On Behalf of "the People"
(NeW York POst.)


 What is duller than a hearing on the question ot taxation? Nothing, as a rule. But many things are duer than the kind of hearing which is taking place before the Senate Committee Finance Senator Penrose, not usually thought of a wit, imparted iveliness to the proceedings by commenting upon the credentials or witness who said that he spoke for the railroad brotherhoods. The witness told of action by various locals of the brotherhods and said that he was authorized by their executives to speak for them This brought a retort from the Pennsyly mia senator. That doesn't mean anything he informed the witness. Anybody come in here and say he speaks for whole lot of people, I've seen it done in politics many times" That last was a cncher and the witness could only that was no pol- tics in his position
 The next witness fared better. When he said that he represented the Peoples Recons ruction League and the Farmers National Council and that these organizations in turn represented 3 0OO OOO persons, Senator Penrose asked him for list. The witness explained that the lists were retained by the local organizations, but assured the committee that ne was speaking for more people than anybody else who had appeared. There's evidence of that ' was the caustic reply. And when the witness en- deavored to satisfy the curiosity of Senator Shoot regarding his Reconstruction League the Senator from Utah put him still more at his ease by re- marking "Oh, you're just of those that farm the farmers
 In reference to these particular witnesses the Senators may may have been correct but as q general principle their skeptcism is quite justifable IL IS an insignificant witness who does "repre- sent at least million Amercans Ask one for his authority to speak for his million the special question at issue and he may be loss to show it u the Census Bureau will add the inhabitants of ths country who are represented" in this way by an officer of one another organization it will make the pleasing discovery that it's figures of 05 GOO 900 men, women and children far short the facts There are at least 100000, 900 adults alone The Census Bureau will allege duplication It will sus- gest that Hank Jones is represented" before the committee at 10 a. m. by Alexander Dooitle, presi- dent of the Amalagamated Booklovers with 800 900 names on it's roll; at II by Dave Weaver chairman of the executive council of the National Big Game Alliance, with membership of more than 2 900 oOO and at l2 by the Rev. Dr. Silas Fourthly head of the Trans Mississippi Clergymen and Laymens League numbering 3,OO0,00O. This is another reason why investigation of the credentials persons claim ing to represent several millions of their fellow cti zens on whatever topic is uppermost will result in a shrlnkage of much individual importance.

 Without special pleading in defense of boxing contests and the rugged game of football which just now are being subjected to criticism by moraists whose gentle natures abhor such "br,l- talities' we submit the observations of dis tingushed sport writer a game innocence This game, suitable, it is urged by of the up lifters to the mental and moral and physical we'll being of the just, the unjunst and the betweeners, happily again is coming into it's own.
 Walter Camp is not impressed with this game croquet, as stimuatOr to serenity, provocative to peace and good will. Indeed, he says:
