The fight against the proposed saloon
which Michael !. Burke has been licensed
to open at the southwest corner Of SiNtie,h
street and Lansdowne avenue may be car
rcd to tho Superior Court
This was learned today from those who
are taking prominent part In the move
mcnt to prevent the establishment OF the
saloon. The question will he definitely de
cided tomorrow night at the 1nass.meetng
Of Hodd,ngton laNmeu In Calvin Presby'
teriau Church SlNtieth and Master streets.
The m3ssmeetiuE was decided upon To
show that the whole community and not
only the ministers were opposed to the
saloon.
A newly discovered deed OF the property
In question will be the basis Of the pro-
posed judicial action, This deed, u Us said.
prohibits the use ~ the building for any
business which may be Objectionable To the

to the saloon and contend, therefore. that

as a remedy against the saloon Invasion In
lladdinRtou, at the protest mnss-meetng
called by the Rev. pr e Edgar AdamSon

nue. to Burke
Tho letter. which was read from the
pulpit. was adopted unanimously In the
form of resolution u was predicted that
the whole OF West Philadelphia will unite
In an effort against the saloon invasion.
Doctor Adamson In hts letter picked to
pieces many OF the arguments OF the Judges
opinion and exposed many so-termed flaws
Doctor Adamsnn characterized the court :
reference to religious feeling as so ir-
revelant that had It been introduced by a
less august body than the honorable court.
there would have been inference that It
had been done either to cloud the issue or
for the purpose OF bidding for the support
and sympathy OF religious organization"

|. CAMPAIGN COMMENTS :.


Riducle of the Presidents note writ
ing extends beyond the Seas.
London Punch refers to him as "all
write"
Just to keep the party record
straight the Wilson administration is
preparing a bond issue.
The solidest asset of the Republican
party in this campaign is it's history OF
fifty years of administration of the
government, during which the prog
ress and development of the country
was without a parallel in the history
OF the world.
The Republican candidates for con-
gress received a clear majority two
years ago in California, Colorado, Con-
necticut, Delaware. Idaho. Illinois,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North
Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont,
Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin
and Wyoming. These twenty-six
states gave the Republican candidates
a clear majority over the Democratic
candidates OF 942.589 Notwithstanding
the Progressives polled 746,S41 votes.
These states give 2S6 votes in the cleo
toral college. or twenty votes more
than a majority. Because of Pro-
gressive division which has now dis
appeared, Indiana, Kansas, Maine. Ne
braska and Ohio, normally Republic
can, were carried by the Democrats.
These five states will this year add
siXty-three votes to the Republican
column.
How do the already overburdened
taxpayers like the payment out of the
federal treasury of 1886 cents per
day to Congressman Cantrill to man
age the Democratic campaign in Ken
lucky, and 1886 cents per day to State
Fire Marshall, Tom PANEL to play
secretary to Cantrills Committee?
In his Lawrenceburg speech Major
W. c. Owens made this whitening con-
trast between Republican and Demo-
cratic prosperity:
1--WE had a Republican prosperity; a
prosperity widely distributed, founded
on wise Republican policies. the best
thought of man applied to the develop
ment Of our wondrous natural energies

and resources. 1t found its legitimate
growth in the marvellous growth of a
nation, the upbuilding of countless
enterprises and industries and the
cheerful songs of happy and contented
working men.
We have a socalled Democratic pros
perity, river of gold flowing from out
of the hell of war, gold coined in the
mint of misery, baptised In the blood
of men and bAthed in the tears of wo-
men; gold gathered from the charnel
house of humanity, from the wasted
homes and broken hearts of Europe"
The program of the present Demo-
cratic State organization is said to be,
James for reelection, Cantrill for Gov
ernor. Stanley to succeed Beckham
and the brewers and distillers to f.
nance the deal.
Unable to answer Mr.. Hughes de-
structive criticism of the administra-
ton the national Democratic press bu-
reau has inspired country wide cam
paign of cheap ridicule, the effect Of
which is to make the Democratic press
ridiculous.
Mr.. Hughes merciless exposure of
the stupid blunders of the Wilson ad-
ministration is a concrete example Of
"pitiless publicity"
1t is reassuring to Kentucky Re-
publicans to see the Democrats put
Ollie James up on all their big speak
ing occasions: 1t furnishes them a
sort of yard stick to measure all the
other Democratic speakers by.
That Kenyon crack in his last years
slate is causing Governor Stanley a
great deal of worry.
To illustrate how the Democratic
party has fallen from grace since 1912
it is in order to mention some things
that do not appear in its platform OF
916.
Among these are:
No mention of single term for
president.
No declaration for free tolls through
the Panama Canal.
No denunciation of the principles
OF a protective tariff.
No promise to reduce the high cost
of living.
No promise to reduce needless Of
fee that are "sapping the substance
Of the people" nor is there any de-
claration that its promises are made
TO be kept when in Office. as well as to
be relied upon during the campaign.

CHILDREN'S KIDNEYS
No Maysyllle Mother Should Neglect

Oftentimes weak kidneys cause
great annoyance and embarrassment
to children. Inability to control the
kidney secretions, at night or while
at play, is attributed to carelssness
and too frequently child is punish
ed. Parents having children troubled
with kidney weakness would do well
to treat the kidneys with a tested and
proven kidney remedy. II there is
pain in the back, discolored urine, ir-
regular urination, headaches, dizzy
spells or a tired. WORKOUT feeling, try
Doan's Kidney Pills at once. This
remedy has been used in kidney trou-
bles for over so years and has been

Montana and Hughes-Montana en-
terprises and the cordiality of that

alike typifled by the action of the clti-
zens of Billings. The Billings Re-

charter a special train that all might
get to hear Gov. Hughes, and they
gave the candidate a truly rousing re-

The Portsmouth COnference-As
limitation is the sincerest form Of

hattered by President Wilson's selec-
ton of Portsmouth, N. H., as the
scene of the Mexican conference soon
to convene. OF course this not an oc-
casion of restoring peace between two
world powers, as It was when the
emissaries of Russia and Japan met
at Portsmouth. On the contrary, this
is an occasion of the United States
STOPPING to treat with the representa-
tives Of bandit whose followers have
ruthlessly killed American citizens
and despoiled their wives an duaugn-

Quoted under the guidance of Mr..
Roosevelt, but still it is an imitation.

The California SituatiOn-The Re-
publican managers refuse to be dis
turbed over alleged difficulties in Cali
fornia and one reason they do so is
that Rep. Curry, of the Third District,
writes them most encouragingly. Mr..
Curry says, "The situation is extreme
ly fortunate for Mr.. Hughes He con-
Quoted himself automatically and
properly in relation to the local diff
ferences, and to the satisfaction OF
all who honestly wish him and the
Republican party success. That he
will carry California by a large ma
jority there is absolutely no doubt.
The newspaper accounts Of his visit
have not been accurate. His recep-
ton was an ovation, most enthusiastic.
He was accorded the largest meetings
ever held in every section he visited
and had overflow meetings in every
city. The local fight is separate and
distinct from the national fight and
they cannot by any human ingenuity
be welded"

sERloUs-MINDED FOREIGNERS

SERloUS-MINDED FOREIGNERS
Emma Goldman says that all Euro
peans are serious-ninded. This I
believe to be largely true. But their
children in this land of the free are
as quick as a flash and can see a
joke as quick as any native Ameri-
can. In fact, the children of foreign
parents are native Americans. 1t is
observed that the Ehglishfnan laughs
about a week after a joke is sprung.
The German is very serious, but he
does pretty well considering that he
has to learn our language. Pat is
the exception. He not only catches
on quick, but he coins much of our
real wit. We cannot live without
him. The darby is another excep-
ton. His analysis is most amusing
and his hilarity is good tonic.
If there was more josh, jest and
drollery among foreigners there
would be less murder and fewer
fights. We should study the sales
man who always comes up smiling
and with either more nonsense or
another story. The average Yankee
is full of hot air and is about one
tenth serious.
There ought to be anti-serious
clubs among us everywhere. Every
body should try to coin something to
laugh at constantly. Let us all try.
Life should not be constant fu-,
neral.
Are not Forum writer's much too
serious to induce new readers to The
Day Book? One man told me he quit
The Day Book because nobody but
kickers wrote in it. Must tired la
borers read only the sad side of life
in The Forum? Can't we leave every
body feeling good? After a hot ag-
gument we ought to end up smiling
