Washington. March s.-Members OF
the house and senate have been much
put out as to their vacation plans BY
the insis1ence Of President Taft te
call An extra session.
1t would take a chapter to tell Of
all the plans that have gone awry
Senator Lodges case is an example
Senator Lodge has been looking about
for a vacation for the last three years
But he has been unable to get any
thing like real one. The special SEES
sion on the tariff kept him in Wash
ington until the dog days. Then came
on the fight in Massachusetts, over the
senatorship. Senator Lodge found out
that his enemies were after his scalp
and were likely to get it unless he
watched over it carefully. So he had no
rest last summer and fall But he
thought the omens for a rest were ia
vorable when the sixty-first congress
had passed into history so he engaged
passage for Europe along the last of
April. He had all plans made to 60
abroad and commune with nature and
historical lore in q most satisfying
fashion. forgetting the maddening
troubles Of the politician In America.
Three weeks ago. he cance.,-d MS pas
sage and now he is confronted with
The prospects OF having to buckle down
to hard work all summer.
Such is the weary life Of the states
man.
