The game of basketball play ed by the Williams and Wins low girls teams, last Thursday night, was declared by many to be the best game ever played in Williams. The game was hard fought from start to finish. The second half closed with a tie which had to be played off to determine the winners. Will Hams won, and we are proud to know it; but there is much more reason to be proud of the con- duct of the team toward their opponents turnout the game and of the courteous treatment of the visitors both before and after. Games are sometimes won without the display of this spirit of clean sportsmanship but such games were better not played. It is only when athlet- lc games are conducted in the manner deporting fair play that they are worthy of a place in the school curriculum. Games played in this spirit are a better practical training for the pupils than any one study in the regu- lar school course.

That America is fortunate in having goodly number of democrts in congress, even tho the republicans have a majority is shown by the vote on the Gronna bill providing federal regulation of the packers. Those voting for the measure numbered: republicans IS, democrats 28. Of those oppos- ing, 23 were republicans and 10 were democrats. A majority of the republican senators op- posed the measure while al- most three fourths of the demo- crats favored it. The cattle and sheep men will have to thank the democrats more than the republicans for the passage of this bill.

In another column of this issue of the News appears an account of the passage of the Gronna Bill for Federal control of the Meat Packers, by the Senate. It is worthy of note that in voting for this bill, party lines were ignored. Neither the Republicans nor the Demo- crats made any attempt to make a party fight of it. From the viewpoint of public welfare this is ging. After all these senators were elected to work for the welfare of the na- ton rather than for the interest of a political party.
