gressional Medal OF Honor, most highly
priced of all the country's military

After the war Senator Warren re-
turned to his native State and engaged
in farming and stockraising. The call
Of the West. however. lured him as 1t did
many other New Enslanders. He went,
in 1858, to Wyoming. then q part OF the
Territory Of Dakota, and began the long,
upward career which saw him q member
of the Legislature Of Wyoming. its gov
ernor, first by appointment of the Presi-
dent when wyoming was still Territory
and then by election, and finally United
States Senator He was a pioneer in
the development Of the great Northwest.
Senator Warren quite naturally took
a keen interest in military affairs after
he came to the Senate. He represented
what was then q frontier state. He
had himself seen long service in the
Army. He became eventually chairman
of the military AFFAIRS committee, A

finally to take that of the committee OF.

The Capital community especially
mourns the passing of Senator Warren.
who has during his many years of
service been q steadfASt friend OF
Washington, its supporter in contro-
versy between the two houses of Con-
gress regarding the basis of Appropria-
lions for District maintenance, and the
advocate Of a liberal policy In its de-
velopment and maintenance. In all
questions Of moment to the District,
he stood in the Senate stanchly In Its
behalf, in speech and in action. His
interest in Washington was the keener
because OF his long residence here.
He was always q stanch Republican.
He had the interests of the Western
section of the country and his State by
adoption Glove at heart. But he did
not hnd that they confiicted with his
RepublicAnism. He was o party man,
believing in party government.
Senator Warren's death will be
mourned by his colleagues because of
genuine affection for him. He was o
kindly man, pleasant companion al
ways, and. despite difference In age,
a warm friend of many of the Senators
who remain. His earlier friends have
all preceded him.

Penrod must have been something
| of a neighborh0od nuisance.
| As much as we love to read Booth
/ Tarkington's books about him, we find
| It a solemn duty to admit as much as
above stated.
One may rather suspect, too. that
| Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
| were rather more pleasant on the
! printed page than In real life.
Then there was that extreme exam
pie. George w. Peck'S bad boy
whose name We cannot remember, or
even IL he ever had one.
That young man, of course. never
had the. dignity nor restraint of any
one of the big trio. His tricks were
more on the practical joke" order,
whereas both Penrod and Ten Sawyer
supply certain amount of sophistica-
ton.
Almost half a century separates
those two young men. but their actions
are surprisingly alike, for boys will be
boys" especially American boys.

Tarkington's latest book, "Penrod
Jashber," the first in IA years, Is dedi-
Gated to Dr. Wilmer, former Washing
tonian, at whose Baltimore institution
he wrote the manuscript while recover
ing from an eye ailment
While many will think it not quite
up to the standard set by "Penrod"
and "Penrod and Sam" the new book
picks up amazingly about half way
through, after a rather slow start.
The old Penrod is very much there,
this time in the guise of a detective.
1t is from this vocation that Penrod
gets his last name. as given. and from
which the book gets its title The
Ntf1s kk.1A
"Penrod, Detecatif," would have been
better title.
Titles, however, make little difference,
when one is dealing with eternal youth.
And such Tom Sawyer and Penrod may
be considered.
Our personal favorite is Tom, and
We have often wondered why. 1t is
true that the name of Mark Twain
looms larger in world literature than
that Of Harrington.
A whole cult Of modern critics has
arisen which takes keen pleasure in
regarding Mr.. Harrington as q minor
writer. Others, naturally, do not agree
with this SNUG verdict.
Yet it is perhaps true that most
readers will accord Tom Sawyer O
larger vote than Penrod, despite the
nearneSs Of the latter to their own
age and boys.
And again, we say, we wonder why,
Is 1t, indeed. because the man whose
real name was Samuel Langhorne
Clemens was better writer? Were the
adventures of Tom and Huckleberry
nearer to the universal desire?
Was that startling bit of provision,
Tom Sawyer Abroad" in which Mark
Twain pictured flight of an airship
around the world, more up-to-date
than the modern detective even?

This question may be left to the
critics, who know. or who pretend that
they know everything.
What interests us today is the peren-
NAL boy. Twain's boy, Tarkington's
boy and Peck'S bad boy" form a
literary trio.
The latter never was entirely re-

Cities Urged to Keep
Bond Issues Down

From the Fort Worth Star-TeleEram.
The danger of city bonding itself
too heavily, alluded to frequently prior
to the recents school bond election, is
illustrated in case close to home. Dali
las municipal bonds have been dropped
from the Banking Commission of Con-
necticut's new list of bonds legal for
savings banks in that State. The rea-
son given was that Dallas, by voting
its most recent issue, brought its munic-
ipal debt beyond the legal limit In
Connecticut Since Connecticut, New
York and Massachusetts, are the three
leading bondbuying States, 1t is easy
to see the importance of Connecticut's
action.
1t was to avoid just such a situation
the recent proposed school issue here
The proposed issue was for $4,000 00
and that would have brought the city
within 81 800 900 of its dead line" for
bond indebtedness Fort Worth at pres
ent is SIS 100000 away from that dead
line" margin, enough to carry out any
pressing needs. If the School Board
had set its issue at 100000 instead
OF $4,000 900, there still would have been
a wide enough margin. But $4,000 900
would have brought the city too near
Its dead line" That was one reason
the issue was Overwhelmingly defeated.
No one would deny that a Dallas
municipal bond is good or that Dallas
Is a solvent city. Nevertheless, action
like that in Connecticut on the part
of bond buyers makes "A weak market
for bonds thus affected and results in q
higher interest rate. It pays cities to
watch their b. oks closely when discuss
ing bond issue; ).

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Washington has just had a visit from
one OF the most popular foreign diplo-
mats stationed here in recent times.
Mr.. Setsuzo Sawada of Japan. Up to
last year Mr.. Sawada was counselor of
the Japanese embassy. He was trans
ferred to service in the foreign office at
Toxic, but his knowledge of American
conditions Is so profound that it was
decided to send him back to the United
States to become japanese consul gen.
eral at New York. Sawada has Just
taken up his duties there, after paying
his respects to Ambassador Debuchi
in Washington. The brilliant Young
Nipponese diplomat is of President
Hoover's faith, having been converted
to Quakerism by American missionaries
in Japan. Nine. Sawada is also a con-
vert. but she embraced Roman Catholi-
cism.
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher. Demo-
crat, has filed with the commissioner of

Increase in Lakes
OF Nation Is Sought
From the Cincinnati Times-star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
Americans are becoming lake-minded
pond-minded, pool-minded. Noteworthy
is the multiplication of public SWIM
ming pools and small private ponds.
Some parts of the country, like Min
nesota, Michigan and interior New
York, are well equipped with lakes.
Others are experimenting the def
ciencies of nature by the resources of
art. Ohio has several decent lakes,
created or enlarged for reservoir pur-
poses at the time that the two big
canals were put through from Ohio to
Lake Erie In Reelfoot Lake, Kentucky
has a considerable body of water on its
southern border, the gift of the New
Madrid earthquake. In general, the
Southern States, being below the line
of the glacier deposits that damned so
many Northern streams, are Scant3ly
supplied with lakes, and they have well
coined the big power dams in their
river gorges. behind which long bodies
of water have collected.
Because lakes mean fishing, boating
and bathing, as we'll as places of shelter,
and congregation for the migratory
hocks, the Western States are doing
something toward establishing them by
building dams. In Scott County, Kansas
has developed canyon region OF 1880
acres: in the Crawford Preserve it has
an area of 400 acres developed from
abandoned coal pits, filled with water
and so connected by canals as to form
canoe waterway; even buffalo wallowS
have been flooded, extended and con-
nected for pleasure park purposes. Since
there is nothing quite so easy to create
as lakes, and few things so grateful to
man. the number of them in this
country Is going to be much enlarged.

Francis Emroy Warren.

The Senate and the country will
mourn the passing of Senator Francis
Emroy Warren of Wyoming. For years
he has lowered among his fellows IN
the Senate, sturdy oak. His death
brings to an end the era in which many
Senators were former soldiers in the
War between the States. Senator War
rem was the last of them, on either side
OF the chamber. He outlived his gen.
Grafton, but not his usefulness. Wise in
counsel firm In his convictions, Senator
Warren was an interchangeable worker,
even to the day of his last illness. He
was in his seat in the Senate frequently
at night sessions when younger men
were absent. 1t is many years since he
became chairman of the important COM
mittee on appropriations Of the Senate,
and in that position has directed in
large part the measures supplying the
funds required to meet the ever-expand-
ing needs of the governmental ma
chinery.
Senator Warren entered the Senate
first on December /, 1890, almost thirty
nine years ago to a day. He was out
of the Senate from 1893 to 1895. From
the latter date, however, until the pres
ent he was continuously a member OF
the Upper House. Senator Simmons
of North Carolina, the next to
Senator Warren in length of service
did not enter the Senate until eleven
years after Senator Warren had first
been sworn in. Senator Reed Smoot Of
Utah, another veteran, was thirteen
years after Mr.. Warren in entering ths
Senate, and Senator Norris of Nebraska
reckoned a veteran, did not reach thu
| Senate until twenty-three years later.
The senior Senator from Wyoming
was born In Hinsdale, Mass, eighty-five
! years ago. His first service for hi
country was rs a private in the Forty
ninth Regiment, Massachusetts, Volun'
teer Infantry, in which he enlisted IL

mainder of the Civil War, as privat,
and non commissioned oficer. until hi

"armiStice" leads me to think of him
Certainly no other man has been more
instrumental in trying to bring about
a world peace, and certainly no man
has been more successful than he.
He gave his life for this cause and
achieved. We who stood before his
door on S street the last time he Ap-
peared on Armistice day can never for
get that sad occasion. His frail form,
broken in health and almost unable to
walk, yet hoping for his dream of peace
and with tears in his eyes expressing
his assurance that it was as sure to
prevail as time itself. Even those who
may not like him for partisan reasons
should recall that great many OF the
most eminent men in the opposing par

dent Mckinley when was boy How
his sad and untimely death brought
tears to my eyes, and how memorial
services were held all through the South
as well as the North. His favorite
hymns were sung and sorrow was in
every home. There was no party in
our thoughts. He was our beloved
President.
I have often wondered why we do
not hear Wilson's name more frequently

spoken to me about it. His life was

park, and insure, despite the compete
ton of another great game, that base
ball will have an enduring popularity
with the American people"
The Springfield Illinois State Journal,
remembering him as an inconspicuous
player on local team, tells Of an ex-
hibition game he pitched against the
champion Baltimore Orioles in that
city, after having pitched in another
city on the same day. He was ridiculed
by the visiting stars at FIRST The State
Journal continues: Presently the levity
ceased. The professional visitors had
been striking out, one by one, as they
faced those slow balls. Their manager
was becoming annoyed. Some of you

on to that fellow. It looks like we are
going to need a few hits Well

from the plate, suppose you take
crack at him. I've been trying to get
q hit ever since the game opened and
That game was Joe McGinnity's intro
duction to major base ball. Baltimore's
players did not forget that experience"
That paper concludes: Joe McGinnity
was ball player. He would want to
be known as that"
/ "Overshadowed by his teammste,
ChriSty MathewSon," according to the
Worcester Evening Gazette, "he missed
the highest honors which a joyful
populace bestows. Yet at his best, in
1904, when he pitched in 81 games and
won IS and lost Of them, he deserved
to rank with the old master. But base
ball in his time was not the swift road
to wealth that some find it today. And
when the inevitable hour arrived for
his shift to the minors, McGinnity stuck
to the game because he couldn't afford
to quit So 1t happened that he was
still pitching-yeS, and winning, too-at
an age when most players have been
long in retirement"
Labor in an Oklahoma foundry was
Joe's favorite Winter sport when he was
breaking into base ball" says the South
Bend Tribune. LAS a rookie pitcher in
1899 he was approached by Brooklyn
sports writer, who sought information
on McGinnity's methods of earning a
living in Winter. I'm an iron man in
Oklahoma he said. Thus he was de-
scribed as the Iron Man before he
demonstrated remarkable endurance as
major league pitcher. incidentally,
he married the foundry proprietor's
daughter while he was a major league
pitcher and later became owner Of the
property"
