Bryce Editorial Reminiscent,
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
While reading your tribute on
the editorial page OF today's Herald
to the passing Of Niscount Bryce,
Couched in the form of an excerpt
from the Baltimore sun, certain
verse of Stupford 4. Brooke flashed
to mind. as peculiarly illustrative
of the Suns estimate of Mr.. Bryce's
intellectual and moral impact upon
his period.
The sun writes: He blossomed
early. after the manner of genius
and continued to bloom late. There
was no winter of discomfort or bar
renness with him. He died young
in mind and sympathy after more
than four-scorc years Of contact
with a world which refused to go
straight during his time. but In
which he never lost faith"
And Professor Brooke writes:
80 ample is the earth we tread.
So quick with love and life
her frame,
Ten thousand years have dawn
cd and fed
And still her magic is the
same.
\ little love. a little trust.
4 soft impulse. a sudden
dream.
And life as dry as desert dust
Is freshcr than a mountain
stream.
So simple is tho heart Of man.
So ready for new hope and
JOY.
Ten thousand years since il be-
GIN
Have left il younger than
boy.
This verse was written in his old
age. yet il has joyousness, almost
sprinEtime in quality. Is IL not
akin in vision to the abundant op-
timism of his illustrious contem-
porary. Lord Bryce. as We freside
readers are privileged to share that
vision through his books

Sentiment Misinterpreted.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
There was an item in the press
several days ago in which some
actor was alleged to have said that
jokesmiths, comedians and raude-
Vile performers in general made
free use of prohibition. against
which to crack their ofttimes stale
and inane sayings mot in the least
funny). They say that their audi
ences hilariously applaud any state
ment with reference to the ways by
which the prohibition laws are
evaded, and those who have at
tended some of the performances
in which these supposedly funny
sketches are pulled will know that
it is all too true. However. be-
cause the audience generally ap-
plauds. il is a very mistaken idea
to think that they do so for other
reasons altogether than those ere
ated in the' particular situations
which the audience is thinking Of
at the time. Because of the liberal
applause II is rsther risky for the
actors to pin th,ir hopes on the
return of the open saloon and the
sots where were sure product.
The days of open saloons and the
sots who filled their tills were pro-
ductive of much misery and woe
in fact, that was their product.

that he had In mind those Senators

made a speech in New York City.
In that speech he criticised the
farm bloc made light of their ef-
forts. and pleaded for 4 united ef-
fort to discredit the group.
In recent speech Senator Moses
OF New Hampshire. said that the
legislation proposed by the farm
bloc was of a ruthless and selfish
nature and that all that these Sem
ators from the West and South
know is hogs, corn, wheat and
cotton
II want to say that these Sena-
worked and co-operated without
regard to politics or sections. The
legislation they have proposed is
not selfish nor is 1t ruthless. These
Senators have a right to be heard
in Congress. And / ask II the ag-
riculturaf interests of this nation
are not great and important enough
to have a voice in this chamber?
Let us not forget that there is
invested In the farms of the
United States more than $66,O00,-
100000 and that, despite the re-
gretable decrease in our farm pop
ulation, that population probably
still represents one-half of all the
people of this country. Is not this
great element in our population de-
serving Of the sympathy of the
President and all good Americans? :?
And those who have studied the
facts know that the agricultural
industry has not received the con-
sideration it deserves and is en-
titled to.
why is this opposition to the
farm bloc? I will tell you. The
tax bill that was passed was
amended as result Of the efforts
Of Senators on the Democratic side
and certain Senators on the other
side of the aisle, and the group
of Senators who put these amend
ments through included the men,
Abers Of the agricultural bloc and
when they amended the bill the ire
of the President and other men
who control the destinies of the
Republican party was aroused.
That Is the sole reason why they
desire to destroy the agricultural
group.
- why do they not inveigh
against the tariff bloc. the manu-
facturers' bloc and other blocs?
Take the manufacturers bloc, for
instance. 1t works SO smooth that
II makes no noise. But'th agri-
cultural group makes noisn and the
President comes here and inveighs
against it.

Joy In Federation


The club women of Imperial county
will be interested in the following story
sent out bv Mrs. Finlav Cook, state
chairman of press.
just pride may be felt by the Gen
cral Federation of Women S Clubs at
the splendid and loval work done by it's
members in securing proper hcadquar-
ters for the carrying on of its great
work. And that this has been accom-
rlished in a comparatively short time
since the energies of the women were
aroused. speaks well for the power OF
women.

Il vastly bigger general than himself,
