conclusion here by the reunion of two
playmates who have been separated
for 40 years by family misfortune
while they sought each other from
the Alaskan wilds to New Mexico
and halfway back again.
Prank Nelson and Louis Jacobson,
half-brothers and pals, played their
last game of marbles together in
Tacoma way back In the '80s. To
this day, through all their adventures,
Mr. Jacobson, the younger, has
cherished the memory of a colored
comic section his older brother gave
him upon that occasion.
The death of Frank’s father, fol

birth of Louis, and the separation of
Louis's parents, were events which
I took Frank and his mother to Alas

an orphanage following the elder
Jacobson's illness and financial re

While Frank and his mother were

o
Letter of Late President
Harding Is Made Public
—Duty of America.
NEW YOhk, auk. 27. — Walter
Wallman, Journalist and author, has
made public a letter from late Presi
dent Harding, written on June 16
exhorting American newspaper edi
tors to use their power to end war.
The letter commended the plan
for newspapers to conduct referen
dums upon the “problems of Amer
ica's duty in the world reorganiza
tion for the abolition of war.”
The late President said:
"J long since became con
vinced the United States should not
and will not enter In the much
discussed League of Nations but that
conviction Iiub not destroyed the
hope that there may be found a
way to a world association and
world understanding.”
IRISH FREE STATE IS HOLDING
ELECTION TODAY i BAIL EIREAHH
DUBLIN, Aug. 27 The Irish Free
State t» today holding a general elec
tion to return members to the Dull
dreamt. The day everywhere is a
public holiday, all batiks being closed
and business suspended. All Irish
men and women over 21 years of age
are entitled to franchise.
The election promises to be coni
paratively quiet. Except for the Inter
vention of Mr. DeValera, no political
Issue is raised, and various groups of
Farmers, Labour and Independents,
besides individuals unconnected with
any group, will pul forward candi
dates aimed at the promotion of sec
tional Interests. None of them Is
planning a displacement of the ex
Istlng government. It is calculated
that no party can return a majority
of the House, and that the ministry
must therefore rely oil support from
a combination of groups, though all
are agreed In repudiating th>- name
of a Coalition.
The seats of all the principal min
isters are r garded as safe. Labour
hopps to return 40 members, double
i Its present strength, and the Farmers
hope for as many. It is not known
whether Mr. De Valera can find the
j 20 candidates he contemplates. In
i perhaps half a dozen constituencies
■ his candidate is expected to receive
; a quota of votes, but the success of
1 the others will depeud on how the
transferable votes of Labour, Farmer
and Independent candidates are dis
tributed. In any event no forecast
puts the number of Republican suc
cesses higher than twenty. These
would all refuse the oath of allegi
ance and boycott the new Parliament.
Mr. De Valera hhnself Is standing
for Clare, his old constituency. He is
'still "on the run,’’ and a leading min
ister has declared that while this
government holds office he will be
"kept on the run."
There has been a slight agitation
as to the unfairness of disfranchising
the 12,000 prisoners, but Mr. De
Valera has attached little Importance
to that, provided an unimpeded appeal
is allowed to the people throughout
the country willing to vote Republi
can. The Imprisonment Is more seri
ous than the mere loss in votes, for
the prisoners held Include all the
best known organisers and election
eers of the Republican party.
The enormous extension of the
voters registered bewilders all at
tempts at forecasting the election re
sults. The chances of Labour as an
organized party have been lessened
hy the Intervention of James Larkin,
who Is at war with the established
: labour leader*. It Is calculated that
all Larklnlte voters would give their
second preferences to a Republican
candidate.
