Mr. Beck, best known as former
solicitor general of the United States
under Harry Daugherty, merely ac-
cepted a gift when the Ware machine
nominated him for the congressional
seat heretofore held by Ware himself.
One of the Ware congplesSmen had
obligingly resigned without serving
even a day in the house and there
was no question that Mr.. Beck would
be elected. He had been hired to add
prestige to the Ware side of the con-
test over Vares right to take his seat
and nearly all the Ware arguments
have been Mr.. Beck's. Hon. Beck even
wrote book, which was entitled ''The
Vanishing Rights of the States" but
it was entirely devoted to proving that

The fact that Mr.. Beck is now def
nitely part of the Ware political ma
chine is unquestionably a source of
satisfaction to the Philadelphia boss,
who has often Smarted at unfavorable
comparisons of his organizations with
the Mellon machine of Pittsburgh. The
Mellon machine has presented a very
refined front with such gentlemen as
Andy and Dick Mellon, Senator Dave
Reed and c.. Wharton Pepper.
It was these very gentlemen who
cast asparagus at the fed necks and
uncultured minds of the uncouth Boss
Ware and his pals during their vain
but extremely expensive attempt to
keep him from getting Peppers seat
in the 1926 primary and election Reed
and the Melons have since been al
most willing to erect an heroic statue
of Boss Bill atop the capitol dome in
their frenzied efforts to keep him from
further reducing their important po-
litical power But Boss Ware cannot
forget those unkind words.
And now, Mr.. Beck, who is as re-
spectacle as any of the refined Pitts
burghers and as wealthy as some of
them, has come here to add consider
able perfunery to the Ware crowd both
in Washington and at home.
= &
Boss Ware has every reason to be-
lieve that the senate won't let him in
when it comes into session in Decem-
ber, despite all the MELONS, Reeds and
| Becks may do to show that his cam
paign expenses of $1,000,000 or less
should not bar him. If the Mellon
machine can't wheedle him out of it,
he may run against Reed next year,

but that's another story
should have second senator, who will
be appointed by the governor. Ware
unquestionably can dictate the ap-
pointment and it seems more than
likely that he will reach over into his
old seat in the house and select his
pal, counsel and defender Mr. Beck.
Assuming that Hon. Beck will be
named the other Pennsylvania sena-
tor, it may even be in the cards for
him to serve through the next session
and then resign. Whereupon, there
would be nothing to prevent Boss Ware
from stepping out to be renominated
and reelected to the same seat all
over again.

WASHINGTON deep down
among the dispatches detailing the re-
suits of the recent off-year elections
was the news that the Hon. James
Montgomery Beck had been elected a
representative from one of Boss Bill
Vare's Philadelphia congressional dis
tricts
Mr.. Beck's election to congress was
one of the most interesting, if not one
of the most important, political de-
velopments of 1927. With one full
swoop, Boss Ware has rewarded a
faithful servitor, added another coat
of responsibility to his Philadelphia
machine and placed one of his ablest
lieutenants in position where he can
easily be boosted into the senate after
Boss Ware is denied his seat.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A CORRECTION

CORRECTION
The ostrich is not such a fool
AS you and l were taught in school,
And oft repeated, word for word
Traducing an heroic bird.
His naked head he does not thrust
Beneath the desert sand or dust
To shut the sight out of foe
Which possibly might lay him low
He does not think that he is free
From evils which he cannot see.
He never would, by any chance
Delude himself by ignorance
Because he looks on it as bliss;
The truth about the bird is this;
Whenever he requires a drink
His head beneath the sand he'll sink
And burrows somewhat like mole
Until he finds a water hole.
And men who see him thus engaged
The while his craving is assuaged-
Mistake his motives, as a rule
And murmur, smiling, what fooll'

And when the swing is rightly &C.

into the ball from on top of the right

This differs from those posed pic

it would interfere with the right shout

roll with the rotating shoulders.

to sink five successive puts ranging
