 Eleven years ago, Essex Park was closed from public patronage after tha course had been put into shape for racing Since that time the stables began to crumble, the fences were down, and the grand stand and pad dock began 10 show signs of decay. The club house remained intact.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
 JlINS DRY TERRITORY
CONGRESS PASSES BILL FRO. MEETING OPERATION OF SA-
 LOOMS AFTER NOVEMBER I.

Washington. Feb. S-Prohibition won a double victory in congress to- might when the house passed by 8 vote of 273 to 137 the senate bill to make the national capital dry and senate and house Conferees on the postal appropriation unexpectedly an- nounced an agreement under which
 the Reed "bone dry' amendment is virtually assured of enactment
 Hope of agreeing on the postal sup lIly measure had been abandoned by Ne conferees who last night submit ted\a resolution to continue existing posta1 appropriations for another year J Tonight, however, they got to- getIr on report which includes the Ied amendment prohibiting ship >ment of liquor into prohibition states
 and which they expect to present in
 both houses tomorrow or Friday The leaders thought tonight there
 was no doubt of it's acceptance in the senate and house, They are taking it for granted too that President Wilson will approve both that and the Dis
 trict of Columbia prohibition bill
 The district bill which would be- come effective November 1, Was brought to a vote after stubborn op- position had delayed for several hours Inc final roll call which the leaders knew would mean passage All da and until late in the evening they stood by their guns eXhausting every parliamentary eXpcdicnt to ward off action and watching for an opportun- fly to put the measure into a position that would mean it's failure with the expiration of the session Sunday Failing 10 displace the bill or to
 force an adjournment. the filibuster. CTS centered their attention on an ef- fort to add amendments Chat would
 throw it into conference and prevent enactment at this session They made their last vain stand on an amendment that would have given Che people of the District a refeTan- dunn on the proposal and would have put into the measure provision pro- hibitmg importation of liquor for per sonal use.
 Debate on the measure had been
 limited by the drastic rule under which it had been brought up so that
 the usual dramatic feature of nl1us- tering strategy were replaced by long
 roll calls forced by the opposition ou
 repeated motions to give some other
 bill the right of way. After several
 hours the prohibition champions de-
 spaired of passing at all the house
 bin reported from the District of Col
 umbia committee with numerous
 amendments and adopted special
 rule substituting the senate bill
 Chairman Henry of the rules com
 mittee led the fight for the sNets"
 \ member of twenty years and the veteran of many floor battles, he went
 into the fight representing only small minority of his committee. He
 kept the bill from coming up on the
 floor until after noon by fihhustering On a minor judgeship measure He had a handful of other bills ready to
 bring up when Representative Harri. son, another member of the rules com

THERE ARE THREE WAYS.

We all realize now that within an. other year there win have been bnilt from Memphis to Texa9kana high way leading across the state and which is general connecting link be. tween other highways.
 We do not seem to grasp the impor. tanee of the situation to us. There seems to be general self satisfied viewpoint that if such highway is bn'lt. or when it is built, 1t will come through Hot Springs.
 There are three proposed routes for such line, and one of them leads through Hot Springs, and two Of then do not lead through Hot Springs. One plan is for the highway to come on from Memphis to Little Rock on the general plan sugges ed, but from Little Rock to strike more parallel the Iron Mountain railroad and to pass through Malvern in tead of this resort.
 Another pan is for the highway to strike mere southWard in eastern Art- ansas, to connect with the splendid bikes of Jefferson county, then to tap the splendid bikes of Grant county, and to connect again with the Iron Mountain railroad parallel roadway somewhere in the vicinity of Arkadel- phia.
 If either cf the latter plans were adopted Hot Springs would not be on the most important highway in the state.

Joe Benz, Red Faber and George

HARD WORK To
PICK PLAYERS
Fans Are at a Loss To De-
termine Just Who Are
the Best PLAYERS.

Picking the leading baseball player
in a named position is a man-sized
task To draw a comparison between
certain players is overstepping the
bounds Of sane criticism at times. To
say that Babe Ruth or Walter John
son or Grover Alexander is the best
pitcher in the game might be true.
but it would be sure TO start an argu-
ment over the merits Of his rivals.
For instance, It can hardly be said
that Arthur Fletcher or Roger Horns
by is the best shortstop in the Ma
tioual league merely because IL Is
true that they lead as hitters. Neither
can it be said that Meanwhile or Ban
croft or Workman is the best because
he is a flashy. fast and accurate
fielder Each mans worth has 70 be
