One Thing Remains

With everything changing
CASUALLY for the worse), it is
good to find one thing which
does not change-the peremp-
tory tone of the Anti-Saloon
League. It would be rather pa
thetic to hear its leaders con-
fess that a vote to reconsider
will be taken as a vote against
prohibition; but the tone of
command forbids all pathos.
Our congressman are being or
dered around just as they were
in the good old pre-panic days
ordered and threatened. They
must not resubmit the question
of prohibition to the people, be-
cause if they do the Anti-Sa-
loon League will defeat them
at the next election. And we
know what a job is. these days.
A friend of mine has summed
it up in a neat phrase-there
are no bad jobs. Not even a

Executives of The Stars third
annual tournament made the
brave decision that Is, instead Of
8 players as in the past, would be
admitted to the grand finale, to
be held three weeks hence.
This win give Northern Virginia and
Southern Maryland two more repre-
sentatives than heretofore. making
four for each. Washington viii have
its usual four and one other. The fifth
will be Harry Fraser Saunders. the
1880 metropolitan champion. who was
waived through all preliminary play
this year.
A SUGGESTION that the grand
n final be q round robin was re-
jected on the ground that 1t would
be drawn out and would rob the an
nual scrap of the experts Of much Of
its punch.
So the big title will be decided by
elimination, with each match to con-
sist OF two out OF three 5e-point games.
The leading performers deem this dis
lance sufficient to avoid fiuke results.
One important change was made in
the Washington section Of the big
