DIGNITY OF CONGRESS

Congressman Thomas of Oklahoma is disturbed by having noticed that many newspapers and magazines are continually "belittling Congress-" and he wants an in vestigation of the cause of these assaults upon the dignity of that body.
 In fairness to MT. Thomas it must be said that he appears to be desirous of re- moving the causes for criticism, through a better functioning of Congress itself and does not entirely blame the critics.

ST. LOUIS CHECKS UP

In order to get the facts regarding crime and it's punishment, "crime survey was recently made in St. Louis as part of a statewide effort to secure authentic infor- nation concerning conditions. The find ings were bad enough.
 The record in St. Louis for year show ed 149 homicides, with only 25 punish ments, 4,776 burglaries and robberies, with only 192 punishments.
 In other words, only one murdered out of six received any punishment whatever, while but one burglar or robber out of "A suffered any penalty.
 There is no reason to believe that the situation is worse in St. Louis than in many other cities, hence it must be evident to all that our army of peace officers and court officials are making most pitiful showing in dealing with these serious crimes, to say nothing of the laxity with respect to minor offenses.

While Hagen failed to win either

night that Dempsey would go the
remaining distance successfully after
the license committee of the state
athletic commission reaching the crit
icaI stage or this legal fray in q
hectic session had deferred" the
champions application for a license
but also left the way clear for him
to obtain the necessary permit by
complying with certain rules ana
regulations.
The refusal Of the committee to
act today on the champions license
at first loomed as a distinct setback,
but explanation Of its decision by
the license committee chairman, Col
onels John j. Pae:an, afterward
made it clear that only technicalities
of arranging contracts stand in the
way of issuing Dempsey's permit.
Tunney making similar applica-
a license and as if to make the ges-
ture of assurance toward Dempsey
more clear the committee also is
sued a permit to Gene Normile, the
champions business representative to
act as a second.
Stripped of its technical elements,
the license committees action means
that Dempsey will be granted liz
cense as soon as the formal con-
tracts for bout with Tunney are
prepared in accordance with the
commissions rules and regulations
and submitted for approval Since
the commission, by a two to one
vote salready has gone on record as
favoring the match, this will be
only a formality.
Tonight Promoter Tex Rickard had
the necessary papers prepared and
signed by Tunney. Since, Dempsey
is not yet licensed, he cannot attack
his signature to them until they are
the license committee. The entire
matter may be consummated tomor-
row at special session of these
official bodies, both of which are
understood to be ready now to act
quickly to clear up the situation
and permit arrangements for the
fight to go ahead.
Today's developments, while they
ended in the apparent certain pros
pect that the title battle will be
held here, passed through a series of
dramatic and at times confusing
stages during deliberations that last
ed for three hours in the office of
the athletic commission, alternately
thrusting Dempsey, Tunney and Harry
Wills into the limelight.
Wills was the lost of the three
fighting men to appear on the scene,
but he played an important part,
even though the result was his virtual
elimination from the role as chai-
lenger which he has occupied for
so long and which has stood as a
stumbling block to Dempsey's fight
ing any one else in this state.
The contract which Wills signed
with Dempsey at Niles, Mich. last
September was the vehicle which
served apparently to shelve the negro
challenger's ambitions, as well as to

ARoIlT AL SIMMONS

If there is one thing major
league ball player should do 1t is to
run out the ball every time he is
at bat.
/ understand that is one of the
things that recently caused Connie
Mack to suspend AL Simmons, voted
by the baseball experts of Philadel-
phia as the most valuable man on
the Athletics last season.
1t is the unusual for player to
come to bat more than five times
in a game, four is closer to the
average, 50 it is not asking very
much Of him to run out every hit.
No club in either major league ad-
heres more closely to this theory
than Cleveland. Manager Iris Speak
er sets the example by going to
first at top speed, regardless Of
where he hits the ball.
One thing that caused me to ad-
mire Outfielder Jameson of Cleve-
land before he developed into a
really great player, was the deter
mined manner in which he set out
for first every time he hit the ball.

TAKE work SERIOUSLY

1t is to be regretted that Manager
Mack found it necessary to dis
cipline al Simmons. Mack is usu-
ally very reticent about taking such
severe action, so no doubt it was, de-
served.
Simmons is great ball player but
he can wreck his OWE usefulness as
we'll as a brilliant cancer unless he
takes his baseball seriously.
Walter Hagen, famous golfer, spoke
large gobs of wisdom, when he said
no player jim any sport could hope
for success unless he took his own
particular game seriously. He gave
that as the reason for the Britons'
slump in golf
Last season Simmons was the big
noise of the American league. He
finished witht mark of 1856, three
points away from iris Speaker, who
finished second and seven shy OF
Harry Heilmann who lead the league
in biting.
Many experts predicted that Sim
mons would be the league leader of
1926
Instead, we find Simmons suspend
ed for weak batting and Indifferent
fielding.
Perhaps the best moral to this tale
is-be serious.

seen the Capitol and the White house
and the House Of Representatives and
the Senate. the beautiful Lincoln Me
mortal. Bobby's little legs had almost
given out MS he climbed the Washing
ton Monument, because the elevator
was out Of order.
II was n beautiful afternoon, so L
said to Bunny and Bobby:
How would you like 10 90 out
IN Mount Vernon and see where
George Washington lived?
"Tbat would be fine" exclaimed
Bobby. and Bunny was pleased at the
prospect, too. d
So we hired an automobile ana
drove out through Alexandria, you
know that was the important town or
that mart of the country before the city
Of Washington was built. There we
STONED and saw the church where the
great general used to worship. And
what a charming old town it it. You
could almost imagine the old coaches
driving through the main street, IN
stead Of automobiles by the dozen.
We arrived Mt Mount Vernon, 1t
didn't take us long 10 get there, for
it's only seven miles from Alexandria,
but | suppose in Washington's day
that was quite a trip, to so into town.
We bought our tickets at the gate
and walked up to the red brick walk
on 10 the lawn in front of the house.
There we passed the buffers cot
tage and the outside kitchen and the
clearinghouse. / could just see Mrs.
Washington busting out to see that
her maid-servants were doing their
work properly.
Into the house we went and saw
the old parlors and the dining-room.
There was the music room with an in
strument like mandolin and a flute
lying on the old harpsichord. Bobby
whispered in my ear something about
the only thing lacking being a saxo-
phone. We saw Washington's bed
and his sword.
How beautiful it was out on the
vcranda with the broad Potomac flow
ing peacefully at our feet. / told Bob
by that Washington was supposed 10
have thrown n silver dollar across that
river and Bobby said he would have
made fine baseball player.
We walked down to the tombs OF
Martha and George Washington and
stood with our heads uncovered before
the last resting place Of the great man
Of whom someone said Providence
left him childless, so that a country
could call him father
On our way out, we visited the
greenhouses and there just before We
