The New Congress

~ When the new Congress meets to-
D day it will assemble surrounded by
'o.Rn atmosphere different from that
saNwhich for many years has encom-
\. passed its predecessors. In the press
{ of other matters the change may not
Be much remarked, but is most i'm
!, e,portant.
Beginning during the first Cleve
land Administration and since de-

eminent have tended to become less
:, - :, coordinate. The Presidency has
~ greatly increased it's power and Con-
..gress has been slowly pushed out of
=, its status of constitutional equality.
''" Congress has often been reduced to
~ choosing between subservience
!! which its soul abhorred or mere
negation which was unsatisfactory
a '1 both to itself and to the public. The
trainers of the Constitution thought
that Congress was to initiate and the
President veto, but to a large degree
~ there has been shift of functions.
For this condition no single Presi-
49, dent has been responsible. 1t has
p come as gradual growth. The pub
- lie has demanded affirmative Presi-
sss dental policies and that they be

That complex net of desire and re-
gret
That makes up human grief
Some people bear by the aid Of
prayer
And some find in love relief;
There are those who clear their woes
with tear,
And those who fight with a curse,
And poets have slain their heavy
With limpid line Of verse.
Some music will heal in the hot
ordeal
And Natures beauty more,
And women and wine are an ano-

Why, even a pipe can soothe cares

And friend, perhaps, is best
But think not the less of their

Who ease their souls with a lest.

Magic of white sunlight on green

Only whispers of blue between

A sky brings home her tired focks
From crimson halls.

Silver dust falls
But you have laughed with Love, you

All June lies sunkcn, with her skies
And her bright bars;
Arc you an angel, that your eyes

he goes this, this, pantomime you

gives him roses, and after the show he
goes to see her, and he says, Tell me
to come and she moves her hand up

this; and after he kisses her he chases

Genes in and this poor clown goes 'Ok!

act and the guy says, My name so
he paints up the son and says, Go on

WASHINGTON. May 2s.-Rep. w.
W. Chalmers Of Ohio enjoyed a glor-
ious but ephemeral reputation as a
crack shot this week when he and A
number Of other solons were guests
Of Sec'y Of the Navy DENLY on an
inspection tour Of the various bar
racks at QuandcO. V. Sec'y Denby's
mastery Of the rifle was equally sur
prising, but, as in the case OF Rep.
Chalmers, IL did not last long.
Arriving at QuanticO, after a most
delightful cruise on the presidential
yacht Mayflower. the members paid
a visit 10 the rifle range. At the
suggestion OF their marine escort
Sec'y DENLY. Rep. Chalmers and
others tried their skill at hitting the
target.
DENLY and Chalmers were side by
side as they shot and each time they
pulled the trigger a bulls eye was
registered.
Il never knew I was such a good
shot" remarked Chalmers, as his
chest expanded with pardonable
pride.
Il am doing better today than
did in the old days when 1 wore a
marine uniform" replied DENLY.
whose air plainly indicated entire sat
isfaction with himself
After the visitors had finished
shooting the regular marines took
the range and began firing. They
also proceeded 10 register bulls eyes
at every shot. Finally Chalmers and
DENLY overheard the officer in charge
shout to the boy who was recording
the shots:
cut out the registering OF bulls
eyes; the regular soldiers are firing
now"
Thereupon the regulars began to
fall down in their shots and the I'M
pleasant truth began to dawn on the
Ohio scion tAat the thing had been
framed up 50 as TO provide the dis
tinguished visitors with perfect
shooting records. Now, whenever
one of Mr.. Chalmers colleagues asks
him IL he feels equal to the task of
hitting the bulls eve he simply says
"Shucks" and walks away.
