Speaker Tom Reed brought down from Maine a new shorthand reporter for the House of Representatives Introducing him with a wry smile, Reed said, This is Ruel Small. He's a good shorthand reporter, but he's getting on in years. That was in 1898, and Small was 50 years old. He began taking notes of debate in the house, kept it up for nearly 40 years, and died in harness last week. He would have been 90 in September. There is no parliamentary body in the world where rotetaking is more difficult.

BUT the point if we simply assume that the we shall miss n prove Kansas City to he a city and let it go at tliat. Kansas City does operate under a boss, of course. But what big city doesnt, to a greater or lesser degree? Where is the metropolis which has not within recent memory had frauds precisely like those of Kansas City? And which of d us, as an individual, is alert enough and scornful to entitled be to own his in any point city enough finger at Kansas City ? The thing to remember in any case of this kind is that we always get the kind of government we deserve. A political boss does not go to the crossroads in the incandead of night and recite a mysterious, mumbo-jumbtation that puts a spell on the good people of the town. There is no magic about it. lie gets control because the people let him get control. He strikes a bargain with the electorate. He performs favors, for instance; little ones and big ones.

Roosevelt seeks fewer justices who construe the constitution as Justices Sutherland, Butler, Van Devanter, McReynolds, Roberts, and sometimes Hughes construe WASHINGTON the supreme Side cowt it, and more justices who interpret it as Brandeis, Stone, and again, some times Hughes interpret it. and many in the legal profession, insist the court has merely carried out the manin its date of the constitution opinions. Roosevelt contends that personal convictions, theories cr prejudices have guided the majority. Car-doz- o The conservative position was taken by Justice Roberts when he read the 6 to 3 adverse opinion in the AAA case, as follows; When an act of congress is appropriately challenged in the courts as not conforming to the constitutional mandate, the judicial branch of the government has only one duty: to lay the article of the constitution which is invoked beside the statute which is challenged and to decide whether the latter squares with the former."

In winter I frequent a pool where family groups gather. There's something about swim- ming that is good for the soul. At the winter-tim- e pool the instructor conducts contests every so often for the youngsters, pitting them against each other in classifications according to their ages. Speed swimming, while the race Is in progress, is one of the most ardous forms of exercise. Rowing is the only sport I know that requires more concentrated physical energy. Yet in spite of the fierceness of the contest, almost every race ends with a grin on the face of every contestant. Once in a while you may see a racer who couldnt take it, whose failure to win soured his disposition. But nearly d pat always there's a on the back for the winner and a smile on the faces of the whole-hearte- also-ran- s. And that, I say, Is the very essence of good sportmanship. A year ago some of us who e sat at the and watched tiny ones splashing their way to glory or defeat, were much impressed with the happy smile on the face of a little miss who very consistently came in last in every race in which she was entered. She enjoyed the race3 so thoroughly that she actually wore a smile while she was swimming down the roped lanes. Although she was always the last to pull herself out of the water at the end of each race, she smiled pust as happily as If she were the winner. She could splash as much water as any of them, but did too much splashing in one place. Her racing form was simply no good. That was last year. This winter we watched the races again, and the same little girl with her infectious smile again stood out from the happy crowd. But this year the results were different. Her racing form was superb. She won every race in which shu was entered, with one exception, and placed second in that. She was a gracious winner, but had previously been a glorious loser. It is glorious to lose well. rail-sid- good-nature- La-mo- nt as if in answer to this, said in his message to congress Jan. 6, that meins must be found to adapt judicial interpretation to the actual present needs of the largest progressive demo-rac- y in the modern world We do not ask the courts to call powers into being," he said, but we have u right to expect that conceded powers or those legitimately implied shall be made effective in- of struments for the common good.
