CHILDREN IN TIE STREET

Parents and those in charge Of children, also boys and girls of tel
years Or more, please take time to read this sad story from the Grea
Falls Tribune.
Glenn swenson, five-yearold son of Mr.. and Mrs. Car-
ence Swenson of 7O7 Ninth avenue south, died at the Columbus
hospital late Monday afternoon of injuries received a few min
utes before while apparently attempting to hook" a ride on a
passing automobile With a crowd of other lads who were
playing near his home. the boy dashed into the street towards
an automobile driven by Hans Christensen, al empIoye of the
Ayrshire dairy, and crashed into the rear of the car He was
thrown to the ground by the force of the impact and received
injuries from which he died Is minutes later.
christensen appeared at the police station shortly after
the boy died and offered himself for arrest, saying that, while
he held himself bIameless in the accident, he would rather
that it had been himself who had been killed. Christensen de
clared that he saw the crowd of boys in the street and, sensing
the danger, reduced his speed to less than 10 miles N hour.
He saw the crowd of boys run out towards his machine, heard
the crash when the Swenson lad struck the rear wheel or
fender, heard the fall of the little body to the ground, and
stopped his machine within 20 or 25 feet.
1.-TWO of the larger boys in the crowd had lifted the in
jured lad from the ground when Christensen leaped from his
car, and from some one he learned that the boys home was
but a door or two distant. There he found the mother and
son car. The mother, historical after learning of the accident.
held the tot in her lap while Christensen speeded to the Column

CLOSE-UPS IN The
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James,

Herbert Hoover adroitly side
steps two well-laid plots of his pc
litical adversaries, and shows new
evidence of the clever coaching he
is receiving in matters of politics.
The Secretary of Commerce
achieves the seeming impossible
by satisfying both the vets and
the drys with a statement on the
eighteenth amendment, answering
certain questions and ignoring
others propounded by Senator
Borah, and he wiggles out of a
trap laid by Senator Willis, of
Ohio and others, seeking to alien
ate either his strength in the
Southern states, or the implied
support of President Coolidge of
his candidacy for the Republican
nomination.
Hoover's greatest danger now,
as a seeker of the nomination, is
that he apparently is so far out in
front that the lesser candidates
are likely to gang him and join
forces against the common enemy.
The strategy of his managers is
working with clock-like precision
so far. but this writer believes the
attitude of Vice President Dawes,
who is not an announced candi-
date. or of Nicholas Longworth,
who is not even mentioned, is
quite as easily calculated to bring
success at the Kansas City con
vention.
With Hoover's reply to Borah,
the drys are a mere trifle less
pleased than the vets. Hoover ex-
pressed himself against the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment,
and in favor of efficient, vigorous
and sincere" enforcement of the
enacted to make it effective.
This, off-hand, ought to please
The Anti-saIoon League, but he
refrained from embracing the Vol
stead act and therein the anti
Drohibitionists find much of solace.
Undoubtedly, he did not go as far
as the league would have liked;
certainly he is as damp as the
opposition could expect under the
circumstances. Hoover viii have
much support because Of this
stand in the less arid sections of
he country.
On the flood situation, Hoover
came to the fore with a comprom-
Sc plan based on president Cool
dge's recent suggestion that also
eft much to be desired by both
;ides. and yet he managed to es-
without breaking with the
President, and without mortally

Until recently Washington was
the only Capitol in the world that
had not worked out and definitely
fixed a diplomatic and social code.
Court manners may not count
for much in a democracy such as
ours, but Uncle Sam has for SO
long skirted on the edge of social
plumbers, where diplomatic rela-
ton are involved, that finally the
State department has ironed out
the several difficulties.
So there has been created a di-
vision of protocol, under the State
department, which will tell if ask
ed who's who and what's what IN
our social and diplomatic circles.
Heading this division will be
James Clement Dunn. ceremonials
officer at the White House. and
Mr.. Dunn will have as his assis
tant Charles Lee Cooke, who 70:
many years settled similar ques-
tons for the department OF State.
Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Cook, aside
from knowing just how to place
the knives and forks at a formal
luncheon, just who may take Lady
So and So in to dinenr, and JUS

the President enters the roouH,
also will have other like duties to
perform. They will make arrang-
ments for the presentation at the
White House of all ambassadors
and ministers. They will soc that

quette is observed at all functions

tainments and visits. Information
al conferences will proceed with
out embarrassing incidents in the
under their tuteIage.
Not the least of their duties will
be to instruct the wives Of new adj
mi%nistratiye officers, such as Cab
met members, in the niceties Of
diplomatic social conduct, and that,
if the gentlemen would speak
frankly, oftentimes is the most ar
duous of their tasks.

Washington is quietly amused
over the reported suggestion of
Governor Fuller, of Massachusetts,,
that the Republican ticket be Hoov-
er and Lindbergh. Lindbergh may
he a republican, if he has any poll
tics, but he will not be the running
mate of the Commerce Secretary.
Lindbergh is only twenty-six years
of g and there are certain con-
stitutional barriers in the way
even if he were willing and could
obtain the Vice Presidential nom
ination.

Congress
Here in Washington, congress
swung a few clubs on it's own ac-
count. Amid charges that a pow
erful electric lobby was working
at the Capitol, the Senate passed
over to the Federal Trade COM
mission the task of investigating
the public utilities. 1t directed,
however, that hearings should be
public and that the Commission
should report to congress every
80 days. The Senate decided to
investigate the perennial coal
strike in the Middle West; and a
Senate committee (the agricultur-
all reported for favorable action
on that venerable favorite, the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, as the best So
luton to the farm problem.
The bill carries the equalization
fee and other features disapprov-
ed by President Coolidge in a pre-
vious veto. 1t would provide a
revolving fund of $3.50, 600, 900
from the treasury.
The Senate also ordered an in
quiry into alleged manipulation of
prices.
Enforcement Funds
In the House, the annual fight
was staged over the passage of
the bill providing moneys to en-
the prohibition laws. The
prohibition bureau gets S12, $780,
300 and the Coast Guard $~2S,640,-
300. Not all of the latter will be
spent in prohibition work, how
ever. The House naval affairs

That is why tiny settlement

The United States has en-.

call, too, for leaders of q different

Our cities, our industries, our
enterprises have outgrown the
one-man magnitude. Just as the

one local citizen. Seattle is not

COPPER STOCKS
LEAD MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Strength
and activity of the copper stocks
and the specialties featured the
early trading today. The $4,000
900 increase in brokers' loans as
reported by the Federal Reserve
Board brought the total OF specula-
tive borrowings to A. new peak,
which was not surprising in view
of the sharp advances in some Sec
tons Of the market.
The motor and steel stocks were
under profit taking In this period,
Steel common starting the day more
than a point lower. Expectation
of 400, 000.ton increase in the I'M
filled orders of the Steel Corporation
furnished an excellent background
for profit taking. Nothing more
than the regular $1.25 quarterly
dividend on General Motors was
expected, and that stock sold in
good volume around 1873.
American Smelling, Anaconda,
Kennecott, Nevada Consolidated, In
spiration, and Chile Copper led the
advance in the coppers, buying of
which followed reports Of an ex-
cellent home and foreign demand
for the red metal. United States
Steel was inactive, pending the
publication of it's monthly tonnage
report at noon, but moderate ad-
vances were scored by the leading
Independent steels, under the lead
of Crucible and Bethlehem.
Pools In the fast-moving mercan-
tile and speciality stocks withdrew
temporarily from the scene, and
the trading in Montgomery Ward
and Radio was in smaller volume.
Interest in the tobacco stocks was
stimulated by announcement of Mr.
Whelan's plan to dissolve Tobacco
Products Corporation. Oil stocks
were again under selling pressure,
and a few Of the rails were reac-
tionary. The commodity markets
were steady. with narrow fIuctua-
