This group-David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, sometimes called a "higher type of statesman"; George H. Moses of New Hampshire, implacable diehard; James E. Watson of Indiana, old-school behind-the-scenes man; a few other Republicans; and Democrat, Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, whom only Mr. Heflin robs of the title "Buffoon of the Senate"-were determined to prevent Senator James A. Reed's committee from making any more campaign fund investigations. Mr. Reed of Pennsylvania, particularly, did not want his distant cousin, Mr. Reed of Missouri, to open the ballot boxes which elected slush-tainted William...
...that this agreement is no longer in effect, more intersectional games can be scheduled by Yale, Harvard and Princeton. Harvard has invited Purdue and Indiana to play at Cambridge next fall and Ohio State will play at Princeton. While Harvard probably will not care to return to Lafayette and Bloomington in 1928 because of the small gate receipts. Princeton ought to find that no reason for not being, willing to play at Ohio State in 1928. In fact, such a game would draw the biggest crowd that ever saw a Princeton team play, for the Ohio State stadium is larger...
...angelic choir." Last week Mr. Reed sought to extend his fame as an inquisitor, introduced in the Senate a resolution which would allow his committee to investigate all 1926 Senatorial elections during the recess of Congress (March to December).

I recognize the publicity advantages that would come to the Senator from Missouri between now and the convention...
...operators voted solidly against renewing the Jacksonville agreement of 1924 (five-day week, six-hour day, $7.50 daily wage for unskilled labor). Big-jawed John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers, will now try to reach separate agreements with the operators by districts. In Illinois and Indiana, where the operators can afford to pay high wages, he may be successful. But there will undoubtedly be strikes in Ohio and Pennsylvania when the Jacksonville agreement expires on April 1. Such a strike will cause no immediate tremor, because there is already enough soft coal above ground and enough being...
What Ann Brought Home. Ann was sent to a neighboring town in Indiana for crepe de chine. She brought back a husband, as girls will. The trouble starts when the new bridegroom dreams fish farms when he should be thinking sawmill. However, it ends without a pang. Earl Carroll, known over the country for his daring revues, "bathtub" scandal, is producing the play. For him it is in the nature of a bitter gesture. He said, in as many words, that, since the public was so insistent upon cleanliness and purity in the theatre, he would give them a chance...
