COURT EXPANSION
Urged By Illinois Big Biz Is
Opposed By Labor
Chicago.—Trade unionists are wag
ing a vigorous campaign against
adoption of the new state constitu
tion. The increased power of the ju
diciary is the target for bombardment
by the workers who denounce efforts
to place the state under the control
of an oligarchy of nine individuals
serving as the state supreme court.
"There was no public demand made
upon the constitutional convention to
grant unlimited powers to the courts,"
declares Victor A. Olander, secretary
treasurer of the Illinois State Federa
tion of Labor.
"Neither the newspapers of the
state, the farmers, manufacturers, nor
workers offered any suggestion that
the discretionary powers of judges be
increased.
."Who inspired this action? The
trail leads straight into the lair of the
Morgan interests in Wall street. The
scheme was first proposed by a
spokesman of those interests in the
person of Elbert H. Gary, of the
steel trust.
"In a statement he presented before
the American Bar Association at its
meeting in Boston, September 5, 1919,
four months before the constitutional
convention of Illinois began its ses
sions, Judge Gary said:
"A court of equity should have, if
necessary, enlarged powers of pre
ventive remedy. UNLIMITED BY
STATUTORY PROVISIONS.
"The Gary scheme has been worked
out in detail by the constitutional
convention and is now being offered to
the citizens of Illinois as a part of the
new proposed basic law."

landed aristocracy" in the recent
election, according to Benjamin C.
Marsh, of Washington, managing
director of the farmers' national
council.
"In 1920 about 38 per cent of the
farmers were tenants and by 1930
probably one-half will be tenants,"
said Mr. Marsh. He said the federal'

GAME BUHANCE
New Yorker's Explanation of
Origin of Ice-Cream Soda.
Customer Who Insisted on Cooling
Drink Credited With the Invention
of the Popular Beverage.
This Is the day and generation of
the soda-fountain feeders. With pro
hibition has come the rapid rise of
the sandwich section of the marble
bar, the lunch that Is quick but not
free. The soda fountain has covered
the country along with the car, the
phonograph and the film. They have
all been accepted. It seems, as among
the greatest of life's safe improve
ments.
Of the whole lot, tflfe soda foun
tain has shown the greatest recent
change. An interesting sequel to the
eighteenth amendment is a definite
demand for the installation of a milk
pump In the middle of every modern
fountain. With the milk pump has
come the urn and a demand for fresh
brewed coffee, for fresh orange juice,
and for stacks of assorted sand
wiches. The latest soda fountain has
more attachments than an automo
bile.
But despite all these minor addi
tions a soda fountain Is still a soda
fountain and not a restaurant, or a
fruit stand, or a coffee counter. Tlijse
have not Interfered with Its main
mission. It still does its biggest
business in the sale of those original
American concoctions commonly
called soft drinks, remarks a writer
in the New York Sun.
Not so long ago there was no such
thing as an Ice-c-eam soda. The
pride of a first-class fountain was not
In the number of its sirup pumps nor
in Its Jars of crushed fresh fruit.
Rather was rank gauged by the num
ber of kinds of mineral water kept
on draft. Plain charged water was
not served out as vichy or seltzer or
anything else a customer happened to
ask for.
"The soda clerks of today don't
know any better, most of them," said
an old-timer. "They think all car
bonated water Is about the same
thing.
"Why, one place on Broadway must
have had eight or ten mineral waters
on draft all the time. Vichy and
KIssingen. Kaiser and Seltzer, Deep
Rock, half a dozen others. They came
in by the barrel, mostly from Sara
toga.
"Every place else had them, too.
The older stores, the bar at the Hoff
man house, the Fifth Avenue hotel,
the Victoria, the Imperial, the Albe
marie. It was the regular thing to
take a couple of glasses of mineral

water or soda, of even phosphate,
which was then rated as a tonic, In
the rrornlng.
"This demand for an early drink
was the thing that led to the discov
ery of Ice-cream soda. Of course,
Philadelphia claims that Ice-cream
soda was Invented down there, and
went so far as publicly to give Robert
Green credit for starting it. They
gave him the credit after he was dead.
But they can hardly make a clear
case, and I hold to the Eighth avenue
version of Its Invention. New York
has just as good a claim.
"The thing was entirely accidental.
Early in the morning a customer came
Into a lower Eighth avenue drug store
and asked for a glass of soda. The
proprietor apologized because he had
no Ice, and offered a plate of Ice
cream Instead.
"That was no substitute for the
thing wanted. The customer wanted
soda, and Insisted that the Ice cream
be put Into it If there was no Ice
available. That was done. The re
sult was remarkable, and Ice cream
soda has been spreading over the
country ever since.
"Sundaes are a modi later Idea.
The sale of them began, I think, by
an effort to evade in a legal manner
the old Sunday closing laws, when Ice
cream parlors were not open. Drug
stores were generally not closed, and
here Ice cream was camouflaged and
sold as a 'sundae.'
"But nobody ever believed that sit
ting at a soda fountain would take
rank as a great popular diversion all
over the United States. In less than
one generation that has happened.
Times change."
REFUSED T(f REMAIOOWN
Lesson for Those in Danger of Giving
Up, Gleaned From History of
Harvey Allen.
Down and out at the age of sixty,
yet happy and prosperous a year or
two later—such is the experience de
scribed in Nelson Andrews' thiuly
veiled bit of autobiography entitled
"Finding Youth," recently issued by
the Atlantic Monthly press, remarks
Success.
There is something appealingly hu
man about the story, for the failure of
the central character, Harvey Allen, is
the failure of thousands, and his suc
cess, the success that unfortunately too
many overlook. Being unconsciously
backward in his methods, as well as
slightly superannuated, Allen was dis
charged from the printing plant where
he had labored for years, and thereaf
ter for many days his life consisted
of aimless wanderings in search of
work, while his spirits were constant
ly dropping and his bank account fell
almost to the zero point. At last he
was in sheer despair he was shabby
looking and his self-confidence had van
ished utterly he was forced to bury
what remained of his pride and apply
for a position as janitor. But even
here he was refused, and once again
he roamed the streets with the haras
sing knowledge that for the sake of
his wife as well as of himself, he must
find work within a day or iwo.
Then something from within him
seemed to give him a sudden jolt It
was as if a subconscious voice was
speaking, he discovered that he had
been bent and old, but that he could
stand straight if he would make the ef
fort, that he could stand straight not
only physically but intellectually and in
his relations with other men. He could
still succeed, could still accomplish
things, if he could free himself from
the grip of the withering spirit of old
age the world would still be before
him, opening up boundless new and
glorious horizons, If he could regain
his youthfulness of soul, If he could
have courage, be "venturesome, pro
gressive, optimistic, creative." Above
all, what he needed was not to be
afraid of adventure, not to be afraid
of living, or daring, of doing fresh and
untried things.
In pursuance of these new ideas,
Allen adopted the expedient of leav
ing his native New York and of ap
plying for a position in a small New
Jersey town. He applied smilingly
and with the utmost self-confidence,
feeling that he would get the job—
and he did get It. What is more, he
speedily rose until he was virtually at
the head of the new concern then,
having established himself and his wife
comfortably in New Jersey, he gained
wide publicity for his Ideas concern
ing youthfulness and success, and ulti
mately accepted an offer to go to Cal
ifornia to become the head of a
"Youthland" colony modeled in ac
cordance with his theories. Today he
is living a useful, happy and highly
successful life, honored and respected
by hundreds of his fellows, when with
a little less determination or self-con
fidence he might be roaming the
streets of New York in rags, one of
the great army of homeless derelicts.
Tit for Tat.
This young woman has an apart
ment, and the young man a roadster.
Last winter they spent most of their
evenings sitting by her cozy fireplace.
But this summer they have spent them
in his roadster.
The other evening he said at the
end of a long drive: "I can hardly
wait for cold weather to come. It Is
so much more pleasant for me to sit
beside your cozy fireplace and—"
"Oh," she interrupted him coolly.
"That is because you don't have to
fret over a gasoline bill, then. But I
Just want you to know I worried as
much about my coal bill then as yon
do now over your gas bill for your old
car."
There was silence for a few min
utes, and then he said in a mocking
voice: "Yes, I agree, but It's much
more comfortable to fret and sweat
In winter."

PUEBLO SCOUTING ON ITS FEET
When last summer's flood disaster
overtook the city of Pueblo it looked
as if scouting would suffer locally for
want of funds to carry on the work
But the contrary has been true. Not
only was a considerable sum donated
immediately by scout troops all over
the country, but the city of Pueblo it
self has stood solidly behind the move
ment to the extent of providing a fund
of $S,000 for the 1922 work, a backing
which was won, more than a little,
by the remarkable heroic service of
the local scouts during the disaster.
