Some Congress Inquiries

Why does the Senate, whose heart
bleeds for the democracies OF Europe
threatened by Prussianism, pass an
espionage bill with q censorship clause
that Kaiser Bill might be glad to copy
right in Germany? When are we going
TO have national prohibition? A new
deal in taxation that will conscrlpt
wealth and pay part of this war debt
as we go? Rigid control on food prices
that will prevent Kansans returning
from Berlin with the Gerard party
from telling our envious housewives Of
potatoes available there at 80 cents
bushel?
Dear old East. don't worry so much
about our patriotism out here. Keep
your Manhattan on.
And the next time you're down to
Washington you might just drop mint
to Congress that the bacillus of leglsla-
tive revolution can come over from
Russia and England and France just as
well as the Hessian fy-and it will
make the grasshopper fight of the 7O's
look like beehive in January excuse
the figure) if you don't get down to
brass tacks back there and quit feeding
us folks out west Of the Mississippi a
lot of bunk about waking up to the
war situation. Remember California
And Kansas! More sound patriotism.

Dear Mr.. East:
We're much obliged TO you for send
ing dear old Papa Jofrc and charm
ing Mr.. Vivian out to see US. Ever
since VIC first saw the fine old marshal
i'm the movies, decorating heroes with
medals and kisses and our women
film ccnsors say the sky's no limit on
that sort Of movie kiss we've had a
hankering to meet him and show
him that We remember the Marine as
well as the Maine. And Vivian Is also
interesting as an example, Of what an
artistic people like the French can DO
But. seriously, Mr.. East, just why
are Jofrre and Vivian sent West, any
how? How can you folks possibly
snare all the vital war secrets bound
I'D with Jofre. or let Mr.. Vivian out
Of your hearing for a whole week at
this critical time?
Just what is your game back there
Mr.. East? Are you trying to excite us
out here just when we are planting
more potatoes? Are you trying to
make us patriotic to arouse slug
gisb rs 10 the seriousness Of the war
situation"?

City Hall Tower,
When Restored, May
Be Minus the Clock
Several Members of Art Com
mission Said to Favor
Original Plans

When discussion of plans for the
restoration Of the City Hall cupola is
taken up in the Board of Estimate this
week there will arise the problem Of
whether it is TO be restored with or
without clock. The question must
be passed upon by the Municipal Art
Commission before work is started.
Several members Of the commission,
according to Robert W. de Forest, its
president, favor a return to the orig
inal plans of John McComb, which did
not provide for a clock tower.
When work started on the dignilied
little building which has been the home
Of the city government since 1872
clocks were not considered a necessary
adjunct to city halls. When clocks
New York authorities resolved to reno
vate their City Hall. regardless of the
ideas of a generation that had passed.
For months the work Of removing
all traces OF the efforts of Jealous
city fathers 10 keep the old building
abreast Of the times has been pro-
ceedlng under the direction of the
Municipal Art Commission. Except
for the ravages Of the fire the interior
now stands as John McCombs saw it.
in his minds eye IN 1903.
Before the fire broke out 10000 had
been appropriated TO reconstruct the
cupola, which badly needed repairing
Plans for the work were in the hands
of Grosyenor Atterbury. but had not
been submitted to the Municipal Art
Commission. II was Mr.. Atterbury,
designer of the court Of honor for the
reception Of the Allied commissions,
who discovered the fire on Thursday.
The virtually complete destruction
Of the cupola at a time when funds
were already at hand for its repair IS
regarded as almost providential by adj
vocatcs Of the plan to restore the work
OF John McCombs to the city in its
entirety.
