He has been spokesman and coherent for the same group and to awaken concern with the idea that the im- migration entry laws would be made more liberal. It is manifest that his desire is to work for the benefit of special interests, contrary to that of the public.
 Minority special group interests are the bane of American public life, seeking by coercive means to have public representatives serve them.

When the federal government decides to honor somebody with special stamp only deceased individuals can be chosen. No living person has been honored with an U. s. postage stamp, although the countenances of living persons may be seen on few issues It's good habit to stick to and in more ways could be copied throughout the nation.

Press Comment
NEW STATES
Boston Post)

A memorandum has been sent by the Puerto Eician Legislature to President Roosevelt and the Con- gress calling attention to the fact that the island government wants to be included as a State of the Union. The citizens there wish an elective Governor and the transfer to him of the power of appointing the members of the island Supreme Court. Hamaii also wishes to be our next State. The Territory of Alaska should be considered. These outlying possessions will some day be States and their wishes are not out of order at the present time.

 ergetic and brinming with er1- thusiasm, eager to see the sights, but anxious to get home before daybreak.
 q would like to be able to stay up all night" he said, because there's so much to catch up on"
 He was wearing 8 dark, con- servatively-cut suit with unob- trusive stripping. Of heavy cloth, it looked over burdening for a warmish night. We can't get Tom to change to any other" said one of Mooney's companions. "It's his prison suit-and he's attached to it."
 "Well, it fits perfectly" said Mooney. '.The boys at San Quen- ten took special pains with it. The prison tailers put me through five fittings, so the suit would lie per- fectly, and I guess it ought to look all right!"
 The most widely publicized of all political prisoners has a hum- orous glint in his eye that he can't suppress. For a man who has spent much of a lifetime in bar red cell, he is joyfully conversa- tional. He likes to meet people and exchange banter. He was one of the loudest to applaud at Abe Lincoln in Illinois and he would have gone on all the thrill rides at Coney if time permitted.
 Nor is he platform shy. He faces a speaking schedule of an address a night in large cities all over the country for three solid months and he doesn't think he's being crowded.
 DISBELIEvING
 WIFE
 Eddie and Ida Cantor are cur- rently celebrating their twenty fifth wedding anniversary, and the pop-eyed comic is chockful of do- mestic anecdotes.
 In telling a few on the Cantors the other night, he recalled the time he was invited to party for the Prince of Wales. He ac- cepted, of course, and since there was no way of reaching his spouse, he didn't see her until he arrived home at five o'clock in the morning.
 "Where've you been?" came Ida's chilly greeting.
 q was with the Prince of Wales," responded chastened Ed die.
 "Oh, go to sleep,' replied Mrs. Cantor. T suppose tomorrow, you'll come home at six o'clock in the morning and say you were out with President Coolidge!" BABY
 APOLOGY
 Eddit also tells of one of the occasions when he was about to become a parent.
 It was in Chicago where he was with a show and word arrived that Ida would present him with another baby that day. Patiently he sat by the phone, awaiting the happy tidings. Surely, he would have a son this time, after three daughters! But the call did not come.
 When he returned to the stage telegram arrived in the midst of the act and he opened it eager ly. It said, Excuse it, please! Ida"
 A girl, of course.

By ROBERT McSHANE

MISS BETTY JAMESON, newly
W crowned queen Of the Ameri-
can fairways, occasioned no great
upset when she won the National
Women's Golf championship recent
ly at Noroton, Conn.
In the first place, Miss Jameson
is sturdy, solid sort of a player.
When she defeated 19-year-old Dor0-
thy Kirby of Atlanta in the final
round, even the most rabidly Dixie
minded fans admitted that the Geor-
gia girl lost to the better shotmak-
er. Betty, Miss Kirby's senior by
only one year, is recognized as one
of the finest players in feminine
ranks.
This was the second time the two
finalists had met. Two years ago.
in the southern championship, the
pride and joy Of Atlanta beat Miss
Jameson and 2. The slender Geor-
gia girl was just too good. This
year, in the National meet, the Ia
bles were turned. Long-striding Tex
as Betty walked away from Miss
Kirby during the first nine holes,
and never gave her chance to
catch up. She was up at the ninth,
up at the eighteenth, 2 up at the
twenty-seventh. She took the match
and championship title on the thir-
ty-fourth green with the same score
by which her opponent beat her two
years ago-3 and 2.

pendable. Just as a $50 batter may

game is basically solid. Every shot
is played clearly and crisply. She
has no swinging weakness, and is
one of the longest hitters among
women golfers.
Though she isn't an overnight SEN
sation Betty did get an early start.
That's why, at the age Of 20, she
managed to annex the women's IT,
tie. She won the Texas municipal
championship when she was IL
years old, the state women's crown
at Is, and the Southern at IS. Since
that time she has been major con-
tender in numerous other sectional
tournaments.
One of the most deliberate play
ers in the game, she takes plenty
of time to survey her lie and to hit
the ball. Before putting she seems
to memorize each blade Of inter-
vening grass.
Miss Jameson IL the fourth new
champion in four years. Mrs. Glen
ma Collet Wares victory in 1885, her
sixth, marked the end Of the old
order. Since that time the title has
been held by Pam Barton Of Eng
land, IS years old when she won It;
by Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page Of
Chapel Hill, N. c., . newcomer; by
Miss Patty Berg Of Minneapolis,
who, even in her early teens, was
acknowledged to be one Of the best
women golfers In America, and who
was unable to defend her title this
year because Of illness, and row by
Miss Jameson.
Winning this tournament may be
Of inestimable value to the girls
game. It will give her confidence,
and will help end q tendency to
tighten up at crucial stages, one of
her difficulties for the past two years
Of competition.
II looked for a while as II Betty's
tenseness might cost her the tourna-
ment. She had been 4 up at the
end of the first 10 holes, marking
down a sparkling 49, She looked
like an easy winner then, but tight
ened UP to such an extent that she
couldn't get her tee shots, and some
Of her approaches, working normal
ly. Miss Kirby almost caught up to
her, winning three holes back on the
first six Of the outgoing round.
Her game came back, however.
She won the twenty-seventh by soar
ing TIVE beautiful wood shots to the
green. She played for pars and got
halves on the twenty-eighth and
twenty-ninth, and won the thirtieth.
The competitive temperament win
come to her, and that's all she needs.
The eyes Of Texas can well rest
upon Miss Betty Jameson--a real
champion.

Rainnnakers

Charles Drake, assistant to P. K.
Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Ma
tional league ball team. gives this
account Of the manner in which the
team became known as the Cubs.
The National league was formed
in 1876. Through 1877 to 1897 the
Chicago entry was managed by Ad-
rian C. Arson, and called AnsOn's
Colts. Subsequently the team had
such nicknames as Rainmakers,
Cowboys, Bronco Busters and Or
phans.
In 1901 the late Fred Hayner,
sports editor of the Chicago Daily
News, used the term Cubs when re-
ferring to the club. But from 1902
through 1906 the team, by q ma
jority Of fans, was called Colts. But
by 1907 the name Cubs had caught
on and the club was universally
known by that name, with none 9TH
er subsequently used.
According to Drake there is no
record Of how or why Hayner hap
pened to use the term Cubs.
