far as can be seen now, are against
such a development. 1t also can be
put down for Mr.. Roosevelt.
New MeXico.-A Roosevelt State for
much the same reasons as Arizona.
The Federal and State political ma
chimes have been effective for the New
Deal here. It's another Roosevelt
State.
Colorado-Very friendly to Gov.
Landon. If the election were held
today he would carry it. Disaf1ection
among the farmers and the split in
side the Democratic party between
radicals and conservatives is aiding
the Republican cause. 1t might be
put down for Gov. Landon now.
Utah.-A Roosevelt State. 1t is pre-
dominantly New Deal because it has
been well organized and plenty Of Fed
eral money has been spent here. Put
down for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Nevada.-A close State, with Lam
don's chances rather better than they
were few weeks ago, but not yet good
enough to warrant a belief that it
will go Republican. The President
will carry it by about 5000, which is
a greatly reduced majority from 1882.
Idaho-Senator Borah won easily
his primary battle and secured more
votes than all his Democratic oppo-
nents. The Republicans are hopeful.
If Borah came out for Landon, or
rather if he could find a basis for a
convincing campaign that was affirm
atively pro-Landon as much as it
might be negatively anti-Roosevelt,
the Republican party would win the
electoral vote of Idaho. As matters
stand now, the President has the
edge here.
Wyoming.-Much improvement in
Landon's chances has been apparent
lately. Mr.. Roosevelt has been slip
ping. Senator Careys victory in the
primary showed that the Republican
voters are in the majority. 1t may
be put down as a Landon State.
Out Of this group of States, which
have 79 electoral votes, the lineup
would appear to be SO for Roosevelt
and 20 for Landon. Giving the
breaks" so to speak, to Gov. Landon,
and a whirlwind finish to his cam
paign, there is possibility Of l6 more,
making q total of SO for Landon and
43 for Roosevelt, but do not look for
any better result for the Republican
nominee.
Mr.. Landon could be elected II he
carried the East and Middle West
and only 20 or IS votes in the Far
West and Rocky Mountain regions.
Hence 1t Is important to turn ones
investigation toward the Middle West
and East, where I plan to spend the
next few weeks.

Story Of Fanttne.
Fantine, the girl of the Paris streets,
was deserted. Her baby, the little
Cosette, she left with an inkeeper's
wife. The child ate with the cat and
dog under the table. Her foster par
ents pawned her clothes for money.
And far away the mother destroyed
her beauty, sold her golden hair, sold
her lovely teeth, for more money to
send to the child. In the candlelight
Of her wretched room she smiled an
awful gaping smile from a mouth
stained with blood.
A little girl sobbed into her pillow
over the pain Of the poor and the
cold-heartedness Of mankind.
There was Javert, the man Of pro-
bity, the man of rules. He pursued
the convict like dog on the scent.
The law Is without soul. A man
expiates his wrong; he rises from the
dregs; he builds an industry; he
builds q town. He lifts the poor. He
rescues Fantine and Cosette. What
he builds up and saves the law reaches
out to destroy again.

A dictator dead; the law gone sour;

Meanness and wretchedness; poverty

Ken Strong Is Coach of
Blue Stocking Foot
Ball Eleven. y
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

THIS Fall America will see In
action its first blue stocking
foot ball team, not unlike some
OF those blooded cricket out
fits Of England. Dude ranchers blanked
the old Journeyman cowboy when it
came to such naniacal pastimes as
bulldogging steers, so it won't be sur

corous murmurS Of the stands.
Over in the Meadowbrook country
Of Long Island, the newly organized
Yankees Of the American Professional
Foot Ball League work out in the
shadow of many ancient family trees,
with the personable and grammatical
Ken Strong as their coach. After
seven years Of postgraduate milling
around in professional sports, with
quite a bit of hard luck stringing
along, Mr.. Strong gets the most gen.
teel and lucrative post in professional
foot ball. He is said to rank all other
professional coaches in salary.
AC new YORK university ne was an
all-American player in 1923, and made
the highest individual score Of the
East in that year. He was a crack base
ball, as well as foot ball, player and
was picked up by the New York
Yankees after his graduation in 1929.
He could not quite make the grade in
batting and was turned over to the
New Haven team Of the Eastern
League. (
The Detroit Tigers tried him out in
1882, but a broken wrist spoiled his
chances just then. He sued the doctor
who treated his wrist and got a judg-
ment for $4,000, but the decision
later was over-ruled by a higher
court. The wrist injury hung on, but
did not prevent Strong from making
good with the New York Giants pro-
fessional foot ball team. He tried
base ball comeback in 1885. 4

Story Told Of How Light Came

tContinued From Page One) ceased crying and commen- ced to play with the box in great glee. Gradually he dragged the box out of the house and not being closely observed, he opened the lid and at once the stars took their place in the heavens and the box was empty. The sorrow of the old man was inexpressible, but he was not able to deny his grandson. Yeshl soon after employed a similar ruse and loosed the moon which took it's place in the heav- ems. The old man grabbed at it and knocked it askeW and ever after, even at this time of months the moon sets on edge.
 At last YeShl wanted the last box, the most valuable of all, which contained the sun, but the old ruse would not work. The grandfather remained memorable. Then Yeshl began to cry and he Wept so hard that he could not eat and became serious ly ill. At last, so copious was his tears that all the mountain peaks were coV- cred with water and to save the continent from being covered with the waters the grandfather gave the box to him with
 the strict injunction not to raise the lid. But as soon as Yeshl had the box outside the lgloo he transformed l himself into a raven and flew away with it. On his
 way he heard human voices
 but could not see the peo- pie because as yet no light illumined the world.
 He questioned the people
 if they would have light. They answered, You can not give Us light;only Yeshl can give us the light of day. In order to convince the doubters Yeshl raised the lid slightly and the sun popped out. The glories of the first dawn were indes- cribably magnificent. First, a rosy flush appeared in the Far East, which frightened

Yeshl proceeded to his place with the help of his bird skin; picked up a burning brand in his bill and hurried back but the journey was so long the brand was nearly con- sumed and the point of his bill was scorched. As soon as he arrived over the earth he let fall on the shore the glowing coal that remain ed, and the sparks were scattered over both wood and pebbles.

 Fresh water was not to be found upon the islands an1 continent inhabited by the Thlinkats but on a small is- land to the westward of Sit ka, there was a well, guard ed by a Watchman named khenookn, the original an- cester of the wolf clan.
 Yeshl again employed ar tifice in obtaining the boon of fresh water. He took as much as he could in his bill and flew away over the is lands, letting a drop fall here and there. Wherever the precious drops fell there gushed forth limpid rivu- lets and streams, and where large drops fell lakes and rivers were formed.
 But the ruse employed by YeShl in stealing the water from Khenookn the Wolf, is a separate story and will be told at a later date.
