In another column of this issue
of the PRESS, appears the an
nouncement of M. II. HOLLINGS-
WORTH, who is running as an In,
dependent Republican Candidate
for Attorney General, and to which
announcement we call the attention
of the readers Of this paper.
As we have heretofore stated it
is not the the purpose of the pub
Usher of this paper to give COM
ments on the candidacy of any man
just because he puts 1t his announce
-ment, for the reason it bears the
semblance of selling an opinion,
and that will not be done, but we
take the pleasure of commenting as
we see fit, and as to Mr. Hollings-
worth, will say, he has made rep
utation in Campbell County for
law enforcement, and to the dis
comtiture of some people has made
it warm for the moon-shiners' and
boot-leggers, and while of course
we don't know how his candidacy
will be accepted, we feel constrain-
ed to say that if the period has
arrived in our County that people
are tired of left-shoulder nudges
and winks by officials at law-break-
ers, in order to maintain their friend
ship, and tired of policies whereby
men in official positions use such
positions TO favor and protect their
friends, when they break the law,
and punish their offenders at every
opportunity, when they offend in "a
political way, and tired in fact of
the policy of " the survival of the
and the time has arrived
when they are going to believe IN a
strict, impartial and fair execution
of the law regardless as to whether

Peking is wonderful city, il
simply beggars description, one
cannon really appreciate its beauty
it's splendor and the romance of its
temples and palaces by the cursory
/ examination which we were com
PEELED, because of the short time at
our disposal to give it, but the pic
ture however imperfect will be a
most pleasant memory to which |
hope to ever be able to return and
review.
For five days we walked in and
out of temples and palaces; stood
before the sacred altar of Confus-
cius where his spirit is believed to
hover in silent benedictlon; kneel-
ed upon the altar of Heaven where
the emperor once year prayed for
one entire day and night; traversed
the courtyards and passed in and
out of sacred imperial buildings in
the Forbiddeed city; tramped over
the spacious grounds of the sum-
mer palaces; finally we climbed to
the top of the great wall of China
ran along it little ways and looked
down upon the surrounding coun-
try, on the mountains, hills and
valleys which have been the test
ing ground of Chinese civilization
for a thousand years. We did not
however confine our attention all
together to the old, We were able
to sandwich IN visits TO Peking
University, the Methodists Wo-
mans Hospital the new plant of
Union Medical College where two
millions of Mr. Rockefeller's money
is being wisely invested in new
buildings; the Using Hua College
where the indemnity modey so gen
erously returned to China is doing
so much to train the future leaders
of this country. Peking is truly a
wonderful city, one is the richer,
better for having seen it.
1t was therefore with consider
able reluctance that we turned
southward last Wednesday morn
lingo For two days and one night we
travelled by rail over as fertile a
plain as can be found anywhere in
the world. We were surprised at
the way in which irrigation was
brough about. The water was
pumped from shallow wells by
means of chain bucket pumps,
which were kept in motion by don
keys or oxen moving around in a
circle, you would be surprised at
The quantity of water that was be-
ing poured upon the fields in thif
manner and the vast areas that were
brought under cultivation.
We reached Hankow, large city

was that baseball experts were in com
plete accord on one point. After analyz.
ing the returns they agreed the score
was l to 0 m favor of Boston.
1t was a pitchers battle, Babe Ruth
winning. Vaughn is only a Cub. Ruth
is a bear.
A fleet of six aeroplanes sailed over
the park distraeting the attention Of tho
fans. The entertainment they offered
was far above baseball. About 1000
feet.
Fans asserted the Red Sox couljn' It
be ruthless if they we've Ruthless.
Twenty thousand fans paid $1.25 each
to see Babe Ruth in action. The players
got about $500 each from the same az
tivity.
The umpires proved mere pointers and
settlers. They pointed vaguely to the
odtfield for the film fiends and then
rested. Brick Owens flushed two fouls
in his territory.
Draft officials were evidently absent
and tho umpires had no work and the
players wouldn't start a fight.
