Chicago Tribune. Omaha Bee Leased Wire,

c. McAdoo is unalterahle in his
decision to keep out of the demo.

nomination prior to the convention
at San Francisco in '"ne.
Following dispa,cn Of kilograms
to the chairman of the California
state committee to keep his name
off the primary ballot in that state.
Mr.. McAdoo made it known
through friends here that Attorney
General Palmer's open candidacy
for the democratic nomination
would not force him into the con.
vention contest. ~.
This does not mean that Mr.. Nc.
Adoo is not presidential candidate.
Far from it. 1t means that he is
candidate, but that he prefers to
remain in the background until the
psychological moment, a moment
which will arrive at some time dur.

cisco convention and not before.

To head off friends in California
as he did in Georgia, Mr.. McAdoo

ambitions.
IF we are to win in the next cleo

PORTUGAL SHUTS
UP ALL LICENSED
GAMING HOUSES
Gambling Resorts Throughout
Country Are Closed by Gov
ernment Order.
BY WILLIAM A. BENTLEY.

L
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Lisbon, March 6-Portugal has
closed the gambling houses through
out the country.
During the war, traders, industri.
alists, and great land owners made
money. In the wars wake came cor.
ruption, shameless profiteering and
national fever of gambling.
Some persons recalling the
legends of Monte Carlo urged that
sanctioned gambling would attract
foreigners with money.
Under Antonio Paes liberty was
granted to gambling houses. The ef-
feet was deplorable. War profits
and foreign capital were lavishly ex-
pended in fitting up scores # night
clubs, luxurious casinos and gaming
houses not only in Lisbon and its
suburbs, but also at seaside resorts.
The gambling mania spread with its
train of "hush money" "adventur-
'ers" and "adventuresses," touts and
tragedies.
IS Disregarded Laws.
Investments in houses of vice and
gambling were so profitable that
though the law forbade such places,
successive governments shrank, with
dealing with the vested interests"
backing such enterprises.
Proposals for regulation of these
places were before parliament, when
the scandals published in the news
papers directly challenged the
chamber of deputies on the con-
tinued federation of such conditions.
Premier Domingoes explained
that personally he opposed gam
bling, sut the complicated nature
of the question hitherto led to tol-
Grafton.
In view of public opinion, the
government decided to enforce the
law closing gambling houses
throughout the country. T he
premier said he knew 1T would re-
suit in public disturbances, but he
felt the government had the power
to comply with the wishes of the
country.

to this, each nation has an Olympic

always preceded by q general am

might be held in safety.
Then there was another provision
with which this column will deal
later, but which should have careful
consideration even in this day and
generation, and that was the educa-
ton of the judges for these contests.
AS a matter of fact, the judges were
really sent to college for some months
in order to educate them for their
jobs. In almost every revival we
have had of these games there have
been difficulties about rulings, which
have been very unfortunate and in
some cases gave rise to lasting bit

AS to the selection of teams, that is
in the hands of the local committees
in each nation. Here we have our
three representatives on the interna-

BY III. c. BYRD.

George Washington University is
making a genuine attempt to get back
into general collegiate athletics, espe-
cially foot ball. Several meetings of
members of the alumni association
have been held during the past three
weeks. and plans of a permanent ma
ture are being worked out. 1t is the
intention to develop a general and
unified system of control for sports
guarantee prominent representation
in foot ball and other branches of
athletics.
1t is doubtful if any attempt will be
made to put out foot ball team next
fall The men working to restore
the university to it's former high
standing in the collegiate athletic
world are not thinking of next
season especially, nor of any one
particular season. but are formulating
a definite and permanent method of
procedure looking toward the whole
future of the university In other
words. a genuine attempt is being
made at last to institute in the uni
verSity a lasting policy in relation
ship to athletics and other stud ent
activities which will be the begin
ming and part of a general plan of
action to raise the university to a
standard comparable to the largest
institutions.
PROCEDURE so lar mas not DetH
confined to alumni of the institution.
as some classes in the law school
have passed resolutions asking the
board of trustees to restore ath-
1etics. and foot ball especially, to
the plane they once occupied. The
law school students desire a foot
ball team next fall, but many diff
culties would stand in the way, chief
of which would be the arrangement
of a satisfactory schedule.
Ample material always is present
at George Washington for good
teams. The university has proved in
past years that it is able to develop
strong com binations. as was shown
when it was consistently represented
by one of the strongest gridiron
squads in the south. George Wash
ington is about the only Institution
in the south that has won a foot
ball game at V. P. I. on the latter's
home field in the last twenty years.
No doubt the student body and
alumni will support athletics at
George Washington provided atE-
1etics are systematically conducted
under a permanent organization.
Some opposition has been manifest
at various times from certain MEM
bers of the faculty. but under favor
able conditions such opposition prob
ably would disappear.
A big field for development lies
ahead of George Washingt and it
is well recognized that one of the
methods through which this develop
ment can be attained is through the
building up of it's athletics. There
