Militant Woman.

At Fourth and L streets wednes-
day evening there was quite a large
crowd.
This crowd was looking at Beatrice
Reed and her hubby.
Beatrice had him by the collar. hold
ing him until she could find a cop to
have him locked up.
Her hubby had hit her. she said,
and she wanted vengence.
But instead OF hubby getting arrest
ed, Beatrice was the one who was
arrested.
Policeman Bremmerman came along
He saw that Beatrice was disorderly.
She had her helpless husband by the
collar, humiliating him.
The husband was a railroad man.
He was about to go on duty and
rather than let him escape after hit
ting her, Beatrice decided to take
matters in her own hands.
But you have no right to carry on
like that In the street." the court said
to her. And BESIDES" continued the
court, 'it is not very nice to air your
domestic troubles in the street"
go on home now and behave your
self" the court finished, "and don't
let me hear of any more of this dis
graceful conduct"

By THE OBSERVER.

A man told US recently that our
article on Pastors and Politics and
religious politics hit the mark. He
was a pastor himself, so we guess
we will accept the verdict. Did any
one disagree?
The New York World played a fine
game on Champ Clark-after goading
him on to make a political speech 1t
criticised him for doing so. We'n
wager Champ doesn't care q rap
what that organ says.
Politicians are about to say fare
well to the legislative selection of
Senators. The last men selected in
that manner are before the people
this year for re-election-tat they face
the people this time.
With the coming OF the summer and
the revenue bill. members of Con-
gress recall that State conventions of
their political parties are also to be
held. And how they do long for in
dorsements at those affairs. Oh-h-h.
In tackling the revenue bill the
WIN DC IA a pOSlllOIl
than when they attacked the first
war revenue measure. They have
learned something now which they
certainly will not be afraid to put
into practice in their second attempt.
Representative Kahn Is so we'll satis-
fed with the outlook for a return to
the same seat he now fills that he
doesn't propose to spend much money
to get 1t. While in other districts
We know OF. the money will have
to be spent freely-and then maybe
the members will fail to get their re-
wards.
Does anyone think William Alden
Smith would consider running against
Henry Ford for the Senate? No, in
deed. Senator Smith Is to retire at
the end Of his present term II Mr..
Ford gets here all right.
The heat of the past two or three
days has enabled the members to
get into shape for the summer.
While some OF them will leave for
the mountains and the seashore,
more of them will remain here than
were on hand last summer. And all
because this fall the people will re-
view their records.
One of Senator Sheppard's hob
bies is never to miss a roll-call.
Sometimes, though. some OF his
constituents think he might just
as well have been absent. That is
one result Of being regular"
The Food Administration is seek
ing a snug appropriation, but there
have no objectors appeared on the
surface so far to endanger the pas
sage of the appropriation. The
general belief Is that the admins
tration OF the appropriation under
Mr.. Hoover's leadership has done
a great work and Congress seems
anxious to help it continue.
II a commission is to help Russia
out OF the dumps the work will be
undertaken this time on a sympa-
thetic basis. The majority will not
be confounded with the small men
sheviki, or minority. That is what
played hob with us before.
Noticing headings in the papers
about a Pennsylvania election we
are led to belieye-as a last resort
that Senator Penrose's interest in
that State kept him there, when
he could have been present at the
Capitol, on public business.

Marie said she'was about to look
for job-but she was nearsighted
and couldn't see any.
Policewoman Mrs. Farling looked
up the pair and found that she had
been told q bunch of fibs by these
two in regard to what they were
doing and where they came from.
Leslie was very sassy to the
judge. She acted like q tough guy.
She wouldn't even answer the
court when 1t asked her. civil
question. She was defiant.
Marie wasn't quite as bad as her
companion-but they both consider
ed the affair q Joke.
Neither one Of them is yet twenty
one and have more the appearance
of school girls than Ninth street
butterflies.
Judge Mullowny handed them

A guest at q Pennsylvania avenue
hotel went to look for his liquor the

That didn't do any good, because
Pearl Wilson, a chambermaid, had
taken the booze and drunk it her
self.
She strutted on out Of the hotel
after finding this gold mine.
She landed in Peacock Alley, which,
by the way, has no reference to the
Willard or any other hotel.
1t Is Just an ordinary alley. Just
where 1t got that name We are at
loss to know.
Policeman Adams discovered Pearl
leaning against a wall, breathing very
hard.
She had taken an overdose Of good
old Bourbon and 1t was getting in
its work.
Adams took her to the lookup and
let her sleep of the jag.
While Pearl was asleep the hotel
guest had one Of the bell-boys pour
buckets of ice water down his throat
to prevent the flames from spreading.
Pearl told the court she would
never try 1t again. And the court
said that once was sufficient and
fined her $25-or thirty days.

ROUNDUP CHAMPS
TO DEFEND TITLE

Pendleton, Or, Aug. 2S.-All three
OF the winners in the Roundup
bucking contests last year will be
back this year to compete again for
the championship.
Yakima 'Canutt, who won the
championship of the world last year
by three sensational rides, is ~" l
the ordnance department of the navy,
but has written that he has been
granted furlough to come back to de-
fend his title. Broncho Bob Hall,
who won second honors last year, is
already back after spending several
months cowboying in FINLAND with
Doug Fairbanks and Bill Hart. Dave
White, winner of third last year, has
sent word down from Canada that he
is in the best form of his career and
is coming back to win the title.
Though many familiar faces will
be missing among the Roundup per-
formers this year, because they are
now "over there" there promises to
be no shortage of material for many
Of the euntests. Many of the little
Wild West shows have gone out of
existence and the Pendleton Round
Up, staged this year as a benefit for
the Red Cross, is attracting from a
wider radius than ever before.
