SoX SHOW POORLY AGAINST

Lu0 WulLS OO8 are III. JQlIQ place, a
game and a half from the leading
Red Sox and half a game from the
rejuvenated Cleveland Indians. De-

rear of the South Siders.

Against the, four visitors the Sox
won 13 and dropped z. Sounds
highly promising, but eight of these
games were against the Mackmen,

out of that feat. Against the three
real ball teams from the east the
SOx won five and lost seven. WASH

Louis dropped but two games to the
seaboard people, both to Boston.
Jones' people won 10 out Of 81 games
against the east. Cleveland showed
better, coming back into the race,
and even Detroit, in spite of a bad
series against the Red Sox, trimmed
Washington and New York with
ease.
When the White Sox came home
they were in fifth place, but only by
three and a half games. Through
the medium of that swollen eight
game series with the Mackmen it

STATE GOVERNMENT WILL
COLLAPSE.

No State with one-half the city
population of Missouri has ever
thought Of adopting statewide pro-
hibition.
No prohibition state ever did de-
pend so largely upon the
which come from the liquor and allied
industries of the large cities as does
Missouri,
The State government today is not
in such a financial condition as to be
able to withstand the shock of sub
tracing between three and four mil
lion dollars per year from its reven-
ues. Everybody knows that the state
revenues today are by laws so levied as
to be barely adequate to meet the nee
essary expenses Of the state govern
ment. Statewide prohibition in Mis-
souri, will therefore mean nothing less
than a total collapse of the state v
eminent. The disastrous conditions
resulting from such an occurrence
would be universal throughout the
state. There is but one way to avert
a calamity so terrible and unprece-
denied, and that is to scratch the
Eyes" IN Amendment No. g..
