Nearly two years of his *arly boy- hood were spent in Pontiac, Mich- igan, then Burnell returned with his parents to this village where the fall- owing happy years were spent n the sweet normal life of boyhood until in the early morning of his thirteen- th birthday, his spirit left tht frail and pain weakened body, and went to God, Then: have been weary months of patient suffering, with the tender, untiring care of loved ones, but he seemed to be gaining, and hopes were strong again for hU final re- covery. But God willed other wise. Burnell, was a bright, manly little fellow, a favorite with his young companions and with his older , friends, atways interested in the , things that go to make up strength of character and Christian worth. Ho had a real boyish love for. Church and Sunday School, and was faith- fully in his place there until his ill- ness prevented, 1 He was a member of the lately or- ganized Boy Scout troop of this place, and eagerly looked forward to the time when he should be able to take an active part in their work and join with his playmates and friends in the scout activities. Today in that "endless marvelous life'* to v/hich he has gone, Burnell will find hi* place and be satisfied. If he could, he would say to us now, as he said of- ten during his illness, "Don't feci so badly. I'm alright" And comfort tones to our lonely hearts as we HAD ONE BIG TIME About fifty people atten ied the annual Masonic and Easte - n 3U.r picnic held at Baughn'a Bitfft. Port- age Lake Friday and the usual en- joyable time was had. A very fine basket dinner was served by the lad- ies to which all did ample justice. After this came the ball game be- tween teams captained by W.C. Miller and Rex Burnett. This game went fifteen innings, the final score standing 31 to 31. Don Swurthout and Clair Miller were the battery for the postmasters team and Norman Miller and Walter Graves for the Burnett team. The feature ' f the game was the heavy hitting of Mar cus Graves and Rex Hurne'.t, the Babe Ruthes of the teams.

In 1^10 not many people drove auto- M mobiles in the winter on account of bad roads, motor imperfections etc. Charles Dureyea of Saginaw design- ed a car which he claimed would:>o p. Jn give service the year around. It re- sembled a buggy, having high carr- (K) ., Jn iage wheels, hard rubber tires and that day like many other cars of which are no more, was of the fric- tion drive type, The late Dr. H.F. Sigler of Pinckney who was one'of the pioneer automobile owners in this section read glowing accounts of its performance and accompanied by Arthur Flintoft, local automobile expert of that time, went to the fac- tory at Saginaw and purchased one of the cars. Flintoft drove it through to Pinckney and the Doctor started to use it in his practise. However after many disheartening failures in which he was forced to do con- siderable walking, he was obliged to cast it aside as it proved totally un- able to cope with the roads and hills of this section. It remained in stor- age in his barn until ".bout a year ago when Blsnchard purchased it for a relic. He states that it will still run but that he has not taken a..y long tours with it as yet. N. B.

WHAT CAUSES US TO SHUDDER ;! By H. IRVING KING

S OMETIMES, without any apparent cause, when engaged in work or

conversation which occupies the mind entirely, one will suddenly shudder . And then, it he is a superst i t ious per­son, he uzJi at once recall the old su­perstit ion that s'ucli u shudder means that "Some one is walking across his grave." This superst i t iou is an an cieut one, having its hasiv in sugges­tion, and i.-> common today in some di^lrici-;. Of course, il:«- person sel/.ed willi the sudden shudder, being still alive has no grave, llui [here is, some­where-a >pot where his grave wiil be.

The shudder is caused by a flight temporary physical d is turbance du'~'

chei^e. ' i mu-ly i.ncalk'i what

to "an undigested piece «>f Hut to the man supei-ati-

iuclnied, llie shudder seems for and out of p lace ; and

is uncalled for and out of place litUs't he accounted for. Allied to ig­norance is. tear. The imagination de­mands a working hypothesis? of some kimI and grasps at suggestion. The shudder suggests something gruesome — and what could be more gruesome than one's own grave? But the pluce of one's own grave is a lways ther t— wlo' should a connection between It

and its future occupant be set- up at t ha t par t icular moment? Ignorance, fear, m a n s primitive instinct to try and explain what he cannot under­stand— the ingredients of supersti t ion —otler the solution. The "grave" is being disturbed—"some one is walk­ing across it." Primitive psychology can be very minute and very logical in such cases. And there you have your supersti t ion, which appeals much more to the imagination than any ex­planation (lie doctor may give you of your sudden shudder. Besides, the su­perstit ion is so much simpler and more easily understood than the doc­tor 's explanation !

But the advice of an expert, when it is confined to his own part icular line of endeavor, is often most useful.

If an expert did not know more about his own special study than oth­er people, he could hardly qualify as an expert.

stunces which brought home that realization to its author . Bishop Cose.

Writ ten in IS'39, the composition of the hymn followed an extended tour which* the bishop had made through the Orient. There, at the seat of ancient power, where he saw the relics of once omnipotent empires long crumbled into dust, the t ru th was borne in upon him of the t rnnsj-toriness of mundane powers and the futility of earthly vanities.

And In that realization he found the inspiration for the hymn tha t has stood the test of time, the passing of the years only adding to its prest ige and establishing it more firmly among the classics that will be heard ns long as hymns a re sung. There is some­thing powerfully arres t ing in the words .

The Polaria Chronometer

I N 1SGH Uncle Sam purchased a chronometer known as the "Negus

1306"—of foreign make, but American assembly. In accordance with custom, it was sent to the Naval observatory at Washington fur adjustment and regulation for ship service.

On June 28. 1871, It was assigned to the good ship Polaris which went north on a polar expedition. T h e Polaris was crushed in the Ice. Some four years later this chronometer w a s found In the snow at Newman's bay, Alaska, >y Captain Nares of the Brit­ish navy, who sent if to his govern­ment which, In turn, re turned It to Uncle Sam.

But first she turned her Hushed face to the breeze coming up from the val­ley. It had beeu a brisk morning's work, pruning the little orchard, and the wind was refreshing.

And ordinarily it was refreshing to look off into the valley. That was what had brought her grandfa ther up here many years before, and its beauty had been p a n of Myra 's in­her i tance . But as she glanced down across the steep hills to the clustered town fifteen miles away a shade of b i t terness , of resentiuent even, came to her face.

"Myra, b o h , Myra!" rose a quaver­ing voice from below.

"Coining, grandfa ther ," she an­swered "I 've just finished."

Thi r ty feet down the narrow u % in-tain path , on the nes t plateau, v. • • a l i t t le apple orchard and some pear and cherry trees. In the very edge of these, near the verge where the view would not be obstructed, was a small vine-covered cottage, very sim­ple, for it had been built by a one-armed soldier assisted only by his young wife, but beautiful with the weather-softening years and the cloth-Jug viives. Thir ty or forty feet below, on the next mountain shelf, was the vegetable garden and wander ing up and down through the rows was a small army of chickens also an outflanking corps of turkeys. Myra looked after them.

The old man was si t t ing on a bench outside, gazing into the valley. He wore an officer's uniform, well pre­served and neat considering the j e a r s gone by.

"You shouldn' t work so hard, Myra," as the girl stopped beside him. "I will help some tomorrow. 1 have been a

I l i t t le lazy today, hut 1 got to think­ing of nearly sixty years ago and its glorious deeds and I—I forgot about home duties. I think 1 must be get­ting old, Myra—into the dreaming 8ge."

He was silent for some moments, while her fingers caressed the epaulet on his shoulder. F'resently he noticed and glanced at her with u whimsical, apologetic smile.

"The mood vva9 too s t rong for me," he explained, "so I put on my uni­form. The t rappings were so much a part of the four years that wear ing them made it seem more real. Bu: the old man 's mood will soon pass and tomorrow he will try to do his sha re of the work, and the next day—"

"The next day he will not do a thing but sit on the bench here with his uniform on and ted me about the marching away years ago and the brave deeds that followed," interrupt­ed Myra. "And 1 shall get up a nice d inner and sing some of the old war swigs Rfierward. ' We'll celebrate the ann iversa ry ourselves and won't even think of the—the reunion down yon­der. We've"—she hesi tated, then burst o u t ;

" I t ' s a shame—shame—stifim-p. g rand fa! h e r ! Your own company that you led through the war, and you the ranking officer left and they haven't even asked you to the company re­union. [ suppose it's been use we live up in the mountains and are poor. But old soldiers shouldn't think of s-uch things, pven if some of ihem are rich. It 's flint second l ieutenant ' s work. He owns a mill somewhere out West . I've heard, and is the next rank­ing officer. He wants all the glory him­self, 1 hate swell —"

"Myra, Myra," remonst ra ted the old man. "1 don't like to hear you say such things. The hoys are all true. Iinhle fellows. I know, for I ramped find fought with them four years and tha t very Lieutenant Breek once paved my life at the risk of his own. We wore like brothers and there wasn't a single cowardly or unworthy man among them."

"Then why—" "It was a long time ago. Myra, and

other things have come between. Some of the boys probably think I'm dead and others have lost sight of me through the years. We are a long way hack and. you know, T've no? been down to the town in years . It 's mere­l y - "

Myra shook her head. "You were their leader," she said,

"and it was their place to hunt you "up. The reunion Is only two days off. Maybe it 's onl.\ forgetting, but I don't like It. I—" Then she caught sight of fhe dis t ress In his face and with a quick revulsion of feeling she dropped on hpr knees, clasping the empty s leeve and caressing It fearfully.

"Forgive me. grandfa ther . " ghe pleaded. "1 did not mean to h u r t We won' t say anythfnp more about them, bur have a nice reunion ail to our­selves, and yon «-hall tell of the hrave deeds and \ will listen a s no audience aver listened before."

The old wan stroked the bowed head to ft!.v.

"So we will—so we will." he a g r e e d "Bur they were all b rave and t rue men, those followers of mine, and the ones who ore still living cannot have changed. 1 wish you could see and ! know them as they really are. I hope —" He paused with the pentence un­finished the wistfulness still ID bis face.

"Whut , g r and fa the r?"

"Why—oh, nothing. Only 1 was wondering whether we would be able to hear some of the music if the wind should be blowing strongly this way. it would be—nice."

"Fifteen miles a w a y ? " "Only fifteen miles—and if the -wind

blew strongly. We beard the ba t t le of Bull Bun twice tha i dis tance as we were being hurried to the fronr. H a r k : " leaning forward a little. Then lie s t ra ightened shaking his bead.

"An old man 's vagaries, Myra," be smiled. "I thought I heard s t ra ins of music—a memory of Bud Run, I sup­pose."

A few ruinutes Jater and then Myra sprang excitedly to her feet, her face full of wonder.

"There is music, g r and fa the r ! " she cried. "There is. Listen."1

Clearly and distinctly now it came, borne on the breeze, and evidently from beyond a bend of the mountain path, where they could not see.

The old man had risen, too, and was leaning forward with his one hand be­hind his ear to hear more dist inctly.

"I t ' s a march we used to play in batt le and after victory," he whis­pered. "I seem to hear Bob Tyrell playing it now. But Bob's dead, killed in the. wry last batt le before the sur­render. What does it mean, Myra?"

But Myra could only shake her head and wait.

Five minutes and all the time the music growing clearer and more tri­umphant as it drew nearer . Then around the bend they came, a man on horseback and two men and a dr iver In an automobile, iu which was an empty seat . One of the two men in the car was playing a sna re drum, the other a cornet.

Straight up the mountains road they came, the musicians playing steadily, changing from one march to another , all of which were old and familiar to rhe frail old man who listened with wondering but rapturous face.

Not until they had approached to within a few yards of the bench did the music cease and the horseman slide from his animal. Raising his hand in a quick military sa lute he sprang forward and caught the hand of the man in front.

"Captain," he exclaimed, his voice breaking a little, "we meet again aft­er nearly sixty years'. 1 have been out West, and returned only a few days ago to spend the remainder of my life in the old neighborhood. When the talk of a reunion began 1 made in­quiries about you and wrote let ters to several post offices. But no one seemed to know of your exact where­abouts, though they seemed to think you were still alive. Only yesterday did we hear from a hunter that you were in this vicinity. Now we want you to go hack with us and take charge of the reunion —to lead the old company, you know. And—and," hes­itatingly, "we have an easy car for you to ride in advance of us so the strain need not be very great ."

But the old leader was standing erect now, and his hand had ceased to tremble.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Breck," be swered, with the old-time ring in his voice; "but ! shall ride a horse at the head of my company, as in the old days, though the charge be only a peaceful one through the village street instead of toward the mouths of can­nons. You need not fear for my s t rength. But 1 do not understand about the music, My ears told me It was Bob Tyrell playing the drum. 'and my eyes declare it is Bob on the seat yonder. And yet 1 saw poor Bob killed?' " "~ ~ "

"I t ' s Bob's grandson. When he heard i wus' coining he insisted on coming, too, and approaching your hou^e with music. But we must be s tar t ing back for there is a long rifle before us. We have secured aeeotmnodai ions for ymi and your g randdaughte r at the hole) and the car is an easy one. You have some one you can leave to look after things ' /"

"Yes, an oh] negro woman who has a cabin just below us. I will call her."

They had been grasping hand> all this t ime and looking info each other 's eyes. Now the strong grasp loosened and the old lender went forward to speak to fhe men in the car. Myra slipped into rhe house, her face work-ins O

"I —I didn't unders tand what old comrades could be rn each other," she whispered to herself, "j never real­ized. But I know now. Hear grand­fa ther—and bis dear soldiers ','*

World Turns to Idea of Influence of Love

T h e belief that love Is enough, tha t , as Henry Dr jmmond claimed. It is the greates t thing in the world, used to be regarded as merely a pious and sent imental hope ; and the poets find preachers , prophets and philosophers who ventured to hold fast to thnt be­lief and continued to express it in thei r thousand different ways were dismissed ra ther pityingly. If not con­temptuously, as mere d reamers , fhe idle seers of an impossible era.

As the world goes on, however, the real izat ion ' deepens tha t rhe " d r e a m " has a substant ia l basis, social and economic a s well as religious and eth­ical. Love's victory, moreover, is now seen by clear-eyed th inkers to be es­sent ial to fhe future of mnnklnd. or mankind ^annot survive.—Liverpool Post and Mercury.

Mr. Weiss is the first and only American to he so honored by this world famous German insti tution. This m a r k of preferment came to Mr. Weiss In recognition of his efforts to fur ther the industr ia l re la t ions that have extended over more than a decade between the Direc tors and Scientific a n d Chemical staffs of Ger­man and American Pharmaceut ica l firms t h a t a re prominent in interna­tional indust r ia l affairs.

a ~f> Grief Speculators* Barred in Hospitals

"Specula tors in grief" are hence­forth banned from the corridors of Rome hospitals . The " specu la to r s " are gentry who habitually loiter about the large public hospitals of the Italian capi tal . When I hoy see some one emerg­ing from a sick room they endeavor to ascer ta in whet her the person visited has Just died or is about to die, find proffer cards for the under taking es­tabl ishment with which they are con necfed. The e t iquet te of this profes­sion was to approach only those per­sons who wept or otherwise showed great emotion. Competit ion, however became so great that the eager "run­ners" for fhe unde r t ake r s began flush­ing their mas te r s ' services on hospital visi tors Indiscriminately. The Romans rebelled. One of the newspapers start­ed a campaign against "speculators in gr ief" The police made several ar-re'stjj and now patrol the wards HO ihut one may visit a sick friend withou* unwelcome solici tat ions by the ad­vance agents of an under taker .

Tide$ of Pug€t Sound EnormoaM in Volume

Fuget sound, the many-braached In­let of the Pacific ocean, is one of the most plcturesqne bodies of water in this country. It* shores, once densely wooded, have been denuded for the most part by the lumberman's ar, but the MighboMng mountains offset this lots and afford a "wonderful back­ground to the scene, Although the natural beauties are many, the treach­erous waters of tbe Narrows, a con­tracted part of the sound which opens farther south into quiet bays and the ports of Olympia and Shelton, are feared by all who are acquainted with that locality. The tides are extreme and their ebb and flow causes a rush of watar through the Narrows.

Twenty'flve or thirty miles above the Narrows, in the upper reaches of the sound, the tides attain a height of twenty feet or mora. Viewed from the shore, which is generally pre­cipitous, the surging of the water as the tide sets in is magnificent, Unt this is the scene of many tragedies which occur each year. Tremendous whirl­pools are formed In the slender pas­sage and rarely have rowboats and 9ueh small craft escaped when gripped in the swirling water. Even large steamboats creak and groan under the strain of breasting these twisting cur­rents. The roar of the tides when run­ning i t full resembles the distant boom of thi surf.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS

Secretary Kellogg Goes to Paris for Signing of

Treaty to Ban War.

By E D W A R D W. P ICKARO

SECRETARY OF STATE KELLOGG has sailed for France to take part

In the ceremony of signing the multi­la tera l ant i -war t rea ty which he has negotiated with the great powers. The signing will take place ID Paris on Aagnst 27 and the accompanying pomp and circumstance will be worthy of so notable an event. Sir. Kellogg la accompanied by Mrs. Kellogg and William H. Beck, his private secre­tary. Before sailing he let it be known that he will t ransac t no other official business while abroad, set­ting at rest the persistent rumors that he would discuss naval limitation and other International subjects with for­eign officials. Before re turning to America the secretary expects to make a short visit in London and to go to Ireland,

President Coolidge, addressing the convention of the Wisconsin American I^eglon at Wausau, described the Kel­logg treaty as the brightest hope for International peace the world has ever •een and declared tha t if It had been In existence In 1914 the World war would not have been s tar ted . He con tinned :

"While It would be too much to suppose that war has been entirely banished, yet a new and Important barrier, reasonable and honorable, has been set up to prevent it. This agree­ment proposes a revolutionary policy among nations. It holds a grea ter hope for peaceful relations than was ever before given to the world. If those who are Involved In It, having star ted It, will finish It, Its provisions will prove one of the greatest blessings ever bestowed upon humanity. It is n fitting consummation of the tirsi decade of peace."

Soviet Russia hoped to he invited to sign the Kellogg t reaty with the grout powers, but Mr. Kellogg said no to Jfeis proposition and if Russia signs It must he along with the minor mi tlons. The Soviet press was bitter over this "snub." asser t ing that the capitalistic powers did not wish the Soviets to sign for that would hinder them from at tacking the Rolsheviks. Tt was snid at Riga that Latvia and Esthonia, which are constantly arrest inf agi ta tors plotting to overturn their governments, are hesi tat ing to sign the pact, since with a neighbor like Russia they would like to know what guarantees and means would be pro vided by the signatory powers to main tain peace.

X I 7 A R clouds that wore hovering W over central Europe blew away

when Marshal Pilsudski addressed his Polish legionnaires at the reunion In Vllna. Ten thousand of the vet­erans were gathered in the city whirh t* the constitutional capita! of Lithu­ania but is held by Poland, and it had been feared the meeting would be the start ing of active warfare against the Llths. But tire Polish dictator was exceedingly mild In his address, his only provocative s ta tement being: "Vilna remains mine. I received it as a present from my soldiers. They fought for it and gave It to me. which was fi very nice thing to do." Late-', reviewing the parade of the legions, he r emarked : "Ton years ago we were worried about Vilna. hut then we were weak. Vow we are s trong."

W ITH the Croatian ano. Serb Agra­rian deputies absent, the parlia­

ment of Yugo-Slavia ratified the Net-tune conventions with Italy by a ma-"oritj of only one vote, and then ad t u r n e d . This action, however, by no neans ends the trouble in that coun

i IX The opposition as-serts the con «titutlon calls for a two-thirds vote Tor t rea ty ratification, and it is gen­erally admi t ted the Nettune con sen lion* f ive the disaffected f ronts more power In their demand for home rule At the same t ime the treaty leaves Italy with no excuse for interfering in the Yugo-SIav Internal affairs. The Croat ian peaaan t i ' par ty, In meeting

in Zagreb, declared tha t Stefan Raditch, their murdered leader, re­mains " the president of the party, al­though dead," which is interpreted to mean tha t his spirit still dominates his countrymen. In Rome the ratifi­cation of the Nettue pact was hailed as an auspicious sign of the opening of an era of friendly and mutually profitable relations between the two nations.

O NE of the most Interest ing events of the week, though It was given

but brief mention in the newspapers , was the action of the Argentine cham­ber of deputies canceling the entire war debt of Paraguay to Argentina, amount ing to 10,000,000.000 pesos or more than $4,200,000,000. The re were indications tha t Brazil also would cancel Its claim against Paraguay, which totals an even greater sum. The cancellat ions probably will do much toward rehabi l i ta t ing the credit of Paraguay, which has been at low ebb owing to the huge debts which never could be paid. Jose Guggiarl was in augura ted President of Puruguay,

M UCH space was devoted during the week to comments on Her­

bert Hoover 's speech of acceptance. President Coolidge warmly congrutu lated the candidate on the address. and natural ly the other Republican leaders found It a political document of remarkable force and clarity. Nat­urally, too, the Democrats did not think so much of it, and some of the farm organization leaders called it "disappointing" because It did not out­line a specific proposal for agricul turnl relief, though he promised that a definite plan for this would be forth coming, Others of the farm leaders highly commended the section on agri­cultural relief, agreeing with Frank O. Lowden, who said: "Mr. Hoover frankly recognizes that the most urgent economic problem in our nation today is agr icul ture ; and that the solu­tion of this question const i tutes the most important obligation of the. na lion. No farm organisation could ask for more ID the way of general ex pression,"

The dr.vs were fairly well satisfied with his s tatement on prohibition, that he does not favor repeal of the Eight eenth amendment and s tands for effi­cient enforcement of the laws enacted thereunder. The wets in the Repub lican ranks hoped that he would later elaborate his views on the liquor ques Hon. revealing them as more to their liking in the matter of im>ditiral ion.

On Thursday Mr. Hoo\er left Palo Alto for southern California, planning to pass thence through New Mexico and Arizona, up into Iowa and then on to Washington.

O FFICIAL notification of Senator Curt is , Republican vice pre>iden-

T in 1 nominee, drew a hi^ crowd at Topeka Saturday and the ceremony was thoroughly enjoyed by the sen a tor ' s relatives and fellow townsmen Senator Simeon D. Fess notified Cur­tis of his nomination, and the candi­date accepted in a character is t ic speech which was given wide circula­tion through a radio hook-up of man\ stat ions,

G OVERNOR SMITH, before com pleting his speech of acceptance,

conferred with eleven farm relief ad­vocates from seven states , and also had important talk's with such party leaders as Carter Glass. Josephuy Daniels, Senator George of Georgia and Senator Walsh of Montana. Mr. Daniels, bone dr*\ predicted the South would remain solidly Democrat ic , but frankly told Mr. Smith that if his ac­ceptance uddress showed a more moist tendency than the people of North Carolina believed in, the normal Dem­ocratic majority in that s t a t e would he considerably reduced. Despite his own views on the liquor question. Mr Daniels" 1¾ warmly support ing Smith, and laughed away the thought that if elected he would nullify prohibition.

Hope for a joint discussion of the candidate 's record between him and Dr. John Roach Straton faded last week. The preacher Insisted that the affair should be held In some large hall and Mr. Smith said it would be in Calvary Baptist church, where Doc­tor Straton first made his at tack, or nowhere. The governor told the min­ister he had no intention of conduct­ing a political debate with him but wished to appear In his church to re­

ply to s t a t emen t s " t r aduc ing" the gov ernor of New York. The preacher who has not won much support for hi* uiethtKis, says he will go ahead witfc the "deba te" in the biggest hall he can hire, whether or not the governor ap­pears.

o HTO Democra ts nominated Con gressmun M. L, Davey of Kent

for governor and the Republican! selected Myers Y. Cooper of Cincin­nati. Both had Anti-Saloon leagu* support. For sena to r the Democrat* named Char les V. T ruax and the Re­publicans renominated Senator Fess Candidates- to rill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Willis a r t Congressman Theodore E. Burton, Re­publican, and Graham P. Hunt, Dem­ocrat. In Hamilton county Charles P. Taft II, son of Chief Jus t ice Taft. was defeated for reuominat ion as county prosecutor.

[_¥ ENRY L. STIMSON seems to he * -1 doing very well as governor gen­eral of the Phillipines. Last week he appointed his rahinet from members of the Nationalist party, which car­ried the last election, and the ap­pointees were immediately confirmed I'v the inland senate. In a s ta tement Senator Sergio Osmena, Filipino lead­er, said the appointment of the cab­inet ' 'shows that the government of the Philippines has returned to nor­malcy," and further "this happy ter­mination of a past crisis, this begin­ning of a new understanding, has been attained tnrough an adequate inter­pretation of the Jones law and de­partment reorganization act."

NT OT only Florida, hut all the other ' southern Atlantic vtates suffered

severely from the series of violent storms that came up from the Gulf of Mexico.

S HIP-TO-SHORE mail srvv:,e with the aid of amphibian airplanes was

successfully established when a plane loaded with mail was catapulted from the deck of the French liner i'e de France 4.1(1 miles off the port of New York and reached land in h'lout four hours. The saving in time was about

, 12 hours, amr this is expected to be increased. Eventually the s i me serv­ice will be established at the French end of the run. The extra charge for this is quite heavy

F AR from yielding to Japan, the Na­tionalist government of C h n a h<i»

sent another note to Tokyo rei terat ing its Intention to abrogate the treaty of ISOti. The J apanese government Is lust as determined to refuse revision until China acknowledges the validity of the old pact. J apan has scores] one hig point In the postponement of the proposed union of Manchuria witf) Na­tionalist China. American Minister MacMurray went to Mukden ffOffl Peking, and In Tokyo It was believed he had been Instructed to invest igate the Manchuria si tuation personally and report to Washington The Jap ­anese think he 1« not unsympathet ic with them In this mutter .

The roads will be given until September 4 to come to an agreement with the men on their wage demands. J. W. Hig-gitis, chairman of the employers ' com­mittee, declared the men rejected an offer of arbi t ra t ion, thus violating the spirit and purpose of the Watson- ! Parker railroad labor act.

One of the chief obstacles In the way of agreement which previous con­ferences and arb i t ra t ions were unable to surmount is the so-called "double- !

Campaign On to Clear Roads of Unsightly Signs and Refreshment Stands.

N t w York.—The deplorable condi­tion of ibe majority of the ruucUide ref reshment stumis that dot the high­ways UJU<J landscapes a i treu,uenl in­tervals from coast lo cuusi is oue of those public evils which, is constantly being lamented, but about which, al­though the history of the so-called "hot-dog" industry goes buck lio years , little has been done. These unsightly •little hu ts have become u real inenuee to the beauty of our countrysides .

The indictment frequently bruugh: against the American people is that we are reckless dissiputers of our nat­ural resources, our parks , landscapes and forests. While we do not willing­ly admit the truth of the accusation, we a re forced to the acknowledgment that our increasing apprecia t ion of na tura l beauty comes from the reali­zation thut much of it Is d isappear ing to make room for man's commercial­ism in the forms of gar ish posters and hideous shacks . In the past the small cumbei of a l t ru i s t s willing to correct the nuisance were hampered by the apa thy of the majority wh.c«>e a t t i tude was that since there was no taw compelling property owners to ob­serve principles of good tas te , the mat­ter could not be dealt with by indi­viduals. The yearly influx of motor­ists on our highways, however, has created a very different a t t i tude . The public, and more especially the dis­cr iminat ing motoring public, resent.* the hideous artificial subs t i tu tes of glaring bill boards and t rashy "hot-dog'' shanties' for vistas of wild flow­ers, green grass, and shaded s t reams.

Mrs. Rockefeller Helps.

The remedy is at hand and is being applied in conscientious doses in the form of a series of competi t ions for the improvement of wayside refresh-" mem stands . About a year ago, while Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. , was mo­toring through New England, she was impressed with the general hideous-ness of the roadside s tands scat tered along the way. She decided that the condition had been deplored long enough, and tha t it was time to do something about iL Immediately up­on her return to New York she com­municated with Alon Beraent. director of the art center, and placed at his disposal an initial contribution of $7,-500 to be used as a basis of a cam­paign fund to improve the appearance and usefulness of the wayside s tands throughout the country.

The announcement of .Mrs. Rocke­feller's plans brought a large number of offers of co-operation from com­mercial and civic organizat ions and from Interested Individuals. Adolf Cobel, Inc., placed at the disposal of the ar t center an addit ional $10,000 with the request that it be added to the fund. The Art Center, In co-op­eration with ' he American Civic ns>-socintion of Washington, D. C, then announced a series of four competi t ions as a means of st imulating .in interest

in the appearance and utility of the or.dside stand. The tirst contest was

concluded December 15, 11)27, and awarded prizes amount ing lo $1,000 for photographs of existing s tands fur the purpose u. s o u r i n g Information of prevail ing conditions. The second contest , which closed March lo, offered prizes total ing $3,000 for a rchi tec tura l d rawings of ideal s tands through which it is hoped to encourage the building of more a t t rac t i e sr ructures . The th i rd competit ion has Just been announced and is to be in the na tu re of a cleun-up campaign.

Geneva. — A general world-wide t ightening up of the illicit "dope" tratlic is scheduled to take place when the league's new international opium and harmful drugs convention goes Into effect on September 3o.

Although the convention was launched in 1D25, provisions were made that If could nu. only become ef­fective when ratified by at least ten states, of which seven must be mem­bers of the league council, including two permanent members.

To da te the convention has bees ratified or adhered to by nearly thirty states, but it was only Canada ' s re­cent ratification that gave the neces­sary number of council members.

THE PINCKNEY DISPATCH

J

7 It By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

N S E P T E M B E R 3 will be observed the forty-sixth anniversary of a holiday which originated in America but which, in less than half a cen­tury, has become inter­national in its scope. For that is the date of the annual celebration of Labor day and its

adven t recalls the little group of workers in New York city who on May 8, 1S82, heard the suggestion

.which eventually resulted in the ad­dit ion of this holiday to our national ca lendar .

The man to whom the idea of .Labor day is usually credited was I'. J. McCitiire, for many years secre­ta ry of the United Brotherhood of Ca rpen te r s and Joiners of America, a vice president of the American Fed­e ra t ion of Labor and one of the best-known labor leaders of his day. Mcdui re ' s thought was that one day in the year should be set aside us a general holiday for the noen and wom­en who toil. In its initial form he contempla tes a festival day for only those who work with hands and mus­cle, a day to be devoted to parades, picnics and speeches.

Mc(Juire presented his idea at a session of the newly formed Central Labor union in New York city in May, 1SS2. His choice for such a holiday w a s the first Monday in September as a s t ra teg ic dare midway between the Four th of .luly and Thanksgiving. He felt that this was the most suitable day of the entire year for a new holi day and especially for the workers, for it offered a respite in their labors af ter the hot weather of July and August . The choice of the day of the week was a happy one. too, for it really meant a two-day respite from work—Sunday and Monday. How wise his choice was is shown by the fact that in recent years there has been a tendency toward a triple holi day, the laborer laying down his tools Fr iday evening and not taking them up again until Tuesday morning. In fact, no other holiday of the year, y e a r in and year out, offers a similar advan tage to that of Labor day.

MeCuire 's suggestion was readily accepted by the members of the Cen­tral Labor union and the first celebra­tion took place In New York on Sep­tember ,r>, 1S82. Although, as previ­ously stated, McGuire is usually cred­ited with having originated this holi­day, there Is another man who had some part in j t Tha t man is Theo­dore F. Cuno and his part In the origin of Labor day is told in the fol­lowing story which appeared in the Kansas City Star under the headline of "The Aristocrat Who Planned the F i r s t Labor Day" :

From his Utopian colony shack In the stump-dotted uplands of Vornon parish, Louisiana, Theodore T. Cuno, internat ional Socialist who set Amer­ican labor to marching thirty-five years apo. will mark with satisfaction Mondav's parade of lahor all over the United States.

Cunn, an aristocrat hy birth, breed­ing and nclinatinn. despite his lonfj life of socialism and ' ro-operativism." will do no mnrchint; Monday Every day i« Inhor's day In the colony that the late Job Harriman, Los Anpeles lawyer, established first in the Mojave desert and lat^r two miles south of tnis parish s^nt. Every day of the 3fif> Is a demonstration of the theories that Theodore F Cuno was beeinnmc to jilimpse in 1SS2. when, during the Powderly flprht In the Knlphts of Lahor, he .vrote the first American Labor day proclamation.

t ' r iab Steven.' s rerr t society of I860 had evolved prently from its original j form when Cuno, then editor of th» i Krewer's Journal in New York, wrote I the simple call to lahor, wh rh he still I

has In his scrapbook at the Llano col­ony shack. Since the flrat general a s ­sembly of the Knights of Labor at Reading, Pa., the organization had b»-gun to assume the form which it was to maintain until the American Federa­tion of Labor displaced It as the most powerful factor in American labor af­fairs. )n 1881 the society had dropped all secret furbelows with which Ste­vens had endowed It. In 1882, while the commotion over the Powderly leader­ship was threatening to split the Knights asunder, a group of the lead­ers, including Cuno, met In New York and made plans for the first Lahor day demonstrat ion to prove the solidarity of labor.

Having written the proclamation calling for the parade, Cuno marched at the head of the procession carrying a banner on which were inscribed the words:

"PAY NO RENT" And now, thirty-five years later, he

is realizing in fact the doctrine that he preached on his banner in that first parade of labor For as a colonist of New Llano, Theodore Cuno pays no rent.

Neither does he pay board, nor is he bothered by tailor bills, shoe bills or light bills. As a member of the col­ony he 'S entitled to ail those things, and therefore contributes his share of the colony labor That is the way they do things at Llano colony

Cuno believes that despite the legal difficulties through which the colonv has passed under the administrat ion of the much discussed George T. Picket ' , the Llano experiment will succeed. Faith, says Cuno, is "believing some­thing that you know isn't so." but he has faith in the colony of which he is the dean and for which he has been a financial angel.

Noting the progressive strides of American labor in the thirty-five years that have passed since the first Labor day parade In New York, the scholarly, philosophic old man of seven languages and a background of liberal European education holds to the opinion, ihnt never in the history of man has the laborer been so comfortable as is the American laborer In this day. When he wrote his proclamation as the Jefferson of the American toilers the place of labor in the American scheme was In­definite; its future nebulous. Collective bargaining was not generally recog­nized; the courts had not passed on labor's r ights and limitations. Now all that is changed And Cuno believes that labor truly dominates in a part­nership to which it is as indispensable as capital

Largely aloof from the world about him, surrounded by his excellent library, his numerous scrapbooks and his memories. Cuno has a detached view of the problems of the world in which he was once greatly embroiled as a Socialist of international repute His grandfather was a Belgian baron, and wealthy. Theoretically Cuno has nothing more than his interest in Llano colony. He wears the simple overall uniform of the colony and the rough colony shoes, yet he smokes ex­cellent cigars , and with those and the classics he is content. "1 would rather have a glass of water and a crust of bread In peace than to live comfortably In unhappiness," is Irs way of put t ing it.

After the New York celebration ot Labor day in 1SS2 the popularity . of the holiday grew with great swift­ness until it had extended to every part of the country. It became not only a holiday tor the man who worked with his hands but for the man who worked with his brain also. En the years that have intervened it has become u festival of relaxation i and recuperation for all s t ra ta of our j social s t ructure , for mill ionaires and miltworkers alike, so that it is doubt­ful if there is any of our holidays that has such universal popularity

Formal action toward making Labor day u national holiday was taken by the Federation of Organired Trades and Labor Fnions of the I'nit-ed States and Canada, the predecessor of the American Federation of Labor, nt its annual convention in ChicaL'o in 1S.S4 There the delegates adopted a resolution statin-: that the first

Monday in September should be set apa r t as "a laborers ' national holi­day" and recommended us observance '"by all wage workers, irrespective of sex, calling or nat ionali ty." Although popular response tu this resolution was spontaneous, it took untir ing work on the part of organized labor to secure legal sanction for such a holiday. Although congress and s t a t e legislatures received constant requests for the enac tment of fed­eral and s t a t e laws recognizing the day as a national holiday, it was ten yea r s before the passage of an ac t by congress, es tabl ishing the first Monday in September as a legal holi­day for the District of Columbia and the terr i tor ies . Oregon was the first s t a t e to ac t upon the ma t t e r and it legalized Labor day as a holiday in 1893. Other s t a tes eventually fol­lowed Oregon's leud until it is now a legal holiday throughout the United S ta tes and extends to Hawaii , Porto KIco and the Virgin is lands. In most s tates ' it is established by s ta tu tory provision, but In Wisconsin and Wy­oming Labor day is es tabl ished by the governor ' s proclamation.

From a strictly American holiday to one of world-wide observance bus been the history of Labor day since its establ ishment forty years ago. In cont inental Europe, however, it is ob­served on the first of May instead of the first Monday in September, but this adoption of the American idea came about in connection with the eight hour movement, inaugura ted by the American Federat ion of Labor in 1880. In that year a meeting of the Internat ional Labor congress was held in Par i s and Samuel Gompers, presi­dent of the American Federat ion of Labor, sent a message to the congress urging the international body to co­operate in the move for the eight-hour day and appealing for demonst ra t ions in all European countr ies on May 1 of the following year.

Gomper's suggestion found favor wilh the international organization and plans were made for such a demonstrat ion the following year. So the s tar t , made in 1S0<). caught the fancy of European workers and May 1 became the recognized Labor day in Europe. However. European coun­tr ies have been slower than this one in grant ing a legal s ta tus to the day, probably because the May day demon­s t ra t ions were at first made the occa­sion for radical act ivi t ies and disturb­ances which brought the workers into conflict with the authori t ies . In late yeurs, however, the scenes of violence have largely disappeared and now five European countr ies—Austr ia , Czecho­slovakia, Esthonia, Finland and Ma­deira recognize May 1 as a legal holi­day, in South America the same thing is t rue in Colombia, Ecuador and Uruguay and in Latin America May day is a legal holiday in Haiti and Panama. Incidentally, one of the pos­sessions of the United States, the Philippines, follows the European custom in celebrating Labor day In May instead of in September.

The labor holiday is celebrated variously in the British possessions throughout the world. Canada joins with tier sister on the south by cele­brat ing it on the first Monday in Sep­tember and Newfoundland observes it on Septemher 2. Queensland and Western Austral ia follow the European custom by observing May 1, but Vic­toria, Australia, observes "Eight-Hour day" on April 21. New South Wales on October 6 and South Aus­tralia on Ociobe. 14. All of these celebrat ions in foreign countr ies , how­ever, go back to the basic idea winch was presented to the Central Lahor union in New l o r k city In 18S2, so that is why it can be said that Labor day, whatever the date of it may be, is the one American national holiday which has become an international holiday and it is one important con­tribution which America has made to the social history of the world.

Taffeta Is Popular for Misses' Dresses

Tumef a has maintained its posi­tion, especially for the young, and this means for almost every one. Lace of every description Is being produced in huge quant i t ies for the late sum­mer evening dresses, and this vogue seems likely to last well into next winter. The damasks, which once were confined to draper ies and hang­ings for homes, now are being turned into draperies, dresses and hanjjins:* for the mistresses of the homes. The brocades will be represented, but they will perhaps show a trille less of the metall ic sheen than has been the case In past years .

A boy or sirl of from thir teen to sixteen, living under normal condi­tions and in perfect health, requires nine and one-half hours of sleep.

Families who h a \ e adopted regulur home play evenings will assure you tha t "the family that plays together, s tays together, ' ' Once every week or two. father, mother and the children have a "da te" after supper. If it Is dur ing the school months, lessons are studied in the afternoon or the night before. Sometimes there is an old-fashioned candy pull.

There Is no investment that pays such high dividends ' of happiness as the faculty of being unselfish, (Jive the youngsters u chance to develop this faculty. When little Hobby wunts to help fence in the chicken-yard, why not iet him hold the hummer -. ' When f the baby offers his cookie, take a bite and permit him to discover tha t shar­ing is sweet. When daughte r is older let her find out how pleasant it is to sha re responsibilities and how even dish-washing is not unp leasan t if done in company with mother.

Children like large blocks much bet­ter than the small ones generally fur­nished them. Wooden blocks the size and shape of bricks a re practical for younger children. As the child learns to build more complicated things the size and shape may be varied some-whnt. Fa ther or big brother can make excellent blocks by sawing an ordinary two-by-four str ip of lumber into blocks about eight to twelve inches long Some of these may lie cut in half and some of these halves may be divided again, diagonally, making them trian- \ gulnr in form. Square boards with holes bored in them, into which ever­green twigs may be s tuck to repre­sent trees and forests, will be greatly appreciated by the young builders.

The leafy vegetables, such as let­tuce and "greens," are the most valu­a b l e ; the legumes, like peas and beans, nex t ; and the rooty vegetables, such as parsnips and turnips, the least in value.

The ar t of being unselfish depends upon forming the habit of doing un­selfish, helpful, generous acts. And the habit is formed, as all habits are • formed, by being given frequent op­portuni t ies . Iiont ' ke«'p ail the un­selfishness for yourself, give the youngs ters a chance !

Very few young people *'?ll have a . well-balanced program of work, e x e r - • cise, social activity and rest, if undi­rected. One child must be urged to ' t ake exercise ; nnother niu^t be held back from overexercising. One rhild must be safeguarded from over-s t u d y ; another must have study hours definitely assigned. The vivacious must be encouraged to mingle in the social life of their schoolmates .

Following the meeting of scient is ts In 1'arls recently to discuss the feasi­bility of shooting to the moon, or Mars or Venus, learned men of Furope are discussing the limits of speed tha t may be at tained by man. They cite the increase of speed since l'.i'Jl, when Italy won the Schneider cup with 107 miles an hour, to the nearly !!!,'» miles an hour made at I iaytoua beach th is year. Some scient is ts predict that In 1930 the race will a t ta in at least MO miles in <X) minutes and constantly in­crease the speed until 7.">0 miles an hour is reached. This is considered to be the rate of air waves and wheth­er man will be able to go faster t han this Is doubted by some, while o the r s declare that bombs will be able to carry passengers even faster. A bomb recently perfected in Fngland will travel nearly four miles.

lor Alfred hi Smith formally j t e d thA Democrat ic nomination

spr pres ident in ?u address in which < bft dealt wi th the issues of the cam­

paign in a progress ive and courage ems m a n n e r .

A large por t ion of his speech dealt ' With the a f rUul tu ra l problem in which

h e promised effective measures of re­lief, with flood control, development of w a t e r w a y and the const-rvatior Of water power resources. i

Governor Smith reviewed the farm troubles and pledged himself to an earnes t endeavor to solve the prob lem of dis t r ibut ing the cost of dealing wi th crop earpluses . He promised to call a conference of experts inimedi a te ly after election to work out the mechanic* of accomplishing this end

Governor Smith pledged himself and h is par ty to the restorat ion of honesty In government ; to the promotion of a r ea l prosperi ty for the whole people th rough actual ra ther than fancied economies and reorganization in gov­e rnment

the enactment of sound tariff legislat ion; to the establ ishment Of a foreign policy opposed to u n w a r ranted in tervent ion in Latin-American (Countries and for the outlawry or war; and to t h e s tamping out of corruption in prohibition enforcement.

Agriculture Sick 1 **This country cannot he a healthy, • t rong, economic body if one of its members , so fundamentally important a s agricul ture, is sick almost to the point of economic death," said Gov­ernor Smith, taking up the subject of farm relief.

The Republican adminis t ra t ion has tnade many promises of legislation to aid the farmer, but has kept none of them, ha continued.

"The tariff is ineffective on com modifies of which there is exportable surplus wi thout controlled sale of the surp lus ," said Governor Smith. "Our platform points the way to make the ;

tariff effective^ for crops of whic^ we j produce a surplus.

"Co-operative, co-ordinated market- ]

fug and "warehousing of surplus farm j products is essential just as eo-erdl ' Bated, co-operative control of tii^ bow Of capital was found neecsr-ary to thf. regulat ion of our country's limine-,s.

"Our platform declares for the do ' velopment of co-operative mar la" :u and an earnest endeavor to sol* e ta problem of the distr ibution of the c;>s' ' of dealing with crop surpluses over ^ the marheted unit of the crop v a - . g producers are benefited by such as­s is tance.

The moihcrs and fathers of young men and women throughout this land know the anxiety and worry which has battel brought to them by their childreejra u use of liquor in a way which was ira- | | known beforo prohibition, i believe in ruver-uco for law. Today disre­gard of the prohibition laws is in­sidiously sapping respect for all law. I raise, therefore, what I profoundly believe to bo a, grea t moral issue in­volving the r i- ' iueousness of our na­tional conduct and the protection of jur children'.* morals ."

The remedy is to be found in th<3 fearless application of Jeffersoman principles, lie continued, to allow for different habi ts and customs of d;-—

<.-nt parts of the country.

"S jnie immediate relief would from an amendment to the Volst law giving a scieiiiihc definition of the alcoiiolic content of an intoxicating beverage," he said. "The present defi­nition is admittedly inaccurate and un­scientific. Each state would iheu be

1 allowed to lix its own s tandard of al­coiiolic content, subject ahvas.s to the proviso that that s tandard could not exceed the maximum tixed by the Cor\ g r ess.

"I believe, moreover, that there should be submit ted to tue p.1 role th question of some change in the provi --ions of the l s th ; ly, no one fare.-. . .v when tlu UILU'. was rat ibed the conditions wliic'. exist today of b ejtleggi.ng, corruption and opett violation of the law in all parts of the country. The peopl themselves should, a l te r th;a eigl o yoars of trial, be permitted to su> whether existing conditions should b-rectiiicd, I per .onal ly believe in a: amendment to the l>th amendment whicdi would give to each individual s ta te i'.-elf only after approval by a referendum popular vote of its peo pie the right wholly within i ts borders to import, manufacture or cause to be manufactured and sell alcoholic bev-• •rage a the sale to be made only by the state itself and not lor consump tlou in any public [dace."

"(Jar Canadian neighbors," he said, "have gone far in this maimer to solv this problem by the method of sal made by the state itself and not by private individuals.

Saloon Won't Return

"There is no qaosthm here of the re turn of the suioom Y,'ln.n 1 stated tha the saloon 'is and ought to bo a de funct in--'. i fat ion in tins country meant it. I mean it tod a--. I will nev er advocate or approve any law whicl directly or indirectly p r r r n i s the re turn of tlie .saloon."

On the subject of t ranspor ta t ion Governor Smith said he believed in en i on. .!:• ing the construction and use of mod., rn highways to carry the short haul of -moil bulk commodities and to

t ing ;' a m products. 'eat important •, h ' said, is

" Governor Smith pledged himself "to a p-.-'igros-ive, liberal conservat ion pd i ry h ' o . d M^IVA the same, principles to v h i t h I have given my support in the State of Xew York," and to fight against s: Iti.-li aggression "wherever it n p p ' a r s and irrespective of whom it may involve."

"The sources of water power must remain forever under public owner­ship and control," he said. - Ik teT. ' s growing from the develop­ment of water power as an incident to the ia a er oloinkl anvaig the- s ta tes having right of own­ership," Governor Smith declared.

It would be the policy of his admin­istration to develop a method nf oper­ation for Muscle Shoals- who a would reclaim for the government some fair revenue from the enormous expendi­ture already made, he so; 1.

Red tape anal autocrat ic bun aucra eg should bo brushed aside in caring fo.r veterans in distress, Governor Smith said. Likewise, he said he wo-dd continue his rympatli .a ic inter est in the advancement of progressive legi-dti'ion for working men and wo­men, the proper care of materni ty , infancy and mhildhood, and the en-roar-garment of activities which ad-vaao' ' public health.

In conclusion the g o v e r o r said in| pnrt: -*v

"I pi* 'l^o a complete devotion to the] undid:re of our country an^ our peo-phn I p'.ieo tliat welfare abo^'e every other e(jn adoration and I am sat is lied that our party is in a pos>ti< to promote it.

future) of Amer ica than tttat zemj manifes t thei r own its future by voting. We plore the fact tha t in the den tial election, ot fifty-four nualihed voters , only about Sfty cent cast their votes. This 7e*Rj 4* is ant ic ipated tha t the re will be 904> six million qualified voters l a Hsf country, and I hope and urge t h a t the grea t proportion of these wfl | take advantage of the Voting B4ai& It is a sad commentary on our d e m o o racy that Germany, with only hal l a t our population, saw two million mora votes cast at its election for prea l*^ dent than the United S ta tes in 1914. We are general ly behind o the r coun­tr ies in the voting record, a l though in foreign countr ies the vot ing fran­chise has been a comparat ively re­cent exercise of sovereignty by the citizens. It is commendable tha t both par t ies this year a re making earnes t endeavors to have enrolled a very large vote. If an admin is t ra t ion ia to function well and to decide wisely on important issues, it should be governed by public opinion. We certainly do not get the public opin­ion of the United States when only fifty per cent of the qualified voters appear at the polls. The t ime to record ei ther satisfaction or disap­prove! of officials is on Election Day. Grumbling about our public s e rvan t s on o ther days of the year is largely a waste of time.

Minority Government We do not want to see here a gov­

e rnment of all the people by fifty per cent of the people. We have been having a government by only a ma­jority within the fifty per cent, which is far less than the actual majori ty of the qualified voters.

This coming election will afford the peoplo an opportuni ty to regis ter their views in no uncer ta in way on some fundamental Issues. Nei ther of tho candidates , If elected, would feel primed for act ing as Chief Exec- , utivo if only a portion of fifty per cent of tho voters Is responsible for his certificate of election.

In lfllM Mr. Coolldge received fif­teen million, seven hundred and twenty-live thousand and sixteen voteM, Mr. Davis received eight million, three hundred and eighty-six thousand, six hundred and twenty-four votes. Mr. La Follettc received four million, eight hundred and thir ty thousand and four hundred and sev­enty-eight votes. And there were scn ' te red one hundred a .id ft fly-seven thousand votes. The total vote w a s only twenty-nino million, ninety-nine thousand, one hundred and thirty-one. There were qualified to vote in 1924 flfty-four million, one hundred twen­ty-eight thousand, eight hundred and ninety-five. So tha t Mr. Cool­ldge, who was elected Pres ident , only received a little more than one-fourth of the qualified votes of the country.

It Is quite true that we have no real political issues. But we have an economic problem which looms great­er than any of the old Issues. It 1B not in politics. It cannot be describ­ed iu the old language of politics.

No one Is much concerned now with liberty and independence as tied up with the right to vote. We have all the rights our forefather* struggled for. We are concerned with new and different rights and responsibilities. The great issue is to develop this country to a point where every man and woman has the opportunity both to work and to play.

We have proved that wages can be made high. We have now to prove that they can be continuously paid— that there will be no periods of un­employment over which the worker cannot finance himself.

No man Is wise enough to say how the future should be planned. But we have right at hand many enor­mous developments which will keep all of us busy. t

Transportation Brings Prosperity

This country could not have de­veloped without transportation. That ' gave us national market!. These are mass markets, and thus we have been. able to use better methods of manu­facturing and get higher wages and lower prices. The first rapid trans­portation came through the railroads. Then came the automobile. The mo­tor vehicles were at first thought to be competitors of the railroads, but now we know that they fit in to­gether.

BuBinefs breeds business, and now we have not enough transportation. We must use the great waterway* that have been put here for us to u s e both for transport and tor power.

Hoover Know* Language of'Proeresa

Hoover knows the languafee of mod­ern progress better than any man. As an engineer, he has already plan­ned the water and hydroelectric de­velopment of the country; and as a public officer with a knowledge of cause and effect, he knows the great present and future influence of theee developments.

From time to time foreign nations have been foolish enough to imagine that by some system of control they could raise the prices \o us of raw materials that we had ta have. Some of the controls were official and others were semi-offlfcial. The British control of rubber was undertaken from the best of motives, but the temptation to boost the price was too strong and so rubber went above a doil&x a jja^rui.
