Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Restriction or Prohibition? ?

The local option amendment prom ises the return of the saloon with cer- tain restrictions about the number of saloons, time for staying open. prohi- bition on sales to minors, habitual drunkards. etc.
 The proposed prohibition amend ment offers effective prohibition. IL is short. concise and meets all objec- tions.
 Having without avail spent the best years of my life trying to lead saloon- keepers into paths of decency. | shall now spend years seeking to drive them from the pathway of American life Long ago l told them: You must take the liquor business out of politics and the law breaker out of the liquor bus mess You must not construe a license to sell liquor into a privilege to vi- olate the law They listened; they agreed; they promised; but after each election their agreement faded from memory and their promises were broken"
 Which do you want-restriction un- der local option or real prohibition?

"Weasel Wordsn

No one knows President Wilson's ability to deceive with weasel words better than the Louisiana sugar growers-and incidentally, the sugar growers of the country When, during the Baltimore convention

PADEREwsKrs BEGINNING.

y Paderewski,s who appears in the
Park theatre next Tuesday evening,
has himself told the story of how he
first made a deep impression upon the
musical world and how twas brought
about.> At Is he had been made a
professor in the Warsaw Conserva-
tory. Two years later he went to
Berlin to study Composition under
KieI and at the age of 23 he was ap-
pointed professor at the Conservatory
Of Strassburg.
1T was during this tine,'' Pade-
rewslxi has said, 'tthat I met at
summer resort the famous Polish
actress, Modjeska. and this meeting
was fraught with great Importance to
me since it was this splendid woman
who first lied me- to hope for excep-
tionaI honors in the world of music.
Indeed, it was mainly through her
sympathetic encouragement that I
abandoned the oft-time weary labor
of teaching and left for Vienna
where under the guidance of another
compatriot, Leschetitzky, I prepared
for the career of a concert artist. At
this age I had very close knowledge
or musical literature and everything
I had studied was turned to~the best
account by Leschetitzky. who, next to.
List, must be ranked as the greatest
trainer of pianists.''

recital are now on sale at Steinert's.

The Automobile Learners

The lower price for automobiles is
multiplying the machines and many
learners are on the road taking les
sons in driving.
The most conservative citizen may
be transformed when he first gets be-
hind the steering wheel Previously
he has demanded Jail sentences for
fast driving. But in the car he fails
to realize how fast he goes. The
process of stopping and starting looks
difficult and he is fearful of stalling
his engine. = He is apt to keep going
in a mix-up of teams and people,
when he ought to stop and let the
tangIe clear up.
Many people whoa have ridden BIZ
cycles get certain elements of driving
very quickly. After they have gone
rs miles, they can make an excellent
bluff at steering car in the open
country. This gives them premature
confidence and bo1dness. They think
their education is complete, and go
banging through the next town with
going both ways, and bicycles, chill
dren, and elderly people on the
streets. Only by a miracle of deft-
ness can the instructor save them.
The difficult thing is not learn
ing to steer on q straight track. That
is nothing. 1t is the quick uncon-
scious shifting of gears and changing
of speeds and directions to get around
in towns 1t takes time to acquire
this skill. Those who think too soon
that they have it, arel likely to find
their mistake to their cost.
The position of instructor for a gar
age or selling agency is responsible
The teacher needs to impress on the
learner that he is in control of a ma
chine whose power and destructive
ness, he has little realization. He
needs to caution him when he sees
trouble ahead, and not let him get up
to his neck in "a tight place. There
is too much of a tendency to place
immature fellows in this important
post.

.DUTCH'LEONARD p TODAY

Dutch Leonard, the stellar south
paw of the worlds champions, will
round out his twenty-fourth year to-
day, as he was born April 26, 1892
He is a native of the Buckeye State
and was christened Hubert. His
youth was spent in California; the
Leonards residing for some years in
Fresno, where Frank Chance got his
mundane start, and 'fChief'' Meyers
family werem usicians, and Dutch
was a trap drummer. When he went
to ST. Mary's College, California,
institution which has probably turn
ed out more good ball players than
any other in America-he abandoned
his ambition to become an orchestra
leader, and looked forward to a ca
reer on the professional diamond. His
work as a hurler at st. Mary's at
tracted the attention of Connie Mack,
and Dutch was given trial with
the Athletics when he was only IS.
The following annum he received a
call from the Boston Red Sox, but he
was soon released optiona11y to Wor-
ceSter, and that club transferred him
to Denver. Leonard won 22 games
for the Grizzlies and lost only nine in
1912, and quickly became a favorite
with the Western league fans. He was
recalled to the Red Sox for the 1918
season, and won IA and lost 6 games
his first year in the big show. In 1914
he had a record of 9 victories to five
defeats, and last year he won IA and
lost seven games. besides winning one
of the pastimes of the worlds series.
Manager Carrigan places a lot of de-
pendence in the Californian in his lit
tie project for coping another gon-
Talon this year.

FOR STADIUM IN
U. S. FOR 1920

New York, April 26.-New York
athletic associations and individuals
yesterday evinced keen interest in
Representative Murray Hulbert's bill,
now before Congress, to provide ST.
545. 3e7 for the Improvement of East
Potomac Park, Washington, with the
view of making the national capital
the athletic center of the United States.
Mr.. Hu1bert's bill is based on recon-
mendations in the report of Col. w. w.
Harris, engineer corps.
Room for 5000 Spectators.
y In introducing the bill Mr.. Hubert
stated it was intended to erect near
the main entrance to the park a 'fU''-
shaped stadium, located to command
full view of the entire field, the
river beyond and, in the distance the
picturesque hills of Virginia and Mary
land The stadium itself will be
of sIoping earthen banks and incon-
spicuous from the White House and
monument grounds. Its central por-
ton is to be equipped with fixed con-
crete seats, and would have an actual
seating capacity of G, 900, while on the
turf slopes Of the two wings of the
U-shaped structure temporary seats
can be added so as to accommodate at
least 10000 spectators at a football
or baseball game, and it is contena-
plated that upon completion the Army
nately held in New York and Phi1adel-
pnia, would be held there.
Moreover, the field will be adaptable
to other sports when football and base
ball are not in season. In addition
to the stadium the PLAN provides for
a parade ground, children's play
ground, wading pool, large swimming
pool and erection of lighthouses and
a harbor on the Washington channel
Eside, and many other recreations which
will make it the most extensive, com
plete and up-to-date playground in
the world.
Hubert an Athlete.
Representative Hubert, who has ta-
New York for many years and is one
of the directors of the Irish-Anerican
Athletic Club, honorary president of
the Harlem Athletic League and ac-
tive the affairs of the A. A. u. stat
ed that. if favorable action is taken
upon the bill concerted effort would
be made by the athletic clubs of the
cot1ntry affiliated with the A. A. IT, to
have the Olympic games in 1920 held
in Washington, and pointed out that in
every other country ample accomm o.
dations are, afforded in the national
capital, except in the United States.
Mr.. Hubert said he intended to ask
Chairman Fitzgerald to set a date for
a hearing on the bill.
