One day when Uncle Wiggily
came hopping home to his Hollow
Stump Bungalow his wife saw that
he was carrying something in a
box
Whats that?" asked the lady
rabbit. "An adventure, Wiggy?"
"Oh, no." he answered with a
twinkle Of his pink nose, my ad-
ventures don't come in boxes"
Perhaps they come out of box
es," said Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy,
who dearly loved a joke.
Sometimes, yes" admitted Mr..
Longears. And there is something
in this box. I bought it at the
seven and eight cent store"
"Oh, is it new piano?" asked
Mrs. Longears.
mo, it's telephone" answered
her husband. Its a sort OF toy
telephone, but you can really talk
over it,"
You mean from one room in
your bungalow to another room?"
asked his wife. Cor down cellar
or something like that?"
"Oh, no indeed" said Mr.. Long
ears sort of hurt and indignant
like, yet at the same time smiling.
You can talk a long way over this
toy telephone I have just bought.
AS far as from my bungalow out to
the woods and it has bell to ring
and electric batteries and every
thing like that"

"But what are you going to do
with toy telephone when you have
real one in your bungalow
asked Nurse Jane. She knew there
was a real telephone for she often
answered it,

by a California senator. Instead,
the letter said, he was endorsed
by New England man. The en-

Wirin's experience with labor

This is the kind of litigation"
Hays said, 'in which Wirin was

Washington where his radical

OLD WORLD TORIES

A MEXICAN tories are easily confused by Amer
= lean terms. They like British labels better
They point with pride to what the chancellor of the
exchequer calls balanced budget" although no
provision is made for war debt payments to the
United States and the ministry of healths housing
program apparently meets their full conservative
approval.
Yet that program is putting the New Deal to
shame in the matter of what some American tories
term socialism"
James Sommerville Jr., assistant United States
commercial attache at London, reports on British
Government housing progress as follows:
BY the end of June, orders had been made for
the evacuation acquisition of $1,000 houses and
orders respecting $1,000 of these had been confirmed
by the minister Of health.
Meanwhile plans had been approved for $4,000
new houses of which $4,000 have been completed
approximately one-fifth of the number required to
complete the whole slum clearance program Another
$4,000 houses are under construction. These are
being completed at the rate of 5000 month
THE ministry of health is planning to provide
approximately $4,000 houses year."

FOOTBALL PROBLEM

EALL and football call to mind the tactical diff
culties facing the G. o. P. in planning to put
winning team in the field next season.
Never did Knute Rockne face such task.
For in addition to picking popular idols to carry
the ball, the Republican coaches must devise some
way to lure the farmer rooters from the Triple A
cheering sections.
Right they jam-packed there
and "Rah! Rah! Rah! AAA!" rings from millions
rural threats as these New Deal boosters wave ad
Justment checks like college pennants
1t seems useless to tell them that some good old
tariff taffy will be distributed free in the stands
on the other side. They do not need high powered
binoculars to see that the better seats there have
already been reserved by the city SlickerS who
kept them poor with promises from 1921.
Nor have the New Deal cheer leaders been idle.
They put the pep into these rural fans by pointing
out that the Triple checks represent genuine
farmers tariff" first in history paid in CASH and
that the Old Guard is only trying to lure them be-
hind the bleachers to take this money away
Such a situation makes political football more of
pest than pastme for those charged with figuring
out tactics for wearers of the elephant emblem.

BOULDER OR HOOVER?

CONCEIVED in the Harding Administration and
~ dedicated in the Roosevelt, the worlds biggest
dam is now again in the field of controversy the
old old proposition of Whats in a name?"
In the Far West Franklin D. Roosevelt met
with editorial clamor from the Republican press de-
handing that the dam be christened Hoover"
That isn't issue. 1t, has merely been sleep
ing. The dam was first called Boulder. Then it
named Hoover. Along came the Democrats and
with them a man named Ickes regarded by many in
the party ranks of doubtful Democratic origin be-
cause of past association with Bull Moose. But
anyway one of the first acts Of Ickes to blot out
Hoover and write in Boulder again. And there it
now stands.
Those who would engrave upon the massive strlc-
ture the name of the only living exPreSdent declare
it should be done because Hoover served chairman
of the Colorado River Commission that Strengthened
out the about river rights that was started
among seven states when the project first taken
seriously Opponents assert that Hoover really
friendly the idea that he fought for the pri
vate power interests all along the line in the much
disputed matter of electrical distribution, and any
way they ASK why pick Hoover when so many
other politicians played important parts in the vast
undertaking. including Harding. Hiram johnson,
Senate author of the bill; Phil Swing House author
OF the same, and Presidents Coolidge and Roosevelt;
to mention the nonpolitical engineers scientists
contractors and laborers who actually did the work
So it seems that as Boulder the dam will continue
to be known, with no mans name to claim the honor
time marches on and those who here today
are gone and forgotten by the myriads who travel in
future generations to witness wonder in the world
We think this fitting and proper; that rather
than call it the Hoover dam, the Harding Coolidge
Johnson Swing Hoover-Roosevelt DAM it should be
forever Boulder.
Or If that doesn't suit We would suggest that it be

and that those be inscribed in the everlasting
rocks that brood down upon the canyon where they

MOONEY LAWYERS
tFrom The san Francisco New0

ONE of the curious phases OF curious case is the
" type of lawyers who have gone to bat for the
disreputable Tom Mooney.
First there was the late Bourke Cochran Of New
York one of the outstanding lawyers and orators of
his day. a wit, bon vivant, ornament of Long
Island society. He came to San Francisco without
fee in 1917, and gave months to MONEYS defense
at enormous cost of energy time and money.
Today We find acting for Mooney:
Frank P. Walsh Of New York, of II whose
honors lie thick upon him. Mr.. Walsh was chair
man of the United States Commission on Industrial
Relations appointed by President Wilson to investi-
gate the underlying causes Of industrial unrest He
was joint chairman with William Howard Taft, of
the National War Labor Board and esteemed per-
sonal friend of that genial ex President. Today he
is chairman of the New York State Power Authority,
under appointment by Franklin D. Roosevelt as Gov
ernor of New York.
Also.
John F. Finerty of Washington, attorney in the
United States for President De Valera of the Irish
republic, attorney before the Supreme Court in
Washington for the New York Central and Great
Northern Railroads, for the National Sugar Refining
Co., the American Smelling and Refining Co., for
many another large corporate interest a master of
the hounds in Virginia. of stable of ju >pers.
Finally there is George T. Davis of San Francisco,
a leader of our junior bar, a clean-cut, square
shooting young man who enjoys the respect of all
who know him and is destined for leadership
These men seem to cling to funny old-fashioned
idea that man, even Tom Mooney. should not be
convicted by perjured testimony
We say even Tom Mooney" The fact is they
admire Mooney for his courage and principle But
their first allegiance is to justice and to the prin-
ciples set forth in the Constitution OF the United
States
