Politics Defined by Bryan.

When the newspapers announced
recently that WILLIAM JENNINGS
BRYAN had galloped back into the
political arena and poised his lance
let to enter the battle of the ballots
in 1920. my old newspaper associate.
CHARLIE COLE. recalled Hryan's
definition of politics as given by him
in an after-dinner talk in this city
more than twenty years ago.
Politics." he said. consists, first.
of n fight for office between two
parties. This is called an election.
1T then resolves itself into a
fight between two factions of the
successful party for the same offices.
This is termed Administration.
Their there is another thing call
ed Reform. This consists of a de-
tective and one or more Cabinet Of
ficers trying to prove that every
body outside their own party is cor
rupt. Offices are at the bottom of
It all. The country was created

Folks and Things
Around Washington
Labert St. Clair.

When New Year Day came rolling
around the Prince of Wales sent Bill
Nye, Of the State Department. a card
wishing him a happy New Year. and
the papers made much Of 1t. Bill had
charge Of the Princes party in this
country and the Prince liked him a
great deal. The answer was that Bill
runs his job with an iron hand. re-
gardless.
During the war. Bill was assigned TO
the job OF rounding up German spies
and giving them free board and room
in various internment camps. And
he certainly did a great job OF it. Then,
when the King of the Belgians and
the Prince started over here, Bill drew
the assignment of seeing that no one
threw a bomb. or anything except
flowers or kisses. at their royal high
nesses.
Right of Bills troubles began. On
a certain day in Philadelphia, for In
stance, one of the wealthiest men in
the whole country came trotting down
to the train determined to see the
King Of the Belgians. Bill was standing
on the back platform when the mil
lionaire came up and started to rush
right in and shake hands with the
King. But Bill did not think the King
wanted to be disturbed. so he told the
visitor that he could not see him.
Whereupon the wealthy man began
with. Sir. you don't know who l am,
etc." and Bill. like a regular sleuth.
responded, quite correct, and 1 don't
particularly care who you are, etc"
One word bringing on another, as one
word will in such a circumstance, the
millionaire told Bill that he was presi-
dent, or owner. or something. OF the
very road on which the Kings train
was standing and that IL he did not
get into the Kings car, there would
be much trouble. However, Bill only
smiled and politely told the visitor to
go peddle his papers. He peddled.
1t was the same story when the
Prince was here. When time came for
the procession to move. it moved, the
wishes of the various citizens associa-
tons to the contrary Notwithstanding.
A lot of folks kicked about Bills
high-handed manner. but he finished
the job in good shape. which was what
the State Department wanted him
to do.
All over the country there are folks
who aver that they have heard bar
Der shop chords" but unless they have
visited the barber shop of the House
side OF the Capitol they never have
heard the Simon pure article.

SIaughterhousc for Horses.

The story recently published in The
Washington Herald telling OF a
slaughterhouse for discarded horses
and mules in East Washington, has
attracted the attention of owners of
pet cats and dogs here. l have receiv-
ed a letter from Mrs. EMILY d.
MILLER, who says in part:
AT the prevailing high cost of beef,
mutton and other kinds of meat, the
article in The Herald came as a ray
of sunshine to the many owners of
canine and feline pets in the District.
These animals must have meat for
feed. They are carnivorous. After
reading the interesting account of the
slaughterhouse for played-out horses
over by Twining City. this thought
came to me: Why not have an es-
tablishment, either in one of the big
markets or in n storeroom centrally
located. <where the owners of such
pets can purchase horse or mule meat.
Let the meats be plainly labeled. and
stamped. too, If necessary Horse
Meat or Mule Meat so customers
will know what they are getting
There are enough people in the Dis
trict with priced cats and dogs to
make such horseflesh market a
financial success. Let some enter
prising fellow start something. l will
