New York, City, N. Y. Life Bldg.. Kansas City. Mo. Rev. Francis C. Young, Chicago’s poet priest, has written a three-verse poem on “Washington's birthday and his mother” which will appear in hundreds of papers throughout the hind today. Rev. Young tells us that to her who gave the great Washington birth, is due much of the honor we bestow this day, the anniversary of the birth of the "Father of his country.” It’s a thought worth while for too often we forget the little mother who smiles and works and prays as her son makes good. _. lt I Frank VanderMp the New York mtf lionaire who intimated there was some thing mysterious about the sale of the Marion Star welcomes the suit filed ' by the publishers of that paper, demanding >630,000 damages and says he will give that to clear up things. He says there ought to be more suits in court and less i nthosenate and the people will agree with him. These congressional investigations are some what Jokes. They dig up sensational matters and use them politically and titan forget them in the whirl of other things. If half the charges made are true, there certainly should be some cases in court. Os course the community ctrtl't or won't do all the things suggested for 1 improvement this spring and nummqr. Perhaps many of the surges- | tions need revising and some of them will not work at al! but there is no doubt about the ne>'d for a tourist camp or the good such an improvement Is for the community. Mr. Vance L Is in charge of the campaign to pro vide a real place for the tourists and 1 will soon begin his efforts. A modern camp will widely advertise the city and will bring to this place each evening a Urge uumlier of auloistx, i many of whom will spend money here but who better still. If treated right, will tell the world about us.

He has been in Washington several months and has the facts and figures with which to support what ho will say in his declaration of candidacy. Hu has promised that within a short time and his statement will bo awaited with interest. Attorney General Daugherty Wednesday told -the president that he would not resign under fire. It should, some may thinly, make considerable difference from what source the fire comes. It was very like fire on Mr. Daugherty when President Coolidge went clear outside the department presided over by him, the department charged by law with the business in hand, and appointed special counsel to handle the oil lease litigation. That was pretty straight shooting. It it did not Indicate a lack of confidence on the part of the Presidept WtlTe department of justice under its present head, it would be interesting to know what other inference could be drawn, even by Mr. Daugherty. Il is hard to see how Mr. Daugherty could have withheld bis resignation one moment after the announcement that special counsel were to be appointed. It would seem as though the presidential firn—and it amounts to that—would have had some effect. But it apparently has had none. .However, it was yesterday "insisted by those close to the attorney-general'' to quote ■<rom the dispatches, ‘-'That he and the president had found in' complete gccord.”—lndianapolis News ’
