Sims Adventure.

Admiral Sims, who might have
been a hero, appeared in a sadly
different light as the long-drawn-out
Senate investigation into the naval
conduct of the war drew to a close
this week. His good work in England
has been over-shadowed by his mis-
takes and by the mud-slinging
brought out in an argument which he
started himself.
The admiral must bear the brunt
of his efforts to besmirch the Navy.
Backed up by and inspired by John
w. Weeks, ex-senator and politician;
Truman H. Newberry, Senator with
the EEK drawing near, and others
who used him as a medium for at
tacking Secretary Daniels, Admiral
Sims soon found himself in very deep
water. Daniels proved quite his e.
quail at political investigating. No
doubt the admiral is sorry he start
ed. From the position of the nations
most honored naval officer, he has
dropped to that of an unsuccessful
Pathfinder.
Weeks, once a naval officer and
later in the Massachusetts Naval Mil
itia, and Newberry, who was an Of
ficer in the late wal although his
only ship was the dummy battleship
in Union Square on which he had his
campaign photos taken, thought they
could use Sims to make campaign
material, Senator Hale, of Maine,
chairman of the naval committee,
worked nicely into the plan. AS a
fearless Investigator he went along.
nicely, so long as his prompters were
giving the cue. But in the end the
affair got out of the hands of the
stage managers, and a lot of facts
came out which they had not prepar-
ed in advance. Admiral Sims was
thoroughly tarred with his own stick.
Fortunately the airing of the whole
affair has not done the Navy any
harms. Many laughs have been pro-
vided among sensible people. Even
the British, who aren't noted for hu-
NOR, have seen the point of the joke
despite efforts to drag our relations
with the British Admiralty through
the mud. And the good service of
Admiral Sims will not be entirely
forgotten despite his unlucky flyer in
politics.-The Stars and Stripes.

sandwiches, boiled ham sand
witches, pickles and iced tea.
And there was enough for ev-
erybody.
There were four bands pres
ent-the 14Oth Infantry Band,
the Wentworth Cadet Band, the
Odd Fellows Band from Liberty,
and the pride of Lafayette
county, the Concordia band.
Engraved silver cups were of
fered for the best float in the pa
rade, the Legion Post having
the largest number of uniform
ed men in line, and to the Lodge
having the greatest number of
members in line. The wellington
Red Cross Chapter carried off
the prize for the best float, Lee
gion Post of Higginsville for
having the greatest number of
uniformed men in line, and the
/. 0. O. f. of Lexington for hav-
ing the greatest number of
members in line.
The speakers were Col. Ben
nett Clark and Hon. Colin M.
Selph of st. Louis, and Rev. E.
A. Edwards, of Leavenworth,
Kansas, chaplain of the 140th
during the war. Gen. Harvey c..
C. Clark who was to have pre-
scented the medals was unable to
be present on account of the
illness Of Mrs. Clark, and the
presentation was made by Mr..
Selph.
Every number on the program
was carried out to the satisfac-
ton of all, except the balloon
ascension and the parachute
leap, which was set for $50 D.
m. This was a fzzle as the bal
loon when released rose only a
feet, hesitated, and then in
gloriously descended to earth
only a short distance from where
it started. This was a disappoint-
to the youngsters.
Everything on the grounds
was free to the service men to
the extent of $500. Coupon
books had been mailed to each
one lover 1900, and were legal
tender at all the stands.
The day was %eventful in an
other particular there was no
disorder, nor were there any ac-
cidents. The auto parking COM
mittee closed Franklin street
from Thirteenth to Twentieth
streets and used it for parking
purposes, and cars were backed
against the curbing the whole
distance. Some member of the
committee was on the job until
the last car was called for, which
was pretty close to midnight,
and no cars were stolen or mo-
Tested in the slightest degree.
The traffic was handled by the
city officers to perfection. 1t
was directed all one way and
not a single accident was re-
ported.
Lexington has had many cele-
brations in the years gone by,
of events vital in the history
making Of Lexington, of the
State, and of the United States,
but we dare say that none were
ever more successful than the
one of Monday, May 31st.

POLITICAL PARTI ES.
Prof. Vaughn of Delaware College Ad-
dresses Business and Professional
Women.

Prof. L. Y. Vaughn of Delaware Col
lege, in the first Of series of lectures on
politics and political parties, given under
the auspices of the Business and PROBES
sional Women So Club, at the \. Nj. G. A.
last night, declared that the Constitution
was framed by the conservatives OF the
colonies and was filed with compromises.
He added that il revealed curious dis
trust of the idea of pure democracy, illus
trated especially by the provision for
election Of presidents by electors chosen
by the people.
But convention has changed this, he
said, the electors being bound by no legal
right to vote for the candidates selected
at the conventions of tho political parties.
Development of the spirit of democracy
from its inception at the time ot Colonial
life was traced. The speaker claimed that
Jefferson, Hamilton, Partick Henry and
other so-caIle! radicals of their time were
not permitted TO help in framing the Con-
stitution.
The next lecture on the subject OF
American Nationalism," will be held
next Wednesday evening.

sisted by Contralto Soloist
Clara Yocum Joyce.

The first concert of the season Of the
Orpheus Club was gwen last evening at
The Playhouse to the usual full house. The
innovation of dispensing with reserva-
tions of seats worked smoothly and will
be adopted for future affairs This is
rendered more adaptable from the fact
that ndmttance is by invitation only,
through cards issued to the active and
subscribing members.
The visiting soloist last night was
Clara Yocum Joyce Of Philadelphia, who
rendered a generous list of a dozen songs.
These included works in French, Italian
and English, calculated to display the
artistic versatility and range The group
coming last ON the program gave perhaps
the most pleasure to tho listeners from
the fact that they brought out the rich
and mellow mezzo tones which form the
special distinction and charm of tho
singer
The patriotic solo. "The Americans
Come" was substituted for the an
nounced number Tosti's Song of April
