JAZZ IN CONGRESS

This is the day Of Jazz. The music
of the day is jazz. It's the dominant
chord. And the present character of
our music is undeniable indication
of the public mood today. The jazz
is everywhere.
There are some places where we
could not expect anything else, and
one of these places is the political
field. The jazz man is to the fore
there. We have jazz candidates for
the presidency. Hiram Johnson has
been jazzing around in the public
y for years. McAdoo is another
one of the the up-to-daters. He jazzed
the railroads to a fifty million loss a
few years ago, and he thinks the peo-
pie like it, for he is out again for
their votes.
Jazz would characterize the pres
ent Congress better than any other
Germ of four words. Through The
manipulations of the "blocs" minor
ity rule prevails in Congress. Gar
rule of a few years ago in Congress
used to come up for condemnation,
but what is the difference now, ex-
cept that the single car has been in
creased to a number. The car of
old days got things done anyway,
the blocs block all activity. One
writer speaks truly when he says
hat Congress is fast losing out in

LETTING UNCLE SAM DO 1T

"a few years ago." says Colorado paper, led
era district courts in the West were engaged almost
exclusively with civil cases. mining and irrigation suits,
involving much in money and depending upon fine con-
str,lction of the law. Once or twice year a jury
would be required to try violations of the postal
statutes.
''Today by far the greater part of the courts time
given over what may be termed police cases civil
suits form a minor part of the weeks work Federal
grand uries and petit uries called without much
interission to deal with criminal violations OF the
federal laws" m
1t is much the in the East and South The
federal courts are cuttered up more and more with
liquor and drug cases and with petty criminal and civil
suits of various kinds, while really important matters
have to wait long for trial receive inadequate atten-
ton. 80
This evil has invaded the whole federal court sys-
tenn affecting even the Supreme Court, as Chlet
Justice Taft comp aimed few months ago. And the
cause is the same in every instance 1t the growing
tendency OF state and local courts to shunt their JUDI
cal RESPONSIBILITIES onto Uncle Sam.
1t is complimentary to Uncle, perhaps, but 1t is
debilitating the lesser units of government and
harmful to the whole judicial system. The country
needs more efficiency in the administration of justice
and that is to be gained by scattering the energies

So the bunny rabbit did this. And
when the turtle had been in the bun
galOw a few days he became quite
lively, crawling around the floor.
One day Uncle Wiggily came home
from having been out to seek adven-

turtle crying in the kitchen. The
turtle went out on the oilclotb to
cry as his tears could be more easily
wiped up there.
"What s the matter' Why are

just then the mu9krat lady came

her on the nose.
"Oh, dear!" exclaimed Nurse
Jane. ~ wish | had some ono to

saw the mud turtle crying and she
asked:
"Why are you so sadl"
Because ] am of no use in this

"Ha! have just thought of a

MILLIONS FOR TRAVEL

Americans are 5ile greatest travellers in the world,
but the Importance Of their foreign traYe seems TO
have been exaggerated. Last year considered
good year for foreign touring, with about 100000
people going abroad and spending perhaps $1,000
apiece on their trips. Yet the American EXPRESS Com
pany fieures that this was but small fraction OF
what American traveiers spent in their own country
M Atlantic City alone is said TO have taken IN as
much travel money as all Europe together Tourists
are believed to have spent $3000000O0 in Florida and
no less in visiting the national parks New York Cal
iorna and other centers OF attraction all got their
share.
Thus while American travellers were spending one
dollar abroad they spending four or five at home
Seeing America first has become national policy,
and after the first look the average American

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
HAPPY TURTLE

Once upon a time, after there had
been a warm thaw i'll woodland,
where Uncle Wiggily lived, the bun
nv rabbit gentleman hopped out IN
the woods to look for an adventure.
"Who knows" nc said to him
self, "pcrhaps l may find another
frozen honey bee, and ] can take IL
to my bungalow to be company
for Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy when
| am away.
So the bunny gentleman hopped
on and on, twinkling his pink nose
until all of a sudden, he heard rat
Ting banging, rumbling noise behind
him.
"What's that, l wonder'" cried
Uncle Wiggily.
The bunny turned around quickly
to look and he was very glad when
he saw Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow,
the puppy dogs. They were pulling
after them little wgaon made from
a soap box and some old baby car
riage wheels.
"Hello, Jackie and Peetie!' call
cd the bunny. ., "What have your

our mother,' said Jackie, land we
have some groceries in our wagon. .
"And we also have stone that
moves,' said Pectie.
"Nonsense! Stones don't move
unless you throw thcml' spoke un.
Wigsily. "Let me see what it is. y
He looked at the cart and saw
something large and rough and
round and black. 1t looked like
! stone but soon Uncle Wiggily saw
that it was trying to climb over
bag Of salt.
"'See it novel" barked Jackie.
'"It's magic stone.'
"Whcre did you find it'' asked
Uncle Wiggilv.

Wiggily. "When cold weather came
