Wilson Gives
Suffrage
a Hand

<<TT is my earnest hope" said
President Wilson, 'that the
Senate of the United States
will pass the suf-
frage amendment to our Federal Con-
stitution before the end of this session."
So the President wrote in answer to
memorial sent him by the French
Woman Suffrage Union
Does this make the Susan B. Anthony
amendment an Administration measure?
Suffragists believe it does, and have
every hope that the bill will meet the
happy fate of other measures sponsored
by the President. The press Of the coun-
try, too, believes that the Presidents
words were meant as a plain mandate

these watchdogs guarded the Treasury
and watched each other with great sue

rivalry and suspicious Of their owners
Uncle Sans accumulations waved fat and
became more and more alluring AS tine
passed. and these accumulatons multiplied.
the financial virtue Of the factions was
gradually but surely disintegrated by the
temptation to divide and enjoy them. They
gazed more and more avidly at the vaults
which contained them, and more and more
reproachfully at their vigilant watchdoes
keeping sentinel over them. The barriers
of their moral resistance finally yielded
to the unremitting pressure of opportunity.
80 the watchdogs were gradually toled
away from the Treasury portals and tied
IN the backyards, where they were starved
and their breed finally extinguished.
CANNES Of different quality have been sub
stituted for them. They watch the Treas
ury, but only to ascertain whether any
thing is left in it or about to be put in
it. They do not watch those who need
watching, but they watch for them. Their

the Browning gun? The gentleman said we
had whole lot Of Browning guns. Where
are they?
Mr.. SEALLENBERGER: They are in the

Mr.. MADDEN: How many Browning guns
have we got?
Mr.. SHALLENBERGER I am going to
say something to the House about the
Browning gun, and / do not want to make
my speech now.
Mr.. MADDEN: The gentleman might tell
us now 1t his speech is good.

side, each of them very much like every

corridors that have that rare inst.tu-
tional smell you get so quickly in urt

are two miles of these corridors, which
seems contemptibly moderate estimate

around them to the Office he hopes to

already been told about the building, the

you stand in several queues waiting for
chance to ask for pass to see whom
soever you have come to call upon. There
is no possible way Of gett ng past the two
forbidding gentlemen who stand in the
way toward the broad corridor that runs
around the first floor. Symbolically, per-
haps, each of them has at his side an
almost man-sized 16-inch armor- piercing
shell. Whether this is for protection or
show has never been made manifest. At
least to this writing neither guide has
had occasion to pick up one of these
shells and hurl it in self-defence. They
are iron men, these fellows, and they
bow to nothing but uniform. A silk hat
and frock coat won't make deeper dent
in their impressive faces than bowler.

So HE war has ouadrupled the breed

stitutes the principal source of competition
between Uncle Samuels factions. The
things which have become and are becoming

enhance within their scope the Garabed
scheme to harness natural energy and pur-
chases Of imaginary homes for homeless
lnd1ans. The hungry, bowling, clamorine
pack has surrounded the Treasury, bur
rowed under it and swarm all over the roof.
Time is fleeing. 1t creates opportuni-
ties, but it bears them along it's hurrying
tides. This war is opportunity, and all
wars must end some time. Hence, other
avenues to the money vaults, all Of

lobster and make him quit blushing when

The Golden Book of Congress

in the history of this nation when this gov
eminent ought to take prospector by the
hand and do everything possible to assist
him. this is the time.
There are minerals that are vitality needed
In this country for which we are almost
entirely dependent at this time upon other
lands, and it is the fondest hope Of mining
men that there may be found in this country
a sufficient supply Of these minerals to take
care of our needs. We have made a very
commendable progress in the potash propo
~ition. There is NOW being studied and in
vestigated in the West the tin proposition.
Along many other lines these Investigations
should be followed and the prospector should
be helped by having near at hand stations
where he can go for advice, where he car
have help to solve the problems that con-
front him. While men from agricultural
states might think the problem is general,
the problem is specific. Practically each
mineral belt of the nation has its own prob
lens that peculiar only to that locality.
By establishing mineral stations widespread
over the country we will secure the greatest
possible production of the minerals that Wa
need so badly.

Washington, June 20.
N FRANCE they quit for {, breath
ing spell, but in Washington they
have dispensed with breathing.
The embattled guards who stop
you with their keenly sharpened indeli-
BILE lead pencils at the door of every gov
eminent building in Washington fight
valiantly from dawn to sunset, snatch a
few restless hours Of slumber and then
return to their posts to do battle again
with the enormous armies of persons
who stand outside of government build
ings and would like to be inside.
1t has a technical quality all IDS own,
this battle of Washington. Some of the
common elements of modern warfare arc
present, it is true. There are the shock
troops from New Jersey, for instance,
fighting for war contracts. There are
the Women's Legions who storm the
Ordnance Department every morning.
There are the Colonials holding the

starved out after an arduous siege. But
there are scattered instances Of advance
in out Of the way sectors that display a
remarkable courage and a strategy that
a Petain or Foch might scarcely hope
to match.
The battle is hottest every day at the
Pennsylvania Avenue entrance to the
State, War and Navy B dlding. Why
this should be so it is difficult to say. The
interior of the State, War and Navy
Building represents nothing that any
body should crave to p-ssess. The out
side is moderately interesting, beng an
adaptation, as the architects from 1871
to 1898 found it possible to adapt, Ct Il

remains broad all the way up. However,

Uncle Sans increasing family was divided
into factions bearing attractive and inspir-

ment of his affairs first to one and then to
another OF these factions as their chang

Each OF these factions championed econ

claimed monopoly of the virtue Both
had their watchdogs, who succeeded with
their masters in the guardianship of the
Treasury. Hence, Uncle Samuel took no
great concern as to the safety of his strong
box, and especially since the watchdogs on
duty were watched in turn by the dogs in
temporary retirement.
Moreover each of Uncle. Sans factions
commended that it's watchdogs were the onlv
thoroughbreds, and those of the opposition
were mongrels and coyotes masquera6ing
as dogs of pedigree. Uncle Sam was
pleased with this situation, since theft or
misrepresentation would be detected and
exposed by fractional sclf-interest, prompt

the factions at these meetings always
paraded their own virtues and watchdogs
with great pride and viewed the vices of
the other faction and its watchdogs with
great alarm. They also compared each
his own economies in past administration
of Uncle Sans fiscal affairs with the reck-
less extravagances OF the other faction. SO
common has this formula become that it
has persisted down to this hour. No pride
