The Spotlight
In Washington
By The Stroller.

~ nue. yesterday morning / no.
ticed that fve Heralds on the car
between Dupont Circle and n
street were open at the editorial
page and seven were open at the
sporting page. Why time should
be wasted on the sporting page is
beyond me. when there is such
good reading in some places on this
page. But what / started to say
was that with the world going
to the dogs and everything and
the big headlines about the coal
| and rail strikes spread over the
front page. the public seems un-
concerned. judging by what they
were reading. / noted one headline
that impressed me. 1t said AN
thracite Men to Sift Proposals" or
something like that. II they will
give us just a little anthracite to
sift everything will be Jake" as
they used to say in that mans
army.
Andy Ford postcards in and
wants to know il IL means anything
in my life to be informed that HI
ram Foot is a cobbler. No. Andy,
II means nothing in my life what
ever. i had jumped at the conclu-
sion that no more Americans were
repairing shoes but that the trade
had been cornered by swarthy gen
tlemen with four parts to their
names and ali hailing from Italy.
I hate to start things in this
| column, but Service Always is my
motto and / have an inquiry as to
| the origin of barnyard golf, other
wise known as pitching horseshoes.
/ The new champions name escapes
/ me, but perhaps W. G. Harding or
! George Christian, late of Marion,
/ the one in Ohio. can come to the
aid OF The Stroller and thus help
me put over a scoop" on the Friend
OF the People.
The Order OF the Something or
/ Other. do not know just what as
yet. should be pasted on the lapel
of the coat of Senator Shields, who
bursts forth as follows in the Cong.
Rec:
Il have no sympathy with prohteers. They
/ are like the men who follow up an army
after a battle and rob the dead. The prof
I iteers who are taking advantage Of condi-
tions to extort money from the people for
necessity are entitled to no sympsthy:
but, still. believe in keeping within the
Constitution. / do not believe that any
: so-called emergency or any real emergency
/ justines us in overturning the Constitution
We went too far during the war in doing
that in our enthusiasm. in our patriotism
J and our desire to support the administra-
| tion and win the war. Both sides Of the
Chamber did IL. There was no difference in
| this in the Republican party or the Dem
ocratic party. We were all Americans. and
we supported the most extreme measures to
| prosecute the war successfully; but there Is
| no Senator. no lawyer. who will stand here
and deny that some Of the laws then passed
are no precedent to follow in times Of
| peace"
| The Senator was going great in
the first two lines or three. I
thought for a minute he was going
to make Andy Gump, that sterling
candidate for Congress on the back
page, quit cold. But then he shuf-
fed off his game and / read the old
f1ub dub: when the profteers can
hear that kind OF talk in the U. s.
Senate they have little to fear"
says the Sage OF Jackson Place. By
the way-when does the parade to
the jail behind the first pronteer
start?
Who remembers when the plat
form in big type said the war prof
iteers should be prosecuted? Note
the world should" is not would.
Again I take heart when / see
a little shrimp like Johnston step
out and keep the Davis tennis cup
in the little old u s. A. with his
good right wrist" says Cupid"
Daniels. OF Auto Row. the one on
Fourteenth street.
I deem IL my duty to warn West
Virginia that Franklin Adams of
the Pan American Union will HE
himself there very soon and spend
a month In making the fish behave.
Those who think Andy Gump
should not go to Congress. please
register at the window TO the left.
Andy is the worlds leading fun
maker. but when II comes To Con-
gress / am for organizing a RID Us
OF Gump Club. so please register.
No dues.
