League Line
For Bowling
Talk of Tri-City League
Dismissed At Present,
Said Secretary

Diminishing talk of a tri-city
league in the face of more immin-
ent local organization, the Sank
Centre Bowling Association in it's
second meeting Tuesday evening
was assured of 16 tentative team
lineups and their sponsors for two
mems handicap leagues, with sched-
uled opening for league play less
than two weeks away.
There was some talk of a tri-
city, or inter-city group, Bernard
Schoenhoff, association secretary,
said Wednesday, but it was dis
missed at this time as impractic-
able. There's just a possibility that
one or two teams may seek entry
in Melrose league"
Previous talk on the inter-city
setup had included Osakis, Long
Prairie, Sank Centre and Melrose
teams in an extra-curricular league.
1t was not however dismissed en-
tirely from minds of the more than
30 bowlers who attended the meet
ing.
With mems setup at least
tentatively arranged and wait
ing only q meeting of associa-
ton officers to arrange league
schedules, the association will
proceed with organization of q
wOmen's league. A meeting for
women interested will be held
at Kegler's Klub, renamed from
Bowling Center, this evening,
Thursday, at 500 p. m.
It was announced that league
play for men will start September
23rd with a 28-week schedule set
up. 1t was decided to skip one
weeks play during hunting season
and two others at the Christmas
holidays. The group voted spon-
sors fees and fees Of the team
players.
A foul man will be on hand at
all league play to call fouls, and
young fellows Of about high school
age, who wish to be considered for
the job, are asked to leave their
names with Bernard Schoenhoff.
Last week the association organ
lied so that entry may be made In
the American Bowling Congress
tournament at st. Paul this year.
It was announced that men with
five high averages will be send to
the ABC meet. Officers for the
group are: Irv Nelson, president;
Lloyd Blycker, list vice president;
Art Borgmann, End vice president;
Ted Wurst, Greenwald, Bird vice
president; Bill Benson, 4th vice
president; Bernard Schoenhoff, sec
rotary, and Ed Nathe, treasurer.

Daniel Boone Dawson

Daniel Boone Dawson was
born at Sissionville, Poca district,
in Kanawha county on Septem-
Der IL 1897. and from the modest
beginnings Of his existence rose
gradually to a position of great
prominence, not only in his
county's affairs, but in the af-
fairs of the state and it's capital
city Charleston.
After attending schools in SIS
sionville, the future mayor of
Charleston came to Charleston
high school and graduated from
there in 1917-in time to enlist
in the United States army. In
1918, slightly more than a year
from the date Of his graduation
from harleeton high, he was out
of the army by virtue of the
Armistice and had gone to work
in the coal fields of Logan Co.
While there, he became fami-
lar with the problems of the

Keep Out of War!

1t is imperative that nothing
be permitted to unsteady the
judgment of the American peo-
ple or their leaders in dealing
with the delicate issues raised
by the European conflict.
Under existing Circumstance
es, there are compelling reasons
why Americans, regardless of
party should support every eff
fort consistent with our nation
al security and the safeguarding
of our liberty and welfare as a
people, to keep the United States
out of war.
We are still suffering from the
after-effects of our involvement
in the World War. Our plunging
into this war would far more
seriously affect our future as a
nation. The decision that now
confronts us is graver in it's i'm
plications thar. the decision that
confronted us in 1917, because
cur own internal situation is
radically different.
We entered the World War III
1917 with our domestic affairs
i'm good condition. The income of
our people was mt unduly bur-
dened by taXatin. The nation
al debt was negligible. The
federal credit was not under
strain. There was no reason to
question the survival of either
our economic system of free
enterprise or our political sys-
tenn of representative self-gov-,
ernment. And the Wilson leader
ship under which we entered the
war was so ur1ualifedly COM
mitted to the principles of demo-
cratic self-government and free
enterprise that there was no
reason fearing giving it the
fullest war powers and no reas-
on to doubt that it would willing
Iy relinquish its emergency
controls over American life and
enterprise at the end Of the war.

The famous Cousin Abe"
Lilly has announced that he is
a candidate for delegate to the
Philadelphia Republican conven-
ton. From the size of the Lilly
family we think he is assured
of the post, once the word gets
around that Cousin Abe" wants
the position, not only because
of his popularity, but for the add
ed public knowledge he knows
his way around is of unquestion
ed competency and is a real
believer in the American way of
life and can be depended upon
to do what he can to nominate
the sort of men who will bring
us back to our former course
from New Deal following one

from its behavior we are begin

laboring man and worked long
enough to finance part of his edu
cation in the law school at
Washington and Lee university.
Tire years later he had gradual
ed with his LIB and returned
to his native county to practice
his profession in Charleston,
just then on the verge of it's
great Industrial and economic
development.
His first public honor came co
him in 1881 when he was chosen
Judge of the municipal court.
For four years he handled the
hundreds of cases that came be-
fore him with such wisdom, just
ice and understanding that he
became known throughout the
state as an able member of the
lower bench.
At the end of his term as Judge
he was called upon to become
the Republican candidate for
mayor. After winning the nomi-
nation Judge Dawson, in April,
1885, became Mayor Dawson
after piling up a majority of
1886 votes over his opponent.
1t was the era of public i'm
provements for Charleston.
Taking advantage of federal
grants for public improvements
Mayor Dawson soon had under
way the most ambitious pro-
gram of public improvements in
the city's history. A new boule-
ward was projected for the river
front of the city, two new low
cost housing developments were
obtained, at least three bridges
were built, the fire department
was expanded and it's already
excellent service improved, and
throughout it all, the munich
pal budget was gradually put in
to balance after having been un-
balanced during previous adj
ministrations.
The chief executive realized
that Charleston's vital need
during his term of office was the
acquisition of public works that
could provide the city plant with
facilities to match the superb in
dustrial development of Charles
ton and the Kanawha Valley.
With most of his projects un-
derway by 1889 Mayor Dawson
found his term at an end. Fear
full that his successor might not
have sufficient breadth to under

For all the years since eman-
citation and citizenship, Negroes
have waited and hoped that
some day the law would rise in
its dignity and require the bal
lot be theirs too. Now when they
are struggling through to it by
ways OF their own devising,
comes this official policy which
makes them pariahs in the land
of their birth, not for crime; or
lack of merit, but solely be-
cause of being born Negro.
The Roosevelt administration
has in its official family a num-
Der of Negroes. In the campaign
these men and women will be
willing to call attention to their
positions as reason why their
people should vote for continu-
ance of the present control. Since
they cannot deny the facts
Rivers charges only that which
everyone knows is true-these
Negro sponsors of the New
Deal have only one choice. THEY
MUST MAKE THE ADMINIS-
TRATION TEAR DOWN Sc

for a Negro in the Housing Adj
ministration or in the National
Youth Administration being limit
ed to serving his own people,
than for a Negro in the postal
service being permitted to deliv-
er letters only to Negroes. Sc
gregation always has and always
will lead to limitation.
Neither the Constitution nor
