IL even happens to politicians and
sometimes with embarrassing re.
suits. Finetance. one OF that fra.
ternity may never know unless he
happens upon this and guesses him
self the victim, that a letter writ
ten to one West virginia Senator
came in an envelope addressed to
his colleague. The letter was a
scorching roast Of the Senator who
received 1t, because the author OF
the letter thought, and 30 stated.
that he wasn't turning the Harding
administration upside down to get
an appointment for him. 1t is pre-
sumed that he was writing both
Senators at the same time and got
the letters and envelopes mixed. 1t
may also be assumed that he failed
to understand and appreciate, prob
ably as great many others do,
that where their common interests
are involved, the West Virginia
Senators are pretty close, and do
team work.

II has long been moot question
whether an ofticeholder with pat
ronage to distribute 10 the party
faithful should always tell the
truth Here is a case in point;
Two United States Senators more
or less we'll known to West Vir
Einia folks, were trying to get a
fairly good-paying and important
position for a constituent who had
been loyal and faithful friend and
supporter of both. He said SO and
they thought o. Their and I
friend and supporter had his am.
bilious heart set on one job. ThiE
job required a man Of a certain
high order OF professional ability
and experience to fill. The appll,
cant had no doubts about himself
on that score. The Senator'S went
to a very high official who had the
Job to be8tow. They praised their
man, they certainly did. From their
laudation OF him, President Harding
would have made no mistake in se-
lectIng him for a Cabinet port.
folio. But-a position such as the
one asked for, 1t was, Of course
necessary, the high official told
the Senator's. to see and talk with
their man. So that was arranged
and that also ended 1t. The high
official said that the applicant was
IN no respect equipped to handle
the duties Of the position requested
for him; he could not and would
not make the appointment. Now,
the question is, dear reader, il you
were Senator would you have
told the applicant why he was
turned down, or would you have
written him e1tolIing his. profess
Bional abilities and letting him
down Just as easily as you aimed
to do and believed you could do:
And what do you imagine the Sen.
ators wrote him? Whatever 1t was.
that patriot Is no longer a and +
friend and supporter OF either.
What he intends TO do-well, the
wreck Of the much-quoted Hes
perius will look like a newlv.lnunch

More than 53e cities aud towns in the United States were covered by the Knights of Columbus travelling lecturers during the past year, according to a re- port made public by William J.

All of the lectures were conducted on the open forum basis and l1,400 questions were directed at the speakers by mem bers of the audiences seeking informa- ton.
 Although 8 majority of the lectures were on subjects tending to ailay boi- shevisrn, radicalism, and religious big o4ry, it is announced that g per cent. of the questions asked have been questions seeking to know the proofs of Gods ex- istenee. Moral questions came next, and then economic, and then political The questioners on economic lines were the hardest for the lecturers to satisfy, ac- cofding te Secretary Mckinley.
 It is also announced that in recogni- tion of the services rendered to the French government by the order street in the city of Paris has been named the Avenue gf the Knights of Columbus.
