French Derelict
 Wins Fortune on
 Saint Cloud Races

PARIS, July 14. - Ragged, hatless and practically shoeless, an elderly man was sitting in park on the south side of the Seine a few nights since, muttering to himself. 50, 50 70, the while stacking thin little slips ot paper one upon the other. He attract ed the attention of two genUarmes for he had apparently been drinking too much wine He was taken to the sta tion.
 The desk sergeant was bewildered when the ragged man explained that the little slips of paper he was count ing were good bills of the Bank O. France and that the figures he was mumbling represented their amount He had 115,OS0 francs.
 'I won this money at the races" ex- plained the denizen of the park.
 It developed that the man was one BilIigot. a former colonial soldier, at times street newspaper vendor, known to the citizens of Greneile ward in Paris as Father of Luck or Father Cherry" (the little fruit being known in the parlance of the Paris gambling circles as the emblem of luck.) He had run up 140 francs, the amount or his pension paid to him as an e1- soldier. into 115, 5,0SO francs. The police released him after giving him lttle advice about counting his wealth III public parks while slightly under the influence of red wine.
 Billigot invested S0,oO0 francs ln a life annuity the next morning bought p suit of clothes, shoes, ct cetera' ana before departing for Saint Cloud race track called on the friendly police sergeant and gave him a tip on the races for that afternoon. The horse won. The newspaper LEclair has or fered him 100 francs per day for ms racing selections until the end or the season.

REED FOR COX;
 SCORES LEAGUE
Senator Swears Allegiance to Party, But Is Mortified
 by World Pact
f.4ssoeiated Ptese Leasea Wirel

ST. JOE, Mo, July IA - Reiterat- ing his opposition to the covenant of the League of Nations as it is now framed and declaring that he will not recede one inch from the po- sitioa he has previously taken, Sen Ntor James A. Reed of Missouri ad- dressing meeting here tonight, de- clared that he intended to support the Democratic candidate in the coming election, notwithstanding the decla- rations of the party in regard to the league.
 ''I intend to support the Democratic candidates" Senator Read asserted, because the great people of the Democratic party, which have sur vived the vicissitudes of the century, still live.
 Upon the League of Nations the platform of neither party suits me. But there is something greater than the platform of a political conven- ton. It is the platform of Ameri- canism.
 AS an official I have never vio- lated Democratic platform or fail ed to support Democratic policy"
 One of the principles which he as serted was one of the very cardi nals of Democratic faith is that this government should constitute the leading powei on this side of the Atlantic, shielding and protecting against foreign aggression the weak CT countries of the western hemis- phere and that it should forever keep itself free from entanglements with European and Asiatic powers, refusing to take part in their wars, controversies or intrigues, except where our interests are. directly con cerned."
 Senator Reed outlined the history of the treaty negotiations, saying that the president took back the first draft of the League of Nations GOV enant because it contained defects so serious as to be insuperable in America, and obtained revision. It required every effort of the admin 1StratlOn, he asserted, to prevent ratification of the covenant with the Lodge reservations.
 'If there had been no interference by the executive department" Sena- tor Reed declared. there would not have been three senators who would not have voted radically to amend the treaty. ! also unhesitatingly state that if it had not been for an immense propaganda financed by in ternational bankers, plus the in fluence of the White House, there would not have been a half a dozen senators who would have voted for the league in any form Even the Democratic platform, the senator added, recognized that res ervations or amendments are ne l cessary.

 BENSON, Minn., July 13. - Hear ing in the suit contesting the nomi- nation of Rev. O. J. Kvale; who won out over Representative Volstead in the seventh Minnesota congressional district at the recent Republican pri- maries, was concluded in district court here today. Judge Albert John son, however, allowed counsel for both sides until Friday to present authorities for their argument and indicated he may had down decis- ion next week.
 After MT. Volstead had reiterated that he is not an atheits as charged in the primary campaign, Rev. Kvale took the stand. He said that three factors entered into his classifica- tion of MT. Volstead as an atheist.
 Despite objections of counsel for the contestants, Judge Johnson al lowed introduction of a circular said to have been issued in behalf of the congressman in which reference was made to the parable in the Bible of Christ feeding a multitude with five loaves and two fishes. Volstead was quoted as saying:
 Any one who could feed 5000 per- sons with five loaves and two fishes could settle the profiteering ques- ton.

 NEW YORK, July l4.-Time allow ance, a vital factor to any yaclisman, assumed added importance tonight on the eve of the first Americas Cup race of 1920, when it was learned that in the event of a close finish tomor- row the winner might not be known before Friday.
 Announcement by the race commit tee that Shamrock ", Sir Thomas Liptons mystery sloop,' must give Resolute, American defender hand icap of ' minutes and one second, be- cause of the challenger's greaseI spread of canvass, was coupled with another announcement that the com mittee had granted request by the Irish Yachtsman's forces for re-meas- urement of certain of the Shamrock's sails.
 As it was impossible to put her can vas under tape today and as the yachts will be racing off Sandy Hook tomorrow, the work may not be done before Friday, day of rest for the yachting tars.
 The reason for the handicap in faF- or of the American boat is that sham rock carries approximately l,6OO square feet more canvas tnan ner rival which gives her decided advan- tage in the boat for boat comparison

A PUBLIC SERVANT UNAFRAID.

1t is a sad commentary on our political times
that public servant who is unafraid to do his
duty openly, to talk plainly about public ques.
| tions, to put himself record in the course OF
his duties with no flame I" or fustian, but with
perfect disregard of polite considerations,
should stand out as rare example OF his kind
But so it is Senator Albert b. Cummins by
his course in consideration of and action on
| legislation affecting the nation and the people
who compose it stands out as one OF these rare
examples He has wisdom and foresight, but
other public men have these qualities; yet few
| in public life have OF late acted and spoken
so completely without reserve and yet 50 equal
| ly without attempt at elf-advertisement
Senator Cummns has brought to the dis
charge Of his responsibilities a mind enriched
/! by years of study, reflection and experience.
He has been the friend of organized labor ever
since he has had voice in the councils OF the
state and nation. He virtually had charge OF
the anti trust bill in 1914 when it was under
consideration in the senate. The evolution OF
it's many and difficult provisions was largely
his work. As pointed out in The Gate City re-
Gently, Senator Cumrnins prepared and intro.
duced the antitrust bill which was adopted,
specifically reciting that labor was not com.
modify. He was the author as well Of the ex-
emption of labor and agricultural associations
from the operation OF the antitrust law. But
for the senator's vigorous, earnest and persist
ent advocacy of these amendments they might
not have been passed. The senator was upon
the committee of conference stood by his
amendments and succeeded in retaining them
III the original form.
Today before the republican state convention
at Des Moines this useful, eminent and patrl-
otto member of the United States senate, who
1 4-4~ f>,, fnyY1o
nor, made an all-American address that should
be heartening in this time of STRIFE unrest. HIS
words appeal to sense, and if his point OF view
is agreed with and the path he indicates is fol
lowed this country will emerge from its sea OF
troubles and avoid the rocks of dissatisfaction
that surely lead to undoing of all the good
that comes from observance OF constitutional
law and consideration for the equal rights OF
Lothers.

The overall Club.

Quincy Journal: Two thousand
men have joined an overall club in
Birmingham in a collective move
against the high cost Of living. The
club, formed in jest, gained converts
SO rapidly that the membership grew
to a point probably beyond the wild.
est dreams of the organizers. The
members pledged themselves to wear
overalls so long as high prices in
clothing remain in force. The MEM
bership includes men in all walks of
life. and the latest report was that
birmingham judges of the estate
courts planned to enter their names
on the club roster.
The overall club in Birmingham
shows the extreme popularity of
concerted movement against high
prices. 1t is not unlikely that the
Birmingham idea will be taken up in
other cities and that, providing the
members of the various clubs stand
by their colors, high Prices will be
dealt blow that will cause some
shrinking, at least in the clothing
line.
An interesting, and perhaps iIlumi.
mating. side light on the Birmin CHAM
overall club is seen in the report
that clothiers in the city advanced
their prices on overal1s from 50 to

demand for that kind OF garment.

NO MORE.

shall be no more college presidents

ton has passed away and another

itself. How much trouble could be
avoided II people profited by the ex.
perience Of others. Often they tio
not even profit by their own expect
ence
1t is nothing unusual. They are
doing similar things in other coun-
tries. They are done with D'Annun-
zio in Fiume and in Italy They want
practical statesmen for real work
there and they want no more Of
what somebody in this country called
them literary fellows" DAnnunzio
amused them for awhile but that is
all past now.
And so in Poland where Ignace
Paderewski was the first man in the
republic until the fact dawned upon
him and upon his countrymen that

honor the artist. But they say mo

WE. THE PEOPLE.

"A little group of serious thinkers less than
half a hundred, assembled in Chicago hall not
long ago and after much debate brought forth
d manifesto headed, Eve, the people of Chi
cage, in meeting assembled"
In the meantime the people of Chicago went
their way knowing little and caring less what
this group did or said in their name. The peo-
pie of the country are good natured; that IS
why so many small groups can take their name
in vain 1t is habit easily acquired to think
that we are representing ''the people" Now
and then, as at the time of presidential cleo
ton, we find out what the people really do be-
lieve Until that time comes, no one has the
power Of attorney to speak for the people
Straw votes are not trustworthy. College stud
ents or women's clubs or the passengers on a
Pullman are not the people. Now and then after
a great national demonstration the little people
who think they speak for all the people wake up
to find that the people, are actually outnum
bered multitudes who do not know that these
little groups are in existence.
