Using hundreds of pounds of dyn-
amite to break up an ice jam that has
been threatening the false work un-
der the main span of the Main street
bridge, the workmen of the Lumsden
gangs have been carrying on a verit-
able battle today to prevent serious
damage.
In spite of the heavy blasts used to
break the ice, the jam carried away
about 20 feet of falsework, which
was not especially essential to the
support OF the uncompleted span. but
any further inroads will spell disas-
ter. The giant powder shots could
be heard all over the city today.
Great fields of ice to 10 inches
thick have been floating down the
river for "A hours and jam badly
at the Main street bridge, where the
falsework is still being used. The
big span, which is the longest in the
state, can be finished in one more
day, and the battle to save the false
work is very strenuous one.
Men stationed at various points
along the structure kept constant
watch all day and every time big
chunk of ice lodged against the wood
en- supports, the workmen dropped a
couple of sticks of giant dynamite on
to the ice. shattering it. This morn

the situation in control so far and by

Points Out Errors in Courts Of
Justice and Declares Need
Exists For Reform.
BY ]. HENRY ALLEN

This morning one of the most prac-
teal and inspiring addresses ever de-
livered in this city was given by
Hon. Horace T. DeLong before the
high school students in assembly.
The senator took as his subject THE
call of the Nation In forceful
manner he set forth what Kind of
men and women are needed by our
nation today, and held up before the
students as the highest ambition. to
become useful, God-fearing people in
community life, no matter where
each persons lot may be cast.
lie said: Let each young person
have an ambition to live such a life
that the world viii be better for his
having lived in it, The speaker
said that there Is too much desire on
the part of most people to be en-
tertained simply for the pleasure of
entertainment. Entertainment of
the right character. in limited
amount. is all right: but we should
be imbued with the principles that
make for the sterner duties of life,
The young people should be symet-
rically developed-no like an ath-
lete, developed on one side and on
the other useless.
that young men and women need
courage to go against the crowd:
that each one should do his own
thinking.
He recommended to the students
not only to read the Bible, the great
est book Of all time. but to study it.
He said the Bible is the Crystalliza-
tion OF the total experience of the
human race and the revelation of
Divinity to humanity. 1t contains
the vital principles of successful
life.
The speaker presented n mastery
exposition of the character and ac-
tions of the supreme court of the
United States, showing how it has
gradually encroached upon and ab-
sorbed other branches of our govern
ment. Today the supreme court is
despotic, having assumed the right
which was never granted in the con-
stitutlon of the United States: name
ly, to decide whether a law is con-
stitutional or not. Many times with
sweat and blood, great laws have
been enacted by the people of the
United States, to be thrown in the
waste basket by the supreme court.
AS an example of this, the income
tax.
The senator stated that England
and Canada are ahead OF us in OBJ
tanning speedy trial and Justice in
their courts. He said that the ma
tion is calling today for someone who
VIII bring about quick trial and JUS
tce in the courts of our land.
