 Senator Samuel D. Nicholson of Col orado, who used to work as an under ground miner, has arrived in Washing ton and with him has brought the repu- tation of being the best dressed man on the Pacific coast.
 And with his coming there has arisen in the breast of Senator Thomas Heflin of Alabama, who tells more and better darlly stories than anybody else in Con- gress, mighty well of Jealousy. Sen ator Heflin aspires to be the sartorial idol of the upper house, now that Jim Ham Lewis has retired, and this novice from the west is morning in
 ''So the gentleman from Alabama has sought to forestall his rival and has designed and had made a coat which is unlike any coat on Capitol hill, and which will lend it's wearer distinction at least until tailors have had time to copy it.
 The Heflin coat is ample of skirt, but can be classified neither as a cutaway nor frock. A single button at the lapels restraints it when rude winds would convert it into flag. The tailoring is such that it drapes grace fully over the statesman's equator. then falls away in a line that is midway be- tween Greenwich and the lS0th meri- dian-say along about St. Louis.

responsibilities imposed upon it by the terms of that treaty
 Again it is the understanding of the world, as result of the pronouncement of the President, that the United States will be represented at all the councils of European nations studying and de- termining the subject of reparation, but will not assume any of the responsi- blities attendant upon such councilsr-- neither in the way of paying the ex- penses of such councils nor in enforc- ing the order of such councils.
 MEANING OF ELECTION
 There is no general agreement even among republicans as to the meaning of the election result last November. In the United States Senate there is no agreement even among republican sem dtors. There are three views;
 (1) That the people expressed their renunciation of the proposed League of Nations; (2) that the people ex- pressed their remuneration of the League of Nations as proposed by Woodrow Wilson, and their favor of the league as the republican membership of the Senate would have amended it.; (S) that the people declared themselves to be in favor of no involvement with European nations, but in favor of se- curing reparation and repayment of loans. with full interest, Without any attendant obligation on the part of the United States. The present policy of the United States is not understood by the repub licans in Che Senate. Some of them fear that Harding is getting This feet wet and that the willy diplomats of France and England will soon have him so committed that he will never be able to disentangle himself Democrats, as a rule, fear that he is putting the United States in an attitude of at tempting to get money out of Europe through course of palliation, and with reconciliation to leave Europe to it's fate once he has got the money. Others, still, think that Mir. Harding is feeling his way gradually toward an entrance into perfected League of Nations, and proceeding so gently that it will not be possible to offend powerful senators embittered against the league.
 FIRM WITH ALLIES
 Whatever his purpose might be, it is evident that Mir, Harding has taken po- ston with the allies and against Ger many. His representatives sit With the allies. The Knox resolution, declaring the existence of a state of peace be- tween the United States and Germany, is suspended in the House-no doubt, in response to the insistence of the al- lies. Furthermore. the President has permitted Germany to know that all his sympathies are with the allies, and that he is tired of Germany's wiggling and webbing In an effort to escape the paying of it's just obligations.
 As result of his policy. the allies will
