Told Without
Varnish by Ben Long
An Akron Church
IT was my privilege on Sunday morning to make a short address on
the value of The Gideons before
the Sunday-school Bethany Lutheran
church, 837 Carroll street, Akron. The
financial response was splendid. But
let me add that to the pastor, the
Rev. Carl David Bostrom, should go
the credit for the warm reception accorded the "Bible in every room of
every hotel." Not only did he grant
me favors rarely accorded a visitor
but he made an address I regard as
one of the best—undoubtedly the best
—I ever listened to. And that after
many years of newspapering in cities
of more than one million persons.
PASTOR BOSTROM conducts two
services each Sunday morning.
One in the language of the
Swedes, the other in English. He is a
manly chap and he makes friends on
sight. The young people love him and
their parents regard him as their
pastor in more ways than one. I never
saw more intelligent looking or better
dressed boys and girls than I saw in
Bethany Lutheran church. "Wholesome looking" is the compound word
I mean.
The men in the congregation, like
women, immediately command respect,
and the pastor's sister-in-law, Mrs.
Carlson, associated with a firm of
widely known attorneys, teaches a
class of bright young men and young
women. She is in many ways a remarkable woman.
My visit to this church will linger
long with me as one of the most
profitable and delightful in my experience, profitable because I met people of sincere religious convictions,
and delightful because they made me
feel at * home.
But then with a red-blooded man
like Pastor Carl David Bostrom as
their leader what else could one expect ?
Senator Borah
THREE weeks ago in this column
this writer predicted that Senator William E. Borah "can consider himself fortunate if he secures
six of the 52 Republican national convention delegates in the primary on
May" 12".'- "    :j'-*
Running against Charles Taft, the
man from Idaho won five. The Taft
delegates, of course, will go with Walter Brown of'Toledo and State Chairman Ed D. Schorr of Cincinnati when
the 'time comes to switch. Even a
man with one eye and that optic needing medical attention knows that
Charlie Taft didn't Consider himself
seriously for the nomination when he
permitted the use of his name. But
he got the publicity and he put the
brakes on Borah, the liberal.
AS a matter of fact the old-line Republicans in Ohio do not owe
William E. Borah even an apology for voting against him. For years
they have known that the senator
from Idaho, brilliant as he is in debate and the possessor of great intellectual qualities, can not prove that
he is a genuine representative of the
Republican party.
His record in the senate is too
dotted with liberalism to make him
acceptable to the Old Guard members
of his party. They recall that' four
years ago he refused to lift a hand
in aid of the Republican candidate for
the Presidency.
All in all, it is stating only the
obvious to say that Senator Borah has
many things to live down before he
can command the support of the conservative elements in the convention
at Cleveland. He is whipped for the
nomination and he knows it, but if
he "takes a walk" in Cleveland he
will give the Republican leaders many
headaches before November.

Football-Minded President
On December 4, 1905, the House of
Representatives having organized, a
committee was appointed to wait upon
the President, Theodore Roosevelt
and advise him of the fact. A member of the committee called his secretary, Mr. Loeb ,and asked when the
President could see them. It was then
nearly 3 o'clock.
"The President cannot see you between 3 and 6 o'clock," Mr. Loeb advised them, after conferring with the
President.
"Why not?" they demanded.
"He is busy," and Mr. Loeb hung
up  the receiver.
The President was busy. He was
talking football with Walter Camp
and Jack Owsley of Yale, Dr. Nicholas and Bill Reid of Harvard, and
John B. Fine and Arthur Hillebrand
of Princeton. Mr. Roosevelt had summoned these authorities to Washington
to discuss changes in playing rules
that would eliminate some of the
roughness that had resulted in too
many accidents the preceding season.

I. c. school news
W. D. Bayley of Canada, who has
been talking before young people's
groups in high school and young people's conferences in the state of Ohio,
talked to the grade school and the
high school in two separate programs
on Friday afternoon. Mr. Bayley's
talk presented the situation in regard
to the use of alcohol. Mr. Bayley
is very tactful in his presentation. His
statements were barjd on scientific
facts. The' students left the assembly
feeling that he had actually given information that was very beneficial.
We believe he made a good impression on the pupils of the school. He
was brought to North Canton under
the auspices of the Hi-Y club and the
school wishes to take this means of
expressing appreciation to them for
this splendid work.
Robert Keith, who represented
North Canton in the marble tournament that is being conducted in Stark
County, played the representative of
the Parochial school in North Canton
on Saturday. He won in this event
which entitles him to represent North
Canton in an inter-school contest to
be held on Saturday, June 6. He was
presented an award for the school
representative and also for the village
representative.
Ronald Harding represented North
Canton in the state scholarship contest in the subject of French. He was
entitled to this after placing in the
local school, county and district.
The work for the school year is
gradually coming to a climax. The
final examinations coming next week.

LETTERS TO THE SUN
Home Remedy-
Editor The Sun:
When the people of the United
States of America realize that the
present political ills of this country
are curable, that the heads of families
have the cure* in their own hands,
then will there be hope in every heart,
and light ahead.
Children should be brought up to
the realization of personal political
responsibility. When every person in
the land says, "What can I give," and
not "What can I get," then and then
only will we have a worthwhile government.
The idea of educating people for
political positions is splendid, but the
fundamental training must be in the
home; there must be ideals of honor,
truth and a desire for unselfish service.
A large newspaper reading public
in this country howls over conditions,
and does not lift hand nor voice in
any constructive work to better conditions; and has not for several generations.
These people say they do not know
where to begin, conditions are so bad!
Where are the real neighborhood
leaders—those who are equal to doing
a good piece of work ? Are they going
to stay in their easy chairs and growl
or get up and go out and stand
shoulder to shoulder with their kind,
deciding what to do and doing it, as
one man? We need a united country,
standing  for honesty  and fair  play.
North Canton. A CITIZEN.
"Fear Not Then"
As heaven and earth are not afraid,
and  never  suffer any  loss or harm,
even so, my spirit, fear not thou.
As day  and night are not afraid*
nor ever suffer loss or harm, even, so,
my spirit, fear not thou.
As sun  and  moon are not afraid,
nor ever suffer loss or harm, even so,
my   spirit,   fear   not   thou.—Ancient
VedicHymn.
THE bonus baby bonds, some two
billion dollars worth of them, will
bear the likeness of President Andrew Jackson. Secretary Morgenthau
said it would never do to use pictures
of Harding, Coolidge, Hoover and
Roosevelt, hecause they vetoed bonus
legislation; and so it may be appropriate to go back to Jackson in whoso
recorded utterances there is nothing
on the World War to which anybody
could take exception.
The only doubt as to the appropriateness of the selection results from
the fact that Jackson, during his administration, paid off the entire
national debt. For the last two years
he was in office, the United States
did not owe a cent—a situation that
had never before existed, and that has
never existed since.

Pyramid On Dollar
FROM a reader: Will The Sun be
good enough to tell me why the
picture of the pyramid appears on
the new one-dollar bills? Is it an old
fashion or a new one ? And does the
pyramid appear on all other bills or
only on the ones?
I shall be most grateful for any information. , A. W.
Answer: The pyramid with its associated words and devices appearing
on the new one-dollar silver certificates is a copy of the design adopted
for the reverse side of the great seal
of the United States by vote of Congress under the Articles of Confederation on June 20, 1782. The official description explained that "the pyramid

FORTHE HOME
Amateur Carpenters Can Make Fca
tures To Give Storage Space or
Add to Convenience.
Built-in features which will add to
the storage space or which will provide other conveniences in a home can
be easily constructed by most amateur
carpenters, according to the home
management specialists at Ohio State
University. The built-in features can
be covered to hide any defects of
carpentry.
A dressing table can be made by
bracing a board shelf against the wall
at a convenient height. It is then
covered with a gathered chintz, ere
tonne, or gingham flounce. Storage
space can be provided by building a
window seat, which is only a long
box with a hinged cover.
Homes in which room must be pro
vided for a number of boys can be
arranged so each boy has a space to
himself by building bunks for the
boys. If there is any distaste for
homeade beds, the boy might be reminded that Thomas Jefferson had
built-in bedsteads at Monticello. If
children must study in a room where
there is not space enough for a desk,
a wide, hinged shelf with legs that
pull out will make a good study table.
A simple thing like a rod for the
bedroom closet so that garments can
be hung on it from hangers will add
to the closet space. A tier of small
shelves placed quite high will take
care of shoes which otherwise would
be in the way on the closet floor. If
the family boasts someone who is
handy with tools, places can be designed for storing hats, sliding trays
for clothes can be made, or place*;
made for long mirrors.

The Biographer
THE wide interest taken in biographical work at present must be
regarded as a good sign. We are
told that truth is stranger than fiction; however this way be, it is often
more edifying, and occasionally quite
as picturesque. The novelist labors
under no such handicaps as those
which must be borne by the biographer, and, point for point, it must be
allowed that the latter's work compares very favorably with that of the
romancer.
Works of biography illustrate tho
advantages belonging to the historian
as compared with the story-teller.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the limitations imposed upon the writer who
deals in some sort his greatest assets.
He is by no means debarred by the
nature of his work rom the exercise
o his imagination. On the contrary,
it is the most serviceable instrument
in his repertory. It is a worth-while
biograper one ought to be a veritable
Sherlock Holmes in clairvoyant factfinding and mind-eading; doubled by
a Hans Holbein in perfection of
characterization. Moreover, he must
surelv be a scholar, and if he is also
a gentleman, so much the better.

STARK  COUNTY IS ACTIVE
The Gideons held their state convention in Akron on Saturday evening and all day Sunday. In point of
attendance and enthusiasm it was one
of the most successful ever held in
Ohio. According to the report of the

purpose of placing a Gideon Bible in
hotel  rooms in Akron.
Praise for Markley
Joseph M. Markley, Ohio State
president for two terms, asked to be
relieved of his duties after he learned
that a movement was on foot to
"draft" him. He assured the Gideons
that his heart is in the work and that
he will contribute everything within
his power to further the great work
the Gideons are doing.
A rising vote of thanks was given
Mr. Markley. Used as he is to words
of praise for his effective work in
many organizations, Joe actually
blushed when he heard the words of
commendation by national, state and
county leaders.

spirited contest.
Canton was represented by Mr. and
Mrs. Karl Gooseman and a number
of men and their wives from that
city.
North Canton was represented by
Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Swope. They sang
for the convention. Mrs. Eleanore
Hall, Miss Alberta Gilbert and Ben
Long were registered from North
Canton and like the Swopes attended
the churches and spoke for the Gideon

and the same were turned into the
national trej&uiy. »••

One of the high spots of the convention was the address of Samuel
Fulton, the president of a large manufacturing concern in Milwaukee. He
injects wit into his talks and incidentally a little pathos. His addresses
won instant recognition probably for
the reason that he radiates sunshine
the moment he approaches a group..
Convention High Spots
Mrs. Markley and her charming
daughter were in attendance and rendered valuable service.
Mrs. Karl Gooseman assisted her
husband and Karl placed his auto at
the service of the organization.
C. C. Linerode, commander of North
Canton American Legion Post, was on
the filing lino and did valiant service, ,
and had a part in the service of dedicating the Bibles.
President Joe Markley's retiring
address was no swan song. He vigorously stated that the Gideons "are
close to my heart and the incoming
president will receive from me earnest
support." Joe got a great reception,
and in the words of Karl Gooseman,
"He deserves it because he is a splendid character."
The service for the departed was a
solemn occasion.
Many good songsters and musicians were heard.
Miss Alberta Gilbert of The Community Christian church of North
Canton was the speaker in a large
Reformed church and received a fine
response.
The sessions were held in the Akron
Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
The hotels were extremely courteous and gave delegates every service
and consideration.
The Gideons, by the way, have no
salaried officers, and delegates and
their ladies travel at their own expense.
The pastors, superintendents and
members of the various churches were
extremely courteous. For which the
Gideons extend their sincere thanks.
It was in every way a great convention. Many men distinguished in
the business world were present, many
of them with their wives.
The new state president, W. W.
Bidgood of Cleveland isn't merely a
live wire, he is a full-blown power
house, and he has a staff any man
can be proud to call assistant.
