MILLIONS For. CHILDREN

One of the most generous gifts of
recent years has been that of Sena-
tor James Gouzens of Michigan, who
has provided a superb fund of $10;-
100000 for the benefit primarily of
the chiIdren of his state. 1t will be
used on vocational, educational, and
health problems, for the benefit of
the children.
1t is impossible to form any esti-
mate of the incalculable good such
a fund will be able to do. The ma
jority of the ills and difficulties
from which children and young peo-
pie suffer, are perfectly remediable.
There is some way to cure them.
The boy who goes wrong and gets
into Jail, for instance, usually does
so because at some critical point in
his young history, there was lack
ing some vigorous outlet for his ac-
tive nature. If he had got interest
ed lin the activities of some play
ground or club that gave him this
outlet, he would have been too busy
to get into crooked ways.
The boy who quits school because
he can't keep up, often does so be-
cause the teacher is overworked in
a too crowded room. If arrange
ments could be made to give that
boy some special help, or to put
him on some kind of work that he
could do, he would usually be able
to keep up, and his school work
would be a success.
When a child's health breaks
down, the cause is commonly some
removable defect or cause. Attention
and money can cure the majority of
these defects, and provide thous-
ands of boys and girls with an
equipment for useful lives who with
out such help will encounter some
form of failure. The states and cit
les should supply many of these i'm
proved facilities, yet it comes hard
to raise money for them. Wealthy
people should be appealed to in ev-
cry state in the union, including
Delaware, to supply these lacks that
states and cities may neglect or feel
unable to supply.

THE DAY for individual effort i'm
cities and towns has largely passed,
and we have to look to organizations
to get things done. One reason for
that, is that when people advocate
some idea individually, it commonly
fails to attract much notice. People
consider their view thus expressed
is merely the expression of one per-
sons opinion, and they are not much
Influenced.
But if the Same idea is voiced by
some organization, attention is at
once attracted to it. 1t then appears
to be the thought of an influential
group OF people, and 1T wins friends,
and if properly pushed and If the
dea is meritorioCls, it can be sue

THE ART OF HANDsHAKING

President lHooVer's hand was pad-
ly swollen 'as the result of meeting
the 'throng of spring tourists who
piled into Washington following the
Easter holiday. He had to grasp the
hands of 1775 tourists on one OF
those days, and he apparently has
not quite learned the ihandshaking
art.
Most of the experienced politicians
understand this art fairly well. In
stead of allowing their hands to re-
main passive, and permitting VISIT
ors to hold and grasp the same as
long as they choose, they have a
skilful method of grasping the Wis
itors hand, and pulling it little to
one side so that the visitor is slight
ly propelled along. This keeps the
line moving faster, and saves a good
deal of effort to the handshaker.
If our people are going to attach
so much weight to the function OF
handshaking in politics, it may be
necessary to have a handshaking
class, in which officials who have
not been through with all the politt-
cal mill, could easily learn this art
and thus save themselves labor and
effIA-l-. ~--
3Mr. Hoover has anot played the
game of politics as long as most of
the Presidents ofpast years, so he
may not quite realize how this trick
is done. But as noted efficiency
expert, he will no doubt study up on
it, and by thettime his term is finish
ed, he may bettable to move the line
along faster shan any previous Pres
ident.
Washington is flooded with tour
lists at certain seasons of the year,
and they feel disappointed if they go
home and have to say they failed to
shake hSndsv with the President. 1t
is like failing to see the Washing
ton monument.
Meanwhile a lot of our folks are
asking why the President has to
take 1time andeffort to perform this
function that amounts to nothing
whatever toward performing his du-
ties. There would be no regret
around here if a President shut
down on it entirely.

Our Imaginary Western Travel Trip

The imaginary transcontinental

The Great Northern Railway, with
its eight thousand miles of track, is

many reminders of the west of an
earlier day.

CONGRESS SCORED
BY BECK IN SPEECH
Says Constitution Weakened
by Laws Violating Its
Spirit and Letter.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, May 31.-Representative
James M. Beck, former solicitor gen.
eral of the United States, in speech
today compared the Constitution in its
present status to the Parthenon-"still
beautiful in its ruins
Addressing the Georgia Bar Associa-
tion, Representative Beck, who voted
against his party leaders on the tariff
bill, criticized the bills provision trans
ferring almost absolute power In the
imposition of taxes" to the President.
He scored what he termed the denial
by the Senate of "the right of the
sovereign States of Pennsylvania and
Illinois to be represented by Senators
of their own choice" and added that
laws are constantly being enforced
although they are in violation of the
spirit, and occasionally of the letter of
the Constitution.
"Cenuries are still before America, {"
he warned land who can safely say
that, If it becomes too centralized for
efficient government, one day there may
not be powerful movement toward
the division of the Republic into two or
three republics, especially if there de-
velop between the sections powerful
economic conflicts of policy?"
The best method of forestalling such
condition, he said. is "to preserve the
rights of the States in their full in
tegrity."
In recent years, however, he said, de-
bates in Congress upon the conStitu-
tionality of a proposed law would be
regarded as loss of time, as they must
ultimately be determined by the Su-
preme Court.
I'm this way, many laws, which Con-
gress regarded as of doubtful constitu-
tionality when they passed them, and
which the court itself regards of doubt
f'l constitutionality," he continued,
"are yet enforced on the ground that
their repugnancy to the Constitution is
not clear beyond reasonable doubt"
Through this breach in the dixie" he
asserted, "a flood of legislation wholly
inconsistent with the spirit, and at
time inconsistent with the letter of the
Constitution, constantly passes, and
being thus accepted as law. the Con-
stitution itself is slowly weakened"

WILL TELL NATION
Of SENATE SECRECY
Robert M. La Toilette Takes
Air Tomorrow Night in Ma
tionaI Radio Forum.

Senator Robert M La Toilette of
Wisconsin will discuss secret sessions"
of the Senate and the wisdom of the
rule which provides for closing the
doors of the Senate when nominations
for public Office are considered, in the
National Radio Forum, conducted by
The Washington Star, tomorrow night
at 9 o'clock. The address will be heard
throughout the Nation over the net
work of the Columbia Broadcasting Co.
The Senator from Wisconsin is strong
ly opposed to the conduct of any public
business by the Senate in secret. When
the question of publishing roll-call votes
on nominations before the Senate was
recently brought to a head by the
publication of roll-call on the nomina-
ton of former Senator Lenroot of
Wisconsin, Senator La Toilette vigor-
ously criticized efforts of the Senate
rules committee to punish the United
Press and its correspondent for this
publication. 1t is expected that he will
go thoroughly into the history of secret
sessions of the Senate, showing how the
bars of secrecy have gradually been let
down to meet the demands of public
opinion, and also will give his reasons
for opposing closed sessions of the
Senate.
Majority for Modification.
A canvas of the Senate has clearly
indicated that majority of the Sen
ators favor modification of the secrecy
rule relating to the consideration of
nominations by the Senate. Indeed,

ported favorably proposed amendment
