Bright Election Idea

BUENOS AIRES, October 1S.-Dis-
patches from Chile indicate that in
surrectionary outbreaks have taken
place. The army and navy official
group which has been ruling Chile
with an iron fist, yesterday allowed
the following dispatch, evidently
censored, to arrive here:

a measure of precaution to avoid

ance of order and discipline will be

general of the navy, arrived at noon"
An election is due to be held on
October gath. The military junta
have new and bright idea on pre-
venting disorders during the election.
It has issued orders that all parties
agree upon one candidate. OF course,
he junta expressed its opinion that
his one candidate should be their
choice, Senior Emiliano Figueroa Lar
rain.
A Fly in the Ointment
The bulk of the soldiery were sup
posed to fall in with the idea. of their
commanders and support Larrain.
However, a ubiquitous army surgeon,
DR.. Jose Salas, recently minister Of
public health, complicated the situa-
ton" b yannouncing that he was a
candidate against Larrain.
This has probably brought about
the disorders" so much dreaded by
the military dictatorship, since DR..
Salas is appealing to the masses on
platform containing progressive and
even radical ideas and his following
among the workers are increasing in
number. - q

lowed the crowd and found themselves
caught in a tangle in which they
were held for long time.
These crowds of motorists who flock
to fires sometimes impede the progress
of the apparatas ana the work of the
firemen. They cali for the presence
of large numbers of policemen. They
increase the percentage of accidents
in the streets and greatly discommode
themselves All these considerations
have often been urged to discourage
the practice and yet 1t remains.
1t is probably Impossible to prevent

The impulse to gather at or near the
place of some uutoward happening is
greater than the sense of precaution
or any regard for personal comfort

imposes a heavy burden upon all city

Bootleggers Get Right of Way,

A decision by a Maryland County
Court that, in the absence of any local
option law. the transportation of liquor
through that county for sale elsewhere
is not Illegal is calculated to bring d.
rectly to issue the question of local
con1munity's right virtually to annul
the Federal laws prohibiting the trans
portation and sale of intoxicants.
Heretofore the county has mulcted VIC.
lators of the Federal law in heavy
fines when they were caught hauling
liquor through that jurisdiction. Now
1t would appear that the county is
declared free right of way for boot
leggers.
Lack Of cooperation between the
municipal, county and State authori-
ties on the one hand, and the Federal
enforcement agencies on the other has
proved a serious handicap in the en-
forcement of the Volstead act. This
present decision in Montgomery Coun-
ty brings to the point Of definite action

a Woman for Alderman. -

If any old-time New Yorker had
been told that the day might come
when a woman would be elected to the
Board of Aldermen of New York City
he would have received the suggestion
with jeers and expressions of scorn at
the mere idea. What" he would have
exclaimed. "a woman on that hard.
boiled board? Guess again.
And yet such q possibility looms.
The voters of Manhattan are to be
given an opportunity to pass judgment
at the polls on the selection of mem.
Der of the gentler sex for a place on
that aggressively male organization.
There are two woman governors of
States already in office. There will be
three members of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the next Congress. and
there will be one or two candidates for
election to the United States Senate.
So why not a woman alderman for
New York, is asked in all sincerity in
that city.
Mrs. John T. Pratt was nominated
for the Board of Aldermen by the F'if-
teenth Assembly District Republican
Club last night. She accepted the nom.
ination with enthusiasm, and evinced
determination to start with yigor upon
a campaign Of reform in the city ad.
ministration and to attack "Hylanism''
and "Tammanyism.'' 1t is a far cry
to the goal of election in the circum-
stances surrounding city politics in
New York at this time. The course
contains many water jumps and diff
cult hazards and hurdles, but this
dauntless crusader takes the saddle
with confidence.
One of the seconders of the nomina.
ton said She will bring to the Board
of Aldermen a presence and a refining
influence which it sadly needs" 1t was
announced at last nights meeting that

to make their slogan in the campaign

$32,64O Paid for Book
in Craze for Antiques

The announcement was made recent
ly that S32, $40. said to be the highest
price ever paid for an American book
was given for Richard Baxter's "A
Call to the Unconverted," translated
Into an Indian language. 1t is another
example of the ridulous extremes to
which collectors will go when the pas
sion to possess grips them. The in
trinsic value of the book is small: a
reprint probably would not bring more
than a dollar or two at most
This sale is particularly interesting
because the book involved is an Ameri
can publication. American ANTIQUES
of every sort are coming into favor
now. Any one who has articles OF
American manufacture dating back tc
pre-revolutionary days, especially fur
niture and chinaware, would do well
not to part with them until they have
been appraised by some one who un
derstands such matters, for they may
be worth a fortune.
The interest in American antiques is
of comparatively recent origin and
probably has not yet reached its peak

Hot Weather Needs
Of City Animals
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
During the Summer heat waves like
the one through which we are now
passing. when the most comfortably
situated of us suffer to some extent,
my heart goes out Immediately to the
tiny fretting babies in dirty, crowded
alley and tenement districts and to
the speechless birds and beasts, es-
pecially those under the unnatural
conditions of city life and dependent
upon man for care. The condition of
the babies is sad enough where pow
erty and crowded life keep them away
from the fresh air and pure nourish-
ment babies should have, but at least
All possible under the circumstances
Is done for them by their mothers,
often aided by welfare workers.
For the animals l feel in different
way, for. unfortunately. too many
folk who call themselves good Chris
tians, who respond on the instant to
the cry OF need of a human being,
seem to think, and, sometimes, indeed,
boast, that they feel no compunction
to bother themselves where the lower
creation is concerned. though every
day indebted in scores of ways to
the creatures they ignore.
These heat waves bring need of
mercy to both man and beast, and
40 OliC uuly " RESPOND
where need is apparent The very
least any one can do is to keep fresh
water available for their own pets and
for the neighborhood strays. There
are persons who call homeless ami.
mails nuisances; they often are, but
through no fault of their own. These
same persons might not only rid
themselves of the nuisances, but act
humanely by feeding such for a time

the. question of whether a minor
judicial jurisdiction can ignore and set
at naught the Federal statutes.
Unquestionably the Federal authori.
ties have the right to enforce the law
in Montgomery County or any other
local or State Jurisdiction. They may
make arrests anywhere within the
county Cor trial before Federal Court.
If the County Court can disclaim jurie-
diction effectively it abandons the field
of law enforcement in respect. to this
particular offense and invites the &c.
tive presence of Federal agents.
The spectacle thus. presented of a
local court declaring a hands-off policy
at the very gates of the National Cap
ital with respect to the enforcement
of a Federal law which applies to the
entire country is not particularly re-
assuring. 1t makes the task of Fed.
eral enforcement somewhat more diff.
cult through widening the area of pos
sible transportation of liquor without
molestauon. for Illegal sale and dis

belief that the Federal enforcement

Bathing Beach Sorely Needed.

The lack of a public bathing beach
for Washington is now being keenly
felt. People, who want TO go swim
ming" during these hot days. when the
Thermometer is making records for the
Capital, can find no convenient places
where they can safely and decently
bathe. The bathing beach in the Tidal
Basin has been closed by act of Con-
gress as a result of an effort to pro-
vide a second beach there. Private
swimming pools are in great demand.
but are too few to meet the public re-
quhements.
Yesterday boy was drowned in the
Eastern Branch while swimming be-
yond his depth in dangerous current.
His companions could not help him,
rescue him. Notwithstanding this
fatality, other boys were swimming in
the place a short time after the body
was recovered.
This is probably only the first of a
series of fatalities in local waters this
season as a result of the closing of
the public beach in the Tidal Basin.
There is no provision in sight to re-
heve this situation. Inquiry is being
made regarding the healthfulness of
bathing in the Potomac. but it cannot
be completed before the close of the
Summer. Meanwhile there is no fund
available for the construction of a
public beach, even If the water should
be found to be sufficiently free from
pollution to warrant the establishment
of a bathing place on the river banks.
1t is inconeeivable that Washington
should be permanently deprived of a
public bathing place. The matter should
be presented to Congress at the next
session In such manner as TO lead to
the provision OF funds for public bath
ing facilities. 4 city located, as the
Capital is, at the confluence of two
rivers, with abundance of water within
easy reach. should have ample public
swimming facilities.
