clined to answer questions in Chicago
Wednesday on the ground that the
committee had no power to inquire
into expenditures made for county
campaigns. Chairman Reed. on the
other hand, held that the primary
campaigns of the senatorial and other
nominees were SO closely woven that
the information demanded was essen
tial to the committees determination
in the matter.
The picture of a public official, sworn
to enforce the laws, declining to tes-
tify before a Senate committee re-
garding a $4,000 contribution to a
campaign fund may be edifying, but
it is not pleasant. In addition to hold
ing the office of States attorney, Mr..
Grove is a political boss Of the Re-
publican organization in Chicago.
Mr.. insult, who donated more than
$125,000 to aid his friend, Col. Smith,
head OF the Public Utilities Commits

publican senatorial nomination, and
at the same time ''came through"
with thousands of dollars for George
E. Brennan, Democratic nominee for
the Senate, and even contributed
money to an organization supporting
Senator Mckinley, Smiths opponent,

progressive. although he campaigned
for Cummins before the primary in
June.
AT a primary doubtless Brookhart
would have defeated any other candi-
date who might have been advanced
against him. Certainly no man as
little known to voters as Stewart
would have had a ghost of a show,
But in convention vastly different
situation is presented.
The people of Iowa were greatly in
censed when the Senate threw Col.
Brookhart out last Spring and seated
Senator Daniel +. Steck, Democrat, in
his place. They believed that Brook
hart had been properly elected and
that the Senate had made an error.
Even former opponents of Brookhart
voted for his nomination in the recent
primaries for that reason. The same
sense of a square deal among the peo-
pie Of Iowa may have had something
to do with the selection of a Cummins
man yesterday to fill out a term of
office to which Senator Cummins had
been elected and throughout which he
would have served had not death in.

Stewart is a former first sergeant
of Marines, serving during the World
War. He is an attorney and only
thirty-nine years old. The Democrats
have announced they will put no one
in the field for the short term. Per-
haps by not opposing Stewart, the
regular, they hope to gain Republican
votes for Claude r. Porter, the Demo-
cratic nominee for the long term
against Brookhart. Mr.. Porter's only
chance, like that of Senator Steck in
1924, is to receive enough old guard
Republican votes in November to pass
Col. Brookhart.

The Senate Defied Again

Samuel insult, public utility mag
nate, and Robert E. Grove, States
attorney for Cook County, ILL.,, have
Joined the ranks of those who have
defied the right of Senate investigat-
ing committees, backed up by the
Senate itself, to question them.
The powers of a congressional com
mittee to compel witnesses to answer
and produce papers have never been
fully determined. Before the SUI
preme Court of the United States is
pending today a case involving this
very question, that of Nal Daugherty,
brother Of the former Attorney Gen.
eral, who declined to give the Senate
committee investigating the admins.
tration of the Department of Justice
under Attorney General Daugherty
full access to the records of his bank
at Washington Court House, Ohio, or
to answer questions. This case has
been pending since it was argued, De-
cember 5, 1924. A decision has been
awaited with great interest. Upon the
decision of the Supreme Court hangs
in a measure the case of Harry F.
Sinclair, oil operator and lessor of
the Tea Pot Dome naval oil reserve.
The Sinclair case is now before the
Court Of Appeals of the District of
Columbia, where announcement has
been made that, as it involved the
same question as the NAL Daugherty
case, the Appellate Court would await
the decision of the highest court in
that case.
NAL Daugherty, when the assistant
sergeant-at-arms of the Senate sought
to arrest him and hale him before
the bar of the Senate, obtained a
writ Of habeas corpus from the court
in Ohio. Judge Cochran later decided
his case against the Senate, and the
appeal was taken from the Federal
Court in Cincinnati to the Supreme
Court.
While the proceedings against Sim
clair involve a refusal to testify be-
fore Senate committee, the action
differs from the Daugherty case. An
indictment was obtained in the Dis
trict of Columbia against Sinclair on
the ground he had violated Fed
eral statute empowering Senate COM
nittees to summon witnesses and call
for papers. etc. Neither he nor
Daugherty has ever been before tho
bur of the Senate in person.

It has been only during the past

get no farther than straw hats.

The vogue sof both golf and tennis

then it was not deemed exactly proper
for a dignified executive to appear In

Jones Inspires Country
With His Ideal of Clean Playin9

Bobby Jones of Atlanta, the worlds
greatest golfer, in his brief career has
exhibited certain traits which by the
press of the country are commended
as requisites of success in all the at
fairs of life. Mastery of self, ac-
quired after experiences in his earlier
games, and the iron will to succeed
despite great obstacles are empha-
sized in glowing tributes to his skill
that have followed his recent achieve
ments.
Bobby set out some years ago to
scale the heights explains the Har-
risburg Telegraph, Handicapped by
lack of poise. Then one day he woke
up to the fact that control is the
greatest word in the language. 1t
dawned upon Bobby Jones that he
would never be able to make his golf
clubs sing the little song he wanted
to listen to, as they cut the air, un-
less he himself first taught them the
tune. Some men swing a perfect
stroke by the grace of God. The rest
of us achieve perfection, or draw nigh
thereto, by dint of patience, perse-
verance and perspiration. Bobby
Jones would never have come back
home bearing the sheaves il he hadn't
learned that lesson. When he t1iv-
vered he taught himself to grin.
When he holed out he got into the
habit of gazing at the smiling sky and
recalling how trivial the occurrence
must appear to the Emperor of Japan.
Some of the rest of us who haven't
vet mastered the art of standing pat
when the breaks are going against
us will take fresh heart in the ex
ample of the Young Nabob Of the Nib
lick from Atlanta, Ga. And who
knows? Some day we may yet make
the course under par!'
Referring to Bobby's interview for
the press, the St. Paul Pioneer Press
declares: There was great deal in
this interview about methods OF play,
but Bobby's concluding remark was
by all odds his best. He had been
asked about penalty strokes he has
at various times called on himself,
one of which cost him champion

talk about said Bobby hurriedly.
