Rheunla attic
Agony
NOW EASILY ENDED
SAYS Mr.. James H. Allen.

II does not matter to me whether
you are disabled with cursed rheuma-
tism or have only occasional twlnges,
| know that Allenrhu, my own discoy-
cry, will stop the agony, do away with
the gnawing pains and reduce the
swollen joints.
I know it will dissolve the uric
acid deposits that have become deeply
imbedded in joints and muscles and
quickly drive every trace of rheuma-
tism from your body. l know this
because l was crippled for years and
many times was unable to work, and
Allenrhu made a well, robust, healthy
man of me.
I know because since I cured my
self, hundreds have taken Allenrhu
and speedi rid themselves of this
asOnizing sease.
No matter how severe your case,
I urge you to put your faith in the
prescription that it took me years to
perfect-a prescription that made a
new man of me after doctors tried
and failed.
Allenrhu is no laggard; it starts
right in at once: it gets into the
blood. searches out the poisonous uric
acid deposit and in two days starts
to drive the concentrated impurities
that cause rheumatism, out of the
body through the natural channels.
Through the columns of this news
paper, l authorize every druggist TO
guarantee one full pint bottle in
every instance. Sommers' drug stores
will supply you. Mail orders accept

Chicago, Sept. .f.-The Republican
party in the session of Congress, "will
do little except mark time, fill the
pork barrel and study its various can
didates for the presidential nomina-

of Alabama, declared in statement
here.
Il don't think the Republicans are
going to do anything except drift
until the election next year" said the
Alabama senator, whose friends are
supporting him for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
The League of Nations, he said,
will not be an issue in the coming
campaign, "but the fact that the Re
publican party flunked completely on
European affairs will be-" he said.

A Lively Off Season.

For an off year, with no national
issues at stake, politics in New York
state promises this fall TO present
some lively and interesting features
The campaign is for the election OF
the lower house Of the legislature and
for judges Of the supreme court. Both
Gov. Alfred E. Smith and the Tam
many chieftain. Charles F. Murphy
are described by the political writer's
as being anxious over the outcome
and are urging their followers to re
newed interest in the campaign and
the polling in November.
Boss Murphy, for the first time in
his career, it is said. has issued a
personal appeal to the party captains
in the democratic assembly districts
to get out the fullest registration pos
sible. 80 that there may be a record
breaking vote on election day. VIII
liam r. Hearst. who is opposing the
Tammany supreme court candidates
and is held to be sponsor Of an in
dependent slate put in the field last
Tuesday night. also appeals to the
voters to register and vote. And the
republicans are clamoring for full reg
istration.
The paradox is presented Of Boss
Murphy having to appeal for support
Of Mayor Hylan's administration
while Mr.. Hearst lambastes Murphy
and his judicial candidates nerci
Iessly. Paradoxes in Tammany poll
tics in New York are not novel, how
ever. and the co-workers Of yesterday
as has been shown in the past, may
become bitter enemies today.
Gov. Smiths stake in the game i:
his desire TO have an assembly which
will carry out his program Of legis
lation promised the people when ht
was elected. The republicans are in
tent upon defeating that purpose ant
their leaders claim that prospects o
doing so are bright.

A Noiseless Street Car.

1t il very important II true. From
Minnea polls and st. Paul a report
comes of the trial Of a noiseless street
car. 1t cannot be believed that the car
makes no sound in running on the
rails. swinging around curves and
crossing intersecting tracks. but II Is
belieyable that much Of the noise
which II Is the habit of cars to make
has been done away. 1t is said that
much noise has been eliminated by
discarding the old-fashioned journal
box and iron brakeshoes and putting
rubber gaskets between the body Of
the car and the trucks" 1t Is discour-
aging to read IN the dispatch that no
plans have been made for building
more OF the cars, but If a noiseless
street car can be 1t Is likely that cities
will demand 1t. Some years ago we
had long and exact accounts Of silent
rifles and cannon, and 1t seems true
that the reports of those weapons
were much reduced by the use Of
silencers. 1t was said that because Of
the discovery the battles Of the future
would be noiseless. Yet the battles Of
the late war were not quiet. Quite the
contrary. Perhaps we shall have q
silent street car, but cautious persons
should not let their hope Of that rise
too high.

American Banditry.

Robbing the paymaster or the
money messenger has become stand

Americans. Nearly every day some

master on his way to discharge the
pay roll who Is held up. Again it is
a messenger on his way to the bank
with cash who is waylaid. The thieves

Big Base Ball Figures.

, Base ball figures grow larger. Take
those relating to yesterdays first
game of the national classic, the world
championship series, in comparison
with those Of last year; for example.
A year ago the paid attendance was
36,514: yesterday it was 55,307. Last
year the receipts were $119,036; yes
terday they were $1s1,s12. Last year
the share of the players of the first
game was $60,70s; yesterdays share
of the players was sa2,775. The. share
of the clubs a year ago was s4o,47e;
yesterday it was 61,S50. The base
ball commissions share last year was
s1T.s55; yesterday 1t was s27,2s6.
These big figures were made pos
sible by the fact that the contest Is
staged this year. as last, in the largest
city and on ball park that offers
the greatest accommodations. Prob
ably If the "Yafkee Stadium" had
been built larger it would have been

Increase in Salaries.

The Personnel Classification Board
makes a statement which carries
cheer to large body Of federal and
District employees. Fifty-four thou
sand men and women in the public
service in Washington, including
1900 in the service Of the District,
will receive an increase in pay next
year. It, will be a small increase
above the basic pay plus the bonus
now paid to these workers in the pub
lie service. That additional stipend,
now classed as bonus and about the
payment Of which uncertainty arises
at each session Of Congress, Is added
to the regular pay. What Is now a
bonus becomes a part Of the perma-
nent salary, and this spells a decided
advantage. Employees in the District
thus benefited as one result of re-
classification now receive in annual
basic pay s79,241,051 and the sum
paid them as bonus amounts to $11.-
e5s,532, or a total Of regular and of
uncertain pay equaling s91.1s9.5S3.
The announcement is that THE allo-
cation approved by the Personnel
Classification Board will be reflected in
the estimates to be sent to Congress
by the budget bureau, which means
s94,S72, ,3o6 instead Of s79,241 ,051, ac-
cording to the boards method Of fig
uring." That Is an increase Of $15,-
631,255. or 1913 per cent over the to-
tai Of the basic salaries. It is an in
crease of s3,672,723, or 4.05 per cent
above the basic salary and the bonus.
1t is not a substantial increase when
che considers the height to which the
cost of living has risen. and it Is a
small increase when compared will,
the increase in pay which has taken
place in most lines Of private employ
but it is a step in the right direction

filled to capacity, as it was yesterday,
and the tremendous totals cited above
would have been even larger. For the
fact is that the world series draws to
the limit.
The opening contest was itstlf a
base ball classic, an ideal game. One
team went quickly to the front in the
early stage. Then the other team
came from behind and scored a
small lead. Later in the game the
trailing team tied the score. In the
ninth inning, with two men out, a
home-run hit scored the leading and,
as IL proved, the winning run. 1t
was a 'see-saw," such as delights the
hearts Of the fans
1t is a great game. thrilling sport,
and. however professional 1t may have
become, however commercialized, how
ever vast are the money figures in

pocket-all money messengers must
be armed nowadays-and the robber
fell. But his companions ran toward
the car, from their own motor across
the street, firing as they advanced.
Before the melee was ended the mes
senger who started the firing was
slain. The money was saved.
Conveyance of money through the
streets has become extremely hazard
Gus. Some banks in New York use
collection wagons, steel lined, with
squads Of armed men in charge. So
numerous are the payroll robberies
that a great many large employers
are paying off by check. But the
problem Of getting the cash into the
hanks remains, short of the arraored
collection car, to be solved.
This Is truly a desperate situation.
This crime of. banditry in the crowded
cities would seem to be profitable
enough to attract men despite the
heavy risk. There appears to be no
lack of recruits for the ranks; how
ever heavy the casualties from gun.
fire or from prosecutions. The rem
edy, it is plain, lies in safeguarding
valuables more securely, in making 1t
more difficult. If not impossible. for
the gunmen to seize the cash in tran
sit. To this end banks and business
men throughout the country are CO.
operating now, with the result Of a
general change Of practice.
Meanwhile the police and the courts
must be busy. Banditry in the cities
of the United States must be sup
pressed or the boasted civilization of
this country will become a tragic joke.
