was intended to smitc the enemy.
This is not exactly a ''httlc-mcn' puz-
zlc; vet in a sense it is. 1t would seem
to be perfectly obvious that as long as
the Senate retains its present rules there
can be no tyranny OF the majority IN
really important situations. W hen
Democratic senators of known wind
power announced that they would op-
pose the ship-subsidy bill as long as
their breath would hold out the Re-
publicans ought to have realized that
the administration pct. project was
done for. But there were some little
men in the Senate and doubtless they
will spend much OF their time between
now and next December irving to solve
the puzzle OF getting rid OF the Senate
rules which make poSSiblc-and sue
cessful-such a filibuSter as the Demo
Gratis and their "ProgreSsivc" allies con-
Quoted as a means OF defeating the ship
subsidy bill.
Years ago the Democrats suggested
that in body that pretended to be eX-
tremcly digniiied it might serve the
eternal fitness OF things to change the
rules so as to limit debate. But the
Republicans wanted to keep their dig
nifty and their parliamentary advantage,
too. Now they have lost bOth:0
The first filibuster of large proper
tons since the one that made Senator
LafOllette iamous-or nOtorouS-was
conducted several months ago by Demo-
Gratis and Republican insurgents in OPP
position to the Dyer anti-lynChing bill
At that time TIE LIGHT remarked that
if it was at all possible to justify sena-
torial iilibu,tcrS such justification would
be afforded by the consideration that
the proponents OF the Dyer measure
were blasting at the spirit of the con-
Stitution. 1t observed. moreover. that
the iilibuStcr as parliamentary weapon
was probably not so dangerous to demo-
cratic government as some people
seemed to think. because there was lit
tie likelihood that the minority members
could summon the fortitude to fight a
measure so doggedlv unless they were
upheld by the conviction that such meas
urc was an actual menace TO the Coun-
try.
The ship-suboidy bill was, in the opin-
ion OF thousands OF citizens. menace
to national welfare. They were willing
to have it "killed" with the same wea-
pom that decapitatcd the DYER bill.

What VIII Diggers Learn Of Us $500
YearSHence?NOtMuch, Says Expert
BY ALEXANDER HERMAN
NEA Service Staff Writer.

Thirty-fve hundred years from
now posterity, digging back into our
enlightened civilization of today is
going to be disappointed. For the
people of 1928 will leave sad i'm
preston on the future generations.
Archaeologists in 5423 A. D. who
start prying into our affairs, as we
are doing into those of King Tutank
hamen, who lived $500 years ago,
will judge US not by our skyscrapers,
radio, modern appliances, all signs OF
a progressive age, but
Only by what they find in our ceme-
teries.
This is the opinion of Ambrose
Lansing, acting curator of the Egyp-
tan department of The Metropolitan
Museum of Art at New York, man
who spent most of his life digging Up
the past of old Egypt.
"Our buildings, models Of ar hi
lecture, expressions of art, vii long
have passed into limbo" he says.
"Instead of the splendors of Tut
ankhamen, Mehenkwetre, or Per-
neb, We'll be rated by our Gene
teries."
Imagine it!
How we will suffer in comparison
with our ancients, whose secrets, re-
vealed by men like Lansing and How
ard Carter, who spent 3 years exca-
waiting for one Pharoah's tomb, show
that there was nothing slow about
our Egyptian ancestors.
They had breweries, where they
made real beer, without the interfer-
ence of a Volstead. They had boats,
all kinds for short spins, long tours,
or special excursions. They had
dancing girls and lot of convent
ences.
No Chickens--No Flivvers
Ducks and geese were plentiful.
But there weren't any chickens in
those days. They didn't miss them
so much, though, for there weren't
any motorists, either.
In such times as these Perneb was
born down in Memphis Egypt 1850
years ago. He was one of the big
men of his day, a politician who held
high office under the king. As soon
