Lottery and Handbook.

A new wrinkle in the lottery game
has been uncovered by the police, and
an arrest has been made. There is
little variation in fact between these
schemes to absorb. the money OF peo-
pie who think they can get something
for little or nothing. In this case the
purchaser Of a chance takes choice OF
a circled series of semi-perforations
each bearing a girls name, beneath
which is a number. The winning num-
ber is printed in central semi-per-
foration. Judging from the descrip-
ton given by the police there is little
doubt that this is a lottery, just as
much SO as the old-time game of pol
ICY"
But while the police are haling the
lottery gamester to Jail the hand
book makers are practicing their wiles
and pulling in the dollars of the folks
who think they can beat them. Every
now and then an arrest is made. but
not for a long. long time has hand
book maker gone ''cver the road" The
reason is that convictions cannot be
had in court. Just why is somewhat
Of a mystery. Jury trials are de-
manded and thus delay is effected.
Witnesses dispense, perhaps naturally.
perhaps by design. When the time
comes to try the cases the police as
prosecutors are handicapped.
The police force has done excellent
work, in conjunction with Department
Of Justice officials. in rounding up
these gamesters. Yet it is commonly
asserted that anybody who wants to
lay bet on a horse race run some
where in Mexico or elsewhere that is
distant can easily find a taker for his
money. An official announcement of
the number OF handbook men arrested
during the past five years and the
number convicted would be an inter-
esting exhibit.

Of promise: that we shall emerge from
our difficulties sooner and in better

This appraisement Of America is
about right. Heavily burdened as we
now are, we can carry the load, and
tighten it as we 90 along. Neverthe-
less, the next Congress should see to it
that our gates are more carefully
guarded than hitherto, and that the
number of undesirables slipping

The laws on that point can be ma

Backing a Man.

Tuesday was governors day at
Marion. Among those present was
Gov. Lowden of Illinois. He acted as
spokesman for the visitors. In his ad-
dress to Mr.. Harding he said:
I'VE admire you for, the diehity and
the self-restraint with which you dis
cuss public questions. We. approve
most heartily the devotion yoif have
to constitutional government.-.i We
not only admire your public utter
ances. but we applaud your silences.
We like you because you do not re-
sort to charges against the opposition,
and 1t IS entirely beyond me to ex-
press the regard we feel for you be-
cause you do not hold out false prom
ises to the people. We are glad you
do not believe there is an alchemy in
government by which men can be
made happy and prosperous without
the principles of the old-fashi ioned vir.

American Sea Power.

Asked at Marion yesterday about
the American merchant marine and
some current criticism of the law on
the books intended to promote its in
terests, Mr.. Harding said:
Il am not prepared to discuss the
effect of the shipping bill on existing
commercial treaties. The bill was en-.
acted while / was involved in the pre-
convention campaign. / voted for the
measure. l never resisted the policy
of favoring American bottoms 1t is
my own Judgment thet1the sonly way,
we can ever fairly promote an Ameri-
can merchant marinee is to- take cog
nizance of the specifcs requirements
of our shipping which competing ma
tions do not reQufres and 1djust our
selves to that situation In favoring
contracts for the trans mission of mail.
and other public business"
In other words.r Mr. Harding is for
an American merchant. marine, to
serve primarily and in every legiti-
mate way American interests. He
subscribes to the purpose to make
America a strong and independent sea
carrying power. to- the end that our
foreign trade may be increased and
our general prosperity advanced. That
is an impregnable American. positions
We are just starting in this bust
ness. and must learn as we 60 along.
1t will be amazing il we make no mis-
takes. They inhere in all big enter
prises. 1t iss the part Of wisdom to
correct mistakes whenever they are
exposed. Let US keep our eyes peeled
for any mistakes we may make in q
new field at this time Of world unrest,
when all nations are feverishly strug-
Cling back to normal.
But. in whatever we do, let us steer
steadily by the slogan, America first.
Let US not forget for moment that
the restoration Of American sea power,
whether expressed in fighting fleets or
merchant fleets. is one Of our leading
purposes, and must be carried steadily
forward. The American nag, beautiful
everywhere. looks especially good at
the masthead Of q stanch ship.

Suffrage Legal Tangles.

A shift of ground had been made
by the opponents of woman suffrage,
in the matter of court procedure. A
suit filed for an injunction against
proclamation after the official certifi-
cate had been dispatched from Nash
vile. on the ground that Tennessee
was not qualified to ratify in advance
of a state election. has been with
drawn. inasmnch as an earlier suit
is still pending. in the same status Of
initial denial and subsequent appeal.
Thus the earlier petition will be press
ed to appeal as quickly as possible. in
the hope of securing action by the ap-
pellate court and the Supreme Court
before the day OF election.
Whether the latest development in
Tennessee, the resembling Of the rati-
flying vote by the lower house, will
cause any further change remains to
be seen. That fact is not cited in the
petition now pending in court. But
properly speaking it does not belong
to such 4 suit, for if the legislature
was not qualified to act at this time,
by virtue of a state constitutional re-
striction. there was no valid ratifying
vote to be reconsidered and rescinded.
The whole case of what may be called
the Fairchild petition rests upon the
proposition that there has been no
valid ratification. whatever the legis-
lative maneuvers and procedure.
A supplementary proceeding. it has
been suggested, may be started. based
upon the reconsideration by the Ten
nessee house of the ratifying vote, re-
gardless of the state constitutional
limitation. But the difficulty in this
lies in the fact that the proclamation
has already been issued and on the
face Of the federal record the nine.
teenth amendment is declared to be
part of the fundamental law. Suit
for mandamus to compel the Secretary
would be needed. Can the court COM
mands the withdrawal of an official
proclamation, duly signed and sealed?
Plainly. the legal aspect of the nine
teenth amendment is interesting and
complex. There is the strongest pos
sible reason for an expeditions proce-
dure in court. The issue is Of such
Importance as to justify special terms
Of both the court Of appeals and the
Supreme Court.

A visitor by special invitation was
former Speaker Cannon. vwho. called
upon for a speech. said in a very frank
and friendly response:
"In Illinois we were all for Lowden
for President. but do not hesitate to
say now that / would not. were it in
my power, change the candidate"
Mr.. Cannon has been a long time
in public life, and during the greater
part in high Office and leader. Such
a compliment coming from him car
ries far and carries much.
The Illinois men are the right sort
the sort to tie to. They are sturdy
fighters. both for and against. Gov.
Lowden and his friends did all in their
power to win the prize. but are now
wholebeartedly for the man who did
win, and active in his support. And
the support of such men is always Of
value.

The Miners on Vacation. "

They call it a vacation" those. hard
coal miners who have walked out be-
cause they are dissatisfied with the
award of the wage commission anu
the Presidents approval of 1t. Tney
say they will not work for the present
at even the new scale of advanced
wages. 1t is nobody's business but
their own. they declare, whether they
work or not They want a rest and
will not swing a pick or shovel until
they get what they want in their pay
envelopes.
Of gross bad faith. a breach OF agree
ment made by the duly authorized rep
resentatives of the miners. who de-
clared that the award OF the commits
sion would be accepted. A harder
blow at union organization has never
been struck.
II there is any virtue in labor or
sanitation it lies in the system wnlch
1t establishes. and that system Is
based upon discipline. If there is in
subordination in the ranks the ouiy
appointed officials cannot make agree
ments that will bind either side. NO
employer is justified in submitting to
the demands of an unorganized force
rebelling against its own leadership.
AS the President pointed out in his
telegram of reply to the ultimatum-
presenting mine leaders. the principle
of collective bargaining rests upon the
basis of the contract, and there can be
no contract if it is not squarely re-
spected and fully kept.
If the officials of the union are
recreant to their trust, unrepresenta-
tive of the spirit and will of the men
in the ranks. they should be changed.
II the union has made a mistake in
their selection and feels betrayed by
them, the union must abide by the con-
sequences of its error. Its recourse
Is to change officials. not to repudiate
bargains and contracts made by them.
Meanwhile the public, innocent of
any part in this controversy between
operators and miners and miners and
union officers, is the sufferer from this
vacation" Next winter when fur
naces are chilled for lack Of fuel and
people fall i'll from the cold of un-
heated houses the responsibility will
rest upon these men who have so
shamefully failed to realize their duty
and obligations.

An Ambassador and the Stump.

Ambassador Davis, at home on a
sfxty-day leave from his London post,
has raised a new and nice point in
politics.
His party friends desire Him to take
the stump for Gov. Cox. He is
speaker of power. and in his home
state Of West Virginia is power in
his party.
And in that state the democracy
needs the services of every available
man. AS rule the state has to be
fought for with vigor, and the victor
never has large majority to boast of.
Mr.. Davis is a Cox man. and wants
to help. But he is in doubt about
the proprieties. As a member Of the
diplomatic corps of high rank, can he
with propriety take the stump? OF
course. he is democrat, and owes
his Office to a democratic President.
Still, as he knows of no precedent for
such a step, he hesitates.
And then if he does take the stump
and discusses the league of nations
he indorses the league in the form pre-
scented by the President-will he not
be charged by the opposition with re-
fiecting the English view of the ques-
tion? He has been in England two
years, and in his official position in
intimate touch with English opinion
about that and other matters.
Senator Harrison. who is in charge
Of the speakers bureau at democratic
headquarters, thinks Mr.. Davis little
overscrupulous, and hopes to bring
him around. In a campaign where
anything goes" or seems to go"
Mr.. Davis point is a nice one.

And sing Of soviets.

To satisfy the soul.
As chickering's afar increase.
Besides, we're short Of coal.

And take a placid nap;
But now our thoughts go wandering
