The many friends of Captain John

he is recovering rapidly from the in
juries which he sustained recently in
falling on the boat between Balti-
more and Norfolk. At first it was
feared that his injuries might be
serious, but a close examination
proved them to be only temporary.

Upon sober second thought it will
at once be recognized that President
Wilson did the right thing in turn
ing over the question of beer and
light wines to Congress. The Presi-
dent does not make laws, the law
making power is vested solely in
Congress, and the responsibility
rests with it whether or not it shall
enact law permitting the sale of
such liquors after July 1st. There
has been much clamor about the
President running the Democratic
Congress, and now, apparently, the
Republican Congress is anxious for
him to run it also.
Mr.. Charles F. Redmond, who

friends, all of whom will be delight
ed to hear of his good fortune in Sc
curing such recognition of marked
ability as is required to fill his new
position.
