Take it out%of politics maybe.
Or. perhaps, remembering a recent
election, the object is to find some
way to keep it in politics.

A certain official is said to be a
close friend of a man charged with
bootlegging.
The story goes that the accused

John Skelton Williams, former
comptroller of currency, made an in-
teresting statement before congress.
He said a certain bank wanted to
borrow $500,000.
Allien asked what the collateral
was to be, the bauk's officers an-
swered "fish."
• • •
Questioned as to where the fish
were, the bankers replied that they
had not been caught yet—but were
still in the ocean.
The last statement is particularly
informative.
Inasmuch as the bank sought to
do business on fish not yet caught,
it might have been supposed that the
ones referred to inhabited the dry
land, and walked on two legs.

WOMEN BETTER BETTORS
VETERAN RIDER DECLARES
COLUMBUS. Ohifi, July 28. (By
U. P.) — Dangling damsels have
made up for the loss of aristocracy
j in the "sport of kings."
Pin money and weekly wages of
the female betting friends are flood-
ing the "pari-mutuels," Pop Geers,
famous sulky rider, declared today
in explaining the revived enthusiasm
and crowded stands that have at-
tended spring race meetings of the
grand circuit this season.
"Women are better betters than
men," Geers chuckled. "Pretty near
all of the ladies In the stands send
| down a little bet on each race of the
day and they pick some winners,
mighty often—women's intuition I
suppose you would call it. It's the
debutante and the high headed, be-
jeweled society matrons that are get-
ting the thrills out of picking a long
nhot. according to Pop.
"The women are getting free and
easy nowadays." the grizzled pilot
explained. "They are wealing the
pants. They are getting just as
■ bold as the men about where they
no and what they do."
"Pop" laid* it all on the war. Re-
sponsibility made women better able
to care for themselves and more in-
dependent, he believes.
The birth of the female "rail
birds" saved the sport of kings from
going out of business aloNg with the
other victims of the world war, he
said.

TAG WORK HEAVY
The state highway department is
rushed with the enforcement of the
automobile license law, B. E. Clark,
commissioner, said Thursday. Ap-
plications for 190.000 tags have been
received and cared for, he said,
while 35,000 or 40,000 more are ex-
pected.
Clark urged that the licenses be
bought as soon as possible so that the
counties can use the money for road
work.
When a motorist reaches Minne-

Mrs. A. L. Hazer, and each motorist

MRS. STONE
Widow of University Head Is
Too Prostrated to Reveal.
Details of Death.
BANFF, Alta., July 28.—(By IT. P.)
—Heroic guides, carrying Mrs. W. E.
Stone on a stretcher, picked a
treacherous path from the foot of
Mount Eon to Marble Creek today,
according to word reaching here.
The widow of the president of the
Purdue university was still In a
serious condition, it was reported,
and too greatly overcome with grief
to describe the eight horrifying days
during which she lay helpless in a
deep crevice beside the body of her
dead husband.
A temporary camp wp«* prepared
at Marble creek, with rough com-
forts for the suffering woman. A
party of Alpine club members and
newspaper men left here hastily
Wednesday at noon to take invalid's
food and medicinal supplies to tTie
camp at Marble creek. They were
due to reach the spot some time to-
day.
The party carrying Mrs. Stone out
of the wilderness was due there this
morning. The body of Dr. Stone is
also being brou,,t.t out and shotrld
reach here Friday night.

| When an American banker, be-
1 fore the international chamber of
I commerce, denied that the war
; had made the United States richer,
he made a statement as true as it
was startling, and it adds to th^
conviction of the economic folly of
war. The United States has come
into possession of tremendous
amounts of gold and credits, com-
pared with other countries, but, ,
as this banker went on to say.
the demoralization of trade and In-
dustry and the setback to prosper-
ity have more than offset any
seeming monetary advantage. Yet
progress toward the reduction of
war costs, which devour $92 out of
every $100 paid In taxes, is in-
credibly slow. — Christian Science

FOOTING THE BILL.
Mr. Newman had just recovered
from an operation and was talking to
a friend.
"The surgeon." he remarked, "said •
he'd have me on my feet again in j

the friend.
"He did. indeed," responded Mr. j
Newman. "I had to sell my motor
car to pay his bill."—Christian Reg-

; WASHINGTON. July 28. — Cheap
Chinese labor, indentured and bund-
led to be shipped back to China after
its period of toil is done, may soon
be provided for the sugar planters
in Hawaii, to break the trade union
spirit developed among the Japanese
plantation laborers there.
Senator Dillingham of the senate
immigration committee, and Delegate
Kalanianaole of Hawaii, have intro-
duced a joint resolution, which al-
| ready has been favorably reported in
the house, giving to the secretary of
j labor authority to admit to Hawaii
"such aliens otherwise inadmissable
I as he may deem necessary to meet
the existing emergency." whenever
j the president shall declare an emer-
gency to exist in labor shortage
either in general or in any particu-
lar class or classes of workers in
| the territory.
I This del'berate breach in the ex-
clusion wall, aimed to admit enough
coolies to destroy t ii** union stand*
lards of wages and hours of labor es-
tablished by the strikes of the Japan-
[ese unionists in the islands, is ap-
parently the official policy of the
Harding administration. It is advo-
cated by Harding's recent appointee
to the governorship of the territory.
It is an admitted step toward reduc-
ing the standard of living for the
mass of wage workers In Hawaii.
In due time the senate will have a
, chance to discuss this kind of "wel-
fare" legislation, and to ask some
, embarrassing questions of Mr. Hard-
ing.
Protests against house joint reso-
lution 171 and senate joint resolution
82 the Chinese measure—are 'al-
ready pouring in. The sinister
1 warning to labor on the mainland is
, evidently being heard.
Nevertheless, Dillingham's commit-

Unfrocked Deacon Declares
Evidence Against Him
Is Frame-up.
LONDON. July 28. (By U. P.)- 1
i John Wakeford. "the Naughty Arch"
j who was unfrocked as clergyman
I when found guilty of immorality,
I took his case to the people today.
Barred from a legal appeal since
the highest court in the land con-
victed him. Wakeford hoped to create
a popular demand for a rehearing
which would lead to his reinstate
ment in the church.
The arch-deacon will address a
mass meeting tonight at Queen's Hall
renewing his charges that he was
convicted on framed evidence.
The strongest evidence he has to
break down is that of Mr. and Mir
Charles Pugh, managers of the Bull
Inn at Peterborough, where the
arch-deacon was said to have spent
two days with a young woman he
met at the famous Peterborough
Cathedral.
Mrs. Pugh testified that she Inves-
tigated Wakeford's room at the inn,
finding there the arch-deacon's pa
Jamas and a woman's night dress.
There was no mark on the feminine
apparel but the pajamas bore the
name. "J. Wakeford." she said. The
arch-deacon denies that he wears
pajamas.
WORKMAN DANCES
WITH A PRINCESS
LONDON, July 28. (By U. P.) —
Dennis Taylor, ex-soldier, mopped
his perspiring face as he looked after
his partner of the previous dance.
"I i id rather face ;i Battery
with iny old machine gun than dance
with her," he stuttered.
His partner was Princess Mary
who paid a surprise visit to the
workmen's club in the East End
dock. She danced several times. Den-
nis was her first partner.
"I was thunderstruck when I saw
who it was," he said.
