The Glasgow News records a singu-
lar incident during lawn tennis tie.
The two players, who may be term
ed A and B, were very evenly match
ed. The game was long, and some
times one ald sometimes the other
narrowly led. At length when A was
within a stroke Of defeat he returned
ball softly, and it looked as If his
fate was sealed. So it would have
been, but just at that moment a bird
few across the court in a line parallel
with the ball.
As all good tennis players can well
understand. B mistook the bird for
the ball and smashed" at it vigorous
ly. It swiftly rose and he missed it
by feathers breadth, and ere he
could recover his balance the ball had
dropped on his court.
This stroke proved the turning point
in the tie, as A thereafter played up
strongly and ran out winner.

fuddle the varsity men.
The varsity boys, who have been
practieing both afternoon and evening

TO all the advantage possible against
their heavier opponents.

the necessity Of having channel which
would permit the largest sea vessels to
reach Portland, and insisted it was a
matter of vast Importance to the state
at large and the Willamette valley in
particular. He declared that all should

said in Hamburg a canal SO miles long

greatest ports in the world. Montreal

length:
tfIf this was California, instead Of
Oregon, there would be a call for a spe-

would appropriate 100000 to deep

FrightfuI State Expense.

In letter in the Evening Wisconsin
Ellis B. Usher calls attention to por-
ton of the first message of Robert M.
LaFollette, as governor of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Usher says:
''The increase in the succeeding thir-
teen years, from an average of So, 800,
900 year, in the decade to which the
governor then referred, to an annual
expense of over $4,000, 900 is, in the
language of the street, going some.
Instead of an increase of so per cent it
is an increase of about 900 per cent.
The biennial cost of the state in 1928
was ST, 947. 400 For the current bien-
NAL period it was $36, 29S, 030, or almost
five times as great.
The scale of So, 300, 900 of annual ex-
penditure Governor LaFollette pro
nounced extravaganza But what has
happened since? The amount has in
creased to over $18, 000,0 900 or nearly
$4,000, 900 more for two years than tn;
expenditure of ten years that were de
nounced as extravagant at the begin
. ming of the present era of political re
form in this state.

The Lesson Of It.

There is tremendous lesson for the
people in the Sulzer case. That lesson
relates to the folly unfortunately too
often committed-of taking at his own
estimation the mushroom 'reformer,
all of whose past affiliations and activ
tiles cry trumpet ongued against the
sincerity and unselishness of his pro-
testations.
In the case of William Sulzer this
folly was unspeakable The mans rec
ord was plain as an open book. He had
been Crocker's tool as speaker of the
New York assembly; he had been the
willing servant of Tammany during
many terms in congress. For % years
this man has been water-carrier, IN
his own interest, to the most notorious
conspiracy against decent government
that the country holds.
Yet when William Sulzer, bent on
larger rewards than those which Tam
many could guarantee, gave ear to the
triumphant democratic movements of
the hour and suddenly became their
champion in the interests of office, the
people acclaimed his conversion" and
hailed him as their leader in the fight
to redeem the state of New York.
If the people of this country need to
have their eyes opened to just one thing
at this time it is that infinitely worse
in his influence than the old political
''boss," with all his frank explorations
of the people, is the political leader
of the hour, who, under the cloak of
progress" and reform" swindles
the people into playing his own and
anti-public game. Free Press.

A MADISON dispatch says the state
factory inspectors have been watching
the pea canneries of the state during
the canning season and as result a
number of the pea Gamers are to be
arrested for violating the labor laws.
Of course it is the duty of the states
behring's to put the law upon every one
where a possible violation can be de
tected. 1t makes no difference if in
the rush season an employs might work
a few moments overtime employer
should be punished to the limit of the
law. The policy of the state seems to
be to drive these industries outside of
Wisconsin. A few more legislatures
like the recent ones would complete
the Job.
