 RACE LAST SUNDAY

Six Cylinder evidently thought he was on trip of exploration instead of a race. He says. Anyway, l got back before dinner time.
 C. J. Woofter says his Siberian Six was missing on about seven.
 Musher Neilly at the finish let go ct his team and walked back to get the time, but the dogs not being in- terested in the time decided to go on home They were stopped by one of the bystanders.
 The Flying Frenchman." driving the Coast Guard team said "the dogs work fast enough but they evidently mark time too much.
 Linke is also said to have to have made the mistake of saving to his dogs. March" instead of "Mush. !" That explains it,
 Some one said Woofter was heard to mutter as he crossed the scratch, Last but not least.''
 A bystander was heard to ask Six Cylinder if he thought it was bur den race.
 Every entrant left the course satis- fled that should the race be run over there would be no question as to the outcome. We agree.
 Lucky said he was just getting started when he looked up and was crossing the scratch at the finish. One of the testers on the side lines was heard to remark to one of the entrants. Say, you ought to go down to Palm Beach and watch the tur- ties whiz by"

CITY BOYS AND CONSTRUCTIVE
WORK
By Maud Freeman Osborne


City boys, naturally, have little OPP
pOrtunity for constructive work, al
though schools and other Organiza-
lions are doing their best to offset
this lack Home is the best place for
boys. However, most city homes and
yards do not afford room for their
activities.
Here, then, is a problem for parents.
A proper outlet should be provided
for the energy Of these boys. Failure
to do this will develop habits of idle
ness, or worse, your son may asso-
ciate with bad boys and get into mis-
chief. When he longs for expression
through some hobby, if you cannot
provide the necessary room and
means for it, be careful that in some
way his desire for constructive work
is gratified.
My lad of nine was determined to
take a course in taxidermy - not for
the love of the work, but to earn
money to buy a pony. He first under
took to obtain subscriptions for
boys magazine. One subscription and
forty cents would enable him to pur-
chase a scroll saw outfit with which
to earn enough to pay the initial fee
for his course. After that the course
was to pay for itself.
Several days later he announced,
"I'll shovel walks to earn the rest OF
the money" This he did. Nothing
could discourage him. But to pay
twenty dollars for a course, which
might turn out to be merely of tenn
porary interest, particularly when he
had only a drafty shed for work
shop, was out of the question.
Remembering my own childhood,
when derisiOn of curt commands
chilled enthusiasm and destroyed inl-
tiatiVe, and remembering my lack OF
confidence, my reserve, and my sensi-
tiveness, I decided to be careful and
seek advice.
But who can understand boy with
his determination, ambition and ln1-
tiative better than his own mother?
So, to that which might seem to some
trivial I gave a great deal of thought.
During one of our morning talks,
which took place soon afterward, L
told Laddie that, when he was twelve
and Brother through college, we
WOulu ulONG " J1C SupuA W w
pony could have lots of grass and
place to run out-of-doors. Meanwhile
I told him, he would have the time
to earn enough money to buy his
pony. "And you know" concluded,
eve have no more room for him here
than we have for stu1fing birds"
Realizing that his pet project was
falling through, he cried little, so
said, "But I believe we could put a
work bench and a tool chest at the
foot Of the cellar stairs, where it is
light, and there you could learn to
make things. By the time we move to
the suburbs you might even be able
to build your own stable"
Happy, and now enthusiastic over
what he was going to do when he was
twelve and what he was going to do
that winter with his tool chest, his
ardor undampened, the desire for con-
structive work not destroyed, but
only changed in form, he went about
the task of making the work bench.
One day I stopped to watch him as
he made the shavings fly with his new
plane. Hearing me, he looked UP and
said, "Do you know what I'm going
to do when I'm grown up? I'm going
to build the biggest bridge in the
world"

LINCOLN NEIGHBOR
LA TOILETTE FAMILY

AS the LaFollette family were
among the founders of the Republican
party in Wisconsin, so were the an
cestors Of the future senator and Pres
idential candidate intimately associ-
ated with the family Of Abraham Lin
coin che first President elected by the
new PARTY of freedom in 1880.
At the time of Abraham Lincoln's
birth in Hardin county, Kentucky, in
1909, Jesse LSFOllette, the GRANDPA
ther Of Senator LaEOllette, was living
in the same county. ard was a near
neighbor Of the Lincolns. Living with
Jesse LaFOllette at the time was his
father, Joseph LaFOllette, one of the
original American LaFollettes and a
soldier Of the Revolution, who was to
attain the age of a century and who
died in Indiana in 1884 The LaFOl-
lette family moved from Hardin coun-
ty, Kentucky, in 1928 to Indiana. AS
a boy Abe Lincoln was a frequent Wis
itOr at the Jesse LaFOllette home, and
in this connection an incident Is cited
in one of the biographies of Lincoln to
illustrate his retentive memory. When
he was President he was visited by a
delegation from his native county Of
Hardin. Among the old neighbC rs
about whom he inquired was Uncle
Jesse LaFollette." "As a boy l often
played in his barn." said the great

Courts Wide Powers
Should Be Checked

Wheeling, w. Va.-A plea that the
United States supreme courts policy
of invalidating laws be checked feat
ured an address by James Duncan,
first vice president of the A. f. of
L., at the annual convention of the
West Virginia state federation of lab
or.
The trade unionist said there are
two methods to check the courts pol
icy-one by constitutional amendment
and the other to provide that larger
number of votes than majority be
necessary to set aside an act of con-
gress.
'There is widespread dissatisfac-
ton with five-to-four decisions of the
supreme court" Mr.. Duncan said.
"Our child labor law, which was rec
entity declared unconstitutional. as
interfering with states rights, is an
example. Some eight or nine import
ant decisions of somewhat similar
character have been reached the same
way. Thus one justice of the su-
preme court has more power than the
president of the United States.
"To an old campaigner who has
watched the struggle for human
rights for many years, the sugges-
tion that we leave matters of this
kind to the states to solve sounds
wearisome. We have too mcuh evi-
dence on the way some states handle
Or fail to handle-this issue. There
are states that have splendid child
labor laws, while others, whose pro
ducts come in direct competition with
those of the progressive states, leave
the child unprotected"

NOn-PartiSan League
Plays No FavOriteS

Columbus, O.-One thing all will
agree on and that is that the Non
Partisan League is going into politics
this year on different platform than
any other similar organization ever
entered the prolific field. 1t has an
nounced that under no circumstances
will it accept financial support from
any candidate for office on the state
ticket. And as it is not going into
national affairs at the coming cleo
tion of course no support would be
offered from that source.
"No candidate for office on the
state ticket will be permitted to sub
scribe a penny towards the cost of
the organization or its campaign" one
of the officers said this week, adding
that "We are going to be free to sup
port whom we please and when our
endorsement of a candidate is given
we shall tell why. We have absolute
ly no personal interests in the COM
ing campaign except that honest Of
fcials be elected. On both tickets
there are honest men, The League
expects to weigh the merits Of every
candidate, and if we permit them to
subscribe or give financial assistance
we would naturally be under obliga-
tions to them This must not and will
not be. Support Of the League is
ample to meet all requirements.
Whether the name appears in the Re
publican or Democratic column Will
make no difference as long as the
candidates are honest, fearless and
equipped for the office for which
they have been nominated"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-09-26
Wheeler FrazzIeS
Harry Daugherty
(By Federated Press)

Cleveland - Burton X. Wheeler,
nemisis of Harry M. Daugherty and
the Ohio gang, carried his war against
graft and corruption from the nation
al capitol into their own home state
in a three day tour in which he spoke
to huge overflow audiences in Cleve-
land, Toledo, Columbus, Dayton and
Cincinnati.
The fighting Montana senator who
is La Follette's partner on the Pro-
gressive ticket, deliberately and care
fully used the surgeons scalpel to
get under the skin Of the bosom
friends and companions of the late
President Harding, himself an Ohio
an. In a drawing Bostonian voice,
Wheeler sympathized with his aud
fences in the shame the Ohio gang
had brought on the Buckeye state and
then added fire to a sarcastic review
of these corruptionists by demanding
return to clean and progressive gov
eminent.
The presidential nominee talk
ed to an audience of business men
and women at the Cleveland City club,
where scores were turned away. That
evening he was honor guest at a 81
dinner attended by 500 Clevelanders
at the Hotel Statler. The dinner
marked the formal opening of the
campaign Of Albert F. Coyle, editor
of the Locomotive Engineers Jour
nal, for congress on the Independent
ticket.
Later in the evening he swung over
to the Engineers auditorium, which
seats 1000. But he was forced to re-
peat his speech to 1000 more who
waited for two hours outside the Aud
itorium at an overflow meeting.
Political interest is intense in Ohio,
always a pivotal state. La Toilette is
expected to conclude the campaign
with a meeting in the Cleveland Pub
lie Hail. which seats 10000 on the
Saturday preceding election day. He
was indorsed for president in the
| same hall.
"a vote for Coolidge is also a vote
for Daugherty, Fall, Burns and
Forbes" Wheeler warned. "The sill
| pnI man III Lll6 w IllIe IlOuSc Has Deeu
particularly silent about these expos
ed grafters. That silent man has in
spired attacks on the men in the SEN
ate who dared to expose the crooked
ness of the Republican leaders. The
silent man is one with these men who
have been kicked out Of high office. ,
In Columbus, Wheeler did not hesi-
tate to enter the financial record Of
the former attorney general, whose
resignation he forced.
"Daugherty's salary in Washing
ton," he said, "was $4,000. His ex-
penses were $4,000. Yet when the
senate investigating committee sent
bank examiner to his brothers
bank, recent deposits of $4,000 were
found in Harry Daugherty's account.
Then Comptroller Dawes of the cur
rency-yes, the brother of HELM
Maria-pulled the bank examiner
away from Nal Daugherty's band and
wouldn't let us find out anything
more about Harry's financial transac-
tions."
Daugherty's only attempt at a
comeback was to call Wheeler "com-
mon liar"
