Some years ego, similar tactics were followed in Q drive against gambling in this city, with outside enforcement officers coming here to make the arrests on bench warrants.

Campaign Song History

The brown derby became the party
emblem, but all the enthusiasm that
followed in the wake Of the stirring
campaign song. Sidewalks Of New
York" fell short Of victory.
After the killing Of the fatted calf
in the Winter Of 20, the American
voter turned restlessly from the Re-
publican party and 22 millions went
to the polls in 1892 to cast a vote
for Franklin D. Roosevelt and the
New Deal
The eyes of the Nation turn eagerly
to Philadelphia. Already the Repub-
lican candidate, ALI Landon, is be-
fore the people. From the wind-swept
plains Of Kansas come Landonites,
singing to the tune of Three Blind
Mice" the song Three Long Years:
"Three long years!
Full of grief and tears ...
He took our shoes and he took our
coat,
He got our shirt and he got our
goat,
He took us to sea and sank the
boat
For three long years!"
Wistfully, the American voter
watches the Democratic stampede to
Philadelphia and impatiently waits
to see what kind of more abundant
slife' Franklin Delano Roosevelt will
offer in 1895 to surpass the Republic
an-Jefferson platform of ALI Landon
of Kansas, "a typical prairie State"

captains diary. with a wealth Of de-

captains diary. with q wealth of de-
tail.
The diary, entitled simply "A voy-
age to the South Seas" was published
in 1877, about eight years after the
longboat reached the shores Of hos.
pitable Tofoa with its crew nearly
dead from starvation and exhaustion.
A drawing Of this boat and maps Of
the voyage by the captain himself
are reproduced In the diary. The
tattered condition Of the copy In Alex
andria shows that 1t was much sought
by readers; it must have made an as
founding topic of news at that time,
as 1t has made exciting fiction" at
the present time, though the fiction
has followed the actual account very
faithfully.
Bligh. reveals himself in the diary
as an iron disciplinarian, ordering
men to be fiogged for petty errors;
but on the dreadful voyage in the
longboat, new side of his character
emerges-strict fairness to all and
consideration for the weak. In each
days record he notes the exact
amount of provisions distributed to
each, bread and water being weighed.
Those who seemed to need it most
badly were given q small portion of
wine. Part OF the provisions consisted
Of fish and sea birds caught en- route,
and so dire was the need of food that
no portion-legs, head, or entrails-
could be discarded. A careful divi-
sion Of the captured creature was
made by the captain, and the portions
distributed by chance. In one entry
he notes: This afternoon suffered
great sickness from the nature of part
of the stomach OF the fish which mad
fallen to my share at dinner"
There are other best sellers, novels
and historical romances, hidden in
the stout leather covers of old books,
tor the man or woman who has the
ambition to look for them, and the
founding of public library in Alex
andria, with the collection OF rare
books opened to the public for the
first time, looks like a remarkable op-
portunity for Washingtonians as well
as Alexandria residents.

YANKEES ARE BIG 'IF' CLUB OF 1886
 PENNANT DASH
Will Match Pitchers With New York Anytime, Col.
 Iins RetOrts
BY FRANK MURPHY

Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Boston, January 10 = (Up) - General Manager Eddie Collins of the Boston Red sox tossed Q fresh log onto . red hot off-season hase- ball controversy today by calling the New York Yankees the Big "If" Club of the American League.
 Remarks of Manager Joe McCar- thy of the Yankees to the effect that the New Workers were the team for Mickey Cochrane's Detroit Tig- CTS to beat got under Collins skin.
 Mccarthy was quoted as saying, among other things, despite the acquisition of Jimmy Foxx, Doc CEamer, Eric McNair, Johnny Mar cum and Heinie Manush. The Red sox were " just on improved ball club; that the Bostons lacked pitching depth; and that the Yan- kees with Gomez, Ruffing, Broaca, Tamulis, Murphy and Q couple of others had the best hurling staff in the circuit.
 On the Warpath
 Taking up each allegation ia turn, the former Athletics and White Sox second baseman, now Tom Yawkey's right hand man, retorted heatedly;
 T see that Mccarthy claims he is 'all set .. that is, "if' Crosetti rounds back into shape, If Dc Mag gio comes up to predictions, If Lefty 0oMet2 regains his old effective ness, and Q lot more Ifs. Those are pretty big ifs, particularly that concerning the youngster who has never played big league ball before" !"
 If our pitchers are not as good as those with the Yankees, I'll eat my hat" Collins continued. "0omeS, of course, is as good as they make 'em, but Mccarthy can have tho rest of his staffs Take Gomez, 0eh- rig and Chapman out of the Yankee lineup, and the team would finish up behind the eight ball"
 No Business
 Collins said 1t made him laugh" to read about McCarthy's supposed difficulties in trying to negotiate trades for the Yankees.
 "lIe never makes any trades" said Collins. "At least he has never tried to do any business with us-- and we were ready to talk business with him at any time. There's been c lot in the newspapers about him wanting to get Manush. Rumor had him trying to send Ben Chap man here and take Manush in his place. But he's never made any proposition to Boston. When you try to do business with them, they give you no satisfaction" Collins added that the Yankees apparently expected to have things given to them" Recalling reports that the Yankees would have liked to secure Pinky Higgins, Philadelphia third basenar, and Buddy Myer, Wash- ington second baseman, he asked, do they expect to have them hand cd to them on golden platter?"
 "Ill say that if the i930 Red sox have no more to worry about than the Yankees" Collins said In conclu- sion, "their worries won't Do too tough"
