JOHNSON PAVES
WAY FOR BOLT

Though he declines to state
whether he will actively support
Governor Roosevelt as the presi-
Dental nominee of the Demo
cratic party, Senator Hiram John
son (RO of California was caus-
ing a deep stir in political circles
today by issuance of a statement
unuualifiedly endorsing the Roose'
velt acceptance speech and label
ing it as "the most important
speech of our day."
The Californian is a Republl-
can, but during his IS years in
the Senate has always been an in
dependent Republican. He has
not hesitated to break with party
leadership when he believed it
wrong and his comment on the
Roosevelt speech is regarded as
deeply significant.
Senators Norris of Nebraska
and Frazier of North Daktoa, also
of the progressive wing Of the
G. o. P, are today aboard the
Roosevelt bandwagon and Specu-
lation at the Capitol is that Sena-
tor johnson may get aboard.

Dear Rudy:
Wait a minute before you toss
away that megaphone-we're 60
ing to tell on you!
We stole into your dressing
room between shows, just to say
hello, and caught you in the act
of-of all Misunderstanding.
You looked like the night be-
fore mid-years at Yale, with your
nose buried in a huge book on
Criminal Law" and your saxo-
phone lying forgotten in a cor
ner.
So it's really true you're going
to be a lawyer, Rudy? You ad.
mitted it, and it's going to be sad
news for the Daffydills. What a
blow.
But I won't start my practice
for about four years." you ex-
planned consolingly. There's a
lot to learn in the legal profes-
sion."
Well, we should say there is
after one glance at that pile OF
law books on your makeup

.BALLOU FEARS
/ SCHOOLS JAM

The scarcity of funds for
school construction and grounds
in the 1888 appropriation bill will
cause congestion in the local
schools within a year or two,
according to DR.. Frank w. Bal
lou, superintendent of District
schools.
Just before leaving his office
for Yale University, where he will
conduct a summer seminar, DR..
Ballou commented that the $4OO..
900 decrease in appropriations for
school grounds, as compared with
the 1882 bill, will handicap con-
struction for some time.
The bill, which provides $12,-
162,730, is $1,343,830 less than
last years appropriation.
Under the present appropria-
ton, $95,000 is allowed for a site
for the Logan School for colored
children. This is the only fund
for school grounds.
The present bill allows $1,266,-
900 for construction, as compared
with $2,72O,OOO last year. Al
though this will not seriously
handicap the schools during this
year, DR.. Ballou declared, it will
cause considerable congestion in
the future.
On the whole, however, DR..
Ballou asserted. the bill is a "gen-
erous one" in view of present
conditions.
