cided to hear his counsel tomorrow:
Irrespective of the action by Mr.. Kel
Ter, members OF the committee were in

Mr. Woodruff said he was glad the

serted that only trivial" evidence to
support the charges had been offered
and that for his part If Mr.. Keller re-

reverse of pleasing surprise occa-
sionally has occurred Sometimes a
speaker has ignored the fve-minute
rule, which applies to all except the
President of the United States, and
given forth laborious addresses that
were wholly unsuited to the occasion.
The president also is never imperson-
ated, and is the only American public
man who is thus held to be above di-
rect and personal caricature. His pol
icies and current expressions, how
ever, are held always to be fit SUBJ
jects of satire. ~
The United States supreme court
is the single American politico- public
institution that is never satirized,
though some of its decisions have
been made subjects Of humorous
quips figuring in club humor. In re-
cent years few members of the isu-
preme court have attended Gridiron
dinners. The reason is believed to be
the sense of judicial dignity that was
held by the late Chief Justice White.
He would never attend one of the af-
fairs, for the reason, he said, that
someone might take advantage of the
occasion to attack the supreme. court.
"Then I would have to reply" he
said, land that would never do"
Two Most Notable Gatherings
The reason why speakers at Grid
iron dinners are held strictly to the
time limit is because the programs are
so minutely planned that if an event
overlaps it's allotted time the sche-
dule Of the evening is disarranged.
So that the situation can be met when
disarragement is unavoidable, the

presides at the dinners, has despotlc
authority over both the preparation
and the enactment Of the program.
The two most notable dinners that
have been given by the Gridiron club
occurred in 1898 at the close of the
Spanish-American war and last year
at the opening the Limitation of Ar
mament conference. At the first din
ner the greatest number of men of
national prominence was present; at
the last the greatest number of world
prominence. The 1921 dinner was
given largely for the distinguished
delegates from abroad to the Limi-
tation of Armament conference and
by reason of their presence it was one
of the most notable gatherings of the
kind ever held anywhere.
While it has many imitators there
is no other club in all the world like
the dining organization maintained
by Washington correspondents. 1t
NAV be doubted if another of the kind
is possible anywhere. One could not
operate very we'll elsewhere in the
United States, not for the lack of tai
ent, but because of the absence of
background. 1t is the atmosphere of
Washington and the immediate con-
tact there with national figures and
big national questions. which make
possible the high success of and the
national interest in Gridiron affairs.
The affairs serve to show that
things political are not always so Sc
rious as they seem; and if you will
read a review of them-as set forth,
say, in Arthur Wallace Dunn's inter-
esting book "Gridioron Nights Ito
which the writer Of this is indebted
for much of the material in this ar
ticle)-you will be inclined to wonder
why some of the Serious subjects
satirized in the past were ever
thought by anyone to be serious at
all. Through the application of the
philosophy of humor the club mere
ly anticipates the mellowing influence
of Time.

fish set hooks, and some to fish trot

the set hooks caught more fish than
the boys fishing the trot lines. This
was the last time for the trot line

pie, and Johnnie Wood tured out to
be a hero and rescued the cheese.
Then the teacher taught some GOOD
lessons from jeremiah. After Sun

My Dear Colonel
This is the second day after our trip to Mexico, and l have
hardly recovered my equilibrium. One continuous round Of
pleasure, from the time we arrived in Mexico, until we left, is the
only way / can express our stay in your fair city.
On the way home in the train, every one was singing the
praises of Mexico and the wonderful hospitality we received from
your good people
AS you know this was our tenth annual outing, and we have
had some real outings in the past. But I can trutfuly say, that
never before have we received such royal welcome anywhere as we
did in Mexico. The great variety of entertainment furnished us
during our brief stay, and the snap and punctualty with which it
was carried out, is deserving of great praise. And the fish fry at
the country club, was the best ever. I know our boys did real
justice to the open air meal, because they refused to eat our sand
wlches on the way home, and the consequence was that we had
more THAI two hundred sandwiches left over.
The Mexico boys are real scouts, we all admire them for let
ting us dance with their best girls, and how we did enjoy the dance.
Uf course we admired the ladies as well, but don't tell the boys,
CT our wives or sweethearts.
In behalf Of the North st. Louis Business Mems Association, l
want to express our thanks and appreciation to the business men
OF Mexico for your splendid efforts in our behalf, and / assure you
we enjoyed ourselves as never before.
With my best personal regards and assurance Of appreciation
for all you have done for us, / am
Very truly yours,
