What is the matter, Dad? You are

To Bob, Father has always been
the "best sport ever" and the two,
with Joe, our setter dog, have chum-
med together ever since the first time
that the youngster ever showed an in
terest in the outdoor world. Father
had taught him, day by day, the lore
of the woods and fields, the hidden
secrets of the streams, and the habits
of the wild beasts. They had hunted
and fished together, and to Bob,
Fathers statement was pure heresy.
"No, Son. am not too old for it.

"Well, aren't they?" demanded
Bob. Surely, Dad, you are not get

rather guess that God gave even the
gray squirrels soul. I never quite
believed it before, but today just

REPUBLICANS FIGHTING

Washington, June 12.-Determina-
ton to bring about decrease in the
representation of Southern states in
the House of Representatives and
ELECTORAL college on account of what
he charged was Acknowledgement
there of negroes, was expressed to-
night in an announcement by Repre-
sentative Tinkham, Republican Mas
sachusetts, that tomorrow he would
introduce resolution for an investi-
cation of the enforcement of the
18th amendment in the South.
Mr.. ,Finkham already had petition
ed for a conference of Republican
members of the House for discussion
| of voting conditions in the South,
and it is to be held Thursday night.
Defeated during the last session
and thus far this session in his at
tempts to force an issue on Southern
representation, Mr.. Tinkham said his
new resolution would be drawn in
conformity with the opinion of the
House census committee that specific
instances of Acknowledgement must
be cited before a congressional in
vestigation can be undertaken.
The Massachusetts member an
| nounced he would charge that in the
general elections last November in IL
Southern states, negroes were de-
MED the right of casting ballots. He
declared it was susceptible to proof
that in some of the II states the laws
in relation to registration and to the
counting of ballots and otherwise
were so unfairly and with such par
tisan partiality administered in and
prior to the congressional elections
of 1920 as to designedly disfranchise
persons constitutionally qualified to
become electors"
The resolution, Mr. Tinkham an
nounced, also will contain a charge
that in all of the II states cited there
were in 1920 many thousands of male
and female citizens more than FL
years of age who did not own forty
acres of land or possess certain
amount of property, who had not
paid taxes or poll taxes and who
could not read or write or understand
and interpret the constitution as re-
quired by various state laws and con-
stitutions
Requirements of the states on
voters are set forth in the resolution
according to Mr.. Tinkham. He stat
ed that Alabama, with total of l.
143,295 males and females over 21 in
1920, cast vote of 227,293 for con-
gressional candidates of the two ma
jor parties last fall; Arkansas, with
S67,292 of voting age, cast vote of
189, ,410; Florida, with 436,614 of
voting age, cast 116,364 votes; Lou
isiana, with 924,184 males and fe-
males over p, cast 1857 votes;
Missippi, with 876,1O6 of voting age,
cast 70.657 votes; North Carolina,
with 1,210,727, cast 522,2S7 votes;
South Carolina, with 779991 cast,
65,737 votes; Tennessee, with 1,214,-
947, cast vote Of 395,946; Texas,
with s,257,003, cast .A05,S2s votes
and Virginia, with 1,207,O74, cast
23S.8O3 votes. Comparative figures
for Georgia, Mr.. Tinkham said, were
not available.

 GOVERNORS IS CAUSING
 SENATORIAL DISCUSSION
By Associated Press


 Washington, January 31.-The atti- tude of southern governors toward res olutions passed by the Southern Tariff association at its recent Atlanta meet ing urging enactment of the emergency tariff bill caused considerable discus 'slon in the Senate today when the res- olutions were read into the record by Senator Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana.
 The stationery of the association, which, it was said, carried the list of practically all the southern governors as vice presidents, was read by Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota supporter of the Fordney tariff bill This brought from Senator Robinson, democrat Arkansas, the statement that he did not believe more than one- fifth of the southern governors were present at the convention or had any knowledge of the resolutions, while Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, asserted he was certain the resolutions did not express the senti- ments of the governor of his state.
 Senator Thomas democrat, Colorado, entered into the discussion saying he favored tariff for revenue only and would not charge his ideas at the "in- structions' of any gathering in any section.

By Associated Press

Chicago, January 31.-Amercan rail- roads. through Brig. Gen. w. w. Alter bury, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines, today urged before the railroad labor board immediate abrogation of the and their employees, and brought to a focus what railroad executives declared was a critical situation, threatening many roads with bankruptcy. No wage reduction would be asked at present, If the agreements were annulled, General Atterburyy sad.
 The course recommended by General Atterbury was injected into the boards hearing on rules and working conditions which have been in progress for more than three weeks. Vigorous protest, charging the railroads with vic- lation of the transportation act, was made by J. G. Luhrsen, president of the American Dispatchers' association, in re- ply to General Atterbury's statement.
 Notice that a reply would soon be forthcoming from the IS brotherhoods was also given by B. M. Powell, presi dent of the Railway Employees Depart ment of the American Federation of La bor. Tonight MT. Jewell sent long telegram to President Wilson. protesting against any interruption of the board proceedings.

 General Atterbury declared that the railroad situation was so urgent that he could entertain no proposal of confer ences with employees, as they could not
 Cor J vel delay might throw the whole situatcn into chaos and flood the board with pe- titions from railroads for reduction of wages.
 General Atterbury appeared before the board in behalf of the American Associa- tion of Railway Executives labor com mittee, of which he is chairman. He de- clared that unless operating expenses were immediately reduced many roads faced bankruptcy, and that wiping out the national agreements offered quick solution to part of the problem. A re- auction of $500, 900 year in operating expenses could be effected by overrulinS the existing agreements and restoring to the status of December 31, 1917 he said.
 The national agreements, he continued were forced on the railroads as war measures and cause gross waste and m efficiency" The first step in the rail roads retrenchment should be removal of these agreements which. the roads de- clare, will materially reduce operating expenses.
 Suggestions by members of the board that further conferences be held between the roads and employees were rejected by General Atterbury. Judge R. M. Barton chairman of the board, said he consid. cred some basis necessary for railroad operations, and questioned the wisdom of wiping out the existing agreements. Rebuttal by the employees would be heard immediately, however, he said, and the matter taken up at once by the board.
