LOOKS RATHER CHEAP.

Senator Johnson is an active and
avowed candidate for the Republican
nomination for President. Senator
Borah has long been known to be an
aspirant for the nomination, although
he is not making such an active per-
sonal campaign as Is Mr.. Johnson.
Both men occupy positions Of trust
and dignity, n may quite logically
seek still further honors. But the
positions which they occupy. and the
still higher position which they seek
make greater demands on dignity and
courtesy than either gentleman
seem able to meet.
Because Of conditions peculiar to
this state representative Republicans
requested all presidential candidates
to refrain from filing for the North
Dakota endorsement in order that is
sues vital to this state might not be
personal candidates.. All Of the can
didates but one complied with this
request. Senator johnson refused.
He was quite within his rights. mo
one could have taken exception to a
courteous refusal by him. He chose
to couch his refusal in such terms al
to imply a d~iscreditable purpose or
the part of those who made it.
Mr.. Johnson filed in~South Dakota
Other candidates filed in that state
He and others filed in Minnesota. II

to encompass his defeat. Neverthe
less, he entered and continued in tn,

Naturally, he attributes his lefeat i,
South Dakota to the Vaccinations o
his enemies, and he now asserts that

CHOSE WHO CONTROL"

.-sS-a-A-EL 4. @ 81
Walter Lippman, who edits the New
Republic, believes, that American
newspaperdom is in "a pretty hope
less state. a condition of mind which
he makes public in a book which he
has just had published under the
title Liberty and the News He is
firmly convinced hat something
should be done about it. though ex-
actly what is not quite clear. One
thing is certain, however, those
who control" the newspapers must
be deposed. All through his book
there are dark intimations which.
without direct statement, point to
II h existence somewhere of a group
of plutocrats who invent all the
press dispatches that appear in the
papers and see to it that nothing
else is printed.
Mr. Lippman reminds US Of a
pleasant old gentleman who lived in
Grand Forks some years ago from
whom Mr.. Lippman might have Dor
rowed his ideas, they are SO familiar.
This gentleman's pet superstition
was that practically all the newspa-
pers of the country were owned by
one outfit. and that everything in
them was dictated by some central
organization which existed for the de-
strnction of the liberties OF the peo-
pie. As evidence OF the soundness Of
news dispatches published on the
same day in papers widely separated
I were identical. An attempt was made
to explain to him some of the work
! ings Of the Associated Press, but he
was not impressed. He declared that
even the headlines used in each pa
per are yritten in its own once. On
ltbchalf OF The Herald he was invited
TO come in some night and write the
headlines himself, subject only to
ttso conditions, that the headlines
ksh0uld indicate with reasonable ac-
scurAcy, ma that they should con-

! was not conscious Of carrying on a

idea was to get to the Y. M. C. A.

letter. Never should his childhood's
enemy have that letter to sneer

All the pleasant phrases which had

a thing which he had avoided scrup-
ulously since coming to camp. but he
was SO miserable over the other mat
ment to him now. He. was altogether
occupied with metaphorically kick
ing himself for having answered that
letter; for having mailed 1t 10 soon
without ever stopping to read At over
or give Nhimself a chance to recon-
slider. He might have known. he
might have remembered that Ruth
Macdonald was no comrade for him;
that h vas a neighbor Of the Wain-

be a friend Of the l~ieutenant's. Not
for all that he owned in the world
or hoped to own, would he have
thus laid himself open to the possi-
bility Of having wainwright know

would rather have lived and Aied I'M

REVIEW OF WEEKS
 PLAY IN SOUTHERN

Atlanta, July 1o-The half mile post in the Southern pennant race finds the Little Rock Travellers leading in hot triangular contest, with the Birmingham Barons and the New Or leans Pelicans close behind.
 The Travellers won five and lost three games since last Friday, and nosed ahead again while New Orleans and Birmingham were fighting desperate five-gam series for supremacy. The Pelicans managed to win three of the games, losing two. All were hard hit ting affairs, in which pitchers and fielders showed the strain, which ap- parently affected both teams, for they showed let-down. and each got an even break in the eight games of the week.
 Already one of the strong teams of the league, the Travellers appear to have added another hard hitting out fielder in Calvo, obtained in a deal with the Washington Americans. Carlson, q pitcher from the same team, is ex- pected to round out Manager Fiber feld's overworked staff.
 Crowding close behind New Orleans

 1 The Crackers have won sever | straight games since last Friday. while Mobile and Memphis, slumping badly ir 1 the last fortnight, have dropped into the second division. Mobile won three 1 and dropped four during the week Memphis won two and lost six. Nash vile won three and lost six, whil' Chattanooga won four and lost five.
 Efforts are being made to strengthen the Chattanooga club and a change O managers has been announced. Graf
