Capital Sidelights
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

There Is one man in Congress, who
worked and played himself up the lad
der from an orphan asylum, who is
most earnestly supporting the efforts
being made by friends of "Shoeless Joe"
jackson, one Of the accused Black Sox
scandal players Of 1919, formerly one
Of the American Leagues heaviest hit
ters TO have him rdnstated. The ap-
peal has been made to Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, the high commits
sioner Of base ball.
This Congressman Is Representative
Raymond ]. Cannon, born In the min
ing town of Ironwood, Mich who rep
resents the fourth Wisconsin district,
and who earned his way through school
and college by playing professional base
ball, being recognized as one of the
best players In the Middle West.
Cannon as a hedgling lawyer repre-
sented "Shoeless Joe" and the other
Chicago Black SoX in the World Series
scandal, and was legal adviser to the
base ball players of the American and
National Leagues. He attempted to
the same time represented "Shoeless
Joe" Jackson In an action for damages
for breach Of contract against Charles
Ccmiskey. The case was tried in Mil
waukee County, and the jury returned
q verdict in favor of "Shoeless Joe" in
the sum Of $4,000.
The base ball magnates then. pre-
sumably fearing that the Base Ball
Union. sponsored by Mr.. Cannon, would
be success and would give the ball
players voice in their terms of their
contracts, sent into Milwaukee private
detectives. These detectives later testi-
fed under oath that they were en-
ployed by the Chicago White Sox ball
club. and a grand jury was called, and
Comiskey's personal attorney was ap-
pointed special prosecutor. On the eve
ming before a meeting Of the board Of
directors OF the Bare Ball Players
Union was to be held in Chicago, the
White Sox's attorney had the grand
jury return an indictment against Mr..
Cannon, charging him with bribery,
claiming that he had given the district
attorney of Milwaukee County a case
Cannon then forced the case on for
immediate trial and the special prose-
cutors came into open court and ad-
mitted that they had no evidence and
moved to have the case dismissed.
Raymond Cannon was also legal ad-
wiser to Jack Dempsey for ten years
And when John Cthe Barber) Risler OF
New York City started a number of
suits In various parts OF the country
against Dempsey, claiming that Demp-
whereby he was to manage Dempsey for
a number OF years, Cannon successfully
defeated Risler in all Of the actions.

Foreign Trade Now
Highly Appreciated
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Paradoxical 1t may seem, but 1t looks
as though one Of the outstanding re-
suits of our intensified nationalism dur
ing the past year has been a better
understanding of the Importance Of
foreign trade.
1t is true that this has come about
from the workings Of one Of the factors
in President Roosevelt's recovery pro-
gram. However, the appointment Of
George N. Peek, former agricultural ad-
iustment administrator, to be the head
of a new recovery agency for develop
ing United States foreign trade in ag-
ricultural products, through reciprocal
tariffs, barter and other international
agreements. is generally regarded as q
step toward wider participation IN
world commerce.
In fact, at a meeting of the AdverT
tising Clubs of America the other day
several speakers. in commenting on the
existing system of bargaining import
quotas, predicted that under the lead
ership Of President Roosevelt we are
about to enter "an era OF great ex-
pansion in foreign trade" One speaker
declared that as a result Of this bar
gaining Europe will be able to pay US
the greater part of her debt"

social ideal. That Is the glorious truth
which even the least Responsive are
competent to comprehend.
Thus Christmas eve is commemo-
ration of the noblest altruism In the
chronicle Of the race, and its richest
value Is that Of its challenge to the
spirit Of the multitude. It calls the
individual out Of himself, endows him
With the wish TO serve. And the
miracle of 1t Is that Il spares no one.
it shuts no one out. No living soul is
too poor to feel and TO express its
thought. 1t Is q duty and q privilege.
It will be the prayer Of many, If not
of all, that Christmas this year may
be day of universal joy-of apprecia-
tion for being alive in a world where
love. providentially, Is not dead.

loyalty to lit has strengthened beyond
the dreams of that incurable cynic,
Clemenceau, who, disbelieving, never
theless helped to make it. They have
behind them the passionate support of
all the lesser powers, whose liberties
and frontiers alike have no security
except that of the maintenance of the
League. Nor do think that on final
calculation of pros and cons Italy will
break with the League.
But it remains true that if there is
to be a real revival of the League and
: return of the wanderers to the fold,
there must be reforms which time has
shown to be necessary and there must
be concessions to Germany that will
convince her that equality is to be a
reality and that the only motive is to
establish Europe on an indestructible
peace foundation.

Holiday Reminder.

Holiday Reminder.
Up yonder, where the nights endure
And happiness seems insecure,
Beneath Imagination's spell
We bid our gentlest myth to dwell.
There lives the Saint who comes each
year
Visiting Youth and Age in cheer.
There, where the Borealis' glow
Shines on the iridescent snow.
As every year goes on its way
The night is long-So is the day.
"Despressions, though they persevere,
Must yield to sunlight and good cheer

illumination of Pennsylvania miners. the
answer must be a regretful affirmative
Until now the via1s of the Caucasian Ia
borers' wrath have been reserved for the
unprotected head Of the heather Chinee,
but now 1t seems that the pauper labor
OF Europe is invading our shores and it
Is found to be every whit as demoraliz-
ing as that which threatened us from
the populous East. The miners referred
to have issued a proclamation to the
citizens of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania,' declaring that the Hungarian
'serfs' who are brought to the mines
are immoral, INSCRIPTIONS, ignorant
and unwilling to aSsimilate with our
people. They peremptorily state, there
