Several years ago George W.
Wightman, of Boston, donated a
trophy similar to the Davis Cup
and the nations were invited by the
United States association TO send
their women players over to COM
pete annually for it, but the war
interviewed and the project was
dropped for the time. Now this
coming match revives the probable
ity of the woman's Davis cup COM
petition being inaugurated.
This event will also serve as the
dedication of the new stadium at
Forest Hills, an attraction gladly
welcomed by the West Side Tennis
Club, for it was planned carly in
the spring to open the new ampi-
theater on those dates, and the
problem had been to furnish a
program worthy Of the occasion,

a few years of his life than in his
native country where his public SER
vices covered period of almost half
a century. That is because the
most remarkable, the most memora-
BILE, thing in his life was his willing
ness to leave France and all the OPP
portunities for pleasure and dis
tinction that he enjoyed there to of
fer himself and, if need be, his life
for a cause that he felt to be the
cause of humanity. In so doing he
became a symbol forever of the
spirit in mankind that leaps over
the bounds of tribe or sect and
counts itself the soldier of freedom
and justice everywhere.
Few men have done more for
France than Lafayette, and he did
most of it when as boy of twenty
he left it for the United States. His
generous deed bound the two coun-
tries into a firm friendship. The
memory of his services to America
had more than we realize to do with
the enthusiasm with which our peo-
ple at last took the field for France
in the Great War. General PERISH
ing's famous epigram before the
grave of Lafayette was not mere
rhetoric; it expressed in three words
the eternal gratitude of a great peo-
pie.
Washington was quick to appre-
ciate the value of Lafayette TO the
cause of independence, and quick
To respond to the charm and nobll-
itv of the young Frenchman' char-
acter. Theirs was one of the immor-
tai friendships in history. Ihe re-
lation was not, as in most OF the
other famous cases, the relatlon pc
tween brother and brother but that
between father and son. If Lafayette
cheered and mellowed washington
washington strengthened and ma
tured him. He would nave oesn
less of a man in all respects II ne
had found some other than Wash
ington to be his guide and trleno
during those years of his first youth.
And Washington's love Tor La
favette is one of the most engaging
manifestations of a character that
at times seems almost cold IN lts
lofty elevation.-Youth's Compan-

NOT ALL PLAY

Those who may have the impress
sion that our schools are running to
athletics, or play" as some are
wont to say, (no pun intended)
should have heard the high school
VS.. normal debate last Thursday
night, or some of the other debates
from time to time which have taken
place among high school pupils.
Hearing these verbal battles one
cannot but be impressed with the
amount Of study and depth of re-
search with which the participants
80 into their subjects. There was
a time when ii would appear that
the country had the bulge on the
town in the matter Of debates, but
of late the town schools have come
to realize their great worth, and SO
debates are held quite often They
should be encouraged as much as
possi bic.
By the way-and we did not in
tend to say it, but our observation
has been that the incessant cigaret
tuggers are rot very often among
the keen, clear headed boys found
on these debating teams.

WAGON COMPANY MUST Sc

BERS OR QUIT BASKETBALL

On account of the expense 10
which the members of the wagon
Company Basketball team is at IN
maintaining the class of basketball
here which has been offered the
fans during the past season, and the
fact that the receipts do not cover
expenses, it has been practically de-
cided to disband the company team
and cancel the remaining games OF
the season.
The manager of the team, Cap
tain Jaynes, is not in favor of doing
it in case the public evinces enough
interest in the team to keep 1t
alive. This can be done in only one
way-by persons eligible joining as
contributing members for the per-
iod of year, at cost OF $500.
Contributing membership in the Ma
tional Guard is open to four classes
of people, namely: Boys between the
ages of sixteen and eighteen years.
men between the ages of As and go
years, married men of any age, and
men who cannot pass the national
guard physical examination because
of physical defect.
Enlistment as a c0ntflDullhS
member in a national guard orSanl-
Zation has many advantages, among
them being exemption from jury
service for the period Of enlistment,
the privilege of using the armory
for recreational purposes on the
same footing as the active member
ship, and not the least being that
by enlisting as contributing mem
Der you show your interest in the
national guard as part OF the
Army of the United States.
The officers and men of Wagon
Co. No. 124 have endeavored to give
to the citizens of the twin cities a
military organization of which they
might we'll be proud-and they
have done it. They have also been
jealous in their efforts to give to
the towns the best that they could
get in the way of sport-having
built up the best basket ball team
that ever appeared in the county,
They have won game after game
/ from the states best players, hay
ing defeated the Columbus Mendel
Tailors this season two games out
Of three The Mendels had claim
ed the championship OF Southeast
ern Ohio for several years before
this season.
Now it is UP 70 the fans whether
or not the Wagon Company Basket
Ball team continues to TIE finish OF
the season. Neither the team nol
the Company is begging all the.
ask is that if you are eligible fol
contributing membership in the ma
tional guard and are approached or
the subject that YOU at least give
! the solicitor q hearing; and remem
Der, this is the only way in which
the basket ball team can finish The
season.

ceived by either Captain Victor l.

lawmakers.
And now the senate has been as
foolish as the house, although the
country gave it credit for better
judgment. Senators could have
stopped the senseless raid on the
treasury, but the pork call was
strong. The senate added another
blunder to the long, long list found
in the record. Near the end of what
should have been business recon-
struction session, the senate was
weighed in the balance and found
to be lover of pork.
Congress has supplied abundant
justification for the rebuke the vot-
ers gave it last fall The voters were
right. There was need for a change
The present Congress refused lead
ership from the outside when it fail
ed to develop it within its own
ranks. 1t has frittered away it's
chances and lost it's opportunities.

try when the pork eaters go back to
private life to stay. Speed the day.
No, the foregoing was not taken
from a Democratic campaign book,

as its slogan ''The news unbiased

CHUCKING DICE FOR JUSTICE

Occasionally we run onto some
old-fashioned person who still clings
to the belief that Justice is universal
and infallible. who looks upon
court as a sort of sacred bull and
upon a jury of "twelve good men
and true" as the defender of public
rights and the nemesis of evil doers.
We want to tell these old timers
a little story.
A few weeks ago four gangsters
hired a taxicab at Cleveland. On
the edge of the city they beat up the
driver, robbed him, threw him out
and stole his car.
A few hours later they drove into
Columbus, broke, hungry, in need
of gas and oil to run the auto into
Indiana where they planned a bank
robbery. Just as they were stop
ping in front of restaurant which
they had decided to "stick up" two
Columbus policemen, searching for
them, approached the car.
AS the officers stepped onto the
running board, the bandits opened
fire. One policeman was killed, the
other shot. Then the car sped away.
Lying in the street, the wounded of
ficer killed one bandit. The three
others were captured later.
They were given separate trials.
One was convicted of first degree
murder, without recommendation
for mercy. and sentenced to death.
The jury was out ten minutes
The second was convicted Of first
degree murder, with recommends
ton for mercy, and sentenced to life
Imprisonment. The jury was out -
hours.
The third was. convicted of first
degree murder, with recommended
ton for mercy, and sentenced to life
Imprisonment. The jury was out "a
hours.
The verdict in the first trial was
unanimous on the first ballot. In
the second trial a majority favored
the death penalty for many ballots
but one man held out against it and
finally won the II stubborn" ones
over. In the third trial the vote
woman declared she never would
others changed.
The facts in all three cases were
the same. Witnesses were the same.
or equally innocent. Yet one got
death in 10 minutes, another missed
it after IL hours and the third had
terribly narrow squeak after
sweating blood around the clock.
These yerdicts were compromises,
pure and simple-or, rather, just
simple. In the last two cases, the
jury did not really consist of II per
sons but of one only. One insistent
juror made II others agree $50 they
could get it over with"
We are not discussing the facts
in the case. We are not demanding
death or Imprisonment for any of
these men. We are merely using
their cases to show how justice is
served in our courts today under our
present jury system. We might just
as well chuck dice.-Columbu Citi-
