SCHOOL BOARD, NIPS
PLANS In THE BUD

Plans for football game De-
tween Tacoma midget team, to
be partially selected from high
school players, and a midget team
from Seattle. were rudely shatter-
ed today when the school board
limited broadly that such a viola
ton of the inter-city edict would
mean suspension of the players
from further participation in high
school athletics.
The proposed game came to the
knowledge of the school board
when the players asked permits
sion to use the Stadium for stag
ing the contest. This was refus-

ed. Then the school board de-
cided that the game, as planned,
was a direct evasion of the rule
against inter-city games.
Prompt action was taken to
head it off. Although the play
ers cannot be prevented from en-
tering athletic affairs outside OF
the school hours, the school board
threatens to prevent any player
who enters such a game from TAX
ing part in any event in later
years.
The players have announced 10
intention of going ahead with
their plans in defiance of the
school board.

OF SOCIALISM HIT
BOuCk White Declares Il Is
Purely Politics.

Milwaukee, uJly 19.-"The socialists
Of Milwaukee are a weakened lot,
fishing for the popularity of the voter,
sacrificing their highest ideals for a
place in political office, and departing
from the true principles and beliefs
in the brotherhood of man."
Bouck White, head of the Church Of
the Social Reformation of New York,
whose arrest and conviction on a
charge of desecrating the American
flag, attracted wide attention, roundly
denounced the Milwaukee branch of
the socialist party in an interview at
the Hotel Pfster.
"The Milwaukee socialists have
seemingly entirely forgotten the fun
damental principles of true socialistic
doctrine went on Mr.. White, "and
are forming sort of independent unit
OF their own, with beliefs at variance
to those originally held. They are no
longer striving for the international
ism which is the great aim of a red
blOoded socialist, but are assuming
the appearance of a reform political
party"

council whether they shall grant IL
cense to any saloon or not. Even
though this city may vote wet, the city
council may decline to grant any Ii
cense. A grave responsibility then
rests upon each councilman. The last
time a vote was taken for or against
license, the second ward voted dry by
80 majority This being the case, what
right have the two cOuncilmen from
that ward who are supposed to repre-
sent the wishes Of the people, and not
their own, to vote for saloons.
Then again, if the women of this city
were allowed to vote, without doubt
the city would go dry by large major
ity. It is deplorable that we are not
enlightened enough to allow our moth
ers and sisters to vote; but they are
citizens nevertheless and their wishes
should be considered by our common
council when they take up the IL ap-
plications for saloon license. It is too
bad we could not have had at least one
protest against the curse.
