FOR HARDING AND CUMMINS.
Davenport Times.l

Discussing the senatorship in Iowa,
one of the newspapers supporting
Claude r. Porter the democrat nomi-
ee-handpicked. by the way, and not
chosen at n primary election-one of
the papers says: This is no time for
sticking fast to old partisan lines in
state affairs, no matter how we may
feel toward the national situation"
The inference here is that electing
United States senator In Iowa is
purely "state affair" and has Moth
ing to do with the national admins
tration.
Any person who will stop to think
la moment will see that 1t will be fol-
ly for Iowa to cast great vote for
Harding for president, as it most
time sending to the senate a republic
can who win help Harding carry out
the policies which he stands for in
this campaign. 1t would be foolish to
say, II am for Harding for president.
but l am going to vote for a senator
who will tie his hands The only
logical thing Is to vote both for
Harding and Cummins so that the
senate may be safely republican and
so that Harding can carry out the
policies for which the republican
party stands.
In some parts Of the state an at
tempt is being made to revive the
old Misrepresentation OF the facts
heard so much before the June pri-
mary to the effect that the new rail-
way bin contains a guarantee under
(which, II the railway income fails to
equal So per cent. the railways may
go to the United States treasury and
collect the difference. The railways
Ibid that under government control,
| did 1t to the amount Of $100, 900 900 a
month. But under the new law which
Senator Cummins helped to write
they are not permitted to do that.
The hand in-the-treasury business
was stopped. The railways have to
lget along as best they can with the
rates allowed them by the interstate
commerce commission. If the rates
/ do not produce the estimated income,
1.-THE railways are the losers-not the
| United States treasury.
The railways and the government
are thus divorced. and yet the people
retain control over the rates thru the
! commerce commission whose busi-
ness it is to fix just rates, according
| to the costs faced by the roads. A
! fair deal is provided, and that is all
! that any one can demand. Senator
! Cummins wisely avoided any pro-
vision which guarantees railway
earnings.

TINE MOST WONDERFUL OF AL.

When you incline to fuss over the
telephone service, when she has re-
Piled several times that "the line is
busy" and wild words spring un-
hidden to your lips, just stop and
take notice that this country has the
best telephone service in the world
and the most of it.
You know. how easy it is tc '.get'
almost anybody in Iowa ION the
phone don't you? Nearly every
person in the state is within reach
of your voice by telephone. Yes it
sometimes seems that she isn't as
active in getting" as she should be
and perhaps there are instances the
charge is just referring to the charge
against "long distance" not to the
toll. But the fact remains that we
do get our person Nearly always
and pretty soon taking everything in
to considerations
1t isn't so in other countries. "Over
there" the telephone is like the auto
mobile, some folks have them. Work
ing people do not. Businessmen of
course have the phone in their bust
ness places but very large pcopor-
ton of them do not have a house
phone Bankers go without house
phones in England. Over here you
can "get" John Jones, farmer six
miles from Hawarden or William
Henry Brown, eight miles south OF
Shenandoah while you'd be getting
a business office across town over
there.
Every stop to think about the way
those wires tie us together individ-
ually, by neighborhoods, counties,
states and from ocean to ocean and
gulf to lakes? Ever think what won
derful thing it is? And contemplate
ing the vast net work of that woven
sheet of wires that covers the CONT
nent, isn't it rather wonderful and a
tribute to our American efficiency
that we get the service we do get?
Then this telephoning isn't all in
the long distance office or on the
switchboard. We are in it. Our
selves. They say that only about one
in six of us has a good telephone
voice" Then some of us are getting
little deaf. We do you know as we
fall toward the sere and yellow Then
too they say that some of us want to
yell into the phone as tho we were
actually talking across the distance
and that the farther it is the louder
We yell. Also that when "the line Is
busy just as like as not it has been
busy for a half hour while Algernon
and Maize mush over it or Mrs. Blank
and Mrs. Soandso talk things over,
and things like that.
They say also that the job Of oper-
ator is a pretty nervous one. That
the girls would be as cranky as we
are sometimes if their jobs didn't
depend on their manner. Yes, they
listen in some times they say but if it
was mighty interesting perhaps you'd
lend an ear under the same circum-
stances We are grown so accus-
toned to the telephone that we fail
to appreciate it. We just demand it
and take 1t as we do sunshine and
daybreak and rain and the recurrent
seasons. We don't realize it but Just
accept it. Nevertheless it is a Won
derfui and marvellous thing, the tele-
phone and its qualifications and, it's

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16.-By following
the ball closely Penn defeated Lafayette
to-day on Franklin Field to o. before

break that was forced by the Red and
Blue gave Coach Heisman's team the
victory.
In the middle of the third period, with
the teams battling away in Lafayette
territory, Mike Gazella tried to get
around left end but fumbled and Joe
St'aus, the Texan, scooped up the ball
on the run and raced twenty-five yards

goal which brought JOY to thousands OF

EBBETS Is CALLED
IN BALL SCANDAL
Brooklynite, Frazee and Roth
stein Will Testify i'm Chi
cago Tuesday.

Special Despatch 20 THE NEW York HERALD
CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-two baseball club
owners-Harry Frazee of the Boston
Red Sox and Charles II. Ebbets of the
BrooISlyns-have been summoned be-
fore the Grand Jury investigating the
scandal of the national pastime and
have signifed their willingness to APP
pear next Tuesday, when the inquiry
Will be resumed.
The exact nature OF the testimony
expected from the two was not dis
closed, but II was reported that to
the earlier tales of throwing games
they would add reports they had re-
ceived of crookedness.
Hartley l.. Replogle, Assistant States
Attorney in charge of the examination
Of the witnesses, denied that the APP
pearance OF Mr.. Ebbets had any con-
nection with the reports that Ivan
Olson had won large sums of money
on major league games.
There has teen no evidence intro
duced before the Grand Jury that any
members OF the Brooklyn team were in
any way connected with the framing of
baseball games" was the emphatic as
sertion Of the prosecutor.
With Ebbets and Frazee will appear
Arnold Rothstein, New York gambler,
whose tremendous plunging in many
fields of chance has made him a spec
tacular figure in the sporting world
Abe Attell, the former boxer, who is
reputed to have made a cleanup on the
crooked series. is said to have used
Rothstein's name IN putting over his
deals.
1t is believed Rothstein will deny he
had any part in the gigantic frame-up
by which thousands of fans were
swindled and the game was soiled. One
report was that Rothstein lost huge
sum betting on the players who had
conspired 10 throw the series.
A report around the Grand Jury rooms
was that Ernie Fuchs. attorney for
Rothstein, was negotiating with the
States Attorneys offive for an ''im-
munity bath" for his client. Attaches
OF tho States Attorneys o. ice declined
to discuss the report. Ban Johnson also
has been requested to appear before
the Jury again.
Others summoned were Harry Red
mond of East st. Louis. Joseph Beach
and Thomas c. Kearney OF st. Louis.
who, according to reports in the Grim
inal Courts Building. were named by
Kid Gleason, White Sox manager, as
men whose names had been given TO
him In reports of the frame-up.
