Basis of Alliance.

The newly formed alliance of Demo-
cratic and Republican Senators was
dictated solely by n desire to win the
support of bonus claimants among TIE
ex-service men for individual Senators.
This desire is predicated on the theory
that the voters OF the country gem
orally do not indorse the adverse
opinion expressed by the citizens of
Illinois, Indiana. Pennsylvania and
Oregon regarding the s5,000,00 600
looting enterprise.
The most significant development OF
the muddle over the bonus in the Sen
ate IS that there will not be Republi-
can votes enough to put 1t over in the
first instance and probably not a suffi-
cient number TO override Presiden-
tial veto. which is expected by both
sides.
The important thing is to get the
bonus TO a ballot to give candidates
for reelection an alibi, which they be-
leve will save them from the threat
ened political reprisals OF a doubtful
number Of ex-service men who place
commercial value on their patriotic
services.

The water ran ankle deep down
Broadway over the sidewalks TO Eighty
eighth street and streams a foot deep
poured down through Eighty-ninth and
Eighty-eighth streets to West End ave-
nue.. Cellars along Broadway were not
flooded badly. but in West End avenue
there was three feet of water in some
Easements. The overflow also reached
Riverside Drive.
In the west side of Broadway south
of Eighty-ninth street storekeepers shut
their doors and standing UP TO their
ankles in the water tried to sweep back
the flow. Storekeepers within three
blocks in Broadway reported damage
to goods in their cellars. More than 100
telephone lines in the Riverside ex-
change were put out OF order
William w. Brush OF the Water De-
partment took charge OF the repair
gangs. The pavement for an area OF
30 feet was broken through TO open
UP the pipes. There are five big dis
tributing mains laid under Broadway
at the point of the break The broken
main was an inch and a half thick and
ten feet underground. IL was laid in
1897 and was supposed to last 100 years.
The break may have been due to the
weight OF an electric conduit.

Not Interstate Business.

"'rhe fact that in order to give the ex-
hlbtions the leagues must induce free
persons to cross state lines and must
orange and pay for their doing so is
not enough TO change the character of
the business.

hibition. although made for money,

Justice Holmes said. as referred TO by
the Court OF Appeals. that a firm of
lawyers sending out member to argue
a case or the Chautauqua Lecture Bureau
sending out lecturer 1oes not engage in
commerce because the lawyer or the
lecturer goes to another State.

National Commission.
The charge was made that this group
entered into a conspiracy TO maintain
monopoly in the baseball business in
violation Of the Sherman antitrust and
similar laws. The whole groundwork
OF the suit was based on the assumption
that since the baseball clubs Travelled
from State TO State it therefore followed
that the business was one amenable TO
the laws regulating interstate commerce.

where Responsibility Rests.

Under the terms Of the deal which
the bonus Republicans have made
with the bonus Democratic Senators
It is hoped to present the scheme to
the country as bipartisan produc-
ton. The fact Is the action Of the
Democratic Senator's in indicating
their approval of the Republican
bonus scheme fixes the responsibility
for imposing further and stupendous
burdens of taxation on the people
squarely on Democratic shoulders. de-
spite the charges of waste and extrav-
agance against the majority.
Democratic members OF the Finance
Committee who indicated their readi-
ness to help report out a bonus bill
frankly admitted they do not like any
OF the projects concocted by the Re-
publicans in the House and Senate.
They will seek to amend the mongrel
Fordney- -McCumber measure TO pro-
vide for the payment Of cash down TO
every service man who would be en-
titled 10 Il under the measure.
They will then offer all sorts OF alb
surd proposals designed to hoodwink
the ex-service men into thinking the
Democratic party would be more gem
erous in reclIlessly squandcring the
taxpayers money il they had the
power. or course they would do moth
ing Of the sort If they did have the
power, but they believe these gestures
will impress the service voters as sin
cere.

upon the Rotary Club telling of its

that the world needs some vital force
to take the ideals Of the church into
business, and stated that that was
what the Rotary was doing. He
touched upon the needs Of helpful hui
man companionship and that its men,
bership could be acquired by Protest

STAND BY THE OFFICERS
nv Roland T. Pattenl

Our police officers propose to make
an effort to completely eliminate dis
order, especially that which comes
from intoxication on our streets. This
is very difficult task-impossible
unless they have not only the sup
port, but the sympathy of the public.
If they fail it will not be their fault
but ours. A word of encouragement
and praise from time to time will
help greatly. Criticism for mistakes
or supposed mistakes we had better
keep to ourselves for the present.
