Butler has the reputation of belong
ing distinctly to the conservative
group in his party, but since the
Cleveland convention "old guardsmen"
say he has shown, in some respects,
almost preference for the progress
sives-not the LaFollette Progressives,
but the more progressive of the reg
ulars. grM5
For instance, it is understood he has
sought for advice concerning political
conditions in the northwest mainly
from Senator Howell of Nebraska, at
the same time turning deaf ear to
numerous suggestions that Senator
Curtis of Kansas is an older hand at
the game, and a safer advisor, accord
ing to "old guard" ideas.
Senator Gooding of Idaho, too, has
been almost entirely ignored as a
counsellor, in favor of the much more
radical Senator Borah Of the same
state as Gooding.
That Senator Lodge of Massachus-
etts is out of favor is no surprise. He
opposed several of President Cool
idge's pet policies on the Senate floor
before Congress adjourned.
But why Senator Watson of Indiana
seems also to be on the outside is
more of puzzle.

The police should give a little attention to

WHY WEAKLINGs CAN WIN.

A 59-year-old man raced a jockey-ridden
horse in London, England 10 hours day for
six days. The man., G. w. Hart, won. He ran
345 miles, the horse 337 miles
The horse could easily out-distance the man
early in the race. But Hart had more endur-
ance.

war.

In this race between a man and horse
the man winning, you have a clear-cut iustra-
ton of why brilliant men are often left far
behind by men of inferior ability, in the race
for success.
Natural ability and influential friends often
count less than endurance.
In this case, endurance involves several
things: |

erage brain to 'beat OUT the superior brain in

SEEK TO LIMIT
GROWTH Or POPPY
Woman Would Reduce Produc'
ton of Opium Despite Ac-
tion of League Commission

GENEVA, Sept. 19.-Mrs. Ham
ilton Wright of Washington intends
actively to continue her endeavors
TO secure a limitation of the pro
duction Of opium IN those countries
which grow the poppy plant, despite
the failure of the League of Nations
Opium Commission to find any So
luton of this problem. At a re-
cent meeting of the Opium Com
mission Mrs. Wright introduced a
resolution asking the council of she
League to approach the govern
ments Of Persia and Turkey to as
certain whether they are contem-
plating the substitution of other
crops for such opium as IS produc-
ed over and above the legitimate
world requirements, but in view Of
the objections raised by various Eu-
ropean delegates, she withdrew her
resolution.
The Opium Commission seems to
feel that there is, no practical way
of forcing any individual country to
curb It's poppy planting short of a
decision to send an army of enforce
ment into the affected countries. As
nobody thinks seriously Of going to
this extreme, the experts have franz
ed project to be submitted to the
international Opium Conference in
November which provides for the
setting up of an international board
Of control to handle the whole ques-
ton of narcotic drugs and which
stipulates that every country shall
make an annual estimate of its re
quiremcnts in opium and narcotic

For two hours prior to the arrival
of the planes which the crowds
wished to see, other planes of all

General Mason Patrick, head Of
the air service, had gone out with

the world flyers, just as though
they couldn't find Boiling Field,
after having made their way oven
arctic and tropic waters.
Brig Gen. Billy Mitchell, wearing.
spurs and carrying swagger stick,
also was up in the air with an IS
cort plane.
The result was that when the
flyers arrived, they swept in out off
the clouds in a group of a dozen or
more planes which made it impos-
sible for spectators to identify the
ships which had made the historic
fight from those If the escort, cay

Navy Department Adopts Policy
of Secrecy Long in Use
Among Other Countries

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The
United States navy has at least come
around to the policy generally OBJ
served by European nations of strict
secrecy concerning implements of
national defense. The custom of a
hundred years is being set aside
in the case of the new mine laying
submarine for which $6,150,000 mas
been appropriated. Beyond the fact
that her plans call for width of
beam, speed and cruising radius be-
yond anything known in that type,
details of the new submcrsible arc
jealousy guarded.
No nation among the signatorlcs
to the Washington arms ronven-
ton permits inspection Of its navy
yards in which construction is in
progress upon vessels not covered
by agreement. Heretofore bus
slight restraint has been imposed
| by the United States.
Both England and Japan are
known to have made great strides
in their newest auxiliaries. the
British submarine S XII having
aroused especial comment, although
not the slightest detail is known
generally of her capabilities. In
the case of Japan, it has been said
officially that the United States
government is ignorant of the poten-
tialities comprised in her newest
cruisers and destroyer leaders.
