Applicant for Member

Last week we made an erro,
when We stated that Hon. J. J.
Meredith is an applicant fer the
office efi PRESIDENT Of the Board
of control; we should have said
that he was a prominen, appli-
cant for member of that board.
This was our error but after
all we will be pleased if he re-
ceives the appointment and we
believe he will because Governor
Pleasant knows him to be a true
blue Democrat ard those are the
kind of men the governor is
looking for.

A Guest Writes Entertainingly
of A Pleasant Evening

| le 1IltHuS VI non. y. l.. VIC
Clanahan met at the courthous'
on Saturday night, June 10, ant
presented him with a Silve
Loving Cup. 1t was a mos
beautiful design and bore the in
Scription: presented to Hon
}. +. McClanahan, Sheriff of thu
Parish Of Caldwell, by loya
Democrats. -
The presentation speech was
made by Hon. T. L. Sorrells
who in the most beautiful an(
Impressive words, pictured the
cup as the lethean receptacle II
which every unkind word anC
unpleasant thought would be
submerged and forgotten, anc
from which in the future woulC
flow the highest ideals and the
brightest aspirations of life.
When he concluded, Mr.. Nc.
Clanahan was deeply impressed
and responded in a tone of voice
that comes from a soul that
gives back music to the touch of
feeling; he expressed a desire
for peace and harmony Of every
discordant element, and for the
rapid and steady advancement of
every interest of our people.
He assured everyone that the
same spirit of good will and
friendship that prompted the
donors, would linger with him
only as an official, but through
his life and then be transmitted
to his posterity as a memento of
the past and legacy of friend
ship. At the conclusion Of his
speech, Mr.. McClanahan invited
everyone to his home where his
coed wife had prepared some de-
licious cake and wine and around
the festive board, all joined in
toaSts of good will, friendship
and prosperity.
Mr.. McClanahan as toast
master, offered Mr.. H. T. Hair,
the toast, The Influence Of
Woman in Politics. MIR. Hair
responded gracefully and proved
to all present that in her own
sweet way the hand that rocks
the cradle is the hand thrt rules
the world.
Mr.. W. A. Meredith respond.
ed to, "A Mans Political Obi
cations to His Friend" and
drew a vivid picture of his sub
ject; one that went straight to
the hearts of his audience and
that will linger there for years
to come.
Hon. T. L. Sorrells responded
to "A Mans Duty to His
Friend" in a forceful way,
bringing to bear the beautiful
lesson of Damon and Pythias,
and commencing the same spirit
of constancy and sincerely to
the present day and time.
Hon. J. J. Meredith responded
to the toast, "A Loyal Demo-
crat, " and pictured to the board
the influence of government over
our public institutions, domestic
affairs, when properly admins
tered; and the loyalty Of a Dem.
ocrat who placed the love of
country and peace and happiness
Of our people above every perso-
nal and selfish interest.
The evening was a most pleas
ant one to all and continued un-
til the 1--WE small" hours of
morn admonished US to desist.
Long may our hearts with
such memories be filled.

0ALLIPOLI AND SALoNIKI

No effort to gloss over the failure
of the allies attack on the Darda-
nelles can distract from the realiza-
ton that two fearful blunders were
made in that quarter; perhaps three.
The original unsupported naval at
tack was one, the combined sea and
land attack. was another; now there
is insistent expert testimony that
the withdrawal is third.
The allies have seen fit to con-
centrate their power in the Saloniki
region and give up the Dardanelles
attack. A study of the map will in
dictate readily enough the signifi-
canoe Of this. Thew are at the back
door of Constantinople instead of
the front door, and they threaten
the lines of communication between
Germany and the Turk. Moreover,
they are creating a powerful base
from which to conduct their opera
lions in any section of the Near
East that may be subjected to at
tack.
1t would be suicidal to leave this
entire region without effective pro-
lection against the now manifest
German design to press on to Egypt
the Mesopotamian valley, Suez, and
possibly even India. There must be
provision for safeguarding that
eastern empire, and Saloniki is made
the headquarters and arsenal.
Entrenched at Saloniki, backed by
their naval power, the allies are able
to dominate the eastern Mediter-
ranean, and more than neutralize
the Bulgar power. Their presence
in great strength in that quarter is
an invitation to Greece and Rou'
mania to join them, and the Bessa'
rabian attacks of a rehabilitateC
Russia give emphasis to that invita-
ton. The German tenure of the
railroad line connecting with Con
stantinople is rendered insecure, anC
both Montenegro and Serbia gair
large advantages in the prosecution
J of their efforts TO avoid complete
crushing. ...-..-. ---

cANApA,s SHARE OF TAE var

Canada is the bright shining jewel
in the glittering crown Of imperial
Britannia. With a population no
greater than our city Of New York
and its immediate surroundings, she
has given to the fighting ranks OF
the allies a quarter Of million men;
she will give them a quarter Of a
million more.
She is sending to the front her
wheat and other foods in cargoes
which fill many ships on many voy-
ages. In hundreds Of industrial
plants she turns out arms and am
munition, clothing, and equipment to
make countless argosies of other
war supplies blowing the waters all
the days to the ports near the en-
battled lines in France and in Elan
ders, in Russia and in the Balkans,
perhaps next in Egypt and in India.
Canada has not asked. fol-. money
to pay her share Of the war; she
herself has provided it. Since the
day she became a British colony she
has been financed for her swift in
dustrial and commercial expansion
by London. But now, arranging her
funds here in the neighbOring United
States, she pays Der own way
through the war, sending her NUM-
tions and other supplies as she sends
her men to the front, with prodigal
hand.
And those Canadians are men!
Swapping big, trimming with the
vigor and strength Of their young
race, keen-edged by nature and
hardened by their sturdy northland
life, half a million Canadians are
worth in the war perhaps million
Of some Of the others on the battle
lines Of either side.
England, in all her overseas colo,
MES, cast her bread upon the waters
for rich returns in loyalty, courage
and power; especially is this true in
the case Of Canada.

POLLS.

superlatives when applied to stock
productions usually carry much dyna-
mite. but they are required to describe
the success the Poll Players attain in
this weeks production Of James
Forbes riotouB comedy of stage life,
THE Show Shop" which was given
its Washington premiere yesterday.
The author never furnished more
broadly humorous lines and he has
drawn characters Of the stage that
are laugh-compelling throughout.
The Show Shop" Is a tale of the
ambitions of a stage mother to bring
to her daughter that most coveted
honor, a Broadway success. Obstacles
are placed in the way of the mother
when a rich young man falls in love
with the daughter and she with him.
and Max Rosenbaum, the producing
manager, is induced to aid them TO
get married. The star part is given
to the girl, through the conniVance
of Rosenbaum and Jerry Beldon, and
when the girl insists upon her lover
mediately is accepted, and finally love
triumphs.
Mr.. Van Buren, and Miss Rittenhouse
are just as clever as these two favor
ties always are as the hero and hero
inc. Whoever assigned the Poll Play
ers this week used rare Judgment in
intrusting the two outstanding parts
to Miss. Friderici and Ralph Lemley.
The work of Miss Friderici as the
stage mother was expert throughout.
She maintained throughout a regard
for the limits Of the Characterization
and never failed to get over" her
lines. Mr.. Lemley's producer Of plays
was equally expert, as was his por-
trayal of the Hebrew manager, How
ard Lang was sufficient of a tyrant
as the stage director, Ben TagRart
was the outraged author, and How
ard Schoppe's night clerk at the
Punxsutawney, Pa, hotel was artistic.
Miss Madelaine King as the gum
chewing stenographeT, and Marguer-
lite Star and J. Hammond Daily as
Joy dispensed. Minor roles were an
well taken by the ten remaining
members of the company.
Charles Squires again furnishes four
scenes complete in detail and artis-
tic in execution.

MILK PROBLEM OF CITIES

A most striking example Of the
growing need Of community, State,
and even national cooperation in
matters which formerly were
thought to be extremely individual,
is afforded by the prospect of Fed
eral Investigation, through the In
terstate Commerce Commission, Of
the milk transportation problem in
New England.
Difficulties of transportation; poor
quality, and an insufficient quantity,
are three factors that have raised
milk to the dignity of a political is
sue in New England, especially in
the crowded industrial State of Mas
sachusetts. In the midst of a short
age of the supply State officials have
been powerless to better the quality
of the supply. A condition now has
come about where it does not pay to
ship milk of good quality and the
farmer and dairyman who do so are
penaized.
To Offset this condition the sug-
gestion of grading milk, through
archaeological tests, is under con-
sideration. The plan is to classify
milk, in three grades, which may be
charged for accordingly. Then the
farmer who produces Grade A milk
will find it worth his while to do so,
and the farmer who ships Grade C
milk will find himself getting less
money for it: ~
Such a grading already has been
worked out in New York city. While
the Washington milk supply is by
no means so inadequate or so poor
in quality that any such measures
need be taken, Washington is in
terested in the milk situation be-
cause additional legislation to in
sure the purity of the city's supply
has been asked for. A chief prob.
lem here is that of the regulations
concerning shipping of milk. Nc
amount of care on the part Of the
dairy farmer, or by the retailer, will
insure pure milk unless the condi.
tions under which it is shipped are
favorable 10 purity. That is why
Washington is especially interested
not only in the Interstate Commerce
Commissions rate making for milk
shipments, but in State regulations
concerning its cooling and cleanli.
ness.

SOME DANGEROUS ARGUMENTS

Arguments of those pacifsts who
would pay grand opera prices for
peace take many curious quirks and
turns. Each new advocate, to as
sure himself a hearing, feels called
upon to attack the subject from a
new angle. That accounts for the
remarkable collection of mushroom
ideas on this subject.
Some of the arguments are absurd
on their face, but others, just as alb
surd, are calculated to catch the
unwary and the unthinking. OF the
latter type is the propaganda being
spread by one group of Washington
women who appeal to the 1aboring
men not to take any part in military
training, and charge that the capital
iStS. the factory owners, and mine
