Editorial Opinion
THE PROHIBITION POLL.

From the New York Tribune.
The second hundred thousand
votes cast in 1.-THE Literary Digest's'
poll on prohibition shows no very
material change since the first hun
dred thousand. The percentages of
the total votes cast up to the date of
the latest bulletin give 1894 per
cent for strict enforcement, 4l.05
per cent for light wines and beers
and 22.01 per cent for complete re-
peal of the prohibition act.
The country seems to want some
form of prohibition. but is dlssatis-
fled with the present kind. II 1t be-
admitted, as seems undoubtedly
true. that those voting for repeal
of the amendment would prefer
light wines and beer to legal dry
ness, the wet forces number a frac-
ton over SO per cent of the voters.
Those opposed to a complete repeal,
however. total IS per cent.
Geographically the vote is dis
tlnctly interesting. The dryest re-
gions are found west of the Allie
ghanies and east of the Rockies.
The wettest districts are in those
States having big cities and indus
trial centers. Twenty-Five States ia
vor complete prohibition. twenty
want light wines and beer and two
vote for repeal.
In some OF the States the vote is
still too small to be accepted as de-
fnitive. In others. however. it is
large enough to give a quite clear
indication of public sentiment. When
the third or fourth hundred thou
sand votes are counted it should be
possible to form an accurate esti-
mate of the state of public opinion.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Imports

ton will be made between the var
ious kinds as may be necessary TO in
sure sufficient supply for the var
ious needs and. in the case of wine,
for sacramental purposes. Importa-
ton will be permitted upon the
affidavit of rabbi, minister or
priest that there Is not sufficient
domestic supply of the particular

Except as TO sacramental wine, the
regulations provide that basic per-

in CLEAN SWEEP
SOIons Scored Easy Victory
Over Shockers Yesterday.
Home Stay Successful, But
Hard Trip Is Ahead.

The SoIons made a clean sweep of
the series with Hutchinson, winning
the final game yesterday, to !.
Incidentally the game wound up the
long home stay in which the Solons
played a total of fifteen games, win
ming eight, losing six and tying one.
The Topeka club lost three out of
four to Coffeyville Immediately upon
the return home after July 4, won
two out of three and tied one with
Muskogee, broke even in four with
Independence, and cleaned up on the
Shockers in great style. The series
Solons have lost on the home grounds
so far this season.
The Solons left last night on a road
trip calling for fifteen games, and
tough, the club should manage to
remain in the first division, or above
the 500 mark at least If the team
can break even on the trip or come
within half a game of 1t, the Solons
will be in the running as a pennant
contender at the finish early in Sep
| TENDER. II the present road trips
prove disasters. the club will do well
to finish in the first division.
Meet Five Clubs.
Starting at independence today, the
Solons will play every team in the
| league, except Hutchinson and Salina,
before returning home. The club, as
Topeka fans well know, will de well

pulpa and Muskogee. Coffeyville is
nearly as formidable but the Solons
should take two out of three from
BartlesviIle provided they can get an
even break in the umpiring. Man
ager Cooley and the Topeka players
have complained bitterly heretofore of
the ''homer'' tactics of the umpires
while playing in the south, and with
the teams coming in on the final
stretch an improvement is hardly ex-
pected. The umpires have permitted
| the players to ride them until 1t is
| almost impossible to stop it now, with
out running a risk of being killed.
Decided in One Inning.
The game with Hutchinson yester-
day was decided in the first inning
when the Solons scored five runs on
five hits and two walks. Hutchinson
scored a lonesome tally in the second
on a walk to Herriott, two choice
plays and an error by Bross, but 1t
didn't matter, especially after the
Solons scored three more IN the fourth
and another in the eighth. Solid hit
ting was responsible ror most OF To-
peka's runs as eight OF them were
earned. In three innings, the Solons
hit Goode at will, while Pierce was eff
fective at all times. In three of the
twelve hits made by the Solons, three
double plays manipulatedN by the
Hutchinson infield featured the con-
| test. The score:

THE DOPE BOX

BY winning from Hutchinson yes
terday, while Muskogee was losing to
Bartlesville, the Solons left town iasr
night IN third place.
II the soIons win today and the
Yarlks lose. Topeka will advance to
second place only a half game behind
Independence. Which shows how the
first division clubs are punched.
In the forty-eight games played at
home so far this season, the Solons
have scored a total of 237 runs against
169 made by opponents. In the
thirty-three games, making up the
first half of the home season. the
Solons made 1872 runs against 122 by
just played, Topeka made SIS runs
against At scored by opponents.
In the fifteen games just played,
season so far, the Solons won eight,
lost six and tied one. In the forty
eight games played at home, the team
has won thirty-one, lost sixteen and
tied one. Which shows that if the
Solons could play as well on the road
as they do at home there would be
little doubt as to who would win the
lpennant- In the fourteen series at
home, the Solons have lost only two.
But thar really isn't SO important
What the fans are chiefly interested
in now is the number of games the
Solons can win during the next six or
seven weeks.
The season will end on September 4,
a period of forty-six days, and the
Solons will play forty seven more
games. the schedule calling for a
doubleheader with Hutchinson here
the day the season closes. Twenty
one of the forty-seven games will be
played at home.
The Solons will play fifteen games
on the present road trip and will re-
turn home August for three games
with Salina. The club will then go
to Hutchinson and Independence, for
exception of three games at Salina.
August %. 20 and so, it will be back
home to stay.
Hereafter, when a player assaults
an umpire like the Independence trio
did Van Graflan here last Sunday,
they are to be fined $50 and suspended
for ten days. The second offense will

Rose also made a catch that was a
