the constitution. Of course, 1t is
understood that it is the national
constitution that is being spoken Of.
But little is heard of the state con-
stitution. But we operate under 1t
just the same. Did you, though, un-
derstand that there were proposals
for changing it this fall? Do you
know what the proposed changes
are? Do you know how the changes
will affect your welfare or the con-
duct of your business, whether
farming or mercantile? Would you
like to see the proposed changes
made, or are you satisfied to strug-

which you are more or less famil-

find out about the proposed
changes? Are they special privilege

Have you registered so that you can
express your opinion on the matter
at the polls?

LEMKE FACTOR

LEMKE FACTOR
It is no secret that the Lemke
candidacy will hurt President
Roosevelt more than it will hurt
Landon. First poll on the subject
indicates that Lemke will take about
eight votes from the President for
every two he takes from the Repub-
lican nominee.
Also, the first authoritative poll
on the present standing of the cand-
idates (the Institute of Public OPP
inion polly points to an exceedingly
close election. Governor Landon
was slightly ahead in electoral votes
President Roosevelt slightly ahead
in the popular vote. A great many
states were in the exceedingly
doubtful class.
Key states are apt to be New
York and Pennsylvania. The Demo-
cratic ticket has been strengthened
In the former by the decision OF
Governor Lehman to run again. And
in the latter, the state administra-
ton is democratic-the first in de-
cades. Both parties will pour plen-
ty of money and oratory into these
vitality important territories, and it
seems a certainty that the candl-
date who carries them will be the
next President.

Mother and Dorathea had the
evening paper spread out on the
table. They barely looked up as
she came in.
"stewey Parker dead-I can't
believe It'll" Mother was saying.
Jan said-"Oh! What hap
pened?"
Dorathea looked very pale, and
a little sick. "Stewey Parker ran
off with this girl-she's a dancer
or something in burlesque show
The police found them today. They
were both dead. He must have
shot her, and then himself. I wish
Bennie were here, feel so sick!'
But why did he-oh! isn't that
awful? Why did he do it?"

sides, nobody knows. Oh, don't
bother me - don't bother me!
Can't you see I'm tired"
Christmas fell on Monday that
year, and as late as Friday none
of the Faileys had decided how to
celebrate it.
For the last two years+since
grandmother's death-the family
dinner had been at Peters, the
Sea Cliff house, decorously deco
rated, blue and silver lights on the
tall tree near the windows, roses
and red candles in the silver can
delabra on the long oak table
around which they gathered for
the elaborate 8 o'clock dinner.
It wasn't very festive. They just
sat around in Caroline's high
backed, authentic Spa nj S h"
chairs, trying to be comfortable,
with conversation limping along
until Peters cocktails began to
take effect.
Caroline always wore something
new and stunning, and it was
always hard on Edith and Evelyn
to have to inspect and exclaim
over Caroline's and Ardis' presents,
and hear Peter tell how much they
cost.
Still it was some place to go,
and something to do-a proper
family gathering on day that's
meant for family gatherings. And
in the end, they'd all enjoyed them,
selves in their own way.
Edith and the three older girls
usually ate themselves into state
of somnambulant bliss, and Ardis
and Jan had invariably retired to
ArdiS' cozy room on the second
floor, and given themselves up to a
long, lazy evening. gossiping and
yawning over detective stories, OF
which Ards had an immense col
lection. But Evelyn and Ellery
and Peter grew pleasantly remi-
niscent and glowing over the
brandy that Peter pressed upon
them all.
But this year Peter had an
apartment. Hes living alone,
you know" Evelyn always said
with a quirk of the eyebrow that
meant she didn't think he was.
And though Ardis and Caroline
had moved back to the Sea Cliff
house, they lived in a haphazard,
bachelor fashion, with only a JAP
anese school boy to replace the
staff of trained servants Peter had
kept.
Evelyn'S broad hints that Peter
take her and the three girls to
dinner somewhere pleased him at
first, because he liked the idea Of
taking ArdiS away from Caroline.
But later he said be WAS sorry. but

he didn't think it would work out
very well.
HE means he can't leave Miss
Dunne!" Evelyn said with a sn1tt.
David disappointed her, too.
In the good old days, the days
of the Faileys' prime, he had often
been a guest at the Mill Valley
house. It had been very gay, and
old fashioned. A big Christmas
tree, with tinsel and a star at the
top, bright ornaments of every
color, and Christmas tree candles
that all Of them loved.
Talking about it, David grew
happy and boyish again, but even
in that softened mood, Evelyn
couldn't talk him into a Christmas
celebration. He insisted that he

LATIMER CHAMPIONS
TOWNSEND

Whether DR.. Townsend will
ever appreciate, much less hear
about Mayor Latimer' defense
of him, will probably never be
known, but the mayor, in a
speech before l, 900 members and
delegates of the Townsend move
ment who attended a rally in
the hippodrome at the state fair
grounds, blathered:
considering the billions of
dollars that august body, con-
gress, has sent to Europe at one
time or another, it seems odd, to
say the least, that congress
should investigate the record OF
a man who is trying to bring Sc
curity to the aged"
1t might seem odd to the may
or, also, why the authorities
have bothered to investigate the
man who instigated the recent
sDrake'' swindle. The Drake
fortune was a myth, circulated

fcials, that they figured the little
matter of toting concealed weap-
ons of lethal nature was some
thing no copper would dare

ever, have proved them wrong.
During the strikes 574 thought,
because the police were neutral,
the harness boys were afraid of
them. The way the local gend-
armerie have been handcuffed by
orders from higher-ups, one can
hardly blame 574 for having that
impression. The, detective who
nabbed Frosig, however, didn't
have any orders, and he did his
duty, much to 574's astonishmeM
and hurt.
574's establishment and hurt
nearly turned into an apoplectic
fit when the police raided their
booze hall at 574 headquarters,
where a bar had been operating
without license. That bar had

If they make bed of nails, let
them get stuck on it. The state
law calls for six months in pris-
on for Frosig, on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons. The
courts would almost invariably
mete out that punishment to an
ordinary citizen; so why not to
an official of an organization
which has caused all the labor
disturbances and rioting in this
city?

CENSORSHIP

R. R. Barlow, associate pro-
fessor of journalism at the uni
versity of Illinois, who has
just returned from Europe after
a six months trip studying Euro
pean newspapers, says mental
fog is enveloping millions of men
and women in Europe through
censorship of news. Censorship,
he says, has produced tyranny,
war and international discord.
Barlow needn't have travelled
all the way to Europe to discover
a mental fog enveloping millions
of men and women through CEN
sorship; he could have found
states in this union, such as Min
nesota, who are under self
inflicted censorship. There are
thousands of men and women IN
Minnesota enveloped in a men
tai fog regarding politics and
Communists in this state. The
only really frank, outspoken
newspaper in the state, the Sat-
urday Press, unfortunately hasn't
the means to reach and enlighten
but a few of them.

1t happened last Wednesday.
Vice-President of Local 574,
George Frosig, was ambling
along Marquette when suddenly
he spied several men whom he
later said had slugged him the
week before. Whipping out a
revolver, Frosig was just about
to charge when a city detective
hove into the scene. Frosig
scooted up an alley, tossing his
gun into an ash can as he ran.
The detective shouted a warning,
then fired a shot, over the fugi-
tiye's head. Frosig dug in his
heels and slid to a precipitous
halt, and dejectedly returned to
let the detective lead him away
to the courthouse where present
ly he was released on 500 dollar
bail, and his case set for trial
June A..
Not many hours later, police
raided 574 headquarters on Ply
mouth avenue, seized two barrels
of beer and bartender Axel Berg,
who was charged with selling
beer without a permit. Berg was
released on 200 dollar bail, and
his trial set for June 4.
There is no doubt whatsoever
but that the feelings of 574 have
been grievously hurt by this con-
duct of the police, and 574 is
asking what is the world coming
to; there just amt no justice
any more.
In regards to George Frosig
the argument that he needed
weapon for his defense has been
advanced, which is the plea the
vice-president's lawyer will use
in court. About week ago Fro
sig was slugged in the Omaha
freight yard. Vincent Dunno
having also been slugged, both
Frosig and Dunno applied for re
volver permits-a publicity ges
ture, since both knew pistol per

citizens unless they are made
