FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1889.
FOR REFUGEE CHILDREN

Another wagner BILL" more cor
rectly Wagner Rogers joint resolu-
tion is before Congress. 1t ought to
pass. What Senator Wagner has done
for American labor is known to all;
but this is something different. 1t is
resolution authorizing the admis-
sion to this country of 10000 refugee
children from Germany this year and
the same number next.
Provided, that satisfactory assur-
ances are given that such children will
be supported and properly cared for
through the voluntary action of re-
sponsible citizens or responsible pro-
bate organizations of the United
States and consequently will not be-
come public charges"
The provision for such assurance is
so nearly made already that it may
be taken for granted. The Nonsec-
tartan Committee for German Refu-
gee Children and the Quaker organ
ization of the American Friends Serv-
ice Committee, which never failed
yet, are committed to it heart and
soul. Thousands of families in more
than 40 states have already offered
to receive these children; and medical
examination will insure that they are
sound in body and mind Also, they
will go to families of their own faiths.
1t is an unusual thing to do; but the
tyranny of Nazism calls for unusual
remedies. As Chester M. Wright said
when the question was laid before
him, 1--WE won't know they're here"
Twenty thousand children in two
years, cared for by guaranteed effort,
will not make a microscopic difference
in our own affairs-but the difference
it will make with the children is un-
tellable.
Labor cannot speak too strongly on
this point.

MOOSE TO BOWL In

Gunnard Shoblom, secretary of
Hamilton Lodge, No. 36, Loyal Order
of Moose, has mailed letter to all
members of the organization, inviting
them to make the trip on the special
train to the national tournament and
to Mooseheart:
On Friday night, May 5, about
10:30 p. M, special train is leaving
Hamilton bound for the Moose ma
tional tournament, which is held in
Aurora, H., this year. We have about
65 bowlers in the Moose League that
have long been looking forward to
this wonderful trip, because the fea-
ture of this trip will be a visit to
Mooseheart, which is only four miles
from Aurora. There will be no
changes from train to train on this
trip. We will pull directly into Moose
heart, Saturday morning, go through
this child city, and then on to Aurora,
where we bowl Saturday night. Dou-
bles and singles will be rolled Sunday
afternoon, returning that night to
Hamilton, arriving here about 7 a. m.
The trip has been made very reason
able SO that all that can arrange to
go can do so without great deal of
expense.
The round trip, including lunch and
refreshments on the train and hotel
accommodations for fifteen dollars
($15.00). How is that for a bargain?

WHAT NEXT?

Homes "glued together" in groups
of 10000 as a means of solving the
nations housing problem were Wis
ualized by Raymond V. Parsons, re-
search engineer, at Vale University

units would be erected in large garden
cities and would house 10000 to
100000 persons paying rents as low
as SIS month, he said. They would
be "glued together" with new resin
compound, eliminating nails.

interest in music reached new high

largest audience in the history of it's
organization offered enthusiastic sup
port to what was termed "the finest
concert the Hamilton Civic Orchestra
ever has produced"
Schubert's Unfinished Symphony,
under the skillful baton of Giovanni
Bruno, the founder and conductor of
the orchestra, drew special applause.
Bruno deserves commentator for
the feeling with which he interpreted
the many shadings of the symphony
and his superb mastery of the musi-

gertip.

you do get in a word edgewise

On the Democratic side are
do7 ems OF men who have at least
q stant chance of becoming Mr..
I Roc sevelt's successor. There is
moia material, of course, because
there are more active Democrats
nc the present time. Only one can
get the job, but let no one tell you
( that this or that man does not
have a chance. A lot of things
can happen before the elephants
ana the donkeys choose up sides
for the game. Today it appears
/ that Cordell Hull is almost out Of
the running. But, being in the
State Department these next few
months. he might become a ma
tional hero as suddenly as Lind

Wee President Garner has his
campaign well under way. Even
} now he has campaign head
quarters, complete with manager

hoo has begun. 1t surely looks
like the Texans are jumping the

The Garner-forPresident boom
might easily go the way of the
Paul McNutt furry that clustered
into the Capital City and ap
parently blew itself out several
months ago. McNutt is almost un-
heard of today. He bought his
firecrackers too early and then

1t is even possible that we shall
not have a new President at all,
but go right on having the old one.

comment indicate that Mr.. Roose-
Welt has lost ground since the last

A glance at almost any page
of the Congressional Record these
DAYS shows that politics seeps into
everything that happens on Capitol

minor appropriation, wherein poll

heard a congressman remark:
"If the roof on this Capitol were
