Again, he recalled the history Of
Faneuil Hall, the cradle of liberty.
He said: 1.-The money for Faneuil
Hall was offered to the people of Bos-
ton by Peter Faneuil for the purpose
of market house. BY the narrowest
of margins-only seven notes.-the
people accepted the gift. and that
was accomplished only by a subter-
fuge. They created a property quail
fication, SO as to shut out a large
number of the voters, and thus they
jammed through the acceptance of
the money to build the market house.
What was the contest about?
"Why, for more than 100 years the
people Of Boston had been wrangling
over this very question Of profiteer-
ing. They thought that the market
there was an opportunity for the mid
dleman to profiteer."
Then Representative Luce drifted
into the ancient history Of the great
original profiteer and aroused much
mirth in the House when he said:
"If a law sucn in spirit as this had
been on the tablets in the time Of
which Genesis speaks, you never
woud have had the story of Joseph,
and, inasmuch as the story has been
of instruction to many generations
and to many millions of mankind,

recommended by the committee on
agriculture was not passed by the

Story of King Canute.

There is something to be learned
from the old story of King Canute."
Representative Luce pointed out to
his colleagues. You remember how
he brought his throne down to the
edge of the incoming tide, and he
bade the wives to stop; but the waves
kept coming on and coming on, and
Canute said Stopr after the fashion
of the gentleman who called US to-
gether and kept US from our vacation
in order that the cost of living might
be reduced. Laughter.) He. too.
said Stop to the great tides that
are rising. He, too, put his throne at
the edge of the waves, and when they
began to lap his feet he not only had
his throne moved back, but he got
out of it and ran away to the farthest
side of the continent" Uaughter.)

Sergeant Joseph G. Rodgers
of Pennsylvania has just done an un-
precedented thing in appointing to
the post of cashier and head of the
financial department of the national
House of Representatives a demo-
cratic "hold-over." This is one of the
best jobs on the patronage roll of the
House. The appointment has been
made in the interest of efficiency and
in appreciation of the very satisfac-
tory way in which the duties of this
Office have been performed by Ken
meth Romney of Montana.
There is always a big scramble for
this job. When Alexander r. Gordon
of Ohio, who was sergeant-at-arms
under the democratic House, first ap-
pointed Romney to the place he near
ly broke the hearts of score of other
aspirantS. Some days the cashier han
dies 100000. He makes up the pay
roll of the House and handles $1O,-
100000 year. When the democrats
lost control of the House and the re-
publican regime came in, Romney was
retained in one of the six minority
jobs He lacked one vote of being the
highest man among twenty candl-
dates, and he succeeded to the posi-
ton held under the republican
minority by William Tyler Page, who
is now clerk of the House. He re-
signed from that post yesterday and
He is a graduate of the University OF
Washington at Seattle, and most OF
his newspaper work was done on the

vote, said in part: IF the suffrage
would be laid into the hands of the
native born American women only,
the results. which surely will follow,
can easily be predicted. Narrow
mindedness viii triumph everywhere;
fanaticism will flourish; prohibition
lists and their refuse, the Anti-Saloon
League, win easily set up for dictators
in the State of Michigan"
When a suffrage campaign was in
progress in Nebraska in 1914, the
German American Alliance, through
its local branch at Columbus, issued a
letter to its membership urging them
to vote and stand by friends of Ger
man speech and German descent" in
the coming election, thereby demon
strating the political power" of the
German Alliance in the United States.
The letter said in part: "Our State
Alliance took a most decided stand
against woman suffrage at its annual
convention held at Columbus on Au-
gust 25th last Our German women
do not want the right to vote, and
since our opponents desire the right
of suffrage mainly for the purpose of
saddling the yoke of prohibition on
our necks, we shall oppose it with all
our might"
A portion of the declaration of pur-
pose and principles as revealed by the
German-American Alliance in 1918 in
a hearing before the Committee on
the Judiciary of the United States
Senate holds the following paragraph:
I'm hundred years the American
people win be conquered by the vic
torious German spirit so that it will
present an enormous German Empire.
Whoever does not believe this lacks
confidence in the strength of the Ger
man spirit"
This is one of the agencies that
has spent hundreds of dollars to de
feat the American-born women in
their struggle for political freedom
