Indians Play
Bunting Game

The Indians are certainly working
the bunting game overtime. They
made four sacrifice hits the first day
here and five yesterday. one being
q fly.
In Cliff Brady Seattle has a crack
bunter and ne comes In valuable In
moving along Billy Lane. Brady led
the international league in sacrifice
hits with 81 last year.
Red Kiiiefer has always been In
favor Of the bunting game. While he
was with Los Angeles the Angels
played that style Of game to death.
Killefer believes In playing for each
run.
The Red Dog had the Indians play
Ing smart baseball on the paths yes
terday. He sent Bill Plummer up TO
work the squeeze play and the pitch
err turned the trick. He also had
Crane and EIdred try double steal

Kilicfer knows a lot Of baseball and
once he gets his machine In smooth
working order the Indians should
play smart brand Of the national

By far the most thrilling thing
about the Cleveland convention is the
mammoth and magnificent Public Hall
in which it is being held. There is
nothing in the country remotely to
compare with it. Such places as the
Chicago Coliseum and Madison Square
Garden are tawdry alongside of it.
If Cleveland isn't careful, the great
parties may adopt it in perpetuity
as the scene of these quadrennial
talkfests. Certainly its Public Hall
alone is sufficient inducement. Who
ever is responsible for the convention
decorative scheme deserves the con-
gressionai medal. There simply isn't
any decorative scheme. The halls
vast sweep, unimpeded by a single
arch or beam or column anywhere, is
allowed to sound it's own unadorned
decorative note. It's the first con-
on co that and hasn't sa
A giant edition of the Stars and
Stripes on the curtain at the rear
OF the stage is the only flag in sight.
Unfortunately, that effect is marred,
and ILLEGALLY marred. at that

and Harding are hung.

Burton's keynote address was d not
able performance. Burton is not a
spring chicken. He is Fastening to-
ward his seventy-fourth birthday,
yet his voice rang sonorously through
out the convention hall from the be-
ginning to the end of his speech. The
best that can be said of its reception
was that it was patiently listened to.
1t was an address that reads better
than it sounded. Nobody but an
orator with the fire of Borah
should be allowed to keynote for
and courtly. But he is utterly lack
ing in power to thrill. With the
single exception of his reference to
Coolidge. his recital of the virtues
and achievements of the q. y. r.
failed to arouse any emotions. The
applause at the end was desultory
and short lived.
Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary OF the
Treasury, evolved the first-indeed
the only-demonstratio of the OPEN
ing session. When the temporary
chairman announced that he would
recognize Mellon, the mere mention
of the Pittsburgh bankers name was
the signal for applause. AS the mod
est. handsome financier reached the
platform. a complete stranger to
four-fifths of the audience, the ap-
plause turned into deafening roar.
Mellon is a modest as a girl. He was
visibly embarrassed. He had asked
for the floor to propose routine res
olution, but was so shy and stage
frightened that the reading clerk had
to come to the rescue and bawl it out
to the convention.

President Coolidge's two cabinet
babies-Curtis d. Wilbur, Secretary
of the Navy, and Harlan Fiske Stone,
Attorney General, have seats of hon

national committee.
They are total strangers to the del

Secretaries Hughes and Hoover, the
entire Coolidge cabinet is on the

opinion of the Buffalo News. which
believes "the enduring things of
education, which embrace a knowl-
edge of right living, one ought to
get at home" for there are respon-
sibilities which parents cannot dele

waukee Journal claims further that
the present day novels which preach
discomfort with the clean and well
tried things OF life, stage and film
plays that depict the smartness and
attractiveness of criminality are poi

asks, Isn't it about time we began

feels "the lesson that education, in
the sense of brilliant achievement

curriculum. is very far from being
the all-sufficient instrument of a
healthy civilization is obviously pre-
sented"

stronger considerations this year than
four years ago, when a similar effort
was made, with the Same result. Con-
gress has just committed a grievous
injustice to the Capital community
by wiping out the organic act estab-
fishing a ratio Of federal participation
in the expense OF maintenance. 1t
imposed a tax increase of one-third
upon the District. In these proceed
ings Washington was unrepresented.
1t had no direct voice in the pro-
cedure. 1t was denied a hearing, 1t
was subjected to ruthless treatment
in defiance of the basic principles Of
the American government.
Washington's claim for the rights
of citizenship is fundamental. 1t Is
not a new demand. 1t has been in
recent years concentrated upon a pro-
posal for an amendment to the Con-
stitution enabling Congress at its dis
cretion and in its own time to admit
the District to representation in House
and Senate and in the electoral col
lege: to give it. in short, voice in
legislation affecting it. in the imposi.
tion OF taxes upon itself and in the
selection of the federal Executive.
This is not a partisan question. 1t
has been the hope that both parties
would go on record in the national
platforms to grant this act Of justice
to the District. The Republican party
has not done 50. The effort to secure
adoption OF a national representation
plank in the Democratic platform will
continue.

to the further transportation of
troops through PruSsian territory.
The effect was considerable delav in
the movement of the mercenary
troops; some of them were ordered
INTO winter quarters and did not
start upon their march to the mouth
of the Weser until the end of Febru-
airy, 111S, and did not reach Brener-
hafen until the latter part of March,
as they had to march by a circuit
around Prussian territory. On their
march of four weeks. they lost so
many men by desertion that of SAL
who were assembled at the colors on
February 81, there remained only 494
on March 21, l77S. AS result Of
this an interval of inaction set in
which proved disastrous to the Eng
lish plans of crushing the rebellion
at the precise time that the signs of
success seemed highly propitious. The
interval served Washington's cause,
in that il brought him the aid of a
man who was sorely needed, Gen. Won
Steuben. AS to the value of his sery-
ices, consult The Story of the Revo-
lution," by Henry Cabot Lodge, page
