Roosevelt was thus honored early in

There's a certain United States
Senator from the wide open spaces
who ordinarily wends his way through
the Capitol wreathed in smiles. Now
adays. his friends observe. he's scowl-
ing. The explanation is that recently
he was described in the newspapers
as sheep raiser, the fact being that
he is a cattleman. Out where the
West begins, it's almost a felony
iustifying homicide to call cattle
man a sheepman.

Something may soon be heard in
Washington OF claim by Germany
for alleged wrongful seizure in 1926
of one of her ships laden with liquor.
The vessel in question, the Carmen,
was bound from Bremen to Halifax on
what the owners of her cargo declare
to have been a perfectly legitimate
mission. A sum of roundly $150,000
is involved in their claim, which has
lust been revived, after having en-
listed the attention of the State De-
partment intermittently during the
past nine years. The boat was nabbed
off Nantucket Island by an American
Coast Guard cutter on suspicion OF
being q rum runner.

Is that somebody has TO keep working
hard in order to finance it. 1t is in
itself an expression of capitalism in

James Aloysius Farley enjoys his
Job at the Post Office Department,
but, If he were to be perfectly candid,
the Postmaster Generals friends are
convinced he'd admit that politics
is his first and all-time love and
that he's most at home when playing
the game at which he has proved
himself master. So if and when
the time comes for Sunny Jim" to
| desert his de luxe habitat on Penn
sylvania avenue and go back to the
hurly-burly of party affairs, the con-
sensus is that he will shed no tears.
He doesn't expect to lose weight or
accumulate gray hairs in the task
of accomplishing President Roose-
velts denomination. The chances are
that Jim already has it figured out,
down to the last delegate. His belief
probably is that the 1886 conclave
will be a mere ratification meeting.
winding up with the remaining of
F. D. r. by acclamation. One thing
Farley is sure of Is that Huey Long
cannot conceivably be threat to
the President either in the conven-
ton or in the campaign as a third

Revived reports that Mr. Farley Is

| that the postmaster generalship since
| time immemorial is the portfolio in
which changes have been most fire.

land had two in each Of his admins

three and President Theodore Roose-
welt four. Both Presidents Taft and
Wilson each got along with one Post

dents Coolidge and Hoover. President
Harding was served by three different

Representative Edward T. Taylor Of
Colorado, acting Democratic moor
leader of the House, has q complex
about living in home Of his own at

he and Mrs. Taylor have chung to
hotel apartments ever since he arrived
in Congress 26 years ago. 1t appears
that once upon q time two Colorado
members of Congress, Representative
John C. Bell and Senator John F.
Shafroth, owed their defeats for re-
election mainly to the issue raised by
opponents that they had acquired
residences in the District of Columbia
and thus broken home" ties with
Colorado. Representative Taylor de-
| cided never to take such risk and
partially attributes to that determina-
tson the fact that he Is now in his

By FRANK "bUCA' ONEALL
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 2s.-The
first game started like a carnival
battle between the bachelors and
benedicts. The Griffs made half
a dozen hits and three runs in
two innings. The Browns came
right back with four runs on six
hits.
It may be said that Hemsley'S
grounder which scurried through
Travis legs and a fly by Cliff
which Manush muffed were not
hits as this writer saw the play.
Bob Poser, who has bounced
around in the minor league for
many moons, worked in relief for
the Browns. He replaced Coff-
man in the box. Poser threw a
down breaking ball-sinker in the
language of the game.
The way Lyn Larry is playing
shortStop would make you rend
your garments and toss ashes in
your hair. Yea, he would make
you weep and wall and gnash
your teeth. He never played that
way in washington.
Maybe it was that he figures ST..
Louis the stop before Kansas City,
and he hasn't the least desire to
go to Kansas City.
julius Solters reflects the coach
ing of Rogers HornSby in his style
at bat. He stands far back in the
box and steps the way the Rajah
used to step, finishing his swing
with wicked flick Of the wrists.
If he can ever learn to hit the way
the Texan hit, he will be all right.
Our Alvin Jacob Powell looked
like a member of the plumbers
union when he went back and
played Carey's drive into a triple.
That break pulled the Griff in
field up on the grass. Poser
walked, setting up a double play
and Lyn Larry, trying for a base
blow, tapped a slow roller to
Travis. The last named threw to
the plate, but Carey slid in safely.
It wasn't long before Hadley was
out of the game.
