Many Of the older members Of con-
gress are running against this handi-
cap: "He has had 1t long enough"
That Is a statement that gets circu-
lated over a district where a member
has been in congress eight or ten years.
1t does not affect the member who rep
resents a constituency which believes
in keeping man In service term after
term rather than changing to crafty
the ambition of some particular politi-
clan. But for the most part congress
Is made up Of men who do not serve
on an average Of more than four terms.
and such men are always beset with
the claim that the incumbent "has had
1t long enough" The average con-
gressional district contains 225,0O0 peo-
pie and In that number there are sure
to be plenty Of men anxious to come
to congress.

The day that Senator Gore started
his remarks on the veto OF the $40
wheat provision In the agricultural APP
preparation bill he was just "going
good" and due to say some very EN-
phatic things when Senator Ashurst Of
Arizona raised a point Of order and
forced an adjournment of the senate.
The next time the senate met Gore re-
sumed and remarked that when he was
interrupted he was more or less sur
charged with the subject The senate
and the country win never know what
an intellectual and rhetorical treat was
denied them on account Of that inter-
ruption." And then he also remarked:
"As / was saying when the Ashurst
rebellion broke out" From remarks
that were made by the Oklahoma SEN
ator previous to the "Ashurst rebsa.
llon," his speech upon the second at
tempt lacked great deal Of the fire
and criticism 1t would have contained

1t was Vice President Marshall who
once remarked to Republican sena-
tor after the late Senator Newlands
had made an assault upon the actions
and policies of the Democratic party,
that he tMarshall) believed that
"Newlands is the original fat boy who
spilled the beans" Probably in these
later days the vice president would
be willing to transfer his remark 10
the blind senator from Oklahoma.
Early In his speech criticlsing the
veto by the president of the $2.40
wheat proposition Senator Gore re-
marked: IF the next congress goes
Republican II will be due to this veto
message"
That remark caused a deal OF crit.
cism among Senator Cores party as
socIates. Quite number of senators
and representatives Of wheat growing
districts have In their minds the pos.
sibillty that the veto may work some
harm, but none of them believes that
1t was n good idea to advertise the
fact.

Food prices in Washington rangs
from 10 to 40 per cent higher
on all articles than In other cities
of the United States. In some
instances 1t is found that the chief
staples cost nearly twice as much at
the retail places in Washington as
they do In some of the middle West
ern cities. Even after making allow
ance for freight the range Of prices is
altogether abnormal and shows that
there is a concerted effort in the ma
tlonal capital to profiteer in foods. 1t
has reached a point where the COM
plants are forcing official action and
1t is altogether likely that in addi-
ton to Legislation which struck at the
rent profteer in the national capital,
there will be some kind of law
passed to save the people who are
compelled to live In Washington from
paying this tribute to those who
handle the food supply of the city.
Investigation thus far does not place
the blame upon farmers, because the
farmers In the vicinity of Washington
do not produce enough food to affect
the prices. The supply grown in the
region surrounding Washington is linz
tied and in many cases absorbed by
cities which can be easily reached by
water - Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York.

LEAGUE MEMBER WANTS
THE BLD CHINAS SAVED


The editorial comment in the Rev
ellie approving the Recommendation
to remove the old china trees and
replace them with better shade trees"
cannot be passed without notice by
some Of the members of the Civic
League.
Last fall when it was known that
the street committee contemplated
such a thing as the ruthless cutting
of the shade trees, q protest signed
by many Of the property holders,
asking only that the property holders
be consulted before his trees be cut,
was presented to NJ. J, NJ. Jones TO
put before the street committee.
Port Gibson has always been known
for a certain picturesque distinction,
and those who care to have the old dis
tinction kept deplore some of the un-
necessary sacrifice of both beauty,
distinction and comfort, in the work
of the street committee. 1t is quite
possible to have modern improve
ments without defacing the town.
The petition must be on record in
the Mayors Office and it is sincerely
hoped the street committee will refer
to it again before any order is given
to cut the trees,
The distinguished artist and art
critic, Mr.. Henry Turner Bailey dur
ing his visit here last spring, spoke
Of the beauty of our old trees, the
aided charm and distinction it gave
the place, and asked the meaning Of
the ruthless cutting he saw at that
time, arbitrary rule was the only
reply that could be given, and arbi-
trary rules is that which the world
fights today.
