Probable Line-Ups.
Grifrnen.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.
Game ut 8 o'clock.

Joe Gedeon IL enjoying a large laugh
at those know-it-alls who predicted his
early collapse as big Lacquer. Indeed
the California catamount looks better
the farther he goes.
In the first two contests OF the pres
ent series. Gedeon has cracked out four
hits. Two were three-baggers. one q
double, and the other a single.
Gedeon's running has given the Yam
KEGS three runs. while his hitting has
scored three more. His tremendous thud
on Fosters shoulder won yesterdays
game for the Yanks.
The Californian 10 not the cleanest
fselder in the world. but he knows II.
He isn't kidding himself one little bit
about that. He just goes out there day
after day and does his best. improving
as he goes along.
When It comes to having confidence.
no man in all the wide. wide world has
anything on Joe Gedeon. Reporting to
the Yankees. he laughed and said to q
friend Of hio. We'll. I'm back for a
couple Of months. Watch me hustle"
That's exactly what he's been doing
ever since.
II 20 Gedeon's hustling spirit as
much az his stellar hitting that has
crowded Lutte Boone or the team.
Boone is one Of the sweetest felders in
the business. but Boone lacks that do
or-die spirit possessed by Joe Gedeon.
He also lacks the bludgeon.
When Gedeon was turned over to the
Yankees. despite the complaint OF
Manager Griffith. one wise fellow ham,
mered out something like this:
THAT Gedeon made so many homo
runs in the Pacific Coast League Is ex-
planned by the extremely short fences
in that circuit. Therefore. his high
average on the Coast means nothing
in the big league and the chances are
very much against his making good
with the New York club. 1t 10 unlikely
that the Nationals will miss him. now

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

Liberty, they cry, when they mean license" said John Milton.
 Has the government a right to in terfere with a mans personal habit of drinking?
 The usual answer to this question is that everyone has right to do as he pleases so long as he does not in terfere with the rights of others. Con- ceding this to be right for arguments sake, the question narrows itself down to this: Is it right to forbid some men to drink moderately because others dring immoderately?
 The only rational answer is that if there is no other remedy for the evils of immoderate drinking but complete prohibition, then there should be com plete prohibition, even though some men must give up much cherished privilege. The public welfare must come first. There is no escape from this conclusion. The editor of the American Brewers Review admits this when he says:
 "The so-called personal liberty ar gument in behalf of alcohol drink loses more and more of it's force. Consider ation of the public welfare continues to grow and overshadow the rights of the individual. The drink question must be fought out upon the ultimate foundation of morals, hygiene and so- cial orderin other words, the public welfare. If the public welfare requires the suppression of the alcholic drink traffic, it should be suppressed"
 The question is more than prob lem of private privilege. Drinking, whether moderate of immoderate, in- wolves public welfare.

SPECIAL TRAIN CAMPAIGNERS
 MAKE DIGNIFIED FIGHT.

Despite the misdirected efforts of their opponents to embarrass their visit and their speech-making in Ari- zona, the party of women social work CTS and political leaders, travelling in the Womens Hughes Campaign special train, has accomplished al1 and more than it set out to do.
 That the efforts of Wilson sup porters to hurt the prestige of the women campaigners have proved dis astrous boomerang is the testimony of those who have closely followed the special trains career.
 The Hughes Special train campaign CTS showed their grit under distinct ly adverse circumstances at San Fran cisco, when one of their leaders, Miss Frances Kellor stood on the Ferry building steps and courageously faced the jeering throng, answering, ill a dig nified manner, each of the statements, blazoned on the banners thrust in her face.

Bryan took the floor and appeared to be worried. He kept looking toward the press gallery but Harvey gave no sign. Bryan feared to offer his motion of adjournment and the convention proceeded to the nomination of Will son. That the motion would have carried there is not the slightest doubt and Wilson's chance would have pass ed with it. So, Colonel Harvey, in spite of the ingratitude of Wilson, kept his enemies from meeting to conspire against him.

WILSON AND HIS DiscovERER.

There is an article in the current Golfers Weekly. the last of series by William IngiiS on the rise of Presi dent Wilson, which every voter should read. Mir. IngIis was an assoc ate of Col. George w. Harvey on Harper's Weekly. Colonel Harvey is the man who discovered Woodrow Wilson and with the aid of United States Senator James Smith, made him governor of New Jersey. At that time Colonel Harvey said that the governorship was intended by him only to be a stepping stone for MT. Wilson to the presi- ,dency.
 MT. Inglis writes only of things that came within his knowledge, of his con- versations with Colonel Harvey, MT. Wilson and William J. Bryan or con versations he heard between or among those figures. The article covers that period within which MT. Wilson dis played his ingratitude to Colonel liar vey and requested that Harper's Week ly should no longer support him for the nomination for the presidency. Yet, after the nomination, Chairman Me Combs of the Democratic national com- mittee called upon Colonel Harvey to enlist his aid in the presidential cam paign. It was given but, with so much secrecy that Colonel Harvey did not visit the Democratic headquarters but met and advised MT McCombs in head quarters secretly maintained in a hotel.
 The article contains the correspond ence between Mir. Wilson and Colone' Harvey relative to the withdrawal of the support of the Weekly. MT. Wi son expressed the greatest persona regard for Colonel Harvey but he was afraid that the support of the paper would hurt him among the common people. In that letter MT. Wilson with
