Other conference openers were
played Saturday, and no unusual VIC
tories were evident, with the possible
exception of the win by Bethany from
Friends.
With only one letter man eligible
for play, Coach Guy c. Omer of

The Sward to Shilling or Olson COM
bination appears many times in the
final summary.
The showing made by Coach Gwin
c. Henry's Emporia college men
against the Aggies, may bode i'll for
future conference opponents of the
Presbyterians. The final score was Z
to 3, Aggies, but the winning touch
down was not made until the last
quarter. The Emporians fought hard,
and consistently. Coach Bachman. of
the Aggies. used play after play in an
effort to get down the field, but not
until the last quarter did the superior
training and weight of the Aggies
make a touchdown possible.
Kansas Normals. also from En-
poria. won a II to 0 victory from St.
Mary's Saturday. The Normal win
was made possible by steady batter
ing of the light ST Marys line.
While young Dutch Lonborg
was playing star football for Kansas

watching his Mcpherson men take
their second defeat of the season at
the hands of Paramount college. The
final count was "a to 0. The McPher-
son youngsters have not yet absorbed
football. Playing their first year in
the conference they are liable to a
stage fright that should not be pro-

His Lecture on Economy
Fairly Shakes the Bureau Officers

That session was memorable. The Presi-
dent said a few words of introduction, and
Gen Dawes cut loose with lecture to these
staid and conventional bureau officers that
fairly showed them off their chairs Gen.
Dawes drove home to every one Of those
officials the idea that he is going to have
Government economy or bust in the attempt
The President was behind him in every
move and told these officials so.
This preliminary was followed up with
the formal get together meeting later OF
tie budget officers designated to deal with
the budget bureau over which the President
again presided and announced that the
whole power of the Government is back of
Gen. Dawes in his economy programme. So
much for the preliminaries. The budget
system has begun functioning at full speed
All of this was done In record time by a
man who is not physically impressive de-
spite his great height and big frame. The
Director is well over six feet and weighs
more than 200. His features are small but
rather sharp Attention to them is bound
10 centre on his wide and piercing gray eyes
that snap with the vitality of his quick
action. With IL ALL in shirt sleeves IN his
office with a pair of old fashioned galluses
over his shoulders, the General does not
look impressive. but when he went into
action before the assemblage that included
every executive officer Of the Government
from the highest to the lowest his force
and his personality were overwhelming.
The Budget Director got results in that
meeting He took entire charge of the bust
ness orphan and the administration economy
programme. and he means, he says to get
results on them.

the expense involved in keeping his political
fences intact. He is the natural object of
approach by religious, charitable and social
organizations within his district when funds
are to be raised. Public spirited enterprises
are not complete unless the Representative
is included in the contributing list
But this does not include all of the flnan-
cial tribulatons of the Congressman. Wash
ington is the place where the high cost of
living has reached its last word. The Repre-
sentative must live in keeping with the
dignity of his position. Washington land
lords and merchants know this, and the
approach of a Congressman is the signal
for full speed ahead in the machinery Of
price fixing.
Under these circumstances no member of
Congress, whether in the House or the
Senate can save money. He must work
carefully IL he does not pile up deficit.

Another Public Man Who Wants
To Look Out for His Future

Mr.. Goods future political career is rea-
sonably assured. In spite of this he aban-
dons the position of superior influence he
has attained through years of earnest SER
vice to engage in prsrate business Mr.
Good frankly confesscs that at the age Of
55 he feels that the time has come when
he should devote himself to the task of
utilize the remaining years of his life to the
prosaic task of making money.
No one who Is a student of government
can miss the significance contained in this
decision The fact is that members Of Con-
gress are poorly paid, that their tenure of
office is uncertain and that public service
offers no certainty of reward comparable to
private activity In business.
Members of the House are paid $500 a
year. Their mileage and other perquisites
years ago this might have been regarded a
a reasonable salary. but with the increased
cost Of living IL amounts in comparative pur-
chasing power TO something like S3500 per
year.
In taking measure of this meagre salary
some thought must be given to the over
head Of Congressional career. With the
general extension Of the primary laws every
Representative who comes from a reasonably
close district must go through two election
fights. lie must first secure the nomination
and then must be elected. Both experiences
are expensive In addition to that there is

eral, who is quite a musician and composer
by avocation, has written 1t to music and

nor win he accept fees from other sources.
Congress is large body. and only after
years of effort can he hope to emerge from
the partial obscurity that hedges around the
average member.
sense of devotion to the public service
might warrant him in neglecting his own
personal interests If he were assured of a
permanent political career. But no career is
more uncertain.
Assuming that he enters Congress after
having established initial success in his pro-
fessional or business career, he must leave
all this and embark on course that may be
gratifying to his vanity but which takes him
out of the race Of life with other men. In
the case of most members of Congress there
inevitably comes the time of defeat. He may
have served just long enough for younger
men to have taken over his business. He
has become attached to the fascinating life
that prevails in the capital. American prec-
edent demands that he can serve in Con-
gress only in the district which is his home
and once defeated the chance Of returning
is hundred to one.
With no money ahead with his business
gone the future is especially gray to the
defeated member. His constituents quickly
forget the defeated one in their acclamation
of the newly elected Congressman.
The result is reinforcement of that pc

JASON HUMPHREYS, the twelve-year-
old English boy who flew with his
father, the pilot, a camera man and
a scientist from Cairo to Cape Town in
March, enjoyed a more novel experience
than most boys of his age will ever know.
Indeed, there are not many grown-up avi-

The naturalist has offered no explanation
for this 1t is a new phenomenon and must
be studied.
Usually lions, tigers and leopards are fear
full Of noises. They, in common with all wild
beasts are in terror of strange noises, and
know from infancy, by instinct, that gun
fire bodies them no good. During the late
war there was a general exodus of wild
beasts from every quarter of Africa where
any fighting was going on They crashed
through the jungles for miles trying to get
away from the sound of the guns; they
travelled far from their real homes and
enemies travelled together In their fright
without molestng one another. Since the
close of the war bushmen and hunters have
found them all back home again travel
ling back. Their Indifference to the sounds
of the airplane. therefore. is surprising.
Apes and monkeys made wild efforts to
reach the topmost branches of the highest

General Will Be Right at Home
With Harding and His Trombone

If he has any hobby il is music. It is
said to be more OF passion with him than
"cussing" He said himself that he likes
music best. He has the record of having
composed ballads and symphonies. To-day
one OF his symphonic poems, Melody" is
being played by Kreisler on a tour of the
United States.
His musical bent has been known to his
intimate friends. But the country has much
to learn of his real artistic talents Gen.
Dawes will feel perfectly at home in COM
pany with the President and his trombone.
Since young manhood he has been a mu-
sician. There is much of Gen. Dawes,e life
that remains unadvertised, including his
benevolence in providing for the education
and training of rising young artists It is
said that because of his generosity and en-
thusiastic support 1t is possible to maintain
the Chicago grand opera upon such a sue
cessful standard.
While Gen. Dawes is in Washington he
may not have time to compose anything
quite approaching his Melody" but he may
jazz things up a bit with creations of a
different sort by way of diversion.

This Uncertainty Fills
Congress With Inferior Men

The result Is that Congress is being filled
with men who have nothing to lose by COM
ing to Congress and with everything to
gain. The effect upon the personnel is
plainly evident. test of this can, be made
by asking any person close to you to name
five members of Congress outside of the
delegation from his own state. In former
days men of the breadth and depth of Nc
Kinley. Blaine. Springer, Garfield and Conk-
lin were proud to serve in the House. To-
day Theodore Burton of Ohio and Bourke
Cochran of New York probably most nearly
approach national reputation.
Members of Congress realize what is the
matter with their organization. They know
In their inner consciousness that 1t is this
falling off in quality which has enabled the
executive to encroach upon the legislative
branch Of the Government
They are aware also that the remedy is
within their own hands. They know that
the membership of Congress should be re-
duced in number and that salaries should
be generously increased.
But the very realization of the falling off
in the character of Congress makes mem
bers timid From time to time by an indirect
method they vote themselves additional COM
pensation. This is done through increased
allowances for clerk hire. for postage or for
that mythical thing known as mileage"
Whenever the question is raised some
demagogic member, some individual who
would probably be overpaid II he received
half OF the salary now accorded Represen-
tatives. declares the people will not permit
members 10 vote themselves money. and the
well directed effort usually ends in failure.
Others who oppose Increased salaries are
the few rich members, who habitualiy turn
their salary checks over TO their secretaries
and feel remunerated by the distinction Of
their position.
The movement TO increase the salaries of
members OF Congress. Representatives say,
cannot be led by members themselves. The
movement must be started back home by the
voters, who are really TO blame for the
present situation.
Tho present Congress probably has a
higher degree of average intelligence than
any recent Congress. But 1t is pitiably lack
ing In outstanding personalities. Its strong
men are already yielding to the lure of the
business world or are fretfully taking
thought of the morrow and of what II may
bring forth.
The tendency of the present situation is
to bring about not only lowering Of the
average OF ability, but It makes timid Con-
gress and develops men who have not been
delivered from the fear of political death.
The New York herald., 1921-07-10
Is Our Congress Overgrown and Underpaid? ?

culiar army Of ex-officials. pathetic group,
in Washington, known as the lame ducks"
If their party happens to be in power they
may be well taken care of. In the majority
of cases they remain in Washington until
their ambition is sapped and they are willing
to accept almost any position which will
keep them in Washington and save them
from the humiliation of returning to D.
humble position at home.
With this probable fate attending MEM
bers, it is extremely natural that Congress
sional career no longer has the fascination
for able and forceful men it once had. Men
who have proved their capacity in the
ordinary walks of life prefer to continue In
the pathways chosen, while those conscious
of their own ability are prone to listen to
the call of the financial and business world
rather than to take chances where the pit
falls are so numerous.
