MITCHELL SHOWS WISDOM

When Attorney General Mitchell
sent the injunction bill back to the
senate judiciary committee he had a
full growth of precedent behind him
and he had common sense in his head
The attorney general not only told
the senators he had no authority tc
advise them as to the constitutionality
of pending legislation, but he kept his
office out of a jam that, had he actec
otherwise, would have grown worse
with passing years.
Infinite complications were visible
under any action other than the ac
tion taken. But principally, the at
torney-general has spiked what might
have been often used as a device fol
burying bills and he has drawn once
again the line between executive anC
legislative functions.
Senators hostile to the junction
bill are no doubt disappointed, but
even they, in later moments, will be
glad the attorney-general used his
head.
1t is to labor's credit that it was
first to see the error into which the
hostile senators sought to plunge the
cabinet officer.

DOG" WAS FRIENDLESS

Everyone tied a tin can to the

bate on Judge Parker's appointment.
In concluding his opposition speech,
Senator Borah made this significant
statement:
"No senator on this floor has yet
soiled his lips by defending the con-
tract involved in this controversy"

we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Such is fame that a wholly ficti-
tious character is given the homage
of leaders of the Grand Old Party in
one of the best joke stunts of the
year.
Cornell university students face
some sort of punishment for their
prank, but those who really deserve
the panning are the big bugs who
fell for the hoax.
Invited to a dinner to honor one
Hugo N. Fry, set forth as having
been the founder of the republican
party in New York static, such per-
sons as Vice-President Curtis, Secre-
tary of Labor Davis and Ruth Pratt
sent letters testifying to the great
ness of the said Fry.
The letters were printed where
upon the Cornell lads set forth great
gales of laughter.
Hugo N. Fry" was name made
out of the words "You-go fry,
a pen name signed to a funny column
in the Cornell Daily Sun.
The story is by now off the front
pages, but it will be many moons be-
fore it is forgotten A laugh at the
big boys" is always bit of relish.
Alexander Pantages gets out of jail
on bail of 100000. Ruth Hanna Nc
Cormick spends quarter of mil
lion to get senate nomination. Penn
sylvania candidates equal or beat that
mark.
Whether Pantages ought to be
freed is not the question, nor is the
question one of whether or not the
senatorial candidates are meritorious
The question is; What chance has
a poor man to get the same kind of
a deal, either in court or in politics ?
Can merit and honesty and innocence
get as far when broke as when
wealthy?
Can democracy continue healthy
when it takes money to get the recog-
milton that ought to be accorded
solely for merit?
Pantages can get out of Jail be-
cause he can make bail for 100000
Senatorial candidates are getting
nominated because they can put up
the money. They may have every
proper qualification, but it's money
that gets recognition for the qualifica-
tions Is anybody foolish enough TO
think Mrs. Mccormick could have
been nominated if she hadn't shot the
roll?
Senators who thought to dodge
vote on labor's anti-injunction bill
by sending the bill over to the attor-
ney-general got a rude shock when
that official promptly brought the
bowling infant right back to the sen
atorlal doorstep.
The encouragement verified Ia
boris assertion by telling the commit
tee he had no authority to pass on
the constitutionality of the bill.
Now the senators have a chance
how some of them wish it were not
soto vote on the measure on merit.
Every member of the senate ju-
dietary committee is a lawyer and
most of them are good lawyers. They
should have known better than try
the trick of passing the buck, but
politicians sometimes get in pinch
where fear gets the better of their
judgment
We shall now see what we shall

HAMMILL DEFEATED

Hammill has the blackest labor rec

Does Best
in County
Champions Repeat by Win
Over Warren Central
in Finals.
BY DICK MILLER

BY a margin of eight points
Ben Davis high school basket squad
gained its second consecutive Mar
ion county tournament champion
ship Saturday night at the armory
by defeating fast Warren Central
team, Is to 10, in the final game OF
a two-day tournament. Eleven high
school teams from the county, IN
dianapolis excepted, took part in the
meet.
Warren Central led the Davis
team until near the end of the first
half when Sugar came through
with a couple of field markers and
knotted the count at Hall. The
Davis squad appeared to miss the
services of their tall center, Rich
ards, who suffered a sprained ankle
in an afternoon semi-final game
when Ben Davis defeated New
Augusta % to 10.
In rapid fire manner the Davis
boys sank three field goals early in
the second half. Although Central
came up to within three points, the
champions again spurted ahead.
Sogar and Uhrig each scored nine
points for Ben Davis while Behr-
man, f1ashy center of Warren Cen
trail, again proved himself the main
stay of the Owls by scoring fifteen
of the eighteen points.
Warren appeared tired in the final
game, having been pushed to top
speed to come from behind in the
afternoon to defeat Lawrence 24-19
in the semi-flnalS.
Ben Davis likewise was forced to
come from behind in the second
session in the afternoon after trail
ing 81 at half time. Outstanding
players of the tournament we're:
