Shifting the Spotlight.

Congress, after next Monday. will

past twelve weeks to great extent di-

domestic importance will be before the

never before has the American capital
been more conspicuous in the eyes OF

times.
Public interest will first and most

through the Washington conference
and submitted to the constitutional
ratifying body. Next. the soldiers

leaders Of both political parties in the

average citizen it is unthinkable that
the epochal achievements OF the great

ever known should be nullified. More
than that. the country will manifest
impatience and resentment if there is
undue delay in ratification.
President Harding's insistence that
the bonus bill shall carry provisions

The Archives Building.

The national archives building
meets another delay. 1t is the House
Of Representatives which throws the
switch and 'shunts this project to d
siding. In refusing to concur in a
Senate amendment carrying appro-
priation Of half a million dollars to
provide site and other preliminary
work on an archives building the
House commits a piece Of economy
which may save sum Of money and
lose vast treasure. The need for
such building has been admitted for
more than hundred years. Few men
doubt that such q building would JUS
tify its cost. The building has been
urged, and conscientiously urged, be-
cause of the danger Of loss by fire of
national records. No considerable
number Of our records are kept under
reasonably fireproof conditions. and a
vast number Of them are kept in quar-
ters which are not fire-resistant. Great
numbers are kept in fire-traps. There
ought not to be much longer delay
in putting up fireproof home for the
national records.

The Lincoln Day BANQUET.

This announcement is made in con.
nection with the Lincoln day banquet
to be given a week hence by the
League Of Republican State Clubs OF
the District:
1t Is the aim Of those in charge of
the banquet to make the affair one
Of Significance as we'll as enjoyment.
1t Is to be In the form Of an old-time
mated that it will be marked by the
largest gathering of nationally promi-
nent republicans in Washington with
in the last ten years.
A function appealing so strongly
should be made annual.
Like Washington. and in equal de.
gree, Lincoln has become a national
asset-a national inspiration. All
Americans today confess his genius,
his loving patriotism and the inestima.
BILE value of his services to the coun.
try. He was not only great Amer.
lean. but is rated now as one of the
great figures of world history.
At the same time the republicans
are well justified in conjuring as party
men with his name. He was a party
man. and his party.s leader at a time
of unexampled storm and stress in the
country's affairs. Largely through
party agencies, he saved the Union,
and thereby performed service for
which even the survivors of those who
then opposed him are grateful today.
As Jackson was a democrat, led his
party to victory, and is still a hero OF
that household, Lincoln was a repub.
lican, led his party twice to victory,
turned both victories to the noblest
account, and is still the most com.
manding figure in the republican
galaxy.
In the language of Edwin NJ

SHOOTING STARS.

No Encore.

NO ENCORE.
Oh, Mr.. Blizzard, You have left US in
dismay.
And now we're simply hopin' you have
travelled on your way.
You acted mighty "upty," as you
threw us in the drift,
And never paid attention to the pro.
test we would lift.
We got the plow and shovel, and at
last we cleared the track,
And we only ask your promise that
you aren't coming back.
Sunshine came a-smilin' through the
early winter sky.
Then the wind began to whimper and
the snow began to fly.
You weren't satisfied to add so freely
to our cares.
You took a mean advantage and you
caught US unawares.
Now, every time a frosty wind comes
shiverin' round the shack,
We say, "All 10 forgiven. if you only
won't come back!'
