Holiday.
We've had a Happy New Year Day
A grand success it proved.
The Birthday Of Immortal George
Much oratory moved.
ST. Patrick's Day was noble
With the elegant parade
But holiday is coming
That's the finest ever made.
Some morning I'll go roaming

Where there1l be no resolutions
And no speeches of renown.
There will be no marching music
With the banners on display.
Some day I'll go a-fishing-
That's a real holiday.

On the second Warren rejection the

that, in a pinch, there are only As,

of all, he has the sincerity and fervor
which are the foundations of real
eloquence, and without which speech

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Out of the stress and turmoil of
the Warren affair one thing energies
crystal clear. That is. that the Cool
idge majority in the Senate has be-
come as illusory as mirage. 1t
has, in fact, no existence except on
the paper on which the Congressional
Directory is printed. That infallibIe
volume lines up the Sixty-ninth Sen
ate a follows.

The Senate approached adjourn
ment in the spirit of considerable
bitterness engendered by the Warren
affair. The Democrats are especially
embittered over the charges pressed
against them by the Republicans in
the Senate, and assertions in the pub
lie press, that they voted on the War
rem nomination solely in a partisan
spirit. Circumstantial evidence, it is
claimed, tends to uphold the charge.
In the first place, Senator Overman,
a member of the judiciary committee
Democrat, voted for Mr.. Warren in
committee. Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, who was one of the chief op-
ponents of Mr.. Warren's confirmation,
admitted in debate that many mem
bers on the Democratic side of the
chamber had declared their first pur-
pose to vote in favor of Mr.. Warren.
He explained this by saying that they
