will remain, afloat as long as sufficient gas

Hoover cojnplete with the dusting tools

sedan coming east. Kaufman was
driving the car and two men were in
the back seat. The marshal drove up
all right, waited for the light signal
to change color, and then turned his
car toward the city hall. He saw John
get out, stagger, head down, hand on
wall, and disappear inside the building. A little later he saw another man
get out.
Mr. Bell then walked from the corner in the company of Peter Druckenbrod to the alley where the car stood.
They, looked in and saw a man with
-his eyes closed as if asleep. Did not
see Kaufman after he left the car.

JUSTICE TO LA FOLLETTE
. Editors The Sun: The editorial in
your issue of June 25 entitled "La
Follette" is one of the best I have
read on the death of that great statesman. .The Sun, as I well know, denounced Senator La Follette bitterly
during the Presidential campaign, yet
your newspaper is big enough and
broad enough to say after his death
that "it would be neither fitting nor
honest for those who criticized and
disagreed sharply with his stand on
great political questions to cover his
memory with eulogy now. He never
asked quarter nor gave it and he
would have preferred to go to his long
rest in that same spirit. ... He
did not court companionship, he made
no effort to make friends and he died
with his face to his foes."
I want to thank you for your fairness, and at the same tjme to assure
you that I consider The Sun's editorial
page a most excellent one. Very truly
yours, Wm. T. Russell.

LATE SPORT NEWS
Baseball Players Couldn't Blame the
Umpire A-tall.
The games on Tuesday evening
were of unusual interest. The Paint,
Handle and Foundry played the Cost
and Accounting on the hard diamond.
For a long time it looked like a nest
of goose eggs (not rotten ones) but
the foundry finally broke through
with two runs in the third. They got
another in the fourth, and two more
in the fifth, then settled back to enjoy
the victory.
The Cost and Accounting got a start
in the sixth and came home with two
runs, and then found another in the
eighth, but it was too late. A score
of six to three, is too big a margin
to dispute a victory on. Everybody
was a good sport which helps make
the game more enjoyable for tho
spectators as well as the players.
When Peg Sat Down
The General Office and Engineering
certainly had some time finishing their
game. Both teams .got a good start
and ran along pretty well matched
throughout the entire game. The business men had some trouble finding
Bradshaw's curves and landing fair
on them, but they did sometimes. Bill
