The Drys and the Next Congress.

The legislature elected in New Jer-
sey last week is two-thirds dry. The
plurality for Harding and Coolidge, re-
ferred to during the campaign as the
dry ticket, was two hundred and
eighty-one thousand.
And yet the vets were counting on
Jersey Blue. Gov. Edwards. "as wet
as the Atlantic ocean," was the choice
OF the democracy of the state for the
San Francisco nomination. James
Nugent, the democratic boss of the
state, went to the convention and sup
ported proposition to make the plat.
form "a little moist" though the prop
osition was defeated. He likewise, in
the wind-up of the convention. voted
for Gov. Cox. who was recommended
as wet enough to suit all practical
purposes" ,-
There was nliscalcuiation in this
case. Was their miscalculation in
other cases? 1t is thought quite like
~. Gov. Smith Of New York was a
wet candidate, and failed of reelection
by seventy thousand votes. Thomas
Taggart, wet, was a candidate in
Indiana for the Senate, but was easily
defeated by Senator Watson. a dry.
The state gave Harding and Coolidge
a plurality Of q hundred and eighty
thousand.
The enormous republican pluraiities
recorded everywhere outside the lower
south are construed as showing dry
sentiment; and while Gov. Cox carried
the lower southern states it was not
because OF his wet sympathies, but be-
cause he was carrying the democratic
standard. The south is dry, but puts
the party label above everything else
on election day.
1t is most unlikely that the Con-
eress elected last week on a tidal
wave Of republicanism can be induced
to tinker in any way with the Vol.
stead act.

The Base Ball War.

Partly in consequence of the recent
disclosure of the selling" of games
in the interleague base ball champion
ship series of 1919 by players of one
of the contending clubs. and partly as
a result of a quarrel between mem
bers of the American League over the
actions of its president, new row
has broken out in the base ball world
that promises more than usual liveli-
ness in the "stUve league" proceed
ingS this winter. The ''stove league
it should be explained to the unlnl-
tiated, is that assemblage. country
wide, which between playing seasons
discusses and debates the affairs of the
base ball world.
The entire National League. of eight
clubs. and three of the American
League clubs have united in new
twelue-club league, the twelfth men,
Der TO be chosen later. Five of the
American League clubs. including
Washington and the present world
champions, Cleveland, remain outside
of the new combination and promise
to fight for their rights and, on the
ground that the players belong by
contract to the league and not to the
individual clubs, for the performers
who represent the three seeding
American League clubs.
Twelve-club leagues have been tried
before and have failed. They are too
big. In this case the proposed ex-
panded league will include two teams
in each of three cities-New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago. This is an addi-
tional element of weakness. To those
who have followed base ball through
its permutations and politics during
the past two or three decades it would
seem likely that there is no genuine
purpose to form such a great circuit,
but that the plan, if the troubles are
fed. so that there will be two definite
rival organizations. of the same size,
probably the standard eight club for
nation.
CARNATIONS comprising the profess
sional leagues and the personal jeal-
ousies the public. which supports the
game, is not much concerned. 1t
wants base ball, but it wants it clean
and beyond the faint of scandal. 1t
wants it lively and squarely competi-
tive, which Is the essence of the game.
1t wants fairness of interclub rules
so that trades and sales" cannot be
negotiated craftily to affect the draw
ing powers of certain clubs to the dis
advantage Of the playing merits of
the teams.
1t will be a great pity if these diff
ferences which now threaten a new
base ball war; are not compromised.
Base ball is a great sport, even when
professionalism. and it will not die be-
cause few so-called magnates can
not agree upon a policy Of manage
ment. If the present generation of
owners and hackers and officials pass
away others will succeed them, and
the game will continue, as high in the
esteem of the public as the playing
merits of the teams and the square.

heated exchanges and some stupidities.

Keep balkin' on the way.

And often tanned my skin;
And that no doubt is what they'll do
Henceforth, if I should win
The elephant romped in with ease.

If you had only walked.

Rock Hill, May 2O.-Prepara-

under way and progressing fine.
An impression, according to Ed
DeCamp of Gaffney, has gone out
that on account of the lack of hotel
facilities at Rock fill, the parties
attending this meeting will have to
be taken into the homes of the
citizens of Rock Hill to be enter
tanned. This is wrong. An arrange
mcnt has been made with President
Johnson of Winthrop College to
turn over to this meeting johnson
hall, the best dormitory at Win
throp, which is better than a great

r. pms to take care of all who wish
to attend. Too, Dr.. Johnson has
apreed to serve those who attend,

over $3.50 per day. This will not
only give the association the very
best of hoctl accommodations, but
all public meetings can be held in
one of the society halls at Win
throp or in the main auditorium
which will seat something like p
600 or more and being located as
the college is, 66S feet above the
sea level in sight of the mountains,
will make the most ideal place to
hold any kind of a meeting es-
pecially in the middle of June.
A fine program, both business
and social, has been arranged. On
Wednesday evening. a banquet will
be given and Jason Rogers of the
New York Globe, one of the most
ncted newspaper men in the United
States, will address the meeting. On
Thursday the Rock Hill Rotary
club will have the male members
of the association as their guests at

musical program has been arranged
to take place in the Winthrop audi
torium, together with other fea-
lures of entertainment and a big
reception.
The publicity committee is now
sending out a letter to every news
paper publisher and owner of a
printing establishment asking that
they write Immediately to Presi-
dent Johnson at Winthrop college
for room reservation as he will
have to handle the proposition just
as hotel would and will be obliged
to know who wants rooms and re-
serve them for them; also he will
want to have some idea as to how
many will have to be fed so that he
can properly prepare for them. The
committee insists that every one
who expects to attend and bring his
wife, daughter, son, or any other
member of the family make reser.
vations at once.
