remembrance of our dear mother, ANNA

Remembrance is golden chain
Death tries to break but all in vain;

(By The Associated prsss)

(By The Associated Press)
 SEATTLE, June 2a, A dozen negro non-union cooks and ste wards were severely beaten by twenty striking marine workers at Port Blakely and chased into the woods. Two of them who were badly beaten up stole out of the woods and begged passage back to Seattle aboard ferry boat. The others presumably are still in tho woods.
 Police were informed that the negroes had been put to work by waterfront employers and taken to Port Blakely to be transferred t. a tug and then brought back hera under cover of darkness to be put aboard the steamship Admiral Ro. dgers. at Pier 40.
 The strikers followed in a launch and met the negroes when they got off the the ferry boat and then beat them up. @E

 Referring to "self-seekers, and theoretical die-hards who tell you that you are losing your individual liberty. the President said: ''The toes of some people are being step De on, and. they are going to con tinue to be stepped on, but those toes belong to comparatively a few who seek to retain or gain the pos ition or riches. or both by some short cut which is harmful to the good of the greater amount of the people"

Leacock. New York: G. P Putnam's Sons
G TEPHEN LEACOCK brings new vigor to any

OF an epochal event in our history, aided by a
number OF illustrations from contemporary
prints and portraits, makes this volume an i'm

and growth of slavery in America a dominat-
ing factor in the history of the country, but
one which did not seem important until the
approach of the Civil War. ut was Just part
OF life as they (most people, knew it." Slavery
died out in Europe for economic, not ethical,
reasons. 1t did not grow up in the Colonies as
the result of plan but accidentally at first

the first Negro slaves TO the Colonies in 1919

eva AND CITY's APPROACHES

INDIANAPOLIS is one of the most at
u tractive cities in the country. Its citizens
take pride in the appearance Of their homes
and grounds. Yet strangers who enter, or
pass through the community by railroad know
nothing of this.
They carry away the impression that the
city is dirty, implanted, unkempt and generally
blowsy. This is mighty bad publicity. What is
worse it is absolutely unnecessary. There is
no reason why the railroad approaches to In
dianapolis can not be cleaned up.
All they need is some paint, turf and a few
trees and shrubs. Why should not the CWA
money be used for this?
1t has been difficult to find useful work for
these funds. What could be more proper than
beautifying the railroad rights of way leading
into the city?
Surely neither the railroads nor the abut-
ting property owners would object. Such
project would pay real dividends in good will
for Indianapolis.
Thousands Of people pass through this
great railway center every day. Let us take
little trouble to give them a good impression
of our community.

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

DUT for the cause to which it is dedicated
II and the fact of the Presidents own
personality the nationwide celebration of
Franklin RooSevelts fifty-second birthday to-
day might have become display of hero wor-
ship alien to a democratic peoples ideals. AS
ness and hope.
The money raised by the many birthday
balls and subscriptions will be spent to finance
the work of the Warm Springs foundation,
which in turn is out to war on the mysterious
disease of which President Roosevelt himself
has been victim.
Infantile paralysis accounts for fully one
half of the nations 100000 cripples. There is
need, first, of scientific endowment to isolate
the germ of this disease and discover a means
Of prevention and cure. Next there is need of
more such centers as Warm Springs, Ga,
where its victims may be slowly nursed back
TO health and usefulness.
These things the Warm Springs foundation
hopes to accomplish.
To explain the warmth of affection which
the American people hold for Franklin RooSe-
Welt you must go beyond his public acts. To
millions he is a symbol of courageous struggle
against physical handicap. The Presidents
birthday party will give Americans an oppor
t,,nitv TO advance an appealing cause, while
expressing their personal devotion.
May the candles on his cake increase!

A Woman's Viewpoint
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

DERHAPS in the lawyers case
l. the wish is father to the
thought. When theft is rare there
will not be SO much business for
lawyers and, like the rest of us,
the poor things have to live.
We accept legal impositions with
too much complacency, I think.
We do not rebel enough. If only
few decent citizens had the
courage to go to jail as a pro-
test, We might have less legal
tyranny.
Also, we might be able to
squelch a few of the tiresome
people who are always saying,
You can't do this, you can't do
that, with human nature"
For what you can do with hui
man nature is the only thing that
is really worth doing, while the
changes that take place in hu-
man nature are the only evidence
Of a soul possessed by mortalS.
