ririle and compelling power with
which his audiences are familiar.
He plays the part of a young man
brought up in America-with all the
freedom of democracy instilled into
him-who suddenly finds himself
heir to the throne of a small and
obscure but very beautiful Euro
pean country. Having strong
views on the government of the
people for the people and by the
people he disdains the idea of be-
coming a despotic ruler in his own
country Fate. however, takes the
decision out of his hands by plac-
ing the girl he loves in a position
in which he alone can rescue her.

The Republican Conference.

The House republicans met last night
and took counsel together. The meet
ing is said to have been harmonious.
Another will be held next week. AS
many should be held as may be nee
essary to adjust all differences, and
effect a union on all questions that
may be presented during the session.
That differences have arisen need
not cause either surprise or discour-
agement, They inhere in the situa-
ton. Even the most experienced leg
;slators are finding some of the prob
lens quite difficult.
1t is fortunate for the majority that
these differences, since they were in
ovitable, should have appeared at SO
e;rly day in the session. The ma
5ority leaders have thus been put on
their mettle at once. and required to
AXE a very thorough and careful ex.
animation of the clay of the land"
The republicans have two things to
consider. The first is the necessities
"f the country, which are great. We
have emerged from the war in a shape
which all men of experience in public
affairs, whether as actors or observers
are viewing with concern. They are
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-07-24

not awed or dispirited. They do not
doubt the outcome. But they confess
to some puzzlement in the study of
processes about progress. All are bent
on progress, but many plans confront
them, and they must choose.
The second thing is the record for
unity and discipline made by the
democrats when they were in control
of Congress. It was once a criticism
of the democratic party that, whether
in the majority or the minority, it was
manageable. But during it's con-
troll of the past six years it obeyed
the bit on Capitol Hill with but few
capers, and put good deal of impor-
tant legislation on the books. The dis
cipline shown was surprising.
The republican party, ON the con-
trary, has often been praised for it's
discipline. Whether in the majority
or the minority in Congress, it has
uOuc DuSluCSS Will ucdtHtSS anu us
patch. 1t was that record which proved
so strong a card in last years cam
paign. Coupled with the policies pro-
claimed, it induced the voters to ac-
cept the party as the best instrument
for ipaugurating reconstruction.
Unions and discipline, therefore, are
imperative on every account Both the
party's record and the public interests
require them. The democratic party
i'll both House and Senate is under
competent and proved leadership, Mr..
Clark in the one body and Mr.. Martin
in the other-the latter temporarily
out of action-having shown their
quality in long service. Only team
work will avail the majority at this
very important time.

The More Than Welcome Sun.

Yesterday passed without rain and
today the sun is shining. The rainy
spell is broken. And st. Swithin
proves, as heretofore, bad prophet.
The traditional forty days Of rain have
never in recent times followed rain
on the 18th of July. Nobody really
expects such phenomenon. Truth is,
the moon has been to blame for this
protracted spell of wetness. Now the
moon is on the change and the clear
ance of the skies results.
But whether st. Swithin relented or
the moons change was the cause,
Washington is profoundly grateful for
the respite from rain. If it had con-
tinued for another week barely door
in the city would have closed, or a

Harmony.


This life that we are living
To song has been compared.
His best let each be giving
To lot that must be shared.
When the song becomes uproarous,
And you find you don't agree,
If you can't join in the chorus
Don't keep singing off the key.
Perhaps you feel no doubling
That you have the proper lay
But what's the good of shouting
When you're only in the way9
When we find that friends implore us
Not to spoil the general glee,
If you can't join in the chorus
Don't keep singing off the key.
Perhaps the day is coming
When your voice won't be retired,
And the tune that you are humming
Will be called for and admired.
AS the years unfold before us
Many changes there must be,
But you'll never lead the chorus
# you're singing off thelkex.
