vitation to play marbles with the | regulars is made particularly allur- ing through the additional hope by MT. Tilson that there be no test" of loyalty as a prerequisite to such return.
 This high-minded invitation came day after Senator Henrik Ship stead of Minnesota, the only Farmer-Labor member of the Sen- ate, had by invitation partaken of lunch in the White House, where he was agreeably filled with flapjacks and Vermont maple syrup, but otherwise not disposed to change his views in spite of the presence of other party notables, including Senator Bingham.
 All Of which is evidence Of how hard-pressed the grand old party feels itself despite that much her aided "control' of Congress. If con- trol were so thoroughly stabilized there would be no necessity for MT. Tilson's invitation and Mir. Coolidge's quiet hour with Mr. Shipstead. If control were actual and not of the paper variety the grand old party would be telling the insurgents to do their worst and take their lick ing like they deserve. But that can not be done under the situation. The Senate is tied-on paper-and the Farmer-Laborite from Minne- sota has the vote that will swing the Senate. ice-President Dawes has to vote to break a tie-but there won't be any ties If Senator Shipstead votes with one side or the other.
 The grand old party is playing a neat game. Already Senator Frazier of North Dakota has been extended forgiveness and has accepted it, after having been read out of the party two years ago. He has been promised the chairmanship of committee. Now Senator Shipstead is to feel the influence of friend ship and esteem. There have been rumors that he has been flirting with the Republicans, but he con- tinues to say he has his own politi. cal theories and these leave him in q position to vote according to these dictates and his own conscience.
 Can he stand the pressure? Ship stead will be able to exact almost any kind of gentleman's promise for support If he has any particular political ambitions under his hat. He is in the position of the man who can have nearly anything he wants, and all because of the accident that the Senate is tied and he has the deciding vote.
 In the case Of issues that are settled by strictly party vote his one vote will be worth all either major parties can muster. A pc culiar situation indeed.

AN OLD-TIME JOURNALIST
AND SUCCESS

Success, what is 1t? There was Austin P. Christy, for instance, | founder of the Worcester Telegram, and one of the nestors of New Eng land journalism. Thousands of journalists in New England gradu- ated from his unique school with 100 per cent credentials in their pro- fession. For Christy's Worcester paper was a model of inclusiveness; everything that happened within its bailiwick was chronlDkd in the most minute detail. Reporters who came from that school knew how to cover a story, it might be said, like no others.
 After he had built up his paper to an astonishing height of prosperity it was said that during Christy's regime the Telegram carried more advertising than any newspaper in New England, the Boston papers in- cluded-he sold it for s1,000,000. Christy originally started In business with less than $500, most of that borrowed.
 Christy was of that type who could not keep his mind off the humdrum grooves of trade, money changing, money-making. When he retired from the newspaper field he was rated as being more than a mil liouaire. He could have given the remainder of his days over to some hobby, to play, to any of the genteel things that keep life inter- esting to those who need not worry about the morrow. Instead of that, he persisted In trying to add to his store.
 Regardless of what happened Christy will be remembered as the man who built up the Worcester Telegram, the man who started in life with paltry few hundred dol lars and sold his property for a mil lion when he was ready to retire"
 All that came after was due to the fact that he didn't really retire from the marts of business. He had turned himself into sort of ma chine and it needed activity. He could amuse himself in no other way. That is not exactly success de- bite the fact that the human dynamon may be worth" a million or more.

Bullets May Prove
Staying Suspects
Plea of Innocence


BY the Associated Press.
TOULON, ILL.,, November s.
From two graves on a bleak hill
side may come information that
will free Joseph Stimas, miner
charged with killing two police
men.
Stimas claims he was standing
in the center of his home when the
policemen entered simultaneously,
one in front and the other in the
rear. At the first exchange Of
shots, Stimas says he fell to the
floor with a wound in his thigh
and the officers killed each other in
the croSS-fire.
Should the wounds in the bodies
of the policemen to be eXhumed be
from revolvers, Stimas' contention
would be proved, but buckshot
would convict him. for he held a
shotgun when captured.
