing of candidates will be held by the
two old parties in August. But on
Evening star., 1915-06-10

the 18th instant the republicans will
! meet in state convention to write a
platform, two months before the can
didates are named The democrats
will name their candidates before
writing their platform. So that it
will not be positively known for some
time yet whether there will be two Or
three tickets in the field in Kentucky
this year.
The probability is, however, that
there will be three tickets. Neither
the democratic nor the republican
party gives sign at present of yield
ing to the prohibitionists. Both arc
likely to stand on the county unit
law. now in operation in the state.
1t is of open declaration that the
prohibitionists will go before the
platform committees of the demo-
cratic and the republican national
conventions next year and ask for
the incorporation of prohibition
plank. Whether they will appear
there with a ticket and platform Of
their own has not yet been decided.
They may not, preferring to wait un-
til the old parties have shown their
hands.
But it is reasonably certain that
neither of the old parties will COM
nit itself to prohibition. and that the
straightout prohibitionists will again
have to stand up and be counted.
Heretofore there has been no majesty
in their numbers. Among them have
been earnest and some eminent men,
but they have cut no figure in the ma
tional equation.
Has the great increase OF prohibi-
ton sentiment throughout the coun-
try in the past few years told on
party loyalty? Will either democrats
or republicans in any force refuse TO
support the regular party ticket next
year in the absence of prohibition
pronouncement in the party plat
form?

Blaine and Bryan.

Naturally. there iS reference now
to the retirement OF Mr.. Blaine IRON
the Harrison cabinet but there IS no
that OF Mr.. Bryan.
So far as known. Mr.. Blaine and
his chief had not differed as to sin
gle public policy. foreign or domestic.
They had worked together III close
accord. Everything had been going
smoothly between them except IN the
matter OF patronage; and even IN
that matter-which relatively was
small-Mr. Blaine had little to COM
plain OF. Some OF the Maine repub-
licans thought he had been unduly
favored by the President
But within the party Gen. Harri-
son had many opponents who were
willing to go all lengths to defeat
him for denomination. Some COM
planned of one thing. some OF an
other Patronage. however, was at
the root OF nearly all the trouble !;
and Gen. Harrison had small patience
too small for man beset at such
time-with those in revolt. He
made few explanations, and would
enter into no negotiations for peace.
These men. lacking a leader of
presidential size, turned to Mr..
Blaine. and played in way on his
ambition and emotions. They repre-
sented to him that the party under
Gen. Harrison would go to certain
defeat; they declared that he, Blaine,
had nominated and elected Gen. Har-
rison; that his, Blaine's, prestige was
unimpaired, and that he alone could
insure the continuation in power of
the party.
Mr. Blaine was in poor health,
and, on that account. as many be-
lieved, the more easily influenced.
At any rate, he yielded, retired from
the cabinet. forced Gen. Harrison to
fight for Endorsement at the national
convention, and thus complicated for
his party a situation already dis
couraging and unpronlising.
There seems warrant for the as
sertion that Gen. Harrison was
doomed, and would have been de-
feated at the polls even if Mr.. Blaine
had resisted all overtures and re-
mained at his side The factionism
that had set up in the party was all
the more bitter because founded on
comparatively petty things. Personal
DISAPPOINTMENT yields but slowly
when at all to treatment Mr. Blaine
lived only until the following win
ter, but long enough to discover that
he had injured himself irreparably
by the course he had pursued.
The Bryan case, it is thus made
plain, is horse of another color
The difference between Mr.. Bryan
and his chief is not personal. and as
yet it is not alleged i'll any respon-
sible quarter that Mr. Bryan has any
thought OF opposing Mr.. Wilson for
denomination.

Recruits for the National Defense.

The movement for an adequate ma
tional defense is receiving indorse-
ment now from two quarters which
should carry it far. Educators at the
head of large institutions. and
churchmen occupying important pull
pits, are declaring themselves on the
subject in terms which are no less
than inspiring. and are great factor
in combating the contentious of
those extreme pacihcists who hold
that the present war will be the last,
and that the United States should at
once sound the note of complete dis
armament, and by action show the
way.

sailor asserts that the millennium is

Reversion.

In ages past, when man was not,
Strange monsters filled this starry
spot,
Which grew and whirled along in
space
To make for human kind a place.
Then fearful monsters OF the deep
Crawled to the Shiny shore to sleep,
And creatures huge, with horrid stare,
Found wings and hurtled through the
air.
Too horrible near man to stay
They weakened soon and died away.
That human kind might onward press
Toward honest peace and happiness.
But man with disconnected brain
Has brought the monsters back again,
Restoring with mysterious skill
The terrors Nature sought to kill.

And Airships high above US sweep,
And life becomes fearful dream
Where force insensate reigns SUI

make him ostensibly the leader of a

imposed an obligation of self-cen-

EARLIEST OF WoMENs CLUBS
The Puritan Fathers Banished the
Founder Of the First One In
the Year 1884.

Tracing the beginnings of wom-
ems clubs has given pleasant occu-
patton to research workers, and there
has been speculation ana discussion
as to which is tne Oldest club and
who was the pioneer clubwoman in
America. -. =.
Mrs. Philip N. Moore, writing in
the General Federation Magazine,
gives an interesting sketch in this
connection when she states: "Anne
Bradstreet, wife of the governor of
the Puritan colony, who came here
in 1884, instigated club that dis
cussed polemics and religious ques-
tions. The Puritan fathers disap-
proved and banished the founder"
In 1918 Hannah Adams started a
literary club in Boston. In 184S the
Ladies Physiological institute dis
cussed laws of life and health. Mrs.
Lucinda Stone, in 1852, originated
the Ladies Library association, in
which she remained interested for
fifty years. AS early as 1858 there
were Minerva clubs. But it was not
until 1868 that the New England
Women's club in Boston and Soro-
sis of New York were founded, and
these two have become the pillars of
the women's club movement in
America. Nine thousand clubs and
two million members are now the
membership figures given by the
General Federation for its affiliations
in all lands.

FRENCH WOMEN DO FARM WORK

Service at the front seems to in

The military authorities of France

ask the local authorities to send
back to the front all men who neg
lected the work for which they were
sent home. An employment bureau
organized to recruit farm help to
replace the men at the front sue
ceeded in placing only 5000 refu-
