All Pay Tribute to Con-
greSsman RobsiOn

Truth is mighty and will prevail
Some people have endeavored to
question the record of ]. NJ. Robson
! Congressman for the 11th district
! of Kentucky.
Facts are stubborn things. Satur-
! day we had a splendid expression,
1 (not defense, because he needs
none) Of the record Of Mr.. Robson
from the mouth OF Judge J. T.
Stamper, followed by a detailed ac-
count of his stewardship from Con-
gresham Robsion mself,-practi-
cally the same details we printed
last week. 1t was a complete refuta-
tion of his reported non-labor SYM
pathies. If this is not sufficient, we
quote the following letters to show
where Mr.. Robsion stands on labor
and where we know he has always
stood

Mr.. l.. T. Philpot, Striking Shopman,
Corbin, Kentucky.
My Dear Mr.. Philpot: 1t is with
much regret that l learn that Con-
gresham ]. NJ Robsion will have
opposition for reelection. l might
say that for many years before my
election TO Congress l was employed
by the Pennsylvania Railroad as
Locomotive Engineer, and, while /
am not now in actual service, l still
hold my Membership in the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. Hav-
ing been a railroad worker myself
and a union man am always deep
ly interested in legislation that will
benefit the railroad workers. Mr..
Robsion has always been ready and
willing to help other friends of labor
and myself to fight for legislation
that has appeared to us to be
to the best interest of labor and to
help oppose legislation that appear
ed to us to be against the interests
of the working class. l think he is
a real friend OF labor and has the
best interest of labor at heart.
He has been friend of labor and
/ think labor should back him.
feel that It would be a most serious
mistake and a tremendous loss to
the common people If he were not
returned to Congress.
Sincerely yours,

Big Mentally and Physically
The National Tribune, of Wash
ington, d. c.. the official organ of
the soldiers of America, on Decem-
Der 18th, 1921, devoted six columns
of that great paper, praising and re-
the record of Mr.. Robsion.
1t concludes with the following:
"All of which goes to show what
of man this good friend of
the colder is, and how his heart
beats. He has worked hard all his
life, and works hard now every day
at the capitol, But when his weeks
work is done, he still remembers the
Seventh Day. Each Sunday morn
ing he may be found addressing a
large class of men at the 9Th Street
Christian Church In Washington.

yR. ROBERT n. s. HAMMOND
DELIVERS SPLENDID ADDRESS

Those who were fortunate enough
to hear DR.. Robert B. s. Hammond.
Rector OF st. Barnabas Episcopal
Church, Sydney, Australia, realized
that they had before them a man OF
magnetic personality and one who
works for the works sake. The ad-
dress was delivered in the Methodist
Church, DR.. Allen Of the Baptist
Church delivering the invocation and
Rev. J. owen Gross introducing the
speaker.
DR. Hammond spoke on World
Wide Prohibition under the auspices
Of the World League Against Alco-
holism.
He spoke OF the $4,000 convicted
drunkards in the city of Sydney who
had gone through the courts.
He gave certain data relative to
Australia. such as that 1t is not only
10000 miles away from Barbour
Vile, but that at 1880 pm. the hour
at which he was speaking, 1t was
then 40 minutes to IL tomorrow, +"
proving that Australia is a long way
ahead of us in time, at least. 1t has
5000, 900 square miles of territory,
yet has but 5,5O0,00O population.
While Australia has less than two
foreigners to every 100 population.
the United States has go One sixth
of the population live in Sydney, a
beautiful city as big as Detroit. 1t
has however, all the horrors of civil
lization.
Speaking as an Australian Of
america, the speaker paid splendid
tribute to our people, their idealism
and progress. He also told of what
appealed to him as strange and
humorous.
The cafateria was new to him and
he most amusingly told of his first
experience in one of them. When
possible he uses them and tips him
self instead of the usual waiter,
Busing the fund for a special purpose.
The speaker said one is even expect
sAd to tip the basin in some lavator
les. The automobile is a mark of
distinction in Australia. 1t pest
here. The warmth of the Sedan
-stxuck DR.. Hammond as unbearable,
ralians being fresh air people.
safety First" signs, the hy-
gienic cup, don't expectorate on the
floor" all come in for praise IL the
people kept the law, but they don't.
We are overlooking what is more
dangerous than diseases and that
is the motor car. Ninety-nine child
ren we're killed in Les Angeles last
year. 1t is wrong to let anyone drive
who is not competent. Many have
forgotten that liberty is civilization
guaranteed by law. Those who
break the 18th Amendment have
done despite to those wonderful
pioneers who built up a country
second to none In the whole world.
DR.. Hammonds mentioned GER
tain individual who hoped Australia
would not get prohibition because
'1t has pleyed hell here" DR.. Ham
mand told him he was "a thirst in
trousers" and bade him good day.
Breakers of the Amendment are do
ing an appalling thing. Australia is
laughing at you and pointing you
out as an example of evils of pro-
hibition. The law is so important

honesty of purpose. His armour is
invulnerable because there is no
crack or crevice in which the darts

Pinch Hitters Not
Doing Their Stuff
I'm Worlds Series

One of the features of the present
struggle for the worlds championship
at the Polo Grounds is the total loss
of all the pinch hitters who have been
tossed into the fray. In fact, it has
been striking-out feature. The
Smiths have been the boys who
achieved notoriety in this respect
Elmer for the Yankees and Earl for
the Giants.
Earl Smith was called in to bat for
Nehf at promising point in the first
contest at the Polo Grounds. He didn't
strike out. He did worse, for he hit
into a double play and the side was re-
tired. Realizing his error in that re-
spect, when he faced Bob Shawkey as
pinch hitter for Cunningham in Fri
days bitter battle, he famed out
quickly without doing anybody else any
harm.
For the Yankees Elmer Smith batter
for Aaron Ward in Fridays fracas
Jack Scott struck him out. He batted
again yesterday for Carl Mays. Ha
was called out on strikes this time
which is even mora humiliating. II
means the batter doesn't know strike a
when he sees it. Frank Baker hit for
Hoyt on Friday. He really hit the bali
but was an easy victim for George
Kelly, unassisted.

''Terrible Base Running
Cost Us Ball Gane,''
Says Miller Huggins

THE lightweight manager of the
skidding Yankees was not
bit cheerful in the clubhouse after
the game, and one could hardly
blame him. His cherished charges
had just kicked a game of ball all
over a muddy field, and ball games
so scarce in the Huggins's worlds
series larder, too! "We needed
that one," said Hug. eyes sir,
there was one game we should
have taken. We just ran right
away from it. 1t chased US up an
alley, as you might say, but we
managed to escape. Terrible base
running is to blame. 1t was not
the fault of the coaches, they had
the ball in front of them and could
see the play better than anybody
else in the park. There isn't a
single thing we can say as an alibi.
Mays pitched eight good innings,
and he suffered bit of bad luck
when Bancroft's grounder bounded
away from Ward and scored two
runs. But we should have won
the game for him anyhow"
The Yankee skipper sighed as he
laced up his shoes. "Well, Joe
Bush will be in there tomorrow.
and if he doesn't set those boys
down to defeat, I'll concede a Ma
tional League victory. You can't
blame the pitchers. In the first
three games we didn't hit. To-day
we hit, but not nearly enough, and,
as l said before, the base running
was criminal. However, you never
can tell in this game. Wouldn't
you be surprised if we went out
and took four straight now?"
This same question was fired
right back at Huggfns. "I'm not
saying that I'd be surprised, but
I'd certainly be delighted. Moth
ing would please me better than to
get a worlds championship flag
to fly in the new park for the two
colonels. They deserve it. We're
going to try for it, anyhow, and
Joe Bush will stert the ball roll
ing"

"Ciarsts Played Fast,
Vide Il wake Boil. -
Praises John McGra,v
HEARKEN to the post-combat
comment of John McGraw.

EARhEN TO the post-combat
comment Of John McGraw,
the brains of the Giant team:
"Give the credit to-day to Ban
croft, Cunningham and Groh.
They played swift ball in pinches.
Bancroft was the main cog in the
Giant defense that broke up the
Yankee rallies. He did it in the
first inning when he got Pipp at
second base, and he did it again in
the ninth. He was the biggest
single factor in the victory.
"McQuillan is entitled to credit
for his gameness, the way he came
back after bad start, although
he didn't pitch with the best judg-
ment in the world.
''Mays pitched we'll, and, here's
no use talking, he ran into tough
break when that ball of Bancroft's
took a bad bound over Wards
head. The Giants played fast,
wide-awake ball, though, and made
the most Of every opening. Their
work in that respect was unusu-
ally good, and the victory theirs
because they played a fast, keen
game"
"Nehf tomorrow, eh?" was a
question put to the happy Little
Napoleon.
"Nehf or Jonnard," replied the
h. L. NJ, but he didn't say the JON
nard part of it very loud.

only because Of the fact that there was
no Giant money in sight. Even Ma
t'onal League partisans who had sup
ported McGraw's chances seemed
anxious to take the Yankee end for the
Sunday game. These figured, Of course,
that their real bets were already in and
wished to elay the percentage against
the probability of any major league
club winning four in row from its
rival. Only twice in worlds series his

Cubs against Detroit back in 1907 and

The gentlemen who wrote that this

too large in comparison with the mod

take into consideration that the ugly
most Office building will soon be removed
and that the clements will soften the
staring whiteness of the marble. so that
all will blend and be beautiful in the
extreme.
II was a master stroke of our PARK
Commissioners in suggesting to HIS Honor

good TO go among the crowds at noon
