Josephine Preston Peabody, author OF
'.The Piper" was in Washington recent
Iy, she was given a brilliant reception
there, and Mrs. Frederick Schoff. presi-
dent of the Mothers Congress, Miss
Jane Adams, of Chicago, and other dis
tinguished women have been honor
guests of the wives of Congressman.
Mrs, Robert La Toilette, wife Of SEN
ator La Toilette, believes that these
weekly gatherings at the CongressIonAi
Club should replace the round OF ofnclal
calling and to some extent; the ofhciai
entertaining, which now burdens tne
Congressmans wife in Washington.
Mrs. Roberts thinks otherwise.

may have been already a factor, now
ever, in simplifying and reducing this
matter of official calling, for IT Is
easily apparent that less calling Is
done these days than formerly"
Mrs. Roberts is the mother OF rouF
beautiful children, and like Cornelia,
mother of the Gracchi. her children
are her Jewels. She may be counted
upon to be the first Senator's wife to
arrive in Washington eacn year, ana
the last to leave, for she arrives

which public school opens, and re-
mains until the curtain has fallen
upon the sweet girl graduate. The
Roberts home in Chelsea, Mass, Will
not be opened at all this summer
although IL is kept in readiness for
the family at any time-for Mrs.
Roberts and the four children will
remain at the Capital until late in the
extra session of Congress and Will
then go to Gloucester for the remain
der Of the summer.
Mrs. Roberts is devoted to social
life. and is an unusually well read
woman and a charming conversation
alist But she is not Joiner, Tor
though she sympathizes with the
cause of woman's suffrage, she is
affiliated neither with suffrage or
ganfzations nor with women's clubs,
except for membership in the Pro Re
Nata Club Of Washington, and the
Literary Club of Chelsea, her home
town. And she has made her greatest
hits ss president of the Congressional
Club, which is next to being Speaker
of the House.

THE SENATE AND ITS PRE-
SIDING OFFICER.

The Vice President is the consti-
tutional presiding officer of the Senate.
Under the long established precedents
he is permitted, in case of absence
from the chair, to call to the gavel
any Senator he may choose. The SEN
ate, however, chooses its own regular
President pro tempore, who is clothed
with the same powers as the Vice
President, of certifying the passage of
legislation, etc.
The factional fight among Republi-
cans, which has made it impossible
thus far for any Republican to mus
ter a voting majority in favor of any
candidate for President pro tempore,
is the natural outcome of the con-
troversy between the two Republican
elements. Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire became the caucus nominee
by virtue of seniority. A number of
progressives remained away from the
caucus because it was certain he would
be named, and they were unwilling to
aequiesce in his selection. As a result,
the progressives named Senator Capp
of Minnesota as their candidate, the
Democrats voted for Senator Bacon
of Georgia, and Bacon held plurality
but not a majority.
Whatever justification has existed
for the opposition, in years past, to
Mr.. Cannon as Speaker of the House,
may likewise be urged against Senator
Gallinger for pro tempore presiding
officer of the Senate. He has been
an extreme partisan, not as between
Republicans and Democrats, but as
between the elements of his own
party.
1t is not possible to believe, in the
face of Senator Gallinger's record
since progressivism became a force in
the upper chamber, that he would be
able, in appointing committees, in
exercising the power of recognition,
and in other matters which vitally in
fluence legislation, to exercise that
full measure of impartiality which
should characterize the service of
moderator. Senator Gallinger is the
man credited with large part in de-
priving the progressives of their fair
numerical proportion of places on the
;mpotant committees of the Senate.
In appointing special committees it
is to be presumed that he would take
a similar position.
The power of recognition has often
been one of the utmost significance.
To be able to give one man the floor
and deny it to another, is in many
parliamentary exigencies power
whose exercise is certain largely to
determine results. Under the gavel
rule of a man constitutionally dis
posed to extremes of partisanship
there would inevitably arise situations
in which Senator Gallinger's rulings
would breed dissatisfaction. The
contest is by no means to be set down
as a tempest in a teapot. There is
very real Importance attaching to its
outcome.
AS matters stand, it is apparent that
the regular Republicans cannot elect
Mr.. Gallinger without aid, direct or
indirect, from the Democrats. 1t is
not possible to imagine any Demo
Gratis voting for him, but it is quite
possible that a few might be con-
veniently absent at some time, when
the regular Republican vote would
become a majority of all votes cast.
Democrats who would thus contribute
to the choice of such an extreme
partisan as Gallinger, would find diff
fculty explaining their dereliction to
constituents.

SAYS CLUB CAN'T DO
SOCIAL HOME DUTIES
Its Object to Bring Wives Of OFF,
ciafs Into More Intimate
Association.
By SELENE ARMSTRONG.

The man and the hour, or rather, the
woman and the opportunity. met and
embraced one clustering day last Feb
ruary, when, after some merry ballot
ing by the wives of Representatives
and Senators, Mrs. Ernest Roberts,
wife of Representative Roberts, OF Mas
sachusetts, was inaugurated president
OF the Congressional Club.
Now it's something Of an honor to be
Speaker of the House. we know. but
to woman the presidency OF the Con-
gressional Club looks bigger. It does
not claim that high sounding title, "the
highest Office within the gift of the peo-
pie" simply because the people haven't
got the right OF suffrage at the Congress
sional Club, but It Is the highest Of
fee within the gift Of the women Of Of
fetal Washington.
And II you have not crossed the sa-
cred portals of the club house on K

tiful retreat for the wives of Senators,
Representatives, and other men In the
official circles OF the Capital 1t offers
cozy hooks and corners wherein the
wife of a Congressman from Georgia
may conflde to the wife of a Congress-
man from Nebraska that the baby has
a new tooth, or wherein the best novel
of the season, Canadian reciprocity, or
the latest harmless tid-bit of gossip may
be discussed and enjoyed without inter
ruption, and in a more intimate and
leisurely manner than Is permitted dur
ing the official call Of one woman upon
another.

Representation From
Every State In Union.

THE Congressional Club" said Mrs.
Roberts today. in explaining something
of the aims and purposes of the famous
organization of which she is the be-
loved president. rs. as you know, an
organization that is really national In
its scope. Every State in the Union is
represented in its membership, wives of
Senators. Representatives, and of other
men in official life here comprising Its
go members.
Now the main purpose for which
the club exists is to bring these women
into closer relationship with each other.
They are a great body having identical
interests, but they have never, before
the organization of the Congressional
Club, found a common meeting ground.
Every woman has paid her official call
upon every other woman, making her
way through a crowded drawing-room
usually to receive a few words Of greet
ing from her hostess, or perhaps ex-
changing cards year after year with
women whom she never sees except at
some big party or other.
