Garry Hermann Thinks League
President Foolish to Pay At.
tention to Feds.

CINCINNATI. Feb. Ban johnson
seems 20 he the only fellow in ORGANIZED
baseball who is worrying over that SUIT
iled by the Federal League against the
major leagues. and which has been
pending before Judge Lands at Chi
caso.
johnson has taken the stand that
there cannot be abeolute peace until the
suit has been withdrawn.
Garry Hermann. chairman OF the
National Commission. thinks johnson 10
foolish for worrying about that matter
and said as much today.
Hermann does not seem to be at all
affected by the timidity Of johnson on
this question. Judging BY the length
Of time this case has been hung up. 1t
is perfectly safe to leave II there IN
definitely.
Hermann also Is resting easy as to
the reported probable change or disco
luton Of the National Commission. OF
which he Is head. He said today that
there will be no change In the commis-
sion for some time to come. " at all
II is known that Johnson's personal
appointment OF Sam Crawford to a
place on the commission does not meet
with much favor. considering that
Crawford. during the American League
war. was one OF the most notorious con-
tract jumpers.

down his record at that time. but

A mother knelt by her wrestling

His chassis was battered and bent,
He knew his race was nearly done,
In his hood there was a dent,
A fierce toe hold had scared his sole,
A strangle had stripped his gears,
And as cruel wrestling claimed its
toll
Her faint words reached our ears:

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
TO CONSTITUTION SCORED
Harry st. George Tucker Flags Suf-
fringe and Nntion-Wide Prohibition
md Rnps Child T.nbor Bill.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON. u. c., May Harry
st, George Tucker. Of Lexington. in an
address before the National Associa
ton for Constitutional Government
last night. raped the proposed amend
ments TO the Federal Constitution to
give women the ballot and to provide
nation wide prohibition. He also fay
ed the Federal child-labor Legislation
which has passed the House and now
is pending in the Senate.
Discussing the proposed amendment
to the Constitution that would give
women the ballot, Mr.. Tucker said:
The makers OF tho Constitution de-
signed and intended that the right OF
suffrage was TO abide permanently in
the people of the States. The forty
I eight States of the Union have differ
ent and varying suffrage laws. no two
alike. The various causes which ere.
| ate the different conditions OF suffrage
! in the State cannot be harmoniZed i.y
! the Federal government into one uni.
| form, acceptabl enactment applicable
/ TO all of the States. and the adoption
/ Of this amendment would invite the
attempt as was tho case in the ndor
! ton Of the fifteenth amendment.
The prohibition amendment ~ quite
! analogous TO the above. although the
! principle involved in this is different
in this, that suffrage in the States is
/ provided directly in the Constitution,
while the right of each State to con-
| troll the liquor problem rests with the
States because never granted to the
! Federal government. No safer system
it is earnestly suggested, can be de-
. Vised than that o. the original Con-
s;itution, namely, the absolute control
Of all internal police matters by the
people of the separate States.
When the forty-scven States of tho
nj .in .l>,,t
eat and what we must drink or where
withaA we shall be clothed in Virginia
problem in constitutional law is adj
advanced that would shock the MAX
ers o: the Constitution, we'll az it's
greatest expounder. John Marshall,
were they living to witness 1t.
The child labor bill now pending
in Congress provides that no product
of mine or quarry shall enter into
interstate commerce if produced by
| children under sixteen years OF age;
| that no product OF "a factory shall be
| introduced into interstate commerce
if produced by children under four
teen years of age or by children un-
der sixteen employed more than eight
hours day, or by children under six
teen employed OF right
ut will lie noticed that this bill does
not provide an c,ght-hour day for
children working in factories in the
state, nor does il prohibit the work
ing of children In factories ut night
nor in mines or t,uarries under six
teen years of age. Why? Clearly be
cause ii is well understood that Con-
gross has no power to legislate upon
any of these questions in the State
and therefore the resort is made to
the generous ana ample commerce
clause of the Constitution to supply
this lack OF power in Congress to CON
troll this question"

some of these changes were made by
