There are some Indications that

Wills next month, has had plenty
of experience against good men. He
has, In fact, met the best Of the boil
ing outside OF Dempsey, Firpo and
Wills. And never has he been knock
ed from his feet. This doesn't mean
that BARLEY has the skill to avoid
blows, for he hasn't. But his head Is
hard to rock and his underpinning is
as solid on the canvas as though his
feet were incased in divers shoes.
Madden has produced two big sur
prises In the course Of his career The
first was when he knocked out Jirn
Coffey years ago. Every one had.
looked to see BARLEY pass out quick
ly. Then, in 1921, after Gibbons had
made his great record of eighteen.

lad who stayed the limit with Tommy,

thinking people, regardless of
political affiliation. will naturally
lose confidence in the activities
of a committee which accepts
Vanderlip as its chief advisor.
Nobody likes to be exposed to
the caprices Of bias.
There are several investiga-
tions under way in Congress.
II is essential that the probers
should realize that as long as the
existence of their respective
legislative bodies depends upon
public favor. all means should be
employed to conciliate, not alien
ate, that favor. The late Wood.
row Wilson. a thorough student
of public affairs, once said that
public opinion could not be in.
structed or elevated by the de-
bates of Congress.
Senator Borah. of Idaho, who
is anything but a party man, has
called upon his associates to give
more attention to home legisla-
tive matters and less time to
scandals. He declared that the
hour is at hand when we should
dissolve ourselves as a grand
jury and enter upon the task for
which this body is designed,
namely, meeting the legislative
situation which confronts us.
In my opinion, instead Of reliev-
ing the taxpayers of this country
and curtailing the obligations Of
the government. when this Con-
gress shall have ended it will
have increased them, and if il
does SO, there is only one Judge
ment that is due them"

misconduct in public office leads

Washington, Mar. 26.-Public
reaction on the exploitation of
scandals concerning those in high
offices is slowly leaving its mark
on Congress. Gradual recogni-
ton is given to the fact that the
public would not accept the idea
that the Senate alone possessed
a kind of omnipotence that is
capable of banishing all evil and
securing all good. II seems that
the ventilation of sensational
charges fails to sway the citizens
from their belief that anything
short of mayhem may be ex-
pected for political purposes dur
ing campaign year. The legal
action to protect the government
and bring about the prosecution
of those guilty of criminal wrong
doing has been instituted in
Wyoming courts but this most
important step in the whole
naval oil lease affair is conven-
iently overlooked as it has no
value in the spread eagle" or
atory of the day.
Perhaps. in fairness to a few
of the more conscientious Sena-
tors, it may be said that it is
more easy to regard their own
appreciation of their own acts as
marks of public judgement in
their favor. The testimony in
the Daugherty investigation has
taken an insidious and repre-
hensible form. Even those hav-
ing little regard for the present
Attorney General admit that the
Brookhart-Wheeler committee is
prosecuting rather than prosecut-
ing Daugherty. Because of the
general resentment against
Frank Vanderbilt, the banker, for
his unfounded charges against
the late President Harding,
