bunny dipped his brush into the
tomato red paint and began daub-

But just about this time out of
the forest crept the bad Bob Cat
with his silly little tail. Looking
across the fields the Bob Cat saw
Uncle Wiggily on the shed roof.
"Ah, hal" snickered the Bob
Cat. 'This is my chance. I can
climb up to the roof by means of
the step ladder, just as Uncle Wig

away for fear of falling off. III

So saying, and licking his hun
gry chops with his tongue, the Bob
Cat crept softly to the hollow
stump bungalow. Nurse Jane was
washing the dishes and didn't see
him. Uncle Wiggily was painting
the roof and didn't notice the bad
chap.
Up the ladder the Bob Cat softly
began TO climb.
Uncle Wiggily moved his can of
rcd tomato paint nearer him, but
his paw slipped and, all of Il sud-
den, the can of paint tipped over
and it rolled, and it rolled and it
rolled until it rolled right over the

BOY LEGISLATORS

During the holidays Boys Parliament met in the
legislative chamber of the Ontario parliament build
ngs in Canada These youngsters had been elected by
their various constituencies and they got together in
mock parliament to discuss public questions.
1t is reported that they did it very we'll, too max
ing few improvements the methods of their eld
who really the affairs of the province These
youthful legislators removed their hats and refraned
from throwing letters and papers about the ROOM They
treated all the questions discussed with fine serious
ness.
The Toronto Globe believes that the Boys Par-
ament will help to interest the rising generation in
politics In Canada, in this country, commercial
pursuits and financial goals more sought
after than political Yet politics is worthy
and necessary part of life
Ever since King John gave up some of his rights
Runnymede the game of politics has been increas
ingy Important remarks the Globe.
"The boys of today do their country no better
service than to learn early of the nations problems
and treat them seriously things to be solved"
All of which is just true for American boys and
girls it for the younger generation north of the
border. If more effort were made to present these
things to them in interesting and simple FORM it is like
ly that the group of public men who must handle the
affairs of the country in another decade will be
of a better type generally than the present one.

RICHIE SEES NEW
PERIL T0STATES
Suit Involving Interstate
Commerce Said to Presage
infringement of Rights.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 2.-The SOW
ereign State in American Government
Is in danger of passing as a result
OF the attitude of the Federal Gov
eminent toward States rights. Gov
Albert c. Richie of Maryland, Dem
ocrat, said last night addressing the
convention banquet of the Delta Phi
Fraternity here.
Referring to a suit brought by Fed
eral authorities in Indiana TO enjoin
the State Drainage Commission from
crossing the Lincoln highway with
canal. he said the Government had
started an attack on the rights of
States in field where, until now, no
one has ever thought of questioning
State supremacy and responsibility
If this attack is successful, the idea
of sovereign State will have passed
forever States, he said, will be-
come mere geographical divisions.
The Federal Government, in the
Indiana suit, claims that the digging
of the canal will interfere with in
terstate commerce. referring to the
interstate commerce clause of the
Constitution, he said. If this claim
is upheld, he asserted, the Govern
ment can then assert it's right to
interfere in State police and traffic
matters when it claims States, by not
fulfilling these functions, interfere
with interstate commerce.
THE seriousness of this move of the
Federal Government cannot be over
estimated" the Governor said.
Nor can the object of the Gov
eminent in raising the question be
mistaken. Coming from the Attor-
ney General of the United States
himself, it can only mean a deIiber-
ate design on the part of the Gov
eminent to take over complete
charge of the last responsibilities
which were still supposed to remain
in the States" the speaker declared.

UNFAIR FREIGHT
RATE DISCUSSED
BY ROTARIANS

At the Rotary luncheon this noon.
V. p. Cadieux talked on the freight
rate situation. He said that in the
organization and scheme of making
freight rates at the opening of this
section of the country by the Hill
interests, the plan of the Empire
Builder" was to make freight rates
fair and develop the country evenly.
He discussed the dual system of rate
fixing that we, as citizens, have set
up, admitting that the railroads had
to have revenue, but stating that in
the face of the more strongly en-
trenched cities they were obliged to
apply their increases to the weaker
points. Estimating that the. efforts
of jamestown had lowered that city's
freight bill from two to three hun
dred thousand dollars a year, he said
that the so-called "break" in freight
rates could make or unbuild town.
In conclusion he emphasized the
point that the present rate adjust
ment contention is not a fight
against the railroads but a fight
against. the unfairness caused by the
dual system of rate making.
