Makes His Declaration

The following is the declara-
tion of d. c. Lewis, of st.
Johns, Republican candidate for
State Representative, which he
has forwarded to the Secretary
of the State:
For denomination:
The paramount issue, at this
time. is the war and how to win
it. Peace, with honor to our
country, and to this end every
energy of the people should be
bent, and every power of the
State exerted. Those who have
gone to the front, or are prepar-
ing to do so, and those to follow,
until victory comes, must be
cared for. and every protection
possible thrown around them
and every right safeguarded and
guaranteed-no sacrifice is too
great.
Among other things let the
right of the ballot go with them
as an object lesson to the world
of the fairness of our institu-
tions. Generous provisions
should be made for their de-
pendents. and in doing these
things let us not forget the old
er boys, now turned grey, who
fought our battles before.
As | now see the situation,
very little legislation is needed.
would rather prevent the pas.
sage Of a bad bill than stand
sponsor for new legislation of
an experimental character. If
experience and time have dem.
onstrated that any of our laws
are unworkable. clumsy, expen.
sive or lacking in some essen.
tial. such laws should be amend.
ed or repealed.
In the past have favored and
worked for Legislation looking TO

importance of Portland as a

LEMONADE BARRED
FOR PICIC EVENTS

Atlanta, Ga, August 24-The fool
administration OF the state has firmly
set its foot down on the serving OF
lemonade at picnics, even at patriot
ic gatherings. The use of the sugar
at such patriotic gatherings would be
paradoxical, to say the least of it,
according to the Food Administra-
tons view point, as the sugar is bad
ly needed overseas and in this coun-
try too.
The regulations regarding the pub
lie serving Of sugar are being rigid
ly enforced, but in most places the
public is observing the rule willing
ly and voluntarily. The food admin
istration has further ruled that sugar
shall be served in public restaurt
ants andboarding houses only on re-
quest and that then only a teaspoon
full or two Jumps shall be allowed.
The work of the administration
becoming more and more difficult
is expanding with great rapidity, and
becoming more and more difficult;
but everywhere the officials of the
administration are being praised for
their fair and efficient handling of
the situation.

A certain hospitable bishop had in

week end party at the Episcopal resi-

The first morning at breakfast as the
visiting bishop was about to crack the

and. turning to the butler who was
standing at the back of his chair, he
said. all the while holding his fingers
tightly to his nose:

BAUGH AGAINST

NEXT SEASON
League President Looks on
Gloomy Side of Picture as
Usual.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 70. (SpI)-
Before President Baugh left Birming-
ham for Peoria, he gave out the fol-
lowing interview, in which he declares
he is against baseball next season. How
ever, the club owners will decide the
matter for themselves at the meeting
TO be called Dec. Is. Baugh's inter-
view fellows:
1T is doubtful that even with peace
that baseball in the South will be sue
cessful for the coming year. The war
has caused a general disorganization
of organized baseball as well as all
other sports and also business, and
there Will have to be a reconstruction
period in which affairs can be shaped
up in order to reach a normal stage,
and | think 1t will take at least a year
TO do his.
Baseball players have been scat
tered to the four winds of the world.
Some have Joined the Colors and are
with u forces over the seas. Some
have good positions in s~hipyards and
other war industries and others as

Must Break Even.
"A baseball league can not be sue
cessful unless the clubs rave sufficient
patronage to at least break even. The
Southern league towns are such dis
tances apart that with the increase of
railroad and pullman fares, hotel rates,
the high price of all baseball goods,
such as uniforms, sweaters, baseballs,
bats, etc, and the increased prices
that will have to be paid to park m
ployes and the upkeep of parks,
think it would be unwise to open the
1918 season in the Southern league.
However, this is only my own opin-
ion.
II expect to send out notices of the
annual meeting which is to be held in
Birmingham Dec. Is, Immediately upon
my return from Peoria, and let the
clubs decide themselves whether they

more dyed-in-the-wool fans thar ever

they'll know more baseball than be-

game Will be more attractive to them
