INVESTIGATING CONGRESS' © Congressman Thomas of Oklahoma /took a somewhat novel line a few days ago, when he put in a request that Congress should investigate itself. He felt that many complaints are heard about the | way these lawmakers do their work, and that these \ complaints should be looked into and be either proved or disproved. | If Congress is wrong or partly wrong, he felt it should take notice of its faults, and if it is not | wrong, then the public should be assured of that | fact. good idea, and that congress might well investigate its own methods instead of some of the many sup- There will be many who will say this is a posed evils it has inquired into. ‘ The American people are not noted for rever- | ence for their public officials. If the government | is good on the whole, it is unfortunate if people are-not disposed to respect it. But the custom of | railing at and deriding Congress is common, and it | is generally felt that there for criticism in the doings or the failures of our prin- is much ground cipal legislative assembly. And yet one can not doubt that the congress- men as a whole are bright men, and they must be at least as honest as the average run of people or they would never get elected: | The actions of congress will always be unsatis- factory, so long as so many millions of people act ignorantly at the polls, or will not trouble to vote. To get a congress that shall do its work on a high | level of intelligence, you must make it certain that | the congressman who takes a highly intelligent and | conscientious point of view can commonly get | elected over someone who merely makes a narrow | and selfish appeal. i if Congress will not do its work must better, un- til the people take more interést in politi mand a higher standard on the pagf of their law- and de- HONOR FOR EDITOR t In recognition of his outstanding ‘service to the cause of education, a large group of léading | citizens of Birmingham recently presented _a hgnd- | some loving cup to Victor H. Hansén,~éditor and | publisher of the Birmingham News. For several years the News has conducted a vigorous campaign in the’ interest of better edu- | cational facilities for the youth FoffiAlgbama and | the South. As a practical’ means thward the end | sought Mr. Hanson in 1921 inaugurpted five an- | nual Birmingham. News -scholarshipa one to each | of the higher institution’ of learning in Alabama. | Each scholarship covers all necessary expenses of the student up to $500 a yeav, fpr four years. | Only boys and girls who would otherwise be unable | | | | to attend college are eligible for these, scholarships: The second group of beneficiaries will graduate this month. ss Besides the donation of these &eholarships, at a cost of $10,000 a year, Mr. Hanson madg an out- right gift of $10,000 to the five state nofmal schools | of the state, $2,500 to each, to be used as a re- volving loan fund for the benefit of worthy stu-| dents. He also contribtited largely to the erection of a $150,000 dormitory at the Waman’s College, & y named Weeona Hanson Hall, for Mrs, ‘Hanson. Many other benefactions by Mr.’ Hanson might be enumerated, but these will suffice to evince his | zeal in the cause of education, which has been so | fittingly recognized through the bestowal of this loving cup by his fellow-citizens. DULL BOYS WHO ROSE It is not always the boy who gives the bright- est promise in early life who reaches the greatest heights, as many illustrious examples may prove. In a recent lecture, Dr. Tregold, an eminent British | expert on feeble-mindedness, declared that Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Newton were both backward as children, and would probably have been con- sidered sub-normal by present-day authorities. We may also be reminded that Richard Brins- ley Sheridan, the great dramatist, was character- ized by his own brilliant mother as “‘an impenetrable dunce.” Similar stories are tuld of early dulln on the part of Sir Walter Scott, Thackery, Weil- ington, Cromwell, and even the great Napoleon. Our own General Grant, while always mental- ly alert, was a ne’er-do-well during a part of his life and although he had performed creditable ser- Arms and at the outbreak of the Civil War wa vice in the Mexican War, resigned from the in 18 a clerk in a store at Galena, Ill.
