HAPPY TURNERS GREET POINCARE’S VISIT WELDS
AMERICA’S “FATHER JAHN”
Bundes Turnfest of North
American Gymnastic Union
Opens at Denver
&««aciated Press.)
DENVER. Col., June 26.—WhiTe the
thirty-first bundes turnfest, or Olym
piad* of the North American Gymnastic
union, which is holding forth in this
ci$y, was well launched yesterday with
tns arrival of the national officers and
other national figures in German cir
cles, it was not completed uijtil this
tnorning, when George Brosius. of Mil
waukee, eighty years old, the oldest
active instructor in the turnvereins of
America, and hailed as “father J?ihn of
America” by turners, arrived.
Surrounded by members of the turn
ing societies of Milwaukee, who accom
panied him, Mr. Brosius received felici
tations of the local committee and a
crowd that gathered at Union station
to greet this distinguished visitor and
his escort of trained athletes.
Mr. Brosius marched at the head of
the Milwaukee delegation.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century the first turner society was
foundeu in Germany hy Friederich Lud
wig Jahn, whose name has since been
handed down among devotees of health
giving exercise through the medium of
German turning societies, both in the
Fatherland and in America, as “Father
Jahn.” George Brosius, in early life in
his natiive land, became a disciple of
the philosopny of Father Jahn that a
healthy body produced a healthy mind,
and when he emigrated to this country
at once set about spreading the doctrine
and organizing societies in America to
put ther theory into practical use. Mr.
Brosius is the author of most of the
modern gymnastic exercises in use at
the present time in all the turnvereins
in America, and to him is assigned the
duty of formulating the athletic events
that make up the program of the Olym
piads of the North American Gymnastic
union.
At this bundes turnfest the honor
diploma for fifty years’ continuous
membership in turning societies will be
given to three “old reliables,” and to
morrow a reunion of the pioneers will
be held, at which these three will be the
honored guests.
All three are now residents of Den
ver and have their membership in the
East Denver turnvereins, but their
oiginal memberships were with eastern
turnvereins. They are Chistian Schaef
er, who joined a society in Chicago in
1852; Conrad Walbrach and John C.
Mayer, both of whom originally affiliated
with turnvereins chartered at Leaven
worth, Kan.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
(Special Dispatch to the Journal.)
ANNISTON. Ala., June 25.—Apropos
Df the renewed interest in the question
of good roads in this county, a move
ment is new under way to have the
next meeting of the Alabama Good
Roads association held in this city, the
selection of a place of meeting for this
year now being in the hands of the

seventeen years ago through the efforts
of Dr. T. W. Ayers, then editor of The
Daily Hot Blast.

BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—The
members of congress nave about te-
signed themselves, sadly and reluc
tantly, to the realization that they
must spend practically all of their time
in Washington from now on. It seems
to be coming more and more the fixed
policy for legislative sessions to be
well-night continuous.
Senators and representatives are
awakening to the fact that the people
don’t care a rap whether it is exces
sively hot in summer and extremely
cold in winter in Washington. The
physical discomfort of “their representa
tives in congress doesn’t worry the peo
ple who send them here. Indeed, some
members are beginning to suspect that
the people rather like the idea of hav
ing congress on the job continuously,
and delight in the knowledge that cli
matic conditions in Washington are far
from pleasant.
There are millions of people in Amer
ica who believe that the congressional
salary of $7,500 a year, with perqui
sites, more than compensates the aver
age representative or senator, not only
for physical discomforts, but also for
all the service they render the govern
ment.
UNDERWOOD’S COMPENSATION.
It is true probably that the average
member of congress is fairly well paid,
services and ability considered. There
are, however, numerous instances that
might be cited to prove that some sen
ators and representatives are underpaid
for their work. The United States con
gress as a whole is a body of able men,
many of whom are capable of earning
much more than $7,500 a year. It is
undoubtedly true that there are men in
both the senate and the house who
never earnecj $7,500i|a year before com
ing to congress, and who will never
earn that much after they leave con
gress, so that the compensation, based
on a general average, may be fair.
But does any one suppose for an in
stant that Representative Oscar W.
Underwood, of Alabama, Democratic
leader in the house, chairman of the
ways and means committee and author
of the tariff bill, is well paid for the
services he performs for the country?
Certainly hot. If Mr. Underwood had
devoted the time and study to the law
that he h^s to public affairs and if
he worked half as hard at the practice
of that profession as he works in con
gress, his annual income would be
muph nearer to $50,000 than $7,500.
Coming nearer home, the case of Sen
ator Hoke Smith illuminate^ the point
quite as clearly and more interestingly.
Before the senator entered politics in
Georgia, it is understood that his an
nual income from the practice. of law
was around $30,00^0 or $35,000. Some
times it exceeded the latter figure.
With his election to the senate, Mr.
Smith retired from the practice of law
entirely. He gave up an average in
come of $35,000 a year to accept a sal
ary of $7,500 a year. He did this volun
tarily, of Course, because he had an
ambition to serve in the United States
senate.
HOKE SMITH’S SALARY
The case of Senator Smith was sin
gled out because the writer believes
that he is familiar with the work the
senator is doing in Washington, and ne
knew something of the demands upon
his time before he came to Washing
ton.
As a lawyer, earning $35,000 a year,
Mr. Smith didn’t devote one-half the
time to his work that he has devoted
to the public service since he came to
Washington. The same amount of en
ergy applied by the senator to the prac
tice of his profession would, 1 believe,
bring him an income much in excess of
$50,Q00 a year. The estimate is a fair
one, when it is considered that with
half the work he earned $35,000 a year.
When Mr. Smith was practicing law
in Atlanta, he at least had his njghts
for himself and family. Also, he had
some time for travel, and it was possi
ble for him to turn away from his
profession to help the public school
syst :m of Atlanta and Georgia, and to
take a lively interest in tne local affairs
of Atlanta. Moreover, it was possible
for a newspaper reporter to reach him
occasionally, if not for an interview—
he rarely gave tliem--for the facts con
cerning litigation in wide* 1 he was in
volved as counsel.
Senator Smith hasn’t had an hour he
could call his own, save when he has
slept, since he came to Washington. He
has worked night and day—from 9
o’clock in the morning until midnight
or \1 o’clock the following morning. He
has been on the run constantly. No
member of the finance committee has
devoted more study to the provisions of
the tariff bill than he; no member is
more familiar with its provisions, their
details and general effect.
He has earned certainly the salary
he receives from the government.
CONGRESSIONAL SESSIONS.
Since March 15, 1909, when Presi
dent Taft called congress in extra ses
sion to revise the tariff, which result
ed in the passage of the fateful Payne-
Aldrich bill, congress has been in Wash
ington more than two-thirds of the
time. Taft's first extra session contin
ued for 144 days, and his second extra
session — the reciprocity sessioff—last
ed for 141 days, from March 4 to Au
gust 22, 1911.
The present extra session, with cur
rency injected by President Wilson, in
addition to the tariff, promises to run
far into the fall. It will certainly have
a longer life than did either of Taft's
special sessions.
It is the belief of many persons that
the session will continue through Octo
ber, md may continue until the regu
lar “long session” begins in December.
With the tariff and the currently ques
tions oqt : o'f the Way, it might appear
that congress would have little to keep
It in Washington. But that is not the
case. There are other great public
questions demanding consideration, ana
they must be handled. Then, too, the
tariff question never dies, and it may
bob up at most any old time.

OF PHILIPPINE SOCIETY
Resident Commissioner of
Philippine Congress Quits
Society
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 26.—Manuel
Quezon, resident commissioner for the
Philippine Islands’ congress. has re
signed from the executive committee of
the Philippine society and also as a
member, because he is not in sympathy
with the announced purposes of the
society nor with the course he says
that has been pursued by the society’s
officers and members in the islands’
affairs.
Former President Taft is the hon
orary president of the organization, and
the active president is General Luke
Wright, former governor general of-the
islands. The headquarters are in New
York.
Quezon in his letter of resignation
writes that he joined the society with
the honest belief that he could aid in
the promotion of its announced purpose
“to create a more sympathetic interest
between the American and Filipino
people.”
He soon suspected, he goes on to say,
that the real object was to create a
public opinion in favor of the indefinite
retention of the islands by the United
States.

[SON SIGNS SUNDRY
APPROPRIATION BILL
President Disapproves Clause
Exempting Labor Unions
From Prosecution
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. June 26.—President
Wilson late yesterday signed tne sundry
civil appropriation bill, with a statement
declaring that he would have vetoed, if
he could, the provision in it exempting
labor unions and farmers’ organizations
from prosecution under a certain $300,-
000 fund designated for operation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
The president characterized the ex
emption as “unjustifiable in charac
ter and principle,” but called atten
tion to the fact that the department
of justice possessed other funds with
which to enforce the anti-trust law.
The urgent need of various govern
ment departments for funds appropri
ated by the bill influenced the presi
dent to speedy action on the meas
ure. The bill carried $116,000,000 in
appropriations and was vetoed by Mr.
Taft March 4. because of the labor
exemption clause.
iWhen the bill was reintroduced and
passed by both houses in identical form
by the present congress, this provision
was the subject of sharp debate.
