BOLT RESTORES
PARALYZED LEGS

New YORK, June II, William
Brown, Jr., 4 years old, Of South
and Allen streets, Jamaica, L. l.,
walked for the first time Satur-
day because his parents say, a
bolt Of lightning struck in front
of their home within few feet
of the boy.
When the bolt hit, Mrs. Brown
hid her head in her arms. Her
son had been sitting at a window
watching the storm, but when
she looked up, he was running
around the room. 1t was the first
time he had ever taken step.
His father thinks some of the
electricity must have entered the
child's body and galvanized the
apparently helpless limbs.

Just as the Balkan peace nego-

at London with the good wishes

learned on last Monday that the
Servian delegates had been re-

sides preparations were being

seemed inevitable unless the pow

that they require all the Balkan

Want SOUTH NOT TO
EXPORT ITS CATTLE
U. S. Expects Declare Alaa3 Should
30 Kept for Breeding Purposes
WASHINGTON. June Il

fY A1IlllN&1 LOlN, june ~.
Crave warning to the sou thern
states, especially Louisiana, Miss
issippi Alabama, Georgia and
Florida, against the wholesale
expectation Of their cattle is con
tanned in a statement issued to-
day by the bureau Of animal in
dustry Of the department of agri-
culture.
In the last twelve months, says
the statement, buyers from the
middle westhave taken from that
district thousands Of animals,
many Of which should be retain
ed for breeding purposes.
THE number Of scrub cattle is
being reduced, X says the bureau,
and the south will get better
cattle as the result, but they do
not look far enough ahead, or
they would see that If the short
age OF cattle is such as TO cause
buyers to come from the far west
to buy these. scrub cattle for
breeding purposes, the chances
of southern farmers reflling their
pastures with good cattle are
small. "
The department experts point
out that the south is especially
adapted to the raising Of cattle.
For that reason it has made az
especial appeal to the southern
farmers to retain their breeding
herds.

WRITING CURRENCY
MESSAGE; FOR BILL
THIS SEASON
Wilson to Present His Views to Congress
This Week Is Program
MEASURE AGREED UPON
WASHINGTON, June Ia.


President Wilson still wants
currency Legislation enacted at
the present session OF congress,
and will bend every effort to ac-
camplish that purpose.
Doubt raised by utterances 81
senators close to the administers
ton that they were opposed to
currency reform during the pres
ent session was cleared when ID
became known that the president
planned to write his currency
message to congress today. 1t
will be presented about June 23
or "a, about the time that mem
bers Of the house get back for re-
organization and work on the cur
rency bill.
1t also was announced today
from administration quarters that
Secretary McAdoo and Chairmen
Owen and Glass, of the senate
and house banking and currency
committees, had reached an
agreement on the main features
Of the currency bill they have
been drafting for the last two
months.
The president, it is understood,
will not 90 into detail in his cur
rency message, preferring to
back the Owen-Glass bill as an
expression Of his ideas, but will
call attention to the need for cur
rency reform.
His argument will be along the
lines Of his letter recently to Sen
ator Tillman, in which he declar
ed that in loyalty to the
country" currency legislation
was necessary during the present
session Of congress, so that any
attempt to create artificial dis
turbances after the tariff shall
have become law, may be offset
by a free system Of credit, which
will make it possible for men, big
and little, to take care of them
selves in business. ("
The currency message is not
expected to be more than 1900
words long, and it is not known
whether the president will read
it to congress as he did the tariff
message, or send it to both houses
as was the custom before he
broke precedent Of century.

The History Of Ameri-
can Parties.
Selected by r. L. Tallman.

/
this Federalist action as a prece-
dent when they came to claim the
same right. The Hartford con-
vention was the last straw that
killed the Federalist party. and
nearly all will agree that it de-
served its fate.
This left the field clear for the
Democrats, and with two or three
short Interruptions they held
SWAY in the government until
clear down to the civil war. Jeff
erson had served eight years;
then his friend Madison served
eight; then his follower Monroe
served eight. The j. @. Adams
was elected president in 1924 by
the house Of representatives, as
a National Republican. through a
bargain with Clay, and there was
a Slight hitch in Democratic sue
cess.
But in 1923 Jackson came in for
two terms and gave the party a
new lease Of life. He put Van
Bufen IN For a term when he
went out. Van Buren, was not
very popular and the opposition
to him was crystallized into the
Wing party. There had been
Wings in the colonies, prior to
the revolution, in sympathy with
the Wings in England, and the
name was now taken up again by
those who traditionally distrust-
ed the doctrines Of jefferson and
the Democrats. 1t is said that
the name originally was made up
Of the initial letter of the party
motto, I'VE hope in God"
"W-h-i-g."
The Wings were a coalition
rather than a party. They were
largely animated by the Puritan
ism Of New England, which re-
VOTED against the deism or athe-
| ism Of the French revolutionists,
whose cause had been espoused
| BY the Democrats. The Wings
about 1880 absorbed the National
Republican party and the minor
groups and factions that were OPP
posed to the Democrats. The
Democratic party had appealed
mainly to the South and the rural
elements; it was the party Of
free trade. The Wings appealed
mainly to the North and the com
mercial interests; it was the party
of protection.
Things kept along without be-
ing very decisive either way till
the civil war. The Wings elect
ed Harrison in 1910; the Demo-
Gratis elected Polk in 1874; then
the Wings took advantage of the
popularity of Gen. Taylor and
elected him in 1848; then the
Democrats elected Pierce in 1852,
and Buchanan in 1856.
During this period the issue Of
slavery had forged to the front
and it threatened to be the rock
on which the Union would split.
The Wings showed that they had
no genuine call or title to rule,
for they whitfield back and forth
on the slavery question and lost
support both through what they
did and what they didn't do.
This was because the party had
supporters both North and
South and their leaders were a.
faid to take any decided stand on
slavery for fear Of losing in one
section or the other.
By 1850 the question of the ex-
tention of slavery to the new
states Of the West was the great
bone of contention. The South,
which had so long dominated the
government, began to see that if
new an-ti-slave states continued
/ to be admitted, each one with its
| senotors and members of congress
the time would come when
! there would be a majority in
onoorrncc AGAINST slavery
