What Is This Manic?

WHEAT is this strange alchemy
w which almost overnight
changes sworn friends OF legisla-
tive bill into either opponents or
vote duckers?
II you are able to answer that
you can explain how it happened
that, after the conservative ana
wealth-minded senate passed a bill
reducing the petty loan interest
from 81 to 2 per cent a month, the
high-minded and liberal representa-
tives killed the bill by a 56-25 vote.
There was majority for passage
of the bill Sunday, and it appeared
that the house would have we'll
nigh excellent record for passing
social reform legislation.
But the old smirch on the record
appeared when the roll on passage
of the small loan bill was called,
and, to the surprise of every OBJ
server, the bill was killed.
That some members would vote
against the reduction measure was
I
this and other sessions indicated
that service of self and not that of
the people was their guiding rule
but why many of the others played
Benedict Arnold or ducked is quite
another tale.
One block of eighteen Republican
votes against the Dill is worthy of
| comment-not that the members OF
this party alone are eulpable. But
it is interesting to note that the
small loan lobbyist, known familiar
ly as Teapot Dome" because of his
prodigal manner of entertainment
and liberality in relieving the dis
tressed, was confident that he would
get just that number of G. o. P.
votes against the measure, they tell
me.
Memory harks back to the cam
paign last spring, when it was ru-
mored that a certain unfortunate)
candidate had received campaign
contributions from small loan oper-
| ators.
But let that go-for, after all, he
isn't coming back and let's hope
that better man replaces him.
That should explain partly the
magic which changed some friends
of the bill into opponents.
Then there we're several Demo-
cratic representatives who said
Saturday they were going to make
/ speeches in favor of reduction and
then ducked the vote late Monday.
That's peculiar, but perhaps Tea
pot Dome" can explain.
Of course many Democratic votes
were brought over to the opposition
through the persistent and persua-
slve arguments of Alex Pursley of
Hartford City. operator of several
small loan companies and Fifth dis
trict Democratic chairman.
~
What Democratic representative
is so foolhardy as to make an enemy
Of a powerful district chairman?
It's the same sad old story. Session
after session begins with a majority
Of the representatives swearing that
they will halt the gouging by the
small loan operator and cut the AZ
annual per cent to a decent and
fair figure. Then comes the debacle.
The magic goes to work and the
bill either is killed or lacks sufficient
votes for a constitutional majority.
What is this magic?
Is it the long green kind of magic
or does the weeping and wailing of
the poor, distressed, bloodsucking
loan sharks so affect the kind hearts
of the sentimental legislators that
they forgot the plight of the needy
wage Garner, crushed beneath the
burden of debt and mounting
| interest
1t must be magic-but what kind?

CHOOSE LACROSSE

When the matter was put to a vote of the students. St. Johns College of Maryland decided 1t would rather have lacrosse than baseball, since they were insuffic- tent funds for both.
 This attitude may be either the cause or the effect of St. Johns being the present national lacrosse champion. At any rate it is a feature of the old Indian game $ extraordinary popularity among col lege men in the South Atlantic district. It is not exaggerating to say it ranks next to and perhaps rivals the interest in football

It is regretable thas IL took an abnormal death toll in football last season to focus more attention upon the need for greater super vision of schoolboy athletics, but the fact that today is that various agencies are working for the bene- fit of the boys who will be the college players and stars of to- morrow.
 Until the National football rules committee decided upon certain drastic changes in the playing code it was the feeling of many inter scholastic leaders, among them Ed ward J. Storey of WeStchester, sec- retary of the Mems Athletic Sec tion of the American Physical Edu- cation association, that the high schools might be obliged to take independent action
 This is not necessary now, since the safeguards needed for the schoo1ooys, as we'll as the college men, are included in the 1892 reg ulations.
 In noting a variation of football for the younger generation Storey writes:
 Prominent physical educators are commenting very favorably up- on the design of a junior official football for use in elementary and junior high schools for playing the popular game of pass football This ball is of my own design, and have adjusted it as to size by con siderable research with kids. This ball will appear next fall in many junior high schools for the play ing of this game.
