Which daily is the same.
The answers clear, you must agree.

Where is the great financial man
Who lends support to art?
Where are the muses. nine whose plan
Is to refine the heart?
Where is the statesman who his hat
Into the ring would throw?
You'll find them in attendance at

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

Invincible bachelor that he was,
Senator Frank b. Brandegee had
only two life loves-the Republican
party and Yale. A speech he made
at the university in 1905, just 20 years
after he was graduated with the class
OF 1885. is still famous in New Haven.
The occasion was an 'S5 reunion.
Brandegee had recently been elected
to his first term in the United States
Senate, and was the hero OF the occa-
sion. Theodore Roosevelt's slogan
about tainted money" was on the
verge Of entering the national vo-
cabulary in connection with the mil
lions which John D. Rockefeller was
scattering among the universities OF
the land Brandegee made it the
theme Of his reunion speech. He
declarations: Bring on your tainted
money The Yale spirit will purify
it,"
Walter Johnson, worlds champion
pitcher, may next be heard OF as a
Nevada Republican politician in addi-
tion to being a coast base ball team
owner. A long time Winter resident
Of Reno, Johnson is married to the
daughter of former Representative f.
e. Roberts, and would invade the
domain of statesmanship under the
tutelage Of his father-in- law, who Is
mayor Of Reno and Republican boss
Of Nevada. The sagebrush press vies
with the newspapers of washington
in clarifying Johnson, except that
Reno insists it is Walters one and
only "home town. Nevada editorials
indicate that he can have anything
in the State from a United States
senatorship downwards.
Washington rejoices in its newest
statue, that of Methodist Bishop
Francis Asbury, who rode the cir
cults in Pennsylvania before the Dec
laration of Independence. The Capital
cherisheS the work of the English
sculptor, Augustus Lukeman, chiefly
because he has evolved the only
equestrian bronze here extant that
looks like a horse. The ones upon
which national legendary heroes like
jackson, Sheridan, Sherman, Scott and
Thomas are mounted are fdealized
almost beyond recognition. No horses
in war or peace ever pranced or posed
like Washington's statues of them.
Asbury sits astride riding horse
such as "Bilp' Borah might gallop

FILA, TO AMEND MERCHANT &A- MARINE ACT OF 1920

A bill to amend the Merchant Ma riue Act of 1920, by removing the dlscrim mary clause against Alaska; one to provide for the election of a Governor by the people of the terri tory, and resolutions introduced for an investigation by Congress of the Alaskan Fisheries situation. are among the most interesting matters to the people of Alaska which are to come up before the present Congress in the opinion of Attorney General John Rustgard. who has returned 10 Juneau from a two-months' trip to Washington, says the Juneau Elm pire. While his visit included an ap- pearance before the Supreme Court for the Territory, much of the time was spent in Investigating transpor- tation matters and in an effort 10 upset the fisheries reserve policy Of the Administration.
 Says Complaint Useless
 When he left for Washington, he said, it was with the idea in mind that he would file a complaint with the Federal Shipping Board alleging unjust rates charged by steamship companies on the Alaska routes. Af- ter spending some three weeks in the Boards Washington offices study ing the matter, he said he decided il was useless to make any such com plaint. Two reasons, he added, in fluenced him in his decision. One, that the Board is without authority to hold real inquiries, the second said Rustgard, is that the Board in the past has not shown an attitude that would lead to the belief that its findings would be just to the public
 In connection with the first, he de clared that the Board had no author ity to go into the steamship offices and get it's own data but is forced te accept whatever figures the compan' ies furnish. In other words, what ever conclusion the Board might reach would be based on facts or al legged facts, furnished by the trans
 portation companies, Rustgard said He said he conferred with Senator Wesley L. Jones, of the State O. Washington, relative to the intro
 duction of bill to repeal Section 2i Of the Merchant Marine Act bu found the latter unwilling either tC
 introduce it, or to promise his sup ! port to it, although he declared tha the senator had written letters ad hitting that it was unfair to Alas ka. Such bill will be introduced 1T Congress, in the House by Delegate Sutherland and in the Senate by Sen ator King, of Utah, who, RustgarG | said is deeply interested in the Ter ritory.

WItb Delegate Sutherland. Rust gard called on the President and took up with him the Alaska fisher ies situation. He said he told the President that it was his opinion, and that of other lawyers with whom he had conferred. that the reserves were illegally created. He said he also informed the President he was unable to take the question up in the courts as bill authorizing such step passed by the 1923 Legislature had been vetoed. He and the Dele gate, he said. were advised to take it up as private citizens. The suit instituted by Delegate Sutherland against Secretary Hoover. he said. is the outcome of the audience with the President.

 II had an opportunity of meeting the Delegate from the Philippines. while in Washington and in talking to him learned that the Delegates from Alaska, Porto Rico.

"The bills, so far as he knew, had not ha 1,a lnf h. mgton."
 He said he had expected 10 file mplaint before the Interstate Com merce Commission on the rates charged by the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad. but chang ed his mind when he found it prom ! ised to be futile Under the profit guaranteeing clause of the Esch- Cummins law. which guarantees definite rate of interest return on I the value of the railway properties, he said no showing could hope to be made. It is this particular section, he added. over which a hard fight is expected to be waged during the ses- sion and which has led to the present ' organization fight in the Senate.
 It is also expected, according to [ Eustgard, that an effort will be made 1 to take away all of the rate-making ] and supervisory powers of the ship ! ping board and give the Interstate i Commerce Commission entire juris- diction over both rail and water borne traffic.
