GAVELS 4
Officials of the Senate also do
not have any trouble in supplying
gavels to the Vice President and
the Senators who occupy the chair.
In the House, of course, they
are made by the dozens, of wood,
in a Capitol workshop.
The Senate gavel is made from
the cross section of an elephants
tusk. 1t has no handle and was
first brought to the Senate in
1889. 1t has been in use ever
since.

Two Men, Two Methods
Where Roosevelt Would Scrap the Constitu-

Constitution
81 am advised by the Attorney General of the
State and a large majority of the Judiciary Com
nuittee of the Legislative Council that under the
Constitution of our State the Legislature CAN
NOT pass valid LaIUs under lOhich the State itself
may take proper part in this public obligation

"They advise me that in order to do so our State
Constitution must be AMENDED.

of this State at the November election and WILL
RECEIVE THE APPROVAL of the electorate"
From Governor Alfred M. Landon's Social Sc
curity message to the Kansas Legislature July 7,
1885,
If there is one man in the United States who ought
to read mark and inwardy digest these words of Gov

Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst
certainly put it over on two cor
respondents. They trudged to his
office in search of a summer story.
In his flowery, gracious style, the
Senator received them and in
vited them to join him. He was
reading over several of the
speeches he had made in the
Senate.
With an audience before him,
he read them aloud. The two men
questioned him about the parole
system. He talked and they took
notes. He talked for 80 minutes.
They arose to go and thanked him
for the interview.

HOOSIER POLITICS

The Hoosier State reports a
sidelight on the bitter cam
paign for Governor out there.
There were three candidates in
the Democratic primaries-Clif.
ford Townsend, lieutenant gov
ernor, who built up strong per-
sonal following; Pleas Greenlee,
patronage secretary of the Gov
ernor, who also had opportunity
to built up a machine, and E.
Kirk Mckinney, administrator of
the Home Owners Loan, who
reached another class of voters.
In Indiana, the Townsend Plan
is going along fine. Mr.. Clifford
Townsend is not connected with
the program but the voters never
the less rallied to his banner in
number of instances, it is
stated, because of his name, and
he was nominated.

VISITORS, ATTENTION

Congress has really ADJOURNED.
Contrary to what seems to be a
popular belief the legislators do
not sit IL months out of the year.
Several secretaries in the House
Office Building report that they
get telephone calls, letters and
personal visits from persons who
expect their Representatives to
be on hand and are amazed, not
to say a great deal chagrined,
when informed that the show is
over until January and the ma
jority of the members of Con-
gress have gone to their districts
to fight for a chance to come
back,

SAYS CHINA CLIPPER
is A MAGNIFICENT PICTURE

China Clipper the new First Ma
tional production which is scheduled as
the feature attraction at the Kootenai
theatre this week, is a glamorous ro-
nance of the air, marking a milestone
in the pictorial history of daring avia-
ton
There is an exceptionally talented
cast which includes Pat O'Brien, Bev-
erly Roberts, Ross Alexander, Humph-
rey Boeart. Marie Wilson, and Henry
B. Walthall in the principal roles.
The picture treats of the daring long
distance flights of the pioneers of avia-
ton, men who gambled with death to
drive their ships through storm and fog
to make regular air service possible.
While the story itself is fictitious,
It is based. to a large extent, On the
hazardous flights of the famous China
Clipper of the Pan American Always
which not SO long ago established an
air service between Alameda, on the
Pacific Coast near San Francisco, and
the Philippine Islands.
A replica of the giant Clipper ship
was built at the First National studios
for interior scenes, while the exteriors
were taken at the air base at Alameda
with the real Clipper playing an i'm
portant part in the picture. and at the
Catalina Islands because Of its tropical
foliage.
The story is by Commander Frank
Wead. famous navy flying ace, with
William l. Van Dusan, of the Pan
American Always, serving as technical
advisor.
