THIRD PARTY" TALK

The favorite indoor sport of the imaginative writers of political dope" for the magazines and newspapers is at present planning splits" in the Republican party, and the launching of third" parties. They are succeed ing in soaring a good many people, anxious for the success of the Repub- 1ican party, by handling the facts rather carelessly and inventing all sorts of theories as to the terrible things that are likely to happen at ard immediately after the approach ing Republican national convention.
 The third party we have always had with us. Nearly every campaign since the civil war has witnessed tho exploitation not merely of third parties but of fourth, fifth, and even sixth and seventh parties. History Is repeating itself this year in the dis cuss1on of minor parties, new and old. These movements never have landed anywhere. The only third movement that ever reached the point whore it was seriously considered as 9 contender for national control was the Progressive party in 1912; and that, really, was not third party in division of the Republican party, which later returned to the parent or ganization
 No man or movement now exist ing has the shadow of a chance of causing serious embarrassment or threatening the defeat of the Republi- can party through the launching of a third party. Any such movement, on the contrary, would be more likely to increase than to decrease the pros pect of Republican success.

FORCED TO GET EXCITEMENT
English Court Clerk Is Given Eight Months in Jail for Altering
 Postal Drafts.

London.-Here is young man who cannot get enough thrills out of life without being dishonest. And even dishonesty soon ceases to lead a thrill to him.
 James Walter Evers. tWenty-six, for merly clerk at the admiralty, plead ed guilty at the Old Bailey recently to forging and altering naval postal drafts worth $7,10O. Pleading for leniency Evers said:
 During the greater part of my life have been afflicted with an extraor- dinary lust for excitement and thrills. While this longing for excitement has often led me into dangerous and trou- blesOme adventures, it has never made me commit a criminal Offense until now. I swear when I conceived this scheme my main thought was the ey- citement. left off going to post of fees because l found myself going into them mechanically and getting no thrill of excitement in handling forged drafts over the counter. I had POO more drafts in my pocket"
 Evers was sentenced to eight months imprisonment.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

The Republican national convention, which will be open at Chicago on June 9th, will the the fifth consecu- tive Republican convention held in the great middle-west metropolis. Roos- eve1t was nominated in Chicago in 1904, and the Republicans have named their standard bearers there ever since. The convention of 1920 will be, perhaps, the most interesting in the history of the Republican party, with several strong contenders for the presidency and elements of uncertain ty in the situation which will keep the country doubtful as to the out come of the balloting, in all probabil- ity, throughout the convention. It is estimated that the attendance at the 1920 convention will break all records and that for enthusiasm as we'll as for size it will touch high water mark in national convention history.

If the money that was wasted in cost-plus contracts and in other ways during the war were now in the United States treasury the matter of paying a bonus to soldiers of the world war would not constitute so perplexing a problem. As it is, the problem of how to pay the proposed bonus and at the same time escape national bankruptcy or financial panic is not so easy as it looks

The man who gets it into his head that he is the one and only person competent to be president of the United States should be entered in a court of lunacy as candidate for the insane asylum, not in a national party convention as a candidate for a presi- dentiaI nomination. The exaggerated ego in politics and public affairs is something more than a nuisance; it is a real menace.

While France is busy excluding American automobiles and moving pictures from her markets, our secre- tary of state goes about the country weeping over our failure to treat the rest of the world as generously as we should. What unlimited obligations we took on when we inflicted irrepar- able injury on the allies by going to their rescue and stopping the German advance! Can we ever be forgiven for this offense, we wonder?

Vice President Marshall is said to be in a move "to liberalize the Demo cratic party" whatever that may mean. But in view of the fact that the 1. o. p. has spent more money in the last seven years than all other na- tional administrations had succeeded in distributing in a century and a third, the general belief is. that it is quite liberal" enough as it is.

MAKE THE VERDICT UNANIMOUS
 While it is generally conceded that there will be Republican landslide throughout the United States at the polls next Tuesday, and that Senator Warren G. Harding will be inaugural ed president on March f, the residents of Alaska also have a duty to perform in the election of their delegate to con- gross. That we have a representative in the counsels of the dominant party and man at Washington with whom the president can consult as a con- cordant friend is of vital importance to this territory. The growth or stag nation of Alaska depends nightly upon the attitude of the federal gov ernment during the next four years. Not only will the president be Re- publican, but both houses of congress will be overwhelmingly controlled by the Republicans. All that now remains is for the voters of the northland that they too have confidence in the prin- ciples of this great party and send a Republican to represent them at the national capital
 The Republican party offers to the voters of Alaska candidate for dele gate, in the person of Dan A. Suthe- erland, who can be depended upon to work for the territory's best inter- ests as he understands them; a candi- date who has lived the better part of his life in Alaska and is periodically Alaskan to the last drop of his blood; a candidate who will insist on the en- forcement of the laws of Alaska; candidate who believes in a practical solution of all Alaska problems; a can didate who appreciates that Alaskas welfare depends upon the friendly CO., operation of labor and capital, upon team work by all factions and com munities, upon sensible concert of action and united effort between the national and territorial government. His colleagues on the Republican tick ct will work with him and for him.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA NEEDS
 POLITICAL FREEDOM.

Few people outside of Washington, the nations capital. know that the District of Columbia, legislative and eXecutice center of the United States, is the only capital of any nation in the world without representative gov ernment
 The District of Columbia, with near ly 5OO,OO0 people, larger in population than seven of the states-Idaho, New Mexico, Vermont, Arizona, Delaware, Wyominfi, and Nevada, is the only completely disfranchised community under the American flag.
 People in the District of Columbia have no representation in congress, no voice in the selection of their municipal officers, cannot vote for president unless they hold citizenships in one of the states, and cannot even choose their own school board by popular vote
 In 1874 the district had a territorial form of government. It was then small in population and weak in re- sources. This territorial government

NEEDED IN RECON
 SEDUCTION.

The floor of foreign wool dumped into the United States accounts for the demoralized condition of the home market; and it is badly shaken, with a surplus of home grown wool. In the last year nearly 47,000,000 pounds of foreign wool has been i'm ported duty free; this is worth over $200 100000. We wonder what our American wool growers think of the Democratic free-trade policy now. A protective tariff is absolutely essen tial to our advancement in recon struction since the drains caused by the war, and every thinking man should be able to see it.

was surrendered to congress in re- turn for congress agreeing to pay half of the expenses of conducting the Dis trict of Columbia. The people of that day who thus surrendered the birth right of every free born American have since bitterly regretted their action and have been for many years agitating to recover their suffrage which is guaranteed under the consti- tuition.
 Bills will be introduced in the De- cember session of congress to grant local self government to the district that is, giving the disfranchised half million in that great city at least the right to elect their own municipal of ficers and to have two delegates in congress, the same number that are al lowed the Philippines. At first bills were introduced to give the district two senators and two representatives but a majority of congress has ex- pressed opposition to that, but is will ing to grant local self government as start toward wiping the district dis franchisement blot off the flag.
 At present district people are ac- tually living under a political despot- ism that exists nowhere in any civil ized nation on the globe.
 The political condition of the dis franchisement inhabitants of the na- ational capital is repugnant to the American spirit of liberty, and con- trary to every principle of human free dom upon which the republic is found ed.
 Is Washington entitled to the bal munity under the Stars and Stripes than the District of Columbia. In the Civil, Spanish and World wars, Washingtonians did their full share. The district supplied nearly 19,O00 men to the armed forces in the World war; nearly half of them were vol unteerS ana many Sleep III FldilCe. More than half served overseas. The district supplied more soldiers, sailors, and marines than any one of seven of the states Liberty bond subscriptions were oversubscribed more than $30,- 0OO,OOO Every war time fund was heavily oversubscribed
 The coteless people of the district confidently appeal to all patriotic free born American citizens, to assist them in recovering their political liberty, and their rights as guaranteed under the constitution. Citizens throughout the states are asked to notify their senators and representatives in con gress that they approve of the strug- gle of the district people to be free.
 Like Alaskans, who have also been denied self-government, the people of the District of Columbia are entitled to it.

Several years ago when Mr.. Virgil
Williams assumed control Of the old
Palace Theater or dance hall, located
at 45s E. slst street, many of the
wise ones felt dead sure that blank
failure was staring him right square
in the face that they could see no fu-
tura success for his enterprise and
gigantic undertaking.
Mr.. Williams, however, continued to
saw wood and say nothing and in n
very short time, he transformed the
establishment into the Beautiful Royal
Gardens, which is the most orderly
conducted and the best place Of amuse-
ment of its kind in the United States.
1t must be said to the everlasting
credit of Mr.. Williams, that before
Uncle John Barley Corn received its
final knock out and death blow, that
Mr.. Williams never sold one glass of
liquor in his establishment, nor kept it
in any manner, shape or form around
about him.
The Beautiful Royal Gardens con-
tains the best and the largest dancing
floor in this city. The original New
Orleans Jazz Orchestra, diseourses the
finest and the most enchanting music
that can be heard any place and the
entertaining is always Of a high or
der, also the entertainers are top
notehers.
For a clean or a real place Of amuse-
ment the Beautiful Royal Gardens
cannot be exeelled. Mr.. James F. Grit
I'm, the polite and gentlemanly man
ager, is always on hand to assist mine
host, Mr.. Williams, the enterprising and
hustling proprietor to extend the glad
hand Of welcome, to all of its friends
and patrons.
Aside from conducting the Beautiful
Royal Gardens Mr.. Williams is one ,of
the directors Of the Liberty Life In
suranee Company; he is also president
Of the Royal Gardens Moving Picture
Company. He is full Of race pride and |
the past year, directly and indirectly, |
he contributed more than seven thou
