The Washington times., 1922-07-07

Why don't the members of our
American Congress adopt the
French custom Of kissing each
other tohen they pull off a par
ticularly fine stunt?
Our sentimentdiities are stirred
over the incident in the French
chamber of deputies Wken NJ.
VIVIAM made such a pointed
reply to a socialistic attack on
Frances entrance in the Dorld
War that NJ. POINCARE rushed
up to him and kissed him on
BOTH CHEEKS. Others rushed
from their seats and embraced
and kissed the French premier in
gushing manner.
We submit that the American
Congress should quickly acquire
this kissing habit. There. may
be ttoo or three toomen Senator's
in the ne1t Congress and half
dozen lady Congressmen. II the.
kissing custom is adopted right
noV there can be no objection to
embracing and kissing a lady
Senator When she makes a hit. :
There are other forceful red-
sons. We don't believe that SEN
ator LODGE has euer been
kissed on the floor of the Senate.
His pristine Uhiskers do not yet
kno1U the touch of an enthusias-
tic kiss. The Senator Who kisses
him on both cheeks is going to
get a real mouthfuL What could
be sVeeter?
II may be that modesty alone
has prevented American states
men from shoWing their dffec-
tion for each other a Ia French
styles. Yet, come to think of 1t,
the legislative kiss would relieve
many a pent-up statesman.
Take the case of TON WAT.
SON, for example. II Tom now
gets all "het up" in debate he
calls somebody names and makes
ugly charges. If he toere per-
mitted to rush over and kiss Sem
ator Lodge on both cheeks he
would quickly s,bside, and a
love feast ,0ould folloto.
Take a dyed-in-the-wool old
line regular like Senator MOSES
and progressive like Senator
IA TOILETTE. When they
clash in debate over party poll
cies whp shouldn't Moses be al
lotoed to plant glo,oing kisses
upon the sunny cheeks Of the
Wisconsin statesman?
HEFLIN, of Alabama, is
,oarn hearted but fiery, and
PAT HARRISON, Of Missis-
sippi, has strong affections. Give
'em a chance to kiss freely and
many a congressional storm
would be preVented; many line
of type saved in the Record.
And great guns, think of
BLANTON, of Te1ds! II Con-
gressmen had been allotOed to
kiss him freely in the heat Of de-
bate, his scorpion heart Would
long ago haze melted.
