 ID HYPuENAegD President Charges SmaN. ! Coterie Trying to Levy .,
 Political Blackmail. INTEREST FOREIGN
 GOVERNMENT GOAL This Minority Has Said "Do What We Wish or We Will Wreak Ven.
 geance at the Polls," Quotes Executive.

Woshlngton, June 14.-The charge that foreign born citizens of the
 United States are trying to lew po-
 litical blackmail and to undermine the influence of the national gov efnment was made by President Will son in Flag Day speech here today, Ills assertion sounded the keynote of one Of the foremost issues on which ne will go before the country for Reelection. and touched on the plat form which will be submitted by the administration to the St. Louis con- vention.
 The president spoke to a crowd of thousands gathered at the foot of the Washington monument, after he had reviewed for five hours a great pre- Paredness parade, at the head Of which he himself had marched down Pennsylvania avenue. He declared that not since the civil war had it been tested as it is now being tested whether the Stars and Stripes stood for any one united purpose.
 "There is disloyalty active in the United States, and it must be abso- lutely crushed" declared the presi- dent, speaking emphatically "It pro- ceeds from a minority, a very small minority. but very active and sul,- tie minority. Ii works underground. but it also shows it's ugly head where we can see and there are those at this moment who are trying to levy polit lcal blackmail, saying: Do what we wish in the interest Of foreign senti- ment, or we will wreak our 'ven- gesnce at the polls.' That Is sort of thing against which the American will turn with might and triumph of sentiment, which will teach these gentlemen once and for all that loy- alty to this flag is the first test of tolerance in the United States"
 The presidents words were taken as an open challenge to foreign-born Americans who, he has learned from foreign language newspapers and from friends, are opposing himfo re- election. Officials close to him said he was outlining his tand on what he had determined to make a predomi- nant issue in his campaign.
 While the Democratic convention was being opened at St. Louis, MT.

Brotherhoods Flatly Reject Tentative Compromise
 Proposal.
TODAY DETERMINES
 FUTURE OF FARLEY
Brotherhoods Willing to Compromise
 slsbt on Eight-HOur Day and Time aud a Half for Overtime, But Double Compensation Must Stand.

New York, June 14.-A continuance
 of the conference between representa-
 tives of 350,0OO railroad workers ant their employers, called to avert pos sibly general strike involving all the 1 railroads in the United States, hinged
 tonight upon the decision of the rail. road managers as to whether they
 would offer a pacific compromise tC the demands of their employees.
 The men flatly rejected today the railroads tentative compromise pro- posal, and adjournment was taken to noon tomorrow, when the managers will report whether they are pre- pared to present a definite proposi- tion.
 The railroad managers went into an executive session that continued until late tonight.
 Leaders of the men announce that no matter what the offer of the rail- roads it will be rejected, unless all existing double compensation rules are retained. They are willing to compromise on the other issues in- volved-the eight-hour day and time and one-half for overtime. In the tentative compromise, the railroads have indicated their willingness to grant the demands of the men on con- dition that the double compensation rule be abolished. The men declare that such action would not only nullify 25 years of effort, but also seriously impair their earning power.
 Late tonight the railroad managers authorized the statement that it is highly probable no counter proposi- ton would be made to the workers.
 Leaders of the railroad brotherhoods also announced that they expected the railroads would fail to meet their de- mands, and are ready to leave their homes and send out a call to vote a general strike.
 Break Comes Near End of Session.
 The break came near the close of the session, when the railroad man. agers finished answering most of the 105 questions propounded by the men the operation of the tenta- tive compromise offer. A. B. Garrett son, president of the Order of Rail- way Conductors, speaking for the brotherhoods, informed Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad managers COHA1iAAeCCC, CiAt tIIC PAOROoIIAOu was not acceptable to the men.
 "Then," asked Chairman Lee, q un- 1erstand your position to be that even if we told you we would accept your proposition, modified by ours, you couldn't accept it."
 "We would not accept it," was Gar retson's reply. "But," he added, "I want it distinctly understood we could.
 "Now, I will say this," Chairman Lee declared. "this thing is to our minds, as well yours, quite a serious proposition. It involves practically all he railroads in the country, and it seems to me we cannot break until we are definitely prepared to say to each other we are done. Tomorrow morn ng we will definitely tell you how we stand on the whole business"
 Mr. Garretson said if the offer is lair it might be accepted.

How old are you?
That is Chinaman's favorite
question, but one that is considered
quite impairment in this country.
But when you go into an insurance
Office TO take out a policy it is the
first thing asked of you. Conse-
quently insurance statistics are the
most comprehensive ones students of
longevity can examine.
Everybody is more or less inter
ested in facts about the average
length of life and the things that
establish that average. Therefore
the statement by the officers Of a
certain big insurance company that
the critical period Of mans life lies
between the ages of 35 and 45 is
calculated TO make us stop and ask
the question above.
BY long and careful watching and
calculating, this company has ascer-
tanned that out of every 100 men
who were listed as healthy at %
years of age, II die between the
ages of So and 45, as opposed to
five deaths between the ages Of %
and SIS, and only four deaths be-
tween 45 and 55.
Hence they claim that the decade
that lies between 50 and As is the
most critical period of a mans exist
ence. If these statistics are zorro
bOrated by those of physicians. then
II behooves the man in this period
TO have a care Of himself and take
no chances on the supposition that
his constitution is hardened" with
time
The same insurance company
watching narrowly the business OF
men as they gather their policies
says that out of every 100 men who
start in active business at %, five
will be rich and four will attain ia
wealth. The company claims that
any reliable court records will show
that only three out Of every 100 such
! business men leave estates as much
as $4,000.
Something like so out of 100 leave
no Understanding estates what
ever.
There is always the chance OF

The Velvet Hammer
By Arthur Brooks Baker
THEODORE ELIJAH BURTON

lhEODOf61 ELlJAh DAhlON.
Elijah was a prophet in the good
old ancient days.
Who showed the sons Of Abraham
the error OF their ways
He laid the language pointedly and
roughly on the mark.
And every time he said a word II
simply peeled the bark:
And those who read his record know
that ne was not afraid
To grab the bull by both his horns
and call a spade a spade.
He had an honored namesake in the
L. S. senate hall.
Who also Is distinguished for his
gift of CAB and gall.
He gets a vein of fervor and of ora
toric FIRE
From the distinguished clergyman
who functioned as his sire:
and when he rolls a wad OF words
10 swat a burning wrong,
You may implicitly believe he swats
it good and strong.
de thinks the JOB OF president is one
which he can NIL
In generous compliance with the
sovereign peoples will.
He thinks the sovereign people would
rejoice 10 see him ride
The elephant who typifies the Grand
Old Party pride:
And modestly he elevates his welkin-
stirring voice
To WOO the chance to function as a
freebOrn peoples choice.
He's full of deep statistics in his tall
and stately brain.
For memory's a thing from which he
simply can't refrain.
He hopes the worthy voters may
remember how he fought
To keep from hungry congressman
the reeking pork they sought,
And when they seek a champion 70
lead the lovely game,
Insist that Theodore Elijah Burton
be his name.

The man who was bald and didn't

SO he looked at the barber and
smiled in gIee
And said: Say. are you really kid

IF the tonic is as good as YOU claim
