LA FOLLETTE AND ROOSEVELT
Some of the “progressives” who
are thundering for La ‘Follette are
trying to draw a parallel between the
Wisconsin senator and his 1924 cam
paign and the “bull moose” campaign
of Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. They
want to curry support for La Fol
lette by planting him in Roosevelt’s
shoes, thereby hoping to draw much
of the same element that went to the
former president in the memorable
campaign of twelve years ago.
In 1912 La Follette likewise was
more than a passive candidate for
president. What he said about Roose
velt is worth remembering. He
attacked Roosevelt in these words:
•‘He did not have enough votes to
nominate himself upon any honest
basis. He did have enough delegates
in that convention ultimately to have
nominated a real progressive and
adopted a strong progressive plat
form.”
In another address dealing with
the third party movement LaFollette
said:
“It seems to me that the highest
obligation of real progressive repub
licans in every state is to maintain
their organizations and continue to
fight within the lines of the republi
can party for progressive principles,
policies and candidates. No aid or
encouragement should be given to a
third party plan to divide the pro
gressive vote and destroy the pro
gressive republican moevment
It is an entirely different pipe that
he is skirling today and it shows his
political dishonesty. He refused to
support Roosevelt in 1912 because he
wanted the republican nomination
himself. Today, after having bolted
the republican party—to which he
was a member in name only—because
he received only a baker’s dozen
votes in opposition to Coolidge at
Cleveland ,he tries to start a party
movement of his own in violation of
the principles which he so loudly pro
claimed and affirmed in 1912.
It is a mockery for the LaFollette
lieutenants ,today to try to turn the
4,190,101 votes that went to Roose
velt in 1912, to the Wisconsin sena
tor by making the subtle but specious
plea that the La Follette movement
is heir of the Roosevelt movement.
It is noteworthy that although
Roosevelt attempted, with all the
srength of his personality and tre
mendous popularity, to unite the so
called progressive forces under his
political standard, he made no appeal
to socialists and pink communists.

His principles were as far removed
from those of LaFollette now as so
cialism is removed from republi#an
ism, and were he living today, he
would befound battling against the
insidious forces which are attaching
themselves to the Wisconsin sena
tor’s bandwagon because they regard
| him as the white hope of political
and economic chaos.
Let those who may have mistled
into believing LaFollette is the em
bodiment of the insuregnt movement
of 1912 ponder what he said about
that movement.
The preacher who placed a mon
key on his pulpit steps to show that
man was not descended from the si
miam ,was more of a monkey than
he realized.
A body was found in California re
cently without a head . Investigation
showed that it was a well known bus
iness man. Many business men in
Alaska are without heads, or at least
they have all indications of the same.

most likely to exist,” Andrews said,
“and, while it is something of a
gamble what we shall find, we are
convinced we will be seeking in the j
right place.”
The third expedition, which dis
covered the mastodonic eggs in
Mongolia , failed to find the re
mains of the “first man,” but An
drews believes his party will un
earth them in strata of a primitive'
period. When they are found, An
drews thinks, they may throw light
on the church controversy now rag
ing between the Modernists and the
Fundamentalists.
The party will invade the Gobi
Desert, and, because of the severe
winter climate north of the Hima
layas, it will be able to work only
in the summer.
Colgate University purchased one
of the dinosaur eggs for $5,000
which helped to swell the fund of
$256,000 raised to defray the cost
of the expedition, which may last
five years.

SYNTHETIC BOARDS
900 FEET IN LENGTH
CHICAGO, Aug. 22—Boards 900
feet long the miracle of the new syn
thetic lumber, according to B. G.
Dahlberg, in an address here.
“Boards 900 feet long are made
daily at mills near New Orleans out
of bagasse, the waste fibre of sugar
cane,” said Mr. Dahnberg. “A 900
foot board, until synthetic lumber
was discovered, was a thing unheard
of and never dreamed of in the en
tire world. If stood on end it would
be taller than any building ever
erected by man except the Eiffel
To-wer, which is 984 feet high. It
would reach 400 feet above the top 1
of the Washington Monument and
300 feet above the W’oolworth build
ing ,the tallest building in the w’orld.
It woultl be more than twice the
height of the Pyramid of Cheops,
or the tallest sequoia in California’s
big three forests.
“These 900-foot boards are twelve
feet wide as they come from the mill
at the rate of 450 lineal feet an hour,
a half million feet daily. The oper
ation is continuous. A single board

“The new lumber is flawless. It
has not knots, no sap, no crossgrains 1
no iregular edges, no variation in
strength, width or thickness. It has
qualities that natural lumber lacks.
It does not decay. It is weather proof,
carries the instillation value of cork,
which cuts down the fuel bill and
makes homes cool in summer and
warm in winter. It is a sound-dead
ener, which is important in this age
of nerve-wracking industrial noises.’’
