~ of those gentlemen that can

interesting to watch the expression

Of the program the orchestra played
one OF the old-time but beautiful
waltzes and even the dancers seemed
to change in appearance and action.
The old gentleman made but a single
comment. but 1t covered the case
most fully. He said: THAT style of
dancing is dancing; 1t is grace, 1t is
charming-it reminds one Of the old

The Sixty-Eighth House.

Speculation about the organization
of the next House in case Of demo-
cratic control plays around Mr.. Hull
Of Tennessee for Speaker and Mr..
Garrett Of the same state for floor
leader. 1t is assumed that both will
be elected to that body. Both have
been nominated. Two years ago Mr..
Hull was defeated. but Mr.. Garrett
withstood the republican cyclone. =
In such circumstances how will the
republicans make their dispositions?
Will Mr.. Gillett become their floor
leader? Champ Clark upon retiring
from the speakership led the minority
on the floor. Mr.. Gillett is a veteran
legislator and a skilled parliamen-
tartan.
Mr.. Mondell will not be in the way.
He is trying for transfer to the SEN
ate.
MIR. Fordney is retiring from con.
gressional life after a quarter century
OF its storm and stress. and SO he will
NOT be In the way.
Mr.. Cannon is retiring after longer
period of service. which includes four
terms In the speakership and several
as chairman Of the appropriations
committee.
II Mr.. Gillett leads the minority.
therefore, he will have to choose his
principal advisers from a new list.
The old order is changing, giving place
to new.
Well. as the times are new, and
many new questions are arising. new
republican order would seem to suit
the occasion. The republicans, wheth-
er in the majority or the minority,
must keep up with the times.

Accepting the "Temps" attack IN
seric-comedy vein, Professor John Mus

if Columbus hadn't discovered America
the continent would have been discov-
cred by Cabrai in 1900 anyway, SO why
pick on poor Columbus?
"Any evils inflicted on Europe by
such discovery can be blamed not
on America, which played only pas

Republican women leaders had lfttle
to say yesterday regarding the resigna-

long time resented the appointment OF

campaign committee, and that il seemed
the part of wisdom to disband the
committee.
Miss Helen Varick Boswell, chairman
Of the women's division of the Repub-
lican County Committee, had this to
say last night:
Il have nothing to say about Mrs.
Parsons's resignation. I was not con-
suited about her appointment, nor
about her resignation. / had no idea
