Mr.. WILLIAMS. There ought to be some

Mr.. SHEPPARD. Mr. Lubin originated
the idea of an agricultural institute at
Rome.
Mr. WILLIAMS. SO far as know
anything about Mr. Lubin, fifteen or twenty
years ago in the House of Representatives
and three or four years ago, when he came
here to Washington and summoned Senator'S

have never found that Mr. Lubin had even
an approach to shadow of shade of an
approximation OF common sense laugh ter

make a suggestion to the Senator?
The PRESIDENT pro tcmpore. Does the
Senator from Mississippi yield to the Sena-
tor from Texas?
MI WILLIAMS. Yes
Mr.. SHEPPARD. want to suggest the
fact that Mr.. Lubn sent for the Senator
from Mississippi indication of his an
usual ability and knowledge of human
nature. Laughter.
Mr.. WILLIAMS. l deny that That was
mere accidental violation Of Lubin's usual
performance. LLaughteri Of course, the
fact that the Senator from Mississippi was
sent for might have been tribute to any
body who sent for him purpose and with
the deliberate intent and with a knowledge
of what the Senator from Mississippi meant
and intended and thought, but Mr. Lubin
never even had that much knowledge of. the
Senator from Mississippi. OF course he had
no knowledge of America, and not much of
the world outside. Now he has gone over to-

from Texas tells me. | never did connect in
my mind the idea of intelligence with large

Washington, April ]


q ONE day, if events do not conspire
to change civilization too violent
ly, the city of Washington will be
splendid and amazing city. 1t is not
that now. 1t bears the same relation to
that ideal state of the future as an ado
lescent son of brilliant parents bears 20
his OWN infrequent moments of astonish-
ing mental power, flashed against
crude and commonplace background of
mere long-legged growth. Yet it is the
flash that is significant and illuminating
In time of peace, when growth and quiet
development seemed an assured thing,
and no thunder lowered on the horizon
to mar the expectation of unbroken
progress to the far point of realization,
the men who were remaking Washing
ton must have found the process a fasci-
mating task. Doubtless it is still fasci-
mating, when they have time to think of
it. For war has not stopped the pro-
gramme; it has merely relaxed the em-
phasis.
he Part Played by
l L.'Enfant
What Washington would have been
like without the persistent and scarcely
rewarded Major L'Enfant, it is hard to
say. The lay citizen, whose mental
pockets were crammed in the early years
of the present century with talks of city
planning and civic centres, always greets
the memory of the real founder of the
city of Washington with surprise. It IS
the habit of posterity to misunderstood
and underrate the immediate past 1t is
SO much easier to believe in the beauties
of those cities of the past that are too
Tar removed in the dim vistas Of time as
to make their testimony audible than it
is in the beauties of a time close enough
to be realizable. Yet it is true that what
beauty Washington can show today
and its hopes for tomorrow are due to
the engineering genius of L'Enfant.
Without him the open spaces of Wash
ington, the multiplied circles, the un-
conventional radiating streets, the de-
Eghtfully confusing diagonals, might
have remained unborn in the land of
might-have-been. Lacking an engineer
to give form to the dreams of Washing
ton and of Jefferson, the capital city Of
the United States might easily have be-
come only another mass of squares to
add to the undistingushed bodies of
most American cities. 1t was something
of tribute to the memory of L'Enfant
that the famous commission. composed
of such men as St. Gaudens, Burnham,
McKim and Frederick Law Olmsteal,

"The real Russians, who are in the ma

what democracy really means to them They
have an idealistic and sentimental streak,
but when given opportunity they become
good thinkers, the best of mechanicians,

And he thus concludes mis- essay.
Eve people of America have wonderful

essentially democratic in government and
