Chicago. Oct. 3l.--When the pro-
hibition special train pulls into the
Twelfth street station here the morn
ing OF election day. next week, J.
Frank Hanly and Ira D. Landdrith,
candidates for president and vice
president respectively. will have COM
pleted the longest continuous cam
paign tour of any party this year, and
possibly in the nations history, And
this with full knowledge that they
can not hope to win.
The Hanly special has been on the
road since September 6 and the ad-
vantages OF prohibition have been
proclaimed in 500 cities In IS states.
Prohibition is surely coming--the
encouraging sentiment showed

matter OF sentiment purely. II ap-
peals to men Of ability everywhere.
But political considerations have kept
both old party leaders silent on the
question. Many OF them are for pro-
hibition. but will not risk their poll
tical fortunes by antagonizlng the
liquor element. That is why the pro-
hibition party is necessary. It is our
duty to force the issue. and II We can
not elect our candidates We can elect
the issue. We will force congress
and the president TO heed the senti-
ment We are creating"
Colvin predicted the party would
get 100000 votes this year. He
looks for strong support from former
progressives. Three dry" congress
men are almost sure OF being elected,
he said Congressman Randall. a
fusion candidate in California; ]. s.

"Vse" must therefore be the past particple OF
this verb, and it seems absurd to use 1t with
the sign of the infntive in English, as 1t would
be equivalent to saying ito validated" 'Vlseed, :,
according to this construction, would be vail

Wise is the past participle of the French verb
viser but it has been incorporated in the Eng

ment on a passport showing that 1t has Deen

old Ike Walton wrote Yet there's a way of
making the latter term expressive of the Wal
tonian spirit, That is by utilizing the prefix
"a" which is really not a prefix at all, but a
proposition. "A-tishing" is lmpeccabIy sent
mental DR.. Prime uses it in his little book
Il Go a.tishing'" but there he is quoting Scrip
ture. Then, sometimes, phrase containing the
word 'fshing" may be so turned as to preserve
the higher value, in the title of Bliss Perry's
essay, "Fishing With Worm"
Angling is of ancient history. Among the fol-
lowers of Zoroaster were angler naturalists and
both the Greeks and the Romans pursued the
art of angling. From Homer to Orphan there
were piscatory poets who dweIt on the de.
lights OF the gentle craft, In a poem of the
second century Orphan describes the perfect
angler as "a well-nade, active man, patient
Ygiant enterprising, courageous and full of
expedents." The earliest mention of hy fish
ing occurs in the Ilpigrams of Martial, wherein
the wrasse is "decoyed by fTaudful flies" The

wrote "A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an An.

1t was discovered later that Costas own
friends had put the pistol in the boys hand,
and that the whole assassination" had been
prearranged for purposes of publicity. This
story would be unbelievable were it not that
the Premier is vain enough to believe that
attempted "assassinations" strengthen his
political prestige and keep him fully in the
public eye. He has been "assassinated" so
many times, in fact, that when the news does
arrive of his actual murder Cas may happen at
any time) few in Lisbon will be prepared to
believe it.
Costas Famous Ride
The story of his ride to City Hall to pro-
claim the republic is quite interesting
in its way as that famous ride of Paul Revere's.
In it's own way, remember. Everything and
everybody was in confusion. Except Costa.
He knew that all danger was for the
revolutionists. He kept away from his fellow
conspirators and-hired taxi. 1t was neces-
sary for Costa to get somewhere-and get
there first. It was imperative also that Ma
chado de Santos-one of the leading mutineers
should be "dished" So Costa jumped into
the cab after the king had disappeared, and
with a cloud Of gasoline behind him made"
for the Rotunda, where handful of conspira.
tors in waiting, with Machado de Santos
in charge He told de Santos that another
attack was imminent and persuaded him to
remain on guard. Then, having properly de-
ceived his fellow republican, Costa jumped into
the cab again and "scorched" to the City Hail.
The cab in which this terrific ride was made
became later object of historic interest
and there was abortive attempt to install
1t, with the relics of the Braganza murder in
the ES tional museum. 1t may be added, as a
minor incident in the libretto, that there are
still some bullet holes in the cab. These were
made, says one authority, by one of Costa's
admirers, who fired "a few shots through il
it lay in it's shed, in order to give it the
appearance of having been through the hottest
fire."
That's the style of Premier Costa, con-
troller of the destnies of the nightmare repub.
lie. Not very impressive in personal appear
ance, he tries to be-with his nice little mus.
tache and beard and all. But this attempt to
be impressive goes to greater lengths. He
wishes to be thought very fierce. He encour-
ages the story that he keeps large number
of dogs for the purpose of cutting off tail
when he's in a particularly fierce mood Let
Germany beware
