The Saloon an Issue.

The congressional contest in the
sixteenth Illinois district is being
waged frankly on the Nolstead act,
with the republican candidate favor
ing a modification of the act in the in
terests Of light wines and beer, and
the democratic candidate opposing
such a change.
The republican candidate thus states
his case:
While l have been neutral on the
prohibition subject. 1 have been more
would allow the sale of light wines
and beer our people would be much
better off.
The democratic candidate thus
states his case:
In this campaign l stand unequivo-
cally for the eighteenth amendment.
the provisions of the Nolstead act.
obedience to the Constitution and the
laws and for law enforcement. I do
not favor a modification of the Vol
stead act, to permit the manufacture
and sale of light wines and beers.
That would mean the return Of the
open saloon. and | am opposed to the
open saloon.
Here is the first open challenge Of
the wet proposition that the saloon
has been banished for all time: that it
cannot return, and that the Volstead
act can be amended without imperil-
ing any of the good generally con-
ceded as following the saloons Danish
ment.
The democratic candidate sees the
saloon returning with light wines and
beer, and opposes the return Of both.
He sees them joined together.
This is certain to prove one of the
leading points of the campaign discus
sion everywhere. and the Volstead act
will be discussed everywhere. No wet
will champion the saloon, or defend it
against dry attacks. But the drys will
attack with such warmth and direct
ness that the saloon issue will become
one of great Importance before and on
election day.

to sell out, and it has repudiated his
proposal as warmly as the New York
club.
Base ball is being kept upon a high
plane since the scandal Of the BLACK
Sox" Of Chicago. who sold OUT IN the
world championship series. At the
least suspicion Of crookedness a player
is suspended. and at proof he is barred.
No man can get along in the game
now against whom there is any
ground for doubt. The men who were
banished from the Chicago team are
finding it difficult to make a living at
the game. 1t is reported that two of
them have lately been playing under
false names in crooked games In New
Jersey promoted by group of New
York pool gamblers. Two or three OF
them are on semi.professional clubs,
Transforming" in the west. But they
are finding existence precarious and
would probably all mortgage their sal
aries for two years or more to get
back in the big game with the records
clean.
In this latest case, the man who
offered to sell out by quitting the game
is destined to drop out Of base ball
shortly. He has not been a particu-
larly good performer at best. though
splendid pitcher. Handicapped by
bad habits; he has not been dependable
at all times, and only recently was
disciplined for misconduct. Perhaps
he thought he was booked for the
bumps soon, anyway, and figured on
getting bit of easy money for
quitting. He has lost the money and
the job together.

He Brought Them Through.

! There is an explosion-a "spon-
taneous combustion" eXplosion-in
the coal bunkers of the great liner
(; Adriatic. Five men are killed, four
are terribly injured y fierce fire fol-
lows the explosion. The engines stop
pulsating, the liner floats aimlessly.
The roar of the explosion brings all
the passengers tumbling out of their
staterooms. The passengers know
that the ship is on fire. They know
that down in the mysterious regions
far below the water line men are
struggling with the flames. And they
also know that somewhere down in
that dark abyss of terror is Capt.
David. commanding his men.
This last thought is uppermost in
the minds of the passengers. Capt.
David is quiet British man, a strict
disciplinarian, a man whose force
fulness and capacity are evident at
first sight. Perhaps some of the pas
Sengers may have considered Capt.
David as a little offish or uppiSh. too
much impressed with the Importance
of his position. But there is not one
of them who doubts that in this hour
of emergency Capt. David is the right
man to have in command.
Capt. will bring us through!
So speaks one of the passengers.
mouth.
Somehow. by hook or by crook, this
quiet. self-confident man will prevail.
He will save the ship. There is no
panic. There are no blanched faces.
There is no wailing Of women. There
Is anxiety, of course, and there is much
suppressed excitement But there is
unquestiohng confidence.
What tremendous compliment to
the man who holds in his charge the
life of every man and woman on his
ship! Merely to have seen the cap

And he did win. He brought them

the victory was proclaimed and the
great ship resumed her voyage.
At sundown the five corpses, each
wrapped in British flag, were
dropped to sepulture in the ocean
depths. And Capt. David, with head
barred, was the sincerest mourner for
the nameless stokers.
Who can doubt that the men and
women who waited for the victory
and who maintained their calm ,as-
surance through the hours of uncer-
tainty will be richer for the ordeal?

Exit a Crooked Ball PLAYER.

Another crooked base ball player has
gone the route to banishment and oh.
scurity. One of the New York Ma
tional League pitchers has been
caught in a trap Of his own setting,
having been detected in an offer made
by him to a rival pennant contender to
quit the game If given enough money.
He proposed to jump the club if paid
and thus deprive it of his services,
which he rated as necessary for the
winning of the championship. Word
of this reached the ears of Manager
McGraw, who consulted with Judge
Lands. the high commissioner Of base
ball. and the player has been banished,
blacklisted. No reflection whatever is

Miss Kearney's Race,

Miss kearney's vote in the Missis-
sippi senatorial contest is described as
negligible" 1t is small by compari-
son with that of either of her two COM
petitors, but, in the circumstances,
large enough to be creditable and en-
couraging. The lady polled over seven
teen thousand votes.
1t was her first attempt for political
Office. The constituency was unfa-
miliar with such a candidacy. The is
sue Of suffrage for women made it's
way slowly in the south, and against
both opposition and Indifference. The
suggestion Of women at the polls and
in office startled the people when first
made into either protest or amuse-
ment.
Miss Kearney challenged this senti-
ment. She canvassed the state. She
gave the people a look at her on the
stump, and a sample Of how a woman
who had prepared for the task could
present the political issues of the day.
And over seventeen thousand voters
responded fayorably to her appeals.
Sweet are the uses of adversely, and
often rewardful if the defeated are Of

THE change that has come over
i East Washington of late years
who visit that section of the city
after an absence of few years.
What was formerly a residential sec
tion is now, in many parts, thriving
business community. This is partic-
ularly true of Fl street from North
Capitol to Benning road. the old toll
gate section. An almost continuous
line of business houses has greatly
changed this interesting old thor
oughfare. a roadway familiar to those
who motor to Baltimore or points
north. Some day when you want to

The Buckeye Keynote.

The republicans of Ohio meet in
state convention Tuesday, and are
seeking a keynoter. The President has
been asked TO make a suggestion. AS
it is service he performs well him
self his judgment is considered of
value.
The desire felt for the right man is
justified. Great interest will attach to
the Ohio campaign. Both parties are
going into action under excellent lead
ership. The nominees for governor
and the nominees for senator COM
mand high respect in the state. and
in the primaries won their honors
easily.
Ohio is the Presidents state. He has
always enjoyed her favor and through
it has reached the highest Office under
the government. In his race for the
presidency she gave him plurality of
nearly four hundred thousand-some-
thing big even in a year of big things
of that sort.
His fortunes are at stake there this
year. The voters will be asked to give
him their approval-to say at the
ballot box that he has done we'll in
the White House and deserves to have
his hands held up in his further
course. The home verdict, whatever
it may be, will receive national atten-
ton.
For this reason the republican case
should be stated at the convention
most forcibly and in the best style
possible. The keynoter should be fully
equal to his text and in his strongest
form. What he says should carry far
and be widely echoed in the campaign
to follow.
