4 PARTISAN PLAN.

By the action of the governors of Con- neeticut and Massachusetts in refusing to designate October A as League of that Sunday a political holiday. The league of nations is the issue in the present campaign for the presidency and it is the request of the committee that is backing the effort to have the coevnant read in the home and other places, presumably churches and pos sibly other gathering places. The com mittee is one that is backing the league of nations that has failed of ratification and by it's efforts it seeks through a governors proclamation to have en- dorsement given to this league, the Will son league.
 There has been widespread distri-
 button of copies of the treaty and the league and it has been even more widely circulated through newspaper publica- ton so that those who want to have not been denied an opportunity to get ac- quainted with the whole document. The idea, however of setting aside a special day for the purpose of putting forth the league upon which the demo. cratic party is making it's campaign is too partisan. It would be quite as con sistent for others to ask that the nex
 Sunday or some other day be declared
 an Anti-League of Nations day
 The country is fully aware of the fact as Herbert Hoover, ex-President Taft and others say, that but for the stub bornness manifested by President Will 1 son there would have been a ratification 1 of the league with safeguarding reser
 vations. This committee is by it's plan!

HuNTING TArALIrrEs.

Since the opening Of the hunting sea- son in Maine there have been at least two people killed without the person firing the shot intending to commit mur- der In both instances, as is invariably the case in connection with hunting fa- taIiites the deaths were accidental as far as desiring to end the life of the vic tins was concerned.
 In the first instance the hunter was mistaken, for deer. The person who fired the shot was looking for big game. The brush was seen to move and there being nothing by which it was possible to determine that there was a human being there instead of deer the shot was fired and it proved fatal
 The second instance concerned a man and his wife who were hunting near their home. It doesn't appear that in this instance there was any case of mis- taken identity but apparently one of those instances where the manner of carrying the gun resulted in it's acci- dental discharge which took the hus- bands life.
 In Maine it is not quite the case that as many human beings are shot as there are deer killed, but the number is large l in spite of all the precautions that ar, advocated and taken. Deer hunting ha, 1 its Vaccinations and it likewise has it! dangers. How many are the instance

 It was a day when class of six year olds was being acquainted with some of the Anniversaries of the Civil as well as the late war.

To finish third the Cubs will. be
forced to finish ahead of Pittsburg

Cubs must outsprint either the Reds
or Giants. two clubs with excep-
tionally strong sets of pitchers and
well rounded machines in other re-
spects.
The Giant infield is none too ro-
bust. but the outfield will help cover
up any infield weakness that isn't
TOO pronounced.
Both Chicago clubs are extremely
fortunate in having such leaders as
Kid Gleason and Fred Mitchell, who
can be counted upon to obtain every
possible ounce out of the material
at hand. But neither is great enough
to make three pitchers do the work
of six-or to find star infielders
