willingness of the President to
participate in primary fights.
Nobody disputes the fact that
a pat on the back, publicly admin
istered from the White House,
would lessen the tension in the
primaries. When these accolades
are not forthcoming inquiry of
late shows a disposition which is
developing an independent spirit
on the part of the candidates, and
take their chances on their per-
sonal record rather than on the
support of the nominal party
leader.
With Congress considering the
French debt settlement there is
story current again in Washing
ton to the effect that Secretary
of the Treasury, Mellon, will re-
sign when these international
matters are cleared up. The
story is given some color as an
aftermath of the returns from
Pennsylvania, when as one keen
political observer said: "As a po-
litician Secretary Mellon is still
the best Secretary of the Treas
ury since Alexander Hamilton" !.
There has been considerable dis
cussion regarding Melons first
direct participation of the state
political affairs, because his rep
utation has been built up on his
success as a fnancier.
The debate on proposed rene
dial legislation for farmers con-
tinues to hold the attention of
Congress. The Senate has held
several night sessions in an effort
to weed out important legislation
on the calendar, so as to be pre-
pared for quick disposition of
the farm bill as it comes from
the House.
= The public building bill carry
ing an appropriation for $780,
100000 to be expended over a
period of five years has become a
law, with the result that several
Congressman whose reelection
depended upon the appropria-
tions for Post Offices will breathe
easier. These Federal buildings
will be erected in principally six
states, not including the District
of Columbia, where $4,000, 900
out of the $165,00O,OOO will be
used for housing Government
Departments. The Senate and
House are also showing remark
able speed in disposing of pen
sion cases and confirming Post
master appointments. The pat
ronage question is always deli
cate subject around election time.
Unless there is disturbance
among the opponents of farm
legislation, Congress will adjourn
probably about June Is.

The first ball game on the
Askov diamond this season drew
good sized crowd and the local
team was anxious to win but did
not turn the trick as the Beroun
boys had real pitcher with
them Spickler-who made 81
Askov batters whiff the air.
Hans Nielsen pitched for Askov
and played big game all the
way. He struck out Is Beroun
batters, and out of six chances
assisted in putting out five men
at first base. The one error he
made was wide throw to first
base. Besides that he made 2
of Askov's Z hits and / of their
5 runs.
The diamond is new and soft
making ground balls slow but
gives promise of becoming an
ideal place for base ball.
Askov's dire need is better bat
ting. Twenty-one strike-outs
or even fifteen as Beroun had,
is altogether too many to make
good base ball. 1t tends to make
it dull. In professional base ball
it usually runs from one to five
Astrike-euts in a game. Folks
will say, but they are better
batters, better trained" True,
but they are up against better
pitchers too. Naturally of course,
every pitcher is out to get as
many strike-outs to his credit as
possible, but it is no credit to a.
pitcher to strike out batters who
jump up in the air to strike at
balls foot over their heads, or
those who do not even get near
enough to the ball to make a foul.

Our Washing ton Letter
81 " KDaley
p AaOsa tpIoaAl AssoeAr,o. yroAl

Washington, May 26.-It is
rather pathetic nowadays to note
the confusion of mind prevailing
among legislators and their cam
paign managers. The protracted
effort to separate prohibition
from political campaigns has
been unavailing as returns from
primaries recently held in the,
largely populated states DISCLOSE
The result is that Congress is do
ing it's best to wind up its af-
fairs and at the same time bring
about a realignment on policies.
For a time it appeared that
the prohibition issue could be
discounted as extraneous matter
especially on national scale. It
is, perhaps, too early to judge the
effect of this issue on party plat
forms, but nobody doubts that a
multitude of factions will crop up
from this source tosmake party
success hazardous matter.
The passage of the resolution
calling for investigation, by a Sc
lect senate committee, into the
campaign expenses and methods
may have a marked effect on
Forthcoming primary and election
methods. The resolution drafted
by Senator Jim" Reed, Demo-
crat, of Missouri conveys broad
powers upon the Investigating
committee. The committe has
the power to inquire into the ac-
Invites of every agency inter
ested in the elections of senators
which, of course, gives it an OPP
portunity for a undertaking, if
it so desired. This committee will
loom like the shadow of a police
man over the approaching strug-
gle for control of Congress. For
instance, it has the authority to
summon, at any time, leaders of,
such organizations as the Anti
Saloon League, church groups, in
dustrial associations and the like,
to explain the extent of their fin
ancial participation in the cam
paigns of candidates for Federal
office. At the prospect of UNI
pleasant notoriety it is assumed
that organizations interested in
political developments will be
extremely cautious in their par
ticipation. Likewise, funds to
carry on the campaigns may be
difficult to raise if the subscrib-
ers are known.
In the tumult and discord of
campaigns the question arises in
Washington as to whether Pres
ident Coolidge is losing his hold
as party leader. Sometimes
his supporters among the ma
jority at the Capitol chaff under
the political fire of their oppon-
ents who twit them about the un-
