Doctors Against Booze
[From the Kansas City Times.

80. 80 -'S NAss AhASs'J
The Medical Society, of Detroit, COM
posed of practically every physician of
good standing in that city, voted last
Monday in favor of prohibition. In eX-
planning to a reporter for the Detroit
Journal why the society did this, Dr.
Hugh Harrison said:
In the United states 500, 900 persons
die annually from alcohol. more than
are killed by wars. year in and year
out. But physicians don't need stalls
tics to show them the terrible evils of
alcohol and the saloon. We see it
every day. The awful crimes commit
ted against their children by men who
drink are too horrible to brood over
The moderate drinker is weakening
himself to an extent that his children
may be born without a fair physical
or mental chance in life. Such children
die at the first attack of disease"
There is large significance in this
vote of the Detroit doctors. The physi-
clan, OF all men, should know the evils
of alcohol

TIME establishing of military train
ing in the high schools of Kansas
- City, which the school board
promises shortly, will mark real ad-
vance in the school life of the city.
says the Kansas City Times. 1t will
furnish a new factor. not only in body
building for Kansas City's young men,
but in character forming as well.
Naturally, at first. there will be
parents who will shy from the idea of
their boy taking military training
carrying a gun, even il in drill, and
wearing the accouterments of a SOL
dier. The bogie that a militaristic
spirit will be planted in the minds of
young men will prevail with many-at
first. But both fear and opposition
will vanish with trial of the train
ing" idea. That has been the case
wherever military training has been
put in the schools.
Wyoming probably furnishes the
best example. Military training has
been given thorough test in the
schools of the entire state. 1t is the
Wyoming idea which has spread to
many Pacific coast cities and even
has been transplanted to the East.
Washington, ID. c., furnishes typical
example of how the system works in
city somewhere near the size of
Kansas City.
There was a strong opposition when
the military training course was put
in the schools of the nations capital.
Some parents were so worked up over
the thought of their boys undergoing
such a training they threatened to go
to court to stop the establishing of the
system.
But Washington has tried it. And
Washington to-day. including parents
who opposed the establishment of the
new plan, would make a mighty roar
TO Congress if anybody attempted to
interfere or even curtail the system as
it now exists. The great bulk of the

TECHNICAL SCHOOL FULL

TINE surprising fact has been de-
veloped by the Telegraph in the
course of its investigation into
high school conditions that the Tech
nical school. which most people i'm
agined was capable of housing all
possible applicants for the next half
dozen years at least, is operating at
little less than capacity. With one
room left in which to accommodate
the 500 freshmen who are expected to
enroll next spring. the Technical school
is facing the same conditions that pre-
vail at the Central High School.
The proposed loan will be used in
part to enlarge the Technical school
in order to accommodate all boys of
high school grade. Unless this money
is made available. not only the Central
High School, but the Technical High
School. must suffer.

SURE SIGNS FOR HUGHES
.HARLES EVANS HUGHES will

~ be the next President. II all
other auguries and tokens and
signs had utterly failed. the one sig
nificant happening of this week would
settle the business beyond the per-
adventure of doubt. In the Harris
burg Patriot, inspired organ of the
Wilson cause in this city. we find these
headlines: "A Big Corruption Fund,
Says Guffey." Move Negroes to Swell
G. o. P. Vote" "Gompers Calls Labor
to Wilson,"
In addition to these certain indi-
cations we find also that Iowa is going
for Wilson and that other sure Repub-
lican States will support the President.
This is all that was needed to assure
The election of Hughes and the alarm
of the Democratic bosses is SO mani

WILSON "KNOCK-OUTs"

WE have two chief objects" says
wv George B. Compton, chairman
and national campaign man
ager of the Hughes National College
League: ITO encourage college men to
do individual, practical work in con-
vincing voters and in getting them
actually to vote, and to expose COM
pletely the fallacy that President Will
son is supported by the educated men
of the country by giving the fullest
publicity to our work"
The contrast between the methods
of the campaigners of the two great
national parties is strongly marked.
The opportunism of President Wilson
is reflected in his campaign managers
and the play to the public for psyche
logical effect has too many earmarks
of the prestidigitator to be mistaken.
1t is said on good authority that the
Democrats are holding in reserve a
number of clever little coups which
at the eleventh hour. but only a few
believe they will create any furry.
The Hughes supporters, on the other
hand, are playing the straight, old
fashioned game of bucking the line,
and experience has proved that new
tangled ideas and impractical idealism
have no place in the constructive policy
of a nation like the United States Will
sons forward passes" and "onside
kicks" and fake formations" to use
the gridiron vernacular. must give way
to the Hughes center rushes" which
have the powerful interference" of
the right-thinking men of the country.
And the Princeton and Harvard and
Yale straw votes indicate pretty clearly
which way the wind is blowing.

HUGHES AND THE NEGRO

NNE cannot read the speeches of
~ Charles Evans Hughes since his
entrance upon the distinguished public
career which is to have its climax in
the White House without being i'm
pressed with the breadth of his vision,
the depth of his mental powers, the
wonderful facility of expression and
clearness of statement, and his grasp
and understanding of the many COM
plex and delicate problems of our ma
tional life. Since 1905, when he first
emerged into public view, the speeches
of the next President have been char
acterized by statesmanlike quality
which has given them a high place
among the great addresses OF the
country's leaders.
Speaking in the interest of the Tus-
kegee Institute in 1908 and emphasiz-
ing his interest in the black race, he
said:
The black man is entitled to his
chance. He is entitled to the ad-
VantageS of training and education.
He is entitled under the stimulus
of free institutions, to an opportu-
nifty to prove by his works what is
ton, according to his talent and
aptitude. to the sum of our produc-
tive labors and of our national life;
and he is entitled to the rewards
which his character and industry
may deserve. There is no color
line in good work, whether of hand
or brain. Good work, trained skill
and sterling integrity are the same,
irrespective of race, color or previ-
Gus condition of servitude.
He is a bold man,% said Mr.
Hughes, who would attempt to fore
cast the destiny of any people I"
We have reason for pride in what has
been accomplished. But we take lit
tie account of the past if we do not
constantly strive to widen the area of
opportunity and to do all in our power
to promote the development, raise
the standards and to increase the eff
cheney of those who have been denied
our own advantages"

Rockville Is Hard Hit.

Rockville, July 14.-Rockville was visited by one of the worst hail. wind and rain storms in years. Rain fell for two hours and lightning and thun- der were incessant. Several places in town were struck, buildings were un- rOOfed trees from one to two feet in diameter were torn up, many windows were broken all over the city by the hail, and hundreds of feet of curbing and sidewalks were washed out, while streets and parks were filtered with branches of trees and other wreckage. A 1OO-fOOt aagpOle in the central green was snapped in two. Telegraph and telephone wires were torn down by falling trees and trolley service was partially crippled.
 In some cases it was necessary to partially close factories, owing to the damage done by lightning and wind. In one instance a canal overf1owed and washed a large quantity of coal into a dye room of factory, doing consid- erable damage to stock there. The roof was torn from the White grain store and dropped on the railroad tracks some distance away. Consider able damage was done to tobacco and other crops. So far as reported, no one was injured

July 14.-Viscount Mersey, arbitrator in the case of the cargo of the American steamship Wilhelm1na' which was seized and placed in the nrize court on February II, 1915, has awarded f7S,4OO Approximately s3e2.oOO) to the w. L. Green Commits sion company of St. Louis, owners of the cargo. This virtually covers the entire amount claimed from the British government by the Green company. which asked for f86,161, while the British government offered cn1v f33,142 and 12 shillings as com nensation, Interest at the rate of ) per cent. also will be paid from Sep 1ember 13, 1915, to the date of pay ment of the award.
 The British government already has advanced f21, 200 (S106,0OO) on &C., count. The cargo consisted of food stuffs destined to Hamburg by her co,,sienors When the seizure occurred it was decided to make the cargo a test case as to the rights of Great Britain to stop foodstutfs pro- ceeding to Germany, but the issue Of the Order in Council of March II, 1915, made the question an academic one. and the case was settled by the government taking upon itself to compensate the claimants by paying for the cargo.
 Lord Mersey was selected as sole referee jointly by Walter H. Page, the American ambassador, and Foreign Secretary Grey. After investigation of the facts and consideration of the circumstances surrounding the case, Lord Mersey decided the demands of the American owners more nearly ap- preached a just estimate of the dam age caused, and made the award ac- cordingly.
