The Big League Stretch,


Now for the stretch tohere, neck and neck,
The leaders fash before the throng;
Where frightened bits the red foam feck
In battle Of the siOtt and strong;
Where broken entries lag behind
In faltering step before the pace
That flashes like the onwdrd tcind
The last feO flrlongs Of the race;
Hark to the bugie-rou OF drum
Unto the stretch they come--they come
No,o for the stretch-,chere strong hearts beat
And red blood in veins Of fire;
Where stal,oart souls kno1o no defeat
In headlong battle for The wire;
Where crimson clot may dull the eyes
And breath may clog the putsing throat
But flung against the August skies
There rings the ,curring battle note;
Hark to the buglc-roH Of drum
"Into the stretch they come-they come"

pected arrival on furlough from the
British army of Harry Holmes, former

his visit, Holmes, who is now captain,
was asked to referee to-day's game. HIS
furlough expires on September IA, when
he will rejoin the trench mortar ar
tillery in France. -,
There were plenty Of thrills in the
game. The Red Birds caught up with
the odds of five they had conceded I'M
der the handicaps at the start OF the
sixth period, when a goal by Hopping
gave the lead to them by s TO 512. Be
fore the period Wanamaker make a

At the meeting of the CONNER
cial club last week the question of
establishing a sewer systsm in Scot
land was discussed, and it was the
unanimous opinion of those pres
ent that there is a demand for such
a system, aud that it should be in
stalled at once. Of course the con
sent of a majority of the realty
holders is necessary before a sys-
tenn can be established, but before
the proposition is submitted it is
necessary to know approximately
what it will cost. This necessitates
an accurate survey of the town to
establish the levels, and determine
the most feasible location for an
outlet. The expense of such q
survey would not be wasted ever
if the sewer should rot be installed
this year, as the record will be good
for all time, and there is no ques-
tion but that such a system will
have to be installed at no distant
date. To get the matter started
the commercial club appointed a
committee to present the matter
to the city council, and also ar.
ranged to have J. w. Wallace, the
county surveyor, present for con.
sultation. A special meeting Of
the council was held Thursday ev-
ening. Judge F. D. Wicks, repre-.
senting the commercial club, pre-.
scented the matter to the council,
and after consulting with Mr.. Wal.
lace, a motion was unanimously
carried to employ Mr.. Wallace to
make the required survey. Mr..
Wallace arrived Wednesday morn.
ing and is now at work. With this
survey completed the property
owners can decide the matter in
diligently, both as to benefits to
he derived and as to cost.

national leaders are committed to it,
and half the states of the Union have
adopted it. Hence, having been lifted
from local to national eminence, the pol
icy is under a winter, brighter light
than ever before. Success where it is in
operation now will possess a value for
the cause in the carrying forward Of
the propaganda hitherto unknown.
The economic features of the prob
lem are emphasized with its spread. OPP
ponents POINT to injury to property. and
to the loss of revenue for the support
of government. city, state and national.
Where, elsewhere, is this revenue to be
found,
Advocates respond with such statistics
as are now furnished by Virginia, show
ing a decrease of disorder, a conspicu
Gus improvement in the conduct of the
people, and a reduction of those ex-
penditures hitherto made necessary by
the temptations of an unrestrained traf-
ic in liquors. While they do not de-
cline debate on the revenue side of the
issue, or on the changes in business
made necessary by prohibition. they
dwell particularly on the moral phase
of the matter as overshadowing all else
All of this is grist for Mr. Bryan's
mill, the wheels of which he promises
shall be kept steadily revolving for the
next four years. He as the dusty miller
will be a very interesting figure.

Virginia and Prohibition.

In special to The Star from Rich
mond, published yesterday, giving a re.
port of Firginia's experience of three
weeks with prohibition, this appeared:
ARRESTS have decreased more than 30
per cent On all charges arrests for be-
ing drunk have showed decrease of
not less than ~ per cent, while arrests
for drunk and disorderiy conduct have
decreased 70 the same extent In sew
eral cities since prohibition became eff
fectiye there has not been an arrest or
case before the police court. That
has happened twice in Lynchburg
Where the police court in this CITY for
merly occupied one 10 four hours in dis
posing or the docket, especially Monday
mornings, the court rarely lasts for as
much as an hour
The new broom is sweeping we'll All
friends of prohibition will be heartened
by the record made. But, of course. the
record must continue if the new policy
in the state is to serve in spreading the
work elsewhere. If the enforcement of
the law should grow lax, and even q
partial return to old conditions appear,
the work elsewhere might be halted, or
at any rate its progress retarded
Indeed, prohibition as policy is more
conspicuously on trial in the states
where it has been adopted in recent
years than in those states, few in mum
Der, where it was adopted years ago
1t is only Of recent years that the drink
traffic has been challenged upon broad
lines. For a long time prohibition was
classed with the fsds. and had only
local consideration. Now it is c1assed
with serious. practical, national policies

Approximations.

The worst is sure to happen; we have
heard it many time;
The libraries recite the same old fear
in prose and rhyme.
When Willie gets the whooping cough
we shudder with fear
AS grim as if some peril to the nation
lowered near
But Willie has recovered and he's lust
as good as new;
He may weather scarlet fever and ap-
pendicitis. too.
Although the past has turned out we'll,
the future bids us fret,
rhe worst is sure to happen, but it hasn't
happened yet
The world has passed through trials that
are fearful to recall.
Old Fox's Book of Martyrs tells of a
percentage small
OF what the human race has known in
seasons of unrest,
And yet a glorious faith has proved that
things are for the best.
For every backward step earth makes a
mighty forward stride,
As Hope and Truth prove sovereignty
that cannot be denied.
For centuries we've said it, mid the
shadows of regret.
"The worst is going to happen" But it
hasn't happened yet.

Paper Collections.

No more graphically could the i'm.
mense waste of paper heretofore per
mitted have been illustrated than by
the establishment of the collection of
old newspapers by the pupils of the pub
lie schools for the benefit of the play-
ground fund. The daily reporting of
the gathering of thousands of pounds of
old papers and of the result in money
from their sales to dealers has demon
strated wildly the fact that an immense
value is represented in the east off paper
in the aggregate. Thousands Of people
have been made to realize the great
waste that is represented in the care
lessness with which this material is
used.
1t is a striking fact that the con.
tractor for the collection of refuse in
the District complains that since the
paper-saving campaign started he has
received much less from his collections,
and in this situation he may be COM
PEELED. At the close Of his present con.
