The Guards think too much of their reputation as the leading basketball outfit of the city to let down a single in stant and those who are on the in side are having quiet laugh.

A Barometer as
To The World
Court in Illinois

An interesting barometer, as To the
way the world court stands in Illinois,
is noticed in the campaign being wag
ed by Col. Frank l.. Smith to de-
feat Senator Mckinley for the Re
publican nomination for the Senate.
When Col. Smith first announced his
candidacy and his platform it inelud-
ed opposing the world court alliance
unless thtre wtre sufficient safeguards
to protect the rights of this country.
That was before he started his cam
paign. He opened in the south part Of
the state where the people take their
politics as seriously as they do THEN
religion, some more SO. He spoke
against the world court, unless it was
safeguarded, together with the other
planks in his platform. But it was
the world court that struck the popu-
lar keynote with his audience and
they displayed rapt attention. That
they were in accord with his stand, and
more so, was manifest. He continued
on his campaign and the more people
he met the more he saw how they
were opposed to a world court of
any kind. He visited some of the
northern counties and the same con
ditions prevailed as in Egypt. Now he
apparently is opposed 10 a world
court of any kind as he is out with
a challenge to Senator Mckinley 20
debate the issue.
Our guess is that there will be no
debate. Senator Mckinley may have
his faults but one of them Is not the
faculty of hunting trouble. lie has
announced that he would vote for
this country entering the world court
and he probably will, but it is our
guess that he will not be so proud of
his stand that he will insist on broad
casting it to a waiting constituency
who will want to know why.
If the rest of the doWn-state vote
is anything like it is in McDonough
county, and the indications are that
this is the condition, the majority is
about as overwhelming against Tie
world court on any condition as was
that cast for the water works prop
osition in this city. Col Smith has
been in politics for great many
years and as chairman of the State
Committee led his party 10 an over
whelming victory on each occasion
This shows that he is an astute poll.

lose the advantage he has gaining by
his stand on this question and he will
