D WHICH FLAG

The suspension OF five AoctAl0t
members OF the New York legislature
pending an Investigation Of their fit
ness for service in that capacity.
brings up the question asresh, under
what flag do socialists serve? Whose
servant does tho socialist official pro-
pose to be. Is he the servant of the
people Of the nation, state. the muntc-
ipality, or Is he the servant of q rar.
ticular group Of people with whom.he
is politically associated?
The regulations pertaining to prac-
tically every branch of public service
requires that office holder shall
take an oath or make a similar doc
lar4tion to support the constitution
Of the United States and the consti-
tuition Of his own state, but if he is
a member of the socialist party, elect
ed as its candidate. he has in almost
every case. before assuming this SOL
I'M obligation. subscribed to another.
namely. to be governed by the orders
of the socialist organization whose
nomination he has accepted. This
rule may not be an invariable one,
but it n 4 very common one. and IL
would be interesting to have some
person who has taken the double OBJ
legation explain which Of the two he
regards as superior. If his socialist
organization should instruct him to
cast a vote or perform N act which
he knows to be contrary to the con-
stituton of the United States Of Of his
own state, would he fulfill his oath
to the public or would he fulfill his
promise to his organization?
The socialist practice is exactly the
practice which has been followed in
many and attempted in others,
by the leaders of the Soi2artisan
league organization in North Dakota,
and in other states. Fhe league, of
course, is not the socialist party. Many
of its members do not believe them
selves to be socialists, and are not, in
fact, in sympathy with many Of the
principles of socialism, but the meth
DDS and rules which have been impos-
ed upon them have very largely been
borrowed from the socialist party, and
this is one of them. Candidates for
positions in state legislatures partic-
ularly, ave been required to sign
statements in advance of their cleo
ton declaring in substance that they
will be guided in their official acts
in all respects by the instructions
which shall be given to them by the
S~onpartiran league organization. Men
have been invited to sign that agree
ment and have rejected it. declaring
that they would sign nothing which
did not leave them FREQ to use their
" judgment as citizens on Zach
proposition which came before them.
In such cases they have been denounc-
ed and efforts. sometimes successful,
have been made to defeat them soRsay
on the ground that they would not
take orders from the bosses.
1t will be interesting to observe
what Interpretation the New York
Legislature places upon the assump-
tion Of a private Obligation Of this
kind BY 4 man who socks an office Of
public responsibility and trus-

even though such rumors be we'll

MISTER, it is inevitable that there will
be associated with them rumors
which have no foundation outside of
the Imagination Of those who give
them speculation. Thus, in the pres

gone into circulation concerning
agreements which are said to have
been made between well known politi-
clans for the distribution Of patron

ambitions, now and in the future.
tho persons who are said to
be implicated in this dealing would

the public knowledge as long q pos

another become acquainted with 4
few facts relating to the subject. and
If the reports relating to these facts
are corroborated BY other and paral-
lei facts, within the knowledge Of the
public, there is built UP a structure
Of strong probability, sometimes Of

Boys From the Maumee at

TWO DOUBLE CARDS

Following the series wIndup contest
with the Louisville Colonies this after
noon the Indians will prepare to meet
the Toledo Hens in five-game series at
Washington park, starting with double
header Sunday.
On Monday, Labor day. a second twin
bin will be staged and as an extra at
traction fight returns from the Miske-
Dempsey and WiggnsGreb bouts at
Benton Harbor viii, be megaphoned to
the assemblage. Ringside service has
been arranged by Secretary Clauer and
the details of the fsticuffs win be given
to the fans just as soon as possible.
Following the Monday double-heade
the Hens and Indians will tangle In a
single game Tuesday, after which the
Tribe will go on the road for two series.
Paul Jones was slated to face the
Colonies on the mound today and, as the
Hoosiers had a chance to get an even
break on the series by winning this aft
ernoon, they were expected to display
better brand of pepper than showed
yesterday.
The Colonies copied the Friday en-
gagement, to 2, when the Indians old
trouble, that Of lacking in timely hits,
again handicapped them. On the other
hand, Cavet was found for few timely
swats and this combined with cratic
work by the Tribe defense gave the
Louisville outfit an easy win.
Southpaw Koob hurled for the Colonies
and he managed to keep the Hoosiers
guessing whenever men were on the
bases. In the seventh and ninth the In
dams found the plate, but in the mean
time the Colonies had located 1t so many
times that Tribe efforts seemed useless
1t will take only a>couple of pinch
blows to put the Indians back on their
feet and the loyal fans were hoping that
their fayorites would break loose today.

MAY BOX SOME, THOUGH
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

international News correspondent
BENTON HARBOR. Mich. Sept. As
the rival glove wigglers perform the final
training camp rites, the conclusion Is:
Jack Dempsey will whip Billy Miske in
their ten-round Labor day battle and do
it easily, barring a fractured arm, a
busted leg or some other ring misfor-
tune
1t wouldn't be at all surprising If
Dempsey slowed away the st. Paul
speedster in five rounds or less
Dempsey seems trained to the minute
and seems. as he says. to be in the most
perfect fgnring trim of his career. And
Niske. according to those experts who
arc handling him. is absolute perfection
as lighting men go. All of which makes
il fifty fifty on condition-and it's $3.50
as regards size, bulk, age and expert
ence But there the equal ends.
Dempsey is the super sIugger of the
age There was never another like him.
Aiiske, in contrast, is VIGOROUSLY weak
hitter q warrior who has failed re-
peatedly to stow away men whose jaws
ard whose bodies had only half the
resisting power of the Tiger of the Prize
Ring"
If the fight ever reserves itself into a
slugging match-if Miske attempts to
stand toe-to-toe with Dempsey-it means
the beginning of the end of Miske' s
championship dreams
AIiske's long forte is boxing and he's
a marvel in that particular line. But
marvellous as he is, 1t wouldn't be at
all surprising if Dempsey, electing to
meet him at his own game, actually out
boxed him. For Dempsey is faster than
the st. Paul whirlwind and all the while
will be packing the power than can make
one Of his jabs equal to the knockout
force of the other mans haymaker.
Iiske can take a beating and come
back for more. II 1t wasn't FOR that the
the fighting has been concluded.
Dempsey may elect to box it with
Afiske for a while, but that's not likely.
Dempsey knows that he can win II he
can hit solidly a few times, and victory
IS his aim. Why. then. should he play
the other mans game, even though ne
may be superior at It, when he can play
his own game that has not failed MIN In
the last three years rarely In a crucial
effort!
Selection of a referee and the de-
Gliding as to whether Mondays swatfest
will be a decision or a no-declSton az
fair was all that remained today TO COM

mix-up.

ger was TO confer today with Jack

jects.
