The horse racing bill was kicked out; and it is not likely that the "Boxing" bill will be heard from. Senator Crouse seems to feel that he may be able to land tha St. Joseph enabling act, to give the people of St. Joseph an opportunity to vote on the "Managerial" plan of government, but that appears somewhat uncertain. One big thing is the several appropriation bills for the prisons, schools, the state university and other institutions.

Not one of these has as yet been passed. Most of them are ready. Ail the state schools arc asking for big in-1 creases over last year, and some will doubtless got more; and some of them will not. All claim to need more, and asked for about one-third to one-half more than they are likely to get. Some of these measures may be concluded in the house this week, but fall will hang for days, perhaps weeks, yet.

There arc a score of these appropriation measures to consider, but with real desire to put them over all of them would be put over in about two days, were the boys ready to take them up. It was shown here this week that there are more prisoners in the state penitentiary today than ever before in the history of the state. There are 4,380 of them today, and they are arriving about a dozen every day from the country towns, and the big cities. Governor Caulfield is parol-ling more than he otherwise would, it is said, but must do something to make room for the new arrivals, who will break in," if the warden does not give thorn entrance. It is reported that if the influx continues they will have to "sleep in shifts." The prison could nicely care for about three thousand, yet there are four thousand three hundred here, and it takes money to feed this army.

Just what the future holds for the prisons and prisoners of this country is one of the big problems. And when the Hawes bill becomes active, when the works will stop in a measure, the outlook is not a cheerful one. There is to be a meeting of governors soon in New York to discuss the problem, "What to do with the prisoners." But no. DrGnto Pres. and Mgr.

He made a good impression, and the boys, regardless of politics, seemed glad to meet and greet the young congressman, the man who had knocked two of the biceest and leading Democratic lawyers and politicians in that section of Missouri into two "cocked hats, and sent them into the limbo of outer darkness for all time, it is said. Those two big Democrats were Louis V.

Stieall and Judge R. E. Culver. It was a man's job to do that, but the friends of Mr. Hopkins down here said, 'Little Davy did the job with neatness and dispatch." Mr.

Hopkins was hailed by many, especially Republicans, as the next governor, but he simply smiled, said "thanks," and let it go at that. Senator Hawes is coming home in a few days, and has promised to come down and visit with the boys at the capitol, and of course he will speak and tell us all about it, and will doubt less say that he has not made up his mind yet, as to being a candidate to hnirt liiu inh as senator for Missouri. mov thnt h. nnd hovs all say that he will be in the race next year and will win that is what the Democrats say. Colonel Thomas Lysaght, Ambassador and Minister Extraordinary from St.

Joseph, drops in and out two or three times a week, and tells some of the boys that it feels like old times to come back and meet the boys, and sec the old familiar faces, and visit the places bo dear to his heart. As is well known, for a period of some eight years the Colonel was conspicuous about the capitol for his absence. But this year, old memories came back, and he took on new life, and renewed his youth. He is playing in superb manner the act and makes a charming "Colonel House," but who is playing the Woodrow act," is something of a mystery. Of course the Colonel is Just coming to cheer and comfort the boys, and compliment them on the noble and self-sacrificing work they are doing in "saving the country." He has no special object in being here, and just comes through force of habit, and to see that everything is straight and above board, and that all the cards are placed face up on the tabic.

Not for a moment would he countenance or dream of anything not square and in the open. The Colonel is built that way, and as the years come and go he becomes more and more circumspect and devoted to the principles of a "square deal. The boys are always glad to see him, and heavy hearted when the times comes for his departure. He is not the only patriot, notables of other days, who just drops In to see the boys. The Colonel is deeply interested in his registration measure, and would tike to see the Home Rule police bill put over, but is not a "sweetheart the City Manager" measure, and does not care two whoops about It and would not shed a tear if it died in the "making." But he, it is reported, being indifferent, ia not giving that measure much consideration one way or the other.

He Just comes down to see the boys because It is in the blood, you know. Dwight Morrow, senator from New lerwy, scarcely ever heard of four or five years ago, has become the world's wonder for high flying," hav- ing made a great record. For years a big man in the Morgan group of bankers; sent to Mexico as ambassador by Coolidge; kept there by Hoover; one of the delegates to the London world's disarming conference; tather-in-law of Charles Lindbergh; grandfather, and senator from New Jersey and ail in four or five years. If that is not flying, name it yourself, tn addition to all this he Is prominently named as a Republican candi date for 1932. but says "No.

I am for Hoover, and don't care who knows it." And that is not all. He sat in the nenate three months; never missed a vote or a roll call, and never got on his feet to make a motion or aujnres- Jlion during his three months ia his first sesnon. Morrow is a thinker, a worker, and a doer, but not a gabber. If the nrnate had fifty such men II m-Mld be the greatest law making body ia the civilized world. Last week another old ticca died ia Philadelphia, who was oa the stage at the Ford Theater the Bight that President Lincoln was shot to death by John Booth.
