In Turn Of Republican
Rood EmpIoye Pressure
BY MILTON TABOR,

TOPEKA, Kans., Oct. 19.-Wal-
ter Fees, Republican State chair
man, has filed with the Gillette
Committee to Investigate Election
Activities q complaint against the
manner in which the Democrats
are collecting campaign funds in
Kansas. He claims that the Hatch
Act is being violated by Lynn r.
Brodrick, Democratic national COM
mitteeman, and by Henry D. Park
inson, chairman of the Kansas
division Of the National Commit
tee for Agriculture.
The Republicans say they have
photostatic copies Of letters Mr..
Brodrick wrote to employees of the
A. A. A. State ohlce in Manhattan
soliciting contributions of $40 each
at the lowest, with Suggestions that
more would be gratefully received.
Chairman Fees told the Gillette
committee In 4 letter that depart
ment heads in the A. A. A. ONCE
had told the girls that they would
contribute If they appreciated
their jobs"
Mr.. Brodrick stated to newspaper
men that he was soliciting funds
from Federal employees and that if
he missed any list 1t was not his
fault To each letter he added this
postscript: "As to the Hatch Act
legal opinions from recognized au-
thorities hold that any person not
on or eligible for relief may con-
tribute to any party organization
without violation of the law" Mr.
Brodrick asserted that the So
icitation over Kansas was approved
by Sol Rosenblatt, general counsel
of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
simultaneously with these dis
closures 1t was learned that Mr..
Parkinson mailed letters to county
agents, county and township soil
conservation committees and to
many farmers asking them to con-
tribute to the Democratic cam
paign funds.

Senate Election Probe
Gives New Jersey
6. 0.P. New Impetus
Close Election Expected;
Booming Comden Is
Democratic Strong Spot
BY EDWARD M. GILROY,
special CORRESPONDENT Of The Star.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. ia
Senate investigation Of New Jersey
election conditions, particularly In
the Democratic stronghold Of Hud-
son County, has given new impetus
to the Republican State campaign.
The Republicans appear to have q
slight margin in the State, but .
close election Is expected by leaders
of both major parties.
A subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Campaign Expend-
itures came into the State in time
to revive the principal Republican
campaign issue-burning Of the 1886
and 1887 Jersey City poll books -
they were sought by Republican
election omcials to compare sigma
lures.
Republicans are counting on Sen
ator Tobey, Republican Of New
Hampshire, to air general charges
Of corrupt voting practices by Mayor
Frank Hague's Democratic machine.
Democratic leaders are convinced
from opening sessions Of the probe
that Senator Adams. Democrat Of
Colorado, chairman Of the sub-com.
mittee, will not permit 1t to de.
velop into a ne-sided Republican
attack on the Democratic organi-
zAtion.
Senator Adams declared the COM
mittee had sent Investigators to
three Republican counties, Atlantic,
Ocean and Gloucester, home of the
Republican nominee for governor,
State Senator Robert c. Hendrick-
son. Thus, If the charges Of fraud
ulent registrations In Hudson are
not borne out, there is q possibility
the investigation may boomerang
into Q Democratic advantage. 1t is
known the Democrats have fur
nished the committee with court
records of the 1887 Cape May State
Senate campaign scandal, in which
q fraudulent Republican election
meant control Of the State Senate.
Republican leaders are 50 encour-
aged by the favorable reaction to
Wendell L. WILKES North Jersey
tour that they are beseechins the
national management to book one
in South Jersey. Camden, where
the shipyards are working overtime
shifts on the national defense pro-
gram, is recognized by the Republic
cans Is their weakest spot. and they
feel that Mr.. Wil1kie's appearance
there might turn the tide. Once
Z Republican banner county, Cam
den piled up $1,000 plurality for
President Roosevelt in 1895, and
there are indications his margin
may 30 to 10000 unless conditions
change.
Democratic leaders concede Re-
publican gains, but predict they will
not be sufficient to upset the 364,-
900 Roosevelt margin Of four years
ago. Outside Mayor Hague's Hud-
son stronghold they say they win be
satisfed to win by $1,000 to 5000,
They see no indication Of . Roose-
welt landslide.

Any Michigan Change
In House Seats Likely
To Favor Democrats
They Have Chance
To Capture Five While
Losing Only One
BY H. C. GARRISON,


DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 19.-If the
November election makes any change
in Michigan's present lineup in the
House, the probabilities are that 1t
will favor the Democrats.
The Michigan House delegation
now stands at IL Republicans and S
Democrats. Observers give the Re-
publicans a chance to capture only
one new House seat, that In the 18th
district Detroit) now held by
Representative Dingell, Democrat.
Even in this one district, the Re-
publican prospects are none too
rosy.
On the other hand. the Democrats
are given a chance to win five seats
now held by Republicans In the
5th district, Representative Jonk-
man. Republican. of Grand Rapids.
elected to the vacancy created by
the death of the able Representative
Mapes. is getting strong challenge
from Democrat Garrett Heyns, also
Of Grand Rapids.
Engel Has Stiff Fight.
Representative Engel, Republican,
of Muskegon is getting stiff competi-
ton from his Democratic opponent,
Noel p. Fox. also from Muskegon.
In the 11th district, which straddles
the Straits of Mackinac and contains
seven counties in the Democratic
upper peninsula and nine normally
Republican counties in the lower,
Representative Bradley. Republican,
Of Rogers City, is having hard
fight with Wendell L. Lund of Esca-
naba, Democrat.
The see-saw battle between Repre-
sentative Mcleod. Republican, and
former Representative OBrien,
Democrat, in the 18th district de-
troit, is continuing this year. Mr..
O'Brien beat Mr.. Mcleod in 1896
Mr.. Mcleod beat Mr.. O'Brien in
1898. Now Mr.. O'Brien is trying to
turn the tables on him and has q
good chance to do it.
In the 9Th district there is large
industrial area with a heavy Demo-
cratic vote, including the cities of
Flint and Lansing, which spells
danger to Representative Blackney,
Republican. of Flint although his
Democratic opponent is not consid-
cred a particularly strong candidate.
Some Are Out Of Danger.
Representatives Michener, of
Adrian; Shafer. of Battle Greek; /;
Hoffman, of Allegan; Wolcott, OF
Port Huron: Crawford, Of Saginaw;
Woodruff, of Bay City, and Dondero,
of Royal Oak, all Republicans. and
Representatives Tenerowicz Of Ham,
tramck; Rabaut, of Crosse Pointe
Park, and Lesinski, of Dearborn,
Democrats, are considered out of
danger by most observers.
Politicians do not give the young
and untried Frank FITZGERALD, Of
Detroit, even with his labor back
ing, more than an outside chance to
defeat the veteran Republican Sem
ator Vandenberg. They expect Sen
ator Vandenberg to run well ahead
Of his ticket. -..

EMOTIONAL ENERGY

Our training Of children is largely
matter Of trying to turn the energy
aroused by all the new and complicated
situations in which they 2-c constantly
finding themselves, into profitable out
let's, and Of helping them to discrim-
mate between times when it is useful
or useless to feel emotion. The first
times a child tries TO feed itself, the
first few times he plays with other
children, his many new experiences
when he goes to school, when he learns
70 swim, all these are occasions likely
to arouse emotions. And if wrong ways
Of meeting the new experiences takes
place, the child is On the way to the
formation CT a habit, a poor habit,
that will get in his way and trip him up
Emotion is given us, it seems pretty
conclusive, to help Us out Of difficulties.
But if cur emotion is too strong it
ceases to be help, and becomes a
hindrance. The child who is so fright
ened that he cannot run is case in
point, as well as the person who
trembles so with rage that he cannot
think clearly.
If we let a child run into too many
emergency situations, he may easily

acquire unskIlful ways Of meeting
them, because Of his confusion and
tension. He may meet these situations
with only partial success; if so, his
problem is far from being permanently
solved. A little boy is living with a
number Of groWnups, whose VagarieS
subject him to any number of novel
situations. Grandpa likes to trot him
on his knee-but what happens when
grandpa is heatedly discussing politics
with crony, and little Dick wants him
to play, or mother lets him hold the
telephone receiver and say hello" to
next time he tries it, she
frowns and says, mo, mol run away,

when he feels emotionally tense grows,
but unless he is carefully handled, his
ability to meet these feelings of tension
doesn't improve. That's why we see
SO many angelic looking children who
are already SO welI-trained in how to

To avoid such results, we should try
to make the environment surrounding

by making his early years a bed Of
roses, where no thorns prick, we can
keep in mind that we need to consider

give him toys that are beyond his
ability to cope with, We may expect

thing happen often, and all the child
knows how TO do is to expect defeat.

Ely May Submit Claim for
Contagious Disease F unds
Could Collect Half Of Cost
From County; Claim Last
Filed In 1892.

The city Of Ely is compiling a claim
for expense Of contagious disease con-
trol here for the past six years and il
may be submitted 70 the st. Louis
county commissioners if the council
decides to 10 so, according to informa-
ton obtained from the Office of Clerk
A. o. KEutson.
Under state law the county is liable
for half the cost Of controlling COM
municable diseases in each city Of the
county. Duluth has a bill for 81 700
for January and February pending with
the board which has started anew a
fight by range commissioners to block
payment to the city because no other
municipalities have received anything.
Leading the fight is Commissioner
Jacob l. Pete, who with Joseph L.
Kraker, Virginia, has held that if
Duluth receives half the cost of con-
trolling contagious disease, other cities
should share likewise.
A number of commissioners, includ-
ing Pete, have demanded that the
T. B. patients from Duluth at No
peming, which would mean that
against the city's claim for s1,700 would
be charged half the cost of tuberculosis
service.
This might mean that Duluth, or
other cities on the range, who submit
claims, would be owing the county
money or at least have their claims
reduced considerably. No comparative
figures have been compiled, however.
Whether or not the county could make
this provision stick has not been de-
termined.
Ely last filed a claim in the fall Of
1882, but it has never been officially
notified as to what happened to it,
Clerk Knutson reports.
The city asked for S16,181.53, half Of
the amount it contended was spent here
for the control Of disease for the
period Of Sept. l, 1926 to Sept. l, 1892.
The status Of this claim now is prob
lematical, but 1t is believed that it
would be disallowed, as was the case
with similar claims of Duluth, if
brought to the fore again
With the exception of Duluth, nc
other city in the county has filed
claims with the board in recent years.
Pete states, although they have been
eligible for half the cost OF contagious
disease control. The board, upon mo-
ton Of the Fourth district commissioner,
went On record SIS having no funds
available with which to meet Duluth's
most recent claim, so technically at
least has not refused to pay it. Dis
allowing it would open the way for
district court action, a course taken
once before by Duluth which brought
a settlement out of court.
Pete states that his position has been
that if Duluth is to receive anything,
then other cities should also receive
consideration. He has urged that the
city Of Ely submit claim for funds
to which it is rightfully entitled.

St. Louis County Could Obtain
$26,692 Annually From
Proposed Law.

| If the Colmer- Harrison bill, now be-
fore congress, were enacted into law,
st. Louis county would receive s26,692
income from federally owned forest
lands that now do not produce a cent
Of revenue. Representatives Of eight
northern Minnesota counties conferred
on the proposed piece Of legislation last
week in Duluth and instigated a move
ment to obtain support for it.
Whatever funds could be realized
from the bill would go to the county,
Commissioner Jacob l. Pete has in
formed The Miner, since the land in
question is included in no other taxing
district
Cook county would receive So, 4I2
and Lake, s18,521. There are 4OI
counties in the country that would be
eligible for payments.
Under provisions of the bill the fed
eral government would pay annually 10
counties per cent Of the purchase
price Of land acquired for forest pur-
poses. In st. Louis, Cook and Lake
counties the purchase Of forest lands
by the government has removed thOus-
ands Of acres from the tax rolls, and
in the case of Cook and Lake counties,
especially, has created a problem for
the county governments concerned.
E. B. Chapman, Cook county at
torney, states that Of 100000 acres in
the county, $4,000 are owned by the
government, the Duluth Naws-Tribuae
reports.
At the present time the government
has an agreement whereby counties
are paid Is per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts from forest timber sales, but
this plan has not proved very profit
able. In the case OF Lake county IL
has amounted to s495 yearly for SIX
years, and in Cook county It totaled
1000 for six years.
Arthur Lampe, st. Louis county
schools superintendent, said that event
ually so per cent of the 107 unorganized
townships in the county would be on
federal forest lands. Approximately IS
townships will have to bear the tax
load for the entire schools system.
He pointed to the dropping valuation.
In 1922 the value was 100000 Tc-
day it has dropped TO 100000.
About 1,377,00 acres of the Superior
and Chippewa National Forests would
be concerned in the provisions Of the
bill, since they were acquired by pur-
chase
