ST. LOUIS HOST TO ROTARY CLUBS
MEETING IN ANNUAL CONVENTION
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. June 18.—(By As
sociated Press.)—Delegates represent
ing 1,450 clubs located in 2<i coun
tries of the world, with memberships
totaling approximately 90,000, are
gathering here today to attend the
opening of the fourteenth annual
convention of International Rotary.
This shows the growth of tile or
ganization, for it was in 11106 that
four men met in Chicago and formed
the first club. These were a coal
dealer, a mining operator, a merch
ant tailor and an attorney. Thoj
called the club ‘Rotary" becaus.
the members met in rotation at their
places of business.
It. was not until 1908 that the sec
ond Rotary CJub was formed in San
Francisco. Then the movement be
gan to spread until there were lii
clubs in the United States in 1910,
when the first convention was held
in Chicago.
Since 1912 the organization has
grown even more rapidly than din
ing the first seven years. Although
the greater number of clubs are In
the United States, and the British
Isles and Canada—there aro now Ito
Itary Clubs in Newfoundland. Porto
Rico, Mexico, Cuba, Republic of Pan
ama, Uruguay, Argentine Republic,
j china, Norway, British India. Spain,
, Prance, Denmark, Australia, New
! ZealundJ Hawaii, Philippine Islands,
; Peru, South Africa, Japan, Holland,
j and Brazil.
Each Rotary Club Is a complete
i working unit in Itself, entirely inde
j pendent of every other club, and Is
i supposed to make itself a purt ol
| tile community to which it is cstab
I Hailed and to adapt Itself to the pe
culiar problems of that community.
During tile hist few years a model
constitution has been provided that
I all new dubs are required to adopt,
j A system of arbitrary grouping of
clubs in what are called districts
lies been adopted. There are 41 Ro
tary districts in the world at (he
I present time. Each district has a
i governor \vh ois elected by the an
nual convention from nominations
made by clubs of the district, and
tile governor is an international offi
cer and the accredited representn*
five of the international board to the
dubs.

Plans to Introduce
New Beer Bill.
t yiruid A ~m.
Representative Fred D. Britten,
Republican, af TUlnois, a "wet”
louder, bus announced his Intcn
ition of Introducing a beer-and
Hght-wines bill on the first day of
tlie new Congress. In an explana
tory statement he declared that
$700,000.000—more than enough
to run tlfe entire Army and Navy
for a year—could be produced in
revenue by permitting the manu
facture and sale of light wines
and beer under Federal tax. "Such
a tax would be paid more cheer
fully than any other the Govern
ment could Impose,” he declared.
"It would not only take care of a
soldiers' bonus, but would pay off
the whole national debt In twenty
years.”

qJ
Homy J. Allen, former Repub'iean Governor ct' Kansas, has
staled, in London, his belief that President Warding- will be a can
didate for re-election and that he will be opposed by either tienry
Kurd, automobile manufacturer, or O- ar W. rnderwood, United
States Senator from Alabama. Alien denied that he intends to seek
the Republican nomination. Democratic leaders, he said, are for
Underwood, but he is skeptical about their ability to control the
national convention.
AMERICAN LESION CRITICIZES
U, S, HISTORY TEXTBOOKS USED
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Juno IS. —
Directing criticism at certain Histor
ies of the Uniti d States proposed
for use in Indiana schools, Frank
Henley, adjutant of the American Le
gion in Indiana has succeeded in Hav
ing tlie objectionable Hooks removed
from the list of*t< xta. Henley's rep
resentations, made to the school com
missioners, were that the works in
guestion failed to pay proper regard
for tlie historic ails of American;,
during tlie Revolution.
The Hooks named wore “A His
tory of tlie American People," liy
William Mason West, former profes
sor of history in the University of
Idaho, and “An American History,"
liy Dr. David Saville Muzzey.
Henley’s statement was made on
the 'lasts of refJbfts from A. H. Con
ner of Idaho, and supplemental re
marks tiy Judge Wallace MacCam
mant, chairman of the committee on
patriotic education of tlie Sons of
the American Revolution. The In
(liana man declared West’s book
made statements about men in public
life which stamped the author as “a
loose thinker, utterly unfit to mould
the plastic and impressionable minds]
of school children.”
Both books wore named in a recent
report made to Mayor Ilylan of New
York, who barred them from the
schools of that city on the ground
that they sought to disseminate anti
American and pro-British propaganda.
Mr. Henley's principal objection to
the works was In llpe witli the com
plaint made to Mayor Ilylan. He de
clared that the ride of Paul Revero
is omitted, and that the Battle of
Lexington and Concord is treated of
in “hut forty-two words.” He fur
ther alleged that the works sought |
to spread controversial ideas and so
cialism. “The Legion's objections
are made solely on patriotic grounds
as we have no knowledge as to thoi
names of the publishers of either
| book.” declared Henley's letter.

solved Tor future development. The
Government has spent millions for
a railroad which I don't believe can
be made to pay for itself. What the
country needs is population.”
Lack of Unity.
Representative Henry K. Barbour,
California, said:
"I think we were all impressed
that the fisheries need legislation
to prevent their being depleted.
Aside from this one industry I don’t
know of any other problem relative
to Alaska upon which u]l cities
unite as the one problem upon
whitch Congufsj , should legislate.
Cn frail zed control should be given
consideration. The greatest prob
lem l» the luck of population.
"Just what Congress can or will
do none can say at this time. We
have a vast amount of Information
which will be the very best in aid
ing to form out opinions to guide
future Alaskan legislation.”
Sane Development Possible.
Alaska's resources can be devel
oped without rivamelcssly exploiting
them, declared Representative
Cryenus Cole, or Iowa.
Representative .Chatle» 13. Timber
lake, of Colorado, referring to the
five Senators and 26 Congressmen
who made the Alaska trip said the
Territory will have 31 well Informed
friends in the next Congress and
Iter prospects for • greatness would
he assured if every member had
men on this tour. He said he was
nuch impressed with the high av
erage of intelligence of the Alaska
jeople and with their purpose in
'esiding in the Territory.

tnit to several national parks and

No Rail Extension
Further extension of the Alaska
lallroad did not meet with general
approval of the members of Congress
i
but larger appropriations for road de
velopment was favored. Congressmen
from the .Middle West, and Mouth
were somewhat skeptical of (lift agri
cultural possibilities while Western
ers were enthusiastic.
Senator Ladd feels that Alaska will
be a wonderful scenic attraction for
tourists and its natural resources
will be developed as they are needed
by the rest of the nation. He said
that protection of the fisheries is the
I most important problem.
! Senator U. I>. Howell does not he
j lieve the Government should expend j
any more money on the Alaska Rail
way. He was unimpressed with the
i agricultural possibilities and said the i
! industry couldn’t compete success
fully with the markets of the States.
He said that construction of the rail- '■
road means obtaining products from'
the States and this would automati-!
j rally wipe out the home market of
Alaska farmers.
Representatives Taylor. McClafferty
and Crisp united in saying Congress
would undoubtedly give much time
to Alaskan problems next session.
Mr. McClafferty said: “While we
were all impressed with the Terri
tory and its vast wealth, none can
answer the query ‘What is the Mat
ter With Alaska?’ Members of the
delegation don’t know but they have
some idea how Alaska can be assisted
in helping itself.
“The Territory from a military
standpoint must be considered \in
plans for the National defense. Tills
feature was not overlooked by the
delegation which studied these and
other matters while they were not
discussed.”
