If Sweden's legation at Argentina
acted as a secret channel for German
communication as has been claimed
then Sweden has perpetrated per
fidy of nations that calls for mots
drastic action by the allies. Argen-
tina will be shamefully insulted and
Sweden will be a Judas that would
justly call for disintegration as a
nation 1t hardy seems possible
Sweden has been a party to such
perfdy, and America judges not I'M

beaten in the election Tuesday two

ers take the defeat calmly and say it
is "only delayed" This is true, for

suffrage. If women want to vote,

OPENING OF Y. M. C. A.
TENNIS COURTS DELAYED

The opening of the Atherton tennis
courts by the Y. NJ. c. A. players is
necessarily postponed on account of
the heavy rain yesterday afternoon
and evening. A number of interesting
matches were scheduled for this aft
ernoon, when the courts we're to have
been officially opened.
After a careful inspection of the
courts this morning it was deemed in
advisable to play on them after the
thorough drenching they had just re-
.ceived Hence the opening will be de-.
layed until later date. The commit
tee in charge will make definite an
nouncement of the revised schedule
of opening matches some time today
or tomorrow.

Duke Will Not
Swin, In Meet
Champion Not Through With
aquatic Sport, But Wants to
Watch Them This Time

Duke Kahanamoku, worlds cham
riGn swimmer for the short distances,
viii not swim in the Carnival meet.
yesterday afternoon Duke said that
ne would not compete, and after ques-
tioning him for an hour on many
phases of swimming he adhered TO
mis- original statement that ne would
net compete in The meet this time.
Duke said that he is not through
with swimming and may possibly en-.
ter the next meet, but would not listen
70 any suggestions that he enter the
eicntS during the present Carnival.
Duke says that he wants to give the
other local boys chance to uphold
the konors in the swim, and that he
Goes not believe it is necessary for
HIN to enter every meet.
Many of the boys believe that Duke
is net in the best condition, and Duke
said yesterday afternoon that he did
not want to go into a race unless he
thought he could do justice to HIM
self, and although this had no bear
ing on his decision, it is known that
the local swimmers were not given
aid rubbers, and some of the boys
SAID after the meet that not one of
the Carnival committee as much as
thanked them for their participation
in the events.
This point should be taken care Of,
and ii. the boys are willing to give
their time and trouble of training
without any returns, the least the
Carnival committee could do is to
provide paid rubbers who will look
ate the swimmers In the past it has
3ean handled by friends of the boys,
gno when the swimmers needed a rub
down they got it or didn't according
- tie way the fellows felt about it.
Paid rubbers who will have TO do this
nork. and a little thanks at the con-
c!usion of the meet will do much to
5ocst the swimming game here. Duke
said yesterday that he believes the
aieet will be big success and has
confidence that Lane, Kelii and Kru-
ger viii uphold the honors Of Hawaii.

WATERToWN AND THE CATALRY BAND.

The Vienna Standard, commenting on a remark made by
a Watertown contemporary, concludes an article as follows:
ssThat reminds us: We furnished South Dakota
with its First Cavalry band, but the selfish people of
Watertown, not content with all the leading Offices,
now want credit for the band in which they have less
than half a dozen members. If you don't give a hog
everything it takes it-you can't blame them, it's their
nature

for il, but we do know this: that the people of WATERFOWL, as a
class, embracing from ninety to ninety-fve per cent. of the
population of the town, realize that the First Cavalry band is
q combination of musicians representing several cities and
towns OF the state and that WatertoWn's proportion of the
membership is comparatively small.
Another thing we know: the people of Watertown, rep
resentng from ninety to ninety-fve per cent. of the popula-
ton of the town, would rather have the good will of the people
of surrounding communities than their i'll will. Moreover,
they would rather have the friendship and cooperation of the.
people of neighbomng localities than to possess all the ssof-
fees that may or could be stacked upon a forty-acre lot and
go without this friendship and cooperation.
friendship and cooperation are essential to the success
OF any enterprlsing and progressive community. No man can
i've unto himself alone and be much of a man; neither can any
community live upon itself and at the same time enjoy material
prosperity and the fellowship Of its %neighbors.
We don't know what other papers have said about it, nor
what other people have done about il, but we call our conten-
porary's attention to the fact that The Saturday News has
repeatedly referred to the cavalry band as a Vienna insttu-
ton, with representatives from some Of the other cities and
towns of the state.
WatertoWn, we think, is just about as nearly human as is
Vienna, and we wouldn't be surprised so very much If its peo-
pie, We're the truth known, would average up, neither better
nor worse.
