 Schacht who devises the skits and works them out, plays the part of Tunney. They set up their tiny ring just off the diamond, draft seconds and all the paraphernalia of the prize ring and go to work.

Add to the latest mystery oi baseball life the strange case of Nick Altrock and Al Schacht, con- cdy team of the Washington Sen atorS.
 For years and years-since 1919, In fact-Nick and Al have cavorted sfore American league crowds each ceason, their funny stunts never failing to lure chuckles and gulf flaws from the fandom. As com- edy team they were the funniest thing that ever hit baseball.
 They were smart enough to keep abreast of major doings in other branches of sport. Gertrude Ederle had scarcely completed her famous paddle across the English Channel .efore Nick with tiny skirt .round his middle to maintain the feminine illusion, was puffing and aboring about in the dirt back of home plate before the start of the Senators games while. Al tenderly gave him aid and sustenance.
 As soon as Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills had caught the imag- nations of the sports public, Nick and Al appeared with their phan- tom tennis match, an uproarious spectacle. Placidly Nick stroked an imaginary ball while Al made des- perate efforts to return it, finally winding up in a heap on the sod as Nick came to the net and blast ed him from the court. Then they did it in slow motion.

GOVERNOR ERICKSON, THE MAN

A United Press news reporter thus vividly portrays the scene at
the capitol when Governor Erickson delivered his message to the legs-
AZURE:
One of the most striking pictures of the week, unheraded in
press reports, was the message of Governor Erickson to the Joint ses.
sion of the house and senate. The Old Viking, white haired and
cloaked with a natural dignity, stood before the assembly, distin-
guished by the presence of state officers, justices from the supreme
court and spectators. His was not the message of former years, when
the state was III a zenith of prosperity; instead he told of lowerei
incomes, of the effect OF the depression; urged careful consideration
of the needs of the state, and projected a program of economy.
No black picture, was the governors message; nor partisan,
either, for he stood in what might have been an inimical position,
with strong Republican majorties in either house. But Democrat
and Republican alike heard something in the man speak in that mes
sage. The governor threw forth a torch to the legislators; Let our
query of the Waterman in the tower be not What of the night?" bu:
rather, What of the morning?"

a pRoMIsg DEMANDING REDEMPTION

When the newspapers of the state opened their columns and gave
wholehearted support to measures 33 and "a last Fall they did it
with several definite purposes in view. All with a sincere desire TO
aid and relieve the most acute needs of the state institutions. One
of the definite purposes the newspaper men had in mind was the
School of Journalism at the University. The deplorable, almost dis
graceful conditions that exist in the building that serves as a wind
break for more than $50 students (he largest department of the u
have been the subject Of discussion at various state gathering for
years. Promises have been repaid with promises. Nothing has been
done. Now comes a real opportunity for the legislators to make
good with a decent appropriation for a building out of the bond issue
for such purposes.
AS one special favor in return for all the loyal and gratis work
the newspapers have done for the state in times of need the editors
and publishers are asking their senators and representatives for this
appropriation, and they are saying please, but not maybe.
No body Of gradutes who go from the University out into the
state and into other states reflect greater credit on Montana and it's
university than those from Dean Stones school of journalism. They
are stepped in the spirit of the Treasure State. It's a force that's
always working for Montana. Let the law makers reflect o N the con
dtfon that would have confronted them if these referendum measures
had not carried. Would they have carried without the united sup.
port of the state press?

THE SPECTACLE AT WASHINGTON

If there ever was a time when politics, prejudice and small cali
be tactics should be laid on the shelf while the emergencies that
confront the country and the administration receive prompt, nonparti
san and unselfish consideration, it is now. 1t calls for broadminded
men in places of authority Men of mature judgment, humane sym
pathies and decision-men like Herbert Hoover. The presidents
problems are perplexing enough without having large numbers from
each house of Congress ready to place Instructions in his way at
every turn. He refuses to play politics and there lies the seat of most
of the trouble He has regard for his oath of office and his American
citizenship. He has a mind of his own. His critics feel themselves
clothed with too much power to subordinate themselves to anyone.
But they are ready to go to the extremes of unfatrness to make his
burden heavier and to hang on him the blame for everything thar
disappoints, displeases Or crosses any person, party or faction. 1t is
enough to disgust and discourage the electorate of the nation who
must behold the spectacle and sit helpless between elections.

GRAND JURY RUMoRs IN INCOME

People coming over from McCone county say petitions ire again
being circulated demanding that another grand jury be called to probe
the county affairs. This procedure was gone through in that county
only a few months ago and an action against the commissioners fell
flat for want of evidence. A disinterested judge threw the cases out
of court for total lack of merit. But the taxpayers had a bill of some
$1,000 to pay.
The levelheaded and fairminded people of McCone county feel
that there is a limit to all things, and that the limit has been reached
in the matter of paying for useless court actions just to crafty the
few who may hold a grudge. 1t is just a easy to circulate petitions
against more grand jury expense as to circulate n for a grand jury.
and reports indicate that counter petitions will be circulated. 1t is
believed they will carry a much weight with the court a. the other
kind.
