eligible to hold office under the COM

prohibition. Mrs. Ferguson is. in the
judgment Of the court, qualified to
stand for Office.
In this decision there will be a
general assent throughout this

conditions and the peculiar circum-
stances of Mrs. Ferguson's candidacy,
the issue in this case that has just
been decided, and which will now he
appealed to higher court, is whether
women may run for administrative
offices. This question Judge Calhoun
answers in the affirmative. It is un-
doubtedly in accordance with the
spirit Of the times thus to declare
women eligible.
Should there be proof Of a so-called
conspiracy for the holding of the title
of the Office by one person while
another directs the government, that
question may, as the court says. be
advanced upon evidence for specific
hearing, but not until election. In
other words, until the election of the
candidate in question 1t is a moot
question which the court cannot take
into consideration.
To disqualify women from office on
the ground Of sex would be contrary
to the spirit Of the nineteenth amend.

times as well, as Judge Calhoun de-
clares. Women have been pronounced
by the fundamental law to be qualified
to vote in all parts Of this country.
Those who vote may be voted for, and
may serve if the people will.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

he is in Washington, Woods Hole,

In light Of pending events at the
League of Nations, Japan is likely to
have harder time than ever to find
a diplomat willing to become Ambas-
sador at Washington. Late news
from Toxic is to the effect that Mr.
Hanihara's vacated post has been Of
fered in vain to several notables. 1t
is realized in Nippon that the immi-
grafton issue has severely strained
Americn- Japanese relations. The Am
bassador Japan sends here would be
expected to achieve something ap-
preaching a miracle, for TOXIC con-
fidently expects that our present en-
barge on Japanese immigrants will
some day be lifted. Baron Matsui,
late foreign minister and a member
of the Japanese delegation at the

White House callers who perform

to talk report that Mr.. Coolidge con-
templates election day with serene

Frank w. Stearns Is authority for
the statement that nothing ever

cal crisis of his career is said to be
no exception to the rule. Mr.. Cool
idge has run for office SO many times
that the suspense of campaign is
an old story to him. Seeking the
presidency of the United States is
bigger game than aspiring to the city
attorneyship of Northampton. But
White House visitors who knew Mr..
Coolidge in early Massachusetts days
and have opportunity of observing
him now declare he Is the same i'm
perturbable and impenetrable person
he was then. The President looks
upon possession as nine points in the
political law. This observer made

Willis J. Abbot, old-t time Chicago

theory that the 1924 presidential cleo

In the early Spring OF this year, long
before the national conventions and
before La Follette's third party inten-
tiOns were known, Abbot wrote
couple of editorials in the Monitor

Champions.

1t may be the thrill that comes
once in q lifetime" but whatever the
future holds for the Capital, Washing
ton has at least scored the supreme
triumph Of q base ball major league
championship. For a generation and
a half the local patrons and admirers
Of the national game in this city have
been dreaming Of this achievement.
They have seen the Washington team
trail along season after season at the
tail end OF the procession. They have
seen it rise twice to second place.
They have grown callous to the jibe
Of other Americans about Washington
being first in war, first in peace and
last in the American League" But
they have always hoped that some
day a team with the "W" on its uni
forms would win the flag.
Now It has come, that coveted place
at the top, come Unexpectedly, come
with practically the same team that
trailed last year, but under new,
youthful, skillful, resourceful leader
ship.
To say that the Capital is delighted
is to put it mildly. Thousands who
have never before been really interest
ed in the fortunes Of the local repre-
sentatives in organized base ball have
become enthusiasts. Those who have
heretofore deprecated the idea Of
being aroused over the performances
Of 25 or so hired men" playing pro-
fessional game under rules and condi-
tons that may at any time shift them
to another city, have caught the fever
and are shouting with the rest.
This victory Of the Nationals, which
Washington hopes is but the token of
a greater victory a few days hence, is
the result Of good management. To
Stanley Harris belongs, and is univer-
sally given, the credit Of leading his
team to the front and holding it there
against a heavy handicap, and through
the nerve-straining period Of one of
the hottest finishes in the history Of
the game. To his capable manage
ment of the various temperaments of
his players, his encouragement at all
times, his judicious selection Of pitch.
ers, his persistent spirit is now to be
attributed this remarkable achieve.
ment, which is cheered by the whole
country as never before has a cham
pionship been greeted.
One name Of those in the ranks of
fhic a NJ .rr-,nosno ;e
on the lips Of all who follow base ball
fortunes-Walter johnson. For 1s
years he has pitched for Washington,
his only major league club. He has
been recognized as one Of the greatest
pitchers ever in the game. Year after
year he has toiled in the most dis.
couraging conditions, pitching as well
with the tail-end team as with a pos.
sible contender for the flag. Season
after season the hope has been ex.
pressed by base ball followers through
out the country that some day he
might perform in a world-series con.
test.
Now that hope is to be fulfilled
Next Saturday, weather permitting
Washington, with Walter Johnson in
the box, will face. the New York
Giants, formidable foes. versed in
world-series strategy, a great team, a
team that is hard to beat. Johnson
Barney" as he is affectionately
known in the base ball world-will
have millions Of people roofing" for
him. For Washington, whatever the
chances in terms of base ball dope, ;
| is the prime favorite Of the country in
this forthcoming engagement.

Clark Griffith,

Washington's enthusiasm for the
success Of the base bail team repre-
senting this city in the American
League should include sense Of
gratitude for the persistent confidence
and able administration Of Clark Grit
fith, who started his local career as
manager and then became principal
owner and president Of the organiza.
tion. Himself a base ball player of
note, one Of the greatest pitchers Of
the game during his time, manager
Of other teams, he brought to Wash
ington a new quality in management
In the first year Of his leadership the
local team, for the first time in it's his
tory, reached second place, perform
ance which was repeated the next sea
son. He believed in the possibility OF
a pennant winner for Washington.
During all these years Of his connec-
tion with the local club he has striven
to that erd, making combinations and
investments, developing the ball park
expanding it's facilities, trying ex-
periments with players and with man
ayers. With smaller resources than
some Of the teams located in greater
cities, he has been under handicap,
but good judgment has finally pre-
vailed over longer purses. He made a
master stroke last Winter in the selec-
ton Of his present manager, to whom
he gave full power in the handling of
the team. and to whom he now gives
full credit for its success. To Clark
Griffith, therefore, good sport, good
friend. is now to be paid the tribute
Of Washington's esteem. and to be
given the congratulations of a CRATE
full city upon his crowning achieve
ment.

SHOOTING STARS.

A Weary World.

A Weary World.
Old World swinging round the sun
In the same Old track,
Grinding days out. one by one,
And getting nothing back.
Wouldn't blame him much if he
Slipped trace some day,
Romping off in careless glee
Through the Milky Way.
Old World has been toiling hard
Ten or twenty years.
Gentle prospects have been marred
Hopes gave way to fears.
Everybody needs a rest
For a week or two.
Old World has to do his best,
With still more to do!
Old World had an awful fight;
Ran himself in debt;
Tried to get things running right
But hasn't done it yet.
Maybe he would learn to smile
In his 'customed way.
If he'd just lay off while
And take a holiday.
