morrow Is somewhat diminished be-
cause Of the doubt that has arisen in
many minds whether the sport is on
the square, and the players are putting
forth their best efforts.
In all likelihood the sport has been
purged of its crookedness by the re-
cent developments and punishments.
There are only a few men in base ball
who are dishonest. The temptations.
it is true, are great, but they are not
great enough to cause many of the
participants in the game to do crook
ed work for the sake Of the profess
sional gamblers. These men make big
money playing base ball six months in
the year. Their average income is
far above that which they could prob
ably earn at any other occupation.
They realize now, If they did not be-
fore, that it is hazardous in the eX-
IRENE to risk this earning power by
taking even a large sum Of money as
a bride for throwing" games. The
liCii WIZ iishNS oCSii 1SSdSSu AZ ChA-
cago, some of whom have confessed,
got in most cases less than years
legitimate pay for their crooked work.
Probably no one of those men will
ever again be employed in professional
sport. They have killed the goose
that laid the golden egg.
AS for the teams that meet tonor.
row. they are new contenders in the
world championship contest. One of
them, Brooklyn, has before reached
the point Of league championship. but
has never won the big title. This is
Cleveland's first pennant after many
years Of effort, and after a season
marked by deplorable tragedy which
gravely weakened the team and for a
time seemed certain to cost them the
victory. Against neither of these two
teams has the breath of scandal ever
been blown, and there is no reason
why the contest between them should
not be as interesting and exciting as
a world series usually is.

A Memorial Auditorium.

AFTER many years OF euOII d pfOS'
pect appears for the early consumma-
ton Of the plan to provide great
auditorium structure in this city for
purposes of large public assembly. The
supreme board of directors. knights
of Columbus, has decided to offer
$4,000, 900 from the war funds Of that
organization to the American Legion
to erect in Washington an American
Legion war memorial and public well
fare building that will serve as head
quarters of the great veterans organi-
zation and as a place of assembly ca
pable Of accommodating 10000 to co.
geo persons. The plan is to provide
quarters in this building for various
patriotic organizations, especially
those whose membership comprises
veterans of the wars in which the
United States has participated.
Success Of this plan does not de-
pend upon the raising Of great sub
scription. The knights Of Columbus
have the money now in hand, part Of
the $40.0oo.000 given to them during
the war by members and by the gen.
eral public for the welfare work of
the organization. The supreme board
Of directors contemplates that this
building will be memorial to the
hero dead Of America land an inspira.
ton to the living and the future gen.
erations. who will see in it symbol of
sacrifice Of those dead and find in It
an incentive to serve their country as
unselfishly in the future
1t is a generous act for the knights
Of Columbus to tender this great fund
to the American Legion, in whom the
titla 70 the building will be vested.
ana 1t is to be expected that the offer
will be accepted in the spirit in which
it is made. Already expressions Of ap-
prevail have been given by the local
officers of the legion. The decision for
the acceptance of this noble gift rests,
Of course. with the nationa. organiza.
tion, whose headquarters are now To-
Gated in Indianapolis. Acceptance and
the construction Of the proposed build
ing will probably mean the transfer
Of those headquarters to Washington.
Ind the establishment here Of all the
activities Of this great body Of vet.
rams, in itself notable addition to
Washington. But best of all will be
the creation at the capital of a struc-
Nre that will serve a useful and
vitality necessary municipal purpose,
and will also be an inspiration to
American citizenship.
The knights of Columbus have
earned the gratitude Of the American
people by this gift, so unselnshly Of.
fered and conceived in so high spirit
Of patriotism.

Picturesque Stumping.

Col. Roosevelt-young Teddy-enters
the Kentucky campaign this week
horseback, the guest Of Gov. Morrow,
who will accompany him on tour.
Together, they will canvass what is
called the mountain country. where
the republicans are very strong. The
one unfailing republican Congress dis
trict in the state is composed Of noun.
tain counties. and when that district
is feeling good it rolls up a large re.
publican majority. This year the re.
publicans are striving for every pos.
sible vote. Their hope of carrying the
state for Harding is socketed in get.
ting out the mountain strength.
1t is a rough country, with no rail.
roads and few good dirt roads. Trails
are the rule. Hence the taking to the
saddle by Gov. Morrow and his guest.
Assigning young Teddy to this work
was a happy thought, and shows how
thorough the republican management
is. The mountain men. being out.
door men themselves, much in the
saddle and good on trigger, know
from hearsay all about the original
Teddy-about his horsemanship, his
craftsmanship and how he enjoyed
the trail and the chase. They would
have ridden miles to see him, and at
his meetings warmed his heart with
huzzas.
So the calculation is that the son,
paying them the compliment Of visit,
and coming on the back of a sure.
footed nag, will rouse them to their
best election endeavors. and help
along the plans for getting them all
to the polls on election day.
Gov. Morrow is the right escort. He
is popular with the mountain men,
and his forty thousand majority in
the race last year was largely due to
the interest they took in his cam.
paign.

A Bomb Suspect.

A man was captured In Pittsburgh
yesterday who is believed to have had
some connection with or at least some
knowledge OF the plot that led to the
Wall street explosion Of September 16.
He was spotted" on a train from
Cincinnati by former government
agent who overheard enough Of his
conversation with his companion to
cause him to suspect a queer connec-
ton. He followed him to his hotel in
Pittsburgh and notified the police,
who took the suspect under. arrest
after a violent struggle and found in
his room suit case containing dyna-
mite. percussion caps and fuse. The
prisoner. it is reported. later remarked.
See what we did in Wall street: next
time it will be bigger and more ter
rible; the last was only a start"
This may possibly be the clue that
leads to the solution Of the Wall street
mystery. Unless the man was fax
ing, or boasting, it would seem that
he had some knowledge Of the con.
spiracy that cost the lives Of thirty
seven people. 1t is hard to conceive
why any one should brag Of such
knowledge. Again it is difficult to un-
derstand why a man should travel
about with such dangerous stun in his
baggage.
One of the remarks Of this prisoner
was significant. He said that he was
a native Of Russian Poland, having
come here seven years ago, and had
no intention of becoming a citizen.
All that could be done with him, he
said, would be to send him back to
Russia. Perhaps that is true. I'm.
less he is definitely linked up with the
Wall street plot, in which case he may
be sent to some other place than Rus.
STA, even less comfortable.

Ger confidence complete.

The friendship has no wings.

GIFTED SPEAKER TO
TALK ON BOLSHEVISM
David Goldstein, Writer and Lecturer,
to Speak in Auditorium Next
Monday Evening.

Leo council of the Knights of Columbus
announces that Brattleboro is to be in
cluded in the reconstruction program of
the knights of Columbus for the per-
petuation of American institutions and
Christian civilization. On Monday, Feb.
l6, David Goldstein, secretary of the
Boston School of Political Economy, will
speak in the Auditorium at p. m. on
Bolshevism: What 1t Is: The Remedy
for 1t.
Mr.. Goldstein is an expert on sociolog-
zeal problems. His latest book, Bolshe-
vism: It's Cure, issued in collaboration
with Mrs. Martha Moore Avery, is con-
sidered masterpiece, its powerful argu-
ments are concisely written, and inter-
estingly put to curb the spread of So
cialism throughout our country.
In appreciation of his Chautauqua
work it was said that "AIr. Goldstein is
an interesting speaker, gifted with a
keen. penetrating intellect, a marvellous
flow of language, and trenchant,' al
most cold blooded, way of driving fact
after fact right home to his hearers. He
does not mince words, and every sentence
he utters is given in a way that almost
forces assent"
The address will be followed by quiz
zing period, during which the speaker
will reply to questions, verbal or writ
ten, from anyone in the audience, on
any phase of the subject.
Speaking of Mr.. Goldstein's work in
San Francisco, the Monitor says:
There were 5000 people in Dreamland
pavilion last night That immense audi,
torium and its spacious galleries were
packed to the doors. Mr.. Goldstein's
lecture was more than a lecture. 1t was
spectacle and a debate man
| against hundreds To see that little Ma
poleon of the platform marshalling his
forces-facts, facts, facts against the
guerilla warfare of his enemies, and mer
cilessly moving them down till they
were fiattened like wheatfield after 6
cyclone, was an intellectual treat and {
sportsman's joy"
Mr. Goldstein spoke here in 1916 t.
an enthusiastic audience of 600 people
His latest lecture on Bolshevism has beer
favorably commented upon by the pres
wherever he has appeared.
The admission is free to all-no collec

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for II years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid ivers-
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a dark brown mouth p
bad breath-a dull, tired feeling sick
headache-torpid liver-constipation,
you'll find quick, sure and pleasant re-
suits from one or two of DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take them overnight Just
to keep right. Try them l0c and 25c.

The peaIferv

A very ancient instrument which
was In general use by the Hebrews, is
spoken of In the Psalms. Il belonged
to the harp species, but was much
smaller than the harp as we know 1t,
probably more like the dulcimer in
size, but there is a difference of opin-
ion as to whether the strings were
plucked or struck.
