HOUSE By Ahern Ticks othf Times By PENROD A very much pained Boston awoke morning to the unusual discovery that for onco the forces of Providence were not working in harmony with the expressed desires of Beacon street3 lest blood for it was a greatly overcast day. Skies were leaden with that discouraging finality so peculiar to a New England fky which has made -up its mind to rain. All this was to work havoc with the carefully wrought plans for celebrating the 150th anniversary of the battles of Concord and Lex- ingtont For gorgeous pageants and paraaes had been planned in Lexington and Concord for Sunday afternoon to open the three day event, while in Boston dedicatory exercises were to be held at the graves of Paul Revere and William Dawes and Fanueil Hall was receive a new memorial. The Boston branch of the activity carried on. Fortunately, too, since that was the part we had decided to visit.

A fair sized downpour occurs as we crowl down Tremont street to the old Granary cemetery about two in the afternoon. The bleak day emphasizes the shadows cast by the hug granite buildings which line the Tremont and Bcacor. Hill district. A double guard of militia stretches down each side of Tremont from Turk street. Further still stands a guard of middies from the U.

S. S. Florida, in port for the week. A battery of colors flying two Union Jacks and two Stars and Stripes. Still nearer thi cemetery is a small detachment in scarlet and gold uniform of the Ancient and Honourable Artillery a Massachusetts state organization antedating the Revolution.

This is the bright dash of color in the whole picture. High plumes, satiny scarlet, brilliant gold braid. Then the Minute Men done in the conventional colonial uniform. And ct the crest of the procession, no.v halted, a small line of limousines. Their Royal Nibs, Pershing and Dawes chariots.

The ceremony is now going on far in the rear of Granary burial grounds. A. guerdon of police block i the cemetery entrance. But far back against the gTey stone fence one sees pompous men in black and lordly generals shuffling about in their solemn job of dedicating the new bronzo tablet at the tomb of Paul Revere. Suddenly a much garbled taps echoes among the tall buildings around.

The little group of important men begin their short march to the street. Under the arched entrance way they come Dawes first, pale and white against the funereal background of silk hat and Prince Albert coat. Then the fiirr sprightly step of John J. Pershing-ruddy cheeks, trim grey moustache, powerful stature, alert carriage. Salutes, backward-guide-rights, general's drum rolls, are executed in miscellaneous order.

The march continues down Tremont to Kings chapel where in the still more ancient burial grounds lie the remains of William Dawes, ancestor of Charles. The same ceremony that memorialized the tomb of Paul Revere was repeated. It took the election of a vice president to get William Dawes the amount of creoit he had coming for his share of the night ride in 75. Again the line of march forms. The crowd presses persistently.

The rain does, too. An this time the movement is toward Fanueil Square. Down through the Greek commission houses, the fresh vegetable and meat stalls, heavy with the odors of Saturdays traffic. Theil down narrow North street, kicking aside scraps of cabbage, wrapping paper, or any of the thousands of items that collect in the streets of a public market. The next ceremony is on the site of the William Dawes homestead.

Today there stands the Handsehumacher Packing House, dealers in summer sausage, dressed pork, etc. But American flags stick out the window today, and the place is conferred a new dignity by the impassioned words of Mayor Curley. This memorial takes but a few minutes. Pershing is back in his car to the accompaniment of a roll of drums. And the last leg of the journey is taken.

We ere around the corner to Fanueil llall. Already it is packed. The royal line files in while great shouting inside welcomes them. Outside a hundred or less of us cram the doors cut the Boston police are stubborn. Cries are hurled, How about the hoi-polloi; Whats the matter, aint the four hundred here yet?" But they do no good.

We dont get in. WILLIE WINGRA SAYS Wj HEN A MAN SAY-5 HE HAS SOMETHING CONCRETE TO WORK WITH!

And sae did I mine. Defends Peavey Congressman Reek Hits Chicago Millionaires in the Izaak Walton league. (To The Editor) I notice an interview in th'j papers from former Assemblymen R. Bruce Johnson, relative to tlie game refuge bill, 88A, as originally introduced in the legislature, which he gives Congressman Poavy and my- self credit for the opposition to the bill. Mr.

Johnson mentions two-of the principal objections both Congressman Peavey and myself had to the bill, and omitji two other important ones. They are, 1st, 8SA not only granted the federal government the right to purchase 1S4.000 acres of Mississippi bottom lands belonging to Wisconsin, but it granted congress the right to purchase for all future time, any lands it Saw fit, to be used as game preserves. No such provision was in either the Minnesota, Iowa or Illinois bill. The questions arises: Just why was that provision put into the Wisconsin bill and not in the bills of the ether three States? Was this provision placed in the Wisconsin bill because 14 out of the 17 leading officials of Izaak Walton league are milionaire reactionary plutocrats from Chicago who have designs on the fish breeding grounds of the Mississippi and 6000 lakes in northe-n Wisconsin? These gentlemen are never -very much concerned about common folks. They always have something in mind oth.

er thar their welfare. This brings me to the second objection which Mr. Johnson omits: The original 8SA prohibited any citizen of from going -upon this refuge or any future refuge congress might take, to hunt or fish, either in season or out of season, except by permission of the government at Washington, Illy experience with Washington, and my knowloage of what happens all over the world under similar provisions of the law, leads rue to feel hat eventually no one would be permitted to go upon these lands except the wealthy and those with political pull. The salmon fisheries of Alaska, the greatest in the world, were placed under the department of commerce to administer. The result has been that the packers have got control of them all.

and thousands of common folks in that country have been shut out of these fisheries. Mr. Johnson states the distribution of rescued fish seems to be a political proposition. Ihe granting of permits to go 'on these lands would also be a political proposition. No doubt about it.

That should never be. But when Mr. Johnson intimates that Congressman Peavey has not been able to get any of thee rescued fish for northern Wisconsin, he is misinformed. Congressman Peavey is among the first, if not the first congressman in Wisconsin to get these fish by the carload fo-his district, and I attended a conference in Washington, called by Congressman Peavey himself, at which the chief of the bureau of fisheries, Mr. OMalley, Elmer Hall, Wisconsins conservation commissioner, Congressman Schneider, Congressman Peavey and myself were in attendance.

At this conference it wa3 arranged by Congressman Peavey, and agreed to by loth Mr. OMalley and Mr. Fall, that seven or eight carloads of rescued game fish should be delivered to Mr. Hall by the bureau of fisheries and distributed by Mr. Hall to the lakes in Congressman Peaveys district.

No man in congress has done more for his district in line of fish distribution than Congressman Peavey. But suppose Congressman Teavey was not able to get any fish for his district at all. How many of the 252,000 people of his district would suffer thereby? Suppose be has nothing to say about the appointment of 150 postma ters in his district. How many of the 252,000 people of his district would suffer by that? Suppose he has nothing to say about the appointment of 600 rural mail carriers in district How many of the 232,000 other people of his district would suffer as a result? To get these things is usually termed getting something for the district. But to get the appointment of 150 postmasters and 600 rural carriers, gets something for 730 people.

But ho a about the other 252.000? In order to get something for these 750 people Congressman Peavey would have to vote for seating Newberry in congress. He would have to vote for a revenue bill that took in taxes off the rich and sdd it to the poor. He would hSve to vote against the repeal of jthe Esch-Cummins law that is adding an unnecessary burden of $360 per year to every family in the United States. He would have to vote for a tariff law that does an equal amount to the burden of common folks. He would have to approve of the Dohenys and Sinclairs robbing the country of its national resources and the purchasing of government officials at $100199 each, and wholesale graft and corruption in order to get something for 750 people.

But what would the other 232.000 people of his district think about it? This is something to think about, I have been in dongress with Congresman Peavey tor two years and I know his energies are directed toward getting something for 232,000 people of his district, while the present government at Washington Is run on the theory of getting something for the few, fn-those having political pull, just as this game refuse bill provided, had it passed in the form 14 millionaire Izaak Walton leaguers from Chicago desred it to pass. I belong to the Izaak Walton league, but I do not belong to the Chicago millionaires. Im trying to save this organization from their control. J. D.

Beck, Vi-roqua, Nis. TIE CANT FORGET COMMISSIONS! (To The Editor) Congressman Beck in his letter of the 20th tells how the people are being gouged by the insurance companies, and I dont think that he has exaggerated the figures. The Hardware Mutual pays good salaries and is accumulating a large surplus at one-half the rate charged by the old line companies. But what are Mr. Becks friends, the insurance commission, doing to protect the people from this usury? O.

Marheins, EI-wood Jones and Matt RiihimakL Putting: Madison and Jess Cohen on the Air "plIE Capital Times-Studio station last A night gave evidence of the tremendous amount of advertising which.

the city of Madison can obtaih through the medium of its two radio stations, The Capital Times-Studio and the University of Wisconsin station. That Madison, the Athens of the West. can bring talent to the microphone that will equal the programs put out on the air by the best stations in the country has already become quite apparent. And, by the way, Madison has its own king of the ivories in the person of Jess Cohen, pianist. ''y'HlS writer saw a broadcasting sta- tion in full blast last night and, incidentally we became a redhot radio fan.

The average person doesnt yet appreciate the wonderful possibilities of radio. Announcement had been made that the Haresfoot orchestra would broadcast the score of this years Haresfoot production, Ivan Ho. It was announced that the program would be on from 8:30 to 10. The Haresfoot boys went on at 8:30 and the song hits and snappy music of this years show went hurling into space. The Haresfoot boys completed their program about 9:15.

In view of the fact that it had been announced that the program was to last until Cohen consented to fill in at the piano for a while. 7 Mr. Cohen played one' or two popular songs. Then Don Patterson, announcer for station WIBA, told the listening fans that Mr. Cohen would be glad to play any request numbers.

Then came the deluge. Within a few minutes the station phones began ringing and requests began to pour in from all parts of the city and county for favorite numbers. Two persons were kept busy answering phone calls. Because of the clogged condition of the phones severa people came to the station to ask for special numbers. This morning the telephone company reported that the phone company was swamped with calls from those seeking to get the station.

So insistent were the fans that Mr. Cohen continue that it was 10:45 oclock before Madisons king of the ivories announced that he was all in and would have to end the program. Sitting at the piano in his shirtsleeves, Mr. Cohen, without any music before him, played the request numbers fast as they were brought to him from 9:15 to 10:45. In only one or two instances was Mr.

Cohen unfamiliar with the numbers requested. Better than Harry Snodgrass was the comment that came over the phone from many of the listeners in. Today The Capital Times-Studio station had already received requests for an early repetition of Jess Cohens request program. IN the short time that it has been on the air The Capital Times-Studio station has already demonstrated the wonderful possibilities of radio for Madison. There is a world of talent here.

Madison is a cosmopolitan city with the state capitol and the university in its midst. Three times every wee-k The Capital Times-Studio station proposes to place this talent on display before thousands of radio fans in the country. We hope that jt will prove of value to Madison.

GrOATS HAL COCHRAN'S DAILY POEM Give me a rowboat, a couple of oars and a sun shining bright over head. Fetch me some bait, and some fishermans stores and some ham and a loaf of rye Lread. Poin; to the spot where the fishin is fair, and give the old rowboat a shove. Grant me the just to row myself there, so I'll be in the life that I love. Pluik! goes the anchor.

Im settled at last, and I w.ggle a worm on a hook. Swish through tlje air, and a line is soon cast. A bobber is riding the brook. Run along, world, cause Im busy just now. Busy at loafin and such.

Sure, I can fish, for Ive always known how, but the fishes arent bitin not much. Might just as well take it easy a -spell, and sneak me a half hours snooze. Cant miss a lot, for it seems, at this spot, that there arent any fishes to lose. Say! Whqres the sun? Why, the night times begun. Ive slept all the afternoon through.

True, fishin is slick, but if I have my pick, why, Id rather just sleep wouldnt you? (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) BUILDING PERMITS Mrs. J. F. Gratz, roof, 426 W. Doty $133.
