Complimentary Remarks
Concerning Democrats
by CHARLES r. STEWART

Washington, Feb. 23.-Thc impos-
sible's happened.
Calvin Coolidge has talked too
much. At any rate, the presidential
spokesman" has.
And, as Congressman Oliver sug-
gestcd in the House of Representa-
tivcs the other day, it's rumored IN
Washington that Calls vcntrilo-
quist and the presidential spokes-
man" is the dummy he does his talk
ing through.
Anyway, the presidential spokes-
man" recently complimented the
Democrats in Congress for uniting
with the Republicans to pass ''ncn-
partisan" bills.
What did the presidential spokes-
man" mean by this?
A word of explanations necessary.
It's politics, and tiresome, but won't
take long.
The Explanation
Congress consists of regular Re-
publicans, regular Democrats and So
called radicals, who are rebel Repub-
licans, mostly.
In the 68tk Congress, as in this
the Goth, the regular Republicans had
| safe majority in the House of
Representatives, SO leave the House
Of Representatives out Of considera-
| ton.
The regular Democratic senator's
home folks hadn't been paying much
attention to what their senators
were doing, but when a Republican
| presidential spokesman" compli-
mented them they sat up and took
notice.
|
folks, in flood Of kilograms.
Were being led around by the
ear by Republican administration
explained Senator Jim Reed of Mis-
| souri,, in public statement.
Whereupon the coalition" blew
up, with dcafening report, in the
midst of the Senate debate on the
| tax bill. As for the tax bill, go t.
it! Rip it up! Ruin it," yelled Sena-
tor Smoot, its sponsor, in an access
Of fury, as he saw what the combined
| Democrats and radicals were doing
!, to it.
Bill Badly Damaged
From which it may be gathered
| that it was badly damaged tax bill
From all indications the rest OF
! this Congress will be one prolonged
| Donnybrook.
The coalition" has gone flooey.
But in the Senate the Democrats
| and radicals together are stronge,
than the regular Republicans-that
is to say, when they vote unitedly.
In the last Congress that's what
they did, tying up everything.
However, a regular Republican
and regular Democrat have fan
more in common than either one
| has with radical.
So, between sessions, the regular
Republicans buttonholed the regular
Democrats and said, Lets combine
| against these dam radicals and you
shall have some Of the gravy"
Thus was formed what the radi-
calls called the coalition" though
the regulars, on both sides, hated the
| expression.
Every time the regular Republi-
| cans wanted to do anything of any
consequence, they proclaimed, "This
is non partisan" which enabled the
| regular Democrats to vote for it.
1t was an arrangement which hog
tied the radicals completely. No
wonder the regular Republicans were
grateful for the regular Democrats
cooperation.
Hence that expression Of apprccia-
ton from the presidential spokcs
man."

Some of the girls arc bad and some
are good though one wonders how

rotten soil. One girl, former stem

the risks-wcre greater in this game
than in any other work she could

"But, you know, ladies must live"
