 The contention now is made that tht real work of Congress is not done upon the floor of Senate and House. but In the committee rooms. The record, If course, takes no heed of committee proceedings. It is a verbatim account of hat takes place on the floor with ,an awful lot of extended remarks" thrown in.

 Fess Makes Suggestion
 Representative Tess.

 It has been charged upon the floor of the House that the newspaper men of the capital are not doing their part to enlighten the American public as to what Congress actually is do- ing-especially in committees. Even so good a democrat as Represen tative Anthony J Griffin of the Bronx and New York city has declared that the correspondents seldom touch upon the work going on in committees, the hearings of which. he says, are often illuminated by flashes of humor and by the clash of mental combat" The newspaper men he com plains. do not go Into the work that members dol mean that silent, un- obtrusive work without display-the hard, tedious work In the sanctum of the committee room-but they em- phasize the flash work or the sen sational things that happen on the floor If I were to get into a con- troversy with one of my friends here and say In a loud vote, Come out side and settle our dispute you would find that the newspaper men would make for the front rail of their gallery and tomorrow morning the papers would publish the episode on the front pages with large head lines. Such news methods cultivate contemptuous attitude toward Con- gress.
 Congress n Failure.
 T venture to say that if you were to take poll of our citizenship to-

Because the work of Congress Is rnisrepre- sented Or ignored, and that accounts iargel. in my o.}inion, for growth of the bolshevistic spirit Indeed, have heard speakers on the stump declare that even the American news papers themselves admit that the American Congress is a failure and that representative government is thing of the past
 The poor, hard-working Washing ton correspondent has had to stand many a hard knock in his day. but 10 have the entire failure of Congress laid at his door-and his door alone Is a little more than mortal flesa IS supposed to bear.

 Washington. May 27. - The hand that rocks the cradle is rocking that old boat-ths ship of state.
 Standpat statesmen up for renom- ination this summer are clutching wildly at the ship rail and with each ominous lurch they hold their breath, fearful that even the natural act of respiration might help to topple them overheard. They are suffering also from . form of seasickness that too much reviewing of the recent politi- cal events in which women have play ed prominent parts only aggravates.
 old line politicians are upset, to put it mildly. over the radical decisions made by women in the recent pri- maries.
 Perhaps that is just one thing that may have made the shade of Boise Penrose restiye. All Washington has been talking about the reported earthly visitation of the big boss He has chosen his former apartment in Wardman Park inn to haunt, and the management is in 4 dilemma as to whether to consider it an attrac- tion or a nuisance.
 At any AAL0 the oPAiit VI cH- rose is surely made uneasy by the woman troubles" of the remaining members of the old guard. No doubt he first turned over in his grave when Pinchot. with the help of the women, smashed the machine he had so mag nificently built up in Pennsylvania. After that no rest for him.
 .sMust Have Elm"
 You can't live with em and you can't live without 'em." Apparently that complaint applies equally as we'll to public life as 1t does to private life President Harding has been having his share of troubles with wo- men lately too. Feminine Washing ton has been buzzing for a week over the eleventh-hour refusal to attend the dedication of the national woman's party headquarters.
 Washington will soon De spattered with too curious femininity 1T the women who are on the verge of burst ing with curosity do not find out why the President did not attend the dedication last Sunday. Mrs. John Gordon Battle, to whom the President first gave his promise five months ago. that he would attend and tc whom he addressed a letter two hours before the ceremonies stating that 1t was 'impossible" for him to come, IS SalQ tO kHOW the real reason, DLt she won't tell. To all questions she sadly shakes her head, tears gather in her eyes. saying in half moan. T can't tell. can't tell.s Miss Maud Younger. legislative chairman hinted that she knows. but that she 2 tso m mon't tell. However. she stated that all the conjectures in the newspa4,-rs were wrong. Some of the conjec- turss deal with the opposition ot other factions of women to the woman's party blanket amendment. who may have successfully preyail- edsupon the President 10 revoke his acceptance. Other conjectures dealt with the Presidents opposition to separate parties for women Tn poli- tics. Some newspapers stated that he was afraid the amnesty children might picket him at the ceremonies, others believed he objected to the banner which Mrs. Belmont had de- cided to carry in the pageant, Haunt ing the caption "We are the die tators."

 Women Not Voting
 Mrs. Maud Wood Park of the League of Women voters would like the opinion of professional psyche o-analysist on the question of whether mems present indifference towards the first duty of citizenship. that of voting, is due to the fact that their mothers voteless condition made a profound influence upon them before they reached reasoning a.,e.
