Lathrop Losing Out
 In Election

The lead of Austin E. Lathrop ov. yer Major George Albrtcht last week was all wool and a yard wide. Latbrop was gleefully named as the next Republican National Commit teeman. But Lathrop supporters forgot that "allwool shrinks" even though a yard wide. For the lead of Lathrop as reported at present writing is a scant 55 votes ahead and some 400 votes to count. A large proportion of the 400 out standing votes are unfavorable to Capt. Lathrop.

Fake Draft Bill Exposed
 By Senator

The measure generally known as the bill to draft capital and la bor" in war times was declared to be a fake by Senator Smith W. Rrookhart, himself a veteran of two wars. in a letter to Mrs. Vir- gina Bedell, Department Com mander of the American Legion O: Iowa:
 Yours in reference to the Johnson Camper universal draft bill receiv- ed I am unalterably opposed to this bill, and I think you and the Le- zion would be, too, if you under stood it's sinister purpose.
 A Guarantee of War Prifits
 "In the first place, I would not ccnfer any such autocratic powers on any President before a declara- ticn of war.
 In the next place, I will never consent to drafting men for war un- less capital is drafted on the same terms. THERE IS NO SUCH PRO VISION IN THIS BILL.
 Instead, capital and commodity prices are to be stabilized, which means a government guarantee of war profiteering.
 I have promised the Legion members everywhere that l would stand for drafting of capital at the saule low rate of pay that men themselves are drafted, and, of course, I will keep this promise.
 An Incentive to Make War
 II am in favor right now of giv ing pensions to all soldiers of the World War upon the same terms they are given to soldiers of the Spanish-American War, and I want to tax incomes and fortunes thas were made in war profteering to pay the bill.
 This will do something towards peace and towards stopping anoth- CT war, but the Johnson-Cappec Bill WHICH GUARANTEES WAR PROFITS, will be a tremendous and overwhelming inducement for the big industrial class to again put us into war whenever depression comes along"
 SMITH w. BROOKHART Frederick J. Libby, Executive Se- cretary of the National Council for Prevention of War, speaking of this same bill, declared that:
 .'Whatever may have been it's original form, it is fraud, BE- CAUSE IT NEITHER CONsCR1PTs CAPITAL NOR TAKES THE PRO- FITS OUT OF WAR

For and Against the Gull.

 It easily to be foreseen that the seagull, game birds, would not be lacking in defenders. There has been occasion Tor the court of public opinion to appoint special counsel. Let ters coming to The Times run about four for the gull 10 every one against him.
 The significant thing about most of these letters. however. is that they are apologetic rather than exonerative. Generally they offer pleas in avoidance of major responsibility for the destruction of fish and birds Only two or hree have written in praise of the seagull as a fine, clean who, ,esome and altogether desirable feature of outdoor life in the great Pacific North west All others admit, directly or by easy n- ference that the seagull is up to the tricks of which he is accused, but insist that his de- predations are Of small consequence by com parison with the harm wrought by others and particularly by fishermen
 Some of the letter writers, doubt unn- tentionay, are not quite fair to Mr Munro Wyckof, whose theory with respect to the gulls started the discussion MT. Wyckoff in fact is ardent conservationist of all useful wild life he favors no one means of wanton destruction over another His contention in substance is that mankind has need for the things that the gulls destroy than it has for the gulls them selves; that since must have fish for food it is no more than prudent to safeguard the sources of supply from what he believes to be their most serious menace--the seagu
