CRACK SHOTS Of
NATION WILL
COMPETE
1000 American Marksmen
Entered for Camp Perry
Shoot in September.

CAMP PERRY, Ohio. July IL
Not less than two thousand Ameri-
can riflemen, in addition to selected
shooters from Europe and South
America, are expected to take part
in the rifle competition here from
: September 1 to September 81. The
international rifle matches will be
held here at the same time the ma
tional championships are conducted.
This is the first time the United
States will have conducted the
matches since 1913.
Last year the United States Gov.
eminent did not appropriate suffi-
cient funcs to bring a national guard
team from every State, besides
teams from every branch OF the
service. 1t is unlikely that there
will be funds to bring civilian teams
to the matches, but this, it is prob
able, will be taken care Of by indi-
vidual clubs.
The National Rifle Association is
encouraging the idea of each city
defraying the expenses of it's best
rifle shot. The expense will be:
Transportation to and from Camp
Perry and sustenance while at the
camp. The Government provides
everything else.
Major L. w. T. Waller, of the
marines, who so successfully pilot
ed the United States international
rifle team to the worlds champion
ship in Milan, Italy, last year, has
been designated as captain of the
: 1928 United States rifle team.
Announcement is made at this
time also that Walter Stokes, stu
dent at George Washington Univer-
sity, Washington, d. c., will retain
his place on the United States rifle
team because of his being the worlds
/. champion rifle shot. Stokes won
this honor at Milan last year and at
Lyons, France, the year before. No
shooter ever before won the interna-
tional championship with the free
rifle two years in succession.
The other places on the United
States team are open for competition,
and try-outs will be held at the
ranges of the United States Gov
eminent in various sections of the
country between August l t~.d IS.
The distance will be 800 meters,
prone, kneeling and standing. II is
q five-man team, with several alter
mates.
In conjunction with the interna-
tional rifle championships, the
Palma matches will be revived. This
is the worlds long-range champion
ship.

Prof. Bancroft Says Aliens
Are CroWding Out Old
American Stock.
BY FRED j. WALKER.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, July ia ma
tional plan Of eugenics was adj
voCated today as solution for
Americas political problems by
Frank Watts Bancroft, noted biolo-
gist, formerly of the University of
California and more recently of the
Rockefeller Institute, New York.
IF America breeds future genera
tons from the best mental and
physical types we have today, our
political problems will take care of
themselves, he said.
Bancroft said the lack of men
with vision in our law-making bodies
today is merely indicative of the
average state of intelligence
throughout the country
IF education We're instituted that
would push the brainy student, sup
planting the present method of pull
ing the backward one, we would
nave more to show for our huge
expenditures in this field.
Sees System Faulty.
Nowadays" he said, the edu-
cational plan is to spend more time
on backward students so that the
class as whole will go forward.
That hinders progress and the best
minds suffer.
The tide of immigration is daily
throwing on our shores the scum of
Europe when by process of careful
selection we could secure persons
of the highest physical and mental
development
THE influence of these lower
types on our youth and on the
American people generally is of the
worst. The old American stock
the men and women who shaped
the foundation of the nation are
dying out.
Ioday the remnants of the people
who came here in the seventeenth,
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
are generally speaking, the leaders
or the present system. Unfor-
tunately, because of the regrettably
small families they reared, if they
raised any children at all-they are
being supplanted by the alien.
Crowd Out Natives.
Inc lower types of immigrants,
men and women neither qualified
10y physical fitness or mental caDa-
pilltleS 10 carry on the big work
lHdt Hes ahead of us are fost taking
the government from the hands of
those best qualified to do the work
we continually talk Of the poor
statesmen America now has and
yet these men who make our laws
are representative, unfortunately
oIten more intelligent than the aV-
erage American voter.
Race suicide already has thinned
the ranks of the real American in
eeiilgth'Zla. AS the intellectual
lalliileS one out the foreigners are
waiting to take their places in the
community.
The solution lies in a national
plan Of eugenics and an intaIlipentIv
directed campaign against the birth
control idea"

CLARENDON
{. r. Eastman Says Unless
Measures Are Taken There
Is Danger of Epidemic.

CLARENDON, July 11.-Unless
steps are taken Immediately to mod
ify open sewer conditions in Lyon
Park, an epidemic is liable to. break
out at any time, E. r. Eastman
asserted last night before a meeting
of the Lyon Park Citizens Associa-
ton.
The subject was brought up by
Mrs. N. d. Mitchell, park chairman,
who requested that the body take
appropriate action. The sewer now
drains into Lyon Park pool, Mr..
Eastman said, and is in "a terrible
condition" A committee was ap-
pointed consisting of Mrs. Mitchell,
Mrs. E. F. Parham and Mrs. Rich
ardson to wait on Health Officer
Cox.
The series of debates between A.
Parke Paynes and Hugh Reid, two
of the candidates for the State
House of Delegates from the dis
trict including Arlington county
continued last night before the
Lyon Park association, Mr.. Payne
upholding his contentious relative
to the desirability of incorporation,
and Mr.. Reid stoutly opposing.
The greatest public costs in the
county today, said Mr.. Payne, are
attributable to the system of ap-
pointing officers. He also opposed
the fee system and the continue
ton of board of supervisors.
Mr.. Reid declared Mr.. Payne's
figures were deceptive and Showed
nothing" The improvements on
incorporated cities come largely
from special assessments, he as
serted, and do not show on tax
books.
mo economy would result" he
said from the institution of in
corporation, but instead appoint
ments of additional offers would
become necessary and the expense
OF two courts must be borne"
Charles T. Jesse, a third candi-
| date aligned in many respects with
Reid in platform views, when called
| upon to speak declared his col
league had covered the subject.

State Election is Valid,
Rules Supreme Court.

Minnesota's special primary on
June 18th and the special election
on July 18th, will be held as
planned, the state supreme court
announced in decision last Thurs
day, denying the right of district
courts to interfere III the process
of selecting a successor to the late
Senator Knute Nelson.
The decision of the supreme
court followed arguments on a
motion to quash the alternative
writ signed after Judge R. D.
O'Brien of the Ramsey county
district court, had issued an order
against Mike Holm, secretary of
state, George j. Ries, county au-
ditor, and others, requiring them
to show cause why they should
lot be enjoined from carrying out
the provisions of the Goyerner's
writ of election.
The supreme court held that
district courts have no power to
interfere with the agencies desig-.
mated by Governor Preus to carry
out. the provisions of the procla-
nation calling the election, and
denied the motion to quash the
alternative writ. At the same
time the court issued an absolute
writ of prohibition restraining the
Ramsey county district court from
taking any further action in the
matter.
Tie reasons for it's conclusions,
the supreme court says in its de-
cision, will he stated in the opinion
to be filed later.
Partly due to the action brought
in court to stop the election there
has been very little campaign
work by the several candidates.
And with only four days remain
ing they will have to get busy if
they intend to do very much.

INSCRIPTION: s1.6o PER YEAR II ADVANCE
Pull Together,

On the 18th of this month the
Chippewas of Minnesota will have
the opportunity to express their
preference at the polls for q. 5.
Senator to ill the vacancy exist
ing. The franchise is the most
powerful weapon the people have
in selecting from their numbers
fit individuals to represent them
at the Nations Capitol. The right
to vote is a privilege few people
of this earth enjoy.
1t behooves every Chippewa
man and woman to 60 to the polls
on the above date and express
their preference in an intelligent
manner. A solid aud united vote
is what counts for any class of
individuals. The old phrase unit
ed we stand, divided we fall" has
just as much application to an
election as to any other enterprise.
The election of a United States
Senator is about one of the most
responsible duties that a citizen
can exercise, so make it special
duty to 90 to the polls and cast
your vote.
Secretary of the Interior Hubert
Work has made a number of
promises to the Chippewas of
Minnesota if they viii! stand by
the Republican party in the COM
ing elections Of June 18th and
July 18th. Many complaints have
reached Secretary Work directly
from the Indians of the United
States. During his short term in
Office he has come to the realiza-
tion that something is wrong with
the administration of Indian
Affairs. He intends to 60 to the
bottom of the Indian question and
get at the facts and the reason for
their complaints and grievances.
If necessary he will re.organize
the Indian Bureau and the personal
thereof.
Upon these representations and
promises from a man of tbe stand
ing and integrity of Hon. Hubert
Work, the Chippewas ought to
give the Republican party another
chance. If nothing is done to
remedy the conditions existing
among the Chippewas between
now and 1924. then it will be time
to repudiate the Republican party
in no uncertain terms.
As long as the Harding admin
istration through Secretary Work
is showing a disposition to remedy
Chippewa matters it would, in our
opinion, be an unwise policy to
make a change. Changing horses
in the middle of a stream is
dangerous precedent to establish.
1924 is short distance in the flu.
ture and it is up to the Republi-
can party to make some of their
promises good between now and
that time. 1, ,".
There are a number of Republi,
can candidates in the field for toe
Senatorship. Some are stand pat
ters, some are progressives and
some are radicals. This publication
is supporting Thomas d. Schall,
progressive, at the primaries and
will support the Republican nomi-
nee at the July election whoever
he may be. Thomas D. Schal. is
not an administration man and
would not be dictated to by any
u. s. Bureau. He knows some.
thing of the Chippewas and their
