Riddle, owner of Jljan o' AVar, and near him Charles Schwartz, the latter, by request, estimating the amount that Man o' War would earn, every year, if his owner eared to exploit him commercially. Ifinn o' AVar, you are sup posed to know, is a great race horse, and for his services ns sire hundreds would gladly pay $5000, because grant horses transmit their qualities. Man o' War could easily win for his owner $200,000 a year, as a father, now that his racing davs are past. Watching the horses running around a muddy track, and waiting (for the big Belmont stakes race, are many young men, sons of able fathers of whom a painful majority will amount to nothing. Their pros perous fathers make it unnec essary for them to work, so they do not work, and their inher- ( ited ability is wasted. If Man o' War had left his winnings to J his colts, they would win no races. -. That is the moral for rich fathers, in this year's Belmont stakes. Justices Holmes and Bran deis, of the Supreme Court, are often together in the headline "Holmes and Brandeis." Jus tice Holmes, 88, oldest man that ever sat on the bench, and Jus tice Brandeis, one of the ablest lawyers and one of the best men in the United States, are old fashioned Americans, tak ing their freedom of thought and speech quite seriously. Rosika Si'hwimmer applied g for citizenship and the Supreme Court rejected her appeal, be cause she is a pacifist, docs not believe in war and says she would not fight. She is past GO, and could not fight much anyhow. Apart from that, Justice Holmes re minds his fellow judges that the founder of Christianity was also a pacifist.

M') The senate agreed today to vote tomorrow at 4 p. m. on the con ference farm relief bill. WASHINOTO.W June 10. (P) The republican quarrel over farm relief in the aenatc flared forth In a bitter exchange today when Sen ator Borah of Idaho challenged President Hoover's opposition to the export debenture proposition and Senator Allen jf Kansas as serted the Idahoan had failed to advocate the plan before the re publican convention last summer. Reading from the republican platform he helped to frame. l Borah declared it pledged the party to place the farmer on an equality with industry. "Kuporters of tile export deben ture," he, said, "contend, and we think we can show, that the de benture is one of the indispensable steps necessary to place agricul ture on an equality with other in dustries so long ns other industries enjoy the tariff." Senator Allen, a lieutenant of Herbert Hoovef during the cam paign and the newest member of the senate, interrupted the ida hoan whose open opposition to the president was receiving close at tention, and asked: "Why didn't you advocate put ting . the' debenture provision ,in tne republican platform? You surely did not want to fool the people, did you ?" WASHINGTON, June 10. A compromise on the census re apportionment bill was reached to day by conferees of the senate and house fixing next April 1 for starting the census, after the house earlier had rejected the first con ference report providing for start ing the census in November. scieSIed Oregon University Gradua tion Class Addressed By Former Illinois Governor Five 'Thousand People Hear Talk. EtTGENR, Ore., June 10.(ff) Frank O. Lowrten, former governor of Illinois und candidate for reni dent in the 192S election, told the graduating class of the University of Oregon here today that Only when the same .scientific methods that have hecn applied elsewhere are applied to government will bo cial progress reach Its greatest height. Nearly 5000 persons heard the address. "The civilizations of the past have had a common history," .Mr. lxiwden said. "As civilization ad vanced simplicity gave way to com plexity and there was a gradual increase in wealth and life became mote secure within the state. This process went on until civilization leached Its climax and entered upon Its decline. This hao been the story of all the civilizations which preceded our own. "Is there a relentless law of the rise and fall of civilizations from which no civilization is immune?" The scientific spirit, Mr. I.owden said, distinguishes this age In which we live above all that went before. Hut in the onward march of the material sciences, I.owden said, "it is to be noted with regret that ll was not the universities or the Institutions of higher learning which took the lead."

It was preceded by a posing for a talking picture film, the prime minister, ltamsuy MacDonald, and h:s colleagues gathering In the garden behind No. 10 Downing street. LONDON. Juno 10. ?) Tho possibility that Premier Hiimnay Mac Donald would shortly go lo Washington for private conversa tions w 1 1 h l'resldent Hoover aroused great interest today. In timations came from two quarters that such a trip was probable. The conversations, should they eventuate, would include, not only naval disarmament, but the entire score of Anglo-American relations. Since Canada's interest would be vital, Premier lUaeKenzio King of the dominion probably would par ticipate, Most authoritative word of the proposed trip appeared In the Daily lernkl, the labor organ, which said that the prime minister desired personal consultation with 1 President Hoover on Anglo-Ameri-! can relations und was willing to (go to the United States for that ; purpose. The Herald said the prime min isteK probably would discuss tho matter with his cabinet. --There was reason to surmise, tho paper said, that' Mr. MucDonald'n view as to the desirability of direct per sonal contact was shared by Presi dent Hoover and his advisers, who would facilitate such a meeting. If matters can he arranged, ac cording to the Herald, und if ad ministrative duties permit, tho premier, for the first time In lOng lish history, may ci'obs the Atlantic on an important state mission. Mr. MacDonald, it was said, realizes what difficulty Mr. Hoover would have in getting away now, and for that reason would expect to make the trans-Atlantic trip himself. It was not disclosed whether any definte approach had been made to Washington or whether the prime minister would await the arrival of General Charles O. Dawes, new ambassador lo St. James.

"WASHINGTON, June ID. (,V) Democrat ic polities boiled and bu billed today ill the political pot that is Washington. For tonight the democratic organization of tho District of Columbia will give a dinner in honor of Jouett Shouse,' recently chosen as the lieutenant of Chairman John J. Raskob of the national committee, to have charge of the new party headquar ters here, and opinions differ as to Its significance. on the one hand, some reports widely circulated and not whis pered, have given the dinner the color of a national affair. These reports havo been chiefly to the 'effect that prominent members of the party who opposed the leader ship of Alfred K. Smith and Ras kob in the lat campaign, would make It the occasion to express publicly to their constituents, par ticularly those in the south, their disapproval of continuation of that leadership by being conspicuously absent. On the other hand, tlw official reports, formally and vigorously circulated, have Insisted that the dinner is strictly a local affair at which Uaskob and Shouse will, naturally enough, be prominent speakers. Furthermore, Robert N. Harper, president of the Jefferson Democratic association,, which Ik giving the dinner, asserts, mora of the party's mcmheru In congress have .accepted invitations than were expected. Acceptances havo been received from Senator Robinson of Ar kansas, H enators Overman of North Carolina, McKellar and Ty son of Tennessee, Ransdell and Rroussard of Louisiana, and Har rison of Mississippi, Senator Flotcher of Florida has gone fur ther and expressed regret that some democrats were "helping" republicans In an effort to use the dinner "to divide tho democrats and force those democrats who were opposed to Smith on two main grounds, Into the republican ranks." Senator (Mass, democrat, Vlr glina, is one who sent his regrottf but made public a letter written to Air. Shouse In which ho ex plained' his Inability to attend. Senator Simmons of North Caro lina, who halted the Smllh-Raskob leadership in the last campaign, has been tho most vigorous demo cratic, commentator in opposition to the dinner, describing It uh "in opportune," while Senator Smith of South Carolina, antoher who will not attend, refused to mako a statement "In the Interests of party harmony.'' Senators Hlease of Soulh Carolina and Harris of fieorgla, were umong thoso who had "other arrangements," Invitations wore extended only to prominent democrats living In Washington.
