The boy whose thumb yesterday won
him the title Of Washington marble
champion nearly lost the fruits Of his
victory-a seasons free admission to
the Washington Baseball Park-when
Owner Clark Griffith had difficulty In
spelling his name on the pass.
Jonas Uniholtz, tow-headed new
conner to District marble competition,
defeated the fashy veteran defender
by one marble. Jack Acree, Is, who
led the field in the last three years
and previously was State champion
in Georgia, managed to maintain q
slight lead through the first four
games, but was overreached in the
last Of the fve-game round.
Commissioner Hazen shot out the
first shooter promptly at 1880 am.
His marble darted toward the center
OF the ring, passed through four
alleys" and left without moving any.
He nudged Mr.. Grifith in the ribs.
Il guess I must be out Of training
like your ball team right now!" he
said.
In the first game "Speck" Acree-
who gets his nickname by an obvious
ability to win any freckle contest
was given an advantage by Tagging"
closest to line scratched in the dirt.
This gave him first shot at the 13
marbles in the 10-foot ring. Playing,
as Hazen put it, with "lots Of old
English" on his shooter, Acree later
took advantage of an alley that Jonas
knocked to the edge of the ring.
Jonas, two years younger than his
rival, trained for the battle by pedaling
his bicycle all the way from his home
at 3144 Westover street Sc. His form
was at no time nervous, even during
loud bursts from the tuba Of the band
of the National Training School for
Boys, which played throughout the
contest.
He Is a student at Stanton School,

tournament was sponsored by the De-

RESEARCH
EXAMINES ITSELF

(ChriStian Science Monitor)
Since the start of the century, research
and engineering have experienced growth
in popularity practically unduplicated in
history, because the layman, though un-
able to fathom theory, could easily ap-
preciate applications to everyday living
Now the pendulum seems on the verge
of swinging in the opposite direction as
leaders in applied science (invention and
engineering) point to decade just pass
ed in which there were few outstanding
gains per dollar and manpOwer eXpendi-
ture. They comment that further prog
greSS is dependent upon admitting our
ignorance instead of hiding it behind
high-sounding scientific terms
General Motors Charles Kettering OBJ
serves 'some people seem to think that
natural science has gone SO far that cul-
ture and social progress has been unable
TO keep pace, which of course is foolish
ness =. We don't know very much about
anything.
The greatest difficulty research sees
on its horizon is the decline of co-opera-
tiOn among established scientific institu-
tions-accentuated partly through indi-
vidua rivalry for public acclaim or COM
mercial gain, and partly through reduced
support by private benefactions at time
when endowment earnings are reduced
and taxation discourages charity. The
decline of cooperation is quite apparent,
for example, in astronomy. An analysis
by 1erkes Observatory of the exchange
of astronomical publications in subscrip-
tiOnS as large as so per cent in some
instances.
If present conditions continue, research
sees itself locking either to industry for
its pport-though industry cannot be
expected to underWrite much fundamen-
tai research for which there is no prom
ise of commercial application-or to gov
ernment. Whichever way the path lies,
top-notch technical men feel that if their
profession is to keep its hard-won posi-
tion, future leaders will need a firmer
grasp on the ideal of cooperation, and
that this ideal must be pursued interna-
tionally. Research can have no artificial
boundaries. Progress of individuals or
nations depends upon the free exchange
of ideas and methods

Bruce Carton Says
Speech Not Completely Free Isn't Free at All

and completely; the New Jersey
politician quite as clearly has an
equally broad and mcompromising
disbelief in free speech.
And while we have got past the
time when all good people felt that
a young person who danced was a
young person whose soul was in
danger. we still seem to have a
number of citizens who entertain
similar views about freedom of
speech.
Not many people would so as far
as Colonel Kelly, of course; yet his
stand is simply the II believe in
free speech. but" theory carried
to its logical conclusion.
For the point is that if speech
is not completely free it isn't free
at all. Once you go beyond the
ordinary restrictions which the libel
laws and similar time-testcd, fun
damental statutes impose, you are
heading straight for Colonel Kellys
goal. There is no valid halfway
point.

PORTRAIT OF THE NATION
Riverside Press

N1NINtISIut lcSSD
The small town would be thoroughly
black and blue if all the ''slickers" wise
cracks of the last few decades had been
punches. Suddenly treatment Of an en-
tirely different nature is given in a de
scriptive newspaper article published in
the Big Town
The article is long, but in a nutshell
what it has to say about the small town
is this:
The small town man is an individual
list who believes in the virtue Of work
and thrift and honest dealing" He
speaks his mind with bluntness and keeps
his eye sharply peeled on local civic af-
fairs. He will not tolerate graft. He
takes a pride in living within his means
and making the local government do the
same thing. He believes that an Ameri-
cans first concern should be the affairs
of his own country. His life is "largely
a matter of making an honest living
educating his children so that they can
do better in life than their parents have
done ;. living in peace and harmony
. -. and finding pleasure in the simpler
things Of life
The observation is made that no other
American group is more typical of the
nation than the smalltowner. In that
case the nation should do all right

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common

Creomulsion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy
less potent than Creomulsion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to Soothe and heal

Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-

refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-

1t is only to be expected thaI
the silliest of all definitions OF
Tree speech should come out of
the bailiwick of Hague of New Jer-
Sey.
This definition was voiced by Col,
Hugh Kelly. secretary to Governor
Moore of New Jersey. Addressing
a pro- Hague rally the other after
noon. Colonel Kelly declared:
There is cnly one problem to Tree
speech, and it won't take me l5,O0O
words to explain it. BY free speech,
the Founding Fathers meant man
should say what he wanted to IN his
own home as long as he didn't
propose overthrow Of the govern
ment.
And somehow this reminds us OF
an anecdote handed down from
the strait-laced 1880s, when a very
prim and puritanical fresh-water
college in the middle west had an
iron-clad rule against dancing.
According to this story, the dean
of women in this college was having
a meeting with the matrons of the
Womens boarding houses; and one
matron said that number of the
girls liked dancing because of its
gay pleasant rhythm; would it be
permitted. after all male callers
had left the building. for such girls
to dance a bit with each other?
The dean pondered, then deliver
ed herself solemnly If any girl,
she said. felt that she simply must
dance-if the urge to express her
self rhythmically was just over
powerlng-let her retire to her own
room alone. lock the door and pull
down the shades. There, in private
and solitary splendor. she might
legally dance to her hearts con-
tent. But not otherwise.
Between the position of that
sanity and long departed dean and
the position of the Hague-ite who
maintains that free speech is quite
permissible if a man confines it to
his own parlor, there is an amusing
parallel.
The parallel lies not in the fact
that each person contrived to take
ridiculous attitude, but in the
fact that each one obviously had no
use whatever for the activity under
discussion. The 1880 dean clearly
disbelieVed in dancing. flatly, finally

POST MORTEMS
IN ORDER AGAIN

The annual post mortem season has ar
rived.
Only the bravest-and the most fool
hardy-will attempt this early in the
game to dissect last Tuesdays election
returns from AZ states with any idea OF
telling what they mean.
The only thing readily apparent is
that there has been throughout most of
the nation a more than normal swing
away from the New Deal.
The fellow who attempts to prove
conclusively that il is anything more
than temporary shift is liable to leave
his reputation stretched across a chop
ping block.
One thing is certain, however.
The New Deal will find it harder in
1888 to put over its legislative program.
Another thing is as sure as politics.
From now until next election date,
President Roosevelt will be the target
for attacks, personal and political, aim
ed at dissuading him from third term
ambitions.
Gaining 20 seats in congress when so
would have been a normal gain, the Re-
pubicans are going to be hard to man
age when the administration places
must legislation before the legislative
body. The anti-New Deal Democrats,
elected almost without an exception, will
not forget the attempts made to read
them out Of the party. That means more
trouble for the New Dealers.
America, for the first time in six years.
may witness a congress in rebellion
against the administration in January
of 1889
On the other hand, astute administers
tion politicians may not offer an oppor-
tunity for political sharp-shooting by the
opposition. A presidential election year,
1910, is in the offing Neither Republi-
cans nor Democrats are liable to forget
that.
1t is not safe to predict, but it is
fairly safe speculation that the next con-
gress will see one of two political STRAIT
egies adopted:
The administration, rather than invite
direct attack, may turn seni-conservative,
holding back unusual legislative plans
until after 1910 and forcing the Repuh-
licans to manufacture their own issues;
or the administration may open up with
the full force of its New Deal program
and depend upon Wading through the
thick of heated battle to public ap-
proval.
Whatever happens, 1899 will be an
interesting political year.
