Congress Colorado

Why shouldn't a congressman
especially when that congressman is
also newspaperman and the first
of his tribe to be chosen by the peo-
pie of Colorado to represent them in
the national congress-make a report
to his constituents just as an y other
employe gives an accounting of his
stewardship to his employer? There
are lot of mighty interesting things
down here in the capitol of this glo-
rious republic of ours, which SO per
cent of the people know nothing;
scores of petty graft and some great
big eNtravagances: giants serving
their country for pittance and the
pure love of the work, and pigmies
strutting around a few hours of tenn
porary authority; patriots and poll
ticians rubbing elbows and being
constantly mistaken one for the 9TH
er. In a word, the great American
drama is being acted here on a stage
worthy of the worlds most stupen-
dous histrionic event And as con-
gressman from the imperial common
wealth of Colorado, am given par
of the stars. and occasionaly-just
occasionally, mind you-treated to a
peep behind the scenes.
That is a situation calculated to
make one forget that he is a con-
gressman and to remember that he is
a newspaperman with an eye trained
to see and a mind accustomed to
recording what the eye has observed.
All of which quite naturally leads to
the question with which | introduced

There will be large number of

The fame of Ed Walsh. Harry Lord.
and other stars of the team Ia, literally
spread through the West. Southwest. and
Northwest. And to see these men per-
form is one OF the desires of the true
Westerners.
In taking a party Of personal friends
on the trip Comiskey cements relations
between his club and Chicago's fandom.
He also ingratiates himself into the good
wishes OF the various municipal depart
ments Of the city by his hearty welcome
to employees OF different branches Of the
city's affairs.
Comiskey has other methods-and good
methods, too, of advertising himself He
does not believe in granting bank presi-
dents salaries to his ball players, pre-
ferring to make them a present at the
close of each season, providing they do
satisfactory work.
For instance:
At the close of the 1872 season he made
a present Of 81. 900 to each of Ed. Walsh's
two children.
The news Of that gift travelled to all
parts of the globe where baseball is
known as a game and to some sections
where the SPORT was never heard Of. The
gift was an extremely pleasant one TO
the star of the clubs pitching staff and
served as a preventive for possible mis-
understandings over the 1918 contract.
And:
These-few illustrations should serve as
proof that Comiskey is in a class by him
self as a good and generous advertiser.
