perior court, II attracted much IA
vorable attention by his judicial abili-
ty. In 1908 Poindexter was elected as
a representative from the state of
Washington to the Sixty-first Congress.
He soon became known as an able, pro-
gressive Republican. In the senate, to
which he was elevated in 1910, he was
a staInch advocate of measures favor
ing the control and restriction of big
corporations, especially of the rail-
roads. He sought the conservation of
all natural of the country,
including water power, coal and oil
lands. Before the war he stood strong
~ for preparedness, and later he Wig
orously supported all measures of the
administration for the protection of
American rights. He advocated throw
ing the whole power of the nation into
the successful prosecution of the war.
Mr.. Poindexter believes that Bolshe-
vism and all other movements destruc-
tive of representative government and
national spirit should be strongly TAX
en- in hand and that leaders in at
tempts to overthrow our institutions
should be severely punished. He is
opposed to any scheme for creating a
hybrid government of the world where
by Europe and Asia, in his opinion,
would inevitably dominate this country
and control its policies.
Hiram Johnson, a native of Califor-
mia, was governor of the state before
he was chose1 senator. He is extreme
ly popular in hat commonwealth and
will be strongly backed in his fight for
the Presidential nomination.

struggle, in Kidding California OF the

will IT CAPTURE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 1920?

"The political center of gravity in
the nation has shifted i" to the
states that lie between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Coast"-New
York Times editorial.
This opinion is typical of an Idea
which is rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There is a feeling that
"the West Is in the saddle for the
presidential nomination in 1920"
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential election has made it
4 potent factor in future calculations
Moreover, the politicians know that in
case the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment does not become operative
in time for the next national election
there are, nevertheless, 16 states west
of the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add
Ing an increment of some six million
votes, which might easily turn the cleo
ton one way or the other. Hence, the
Republican leaders of the East as well
as of the West are seriously consider
ing whether it would not be good poll
tics to take a western candidate.
1t is significant that three of the
most generally talked about presiden-
tial possibilities for 1920 come from
the Far West. They are United States
Senators Poindexter, Borah and John
son.
The first mentioned, about whom
considerable discussion is o center
Ing, is from the state of Washington.
Though a native of Tennessee and
graduate of a Virginia university,
Poindexter chose the Pacific North
west as his field for life work, opening
a law practice in Walla Walla, Wash,

The following terse statements is,

Fire losses i'll the United States and
Canada in 1915 were S227, 5000,
most of them due to carelessness.
Fire losses and the EOS of fire pre-
v%ention in the United States amount
annually to $45O,OO0,O 600, or more
than the total American production
of gold, silver, copper and petroleum
in a a
The cost of fires each year is one
half the cost of all the new buildings
erected in a year.
The annual. per capita fire waste in
the United States is $2.51, in Europe,
33c. Cause: The latter has better
construction, less carelessness, in
creased responsibility.
Defective fiues are responsible for
IL per cent of all the fires.
All fires are the same size at their
start. Every second counts, so be
prepared.
An ounce Of fire prevention is
worth a pound of fire extingisher.
In writing on the significance of fire
waste Mr.. Wentworth says hat "the
fire waste touches the pocket of every
man, woman anu child in the nation
it strikes as surely but as quietly as
Indirect taxation it merges with the

the work of mems hands means the
inevitable impoverishment of the ma
ton. What if we were to lose that
sum annually out of the national treas
ury or in wheat. or corn, or cotton?
A loss of $3.50 00, 900 per year means
$500 per minute for every hour of the

and without h sanction and support
of this great power candidates for
state or judicial offices could not be
elected. Johnson, first as counsel for
interests opposing he railroad corpo-
ration and later as governor, waged a
bitter and unremitting warfare against
railroad domination. His final victory
was a potent factor in his election to
the senate in 1916. Johnson is a Re-
publican, but generally regarded as
one of the radical type. He has, like
Poindexter, strongly opposed the
League of Nations.
Senator William e. Borah of Idaho
does not differ greatly in the degree of
his achievements from the two other
westerners. Born in Wayne county,
ILL.,, BOrah was educated in the COM
mon schools of hat state and at Kan
sas State University. He vas admit
ted to the bar in 1890 and devoted his
time to legal practice until his election
to the senate in 1907. Borah is N of
the most active figures in the United
States senate. His efforts largely have
been directed toward the proper de-.
velOpment of the great natural re,
sources of the country, especially of
the West. He is known as a progress
sive Republican, fearless in fighting
for what he believes to be right and,
like the others included in this presi-
dental group, has opposed from the
start the League of Nations covenant.

The Mohawk Athletic Club are put

champion gridironers of 1916 and 1877
intend to foster athletics m all branch
es, and the membership rolls are open
to all athletes in this vicinity.
The Indians" as they were well
known. captured both baseball and
football titles in the District of Co
lumbia during the years mentioned
above. but the fact that the great
majority OF members were enlisted to
help Uncle Sam in the disturbance on
the European field of battle. the or
ganization almost went to naught.
During the absence of the majority
OF athletes. who can be named in all
lines and branches of sports. the wee
few kept the club going through per-
sonal efforts in which they were COM
PEELED to give both time and money
so that the banner of the Mohawk
might exist here i'm the District as
well as on the field of France.
All former members are urged by
Secretary J. T.. White to re-register

Jess Willard may not have gone TO

Prices Of horses and harness may
vary. but the animals living quarters

Some OF the birds who refused to

ring that his feet would have rung
up so when he lit on the cash reg
lister in Richards office outside the
arena.

good enough for Joey Ray. for that
speedy gentleman has achieved fame
by sticking to it, especially in the l0c.
