! WASHINGTON, June 15.-Per-
/ sons who criticise congress for not
/ being able to put through remedial
: legislation err. The soIons passed
three very important measures the
last month. One measure the coun-
try couldn't have got along without
was to authorize the director of the
mint to have made an appropriate
design for 50-cent pieces in honor of
Maine; another for a memorial on
quarters for Alabama; the third was
authorized a fitting design for So
cent pieces symbolizing the landing
of the Pilgrims.
Such things as regulation of the
packers, repeal of certain obnoxious
war measures, steps to lower living
costs, soldiers aid, hospitals for L
berculosis, mothers and children'a
welfare, merchant marine and the
like are still hanging fire, but they
don't matter.
The 11O,OOO,OOO Ameticans, more
or less, will be delighted to the depths
Of their souls to know that there
may soon be two-cent piece in cir
culation. The bill authorizing it has
already passed the senate. 1t will be
the Roosevelt Two-Cent Piece" But
it will have to shorten it's name to
"a Teddy" Newsboys will yell,
evening paper, one Teddy"
Mitchell Palmer, attorney general,
is a direct descendant of an alien,
who was at one time jailed in Eng
land as a dangerous radical"-that
is, he claims to be. He recently stat
ed at the National Press Club that
he was descended from William
Penn, who was Jailed in the tower
in London, and saved from perhaps
a worse fate by the wealth of his
family. This is not intended as an
aspersion against Palmer nor Penn,
but it is to remind the attorney gen
eral that we are all aliens or descend
ed from persons born overseas, that
men have never been in the habit of
thinking alike, and that it was this
that caused the far-seeing fathers
to invent what is known as ''free
speech"
