1t is called the passport BILL" but
this title is misleading. Il is in
tended to revive a British Tory prac-
tice which survived under the House
Of Hanover, when the kingdom might
be declared closed, so that no one
could leave II without a royal per-
NIT, while political fugitives were
being hunted down-some for the
headsman's ak and some for export
to the American colonies, TO be sold
at auction as bound servants" II
has been said by one of the biograph-
ers Of "Stonewall Jackson" (who
was not a "Cavalier'O that his fam
fly in Virginia began with ancestors
thus sold at auction. Under this bill
the whole country would be declared
closed, and no one could leave IL
without a permit from Washington.
This has nothing to do with pass
ports" as real American passports
are intended to guarantee the safety
OF Americans going abroad against
foreign oppression. A survival Of
the protest against this me exeat"
practice may be found in the first
constitution Of Mississippi which
guaranteed to every law-abiding
resident OF the State who did not
like it, his full liberty to leave it
when he liked. Later, this may have
seemed to be humorous-but only to
those who have not learned how all
that is worst is sure TO be revived
In politics from generation TO genera

II is hoped that politics will never
be worse in America than the kind
which developed further at the Cap
itol Yesterday Both parties, as they
prepare for the coming Congressional
campaign, are losing the power to
use "camoufiage" successfully. Sen
ator McCumber, in what is probably
his best effort Of the session, rose
above the speeches which have been
made under inspiration Of local ami
mosities now threatening sanity in
the Northwest He spoke with real
ability, often with truth and effec-
tiveness, but this was an incident Of
a political purpose which can appeal
to reason and disinterestedness no
more than the spirit he attacked.
Beginning with aeroplanes, his
speech as a whole merely served to
develop further the Republican plan
Of campaign, as IT is hoped to focus
opposition on Secretary Of War New
ton D. Baker.

suggestion of this situation can be
given without going into detail here
impossible. The suggestion is this:
The Military Affairs Committee Of
the Senate is controlled by Secre--
tary Bakers enemies-some OF
whom are irrationally bitter.
Others, expert in all that is highest
land lowestl in American politics,
are not less hostile to the Secretary,
but their hostility is political, and
they have the full use of their
brains in connection with it. The
Republican general plan Of cam
paign, as far as it has developed,
is to try to be more extreme in
everything that concerns the war
than the Administration can be.

Magdalcna, \. NJ, July lI.-~IeX
Austin. manager of the Round-up,
which will take place here August
7-11 TODAY received a message from
Hugh j. strickland, formerly OF Fort
Worth, Tex, now doing the riding
stunts for Douglas Fairbanks in the
movies, stating that he' (Stricklahd)
would wager 1000 that he could rlae
and scratch the famous Albuquerque
bucking outlaw horse, Dunn Gone,
at the Roundup here.
"Dunne Gone" is the famous bucker
belonging to Miss Jerry King of Albu-
queruue, and the horse has made VIC
tins of many of the best riders in the
world, including Tex Parker and Leon
ard Stroud. two of the greatest buck
ing horse riders who ever mounted
the hurrican deck of bucking out
law.
Hugh ]. Strickland was the winner
of first money in the bucking horse
riding at the Cheyenne Frontier days
contest at Cheyenne, Wyo. in 1916,
winning it with the title of world $
champion broncho tlster, and losing
it two weeks later to Emery La
Grande of Medicine Hat, Alta, can
ada, at the New York Stampede.
Strickland looked like an easy bet
to retain his title at the stampede,
but was injured in the wild horse race
and to this he attributes his defeat.
1t is understood that Fairbanks is
backing Strickland in the matter OF
trying to ride "Dunne Gone" and II
is barely possible that Fairbanks may
be present himself when the contest
takes place. Mr.. Austin Immediately
got in touch with Miss King by wire
and articles of agreement are being
drawn.

also, as was expected, have brought
up fresh forces in an endeavor to
push forward their project in this
region. There is a veritable deluge
of shells from the guns of both sides
along the entire Marne front.
On the British front in northern
France and Flanders the Germans are
keeping mp violent bombardments on
various sectors using both gas and
high explosive shells. Gas has been
used extensively on the Nillers- Bre-
tonneauX sector, where the British
for several days past have been de-
livering successful patrol attacks and
taking prisoners. The Albert sector
is coming in for an increased shower
of shells of all kinds. Nowhere, how
ever, has the German command seen
fit as yet to start an infantry engage
ment, if one is contemplated.
In Albania the French and Italian
troops continue to mass progress
against the Austrians, and in the ltal-
ian sector, up in the mountains, re-
