which one legislator was knocked I'M
conscious and many others were Sc
fiously injured.
Taper weights and ink stands were
used as weapons by the lawmakers,

men Of the state of their right to vote.
The scene was enacted during Il
vote on 4 section Of the election law
designed to take the place of the fam
Gus Grandfather law" This statute,
which disenfranchised the negro, was
recently declared unconstitutional by
the United States Supreme Court.
The Republican and Socialist mem
bers of the House were opposed to the
Democratic scheme, and offered vigOr-
Gus opposition to the law. During the
discussion Republican member pass

posing factions squared off for action.
It was fifteen minutes before the
fight ended and when the last missile
was hurled, several lawmakers were on
the floor and one was picked up u

Jurist Tells Of Witnessing

When a Player Discarded
Three Tens and Kept a

The game of poker, as played in
Dixie, is responsible for Judge Edward
D. Hays suspecting that a party of
Southern gentlemen were of unsound
mind. He tells the story on himself.
Here it is:

A Trouble-Making Policy

The Hughes Alliance, whatever
that may be, is actually spending
good money in advertising such stuff
as this in the newspapers:
Year by year it becomes more ap-
parent that the markets of the
world must be kept open 70 Ameri-
can industries.
I'VE cannot extend our trade far
Their than we are able to defend it. I"
Must be kept open!" Pray, how is
that to be done except by force of
arms, that is, by war? If Germany,
for instance, after the present con-
test, decides to erect high tariff bar
rier against all nations except her
allies is the United States to send
warships to the other side 20 compel
her to reduce her import duties?
The idea is so idiotic that it's absur
dity becomes at once apparent.
This is a peculiarly dangerous doc
trine for Republicans to preach and
to hold up as their party program. If
it is right for the United States to
batter down any tariff wall erected
against it, how can it in consistency
build such a tariff wall itsef and de-
mand that other nations shall respect
it? Still that is what Senator Pen
rose and his friends hope to do, il
they secure control of the Federal
Government. While barring foreign
countries from our markets )y means
of excessive duties, they plan to take
a high hand with Great Britain,
France, Russia, Germany, Italy and
other countries and to demtnd that
1.-The markets of the world must be
kept open" to us under threats of
war In other words, Amencans are
to become the human hog of the
universe, grabbing everything for
themselves and giving nothing in re-
turn Of course, the rest of the
world will not stand for sub poll
cy of absolute selfishness, ind when
the Hughes Alliance advocates it it
shows what a lot of ninconpoops its
managers must be. There must be
fair give and take after he war.
Any other tariff policy will surely
breed international troubl.-Phila-

NJ, Celebrate Fitting Up OF New
Hall-Said to Have The Finest
Lodge Room on The Shore.

Choptank Lodge, No. 1873, Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons, of East
New Market, gave a delightful ban
quet yesterday evening at their new
Lodge room in the Realty Building,
the occasion being the refurnishing
Of their room. 1t will be recalled
the Lodge was burned out in the big
1re at East New Market, at the time
Of the burning of the Hotel Chesa-
del. They are now nicely domiciled

EPISCOPALIANS STAND
FOR PROHIBITION
Conference Declares Liquor Is
Against Best Interests of Com
munity.

st. Louis, Oct. 24.-For the first
time in the history of the church, &C
cording to well-informed leaders, a
stand on the liquor traffic was taken
here today in the General Conven-
ton of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. A resolution adopted by the
House of Deputies placed the church
on record as favoring such action in
our legislative assemblies as will
preserve the interests of temperance
and the repression of the liquor traf-
fc''
The action was an outgrowth of a
memorial asking the convention to
record itself as favoring nationwide
prohibition, submitted by the Church
Temperance Society through Francis
L. Stetson, of New York.
The saloon was scored in the re-
port of the committee, headed by
Rev. James E. Freeman, of Mime
apolis, which considered the memo
rial. This said:
"Our age is witnessing vast and
universal readjustment with refer
ence to the manufacture and sale of
liquor, and it is generally recognized
that the saloon has become more and
more a menace to the best interests
of our corporate and individual life.
A report showing that the church
has more than 100000 communi-
cants and 500 clergymen was pre-
sented to the House of Deputies by
the Committee on the State of the
Church. The report also showed
that about 1000 of the clergy are not
engaged in parochial work, and that
there are about $4,000 school Off
GERS and teachers under the church
with approximately 100000 pupils.

Republican View
Of Ohio Situation

Democratic comments on the Re-
publican campaign are, Of course, op-
en- to the suspicion that the wish is
father to the thought. But what
shall be said of such a paragraph as
this on the first page of The Boston
Transcript, between the display head
and the political dispatches?
Republicans of Ohio at last ap-
preciate the fact that the Presiden-
tial campaign in their State has been
grossly mismanaged and that the
Wilson talk is something more than
talk. Now comes the demand that
pussy-footing be stopped and that
orators who will hit straight from
the shoulder be sent to the Middle
West. Governor Hughes is asked to
60 there and say what he wants to
say in the way he wants to say 1t.
There is call, too, for Roosevelt, for
Lodge and for Root. The State can
be saved, but there must be mill
tant campaign"
That is cheerful reading for Re-
publicans in one Of their own papers,
is it not? 1t appears from this para
graph that Mr.. Hughes has been
muzzled; by whom, and why? AS
for the call for Roosevelt, nothing
could be more embarrassing when
the Hyphens are demanding that he
be required to go way back and sit
down. 1t is rather too late to aban-
don the pussyfoot as the party en-
blem.

HANSBROUCH FOR WILSON
Former U. S. Senator, A Republican,
Tells Why in Letter to Hughes.

New York, Oct. 24.-Henry Clay
Hansbrough, a Republican and for
Is years a United States Senator
! from North Dakota, has declared his
support of President Wilson. In an
open letter to Charles E. Hughes, in
which he subscribed himself "A Will
son Republican" made public by the
Democratic National Committee, Mr..
Hansbrough invites the nominee to
suppose that he and President Will
son occupied reverse positions.
Suppose" he wrote, you had
been President of the United States
during period fraught with start
ling and unexpected world events,
and that Woodrow Wilson should
resign from the bench and take the
stump against you. Would not such
a campaign Gil his part impress you
with the IittIeness in his conception
Of the high duties belonging to your
great Office:
Had you exercised your best
judgment in conformity with the
best interests of all the people, re-
CARELESS of their party affiliations,
and Mr.. Wilson, seeking to supersede
you as the Chief Executive of the
country, were to declare that moth
ing you had done was right and ev-
erything you had done was wrong,
ask you if the result would not be
very depressing to you, patriotic
fair-minded citizen?
This was the feeling that promp-
ted me, after listening to any Of your
first speeches in the campaign, to
declare myself in favor of the re-
election of Mr.. Wilson. But for the
fact that you are seeking an Office,
wouldn't you cast your vote-as
intend to cast mine-for the man
who has done his level best and sue
ceeded in many big things, rather
than for the man who ignores the
bigger things and deals vaguely with
the little things?"
