Many supposedly wise political OBJ
servers thought Representative Alben
w. Barkley could not be elected to
the Senate from Kentucky. because he
was both an ardent dry" and a mill
tant foe of race track betting. 1t was
figured that these two tendencies on
the part of the aspiring congressman
would ALLEVIATE sufficient number of
old-time Democrats. still fmbued with
the traditions of fast hosses and good
Ticker" to insure the return of Sena-
tor Ernst on the Republican ticket.
But the observers reckoned without a
certain local situation in the Blue
Grass State, and also without the po-
litical acumen Of those elements who
admittedly stif1 love a good horse race
and a dram of the best old bourbon.
The local situation consisted of
the fact that Mr.. Barkley seriously
was considering running for governor
This gave the race track people and
the confirmed vets" a real scare
Their relief knew no bounds when
Mr.. Barkley's ambitions switched to
higher things and he decided to try
for a senatorial toga. They felt Mr..
Barkley would continue to serve his
State with distinction in the higher
sphere of the National Legislature.
They got behind his candidacy and
the elements which the casual thought
would be against Mr.. Barkley were all
working. discreetly and silently, of
course. for him. His election was as
sured a long time ago. AS a United
States Senator. il was argued. he
would not have such a. vital interest
in race track betting or in State pro
hibition as if he were in the gov
ernor's chair al Frankfort.
All of which goes to show that poll
tics has many ways of making queer
bedfellows.
Texas. by common knowledge. has
been one Of the States where politics
during the last six months has had a
white-hot interest The fight of Dan
Moody. State attorney general on
Gov. Ma" Ferguson and her execu-
tive consort. Jim" was something
Of political classic. 1t stirred the
vast Lone Star State to its very cen
ter. Two smashing campaigns We're
necessary. Two primaries were held.
Ma and lin" were overwhelmed
In both Of them. The Ferguson re-
for Ma" refused to carry out her Of
fer to resign at once if Dan Moody
beat her a single vote.
But Texas politics all ended with
the primaries. In the last of these
Dan Moody got more than half mil
lion votes. Ma" Ferguson got more
than a quarter of a million.
On national election day Texas was
as quiet as Sunday school picnic
even quieter. Two days after the cleo
ton the total vote counted for Mr.
Moody was only slightly above IS 900.
Not 10 per cent Of the voters went to
| the polls.
Here was an election-day incident
observed by the writer in Fort Worth
A blue-coated policeman was busy
putting chalk Anarks on parked auto
mobiles. 'They % it everywhere.
An earnest-looking citizen ap-
preached
"Officer,' he said. "can YOU tell me
where they are voting around here to-
day."
The cop looked up in sheer surprise
He scratched his head then he
shook it,
Indeed I can't. brother" he finally
replied and resumed his chalking

Public Building Sites.


1t is expected that some time dur
ing this coming week the Public
Buildings Commission will meet tc
consider the questions that have aris
the five buildings contemplated for
immediate erection under the $50, 900,
0oN program for Washington. These
buildings are the future homes ofsthe
Departments of Comerce. Justice and
Labor. and the Internal Revenue Blu
reau and the Hall of Archives. The
sites for the two last-named have
been chosen, along the southern edge
Of the Mall-Avenue triangle between
Tenth and Fourteenth streets. AS tC
the other three, however, there is
much difference of opinion. Three diff
ferent sites for the Department OF
Commerce have been proposed--on
the Mall between Twelfth and Four
teenth streets, on the Government
Mall-Avenue triangle and on an area
now occupied in part by Center
Market and the wholesale commits
sion houses. Sites for the Depart
ments of Justice and Labor have been
suggested within the ''five-square
tract at the western edge of the tri
angle. with no alternatives, provided
that space should be allotted to the
Department Of Commerce.
In connection with the question of
the location of these buildings a pro
posal has been advanced that this is
the appropriate time to secure the
condemnation of all the land within
the Mall-Avenue triangle not already
owned or occupied by the Govern
ment. 1t has even been suggested
that a portion of the fund designated
for public buildings in Washington
under the general program adopted by
Congress, should be applied to this
purpose. in order to permit most
satisfactory emplacement of buildings
now and hereafter within the space
which is so plainly suitable for Gov
ernment construction. A question
however, has been raised as to the
feasibility Of tising this fund for such
purpose, and it appears to be now
agreed that additional legislation
must be secured to effect, the whole
sale acquisition Of the triangle.
With the return to Washington OF
Senator Smoot. chairman of the Pub
lie Buildings Commission, these mat
ters will be put in the way of decision
The Commission of Fine Arts and the
City Park and Planning Commission
have an advisory Jurisdiction over the
question, bat without conclusive au
thority. The Public Buildings Com.
mission is the determining factor.
In one respect 1t appears that the
question is simplf1ed. Definite oppo-
sition TO the emplacement of the Com
merce Department Building on the
Mall has been expressed by the Pres
ident, and that opositlon will prob
ably govern to prevent the further en-
croachment on the reservation by de.
rartmental structures. Consideration
Of Mall site for this new building.
tentatively designed to be the largest
Of all the Government structures in
Washington, was induced by the fact
that the area could he occupied with
ont restriction by street lines. This
same adva ntage could he had if the
MalI-ANenne triangle were acquired
and treated AS A whole, without ref.
erence 10 present streets and with re.
gard only for the suitable placement
Of the public structures.

SHOOTING STARS.

A Vanished Theme.

A Vanished Theme.
Oh, where is the song of the poor
workingman.
Who struggled to live on his wage;
Who sa we'd on A patient and diligent
plan
To provide for the needs of old age?
This cannot be he who comes riding
so gay
To tell of base balls latest score.
He never takes less than twelve dol
lars a day.
The poor workingman" is no more!
The orator, grieving Ger tolls weary
fate,
Must talk of the farmer alone,
Or tell of the tariff with emphasis

While tiresome statistics are shown.
Prosperity brings a deplorable lot
To those who with rhetoric soar:
A favorite topic must now be forgot,
The poor workingman" Is no more!
