The Illinois Primaries.

Returns from the Illinois primaries,
though not complete, indicate the de-
feat of Senator William B. Mckinley
for nomination for another term by
Republican candidate who pitched his
campaign directly on the issue of the
World Court. Senator Mckinley ia.
vors the adherence Of the United
States to the court with reservations
and so voted in the Senate. Mr..
Smith, chairman Of the Republican
State committee for Illinois, opposes
any form of adherence to the court.
He was aided in his campaign by
Senator Borah, who went into the
State and made number of speeches.
The conclusion is plain that the ver-
dict of the Republican voters in Hi.
nois is adverse to the action Of the
Senate in adopting the protocols for
American adherence to the World
Court with reservations.
Whether this action in Illinois Is
an indication Of sentiment on this
subject elsewhere cannot be definitely
determined. There are other than
World Court questions at stake. Sem
ator McKinley's opponent, chairman
of the Republican State committee,
has been cultivating the field for some
time while the Senator has been at
work In Washington, rendering valu
able service to his State and to the
Nation in his legislative capacity. 1t
may be that the World Court issue
was not after all the determining
question, but that Chairman Smith
simply proved stronger with the peo.
pie than the incumbent. If in other
States primaries were held with this
issue definitely drawn and with the
same result, it would be fair con-
clusion that the majority of the
people do not favor American adher-
ence to the court regardless of reser-
vations. ~
On the Democratic side of the Illinois
primaries the race was a walkaway.
George E. Brennan, Democratic State
boss and one Of the national hierarchy
of the Democracy, scored an over
whelming victory over his contestant
for the senatorial nomination. He was
running as wringing wet candidate,
standing for the maximum of modi-
f1cation and repeal. He flung his
challenge as an anti-prohibitionist
without the slightest reservation. He
has been nominated as the Demo
cratic candidate almost unanimously.
But it is to be noted that the total
of his vote is at the present reckon.
ing very much less than the total of the
Republican votes cast in the same
primary.
Thus, yesterdays Illinois voting in
dicates two rather diverse tendencies.
One is that the majority of the Re-
publican voters Of the State do not
favor American adherence to the
World Court, and the other is that
the great majority of the Democratic
voters favor drastic modification and
possibly repeal of the prohibition law.
Just how these two verdicts will COM
bine at the election in November re-
mains to be seen.

A Blow at Traffic Regulation.

Another blow was struck at traf-
fic enforcement in Washington yes-
terday when the Commissioners
ordered Director Eldridge and Mai.
Hesse TO confer and recommend
abolishment of certain regulations in
order TO cut down the number of ar
rests. This action climaxes the long
string of uppercuts administered 70

Congress created the office of traf-
fic director. but failed either clear

propriate enough funds for it's proper

uaordinary decisions in traffic cases;

approved; the Police Department

squirt of activity. only a grudging
cooperation and q section of the
public whose toes have been stepped
ON by the PRONUNCIATION of essential
regulations is bitter against traffic
enforcement of any kind.
And now, because Washington is
getting enforcement for the first

to be totally Indifferent and con.

is proposed to abolish them. These

WI Is for WI.

The question For whom Will WI
be-" is with waverings and huctua'
tions in the response gradually an
swering itself.
Last Autumn Chinadom disputed
whether WI Pei-fu with allies repre-
senting Central and North China
would Join Feng Yu-hsiang. represent
ing Mongolia and Red Russia, to elim-
mate Chang Tso-lin, representing
Manchuria and Japan. or would COM
bine with Chang to crush Feng. IL
was recognized that in either event
the two survivors, having disposed of
the third member of the triumvirate.
would fight to a finish the question of
ultimate supremacy between them
selves.
For Chang and Feng and WI hate
and fear one another. No one OF
them can resist the combination of the
other two and the game played be-
tween them is to so maneuver as not
to be the isolated third whom the
other two combine to crush.
The Peking government, represent
ing Chang and Feng. some months
ago proclaimed WI q rebel and or
dered Feng to attack him, which Feng,
acting on safety first principles, wise
ly proceeded not to do. Next Feng,
after Chang had with difficulty beaten
and killed kuo, one of his subordinate
generals. who at Feng's instigation had
deserted and attacked him, denounced
Chang as the arch traitor to China
and called on all Chinese to combine
to save the country from him. And
last month WI and his allied gen.
erals issued a formal proclamation
stigmatizing Feng as the traitor who
was betraying his country to Bolshe
vism. WI hates Feng as a double
- traitor who treacherously betrayed
him personally when, as Wu's trusted
lieutenant. FenG deserted him at a
crucial point in the battling a few
years ago between Wu and Chang.
How has Wu answered last Au-
tunn's conundrum For whom is
Wu?" First his allies co-operated with
Feng to chase Chang's forces out of
China proper into Manchuria. Then
WI co-operated with Chang to attack
Feng or to threaten him with attack
and finally to drive him out of Tien-
tsin and Peking and into self-exile in
Mongolia or Russia. And lastly, with
Feng personally eliminated, Feng's
army is apparently combining with
WI to send Chang back to Manchuria.
Thus WI has been, first with Feng
against Chang, then with Chang
against Feng, and finally with Feng's
soldiers against both Feng and Chang.
He has been consistently and all the
time for WI, and, he proclaims, for
China as against Soviet Russia. Japan
and the rest of the world.
What picture will the next turn of
the handle Of the Chinese Kaleidoscope
produce?

Russian Monarchists.

It is reported from Paris that the
Russian emigres who just held a meet
ing there to promote the restoration
of the monarchy failed to agree upon
a formula for an offensive against the
Soviet. A motion for the formation of
a permanent committee to carry on
an active struggle to drive the Boil
sheviki out of Russia was rejected by
a narrow margin. This leaves the
refugees without a directing force to
coordinate their resources and en-
ergies. Factions have developed
among the emigres, who early in the
conference developed the usual three
groups of right, center and left. the
right comprising the nobility, the cen.
ter the merchants and financiers and
the left the industrialists. The mem
bers Of the center and left are prac.
tically the only ones with any means.
the members of the right all being
without financial resources and there
fore with nothing to lose and every.
thing to gain. The right is numerical
ly the strongest faction. Under the
rules of procedure a two-thirds vote
was necessary to adopt the resolution.
Out Of Asst delegates POT voted for
the formation Of the committee and
LAG against. This negative vote with
fourteen abstentions prevented the
necessary two.thirds. The result is
that the anti-Bolshevik movement is
left somewhat in the air, and the
failure to adopt definite program has
caused a feeling of chagrin and bit.

Off in the Lead!

There have been many wonderful
ball games in Washington, but none,
save perhaps the concluding contest
Of the world series of 1924, that gave
the faithful Capital followers Of the
sport quite so much joy as that of
yesterday opening the season Of
1926. AS a rule pitchers battles, as
they are called, are not especially
thrilling. The base ball crowd
usually prefers a hard hitting con-
test with plenty, of action. Yester-
days was a pitchers contest of an
unusual character. Opposed on tho
pitching mound were two veterans
of the game, one, the local represent
ative, the dean of pitchers. Walter
johnson was starting his twentieth
consecutive season in major league
base ball. He never pitched a better
game. Not a run was made for flf-
teen innings off his delivery. Only
six hits were collected by the enemy.
Only three bases on balls were al
lowed by the grand old man" Of
the game. Nine Of the foemen struck
out. Some pitching! And his op-
ponent in the box did almost as well.
At the outset, indeed, Rommel, famed
for pitching strategy. looked slightly
the better of the two. But that was
only in the beginning. AS the game
went on and on, and still on. past the
legal limit, the big man in the white
uniform, acknowledged master of his
craft, one Of the most beloved ball
players ever in the game. grew bet
ter and better. And in the fifteenth.
