own gait. An expression from him
ON public issues as they arise ts always
expected and always Forthcoming. In
that particular he never disappotnts.
As a speaker he IL welcome every
where, even In communities where he
has no followers. He is on all subjects
and to nearly everybody an interest
ing man.
It Is not disrespectful to any F7ori.
dian to say that with Mr.. Bryan IN
her commission Florida in the Senate
would take on increased consequence.
He is 80 eminent in national aftairs
and stands for so mitch In the ma
tional equation he would give to the
Peninsula state as one Of her repre-
sentativcs on Capitol Hill an I'M
portance she could not hope for from
any other source.
But Florida's gain would perhaps
be the country's loss. Fettered with
Office. Mr.. Bryan would chafe under
its restrictions, and be obliged to
forego much of the activity which has
been of much interest to the general
public and much profit and pleasure
to himself. To a man footloose as
Mr.. Bryan is. politics is particularly
alluring at this time.
Evening star., 1922-02-16
Congress and the People.

Congress Is under closer observation
than ever before-now so close, in
deed. it would appear impossible for
anything Of real Importance to be put
over" on Capitol Hill in a corner.
The financial interests, the indus
trial interests. and labor interests have
long been close observers of events in
- Washington. and kept track of meas.
ures introduced in House or Senate,
the progress of such measures in
committee. and Of the chances Of ulti.
mate success. This is well known; and
while the matter has now and then
been sharply criticised in one quarter
or another, the practice has never
been taboo.
The agricultural interests have come
into the picture later. But they are in
1t, rightfully in it, and are looking
out for themselves alertly. Capitol Hill
intrigues them.
All the interests mentioned have
business with Congress. and look to
that body in times Of pinch and dis.
tress for relief. They sometimes ask
for more than can be granted, and
probably bid high on a general prin-
ciple Of action.
All interests today are suffering
from pinch and distress. and looking
to Congress for relief. What relief can
be rendered. and in what way. Con-
gress must decide. And. as already
STATED. attention is SO generally fixed
ON that body, debate and action are
more than ever in the open.
Evening star., 1922-02-16
Arguing About Nothing.

Arguments that do not get any
where are not new. Since time began
people have sat around and engaged
in verbal battles concerning relatively
unimportant matters. Perhaps Adam
and Eve began It.
The latest example is the argument
going on in Pittsburgh as to whether
Stephen Foster wrote the first line Of
MY Old Kentucky Home like this:
The sun shines bright in my old Ken
lucky home" or like this: 1.-The sun
shines bright in the old Kentucky
home"
The only question Is: What differ.
ence does 1t make? Here is an ex.
ample Of q small textual difference, a
veritable molehill of difference, which
should not be made into a mountain
Of dispute. Either reading is good
and worthy Of a great song.
After all. the only thing that counts
in Stephen Fosters melodies il the
melody. The pure inventive genius in
song displayed by this man IL one
Of the grea. heritages of America.
Although his life was sad. his melodies
have immortalized him and made the
world happier.
Sing My Old Kentucky Home" with
q "the" or with "my''-it makes
no difference at all. Just sing it in
tune. sing 1t when the lights are low
and the hearts are glad. The song lie
better than the argument.

PAIRING Too Close.

One Of the economy plans would
turn back into civil life without COM
missions in the Navy the Annapolis
class after its graduation next June.
This seems to be pairing too close. 1t
seems to involve. IL not a breach Of
contract with these young men, at
least a perilous approach to a breach
Of faith. There was an understanding
between the government and these
men when they met the government
requirements for admission to the
academy that If they fulfilled certain
obligations the government would do
certain things for them. One Of the
things promised by the government
was that these men should have com.
missions in the Navy. Economies may
be effected at Annapolis. but they
should not be effected in the way sug.
gested. The government should keep
faith with the cadets. There has been
a proposition to reduce the number Of
appointments to the Naval Academy,
and that is another matter.
