Our Washington Letter


with the consideration of general
legislation
The controversy over presidential
appointments has brought about a
demand in many quarters for the
abolition of secret sessions of the
Senate. Senator Dill, Democrat, of
Washington, has advocaed open ses-
sions except when it is determined
by a two thirds vote of the Senate
that the business for consideration
is so grave that secrecy is necessary.
The government is giving con-
siderable attention to the increase
ing number of failures and bank
suspensions. 1t is a problem that
cannot be solved by hasty legisla
ton. The Federal Reserve Board
has sent out notice to the banks
of tie country to the effect that
20,615 failures were reported dur
ing the last year, which is 10 per
cent higher than the total for 1928.
The amount of liabilities involved
in each of these insolvencies was, on
the average, considerably lower in
1924 than in the preceding year,
The New York district alone ac-
counted for about one fifth of the
total number for the country. In
his and in the Minneapolis district,
he failures were the lowest in sever
Al years. It indicates that busin
sss methods have improved in the
ess populous districts.

Brief Extra Session to
Confirm Appointments

Washington, Feb. 17,-One of
the few exciting things in Washing
ton these days is the struggle for a
complimentary seat at the inaugural
ceremony. Even the interest in this
spectacle is waning. The insistence
of the President as the star per-
former for the utmost simplicity in
the interest of economy has sound
ed a sad note The plans as APPROX
ed by Mr.. Coolidge indicate that the
entire ceremony, including the par
ade, will take up less than one hour.
Though the President is never
directly quoted, he is nevertheless
the publicity agent for the cabinet.
A few years ago it was customary
for Cabiet officers to tell newspaper
what transpired ht
the sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays
the spokesman for the
Presiden", whose real identity is
known to everybody gives the writ
ers the official Interpretation as to
what the Chief Executive and his
ministers of state discussed. One
of the Cabinet this week
told the writer that Mr. Coolidge
very frankly sought the advice of
the department. heads. This high
official said that the impression had
been given to the country that the
President did not take his official
family into his confidence. This,
he Cabinet member said, IL not
rue.
The aggressive attitude taken by
certain members of the Senate in /
'egard to executive appointments
las brought about switch on the /
,art of Mr.. Coolidge. Rather than
consent to a show down on voting

ID up on his efforts to obtain con-
in the Senate at this sess-
on. Word has been passed to Ad
forces to keep the nom
nations pigeon holed until an extra
ession can be called March 5. The
eason is obvious. In the new Con-

On Monday night the locals gave
the Poplar team the best trimming
that they have ever received at the
hands of any team. A $125 crowd
saw the game. The Poplar and Wolf
Point roofing sections gave us
slight remembrance of the big tour
nament held here a few years ago.
Buddy Smith was easily the star of
the game. He was here, there and
everywhere. The Poplar men could
not follow him. We hope that all
five will be going as fast at Saco.
The band helped to entertain the
crowd.
Six Baskets to None

not have a field goal to their credit,
their two points being made on free
throws. Wolf Points counters were
6 field baskets and points on free
throws.
The preliminary was played by
the Methodist and Presbyterian
teams. This was hard fought bat
lie as the teams are evenly matched
and are equals in the inter-church
basketball race. The final score was
) to 1 in favor of the Presbyterians.

The principals are Staney Buresh,

Alley is a brother of Tom Alley,
well known as one of the most skill

is heavier than Tom by about 25
pounds and is said to be hard man

Buresh is not much more than a
boy but is already hailed by such
well known professionals as Joe
Stecher as one of the coming wrest-
lers of the country. He claims a
record of 115 matches with only
one defeat, that to a man weighing
22O. He went through 90 matches
without losing single fall. He has
the ideal build to which, through
persistant training and the exper-
lance Of many matches, he has add
ed endurance and science. Buresh
halls from Clarkson, Neb., and as
boy, was we'll known to numerous
local people who formerly lived
here.
