That is why mem- bers of these various clubs support the school system, the Association of Commerce and other active civic agencies. There is now before Bismarck the matter of continuing the Boys Welfare Work in Bismarck. There is much that can be said in favor of the present plan and some things that do not make it the most ideal arrangement. Boy’s work is-one of the chief things sponsored by Rotary. In a city of the size of Bismarck the financial load of this work must be distributed over the whole body of citizens hence the work is not strictly a Rotary activity but one all must share in for the community’s good. But what is everybody’s business is usually nobody’s business. The welfare work and it should not be confined to boys alone, should be under control of the public school system because a successful administration of welfare work means utilization of the school plant. Divided control be- tween different agencies of this work makes for confusion. Then again under the old plan intensive work was done during the winter time when a boy’s and a girl’s program of study and school work is heaviest. If the work is to be continued special stress should be put into the vacation months when all restraint of school life has been removed. The Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions can best promote this work through the schools. great majority of the heaviest taxpayers and if they want special teach to promote boy and girl welfare in Bis- marck, the school board should give that service for who after all is paying the bill and what is a school board and a school system for if it fails to respond to legitimate public demands? Instructors for this work can be secured of proven ability ure the control of the school system. Rotary, Kiwanis ard Lions can make their contribution in equipment, prizes and g-neral cooperation without placing too heavy a burden on sty one class. lf the entire city shares in this work results will be better and community spirit encouraged to make the work a success. It is doubtful if support under the old plan will be whole- hearted enough to secure the best results. Rotary and other clubs can best serve in this instance by bringing pressure te bear upon the board of education to establish a strong | department of physical culture and welfare work and see to it that efficiency is secured and maintained rather than in the setting up of another organization which is directly re- sponsible to no one and cannot get the greatest amount of community cooperation as can be had through the school system. HIS GREAT CHANCE LOST Those who despair of quick and avenging justice against ‘:wrong-doers in high places may turn to the federal court in Indiana where Gov. Warren T. McCray, a few years ago ttreputed many times a millionaire, was found guilty of us ofthe mails in furtherance of a scheme to defraud, and w tisentenced to 10 years in federal prison by Judge A. B. And- erson. *A-year ago McCray emerged from the Hoosier legislative session in triumph. He had put through a program of legis- tilation, embracing many important measures, against great opposition. His power reached its heights. He became ‘4nvolved in financia] difficulties, because people to whom he has sold his world famous blooded cattle at war prices were emnable to pay for them, one of his banks failed and other manifold interests added to his financial embarrassment. =Immediately a group of wealthy bankers came to his assist- sance and endeavored to finance him until he could recover. *But they found his affairs so involved, so much evidence of dishonest methods that they refused to proceed. Both state “and federal authorities promptly began sifting these affairs. Within a remarkably short time, in view of the wide extent of his affairs, he was tried in a state court for embezzlement Sand a jury disagreed. Soon after he was placed on trial in “federal court and a few days ago was found guilty. = sitis sentence of ten years in prison, accompanied by a “$10,000 fine, was the maximum. Federal Judge A. B. And- Serson has long been known for heavy sentences imposed upon rful men who have failed in a trust, and #known as well for leniency with the weak and misguided. k Governor McCray had a great opportunity to win a secure Splace in the esteem of his people’ by public service. He failed, and the precision and speed with which the authori- Stiesi and the courts proceeded to mete out the punishment ue any criminal will greatly add to respect for the law in, dndiana. id TAMMANY t Charles F.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON MINDED RMAN “Let's ya to see the fisherman who found the funny bottle” said Nick, “Doesn't he live in Once-Up- ime Land?” “Right-o!” said Mister Muggs.

But it is equally undeniable that centuries of isolation ha ls ed the Albanians a people apart, people without any adequate con ception of civilization. a people still following ancient tribal customs and incapable of comprehending the meaning of a strong central government. Tribal feuds are of constant oc- currence, and trjbal massacres are pot uncommon and are not pun- ished. In such a land the murder of two foreign travelers is the most natural thing imaginable.

WHAT ABOUT THE PUBLIC? While the Railroad Labor Board is far from having achiev plete suecesg in adjusting d it is certaifly a better instrument for that pupose than the carefully controlled machinery which ‘the rail men's unions are demanding that Congress set up in its place. The union scheme,! set forth in the Barkley bill, is to organize ad- justment boards made up of repre sentatives of the national unions nd of the railroads. When these fail to effect settlements, a ‘board of mediation is provided, which may try its hand at reaching a so- lution. : This is obviously a fine scheme for the unions, if for no one el It completely ignores those rail- ad employees who are not affili- ated) with national unions, ‘but who are thus to be forced into re- lations they disapprove. It is aimed to put an end to the “com- pany unions.” And, perhaps worst ‘ot all, it provides no recognition whatever for the public, the great third party in every dispute that threatens to tie up the railroads, to impair their service in any way, or to make it more costly through higher rates. : The public pays furnishes the traffic. It grants the franchi to operate. It dele- gates the privileges and responsi- bilit ef common carriers to the roads. It protects the rights and wages of the employe Yet the rail unions propose to slam (ie door in the public’s face when there is a dispute ‘to settle. They propose to make it an affair jof merely the men and ‘the roads, with no interference tolerated from the public whose interest is para- mount to every. other interest con- cerned, And the rail unions have suc- leeeded by threats of vengeance in |November in frightening a hun- dred and fifty members of the House to petition for taking the Barkley bill away from the Inter- state Commerce Committee, where hearings were to have been held. the ills. tt and bringing it directly on the floor of the House for summary action. Here we have another example of the power of ynact. energetic groups to force ion under the present tblock system and the fail- ure of party responsibility.

I plumb forgot I had it.” The fisherman hauled it down. but in doing so the stopper fell out and as quick as a flash a thin stream of smoke started to come out. It soon grew to an enormous floating up to the ceiling, und a gant appeared. “Hello, there, everybody.’ he cried. “Where asleep!” am 1?

Muggs opened two windows and the wind rushed in at one win- dow and blew the bottle giant cut of the other, because he was only smoke, anyway—or something Hike it. “00-00-00!

He was gone for good. “Well, I guess I'll sleep better now,” said the fisherman. “It isn't very comfortable to have a giant ‘round the house.” “Wihy, I thought you said you had forgotten about him!’ cried Mister Muggs. “Well, I guess I forgot that 1 had forgotten,” said the fisherman. “O, but I am getting absent-mind- ed! Do you know whether I caught} a herring or not when I went fish- ing?” “No, you didn’t,” said Nancy.) “There were none in the boat.” “Well, then, if you'll excuse me” said the fisherman. “I'll go and get} one for my supper. I do feel better not to have a giant in the house. Or was it a dwarf? I forgot al- ready.” “Good-by!" called the visitors as they rode’ away.

C., May 3.—A plea to lift America “above” the slugh of mercenary polities and ” carry © it steadily forward as a government of liberty under the law,” was urged upon lawyers attending the conven- tion of the North Carolina Bar As- sociation in an address tonight by Robert E. L, Saner, of Dallas, presi- dent of the American Bar Associa- tion. The call for active, intelligent and unselfish public service wi never more insistent than today, Saner the flag and the men who laynched the government joined in admonish- ing “us to obey this call.” “The only forces that can preserve our republic are men with cérivic- tions and the courage of their convic- a modicum of the same sort of cour- age that actuated our fathers shall be manifested not only by public of- ficials but by the great mass of pri- vates and the ranks of our citizen- ship, What we must have is an ac- tive exercise of the duties of citizen- ship by men who stand outside of party or class, whose sole motive and objective is the public weal, and who have the courage to tear a question open and let the light through it. We must have men who stand for the right, for justice, for liberty un- der the law, for government under the Constitution, and who will carry our republic forward toward the ful- fillment of its high mission as a leader and exemplar for the cmula- tion and inspiration of all the na- tions of the earth.” ESSAY CONTEST ‘ LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRI OTT, CARE OF ‘THE SECRET DRAWER, CONTINUED Later in the evenings we discussed} my husband and I, Sally Atherton ,a little, “I confess,” said Jack, “that 1 don't understand that woman at all.” “Why do you call her ‘that wo- man,’ Jack? You know a man never puts the prefix of ‘that’ before ‘wo- man’ that the woman in question docs not either intcrest or annoy him very much.” ‘Sally Atherton does not annoy said Jack slowly. “I don’t stand her, though, at all. “You saw her when she came to the office this morning. She had just, as you know, buried her hus- band, and yet there was no awk- ward mark of grief about her, She was wearing the same light gray tweed suit and sport hat that she has worn ever since she came to work for me. “I tried to offer her some con- dolence, but she put me off in an absolutely casual way, saying: ‘Some day I will~tell you all about my, married life, if you went to hear it. * Just now we must get off these plans to the hoisery people’ and she went on working as though she had sheen talking-about the most unim- portant matter.

F. of L. for,a return of heer and wine,, came as .a- distinct shock to leaders of the National W. Cc, T.

Maybe you read about nine-year-old Arthur Parker, knocked down and run over by a taxi. In his pockets they found 5 tops, °73-brass buttons, 60 marbles, 2 oranges, a wooden cigaret holder, a pair of clappers, 10 cigarets, a mouth organ. and a jew’s-harp. \This will not surprise the mother of any healthy lad with normal tendencies. If there’s anything amazing about Ar- thur’s pockets, it’s. that, the contents didn’t include a toad, # couple of white rats, a quart of bright pebbles and several radio sets. The small, boy is close to the savage state. His mania for collecting odds and ends of “junk” is inherited from the savage, who adorns himself with glass beads, feathers, etc. The instinct of accumulation asserts itself in the lowest forms of. human life, Civilization makes it more intense.
