which, if such labor could follow it

A Customer Who Wasn't
Wanted

w dHSCU
Almost invariably, when men fall to
discussing examples of business sa-
gacity, some one present is reminded
of the illustrative incident of the white
tramp and the colored saloonkeeper.
For the benefit of those who have not
heard the story-if any such there be
lit is here and now set forth:
The colored man sat behind his bar
in moment when trade was slack.
Through the swinging doors entered
the ragged Caucasian.
'Give me good ive-cent cigar" he
ordered.
The proprietor produced a box con-
tanning a number of malignant looking
dark-brown rolls. The patron made
discriminating choice and then in the
act of putting the cigar between his
lips checked himself as though struck
with new idea.
"Say, I've changed my mind" he
said. Believe I'll take a glass of
beer instead"
The negro returned the cigar to its
lux anu uroW grass Oi Deer. Lie
customer drank it, wiped his mouth
on the back of his hand and started to
withdraw.
"Yere, hole on. wife man." said the
negro. ''you forgot to pay fur dat
beer"
"Why, give you cigar for it,
eyes, but you amt paid fur de
cigar, neither"
But you've still got the cigar, amt
you? What's the matter with you,
anyhow"
The colored man scratched his head.
'Lemme see, boss" he said, "ef
gifts dis thing straight: You don't owe
me for de beer, cause you give me de
cigar fur it, and you don't owe me fur
de cigar cause you handed it back to
me. Is dat right?"

white.
'Ver' well, then" agreed the colored
man, 'but say, mister, / wants to ak

A CHANCE TO SAVE

That the United States Senators
were unwilling to place themselves
on record ON their salary increase
bill was shown by the fact that no
one called for a roll-call, and the
boost was added as an amendment
or "rider" to the legislative appro-
priation bill, that has already pass
ed the House, which is expected to
concur in the amendment, and also
without record vote to show which
of the members favor the strict
economy in government admins
tration which President Coolidge is
advocating and practicing.
As the President lacks power to
single out items in an appropria-
ton bill and veto them, it is believ-
ed that he will approve the legis-
lative appropriation bill with the
salary booster, though it will mean
an addition of about Sl,S50,000 a
year for the Cabinet officers, SEN
ators and Representatives Now let
the House pass the re-apportion-
ment bill and reduce the number
of its members by about 200 and
thus save to the taxpayers Of the
nation more than 100000 year.

GENERAL DAWES WAS RIGHT

We could entertain livelier in
clination to weep over the outraged
dignity of the Senate if that august
body had given any recent indica-
ton in its actions of desire to
maintain that dignity. A Legislative
body that has fallen to new low
levels of cheap partisan attack upon
Presidential nominees, of swiftness
to increase its own salaries and
endless palaver to defeat every mea-
sure of merit is not in favorable
situation to strike posture OF Of
Tended pride.
AS a matter of fact, General
Dawes speech was far from wild
assault. 1t was carefully and cour-
teously phrased. And it told the
incontrovertible truth. Why not wait
and tell the same truth more cir
cumspectly at potter hour? All,
there is where the infallible publ
city sense of the man who sold the
Dawes plan to Europe led him
Alright. Made when it was, the at
tack upon the Senate's rules flash
ed around the world. Made week
later, it would have lost nine-tenths
of its appeal. The General was
right in his judgement of the eff
fiicient moment. Dignity and eff
cheney are frequently difficult to re-
concile.
Thus the Senate is certain to face
a continually outraged public SEN
timent until it changes its rules.
The drive against the old unlimit-
ed debate of the Senate was ac-
tive in the editorial columns of
The Tribune forty years ago. Not
until the emergencies of the Great
War did the reform meet with any
success; and the cloture rule then
adopted is far from adequate for a
short session or for the closing
days of any session. The short ses-
sion should go-the Senate did pass
the Norris amendment, be it said
in its defense-and thereby the
worst filibusters would be made i'm
possible. In addition, more effec-
tive rule needs to be applied to all
debate in the upper house.
We are with the Vice-President,
and we believe the country is with
him. If so, the sooner the Senate
swallows its injured feelings and
amends its rules the better. The
American people and the business
of the American people are more
important than the complacency of
any ninety-six of its citizens, wheth-
err the ninety-six are Senators or
happen to deserve both
titles.-N. Y. Tribune.

DISABLED VET. ATTACKS
EX-PRUSSIAN GUARD FOR
ASSAULT TING HIS WIFE


Lee Smith, veteran of the 18th
Infantry, 9Th Division, hobbled to
the front of a New York courtroom
last Thursday, and faced Henry
Blaufus, veteran of the Prussian
Guards in the World War, and a
prisoner at the bar.
81 lost my right kneecap fighting
his kind in France" he shouted,
"and now all | ask is to be allowed
to kill this Hum"
Whereupon Smith flung himself
on the prisoner and attempted to
beat him with his fists. 1t required
the efforts of several attendants to
restrain the former American
doughboy., while Blaufus was hur-
ried into the cage" for safety's
sake. The courtroom was thrown in
to an uproar.
1t was then developed in the testi-
mony of Smith and his wife, Muriel,
that Blaufus conducts paint shop
in the basement at LAG West Eighty
third Street, where the Smith have
an apartment on the second floor.
A week ago Wednesday, Smith
testified, Blaufus passed him on the
stairway as he was "going up to
do some painting in your apart
ment." A few minutes later Smith
slipped on the sidewalk outside,
twisting his injured leg.
Limping back home he started
up the stair. AS he did so, he tes-
tilted, Blaufus ran down past him.
Then he heard screams from his
apartment. He found his wife in a
hysterical condition. She said Blau-
fus had attempted to attack her.
For days the enraged husband
limped about the streets, looking for
the man whom he had come to re-
gard with the bitterest enmity of
his life. Saturday night he found him
in restaurant and attacked him.
Blaufus, much larger, threw him to
the floor and began kicking him in
the face, it was said, when the po-
lice interfered.
Magistrate Barrett held Blaufus in
s., 900 bail for the grand jury.
