Can America Claim the Great Divine Sarah

Special to the Sun from Minneapolis reports a doubtful tale about Sarah Bernhardt born in Rochester Iowa and raised by the Finefield family. It claims kin to Mary King of Minneapolis and links Bernhardt to a traveling Uncle Tom’s Cabin troupe in Muscatine. The piece notes disputed parental and early life details and cites a Rochester tavern keeper as asserting the lineage.

A People's Lobby for Honesty and Decency

Washington July 6 A movement seeks to form a national people’s lobby to monitor legislation and legislators. Roosevelt reportedly approves the plan, envisioning a paid, nonpartisan office in Washington with a manager and staff to inform the public which bills and officials deserve support or scrutiny. The idea mirrors Chicago’s Municipal Voters’ League and would press for a national league to clean up Congress, funded by voluntary subscriptions.
