St. Adams Track Squad
Printing for Big Meet
Quartet Of Athletes with
Squad Rank Among Best
In Scholastic Circles.
TO HAVE NOVICE RELAY

The track squad at St Adams Is
working out every day in order to Be
in the best Of condition for coming meets,
and no doubt by the time that Coach
Green. who Is handling the squad, Is
finished with conditioning the athletes the
team win be in the pink of condition.
Among the members OF this team are
Brewer. the greatest OF schooIboy run
ners In the country, who for the past
three years has been defeating the pre-
Tuier sprinters from the Eastern colleges,
and Maxam winner OF the dashes m
last years local iaterscholastic meet in
the local high schools
This is the third year in which Maxam
has taken part in the cinder-path events,
and as he has steadily improved under
the eyes OF Coach Green the runners IN
the indoor meets and the intersholastie
meet in the spring will have good reasons
for fearing this athlete.
Brewer IS starting his fifth year as a
track man in this section. and since
donninz the spiked shoes has developed
into the greatest runner of recent years
Both Of these lads formerly went 10
Western High. but as they wished a col
lege education went to the St Aloan' $
school to prepare for such work, and
since that time under Coach Green. nave
developed into two of the greatest
sprnters this section of the country mas
ever known
Wallace. said to be the strongest prep
school athlete in the country, is the per
son trusted with the weight events and
for the past two days has been out with
an injury. but no doubt will again start
traininS by the middle of the coming
week.
carter. the-niler, is at present out
playing basketball. but by the time OF
the Hopkins meet in Baltimore viii be
in the best Of condition. Carter Is be-
ing groomed for the mile and half-mile
events in every meet in the South At
lantic section this year and beyond doubt
will give more than good account or
himself .r ....r 49,.
Schorers. Hauser and Stubbs, all nov
ices OF the running game, are the quar-
ter-milers together with Maxam, who
will defend st. Adams hOnOrs In the
go run, and the first three will compose
the major part Of the relay should the
other schools of this section innsist on
novice relay team to represent Ca
thedral IN the Georgetown meet.
Pridmore, who Is celebrating his first
year-on the paths, is the last men of the
squad, but considering the fact that on
the first day out clipped the hundred in
ten. one, under the direction of Green,
should develop into the equal Of Brewer
Practically the entire squad will enter
the events held at Philadelphia tlts year
under the auspices of the MeadowbrOoS
A. c. The best thing of the squad is
the relay composed Of Brewer. MaXan.,
and Carter and a fourth man to be
selected from the rest OF the men. Thesa
three mentioned can easily do the quar-
ter In ifty-three seconds and with Wal
lace. Pridmore, Hauser. Stubbs and
Schorsr to choose the fourth man should
have easy time in breaking the tape with
any Of the present scholastic relay
teams.

THRUST AT ORGANIZED LABOR

Senator Sherman of Illinois, a Re-
publican of TIE reactionary special
privilege order, in the course of some
remarks in the Senate the other day,
as sort Of diversion from the sub
ject in hand, took occasion to lam
bast Samuel Gompers, well-known la
Dor leader, saying that ne was "a
public nuisance" and much more of
similar nature. Aftcr finishing his
fling, he remarked with satisfied air,
"I've been owing that to Gompcis for
some time" Doubtless his vindictive
vituperation finds echo in the minds
of that class that has reaped rich re-
wards from special privileges voted
it by Republican Statesmen in the day
Of their dominancy and which has con-
sistently fought organized labor, but
how is it with the workingmen of the
country?
Mr.. Gompers is and has been for
many years President Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and is a
leader of no mean ability, though in
making his way up from an ordinary
laborer to his present prominence he
may have made many mistakes, but
in that he is not unlike the large ma
jority Of mankind. One thing Mr..
Gompers knows, that he was never
able to secure any favorable legisla-
ton for labor from men like s Mr..
Sherman and the party of which he
is spokesman. But not so when, as
leader of organized labor, he turned
to the present Democratic admins
tration and asked for legislation
against child labor, for shorter work.
ing days and for workmen's compen-
sation. His demands were reasonable
and just and Democratic Congress-
end President gave what he asked Of
them.
Senator Sherman MAY go out Of
his way to call him a public nuisance
and other names, but what. has organ
lied labor to say of it. Will it vote to
restore the party whose leaders de.
nounce its leaders as public nui-
sances, or to sustain the party whose
President and Congress have given it
the wholesome labor legislation asked
for through Mr.. Gompers.

and tour the counties to re-elect Pres
ident Wilson and help make Gardner
the successor to Governor Major.
"The coming campaign will be
waged on strictly party lines. The
liquor question will not be injected in
to the fight. Missouri is Democratic
State. With the wet and dry contro-
versy entirely eliminated, it assures
a victory for the entire Democratic
State ticket.
81 want to see President Wilson
honored with a tremendous majority
in Missouri, so that the electoral vote
of this State will be cast as credit
to the Democrats of Missouri. 1t is
my same wish to see my friend Fred
Gardner win by margin so large as
to convince the voters of the United
States that Missouri is not a doubtful
State"

No man, perhaps, is better known
throughout the country than Ben B.
Lindsey, the Juvenile Reform Judge
of Denver. He has been lifelong
Republican, but he possessed the ele-
ments of aggressive honesty, the milk
of human kindness and a deep con-
Germ for unfortunate boys and girls
that were brought before his court.
In this reform he has made 2 nation
al reputation. He was a personal
friend Of Colonel Roosevelt, but now he
is going to take the stump throughout
the East for President Wilson. It
seems that al the big men of the Pro
gressige party except Roosevelt and
Perkins are for Wilson; the Novem-
Der election will tell how the betrayed
rank and file OF that party stand.

JUDGE NORToNI FOR WILSON

Judge Albert d. Nortoni Of the st.
Louis Court of Appeals has resigned
his place on the bench of that court to
enter actively into the campaign for
President Wilson. Judge Nortoni was
for many years leading partisan
Republican, but in 1912 he joined the
Progressive revolt, and this year was
chosen as the Progressive candidate
fer United States Senator. After the
Chicago convention he refused TO re-
turn to the Republican party at the
behest of Roosevelt, ard announced
his intention of supporting Mr.. VIII
son. Last week he resigned his posi-
ton as Judge Of the st. Louis Court
of Appeals in order to devote his time
to the campaign. He says he has
been considering such step for some
time but made up his mind only a
few days before sending in his res
ignation to Governor Major. He has
been appointed to the Associate Cam
paign Committee that will cooperate
with the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Judge Nortoni went to Washington
City this week to talk with the Pres
ident on matters relative to the cam
baign and says he expects to take an
active part. 81 expect to work in
connection with headquarters in the
East" he says, "and do not know at
this time just what my duties will be,
| do not know whether ] win be as
signed to organizing or campaign
work in Missouri
Il am perfectly willing" says the
Judge, @to serve in the new duties.

son was instrumental in bringing
about legislation that embodies prin-
ciples ef the Progressive party.

eve Progressives on the committee
will work to influence the vote Of Pro-
gressives who are not reconciled to
the Republican party and still are
faithful to the spirit and purpose Of
their party. They refuse to be deliv-
cred by anybody to anybody.
GAS between Hughes and Wilson
there is only one man for the Pro-
gressives to choose, and that is Will
son. There is large element of the
Progressive strength in Missouri, who
without a presidential candidate now
to vote for, will support Wilson. At
ter this falls election the Progressive
party proposes to reorganize as par
ty as it was before the last Chicago
convention
Judge Nortoni has long been recog-
nized by men of all parties as man
of eminent ability, honest conviction
and unselfish purpose, and his popu-
larity among Progressives, especial
ly those who do not relish the man
ner in which they were betrayed and
Inundated by the Roosevelt Perkins
conspiracy, will have a decisive eff
feet in helping them to make up their
minds to vote for Wilson, who, as
Judge Nortoni says, "was instrument
tai in bringing about legislation that
embodies principles of the Progress
sive party"

"DRY" LEADER FOR GARDNER

Charles M. Hay of St. Louis, a
former Southeast Missouri boy, and
one of the foremost "dry" leaders of
the State, will enter actively into the
campaign for Colonel Gardner and the
balance of the Democratic State tick
ct. Mr.. Hay removed to Galloway
county and represented that county
in the Legislature. He was one of the
most active and influential members
of the House and was leader in
temperance legislation, but for sew
eral years has been practicing law in
st. Louis. He says the Democratic
party did not make any mistake in
nominating Colonel Gardner, although
he supported Mr.. Atkins for Governor.
Mr.. Hay says:
Colonel Gardner is a man of dis
tinct personality, is fearless, has been
successful business man, and has the
esteem and respect of the voters Of
Missouri. His popularity was evil
denced by his vote at the primaries.
1t is true supported Mr.. Atkinson,
but there viii be no man in this State
who will give our nominee for Govern
or more hearty support than I.

Mr.. Hughes, it is said, as he gets
to the extrsme West, is putting aside
his accustomed reserve and dignity
and trying to get down to the common
level of the people Of that section as
he conceives tito be, by sort of pat
ronizing air and using Western
phrases in hiaa sReeches, as much as
to say, Boys Hook at me, Pm one of
you" But bless his innocent heart,
does he imagine those Western peo
pie don't know q tftender-foot" when
they see him andiknow how to take
his measure? That sort of stopping
to conquer doesn't go out there. Your

liarly exclusive class himself, and

MEANING OF WAR WITH MEXICO

President Wilson might have pur-
sued policy toward Mexico that
would have precipitated war with
that disrupted and unhappy country
He might have done this on the pre-
text of any one of the many outrages
that have been committed against
American residents of Mexico by ir-
responsible revolutionary bands and
bandits, or the Villa raid on Columbus;
but the most favorable impression
that could be placed upon such a pol
icy is, that it would have been an act
of revenge rather than one to correct
the diseased condition of our unfor-
tunate neighbor.
There was and is no adequate gov
eminent there to which to appeal or
which could redress the wrongs per-
petrated, but the people, whether ad-
herents of quasi, usurping govern
ment or those opposing it, are Jealous
of what they are pleased to call the
Sovereignty" of their nation, and
any armed Intervention ON the part of
the United States or any other nation
especially of the United States
whose most friendly advances are dis
trusted by Mexicans of all classes-to
try to restore order, would arouse the
various revolutionary factions in al
common cause against the invaders.
They are crazed and blinded both with
revolutionary mania and jealous hat
red of any outside interference with
their internicene and anarchistic strife.
Of course a great and powerful ma
ton like the United States could
avenge itself of the wrongs perpetrat-
ed upon American residents of Mex
leo by entering upon a campaign of
slaughter, but it would in no sense be
q defense of the honor and dignity Of
our nation, nor a reparation of the
wrongs-only an act of revenge. And
to accomplish this, the lives of thou
sands of the flower of our youth
would be sacrificed in carrying out our
retaliatory measure. Even if revenge
were sweet, such revenge would entail
a bitterness of loss and grief, 'Rachel
mourning for her children because
they are not" in countless American
homes beyond compute.
But would this pacify Mexico and
bring order out Of chaos? Evidently
it would not. Subjugate it we might,
but it would take an army of occupa-
ton of many thousands to keep its
100000 people, with their canker-
ing hate and distrt1st, in ,subjection.
The next half century would not see
the end, and all that time everything
for which our government stands, ev-
cry element of freedom which it as
sumes to champion and with which it
prides itself, would be violated and
discredited the world over. Instead
of spirit of national freedom and
an example of self-government to the
world, a spirit Of aggression, con-
quest and Imperialism would be en-
couraged. The sentiment of govern
ment of, for and by the people would
pass away as tale that is told.
Would that be defending and main
tanning the honor, the dignity and, the
respect of this great American nation
and those principles for which it alone
of all the nations of the world stands
Is not President Wilson's policy of
"watchful waiting, patience and hui
worth while?
