because he realized that the

Because he realized that the
question is of party, not personal
concern, the Savannah Press (Dem.)
thinks Is the reason.that Secretary
Hughes has gone in, not SO much
to whitewash Newberry but to abb
solve the Republican majority in
the senate from q spurious taint,"
and it then cites Senator BOrah's
Characterization Of the entire pro-
ceedings to show that this was i'm
possible. The Lynchburg News
(Dem.) considers Secretary Hughes
action as "a blunder," arguing that
the fact that he should have un-
dertaken the defense of such a man
in the face of a SO damning an ar
ray Of facts and circumstances, is
q development which is appealing
to the dismay Of thousands of his
admirers, as we'll as to the, regret
OF the friends OF honest election
methods everywhere" and the Mo-
bile Register fDem.) suggests that
a word has been invented to de-
scribe the case and 1t is 'Newberry-
ISM In spite Of all Mr.. Hughes
efforts, that word will stick. "
Agreeing completely in this line of
argument, the Louisville Courier
Journal (Dem.) recalls the action
Of the French lawyer, D'Aggasseau.
In following the advice Of his wife
to ''face an. enraged king" and
then points out that the difference
between Hughes and D,Aggasseau
IL that the words which the Amer
ican heard were: Go! Forget that
you have America to ruin, and re-
member only that you have your
own political party, and your own
political ambition, to save!'"
THE paramount issue In the
campaign" the New York Post
says, was patriotism versus pacif-
ism. Michigan sent Newberry to
the senate with its eyes open. Nc
matter how voters view the New
berry case it will hardly do to re.
duce primary campaigns to penury
simply because too much money
was used In one Michigan primary
several years ago." The New York
Tribune tRep.) likewise insists
that ''the unforgiyen sin of New
berry is that he appeared as a can
didate Of the patriotic when the
then president had decreed tina,
Henry Ford was to sit in the sen.
ate" And the secretary, the Bos.
ton Transcript Ind. Rep.). says
10 entitled to the thanks of al
right-minded persons" for his let
ter which supplies q readily in
telligfble and convincing summar!
Of the proceedings in the case ant
will clear the air of a great deal o
misapprehension on the subject.

RAILROAD STRIKERS ARE
 SWORN IN AS POLICEMEN

Crestline Ohio, July 2s.-Probab1y for the first time in history striking railroad men have been sworn in as special policemen
 Mayor Milton G. Reed here has ap-
 pointed ten of the striking Pennsyl-
 vanfa railroad shopmen as members
 of the Crest1ine police force, serving
 without pay, but sworn to observe and protect property rights With the sanction of railroad of ficia1s these ten strikers were chosen from among the leve1-headed men- bers of the different classes of rail- road men who walked out of the Crestline shops July 1 last. They will aid the local police in governing the strike situation in the Crest1ine district.
 In event the plan works out sat- isfactorily, it is said, ten more strik- ing railroad shopmen will be appoint ed. The new special policemen work eight-hour shifts and are accountable
 to the Mayor and Chief of Police.

Questions On All Possible
 Subjects Asked Al Library

months from September to June, because of the warm weather, and those who stay in the city do not care to remain in the library.
 While school is in progress boys and girls of all ages go to the library for help in their school work and their home assignments. Youngsters ask for assistance in arithmetic, English, geography and all the other studies dear to their hearts. The high school students are the most frequent visi- tors, and many are the ones who seek the public works civics, history, English and the rest of the easy subjects with which they must con tend. More than once in a while are there queries and quests for English translations of treatises in foreign languages.
 Newspapers are used a great deal, until they show wear and tear from continual handling during the day. Periodicals of all types are in demand, and the library is, especially during the winter months, a scene of much reading. But the questions, say the attendants, are som metimes, to say the least, a wee bit strange.

Golf Has Become Bridgeport's Most
 Popular Pastime

An investigation of the number of people who play golf on the municipal golf course at Beardsley Park dis closes the fact that many of the players are not from this city. Several from nearby towns enjoy the privi- lege of playing here. Perhaps when the Park board finds time and money, to extend the present nine hole course to eighteen holes, the present con gestion which exists will be partially relieved.
 Golf has become the most popular game in this city. In years gone by, only those people who could afford to be members of a club were able to play the game; now several cities throughout the country have estaf- lished a public links where everyone may play. Perhaps it is not as en- joyab1e playing on a public links as on a private course, but the fact re- mains that everyone now has an op- portunity to play the game.
 Just what-a public links may bring about may be noted in the fact that Gene Sarazen, national champion who defeated all cDfners in the open event held recently in Chcago. played on the local public Inks but few years ago. The game will develop to much larger proportions as che spirit moves more and more cities to establish links for their citizens.

KANSAS CITY GIRLS SHOW INCREASED
 DELINQUENCY
Juvenile Court Judge De- plores Present Condition Among Youthful Flap perS.

 respondent.
 Kansas City, Mo, July 2S-Within period of two years juvenile de- inquency among girls has increased 20 per cent, according to Judge B. E.. Porterfield, of the Kansas City Ju- venile Court. This percepttb1e fn- crease can be attributed directly to the lure of bright lights and the gay mothers of today, the Judge de- cIared.
 'aFor the first time in the history of this court have observed that the girls are going back on me-" Judge Poa terfie1d explained. I am shocked. The girls of today are far too inde- pendent for their own benefit. For some inexpItcab1e reason the major ity among the youths of today-boys and girIs-refuse to listen to the ad- vice given by their elders
 ''The mothers who are constantly seeking entertainments outside of the home and those who make a practice of leaving their broods to the care of trained nurse are partially re- sponsSble for the utter disregard with which girls are treating the moral code.'
 Historical data has it that there was once a period when little girls ''were made of sugar and spice and everything rfice.'' But those days are pronounced1y passe now, court att tendants declare.
 Young girls are showing a marked tendency to learn early the Yays of dangerous gayety, nightly reveN away from the home and numerous uncon- ventional things, according to a woman probation officer. A loose moral viewpoint is largely to blame, she said The future of society is at stake. and the courts should imme- | diately adopt strenuous methods to | curb these evils, she declared

Questions of all sorts and on every imaginable topic are asked at the pub lie libraries. If some one does not want to know how to conduct a pub lie meeting he asks how to deliver a speech. Tor, if it isn't a question of oratory it may be a question of the proper way to introduce two people. Perhaps one wishes to know the name of a sanitorium in the Adirondacks pr it is barely possible that the infor- nation seeker just wants some points on running amateur theatrica1s. Once in a while some one asks for knowl- edge regarding telegraphy, and of course, in these days of science many are the queries on radio.
 Workers at the library get some very peculiar questions and they must be able to tell the one seeking the in- formation exactly where it may be found. It is not unusual for some one to come into the library and ask for the address of a small business con- cern thousand miles from here.
 Attendants at the reading rooms about town say that their tasks are much lighter now than during the

Seek Boy Who May Have Been Stolen
 By Gypsy Band

Local police have been asked to look for Kenneth Marvin Williams who disappeared from his home in Drumright, Oklahoma, June 8. On the uay CT h1s disappearance a band of gypsies are known to have passed through the town and it is thought possible that he may have met the same fate as little Jimmy Glass of New York who was Kidnapped by gypsies some time ago and who was recently discovered in Panama.
 Kenneth is described as being g years old, with grayish blue eyes which get black when angered or ex- cited, round full face, weight about 60 or TO pounds, dark brown curly hair, cut high, medium size, dirnple birth mark on top of one ear. scar on forehead, weak eyes, dimple in cheek freckles on face. He wore a straw hat with red band and light faded overalls, when he disappeared.
