Dawes Tones Down;
 to Play "Smooth'" Part

Washington, D. C., July 12.-General Dawes informs the world 'he must talk sense now" He has dropped his Helen Maria" rip-roaring, p1ay-act- ing part.
 The defender of the anti-union shop and originator of the Minute men of the Constitution" announced his change in an interview with a repre- sentative of a local newspaper.
 The general let it be known that his grandstanding days are over and he will assume an owlish pose, as befts his environment Hereafter, when asked a question, he will say T won der" instead of blurting Helen Maria to the delight of newspaper men looking for the sensational. The general said he learned the q wonder trick from the French, who use it to evade direct answers.
 The Helen Maria term pictured the general as blunt, open, two-f listed fighter, an enemy of red tape. This pose was necessary when a commit tee of congress was asking him about war expenditures. The trick won. The public applauded Dawes and drove the congressman into confusion.
 The term has served its purpose and is now objectionable. The general wants to be pictured as he is. Helen Maria" talk may fool the populace, but it is out of place among cold, cal Culating men
 T must talk sense now" the gen. eral said.

 Bureau Ready to Help Pick Best Rock Dust.
 Many kinds of rock dust are suit
 able for the purpose, notably limestone
 and ligEt-colored c1ayey shale free
 from finty particles which it would be l unhealthful to breathe. The Bureau Oi
 Mines offers to assist mine operators i'll determining the suitability of mater ia1 which may be available for the pur- pose of rock dusting'
 Declaring that explosions can and must be prevented, Mir. Bain warns that recent disasters indicates that safety precautions are being neg lected. He says:
 Up to the series of disastrous ex- p1osions i'll 1922 the record of de crease in explosions i'll recent years had led the Bureau of Mines to feel that dangers from this source were being eliminated. From 1901 to 1910, before the bureau was formed, there were 106 explosions in which five or more men were killed, it being cOnsid- cred that where less than five men were killed there had been no ex- tended propagation of a local exp1o sion. In these 106 explosions, 3,296 men were killed. After the demonstra- tions in the bureaus experimental mine, beginning in 1911, the number of a result of the educational campaign inaugurated by the Bureau of Mines and the cooperation of miners and operators.
 Recent Explosions Cause Alarm.
 Tn the 10 years from 1911 to 1920, 75 explosions occurred in which five or more men were killed, with a total of 2O57 deaths, a reduction of 1,239 i'll number killed as compared with the preceding 10 years, although the aver age number of miners and the average production had increased by nearly One-ha1f The most encouraging fea ture was that of the last years of this decade In the four years 1918, 1919, 1920 and 1921, deaths from explosions i'll which five or more men were killed were A. 81, AZ and 21, respectively; hence the recent disasters cause alarm as, probably indicating neglect of pre- cautions.
 "A certain number of accidents due to risks of the occupation, such as the falls of roof. must be expected, but the present high rate is excessive. The great explosions, however, should not be considered to be normal occupa- tional accidents Explosions can and must be prevented. There is no reason, with the present knowledge, why local explosions in mines should spread throughout the entire underground workings. Miners and operators, as well as official inspectors, must take hold of the situation promptly and wig orously or there will be still more seri ous explosions and more men killed. Knowledge not applied is of no value, however practical it may be in its bearings"

a little old lady in soft effect gray
sits dreaming and passing the drear
hours away. She's buried in thought
and her mind is a tease, just waiting
around like the cool faIl-time breeze.
Peek into the mind that has lived
on through years, and what will you
find? Cause for joy and for tears.
Her life is at evening; she's dream
ing Of dawn. Her memory traces
to days that have gone.
There once was a time when a
home was her own. But death en-
tered there and it left her alone.
She's watched kiddies grow into
women and men, just a portion of
life she Will neer live again.
But there's comfort in day-dream-.
ing back to the time when life was
a poem in meter and rhyme; when
right in the prime Of her life she
was dressed, with happiness, comfort
and everything blessed.
This little old lady, in soft effect
gray. sits dreaming and passing the
drear hours away. The dream is of
dawn that brings evening time light.
All her conscience is clear and she's

AMES f. WHITE skipped out
end forfeited a $4,000 bond
OII more than year ago. He
has just been apprehended in Lorain,
Ohio. and brought back.
And an indianapolis professional
bondsman rejoices He stood to lose
hard money unless the missing man
was located.
White was found in the room
where his 8-year-old son lay dead.
There handouts were slipped on
by the bondsman and he was led
away-though the grieving father
begged to be allowed to stay in the
Ohio city for his boys funeral.
Business is business With pro-
fessional bondsmen and others.
Idle sentiment shouldn't be per-
mitted to endanger the safety Of
such a sum as $4,000. Even if it
is necessary to tear a father away
from the funeral of his only son.
Sentiment is good-but dollars are
money.
Before Judge Collins Monday, the
father related his bereavement and
the summary manner in which he
was torn away. He was promptly
released to attend the funeral.
The bondsman's part in the cpl
sode was inglorious.
His lack of feeling surprises us
Naturally. For we have nothing at
stake in the matter. He did. A&a
risked real money. 49,.

BUNK ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT

THO you realize how much nearly chemically pure, 100
cent bunk there is in this yappng about La Folette
assault upon the Supreme Court?
Do you know exactly La Toilette has proposed9
the world has been proposed by La Toilette
progressive platform is that constitutional amend
ment be submitted people asking them yes
whether they the present practice of the
Supreme Cour to continue.
And what is the present practice?
1t is that if five out of nine members the
Supreme Court choose say of Congress passed by
houses signed by the President may be aside null
void if the other four members of the Supreme Court
vote the other way.
There nothing the Constitution it written
which quned such power the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
the people voted that the should any
more the Constitution would be destroyed But that
the point
The only thing that Toilette suggested is that
people be allowed to vote such constitutional amendment
Anybody who says that permit the of the United
States express their will the ballot box any subject
the destruction of this government talking chemically
pure and 100 per bunk
When the Supreme Court decided in
1856 its decision appealed people Abraham Lincoln
became President the that the wrong but
it took Civil War before the people could express their will
the constitutional amendment which settled the slavery que
ton forever.
Vetong the Supreme Court and rewriting Constitution
did not wreck these United States 1t saved them
In 1912 Roosevelt running against the Republican
party and preaching the doctrine that decisions
be recalled by vote of the people T. R. didn't

The persprng patriots and professional politicians who say
that proposal to submit anything of the people is
revolutionary and looks the Government
and Of the Constitution themselves denying corner
stone in whole ece government which is found in that
perfectly clear phrase that derive their Just
powers from the consent of the governed
If the people of the United States vote to consent
that the ninth member of the Supreme shall be greater
than the people than the House Representatives or than
the Senate than the President of the States or than
all OF them combined then that ninth member of the United
States Supreme Court will have that because will be
derived from the of the people which it governs
To suggest whether they shall be to vote their
consent withhold their purely and simply con-
situtiOnal proceeding.

T-7OHN p. MARTIN attempted
to gain entrance to a dance
! at the Athenaeum Saturday
night without a ticket. The door
keeper demonstrated vocally and
A gun was discharged
and young Martin is dead.
Probably admission to the dance
hall by way Of a regular ticket cost
fifty cents or a dollar.
Gate crashing" is one of the IA
vorite sports of a certain type of
young men. At football games,
dances, and any place where youth
gathers, the art, prowess, or skill
whichever it may be termed-is ex-
hibited.
With "crashers" is isn't the mon
ey involved; it's the principle of the
thing.
The youthful Sioux wasn't entitled
to rank as a brave until he could dis
play the scalp Of an enemy. 1t was
immaterial how it was obtained. It's
former owner might have been slain
by fair combat, treachery or acute
indigestion. The scalp itself was the
valued trophy.
Scalp collecting is now tmpractt-
cable.
Not because Of the moral restraint
on the practice, but a row Of CORY
scalps dangling from the belt spoil
the set of the modish coats worn by
aspiring Valentines.
SO their trophies Of personal brav-
cry are fOiled doorkeepers. And
dances are their happiest hunting
grounds.
Poor Romeo. with his romantic
tenderness, would he crumpled
wall flower at a modern subscription
ball He'd be elbowed off the floor
by valiant gate crashers."
