Let the masher beware!
The police chief, the cops and the

officers will evade the law, but the law
can ba stretched, and, in case Mr..
Washer appears at police headquarters
with a blackeye or with buckshot in
any part Of his anatomy IT might be he
will get nothing but sympathy
In short, there is a campaign under
way against the street and dance hall
masher. The fellow who endeavors to
impress upon the girls the charm Of
his manner without an Introduction
isn't likely to get much relief thru the
courts. providing it can be proven the
girl resented the attention. So when
a fellow does any winking or any flirt-
ing he'd better look close to ascertain
IL the girl really dropped her right
eye lash in return.
What Chief Thinks.
you know my opinion about
Washers" said Police Chief George
That's it,"
Further than to describe the masher
in the above forceful manner, the
police chief refused to commit him
self. He wouldn't say how far he
would go in furnishing the man who
punched the masher nor uld he
say just how much influence might be
exerted on the police Judge should
the masher- with-the black eye or
with-the-buckshot- where-it-sh ouldn't-
be, demand a warrant.
Warns Against Shooting.
There should be no shooting"
said the chief. Shooting above the
legs is especially dangerous"
AS for Police Judge Hugh McFar-
land: He is non-committal and won't
sympathize with the unmarried men
in his own class. The police judge
has a car and a good sized pocketbook
necessary for an up-to-date masher
who pushes his attention on girls

vice to young men, "and IL they're
willing take them out for a ride or
a soda but don't bother them until
you're absolutely sure they haven't
an ardent gentleman friend or until
you're sure they want you to talk to

RAvAGES OF WAR
LOSS TO CATHOLICISM FROM
WAR is DESCRIBED BY UNlVER-
sITY PROFESSOR.

The Rev. DR.. Charles F. Aiken
member of the faculty of the Cath-
olic University at Washington, writes
in the current Ecclesiastical Review
an article, as interesting as 1t is Tune
w. on The Loss and Gain to Cathol-
icism From the War.
After briefly noting the tremend-
Gus changes which the war is lntro-
ducing in Europe, the scholarly writer
begins to weigh in the balance the loss
and gain to the Church.
1t is startling to reflect that OF the
five million and more able-bodled men
belonging to the Western nations
who have been killed, probably one
half were Catholics. When we add to
these millions, the untold numbers OF
non-combatants who have persisted
through violence, famine, plague and
other causes we can realize how heavy
the penalty the war has eXacted from
the Church. In every nation, the
Church mourns the loss of the very
flower of Catholic manhood.
Equally severe has been the drain
on the priesthood of the Church.
Whilst exempt in every country ex-
cept France and Italy from actually
bearing arms, the priesthood OF every
nation has sought the post of danger
in their work of religion and mercy
and many of them have paid with
their lives the price of their zeal.
But it is the Church in France that
has Jared the worst through the loss
of her priestly sons.
DR.. Aiken declares that thirty
thousand is a conservative estimate
of the priests of France in the fighting
ranks.

in Congress four years ago. fs the
democratic candidate. and pitted against
him as the republican candidate is Judge

There is a red-hot finish to the New

enth son would risk his reputation
for prophecy by attempting to predict
the result of the voting next Tues

one another to make any forecast
possible. New Jersey is normally re-
publican. and if this were a campaign
of the traditional sort the republican
candidate. Newton A. X. Bugbee.

are some republicans who say that

HOLD SENATOR HARDING
!. IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Friends Explain Action of Ohio
Republican Committee in Indors-
ing Him for Senate.

Friends of Senator Harding Of Ohio
declare that press dispatches from
Columbus, giving the impression that
the senator is not to be considered
a candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation, and will only be a candidate
for reelection to the Senate. conveyed
an erroneous impression. The fact is
stated to be that Senator Harding
distinctly declined to permit himself
to be ruled out of the possible runs
ming for the presidency. That entry
is still left open.
Statement in Explanation.
Ohio republicans here who are
familiar with the details of the sit
uatfon leading to the action of the
state central committee in indorsing
Senator Harding for reelection to
the Senate relate the incidents pre-
ceding the meeting of the. state com
mittee. II is asserted that friends
of Gen. Leonard Wood, anxious to
advance his interests in Ohio, sug-
gested to the state committee and
the advisory committee that Senator
Harding should choose between the
candidacfes for the presidency and
Senator Harding in a letter to the
state committee repudiated the right
of the committee to demand that he
foreclose in either ease. although he
announced his personal preference for
the senatorship. His friends declare
this action was I'm the nature OF sup
porting his hackers in Ohio. and not
virtually relinquishing that state to
another faction of republicans who
had another presidential candidate in
sight as their choice.

Legislative Contests Close.

The contests for the two houses Of
the Legislature are also close. There
will be some surprises on the eastern
shore, not only in the Legislative
fights, but also in the vote of several
counties on the state ticket.
Republican State Chairman Galen N
TAFT today charged that the demo-
Gratis have adopted trick ballots in
Prince Georges, st. Marys. Charles and
Worcester counties. In making pub
lie his charges Mr.. TAFT calls attention
to the fact that the supervisors of cleo
tion come under the direction of Mr.
law Is their adviser. OF the four coun-
ties named Prince Georges offers the
least confusing ballot. Here the can
didates for judges of the orphans
court are given the top position on the
ballot. being considered by the demo-
cratic supervisors as of more i'm
p0rtance than those for governor
Several other county candidates fol-
low, the state candidates being placed
far down the line.
The most complicated ballot is that
in Charles county, where there is a
heavy voting population of negroes.
1t. is just three inches short of being
three feet long. Here also the names
of candidates are not placed in the
order of Importance Of the Offices for
which they are running. To vote for a
candidate the voter must follow line
travelling over wide expanse of
paper.
The republicans claim that the trick
ballots violate the spirit if not the
letter of the law, and are intended to
recoup losses sustained through the
repeal of the Wilson ballot law by the
last legislature.
