THE UNHAPPY JUMP FROM
RAGS TO RICHES

ONCE there was a happy-go-
~ lucky Hobo who went whis-
Ting along a Country Lane. He was
bearing down on smiling Village
and was rehearsing hard luck and
weeping Narrative which he hoped
to exchange for a Hand-Out.
He had nothing to fret about, did
Bill the Bo. The Income Tex had
never thrown a Shadow across his
Life. Rent Day held no Terrors for
him. He did not have to hurry so
as to be somewhere at a Certain
Time. All he had to do was loiter
along the Highways and cadge long,
luxurious Rides in upholstered Mo
tor Cars and sleep in fragrant Hay
Mows and eat Home Cooking at
Back Doors and panhandle ciga-
rettes from the Farm Hands. Soft
is the Word.
Il Is true that Society and his re-
Spectacle Relations considered him
Derelict, a Wastrel, a Sad Exam
pie and one of the Dregs. Bill did
not care a Hoot. He was for the
Free Life and the Open Road. He
knew that he was Intellectually SUI
perior to his kin because he had SO
much more time for Reading than
they had.
AS he scuffed along a dusty Path
he saw a printed Card lying on the
Ground. 1t was quite an Effort to
stoop over and pick it up but he
took Chance, hoping that it might
turn out to be a Meal Ticket. In
stead Of which it was good for one
Chance on a Flivver which was be-
ing ratified off by the Legion Boys,
in conjunction with a big Street
Carnival.
Bill checked in at the Public
Square just as the Commander was
drawing out the Numbers. When
the Prize Winner was announced
and there were loud cries for the
Lucky Holder to come forward, Bill
took another peek at the soiled
Pasteboard in his Mitt and could
hardly believe his Eyes, for il
seemed that at last he had come in
to some Property. and was the Own
er Of Lizzie.
In a few Minutes he was stand
ing alongside OF the shiny auto, try
ing to figure how many Hamburgers
he could get for it, when flip In
dividual approached him and made
a tempting Proposition. He said
that invariably there was a Tide in
the Affairs of Every Man which,
taken at the Flood, leads on to For
tune. Abandoned, all the Rest OF
the Life sentence is bound in Shall
lows and in Misery and he will not
have one Dollar to rub against an
other. So the only Thing for Bill
to do was to trade the Henry for
10000 Shares Of the Ballyhoo Oil
Company, a local Corporation
which was down 5000 feet and mo
mentarily expecting to produce
| great Results.

Senator Bailey Seconds Roosevelt's
Nomination For North CaroGnians

CONVENTION HALL, Philadel-
phia, June 81. (UP).-President
Roosevelt was renominated early
today by impatient delegates to
the Democratic national conven-
ton, who brushed aside the for
mality Of a ballot and named him
by reclamation.
The business for which the dele
gates travelled thousands of miles
was accomplished at the end of
long, hot session of the conven-
ton devoted to persons from each
state in the union who seconded
Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination.
Yesterday afternoon a school
boy friend of the president
Judge John E. Mack of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y.-had placed the
presidents name in nomination as
a defender of the faith Of the
common people," Delegates re-
sponded to that with a Commute
demonstration and then came
back to ratify the choice they had
made before they started for
Philadelphia.
The reply came up like thunder,
rolling in from the balconies where
no delegates were sitting and
from the floor where the benches
were only half full.
GOVERNOR BERRY MOVES
FOR VOTE BY ACCLAIM
To a sunburned man from the
prairies of the northwest, Gov.
Tom Berry of South Dakota, went
the honor of moving that the con-
vention dispose of formal ballot
and put Mr.. Roosevelt into the
presidential race by acclamatlon'
81 move," he shouted, in a
homely, twangy voice that went
bounding out through the loud
speakers, "that this convention
suspend the rules of business
and declare Franklin D. Roosevelt
to be renominated by acclama'
ton"
"Wham! Went the diversified
gavel in the hand of Sen. JOSEPH
T. Robinson, convention chair
man, who then shouted:
"You have heard the motion to
suspend the rules. All who are in
favor will signify by saying
AYE" ,r

Roosevelt to be the nominee OF
this convention by reclamation,

[N DEAL RAILROAD PENSION
SCHEME AGAIN OUTLAWED

levied upon railroads an excise
tax of 3 1-2 per cent "of the COM
pensation not in excess of $50 per
month paid to its employees" work
ers would pay a 3 1-2 per cent
income tax upon their wages not
in excess of $500 per month. The
money thus collected would go
into a pension fund. The second
act established the retirement sys-
tenn for employees at 65, with pen
sions ranging up to S12O per
month.
Justice Bailey held the taxing
act unconstitutional because II
the effect of the two acts is taken
together, the taxing act was not
intended to provide for the ex-
penses of government but solely
for a purpose which the u. S. SUI
preme court has held not to be
within the domain of the federal
government -.

POLAND HALTS
DEBT PAYMENT

WARSAW. June 27. (UP)-
Poland has suspended payment of
all foreign debts and interest, it
was announced officially last
night.
Suspension was made on the
grounds that trade and currency
restrictions of other countries
caused great difficulties to Polish
foreign trade, and led to the
sinking of Polish foreign currency
reserves to $70,000,000.
Government payment Of for
eign loans now must occur
through blocked accounts in the
Bank of Poland. A communique
said conversations will be opened
with creditors.
Meanwhile, both chambers of
parliament granted the president
of the republic full powers to gov
ern financial, political and mill
tary matters until parliament re-
meets in the fall.

WASHINGTON, June 81. (UP)
A relief weapon in the form of a
crop insurance program was prom
ised by administration leaders yes
terday to farmers beset by natural
calamities such as the drought and
grasshopper plague now affecting
mid-western areas.
Although the Democratic plat
form made no mention of it. the
program, it was learned, will be
definitely offered this fall in con-
junction with the 1887 soil con-
servation program.
Officials said the proposed in
surance would be financed by de-
Quoting from payments going to
farmers as benefits under. the
soil conservation program. Con-
sequently, crop growers co-operat-
ing in the program would be guar
anteed returns even though their
crops were destroyed by nature.
