since the session adjourned,
have begun to flood the United
States mails with seemingly Sc
ditious pamphlets written and
distributed for the purpose of
prejudicing the people against
the Constitution, the Supreme
Court and the Common De-

The Radicals demand the re-

ment fashioned after one of
the despotiSms of the Old

Constitution Day will afford
loyal Americans an opportunity
in every State in the Union to
expose and denounce this dis
loyal intrigue to undermine
what cannot be directly over
thrown"-the American system
of Government of which the
Constitution is the foundation,
and the Supreme Court and the
Common Defense are the

The Human Side of the News
By EdWin C.. Hill

To Deuon turn. Thy pencil,
there shall find
A subject equal to thy happy
mind"
Gainsborough gave them their
lady in oils. In full figure he
painted her, a side view, show
ing the lady in her gorgeous
silks with hustle effect, and
wearing a great velvet hat with
enormous plumes, tilted enough
to the side to reveal her mass
of bright curlS. And above all,
he gave her those eyes which, to
her friends, Looked out at us,
the most marvellous eyes ever
painted on canvas"
Gainsborough passed on, so
did the Duchess and so did the
painting. One hundred years
after the portrait had been
made, in 1876, the London
Times startled England with
the announcement that it had
long been lost and had been dis
covered in the possession of an
aged schoolmiStreSs. How she
got it has not been determined,
but it hung in her sitting room,
and she had cut away part of
the gown "to make it fit the
frame she had for it,"
The picture was put up for
sale and "all the world went to
London to see it," In the great
throng was Adam Worth, pos
ing as rich American. He saw
the painting knocked down for
$4,000, a stupendous price, to
the Agnew family of art deal
ers. AS much as his name bellies
it, Adam Worth was as notori-
GUS a criminal as the history of
crime can show. He was, as
well, a most daring and re-
Sourceful one.
Within a month after the sale
he had gone through a window
of the Agnew gallery at night
with the picture under his arm.
LOST TO WORLD
For another quarter of a cen
tury the Duchess of Devon
shire" was lost to the world.
The search of Scotland Yard
never Iessened, but Worth kept
the picture in the bottom Of a
false trunk. After all, it was but
a small part of millions Of dol
lars which he had stolen in his
lifetime.
The Pinkertons were sure
that Worth had the picture,
and knowing, in 1901, that he
was in need of money and dy'
ing, they got Pat Sheedy, Chi
cago's famous gambler, to act
as a go-between.
Worth agreed to turn over
the painting for $4,000, and it
was returned to the Agnews.
They sold it later to the first
j. P. Morgan for $150,000. And
now the most beloved and most
irresistible lady Of England's
Eighteenth century rests in Sc
clusion in New York.

The Greatest Show On Earth

Few informed persons, even
leaders of the new regime, ex-
pect the next Congress to sit
idly by without considering i'm
portant legislation such as the
Bankhead proposal to buy homes
for farm tenants.
The processing taxes affect
business.
Federal Housing, Home Own
ers Loans, the AAA program and
other new agencies directly or
indirectly concern business in a
vital way.
Consequently, Republicans and
Democrats alike, wonder how
the President can assure bust
ness a rest although his ad-
mirerS have 10 doubt that he
can perform this miracle.

During the period of the
French Revolution a French
bookseller, when asked for a
copy of the French Constitution,
impetuously replied:
81 do not deal in periodical
literature"
Next week the American
people will take up the chal-
lenge of the Radicals-the po-
litical Reds, Pinks and Vel
lows. With renewed earnestness
the people will then reaffirm
their loyalty to the Govern
ment of the Constitution.
This they will do by observ.
ing September 1.-THE one hun
dred and ninety-eighth ami
versary of the adoption of the
Constitution - as Constitution
Day.
Unless the Radicals are wholly
hypocritical they will not at
tempt to thrust themselves into
these celebrations which will be
held in every State in the
Union.
LAUNCH DRIVE
Unless the Radicals are wholly
insincere they will ridicule the
observance of Constitution Day
and attempt to discourage the
people from joining in this
demonstration of their devotion
to the American system of Gov
ernment of which the Consti'
tuition is the cornerstone.
The Radicals would have the
American people believe that
the Constitution is as out Of
date in this century as a maga-
zine of the last century would
be. Hence, their demand that
the Constitution be rewritten,
by the Reds, Pinks and Yellows
who constitute today so large a
part of "the Foes Of our own
Household"
The Radicals have launched a
drive which will open on nearly
three hundred college campuSes
and in thousands of public
schools in the very week in
which the American people an
nually observe Constitution Day
as the birthday of the American
system of Government.
The Radicals are organizing a
new sapping expedition to un-
dermine the Government of the
Constitution by melting Ameri-
can youth in school and college
to rebel against "the Common
Defense"

Tintagel was easily the best two year-old of the field that raced down the famous Widener straightaway in the $90,000 Belmont F'uturity, the richest of juvenile stages. The son of Sir Gallahad III broke well, fought off contention and at the finish had enough left to slave off all chal- lenges.
 Whatever Tintagel had been on other occasions in the past season, on the particular afternoon of the Fu- turity he was a real high class thor oughbred. The finishing drive the colt flashed in the final furlong when Hollyrood put on the pressure seems to indicate that Marshall Fields ace has outgrown the habit of fading in the stretch after showing rare early speed.
 Bred for the Route
 There is no real reason why Tinta- gel should not prove to be stayer as three year old next year. He was bred to go the route. His sire, Sir Gallahad III, has produced more stayers in recent years than any stall lion in the country.
 In booting Tintagel home to win the Belmont Futurity, Silvio Coucci scored his first Futurity victory. As usual the smart little Italian jockey gave the colt magnificent ride without resorting to the whip. Couc- ci is known as a hand rider" He has way of getting all the horse can give by simply whispering words of encouragement into his mounts ear Whatever his system is, it was certainly effective when it made Tintagel forget his fading habit of the past and step out with courage and endurance in the final furlong.
 Coucci's success without the whip provoked considerable discussion as to just how Red Rain might have fared under the same sort of ride. The Whitney colt finished tenth un- der a most punishing whip-ride by Sonny Workman. Some insisted the colt sulked and had to be driven, while other, contended that Red Rain did not sulk until he felt the sting of the whip. He broke fairly well. but lost ground after the first furlong.
 Most likely Workman's ride had lit- tie to do with the juveniles poor showing. It was well known that the colt was suffering from a sore heel when he went to the post And then. too, Red Rain Showed a particular

NELSON BEERS TO
 PLACE PWA BONDS

Nelson I. Beers, engineer and ar- chitect of the firm Stratton and Beers, Juneau, has been authorized to place PWA bonds for public im- provements in both Petersburg and Seward, he revealed today.
 Both projects have received PWA approval and government money will be forthcoming as. soon as the legal formalities have been complied with in regard to bond issues.
 tgThe Petersburg improvements call for removal of the wooden decking of streets and sidewalks, surfacing of streets, and building of concrete side walks.
 The Seward improvements are spe- officially for the installation of water works, but provide also for removal of wooden decking and surfacing of Main Street.
 MT. Beers said that there was a possibility that Cordova and Valdez would take similar action in the next month.

Just because Red Rain failed mis- erably in his last two starts it should not be concluded that he is just an ordinary colt. No one who saw him stage his magnificent dash in the Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga when he came from sixteenth place in the home stretch to win scraping the rail will admit that the picture colt will not be leading factor in the race for three -year-old honors next sea- son.
 While there is no outstanding champion among the two-year-olds Of the present season there is plenty of class in the juvenile group.
 In addition to Tintagel, the. Flu turity winner, there are Shark, Cold stream, Jean Bart, Hollywood, Gran vile, Sun Teddy, Crossbow, Bien Joli. Canister. Red Rain and Ned Reign. That group at least rates on an equal footing with the juvenile class of 1884. Time will tell.

BUREAU MAKES BERNER'S BAY
 ROAD SURVEY
Swartz Reports on Possi- bility of Highway
 to Echo Cove

F. E. Swartz, locating engineer for the Bureau of Public Roads, has re- gently completed location survey IA miles in length between the present terminus of the Glacier Highway at Eagle River and Echo Cove on the south arm of Berner's Bay, the dis trict office of the Bureau reports.
 This survey was made to determine the feasibility of the route and, by design and estimate, the possible costs of construction. Design and plans are not complete but the survey indicates that at least four extensive bridge structures will be required in addition to the usual grading and surfacing, and these structures will undoubtedly aid materially in the probable cost of the route.
 Enoromus Cost
 A reconnaissance beyond Echo Cove around the head of Berner's Bay in dicates that construction of high way over this section would be made prohibitive by the enormous costs which would be involved. The coun- try is very rugged, with precipitous rock bluffs and slides, and several large and practically unbridgable glacial streams are encountered.
 The deep indentation Of Berner's Bay into the mainland would require a mileage and initial cost not justi- fled by any apparent use which could result from highway construc- ton, even though an active mining community might be developed north of Berner's Bay. The terminus at Echo Cove was selected, therefore, as being the most desirable small boat anchorage and landing. How ever, terminus at any point on the south side of Berner'a Bay would re- quire a 10 mile water connection across the bay to the Jualin mine dock on the north side and an 18 mile water connection through the open waters of Lynn Canal to the dock of the Kensington properties at Comet on Lynn Canal
 Will Compile Figures
 The Bureau officials stated that a complete design and estimate of the probable cost of the section sur veyed would be made during the present winter in order that it might be considered on cost basis in the preparation of future road programs. It was further stated that funds are not available for immediate consid- eration of this work and no definite time for such consideration can now be determined.
