King Tut lived three thousand
years ago.
He has been dead long time,
long enough for the present genera
ton to become morbidly curious and
desecrate his last resting place in the
name of archaeology. They want
his ancient body.
Some day you win die, and your
remains will be laid away, and
perhaps three thousand years hence
our more enlightened descendants
will be digging up your bones or
ashes and wondering how many sins
you possessed.
1t doesn't bother King Tut now,
and it won't worry you then, but it
does seem that common decency
ought to prompt us to let our human
dead rest in peace.

MAGNUS JOHNSON has dis
covered that the "home folks" in the
National Capital are not much
different than those back in
Kimball, Minnesota "By golly,"
Magnus is quoted as saying in a
speech at a meeting of the Takoma
Park ID c. Citizens Association,
81 got good neighbors at home, and
/ guess I'm going to have good
neighbors. here" Takoma Park is
a suburb of Washington. Not only
did Magnus join the citizens as
ISOLATION like anyone else, but he
announced he would help the
District residents to get the ballot
like their countrymen in the states.
CONGRESS STARTS out with a
legislative jam. There have been
so many bills introduced that the
clerks are way behind in getting
them properly recorded. Some
Senators and Representatives are
tossing them into the legislative
hopper a score or more at a crack
Both houses are slowed up by delays
in getting committees, etc, organic
ed, due to objections raised by the
LaFollette progressives, and it will
be some weeks before any construc-
tive legislation can be acted upon.
At the urgent behest of President
Coolidge, Administration leaders are
trying to get the tax reduction on
the program ahead of anything else
and to keep it there until the
Mellon plan, or part of it at least is
put through.
A CONFIDENTIAL SPEECH de-
livered by the President before an
exclusive club of newspaper cor
respondents contained the first
intimation that the Administration
had actually approved unofficial
American participation in a new
inquiry to test the ability of
Germany to make reparations pay
ments in accordance with French
demands. The official announce
ment was not to have been made for
some weeks yet, pending the work
ing out Of concrete details, and
although Mr.. Coolidge's remarks
before the correspondents were
supposed to have been made in the
greatest secrecy, they leaked out
here and there. To avoid misunder-
standings, either in the United States
or in the capitals of Europe, the
White House told the story and the
American people got the news.
COOLIDGE'S remarks on Russia
in his annual message are interpret
ed in some quarters as an actual
invitation to the Soviet leaders to
line things up so that recognition can
be extended by the United States.
One of the chief causes of the pre-
sent refusal of this Government to
recognize Russia is that the Moscow
Soviet will not aggree to pay the
seven hundred or so million dollars
that were borrowed from the United
States since the fall of the Gear.
The President wants to clear up the
Russian situation, but he wants the
Soviet officials to recognize the
rights of private property and to
admit their just obligations, financi-
al and otherwise.

The present congress will make
history. 1t will also dig some
political graves.
There is much constructive work
to be done. and the opportunity is at
hand to do that work.
But the session has begun amidst
jealousy and pickering. and the out
look is not bright Each group is
attempting to supplant the other
groups and grab off the plums.
That isn't the purpose for which
we elected them, but it is the result
we must expect and which we must
accept-unnl the political graves
are filled
Since we can never agree upon
any subject ourselves we can hardly
expect congress to improve upon the
example we set before it.
That's the situation in a nutshell.
Watch il grow, and lets hope that it
doesn't explode.
