The Iowa Question.

VIII Senator Brookhart bolt the
Republican party or will the party
fire him before he bolts? That is the
publican central committee of the
State has been summoned to meet
today to consider the Senator's status,
in view of his denunciation of Gen.
Dawes and his demand that he be
withdrawn from the presidential
ticket. Tomorrow the Senator is to
speak at Emmittsburg in his sena-
torial campaign, and ii is reported
that he contemplates there including
the President in his denunciation and
climax with a reputation of party
and ticket and Il declaration for
La Toilette.
If the State central committee de-
cides to beat him to it" and declare
him to be out of the party. his own
Reputation Of the national ticket will
fall somewhat fiat. But what will be
the result of the parting, whether
effected by Mr.. Brookhart's own
initiative or by that of the State com.
mittee, is the question of moment.
viii he be able to carry bodily over to
La Toilette all or major percentage
of his own following. which has
nominated him for another term in
the Senate by an overwhelming ma
jority at the primary? Or will that
following regard him as worthy solely
of support in his own candidacy while
voting the straight Republican ticket
otherwise?
Iowa, as has been already stated, is
one of the important States in the
Republican equation. Its IS electoral
votes haEe an unusual value in this
campaign, inasmuch as it is expected
that La Toilette will carry certain
other Western States which have
heretofore been rated as dependably
Republican. What Brookhart may do
in Iowa, moreover, Norris may do in
Nebraska, where he is running for
reelection with extreme care not to
divulge his presidential preferences.
More and more the campaign con-
centrates between Coolidge and La
Toilette, not that there is any likeli-
hood that the latter will secure more
than a small minority of electoral
votes, but that he may get enough to
blockade the electoral college and so
throw the election into Congress,
where his following may effect an
ti-Coolidge choice. The Brookhart
detection, whether spontaneous or
compulsory, may have an effect upon
the result.

Roosevelt and Enforcement,

In his speech at Oyster Bay last
night, accepting the Republican nom.
ination for Governor of New York, Col
Theodore Roosevelt avoided a down.
right commitment on the wet and
dry question other than an emphatic
declaration for enforcement of exist
ing Federal law and a promise that
he will work for the re-enactment of
the State enforcement law, which the
Legislature repealed last year. AT
the same time he gave no hint how
he felt about the suggestion that Con.
gress amend the Volstead act to per.
nit the use of light wines and beer,

For the Living
Melville E. Stone.
BY GEORGE AIDE.

The men who WELD the most influ-
| ence seldom make the first page.
Some who have right TO be celeb
rites deliberately hide behind their
| Jobs. In the case of Melville +. Stone,
for a good many years he has given
publicity to the doings of other world
builders and suppressed all informa-
tion regarding his own spectacular
achievements.
Spectacular" is the word. To col
lect and sort and classify all the news
Of the world every day and then get
it to hundred million people is a
real chore. MEL Stone held down
the job for a long stretch of years,
smilingly and without turning a hair.
While he was chief executive of the
Associated Press he was in close
touch with all the important doings
everywhere on the map. The biggest
compliment you can pay him is to
record the fact that the news service
he rendered was SO unbiased and
above suspicion that every newspaper
in America that could afford to pay
for it wanted to get 1t. The editors
who handled the press kilograms
every day could not detect any propa-
ganda in the "A. p" reports.
Melville Stone never got over be-
ing good reporter. He always found
! in the news Of the world a SAVIOR of
romance. He retained his first en-
thusiasm and the pride of achieve
Inent. and that is why he is still a
boy at IS
He founded the Chicago Daily News.
1t was the first low-priced paper in
the Middle West Mr. Stone had TO
/ bring in a carload of pennies from
Washington and put them into the
circulation so newsboys could make
change.
He was the first publisher in Chi
cago to rush extras" into the street.
| This was during the labor riots in
1876, in Pittsburgh.
The paper acquired circulation,
wealth and influence, after which
M. b" sold out and went seeking
new experiences. The job to which
he ascended. general manager of the
Associated Press. brought him into
contact with notables of Europe and
America
For matter Of so years he chatted
inquiringly with presidents, poten-
tates, prime ministers. politicians,
promoters. business moguls and all
sorts of large and small persons seek
ing the welcome glare of publicity.
These must have been interesting
years for Melville E, because at prac-
easy and the party Of the other part
was trying to make favorable i'm
preston. If he had carried an auto
graph album he would have a list of
all the celebrities who have been in
action since 1890. And it would be
! hard to find the name of a man who
had succeeded in holding back any real
news from Mr.. Stone
Now he is merely advising the
younger men how to run the ma
chinery. He lives at the Lotus Club,
in New York, and is so Juvenile and
popular that possibly il was a mis-
take TO let his age slip into a para
graph above. Well. anyway, no mat
ter what his age may be-and who
could ask for lovelier Christmas pres
'ent than that?

from organized base ball. because
they undertook to bribe player on
the Philadelphia team to throw" to
New York the game which would
finally decide the championship of
that league. Player Sands Of Phila-
delphia Immediately reported the offer
to his manager, who brought it to the
attention of the base ball commits
sioner, Judge Landis, whose presence
in the game is an assurance Of the
highest integrity. Investigation
proved the facts, and the suspension
followed swiftly.
1t was an inconceivably foolish per-
fOrmance, this attempt to bribe a
player. There was little doubt Of the
outcome of the race. There was every
chance that the player would, as he
did instantly resent the imputation of
corruption. 1t was a shockingly dis
honorable thing to do, inasmuch as
both players We're participants in a
sport which is founded for patronage
upon the faith of the public in it's
SquareneSS.
Only one of the two banned men is
actually a player. The other is a
coach. The action of Judge Lands.
which is to be cheered by all fans and
followers of the game, will not,
fortunately, affect the chances Of the
Giants in the series. Washington
wants to win the series and the title
of world champion. but it wants to
win on merit and not by reason of
the sudden Gripping of the opponent.

Obregon's Service
Likened to HidaIgo

1t is too early to say, but it is quite
possible that impartial historians Of
the future will rank Alvaro Obregon
with Hidalgo and Juarez as "a true
friend of an eXemplar for the peo-
pie of Mexico. The outlook as to his
standing will be clearer six months
from now when Obregon as president
shall have laid down the reins of
state.
expires in December, has served in
a severely testing time He has en-
counterd stiff difficultis. He has had
to contend valiartly with personal
political ambitions like those that
have been a curse upon Mexico for
many years. To an outsider it appears
that Obregon has tried to steer an
intelligent course between conserva-
tism and liberalism, taking into due
account the while the force of tra-
dition on the one hand and the call
Of reform and progress on the other.
stances Is commendable in high degree.
His has been a task worthy of the
ablest statesmans
We are told in a dispatch from the
border that Obregon has made up his
mind to retire to private life at the
so either in Mexico or in this coun-
try. 1t is represented of him that he
feels he has. served his day to the
best of his ability, and that he should
eliminate himself henceforth from the
political complex of his country and
give free and full leeway to his sue
cessor-whether Gen. Gales or Gen.
Flores-to shape his administration
and exercise the power vested in him
by the people. -
If Obregon follows his program, and
IL he keeps his name purged of dis
honor as MexiCO'S servant he will
have set an example of incalculable
value to his people, and he will go
on the scroll of the country's really
great and good men. Americans like
to think that the comparatively
peaceful and orderly national cleo
ton a few days ago is an earnest Of
less turbulent and more prosperous
times ahead for Mexico. Diaz kept
the peace with an iron hand for a
third of a century. Obregon may have
initiated a. longer era of peace with
gentler and still more effective
methods On this Score we shall have
better light within the coming year.

Dry Law Not in Force
In the Philippines

To the Editor Of The Star:
The press reports Mrs. Mabel WILLIE
brandt, Assistant Attorney General in
charge Of prohibition enforcement. as
saying that the prohibition law ap-
plies to the Philippine Islands. Is
this fact, or is the lady mistaken
A most cursory examination of the
laws and decisions of the Supreme
Court would indicate that she is in
error. The court held in the insular
cases, 1S2, United States to 391. that
the Constitution of the United states
did not apply to the Philippines ex
poprio vigore, that is, of its own
force, but only when, and to the eX-
tent. Congress made it applicable
(See also Dorr versus United States
1875. United States 149.) The only
portions of the Constitution ever ap-
piled to the islands by Congress are
those amendments thereof embodying
the bill of rights, which il did in the
act of July l. 1902. and which today
rs practically the constitution or or
ganic law Of the Philippines. It.
therefore. necessarily follows that
the eighteenth amendment has no
application to the islands, as Con-
gress has not made it applicable
The second question is, Does the
Volstead act apply to the islands,"
A final and complete answer in the
negative is found in the first section
of the aforesaid act of July l, 902.
which provides in substance that no
act of Congress shall apply to the
Philippines unless it is expressly
made applicable thereto in the act it
self. Congress has never made the
Volstead act applicable to the Philip
pines, either in the act itself or 9TH
erwise, which it has the power, how
ever, to do. II, therefore, follows
that neither the eighteenth amend :
rnent, nor the Volstead act has any
application whatever to the Philip
pines.

Hero or Goat?

no VIII be the hero of the world

stand out as the one man who did
most 70 win for his team? Or. on
the other hand. which will make the
one fatal error bringing defeat to
his side?
In every world series there is one
conspicuous performer, a pitcher who
turns in an air-tiSht game and thus
gains the deciding edge: a batter who
cracks out single or a double. per
hdps triple. or even a home run. in
the supreme pinch; d fielder who

quite assured that when the series is

Then there is the melancholy pros

was a series played without an error.
Nobody can ever tell what a single
error will do. 1t may merely put a
man On base. there to languish while
his mates fail at the bat. Or it may
let in a flock Of runs.
In such a series of games every
player is on his toes. determined to
do his best. For there is big stake,
not merely the honor of winning, but
the financial reward, which is much
greater for the victors than for the
losers. Sometimes this eagerness and
this determination will bring about a
blunder of judgment or of perform

Keeping the Game Clean.

Professional base ball is a clean
sport, maintained on a high standard
6 honesty and remarkably free from
the taint of personal misconduct and
corrupt intrigue. 1t has gained its
hold upon the interest and the
patronage Of the pubic largely be.
cause of this freedom from dis.
honesty. Four years ago Il scandal
occurred in the disclosure of the
efforts Of a gang of gamblers to
bribe certain players of one of the
western clubs engaged in a world
series to throw the games in order to
make a winning for the bettors. The
players who were involved were
identified, some confessed, others
were found guilty upon investigation,
and all were disbarred from organized
base ball forever. They are still
under ostracism, without hope of
restoration.
The effect of this disclosure of cor.
ruption was wholesome rather than
harmful. The prompt and thorough
punishment administered demonstrate
ed to the country that the game is
straight despite the fact that occa.
sionaIly individuals may yield to
temptation and seek profit in crooked
work.
Now, on the eve of the world series
games. comes the announcement that
two Of the members OF the New York
National League team have been
placAd on the ineligible list, which
