BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
: For by vie thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of
thy life shall be increased. Proverbs 9:11,
Please Help the Poor
William H. Anderson, former New York superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, who was recently paroled from
Sing Sing where he was serving sentence for filching some
$20,000 of the League's funds, has issued a pamphlet attack
ing the Dry Leadership as being responsible for the "greatest
wet victory in history" the election of Al Smith and his
own "martyrdom".
The booklet is accompanied by a letter addressed to the
"straight-thinking, dependable, militant, dry, Protestant
pastors,' who are asked for sympathy as the "League has
completely ruined me financially" because he pilfered
its funds.
The ruling passion shows strong in Anderson despite his
conviction as a thief, as in other League leaders, for the
shake-down always accompanies the uplift, the aforesaid
pastors, being urged to
(1) Send a personal contribution, as largo &s possible, but no
matter how email, to enabio me to bridge over the financial embar
rassment into which X havo been thrown since I am practically at
tho end of even my borrowing power.
(2) If you are not already a regular, paid-up subscriber, send me j
$2.00. tho regular subscription price of "THI3 FELLOWSHIP;
FOnUM"," an proof that Protestant pastors appreciate Its courage
and fidelity to Protestantism.
(3) Tell your congregation next Sunday, that you have received
and read tho amphlet from me and urge everybody to hand to you at
tho closo of the servic so you ran send for all at once, at least the
nominal sum of 25 cents for a ropy of this pamphlet. Some men
would pay $1.00 for five or $5.00 for twenty-five or $15.00 for ond
hundred copies to distribute.
If the "straight - thinking, dependable, militant dry
Protestant pastors", particularly the 100 percenters, don't
get busy and dig up or jar lose their congregations, Ander
son may have to go to work for a living and that would be a
fearful calamity for any uplifter.

way home, and evidently it got
twisted with my name, Larrabeo
though I certainly don't understand
oh well, I'm here, ullva; that's
all that matters."
"Yea, It is," I answered. I stood
there looking at him, realizing that
I loved him more than over. But I
couldn't understand his attitude,
lie strolled around the room with
out taking off his coat, lighted a
cigarette, asked about Virginia,
treated me as if I'd been someone
whom he knew Just slightly and
didn't care for particularly.
Iluw did you like tho Philip
pines?" I aakt'd finally. If he could
be casual, so could I.
"Oil, very much. Awfully hot,
but after you get used to the cli
mate it isn't bad at all. And of
eourne you get to know the other
people in tho regiment very well,
better than you do in a big post."
"I suppose you got to know Ce-
11a Katon very well lndoed!" I remarked.
I sure did, sharing the house
with her and Bill. She made us
tfi-fully comfortable certainly la a
good housekeeper, for all she looks
so helpless. Hill doesn't appreciate
her, though. In fact well, they've
.separated. Celia came home on the
transport I took. She is going to
get a divorce."
Divorce, divorce! I wished I'd
Jim's new attitude. I had written
him that I loved someone else, and
he had come home to get hie free
dom, and marry Celia.
Well, he should have HI I
wouldn't stand In hie way.
He seemed to read my thoughts.
"I suppose we ought to have a
talk and settle things," ha sug
gested.
'Yes but let's dress for dinner
first. Let's see I'll use Virginia's
room and you can have mine." j
"All right." I
He picked up one of his bags
and sauntered off through the door

slowly and went Into Virginia's

What a treasure of love I'd

message to hlml I'd lost him now,
forever, and nobody could e.vei!

I asked myself hopelessly why i
hadu't realized .the truth, why I
hadn't gone to the Philippines with
him when he was ordered there in

making a perfect idiot of myself.

The senaO. wae slowly sinking
at 11 a. m. His physicians said
hla circulatio i was gradually fail-ling.
During moat of the winter of
1923 he remained away from the
sentnte and by the time he entered
the three conered presidential
campaig nof 1924 apparently had
regained much of the physical
vigor of his younger days. He
plunged into the campaign with

around the circle and occupying
himaelf for Ion? hours dally in or
ganfation work among his (sup
porters.

After the election in which he

his banner, he again went into
semi-retirem?nr. Most ot last
winter, ho spent In Florida rest
ing. He returned to Washington,
however, during cue special session
of the senate in March, to cast u
vte against the confirmation of
Charles B. Warren to be attorney
general, and his health seemed
fairly good. I
Tho recrudescence of his old Vl-
ness came upon him here several
weeks ago nnd since then he has
been confined to his home. The
efforts of his physicians to keep
him in time were for a time un
availing, but several days ago he
consented to remain as quiet as
possible In a determined effort to
throw off his affliction.
A touch of asthma Increased the
difficulty of his area thing end in

tent that' the attack ot heart trou

weakened condition.
Besides Mrs. LaFolIette, all of

Middleton of New "York and Mrs.

Career Fighting One
Robert Marion La Follette, con
sidered one of the most powerful
orators of his time, was a storm
center of personal and political
controversy throughout the nation
and In his home state of Wisconsin
for more than a quarter of a cen
tury. "Fighting Bob," the name by
which he was known to political
friends and enemies alike, was a
title well earned almost from the
moment he stepped into the politi
cal arena when scarcely more than
a boy. Facing battles such as few,
if any, of his political contempor
aries were compelled to fight, he
served throe terms as a member of
the house of representatives and
three as governor of Wisconsin,
was four times elected to the Unit
ed States senate, and finally, be
came an independent candidate
for president In 1924.
Perhaps few American public
men ever drew such bitter criti
cism as was heaped upon Senator
La Follette during and immediate
ly after the World War, and cer
tainly none could have been more
staunchly defended by his friends.
His speeches and public policies had
been the target for widespread de
nunciation previous to 1917, while
the great conflict was raging In ;
Europe, but the erf 6 la came when I
he voted against America enter
ing the struggle when the Lusl-
tanla outrage and other violations)
of our neutrality were still burn
ing In the public mind. He was
hung In effigy and even threaten
ed with expulsion proceedings in
the senate, but in tho 1922 elec
tions he was sent back to his place
in Washington by a tremendous
majority.
Progressive In Politics
Thrice Senator La Follette was
placed in nomination for the presi
dency in republican conventions
in 11108, in 1913 when he charged
Theodore Roosevelt with promising
to support him and then becoming
tho progressive candidate himself,
and again In 1916. In each conven
tion La Follette hod the support of
a small but intrepid bloc of dele
gates, as he did In the 1920 and
1924 republican conventions when
he received a handful of votes, al
though not formally placed in
nomination.
Nominally a member of the re
publican party, Senator La Fol
lette was best known for his lean
ing toward progressive or radical
policies and for his life-long fight
against trusts nnd monopolies.
Throughout his public life he was
continually at odds with his party
leaders and most of his associates

his home state and in the national
capital.

Doubly Ineligible
The newly appointed state fish commission, which knows
nothing about fish, is seeking as its first act, to discharge
the only man in its employ who does know anything about
them, Hugh Mitchell, superintendent of hatcheries, who was
induced by the old commission to leave his life job under
civil service as state superintendent of the United States
Bureau of Hatcheries lo enter the employ of the stale under
a long term contract.
?.ir. Mitchell, having been for many years in charge of
federal fish culture in Oregon, being recognized as the lead
ing authority on the subject in the northwest and as knowing
more about salmon than anyone else, and being efficient and
competent, is thereby disqualified for office under tho present
administration. As he is not a politician and refuses to play
politics, he is doubly disqualified.
The attorney general has ruled that the members of the
fish commission exceeded their authority in making a con
tract that bound their successors, but the courts will probably
have to pass upon the point, just as they will upon tho legal
ity of the appointment of state senators upon the commis
sion in defiance of the constitutional inhibition.
With Mr. Mitchell out, the way is clear for carrying out
the governor's plan to make political spoils out of the
department, failure to carry out which cost Dr. Ross his job
ns commissioner.
Bunker Hill
Yesterday was the 150th anniversary of the battle of
Bunker Hill, fought chiefly on Breeds Hill, Charlcstown,
Massachusetts, the first pitched battle of the Revolutionary
war, where 1,500 Americans, entrenched under command of
Israel Putnam, replied two attacks of 2,500 British regulars
under Sir William Howe and did not retreat until their powder
had been exhausted.
"Don't shoot until you see the whiles of their eyes" was
the command given by "Old Put," whose daring and bravery
made him most popular of revolutionary heroes, and the
result was shown in British casualties totalling 1,050 against
American losses of 450, proving to the world that the Amer
ican farmer was more than n match for the finest troops of
Europe. Bunker Hill furnished the inspiration that led the
colonials to victory.
The tyranny against which our ancestors fought, however,
interferred but little with the freedom of the individual
even poor old fanatical King George never attempted to
exercise the statutory supervision, regulation and limitation
we have imposed upon ourselves and by governing too much
undone the liberty that was the Spirit of America and the
inspiration of Bunker Hill.

In tho railway itt.itton.
"Oh, Jim!" I cried, and broke
throuRh the crowd to throw my

'Well, thia 1 a Rre.it welcomo,"

'Where are we living, Nancy?" he

name of the hotel where I wan
staying, he urged the men to etny
there too. "You might na well; nil
hotels are the same to you fel

I didn't understand. I was dnx

happy that I could hardly, speak.
But I did wish that he'd at least
