into the limelight as one of the great
contest riders of the country.
And what an ovation as he came
back behind the pick-up-man, pale
from the exertion but unexcited, and
with no sign of elation over his amaz-
ing performance! Such a shout as
greeted him-and from people who
are not given to shouting-people
who have seer nearly everything the
world has to offer and had thought
there were no more thrills left in
them, yelled like Comanches.
All credit to frankie Lasater-To
say that Cody is proud of him is a
tame way of expressing it.
There must be something in the air
or the food up on R~attlesnake that
makes riders, for Jimmy Turf, with
whom frankie Lassater is staying,
put up the rides of his life in the sad
die and bareback 'bucking.
When he came out of the chutes on
Nasty Baby, Plumb Pizen and Blue

Lou Ericsson, who's wrist was

ran over him, said he did not mind

Johnny Weintz of Hyattville, who
took third money in the finals, ex-

day was because he had three ribs
broken. The omission seemed ex-

Hope for Alley Dwellers.

If the corporation counsers inter
pretation of the alley-closing law is
upheld it will simplify a very dis
agreeable and threatening situation.
The act provides for the abandonment
Of all dwellings on alleys less than
thirty feet wide throughout their
whole length, and which do not run
straight to and open upon two streets
bordering the square and are not
supplied with sewer, water mains and
gas or electric light. The District sur
veyor estimates that Is per cent of
alley dwellers live in alleys that are
thirty feet wide, and 1t may be as
sumed that most of these are lighted
and have water and sewer service. 1t
would seem that the way is open for
saving several thousand poor people
from eviction who would probably not
be able to find other quarters. In
genuity should work out some con-
struction and application of the law
which would enable the community to
rid itself quickly Of the alleys which
on moral or sanitary grounds are
nuisances and pest holes, without
compelling the immediate wholesale
exodus which threatens injury to the
community.

Democracy and the League.

President Harding and the leaders
Of the republican party ought to be
well satisfied with the general political
situation as 1t exists today. 1t is
true the republican party is not
wholly united, and that there are diff
ferences of opinion on national and
international issues, but the party in
power presents relatively united
front when compared with the opposi-
ton And while the indications are
that differences within the republican
ranks will grow less, those with which
the democrats must contend apparent
ly are widening.
II the trend Of events today is a re-
liable indication as to what the situa-
ton will be a year from now, the
democrats are headed for wide open
split over the question of the league
Of nations, not to mention violent diff
ferences of opinion within that party
on prohibition. John H. Clarke, former
associate justice of the Supreme Court,
has formally opened his campaign to
commit the democratic party to
further advocacy of the league of ra-
tions, and expresses confidence that
it will be the paramount issue in next
years campaign. At the same time
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock, who led
the fight in the Senate for ratification
with a declaration that the league
never again will be an issue in a presi-
Dental campaign.
There is no way at the present time
by which relative support for these
two extremes of democratic opinion
can be measured. but that both have
formidable strength cannot be doubt
ed. Much is likely to depend upon the
attitude of former President Wilson.
Should he indicate sympathy with
Judge Clarke's efforts to make the
league next years leading issue en-
thusiastic Wilson and pro-league
democrats would flock to the Clarke
standard by the scores of thousands,
and the practical" politicians of the
party, who had their lesson in 1920
and are anxious to keep the league in
the background, would have difficulty
in stemming the tide.
President Harding was on safe
ground when he said at Augusta last
night that domestic affairs constituted
the chief concern of the nation today.
Having given evidence by his proposal
for membership in the international
Court of Justice that his administra-
tion stands ready to play a helpful
part in Europe. he could ask nothing
better than to have next years CAM
paign center around domestic prob.
lens. With the country In the midst
of an era of prosperity, the party in
power would reap the political bene
fits.

Agrees With Lord Cecil
In Defense of League
70 ~. p,ditoy Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
fail to find in the verbatim re-
port of Lord Robert CeciIs speech in
New York city that he said: You did
not know what was best for you
when you elected to stay out" (mean-
ing the league of nations). do find
he said: Can you afford to stay eut?"
The writer has been able to read
English for over. a half century. and
read the league of nations many
times, and never could see the scare
crows that politicians and radicals
read into 1t. Have never believed
that President Harding, ex-senator
Root, .Stcretary Charles E. Hughes
or ex-President Taft saw the mag
nified dangers of 1t either. do not
now believe that any of these dis
tinguished republicans at heart can
take exception to anything Lord Cecil
said in this New York speech. Brain
storm politicians, radicals, ETC.. may
fill their lungs with alarming hot air,
but sane civilization has burning
devotion to this great ideal to stop
war, and whether the martyred au-
thor of the league of nations or his
distinguished lieutenant, Lord Cecil,
leads the movement should not stay
its attainment. ELIJAH E. KNOTT.

fieiency OF labor declined and truck
and equipment deteriorated. Whether
these conditions were due to govern
ment control or to the times is a ques-
ton on which men disagree. Pay Of
employees in every other line Of indus
try rose to an unprecedented level
and efficiency Of workers declined.
Tracks deteriorated perhaps because
of the scarcity of man power for that
kind OF work. and because it was felt
that much OF the work could be let go
till the war was ended. Equipment
deteriorated because it was loaded and
worked as 1t never had been before,
and in the haste for winning the war
not enough equipment was laid off
for repairs, and such repairs made a
demand on man power which was not
as easy to meet as in normal times.
Many considerations enter into the
question, but 1t has been maintained
by railroad officers, and is generally
believed by the public, that the gov
ernment did not do as good a job in
running the railroads as could have
been done by the railroads themselves
If released from the restrictions put
upon them by state and federal laws.
In the present gathering Of railroad
executives are two things worth
noting. One is that the railroad man.
ayers seem to expect through the re-
mainder of 1923 a much larger volume
Of business than they now have. and
that they are considering restoring
some of the measures adopted during
the war for handling traffic.
