ENDS.

The last games of the basket ball
series of the college ended Wednesday
night when the seniors, champions,
were beaten by the sophomores, and
the freshmen won from the juniors.
The first game started with a rush, the
sophomores having things decidedly
their way, the half ending ip score Of
six to nothing in their favor. The seniors
awoke in the last half but the sopho-
mores were able to retain their lead in
the score and the final score was SO in
their favor. The sophomores have the
distinction of being the only team to
defeat the seniors this season, the
seniors having been victorious in every
other game so far. The lines were:
| Seniors. Sophomores.

esting to watch although it portended,
as have their other games, that the
freshmen will stand in line for the
championship cup next year. The final
score was 2l--l5 in favor of the fresh
men. The line up:

They cannot concede anything, for they feel that to concede only renders easier the plan of campaign of the workers organized to take and holi they know that it would be only a matter of time until the workers would by steadily increasing de- mansdasks the impossible on their profits.
 And this condition is openly re- cognized by the anthracite magnate whom we quoted. You cannot fool him as to the objective of the for ces in the labor movement, because his perspective is circumscribed by no near by illusions of platitude like fair days work for a fair day S pay. What the boss wants is pro- fits; what the worker wants is what the boss wants. He cannot get 1t just now because whole lot of the workers don't know what they want. and a whole lot know they only want job and don't care how they get it.
 Because a whole lot of labor off, cials have achieved the heights ot cushioned ease, be-diamonded control and highly salaried intercourse and leisure shared with the lcisured classes, they would limit the objects and the ends of the labor move ment. But they might as well hope not erupt.

l an easy thing taking care of that community of interest at Civic Fe- iteration banquets anG the like. The blame should be placed where i, belongs. And it belongs with the workers, organized or unorganized who fail to promote absolute solid arity of the working class,
 Everything else is moonshine; solidarity is everything thct the worker needs. Acting together, massing their individual power in one big union, inspired with a com mon purpose and imbued with the notion of indissoluble unity, they caR accomplish everything.
 Why, in the absence of such solid arity what right have workers whc are accessory to such, to condemn the most rigorous acts of. the ,m- ployers: the hangings, the shootings, the railroadings, the miserable work ing conditions and all the other dis abilities that sicken and dismay not less because they are avoidable ard because they are so easily destruct. ible if the workers had a mind to do it.
 Herbert Spencer said somewhere that the institutions of any age were those best suited thereto. That may be all true enough; but we can De quite sure that the workers will ob- tain just that amount of industriai freedom and industrial betterment that they are prepared to demand and fight for. The labor conditions that prevail in any country are just such conditions as the workers in mass are ready to fight for: there may be few who want it better and will fight for it's being better, but on the whole they are such as are adapted to the desire and the will to have that the workers pos sess on an average.

Of all the uttcrances that we favor from the Bard, that re- mark of the lean Cassius to Brutus appeals to us as absolute truth: "Our fault. dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlirgs". That's true as truth itself "Who would be free said Byron, himself must strike the blow. It is because the workers fail to work towards class solidar- ity and complete and absolute unity of action, and fail to organize they are what they arc: ill paid, out ragged and exploited undorlings.

GLOOM FILLS
 REPUBLICAN
 HEADQUARTERS
Reports Come That Wilson's Popularity Grows By
 Leaps and Bounds.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Gloom filled the headquarters of the Republican National Committee to-day. Every one, from Chairman Wilcox down, was depressed. Nominees, bureau heads and workers were telling one another how badly the campaign has been managed and, as a consequence, that everything is going to smash on election day. Chairman Wilcox tried to keep up his courage, but his sub ordinates were gloomy and downcast. They could see nothing but sure de- feat staring at them.
 Reports have come from the West and Middle West that the Hughes campaign has been a failure and that President Wilson's popularity is grow ing in leaps and bounds. So frighten- ed are they that they have taken the management of the Ohio campaign out of the hands of the local men and will run 1t from National head quarters.
 Roosevelt's failure to stir up Hughes sentiment has the Republican man. agers worried! Chairman Wilcox has received many requests that he be taken off the stump, while from no place has there come a request that he make a second speech. The flat failure of his speech at Wilkes-Barre on Saturday night has proved discon- certing to the Republican managers, who were playing their last card for the labor vote.
 To add to the gloom, Fred e. Greiner, Republican leader oz Buffalo told Chairman Wilcox that the work ingmen are for President Wilson's re- election almost unanimously, and that heroic treatment must be applied to save MT. Hughes.
 The hardest blow is the collapse of the Republican candidates metropoli- tan newspaper support. The New York Tribune, which has long and unbroken record of Republicanism, and which a few days ago felt com pelled to disagree pointedly with MT. Hughes Lusitania speech, this morn ing published a political forecast which amounts to a virtual confess sion of the defeat of the Republican candidate.
 This forecast purports to be based upon confidential reports from every doubtful state received by one of the most prominent campaign managers. It gives Hughes only 284 votes, inA cluding Ohio's "A and West Virginia s 8, which everyone knows are so safe for Wilson.

RoCHETTE, NOTED
 SW|NOLER, FOUND IN >FRENCH ARMY

Paris, Oct. 18-The disappearance of the notorious Henri Rochette, who was sentenced to three years impr1- sonment in 1912 in connection with vast bucketshop swindlers, has been cleared up by his arrest at Granville today. Under the name of Georges Bienaime, Rochette enlisted in Paris as a moforcyclist in the first month of the war and was stationed at Amiens.
 The Eochette case was one of the most sensational in the history of the French courts. Rochette was arrest ed in 1908 charged with swindling on an enormous scale. His operations involved more than $20,000 900 and at his subsequent trial it was stated that some of the most prominent men in French public life had been either his dupes or his accomplices. A par liamentary inquiry was made into charges that Antoine Monis. former premier, and Joseph Caillaux, former minister of France, were exerting their influence to protect the pro- moter.
 Rochette disappeared while out on bail and succeeded in reaching Mex ico where, it was said, he was well comed by Francisco Madero, the for mer President. The French govern ment demanded his extradition, but Rochette was warned in time and es- caped. Since that time his where abouts have been unknown.

FRENCH POLICIES
 TO BE REMOLDED
 BY WAR, HE SAYS

Paris, Oct 18-The remoulding of French political methods after the war, resulting in a concentration of government, is predicted by Premier Briand, according to a conversation the Premier has had with friends which is recapitulated in the Figaro by Alfred Capus, the dramatist, and member of the French Academy. M Capus quotes the Premier as say ing: --t
 "T do not pretend to do more than sketch the main outline. AS the result of lessons which it cannot es- cape, I believe our country will re- sume instinctively the notion of direct council and authority. There will be this difference, that while under past regimes this authority was inn posed upon. today it is the country itself which demands it from it's elect ed representatives as well as a more firm and concentrated direction ot its business.
 "You understand, I am not speak ing for myself, am thinking of the next group of politicians who will be in power. Our present political methods are not at all damaged by thew ar. They samply require to be revised, remolded and re-adapted. am convinced, for example, that the spirit born of the war is about to clash with the spirit of peace and parochia1ism and that we will break it.
 "There will be substituted the mo- tion of public welfare which has been lost in what one might call the pull verization of efforts. What will be wanted will be the concentration ot effort in the general interest.
 'In my opinion, the need of to- morrow is fo concentrate instead of disperse, and you cannot imagine to what extent universal suffrage will accomplish these principles. I be- lieve it is ready to do so now. The war has put 1t in a state ofceptivity and it remains only to speak to it clearly and frankly and to awaken it to a realization of its own condi- tion."

NEW HAVEN' CARS
 . TO HAVE HOOKS

NO passenger car on the New Ha- ven system will be without hooks to hold the wearing apparel of travellers, according to decision reached by representatives of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad Go. who appeared before the public utili- ties commission. AcAon to have all coaches provided with hooks to hold clothing was recently taken by the commission when it summoned the agents of the road to give their req sons for removing the holders from the racks above the car windows.
 The commissioners discovered that the hooks disappeared from the cars at the time that advertisements were inserted in the space running Along the cars over the windows. Repre- sentatives of the railroad said that in order to insert the , advertisements over the racks the hooks had to be removed. All hooks above the win dows were removed in cars on the so-called suburban lines. Advertise ments are. not used in the through" trains, the railroad representatives said. v
 The railroad representatives told the commissioners that the hooks would be replaced immediately and word will probably be sent out today to the company in New Britain which has charge of this work for the rail- road.

LOTTERIES

The first English lottery of which there is any record was established in 1869, during tbe reign of the good Queen Elizabeth, and this species of gambling continued to enjoy great popularity until the early part of the nineteenth century. The last "State Lottery" was drawn in England ninety years ago today, Oct. IS, 1926. and after that lotteries were prohibited by law throughout the British realm. Lotteries continue to flourish in sev. eral continental countries, and several of the. German states now hold lot- teries for various war funds. In Amer ica the lottery was from the earliest times common means of raising funds, and colleges have been founded and endowed, roads and bridges built, hospitals erected and even churches sustained by lotteries Louisiana was the last stronghold of the lottery on this side of the Atlantic, and it was only after a long legal battle that the Louisiana Lottery company was driven out of its last trench Lotteries are still legalized in some of the Latin American countries England was the first country to abolish lotteries

DEPRESSING TOUR
 THAT OF HUGHES HIS FRIENDS SAY
Continued in the "Face of Complaint and Protests
 Independent Proclaims.

New York, Oct. 1S.-"The Hughes Disappointment is the title of an editorial in which the independent New York Evening Post declares that the Republican candidates speaking tour has failed to stir up the slight est enthusiasm, and has depressed even his keenest admirers.
 "In the face of complaint and pro- tests" the paper says, "Nlr. Hughes has continued in his course. Brushing aside all reports of dissatisfaction
 The Post continues:
 "Carlyle's question might be put to him-'Hast thou only a torch to des- troy? Hast thou no hammer with which to build?' MT. Hughes has a hammer, but he uses it only to knock every Democratic act or failure to act The sure consequence has been to weary the country. People want to hear something of future efforts. And in the whole matter of passion ate appeal, as of man with high v1- sion of what is to be, MT. Hughes has come painfully short. He has been shooting squirts of vitriol at the Democratic administration. He has not freely poured out wine for those whom he invites to sit at his table.
 "He may have offended nobody, buthe has won nobody. He has left the. country cold. Thousands who were ready to be drawn to him are left halting between two opinions. Most of the votes cast for him will be without zeal or vivid anticipation. The campaign in general cannot be said to<have been stimulating. MT. Hughes part in it has been a positive depressant.'

The last General Assembly passed . law in regard to liquor licenses re- Quiring that one-quarter. of the re- ceipts from this source of revenue be turned into the state treasury. There was various speculatjons and pre- dictions regarding the amount which would accrue to the state among the variety of talk which the measure called forth, predicting that the amount which the state would get as $150,000 and others as high as $700,- 900. According to information from the state treasurer's office yesterday, a happy medium" was the result, the sum received being $439,507.07. The fee for an ordinary license was fixed at $75o.
