1 Today the Governor's light for the rn
fldment of a local option law appears to
lewon. A vveck ago, oti tho morning of
Ua now famous conference In the Execu
ftiri Mansion, tho local option movement
undoubtedly waa "on the Bklds," and the
ftnly chanco of passing tho bill appealed

optlonlats clhim 23 votes, with four In
doubt. They have 23 votes pledged, they
assert. How many more Senators would
.TOte for the bill If It should coma up for
t vote In the Senate Is a matter of con
jecture, but several Senators who have
ibeen silent so far, undoubtedly will sup
port the measure 1C they have to declaie
their attitude publicly.
The flsht for passage of local option by
the House Is not over. Ono hundred and
ffflii. fnvnrnhln votes are needed In that
branch. If the members now pledged to
Tote for It support the measuro thcio Is
"a .rood chance of the House passing It.
Governor Brumbaugh Is using alt of the
power of his office, Including the club of
patronage, to swlnir votes for local op
tion. He undoubtedly can Influence six
or seTtn more members to vote for his
jneaiureby giving their county leaders to
tunfenland that their allotment of State
Jobs Is at stake. He has used this method
the last week to lino up a dozen mem
r btra.
Governor Brumbaugh Is sincere In his
fight for local option and child labor, and
l In the struggle to the finish. He has
made that Dlaln to cverv one on "tho
Hill."
He is un ncalnst tho 1eoious opposi
tion, of McNIchol and Crow, and tho
Potr of their orcanlzation In the Legis
lature. Both these leaders have told the
(.Governor In so many words that they
twoie local option, and that they will

Student Refuses Membership
in Society, Considering It
Undemocratic.
A precedent of more than n century

Henlatnln Oonnid, a Junior at the Uni

fused an Invitation to loin the I'hl Beta
Kappa Soclcli. the oldest Oieek letter
fraternity nnd the most cxcluslio
honorary oiganlzatlon in tho college
world. Up Is the llrst man to decline the
honor. According to Prof. Ororgr t.
Hndzaltfl, secretary-treasurer of the Delta
Chapter of the t'nlvetslty, and his action
has caused much gossip on the campus.
Howard, who was to have been Inltlnled
nt the annual banquet last Wednesday
night, declined memberhlp In the body
because he considers such membership
In the fraternity ns creating a distinction
niuoiig students that Is not Justifiable
nnd ns exerting a harmful Influence on
deniocrncv In college life Other mem
bers of hli class deserve the same dis
tinction, he said.
The honor on which he turned his back
"has been the prize coveted by all college
men since the frntcrnltv wns founded
nt William and Marv College In t776.
Among tho manv distinguished members
are President Wilson, William Howard
Taft nnd Theodoro Hooscvelt. Tho mem

at 1R1G North Marshall street, did not
makn his decision hastily or without a
struggle Ho wrestled with the problem
for many day a after he rocelved notifica
tion of his election, and went to several
of his professors for advice They told
him he would make a mistake If he de
clined thp honor, but tho principle which
was upiiermost lu his mind, that of edu
cational democracy, compelled him to
ndopt the course which he did Although
sotno BtudentB al the Unlveislty criticise
him for his action, the majority feel that
he acted In accordance with his Ideal.
Tho voung student, who was graduated
from tho Central High School with honors
four years ago, has been at the top of his
class since ho entered tho University.

Observatory Clocks Go Wrong
Many people on arriving In their down
town ofllces -this morning thought tney
had arrived before tho usual hour when
thev looked at the grim ofllcc clock. That
l, Iho-o did who looked at clocks regu
lated by electricity from the United
States Observatory nt Washington, for
these had cither stopped or wero running
far behind time.
Tlie clocks are regulated through the
Western Union telegraph service, and as
soon ns the trouble vvas discovered the
company put a score of men out lo dls-,
i im rr iiiu poiiu hi which ine electricity
was leaking. It Ii snld that water, pos
sibly used lo extinguish a lire In the

for the difficulty.
