NO SUNDAY BASEBALL. The Suppreme Court of Pennsyl- vania decides that Sunday Baseball is illegal, but it doesn’t say anything about— Sunday Golf. Sunday Swimming. Sunday Joy Riding. Sunday Picnic Parties. But these are not the pastimes of the masses and the legislators who framed “Sunday Blue Laws” did'nt have any of these innocent pastimes to confront them when the law was farmed. Surely there is no more harm in Sunday baseball than there is in other amusements. WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. The very fact that Patton has had no really serious fires in years speaks- loudly the praises of the Patton Volunteer Fire Department. Many folks give the Fire Company but little thought. However, scores of fires have a start each year that would prove disastrous, were the fire company not on the job. Patton has a combination of fire fighters that usually ‘get there” and “Get there immediately.” This fact has saved unknown thousands of dol- lars worth of property in Patton in the past and will in the future. Firemen, as a general rule, are given only a passing consideration by the populace at large. Few consider that in a town like Patton where there is no paid fire department, all time and work is given gratis by the mem- bers. Recently an accident happened to a member of the Patton Volunteer Company, when he fell from a lad- der while in the consumation of his duties. That his life was spared was nothing short of a miracle. Happen- ings of this kind usually stir the peo- ple for a time, and cause them to ap- preciate the work of the firman. But we should think of that work at all times, and in every way assist the Volunteer Fire Company and its var- icus movements. CONGRESS This newspaper is in receipt of a copy of 1927 Bulletin No. 1 issued for distribution to speakers and writers by the Republican National Commit- tee at Washington, D. C., and entitl- ed “The Congress of the United States.” The bulletin is a review of the work of the Sixty-ninth Congress and contains a few words of appre- ciation of the legislative branch of our government, with a brief fore-word by Chairman William M. Butler. yof progress and prosperity. And in During the past few years a popu- lar impression has gained ground in the United States that the Ameri- can Congress is an organization of small minded men whose principal duty is to meet make lurid speeches draw salaries and adjourn, Nothing could be futher from the truth. As the bulletin referred to above well states, the United States Congress stands head and shoulders above all the legislative bodies of the world in the qualifications of its members and the value of their work. The past six or seven years in American history have been years the effecting of this progress and properity the Congress of the United States has had no little part. It has legislated wisely and constructively in maters of finance, industry, agri- culture and -of social interest. A glance over the list of progressive laws enacted will surprise the aver- age reader. As the bulletin on “The Congress of the United States” well puts it. “The best test as to the merits of tempt to specify was laws it has enacted should be repealed. An ex- pression commonly heard among un- thinking writers and speakers is that the country would be better off if the Congress would adjourn for ten years. Suppose Congress had not been in session during the last six years! Would the country be better off or worse off ? During that time—to men. tion only a few of the outstanding pieces of legislation—the Congress has enacted three tax reduction mea- sures coordinated all of the agencies handling matters affecting ex-service men enacted all of the legislation af- fecting ex-service men, created the Foreign Debt. Funding Commission and ratified the ‘work of that com- mission. During that period it enacted more fundamental legislation looking to the permanent rehabilitation of ag- riculture than was enacted during any previous quarter of a century in the history of the United States—such as the creation of the Intermediate Cre- dit Bank system, coupled with the Warehousing Act, the legalizing of cooperative marking associations and subsidiary legislation facilitating their operation and financing, the Packers’ and Stock-yards Act—to mention a few. During the last six years is has enacted a number of laws vitually af- fecting the rights of labor, the Re- strictive Immigration law, amended the Federal Bank Act, supplanted free trade with a protective traiff, ratified over fifty treaties with foreign coun- tries and made many changes in in- terstate commerce laws affecting ship- pers and transportation agencies.” The record is one of which no sup- porter of American institutions need feel ashamed. Mussolini has prohibted swearing in Italy. What is a fellow going to do when he is in a hurry to get down town on Monday morning and his collar button rolls under the dresser? President * Coolige has probably found that the Black Hills are a great deal quieter than they were when he saw them in the movies. DR. FRANK CRANE SAYS:—RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT Discussion has been going on recently in the press about George Bernard Shaw’s remark that a woman ought to be a mother in orde rto be a good teacher. The remark was made opposing the tendencies in many places to have only unmarried teachers. Many educators have expressed themselves upon one side or the other on this question. After all il is merely a point of view. One side looks at the question as to whether a woman can do a good jb teaching or not. The other side looks at the question as to whether the wo- man ought to have the place or not wih the salary attached. In many places of business a job is looked upon as a sort of special privilege and certain classes are favored in giving jobs out, such as world war veterans, old people, unmaried people and By “Arthur Brisbane MRS. COOLIDGE.COMMON SENSE CHILDREN AND CANARY BIRDS; POLITE GOV. MOODY REAL FLYING AUG 1. Mrs. Coolidge, in South Dakota, sees womer of all kinds, young girls and grandmothers, wearing knickerbockers. Mrs. Coolidge re- spects them and probably admires their common sense, but she will not wear knickerbockers. Rubber boots when she goes fishing and a skirt of reasonable length—never mind if it gets wet. Clothes, as Carlyle shows in “Sartor Resartus,” make all ¢ difference between a king in his grandeur and a “featherless biped.” o Two hundred and seven Ameri- cans reported incomes of $1,000,000 8 year or more in 1925 In 1924 oaly seventy-five seport- ed incomes of 2 million dollars or nce a man owning a million was a wonder. Now have a million or more INCOME and some have fifty millions of income snd a good deal more through cor- poration ownership. And the billion a year income will arrive before earth’s phase of industrial feudalism shall pass. Mrs. Freeman, the unhappy mother whose husband was killed by an automobile, killed herself and her five children when told they must go to an orphan asylum. “Better dead than without a mother,” said the poor woman, and went with them. She was careful to protect twp canary birds. putting them where the deadly gas could not reach them. She knew that canary birds have a value; somebody would buy them and treat them kindly. She knew that children have no value: that she could not be sure that strangers in an asylum would treat them kindly. Visiting New York City with a party of diztinguished Texans, welcomed and looked up to, liter- ally and in other ways, Governor Moody listens and thinks. He ::e:s that New York City is the biggest American factory town, turning out five and a half billion dollars worth of products a year. Governor Moody 1s too po- lite to mention the fact that any State he has seen on his way East, including Mew York, could tucked away in Texas and not at- tract much attention. Texas alone intensively cultivated, could fe every one of the 1,900,000,000 hu- man beings on earth and have room left to raise cotton. While Byrd was flying east across the Atlantic, and two young Army men west across the Pacific, at 110 miles an hour, our interesting visitor, the comet Pons-Winnecke, was leaving the earth behind, pass- ing through various constellations at the rate of 66,600 miles an hour. Shall we, tiny creatures, when released from service on this earth, make some such journey? That would be more interesting than going into the ground to stay there. The VERY DRYS plan a dry ticket in 1928, if neither ty sup- plies them withr a candidate dry enough. It would be enlightening to nominate at least one independent dry. The result would be instruc- ive. Few candidates dare defy the dry, few would want an out and wit dry nomination. At this moment of flying en- thusiasm, one word of caution is necessary, and expert fliers remind you of it. Don’t go up “just to know how it feels” unless you know the pilot and the machine.

If a man can do the business or a woman, either, what dif- ference does it make whether he or she is married or not, or young or old? What most people want in business is results. Who attains them or how they are attained is a matter of indifference so long as it is done honestly. I remember once that a presiding elder in the Methodist church gave as his reason for sending a man to a certain place the following: “If I send that man it will kill the place and if I don’t send him it will kill him, so between the two I will send him, ‘and save the man.” This is a good example of the individual ranking above care for his work. Every man must be judged by the kind of work he does and not by whether he is deserving of the job or not. The other side of civil service is to select men competent for the position and not to give the positions out to certain groups of men. In considering an applicant for the job, common sense tells us to consider his ability to perform the duties of that business and not his ability in some other direction. : A president of the United States or the mayor of a city should be selected because he is capable of performing the du- ties of his office and whether he was a god hand shaker and baby kisser or not has nothing to do with the case, in reality, although in politics it has much to do with it.
