the constitution of the United
States where all peoples are free
and equal and compared coalitions
here with conditions that existed in
the countries in which revolutions
flourished and closed by stating that
there was no occasion for revolution
of any kind in the United States.
These statements were loudly ap-
plauded.

HARDING DEAD.
Messages received early this morning
the death of President Harding 0last
evening at 7:3O. The President suffered
stroke of Apoplexy. News confirmed by Du.

and is the manager of the telephone
exchange. Kowalke and Kalb are
Pine City boys and have been en-

sport of the game.

folks who have gone from here but
who have a warm place in their
hearts for the old home towns. 1t
will be home coming for the Du-

Duluth day at the fair this year

Grand Rapids day at the fair will

.B|BB|NG COLTS
MEET DEFEAT.
ELY BOYS TRIM UP THE HIB.
BING TEAM SUNDAY
8 TO q.

The attendance at the game Sun
day demonstrated the fact that the
people wish to see ball games with
real clubs splaying and are perfectly
willing to pay good money for such
an exhibition. The attendance at
the Hibbing-Ely game Sunday was
greater than at any previous game
for the season outside of the one on
the Fourth of July. The Community
Band was present and favored the
audience with choice selections be-
tween the innings and before the
game staged a parade to the ball
park.
The Colts are of the better class
of teams and for several years have
been leaders in the Mesaba range
league. This year they are playing
Independent ball and have given
some of the better travelling clubs
something to worry over. Ely was
not considered in the class with the
Hibbing team but Sundays eXhibi-
tions proved that the two teams
were not so far apart when It came
to putting up a good show. The
game Sunday was in the nature of
an experiment to demonstrate the
ACCESSIBILITY Of being financially
able to care for better class ball in
this city and whether or not people
would attend the games.
The local management is now
negotiating with the fast Crosby
team and will also try the leaders of
the Mesaba range league. Ely had
an application in for the league but
all berths are taken in the eight
club organization which is now play
ing the second half of the schedule
with Chisholm as the winner of the
first half.
Upham started for Hibbing Sun
day and held the mound until the
seventh inning when he was re-
placed by Cy Reiger the emery-ball
artist. Ely garnered IL hits
while Hibbing was satisfied with 7.
Carol Booth was behind the bat for
Hibbing. Kowalke and Lambert
filled the points for Ely. While
Kowalke walked five, he whitfield H..
Upham walked one and struck out
5. Moravitz started something in
the sixth inning when he clouted out
home run and inaugurating a rally
which lasted through the seventh.
H. Chinn pulled down a long one
in deep center in the eighth which
was labeled for extra bases. The
box score shows up as follows:

BOYS SHOW PLEASED
TWO PACKED HOUSES

The 20 boys on a tour of the nor
thwestern states, accompanied by
Father Flanagan, filled their engage
ment in Wolf Point with marked sue
cess. At the afternoon performance
at four o'clock, The Liberty was
packed with children and their es-
corts, while at the evening show, for
adults only, there was standing room
only and not much of that. Every
body was pleased at the clever work
of the boys.
The troup was from Father Elan
agan's Boys Home" which is locat-
ed at Omaha, Nebraska, and the
chief object of these free perform
ances was to let the public know
about the home and the work that is
being done there. Opportunities
were given for free will offerings
and a sum estimated at several hun
dred dollars was contributed to the
worthy cause. Father Flanagan con-
ducts his tour in good style, the party
appearing to be very comfortable in
their specially equipped car Cover
look" He has good control of his
boys and knows how to advertise.

many waits of the streets, boys who

IL years of age were being sent to
the state industrial school at Kear-
ney, simply because there was no
other place to send them.

YOU MAY WATCH 1T GROW
Dearborn Independent


You may traverse two thousand
years in two weeks by going from
London to Egypt. You may traverse
at least Is years by the simple
method of reading the current issue
of any London daily. For they have
what they call a prohibition fight
over there, and any American who is
curious to know how and why pro-
hibition comes need only read a Lon
don daily. Lady Aston, born and
bred in America, has introduced a
bill which caused all the trouble. 1t
is a very simple bill. 1t is as far
from prohibition" in the proper
sense of the word, as anything could
be. 1t is such a bill as the "wets"
of any other country would cam
paign for, and do it gladly. The bill
merely makes it illegal to serve
liquor to children in saloons, for con-
sumption within the saloon. Just
that. In England the tots of the
poorer quarters run with their pen
MES to saloons as the American tots
run to the candy stores, and Lady
Aston, seeing the pity of it, present
ed a bill making it illegal to sell drink
to children. The bill does not inter
fere with ancient booty institutions
of rushing the growler," not for a
minute. Children may still be sent
on errands to carry beer, or gin or
whiskey to their parents. But as for
f%requenting the saloon itself, licking
up drinks and otherwise showing
oneself sophisticated, Lady Aston
thinks the age of 10 is quite early
enough to begin that.
But to hear the Lords and Com
mons rave, one would think that
"British fair play" which is the over
sea equivalent for personal liberty"
were greatly in danger. All the elo-
quence. all the logic, all the prestige
and all the politics of the highest
quarters were modified to denounce
this perfectly sane proposition. Oh,
if Dickens were only here to see
Church and State in England fight
ing for the rights of children to in
fest the saloon!
But here's the point: 1t is pre-
cisely what occurred in the United
States less than 40 years ago. The
movement to make an age limit for
saloon f%requenters was fought so bit
terly in the United States that it
really formed the public opinion out
of which all subsequent prohibition
efforts came. Decent people were so
astounded by the spirit shown by
''the traffic" in the case of child pat
rons, that an oath was registered to
do away with it, and thus it came to
pass. The history of prohibition is
written entirely in the gross stupid
ity of the business" And it would
appear that, unprofiting by the past,
the public houses of England are
about to repeat every mistake the
American saloon made. The 'busi-
ness has no Pussyfoot to guide it.

Tagged Boys
perhaps the greatest testimony
that the home has come to be regard
ed everywhere as a refuge for the
friendless is the fact that we have
received "a tagged" boys who same
