Hubert's Home Run in Ninth Inning Saves Crimsons
 a WhiteWashing

Columbus, Ga, April 17.=(Special.) Hubert, playing the initial sack for the University of Alabama, saved the Crimson tide baseball aggrega- ton a whitewash on the Fort Ben ming reservation ball lot this after noon In a game with the United States infantry school nine, when he cleuted the ball outside the ward in the ninth frame. The game was won by the infantrymen, 2 to l.
 Alabama did not play up to par during the contest this afternoon, following it's victory over the Yale Bulldogs in Macon Saturday after noon. McMillan, who was on the mound for the Tide, went up in the third frame, and five hits, one of them a double, two errors and two walks caused the soldiers to tally six times during that frame, another was added in the seventh, but the six was enough and incidentally the Benning crew won.
 Alabama made only two pebbles, but both of them were fatal. After their victory over the Blue of Yale in Macon, the Crimson lads appeared ver-confident in their engagement with the soldiers.

in the league of his first love, looking after things for the Att lanta club and holding down the short field job. At that it seems but short while since Roy, Baron youngster received the call to Cincinnati, and was referred to by Jack Ryder as Slippery Ellam."
 While the Barons came back from Nashville with no alibis to offer, many of the crew did as- sert that the breaks went against 'em. Line drive after line drive, either went straiht into the hands of waiting fielders, or were con verted into putouts by sensational plays.
 Attendances in Mobile are said to be better this year than ever before. The answer is easy. Mo- bile fans feel like Bert Hiehoff has corralled a real bunch of stars and that the Bears are go- ing to be up there in the race all summer. Give Chattanooga a winner and you'll see attendances up in Lookoutville show a sudden change for the better, too.

vancement in public employment
through all the years, who had kept
their regulations pure, who had per-
fected their efficiency and had finally
come to places of responsibility and
places that paid %bem well. Without
an opportunity to be heard, without
opportunity to utter one word in their
own defense, and now with the state
ment from the Secretary of the Treas
ury that there was not a charge
against them, they were all dismissed
from the public service. They were
turned out, their regulations destroy
ed and the Washington Post says,
and it speaks for the administration,
or always has. that the President does
not intend ever to tell why he dis
missed and disgraced these women.
81 imagine that the women will also
notice that not only did the President
dismiss these women but filled their
places with men. This administration
shuts the door of hope in the face of
women, who through long years of
faithful service had toiled upward to
places off responsibilities They were
summarily discharged and disgraced,
and four good Republicans whose rep
utation will pass muster even with the
junior Senator from Oklahoma, are
given their places, and these four good
Republicans are men,"
Representative Byrns said in part:
81 have made inquiry, and under
stand that there were a number of
Republicans, possibly a majority,
among those who were dismissed
The very fact that these officials were
retained by the last administration as
chiefs of divisions is conclusive proof
that Democratic administration did
not play politics n the civil service.
What right did the President have
to abolish by executive order posi-
tons created by an act of Congress
and create new positions which he can
fill without regard to civil service.
What right has he to destroy civil
service status Of these officials by
abolishing their offices? If he can
do this, then no civil service employee
is safe.
"The removed of these officials is
an outrage on decency. 1t is blow
to administrative discipline. 1t is a
strike at governmental efficiency. 1t
is an under-t he-belt, Knockout blow at
economy and morale"

The significance of these elections
is found in the fact that they repeat
the results of other municipal cleo
tions in every section of the country;
they indicate as well as anything can
indicate the trend away from the re-
dictionary method of the leadership of
the Republican party and that Repub-
licans who are more interested in the
welfare of their country than they are
in partisanship are joining hands with
the Democrats in an effort to restore
Democratic economy and intelligence
in government. Democratic municipal
victories in a Congressional year have
always been the true signs of Demo-
cratic national victory in the fall, say
the Democratic statisticians.

COCKRELL COMES OUT
IN FAVOR OF LONG

Jefferson City, Mo-, April S.-Cir-
cult Judge Ewing Cockrell of War
rensburg, son of the late Senator F.
M. Cockrell, announced tonight he
will not be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination, but will
support Breckenridge Long.
Cockrell's announcement that he
would not run for Senator came in a
telegram to w. R. Hollister, campaign
manager for Long. Cockrell said:
/ appreciate very much the support
offered me, if | were candidate for
the United States Senate. May l,
through your paper, make this public
announcement in the matter? | am
most interested in trying to help do
certain definite constructive things
for the people Of Missouri However,
there exists now in our party the def
mite issue. Mr.. Reed personally /
have only friendly feelings for, and
would not run against him simply as
an anti-Reed candidate. Still | dis
agree with him in many things, and
those who fully agree with him should
and will properly vote for him.
On the other hand, those opposed to
him have in Mr.. Long fair and con-
representative of their
views, for whom they can all properly
vote and support at the primary and
general election. In view of these cir
cumstances and of the fact that as
Judge | could continue to work def
nitely for the things that to me seem
most important, am therefore a can
didate for reelection as Circuit Judge,
as had planned to be, and not for
Senator. Globe-Democrat.

Harding's Dismissal Order De-
nOunced as HeartIess.

The strongest criticism of Presi-
dent Harding's executive order dis
missing the Director of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and thirty
other officials there were made by
Senator Caraway Dem, Ark in the
Senate, and Representative Byrns
Dem, Ten.) in the House. Among
otherthings Senator Caraway said:
men with services ranging all the
way from 20 to 80 years, services that
had been acceptable to both Republi-
can and Democratic administrations,
men against whom 10 charge has ever
been made, either of inefficiency or of
hishonor, were removed from their
positions and discharged from the
public service by an Executive order.
| venture the assertion that no Pres
ident in the history of this country
since cicil service has become the
law of this nation ever dared so auto
cratically to disregard the law and
disregard the rights of human beings
as did the President by this Executive
order.
"The law is plain. 1t required the
President-and he is not above the
law-to follow certain procedure I'M
der which these men could at least
have protected their reputation by de-
malls. The President ignored that. He
ignored this law with the Attorney
General in conference e with him.
Therefore, there is no reason, if there
was any knowledge Of the law in the
Attorney Generals office, why the
President should have run roughshod
over the rights of these men and Who'll
ly disregard the law of the land.
II think the gravest hurt is to the
public morale. When men and women
lose confidence in the justice of their
government and in the men who are
charged temporarily with tn admin
istration of law, they have been done
a great injury. ! do not care how
man may apologize in his heart for
the administration; he may assert that
the. President was within his rights;
but | say that there is no man with
any human kindness in his heart who
can read that order and not know that
it was an inhuma order, ad no man
with any knowledge of the law of his
land can read it and not know that it
was violation of the law by the
President when he issued it.
There is a little word called hon
or. 1t is as binding upon the Presi-
dent of these United States as upon
the humblest citizen of this land; and
it is all the more regrettable when the
President shall forget it and deny JUS
tice to men upon whom he has the
pcwer to inflict an irremediable in
Jury. - -...-- 49, =.
