Putting a Writer Right C. H. Bretherton, an English author, thinks that dyspepsia caused by pie is effecting American thought adversely. Ec even goes so far as to ‘say that it the prime cause of our “divorce evil” American isn't speaking for all native pie, some of it is as devastating to mind and body as some of England’s far-famed Yorkshire pudding; but a slab of real home-made apple pie served with rich, ice-cold cream, pro- vided Mr. Bretherton's palate—is keen- ly attuned and he is of fair mind, would make him apologize to Ameri- can’s most popular dessert, and seek another cause for our adverse thought. Crystal-clear, pure American is the ice that chills so much of the cream that adds glory to apple pie.

IPRESIDENT PRAISES STATE SOVEREIGNTY Hails Colorado’s Progress in Radio Address to Denver Semicentennial. PAUL SMITHS, N. Y., August 4.— The sovereignty of the States which go to make up the Nation was held up as a source of great strength to | the,Federal Government by President ! Coolidge today in an address by radio to exercises at Denver celebrating the semicentennial of Colorado’s ad: mission to Statehood. Speaking into a telephone at his vacation office, Mr. Coolidge had his words carried by long-distance wires to Denver for broadcasting through the ecther, the address being the first of any kind he has made since he came to the Adirondacks nearly four weeks ago. Mr. Coolidge hailed Colorado as a State that “always has been progres- sive”; declared that ‘“she stands out like a beacon in the history of woman suffrage,” and- praised “the majesty of her scene and “the wonderful balm of her climate,” yet he asserted her ‘“chief treasure was the principle of local self-government.” Urges Attention to States. “This celebration is exceedingly ap- propriate at this time,” he added. “The Nation is inclined to disregard alto- gether too much both the f and ¢he duties of the Sta are much more than subdivisions of the Federal Government. They are also endowed with soverelgnty in their own right. Of course, one of they are all partakers of the Amer! can spirit, all a part of the Americ Nation, but a great deal of strength ot the Federal Government lies in the fact that the States have the power to function locally and in- dependently. subject only to the re- strictions which they themselves have invoked by adopting the National Con stitution. “This fiftieth anniversary is in cele- bration of that principle. It was 50 years ago that Colorado put off the garb of a Territo almost exclu- sively under the dominion of the Na- tional Government and put on the robes of a sovereign American State. The great progress that it has made in these years has been in no small part due to the application of the principle of local self-government. Of all the weaith and eminence that this State has achieved, this is its chief treasure. It ought to be main- tained undiminished and guarded with jealous care through all the vears to come.” : Text of Address. The text of the address follows: “In order to have a complete reali- zation of the genilis, the power and the spirit of our country, it is neces- sary to study the history of each one of its 48 Commonwealths. In no way can the seeker of the realities of our national life be more richly rewarded. “Today our attention is fixed on Colorado, which is observing the fif- tieth anniversary of her entrance into Statehood. The whole Nation takes great pleasure in having a part in your celebration, for all your sister Statey are rejoicing if your remark- able accomplishments. “In your story we find romance, ap- peal to the imagination, striking ex- emplification of untiring courage, the pioneer dpirit, the adaptability to sur- roundings and of the ultimate work- ing out of a progressive civilization. Well may the Centennial State be proud of her record. Her history is associated with some of the impor- tant dates and figures of our Nation. The same year brings her semicen- tennial and the sesquicentennial of the United States—the 150th anni- versary of the adoption of the Decla- ration of Independence. Spanish Came First. “It is related that Spanish explorers in the middle of the sixteenth century firgt set foot on the soil of what is | now Colorado, and that Escalante vis- ited there in 1776. But virtually it remained an unknown area until Lieut. Zebulon M. Pike of the United States Army in 1806 discovered the peak that became his memorial. Ten vears later Maj. Stephen H. Long, also an Army man, gave his name to another peak towering into the sky for more than 14,000 feet. Nowhere in the world does scenery surpass that of Colorado. She has a mountainous area six times that of Switzerland. Nature wrought her with a lavish Long was followed by Dick Wootan, Jim Barker, Kit Carson and a long list of fur traders, and by John C. Fremont, whose fifth expedition ended in 1853. “In 1858 came the discovery of gold, that precious metal which from the beginning of time has been a lure for mankind. George A. Jackson of Mis- souri and J. H. Gregory of Georgia led the first bands of hardy prospec- tors to the Cherry Creek and the Platte gold flelds. The rush was on. The same’pluck and grit, the same ability to overcome every obstacle that led those early séttlers to push on under the slogan of ‘Pike’s Peak or bust” never has ceased to animate the people of Colorado. Dangers were never more imminent, hardships never more acute. Only the strongest, the bravest, could - survive those early days. It was a time that tried souls VE. |and bred men. — BYRON S.

Steps were taken to form a new State or Territory, to be named Jefferson, in honor ‘of the drafter of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. But it was not until the last day of February, 1861, at the close of President Buchanan’s admin- istration, that Colorado Territory, was established. Its name, meaning ‘col- ored,’ and fitting so well the varied scenic displays of the State, was chosen by Willlam Gilpin. One of the first acts 6f President Lincoln was the appointment of Giplin as territorial governor. “The State was carved out of the then Territories of Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico and Utah. A part of her area had come into possession of the United States through the Louls- jana purchpase, another from the Texas cession and the remainder by the Mexican cession. It was a gath- ering together of lands of varied and historic ownership. The people of the new Territory were loyal. They raised troops and thwarted the plans of the Confederate Government to capture that rich area. “When placer mining began to fail, new methods of wresting gold from the ores were invented. Silver, lead, zinc and copper deposists were uncoy- ered. The famous Leadville, Cripple Creek, San Juan end other mining camps developed a brand of frontier life which probably riever will be du- plicated. Stagecoaches and ox wagons ‘were the only means of transportation until 1870, Then Colorado’s first rail- roed, the Denver Pacific, was built from Denver, the capital, to the main line of the Union Pacific at Cheyenne. Other rail lines followed in rapid suc- cession. The rugged character of the country presented the most diffienit construction pro''ems ever known. ‘Their mastery wrousht men famous in railroad their chief glories lies in the fact that | n the | history.

It flourished for 15 years, until the ranges had been broken up by the laying out of homesteads. “Colorado is the thirty-eighth of our galaxy of States. The act ‘for State- hood having passed Congress the pre- + vious year, a constitution was adopted by a vote of the people in July, 1876. On the first day of the following month President Grant proclaimed the new State. John L. Routt was elected governor. 3 “Beginning as a Territory with 35,000 people, today the State has more than 1,000,000. Only the thirty- third among the States in population, according to the 1920 census, she was fifteenth in the value of mineral prod- ucts and eighth in rank as a coal producer. 2 ““Although Btarted under difficulties {and discouragements, her agricultural activities now are of the utmost im- portance. Wherever dry farming was possible the plucky settler resorted to irrigation. 1t is now widespread; in 1920 nearly 3,350,000 acr an in- crease of 20 per cent in a decade, were being tilled by the irrigation meth8ds. Rural Population Increased. “In the same 10-year period the per- centage of rural total population in- creased by 2.5 per cent. In 1920 the rural population was 51.8 per cent of the total. Colorado was one of three States in the Union showing the rural districts growing faster than the suburban. This is a striking tribute to her agricultural possibilities. She is* seventh In area, and has ample room for expansion along these lines. Already manufacturing has reached »od sized . proportions, $243,826,000 b Invested in ‘such enterprises in 919, “Colorado’s wealth increased 20 per cent In the decade ending 1922, when it was $3,285 per capita. This figure 1s larger than for States such as wchusetts and Michigan and a |little smaller thah in States such as | New York and Tllinois. That ‘“religious influences, which { have played and always will play so 3 part in our national life, were uppermost in the minds of the found- ers of Colorado is evidenced by the State motto selected. It is ‘Nil since numine,’ which, being translated, means ‘Nothing without divine will.’ “A newspaper was started by Wil- liam H. Byers in 1859 and has con- tinued to this day. From the begin- ning the people have demanded en lightenment. Always Progressive. “Colorado always has been progres sive. She stands out like a beacon in the history of woman suffrage. Her constitution was the first State con- stitution to take notice of it. The con- stitutional convention of 1876, al- though favorable, failed to grant the chise to women solely for fear it might defeat the entire document at the polls. However, provision was made for submitting the question to a referendum. And in 1893 equal suf- frage was carried by a substantial and the State became the permit women to vote. She alled the ‘proving ground of woman suffrage.’ Thirty women have sat in her legislative halls. Others have acted as treasurers or auditors in more than 75 cities or towns. Since 1849 the State superintendent of pub- lic instruction has been a woman. Miss Pattie Field, vice consul in Am- sterdam, the only one of her sex to hold such a position, comes from Colo- rado. The women of the State have had a considerable part in the estab- lishment of forward-looking govern- mental instruments. “To the majesty of her scenery Colorado adds the wonderful healing balm of her climate. Within her boundaries our Government maintains 2 national parks, 15 national, forests and 2 national monuments. To the dower given by God her citizens have added the riches that come from intel- ligent industry. States SeMtGoverning. “This celebration is exceedingly ap- propriate at this time. The Nation is inclined to disregard altogether too much both the functions and the duties of the States. They are much more than subdivisions of the Federal Government. They are also endowed with sovereignty in their own right. Of course, one of their chief glories lies in the fact that they are all par- takers of the American spirit, all a part of the Ameriéan Nation, but a great deal of the strength of the Fed- eral Government lies in the fact that the States have the power to func- tion locally and independently, sub- Jject only to the restrictions which they themselves have invoked by adopting the National Constitution. “This fiftieth anniversary is in cele- bration of that principle. It was 50 vears ago that Colorado put off the garb of a territory almost exclusively under the dominion of the National Government and put on the robes of a soverelgn American State. The great progress that it has made in these years has been in no small part due to the application of the principle of local self-gqvernment. Of all the wealth and eminence that this-State has achieved this I8 its chief treasure. It ought to be maintained undimin- ished and guarded with jealous care through all the years to come.” il i PRESIDENT LEAVESv SUMMER CAMP TO VISIT OLD SCENES (Continued from First Page.) through the Philippine Congress, the Firestone interests are ready to un- dertake large-scale exploitation. Other rubber interests stand ready to do the same thing. The Firestones now control 1,000,000 acres of land in Liberia, the African Negro Republic. Five thousand laborers are working and already have 10,000 acres under various stages of cultivation. TFhe Philippines offer the only sure-fire protection American rubber users have against the British monopoly, but until the Legislature of the islands relents there is nothing that can be done, except on such a small scale that it doesw’t count in the face of the enomrus and increasing demands for rubber. The United States uses 70 per cent of the world’s rubber output while controlling less than 3 per centy of production. England controls 77 per cent of the producing acreage. The possibilities in the Philippines, ideally suited to rubber culture, can be judged when it is known that in the opinion ef such experts as the younger Firestone, who recently has been there, less than 10 per cent of the l#nd that might be used in rub- ber growing would furnish enough of the product to remove the Brit- ish domination in this field. The op- portunity for American expansion is shown by the fact that now 4,850,000 acres are under cultivation, .while by 1936.it is estimated that an additional 1,600,000 acres will be needed to sup- ply anticipated demands, Relief Sources Few. Except for the efforts of Americans in such out-of-the-way , places as Liberia to defeat the British rubber monopoly, this country has no source of prospective relief except Philippine cultivation. Whether there is any re- lation between the demands of the rubber men and the lent’s : ap- pointment of Col. Carmi A. Thompson —who ‘comes from Ohio, the center of the rubber industry—to investigate conditions in the Philippines is not known.

CLARENDON, Va., August 4.— After a heated discussion the Arling- ton County Civic Federation at its meeting at the courthouse last night by a vote of 21 to 10 adopted @ reso- lutlon, indorsing the route selected by the Lee Highway Assoclation for the Lee boulevard. Friends of the resolution, insistent on a vote on the question, accomplish- ed their end, but only after.a gruel- ing verbal fight with Arthur Orr, chairman of the Straight-to-the-bridge Boulevard Assoclation, who exhausted every parliamentary means to have | the matter tabled until the next meet- ing. Mr. Orr claimed that the resolution ralsed a question on which there was great difference of opinion among the people of Arlington County. He claimed that any action by the federa- tion should be based on thorough in- vestigation Into merits of the selected route as compared with the merits of other routes “that have nfany friends.” He urged that the matter be laid over that it might be considered by a larger representation of delegates from all sections of the county Col. James G. Pepper, in answer- ing the last point, stated that the meeting as well as the subject was fully advertised and that the re- sponsibility for the absence of cer- tain delegates could not be laid to the door of the federation nor was it suflicient reason for deferring action. Resolution of Indorsement. The resolution, which was offered Frank G. Campbell, follows: ‘Be it resglved by the Arling- ton County €ivic Federation that while the ilocation of Arlington County at the gateway of the Na- tional Capital renders its inhabitants fortunate in being partakers of the development of a park and boluevard vstem in the territory contiguous to Washington, it imposes upon the people of Arlington County the patri- otic duty of subordina{ing local ins terests in connection with those proj- ects which are national in scope; that the proposed Lee highway is of such national projects, extending across the continent and of necessity passing through Arlington County to reach Washington; that the people of other communities, including Washington, are giving of their time and money to advance the construc- tion of this highw and that the location of the highw should be such as to cause it to best serve its purposes as a transcontinental national highway. “‘Be it further resolved, That this federation approves the route for said highway selected by the Lee Highway Association and informally approved by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, since it appears that said route serves a great number of communities in Arlington County, while preserving the character of the, highway as a transcontinental one; of dignity, beauty and safety. “Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Gov- ernor of Virginia, the Lee Highway Association and the National Capital Park and Planning Commission.” Stating that the proposed location of the farmers’ market at Eckington would not serve to the best interests ot Virginia farmers, and that it would result in financial loss to them in re- frigeration costs, George M. Yeatman, president of the Southwest Washing- ton Business Men's Association, ap- peared at the meeting to urge co- operation of the federation in the fight of his organization to have the market placed in the section covered by the Business Men’s Association. Southwest Washington would be the most convenient location for the farm- ers of Virginia, Mr. Yeatman said. Favor Southwest Location. A resolution offered by Col. Pepper put the federation on record “as ear- nestly desiring the location of the farmers’ market in Southwest Wash- ington,” and instructed the secretary to convey a copy of the resolution to the authorities in Washington. The action of the board of super- visors in appointing Asa E. Phillips, engineer in charge of the construction, installation and operation of .the coynty’s proposed water system, is in- dorsed in a resolution offered by Arthur Orr and unanimously adopted. “It is our belief,” the resolution cites, “that it 1s a part of wisdom to keep the installation and the admin- istration of the water system as an entirely separate department of the county government, and we congratu- late the board of supervisors upon thelr action in selecting an engineer in whom the people of Arlington County have entire confidence. On ‘motion of Mr. Orr, Harry S. Saffell, chairman of the Arlington County Water Supply Commission, & citizens’ organization, which conceived the plan for connecting with the United States Government supply at Dalecarlia and took the lead in get- ting through the necessary, legislation as well as in all other preliminary steps in the movement, was elected an honorary member of the federation “as a mark of appreciation for his untiring _efforts and great achieve- ments while serving as chairman of the commission.” An invitation was extended through the federation to the young men of the county to join the National Guard of the District of Columbia by 'Lieut. Millard of that organization in an ad- dress in which he pointed out the advantage both to the man who en- lists and to the county. He said it would be a decided asset to the county, should it ever desire to have:a Guard of its own, if the young men of the county would take a complete enlist- ment of three years, which is open to them. President R. E. Plymale, who presided, assured the speaker that the federation was favorable to the prop- osition and would do everything pos- sible to stir up the proper interest wmong the young men of the county. Yion so it will cease to be a source of jrritation between the twq peoples. Whether any report that Col Thompson may make can accomplish this, however, is grave question, be- cause all the indications from the islands indicate that Col. Thompson is being greatly impressed with the contrary view to independence. One of the most significant statements that he hds made is similar to that just expressed by Mr. Firestone, namely, that the Philippines posses the means to break the rubber monopoly. After that, the most important statement he has allowed to be cabled back is that apparently the Filipinos are not yet rgady for self-government. The colonel also is reported to have been impressed by the lack of enthusiasm among the masses for the self-govern- ment which the political leaders are demanding. Nevertheless, Gen. Wood has vetoed a resolution providing fc a plebiscite on the question. The Philippine Senate has approved the resolution over the governor general’s Vi Sk (Copyright, 1926.) ona | ORYS ARE BEATE INWISSOLR RAGE Williams and Hawes, Both Opposed by Organization, Are Nominated. By the Assoclatad Pre ST. LOUIS, August 4.—Despite strenuous opposition of the Anti- Saloon League and W, C. T. U., Sen- ator George H. Willlams, Republican, and Representative Harry B. Hawes, Democrat, both of 8t. Louis, were nominated for United States Senator by large pluralities In yesterday’s Missouri primary election, returns showed today. Williams and Hawes both rolled up big votes in St. Louis and Kansas City and in a large majority of the out-State counties, most of which are usually classed as dry. David M. Proctor of Kansas City, dry, ran second and Blodgett M. Priest of St. Louls, ultra wet, ran third in the Republican contest. Judge Ewing B. Cockrell of War- renburg for the long-term and Willis H. Meredith" of Popular Bluff for the short-term Democratic nomination, both backed by the dry organizations, were trailing Hawes by from 40,000 to 50,000 when approximately three- fifths of the precincts had been tabu- lated. Robert I. Young of St. Joseph ‘was a poor third. G. 0. P. SENATORS ~ WIN RENOMINATION IN THREE STATES “ontinued First Page.) prove a great battle, with the odds favoring Hawes at this time. In Oklahoma Senator John W. Har- reld apparently has defeated his five opponents for the Republican nomina- tion for Senator. At the same time Representative Elmer Thomas has been successtul in the Democratic pri- mary, according to the returns. Senatorial Harreld faces a hard fight in the coming campaign, which will culminate in the election next No- vember. The hope of his supporters was that former Gov. Walton might the nominee of the Democrats. Walton was defeated two years ago by Serator Pine, Republican. The prospects of a Democratic victory in the senatorial race now appear good. Wet Claims Modified. The wets doubtless will hail the victory of Willlams and Hawes in the senatorial primaries as a distinct vie- tory. But there were conditions which must be taken into account that might modify the claims of success on the part of the wets. In the first place, while Senator Willlams was opposed by the Anti-Saloon League, he has announced that he will be guided in his votes on prohibition in the Sen- ate by the result of the referendum which is to be held in Missour! in-No- vember. Furthermore, Williams, while he had the support of wets in St. Louis, like Charles D. Nagel, former Secretary of Commerce, had also the support of Gov. Baker, former Gov. Hyde, Republican Na- tlonal Committeeman Clements and ‘W. H. Phares, Republican State chair- man, all of whom are drys. Williams, however, is known to be wet, and his commandipg lead over his dry opponents in the senatorial primaries is greater than was ex- pected. ‘While the Democrats in Missouri have won in the off-year election, except in one instance, the strength shown by Willilams in yesterday's primary and the failure of Hawes to develop strength in some of the country districts has encouraged Re- publicans. The fight between Williams and Hawes will be a straightout con- test between the Republican and Dem- ocratic organizations of the State, each of which has nominated its candidate. Both the nominees are wet, though Hawes is a little more so than Williams. _Both opposed the World Court. Both voted for the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. The fight resolves itself into a mere ques- tion of whether the Democrats or Re- publicans shall be top dog in Missouri. G. 0. P. Factional Fight. As a matter of fact, there has been a contest under way between the factions in the Republican party in Missouri headed by Gov. Baker, former Gov. Hyde, Dr. Clements and Phares «on the one hand, and by ‘Walter 8. Dickey of Kansas City and Mayor Miller of St. Louis on the other. The former faction has been in the saddle in Missouri ever since 1920, when some of the Républican politicians were found wiith too much Lowden money in their jeans. The Willlams victory is regarded as a victory of the faction in power. Harry Hawes is an avowed wet, although his campaign has been made on behalf of Democratic harmony in the State and with an evident intention to sidetrack the liquor question. Indeed, the dissen- slons: among the Democrats of the State have been noticeably less in re- cent months than they have been in years. It is this fact, and the fact that Missouri in an “off year” usual- oans Woman Mentioned As Successor for Senator Cummins By the Associated Pre DES MOINES, lowa, August 4.— Miss Martha McClure ,of Mount Pleasant, vice chairman of the Re- publican’ State central committee, is being mentioned in political cir- cles here as a possible party se- lection for the unexpired term of the“late Senator Albert B, Cum- mins.

JOHNSON IS WINNER INOKLAHOMA RACE So-Called Ktan Candidate Gets Gubernatorial Nomina- tion in Field of 22. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., August 4.—With approximately half of yester- day's primary votes counted, Henry 8. Johnson, indentified by his opponents as a Ku Klux Klan candidate, today had a substantial lead in the Oklahoma Democratic gubernatorial race, a feature of the balloting in which 1,100 candidates sought nomination on five tickets Elmer Thomas, Representative from others for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator. Senator J. W. Harreld led a field of six for the Republican senatorial nomination. Interest apparently centered in the gubernatorial races, In which 22 candidates filed on tne five tickets, when the Supreme Court declared Gov. M. E. Trapp ineligible to succeed himself. Trapp became governor in 1923, wheh Walton was deposed. An Oklahoma law provides a governor cannot hold office for two con- secutive terms. Seven of Oklahoma's eight Represen- tatives were candidates for renomi- nation. All were maintaining sub- stantial leads. POLICEMAN IS KILLED. CLINTON, Iowa, August 4 () .— Policeman Fred Koch was killed and Eugene Moore, bootlegger, and his wife wounded in a gun fight between Moore and thé officer —early todgy. Moore carried out a threat that he would shoot to kill any officer attempt- ing his arrest. Mooge was about to enter his auto- mobile with his wife when stopped by two policemen. Mrs. Moore's injuries were not serious, but doctors said Moore probabl ould di y goes Democratic, which have en- couraged the Democrats in the be- lief that they will win the senatorial race this fall. ‘While Mr. Hawes apparently has a good lead, the size of the vote rolled by up Judge Ewing Cockrell, a ary, has been a considerable surprise. Both Williams and Hawes are de- clared opponents of American adher- ence to the World Court, the former having voted against it in the Sen- ate last Winter. So strong has been the opposition to the League of Nations and anything connected with the league, that any candidate for the senatorial nomination and election who favored the World Court would have little chance of success. Had Mr. Hawes not come out against the court, it is likely he would have had the opposition of Senator “Jim"™ Reed, who has become the outstand- ing political figure of the State. Senator Harreld, victor in Republican primaries in homa, ‘where the Klan has been a factor in politics, also voted and spoke against American adherence to the World Court. Sen- ator Curtis of Kansas, on the other hand, supported the President in his demand that the United States adhere, with reservations, to the court. ‘The solidarity with which the Re- publican “voters are standing behind Senator Curtis has been particularly gratifying to him and to his friends. He took no part in his campaign, ow- ing to the demands which were made upon his time in Washington as Re- publican leader of the Senate and in part to ill health. An operation for the removal of his tonsils shortly be- fore he returned to Kansas after ad- Journment of Congress prevented his making any public speeches. Gov. Ben 8. Paulen, Republican, like Senator Curtis, was without serious opposition for renomination. Two years ago he was attacked as the Klan candidate, but in the present race he was not connected with that organization. Farly returns give former Gov. Jonathan M. Davis the lead for the Democratic nomination for governor. Should Davis lose, it would indicate a turnover in the con- trol of Democratic State politics.
