threatened injunction suit on the part
or Lutte Brown does not materialize.
the city council was told this morning,
by repres entatives of the company,
who wanted to know if the city could
guarantee any protection. 1t is said
that Brown Is claiming squatters'
rights, but inasmuch as he has been
on the land only three years, it was
not thought that his claim had any
validity.
The company is willing to make
proposition to Brown to move him Off
the land. Representative of the com.
pany say that If the suit is going to
materialize they will abandon their
plan of building ways at Keokuk
They planned to install dock where
their boats and barges could be over
hauled during the winter
The city gave them lease for
year on this property and at the time
explained all of the powers that the
corporation has in the matter. The
company is getting ready to build the
ways now, but claim they have been
notified of pending injunction
against them by Brown. II this mat
ter cannot be adjusted without going
into courts, the company plans to
abandon its project here.
Browns attorney, 1t is understood,
is relying on a previous rRurt decis-
ion to base his claims for his ,Glient.
Some Of the council seemed to think
that the more recent decisions of the
courts and the councils action in
granting certain roads gave them jur-
isdiction in the matter.

The company expects also to make

large numbers of these machines

Operation in and about Chicago and
people who have seen them insist on
obtaining this style. Orders already

Smaller machine is an ideal light
manufacturing proposition and will
be made entirely in keokulc. except
for the motor. This is standard and
|obtainable from large electrical man,

The small type weighs forty-five
pounds complete with motor, and
produces temperature much lower
than that of ice. This results in real
conservation of food materials,
especially in regard to the keeping
of milk and other such food stuns.
Skilled Help Used.
The company will use skilled help
largely and will add desirable ele-

classes of machinery.
The project was brought to the at

direction of Raymond B. West, and
which has been proclaimed as the
most artistic achievement in which
this gifted little star has yet ap-

romance with Miss Barriscale as a
little girl in Scotch fishing village.
This aeroplane drops, most uncere-
moniously, bird man to brighten the
arab tone of the shore folk life. AS a

very essential to the production, as

Townley Holds His State

The country districts of North
Dakota have once more overcome the
city and town vote, and the Nom
partisan League has again carried
the Republican primaries. The
total shows slight increase in the
league vote, very considerable in
crease in the opposition. If the re-
naming uncounted districts yield
the expected vote, the primary will
indicate that the astute Townley
still holds secure grip on North
Dakota, but that the opposition is
slowly gaining ammunition and fight
ing power.
Several factors have aided the
growth of the opposition. The reve-
lations of the leagues financial
methods in connection with a Fargo
bank intensified the feeling of doubt
and insecurity touching Townley's s
larger schemes. The leader of the
opposition, William LANCER, former
member of the league and associate
Of Townley, made the most of
these indications Of wild finance. Ris-
ing tax rates have reinforced the
feeling Of dissatisfaction. On the
ether hand, the state bank has be-
gun to operate, and thus far success
fully. This proposal is the most con-
servative on the leagues program
and the most likely to succeed, in
the opinion of impartial observers.
So far as state flour mills and pack
ing houses 60, Townley is going slow.
Apparently, 1t will be a good while
before there is an actual test of his
socialist state upon an extended
scale.
Meanwhile, Townley is concentrate
ing upon Minnesota. He lost the
Republican primaries there, but
showed good deal of strength. Any
wildfire spread of the Nonpartisan
League seems definitely disposed Of.
A sounder and less sensational evo-
luton is apparently Townley's plan.
If North Dakota can be isolated as
an experiment station in radicalism,
no one will worry. The test of old
fashioned state socialism ought to
produce interesting and valuable
evidence, and, however unfortunate
the era may be for North Dakota,
the lesson for the whole country
should be sound and helpful.

stalled that would be out Of place in
a closed street.
Not only would the children be
benefited and worried mothers re-
lieved of the fear that their chill
dren might be killed or manned, or
wander away and be lost, but all
streets would be freer for necessary
traffic and travel. Moreover, if
there were no backyard dirt the
summer season would be marked by
less disease.
In New York, with homes piled up
in layers, there can be no outdoor
life for millions Of little children
unless it is definitely and scientifi-
cally planned for. The city greatly
needs a successor to Jacob Riis. 1t
is not time to say nothing can be
done. Much can be done if a real
public demand is aroused.

In Free and Happy Russia

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Would some of our Socialist
statesmen be willing to discuss their
views regarding the freedom of the
press under a socialistic form Of gov
eminent after reading the following
excerpt from an article which appeared
in "The Western Daily Mercury"
Plymouth, England, issue Of June ID.

RUSSIA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
A LABOR LEADER.
:" I'm glad to be back in Yorkshire.
where I can get bath and bite of

ner, of Bailey, to Yorkshire Evening
Post reporter, who interviewed him on
his return from Russia.
"Mr. Turner was chairman of the
British labor delegation which has
been visiting Bolshevist Russia, and
has come back in advance of his COL
leagues to present an interim report to
the conference of the British Labor
party at Scarborough.
heAIHe scorHS tne notion OF the
freedom of the press, and The Evening
Posts representative asked Mr.. Tur-
ner if it would be possible to run a
newspaper in opposition to the Soviet
government.
'Candidly,' was the reply, 4 don't
know how any man could do it. He
would have difficulty in buying paper,
and all the printing works belong to
the government.
Private trade Is technically illegal,
but there are few shops left"

The Amy of Discomfort


The Committee of Forty-eieht. the
Union Labor party and the single
takers are all to hold their national
conventions in Chicago the same week.
Yet it is not expected that there will
be any noticeable strain upon the hotel
accommodations Of the city. Here are
three groups that might we'll sleep in
the same bed. All that is needed is q
crazy-quilt for covering. The Forty-
eight expected to have the support of
Senators Borah and Johnson and their
immediate following. They would have
wished to name one Of them on their
ticket, but after the participation Of
these two Senators in the proceedings
of the Republican convention they can
not in reason calculate upon their ac-
tive support. They therefore turn
to La Toilette as representing the
army of discomfort. The Wisconsin
Senator has just had his gall removed
in a Minnesota hospital, but it is be-
lieved that he will have enough left 10

A Backyard Utopia

- Both idealism and practical COM
mon sense are in the proposal Of Dr.
Josephine S. Baker, City Director of
Child Hygiene, to use the spaces
back of tenement houses as chill
dren's Fairgrounds.
Dr. Baker believes that city dwell
tngs of the future will have appur-
tenant Fairgrounds, but she thinks a
beginning could be made now. Back
yards are now fenced off into little
squares and commonly filed with
refuse. IF the fences we're removed
large areas would be available for
play. The children would be safe
from the danger Of street traffic
and also within call of their homes.
The backyard plan is less expensive
than closing streets to traffic.
Policing would not be required and
playground apparatug could be in

Dr.. Tildsley, Patriot

DR.. Tildsley, Associate Superin-
tendent of High Schools in the city,
is not pussyfooter. He is an out
spoken and courageous citizen and
one of the really distinguished teach
ers in our public school system.
Through twenty-five years of service
he has maintained a vigor and orig!-
nality Of mind that are an inspira-
tion to all who come IN contact with
him.
These facts make the delay of
the Board Of Education to reflect
him to his position a matter of grave
concern. The opposition comes from
certain elements in the Teachers
Union. which find DR.. Tildsley an
intentionally patriotic head. Now,
The Tribune has made it clear that
it views any rigid censorship of
teachers and of education as un-
American and dangerous. But The
Tribune can find nothing in DR..
Tildsley's policy or methods to JUS
tify criticism on this score.
1t Is true that DR.. Tildsley "went
to war promptly and fought pro-
Cermanism in the schools and out
CT them from stanch convictions
and high sense of obligation. Late
ly, in furtherance of plan of Amer
icanization, he has sought to ascer-
tain what the minds of the public
school pupils held toward such sub
jects as Bolshevism and what was
being done to clarity their minds
upon these matters. DR.. Tildslev
has been a leader in the new move
ment toward teaching civics as a
matter of practical, everyday boy
cnd-girl activity, and the survey un-
dertaken was a logical and valuable
step in the development Of this work.
No censorship of teachers was in
volved, but only constructive cam
paign for the planning Of sound
system Of Americanization.
The Board of Education cannot
act too quickly in making it. clear
that it stands with DR.. Tildsley in
this situation. OF all the factors
that make for Americanization, none
is comparable with the public school.
None needs moro careful guarding.

Sir: May an unhappy anti -prohbi.

the ruthlessness OF morality?
[ observe, with great apprehension,
the announcement of Mr.. Edwin Bell in
your issue of July ? Of the campaign
in which the heart and conscience Of
the nation are to be searched as they
have not been searched for half cen
tury.
During the last three years many Of
us have undergone physical examina-

with the income tax returns. We have

thanks 10 the prohibltionists, We have
been inundated by food of carbonlc
acid gas concoctions which in their ef-
feet on the digestive organs are more
pernicious than any alcoholic drink

Of few nut sundaes to bolster up my
badly wilted privacy in order to resist
this last assault
In the early history OF the human
race the men went into monasteres 10
escape the temptations of vine, woman
and song. I believe during the Cru
sades husbands locked up their wives
to insure faithfulness. These are t"o
ways of procuring morality, by evasion
and by force; the first is cowardly, the
second is barbarous. The people Of
the United States Of America are
neither towards nor barbarians. Il
therefore seems to me that these g.
tempts to abolish the evils Of life cast
reflection upon US. A man who mas
taken the bumps that life has 10 o.el'

than one who has never met them OF
who has been kept from them.

Vienna would do more than establish
direct communication between the
militarists Of Hungary and Ger
many. 1t may have a decisive
psychological effect on the German
people, which, in it's present temper,
is likely to follow any leadership
that proves its fitness for the job.
Kappism failed, not because it was
wrong. but because it was weak and
ill-prepared. The presence Of Gen.
eral Liittwitz at Budapest may
mean that a new royal road from
the Isle Of Wieringen to Potsdam is
sought by way Of Budapest and
Vienna.

Next to Everything Else
the Editor of The Tribune,

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Permit me to congratulate Miss
Gertrude We'll Klein on her letter in
this mornings Tribune entitled Clean
illness Next to Decadence." One of the
most popular fallacies of modern civil
lization is that "cleanliness is next to
godliness." Let me say that | have
found it more often next to hypocrisy
shallow-mindedness, conceit and most
everything but godliness. Rightly
does your spondent say eve might
even trace an analogy between the de-
cadence Of our minds and the cleanli-
ness of our bodies"
Physical cleanliness on the stage was
never so universal as it is in the TWEEN
tleth century, but moral cleanliness on
the same stage has degenerated almost
to a thing Of the past People to-day,
as Miss Klein points out, would hold
UP their hands in holy horror if they
could meet the people who went to
Shakespeare's plays in his day And il
IS safe bet to say that the people of
his plays more than do the stupid hero
worshipers of to-day who pay IS a seat
to see a Shakespeare play and then
appreciate it about a much as they do
Einstein's new planetary theory. Physi-
cally clean, yes, but morally and spirit
ually stupid!
Were Shakespeare beginning his work
to-day, could a theater full of common
people not to speak of being crowded
from pit to gallery-be gathered to-
gether to see moral play? With the
exception of few spiritually illusioned
professors. of course not! Why? Be-
cause moral cleanliness to-day is sub
ordinated to physical cleanliness. The
body rules the soul. But fortunately
in Shakespeare's time the physical
senses had not yet been made blind
despots. The inroads Of mmercalis SIN
had not yet subordinated the soul to
the body.
To-day the shallow spiritual percep-
ton resulting from the abandonment
of living, for the sake of existing by
the physical senses, is responsible for
that remarkable dogma: "Cleanliness
IS next to godliness." However, it is
we'll to remember that truth is no
longer popularity sought except for
business purposes.
And, like Miss Klein, could go on
and on, but it's too unpleasant"
