St. PaI's Chapel


Colonial atmosphere has been scarce
in lower Broadway for many years,
but st. Pauls chapel, the Oldest e1-
listing church ediacs In the iAand,
has brought back some Of the grace
and simplicity Of the days Of the Rev
olutien- The famous place of worship
has been rsdscoratsd and renovated
to conform with the fashions prevail
Ing In 17s4-8. when St Paul's was
built BY Mclean
When the British evacuated the city
after the surrender ut Yorktown
nearly al Of the decorations that indi-
Gated an English afaliation were torn
out Of the chapel.
Every royal emblem, every reminder
Of the connection with Great Britain,
was removed with the exception of
the three-feathersd badge Of the heir
apparent Of the English throne sur
mounting the pulpit. The heir appar-
ent then became George Nv In 1911
Through some neglect his emblem was
left In its original place and for years
1t was the subject OF curious questions.
This heraldic badge Of the prince OF
Wales survived many periods Of deco
ration when other ancient embellish-
ments were removed.
Now many Of these decorations have
been returned to their former posi-
tions. But the British atmosphere"
has not been brought back. Only the
Colonial fixtures used when George
Washington was President of the
United States have kept their places
in the old church. 1t was there that

patriotic pilgrims, Is on the Vesey

WASHINGTON COULD

Washington could have a five-cent
fare. it could acquire the traction
lines ana own them so as to pay Tor
them out of the surplus that 1t would
Weld in profits, and it could even re
duce electric power rates-if it could
get the local government to acquire
the lines.
At the request Of Senator Capper,
the local utilities commission submit
ted a statement of what might be
done with municipal ownership. All
the advantages are admitted, the fig
ures bear them out, ana there are no
disadvantages so far as the commits
sion can see. But it winds up Its
report with saying that it is against
municipal ownership-just why Il
does not say-except that the sue
cessful operation of the street cal
lines here would give the movement
for municipal ownership considerable
prestige everywhere-and that TIT
administration does not like.

HELM CRTTICIZES
SUPREME COURT

LAWYERS, and to a lesser extent,
laymen were Mortified several days
ago when Senator Helm, of Alabama
rose in his seat and criticized the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The newspapers said it was an at
tack on the Supreme Court, which IN
creased the horror Of it, particular
IN to those who depended on the
headlines for their information OF
what transpired. Those who read 1t,
however, find that it was a very mild
criticism-just a suggestion that II
should have decided the Nal Daugn-
erty case in the two years 1t has
been pending.
But mild as It was, the shock 1t
created was more than the lawyers
could stand. Criticism of the Su-
4 Dreme court has not been attempted
/ in vears-at least not since the La
Toilette campaign of 1924, when the
criticism was limited to the sugges-
ton that acts of Congress declared
bv it unconstitutional ought to be
reenacted and validated by Congress.
Fortunately for those who regard
the Supreme Court as above crltl-
.cism, and unfortunately for those
who feel that the court, now more
so than ever, is the last resort OF eV
erv plutocrat, and is plutocracy'
greatest hope should Congress eve
/ get unluly, Senator Helms criticism
will not be taken seriously-for Sena
tor Heflin's facts and figures do no
90 far in the Senate.

DEMOCRATS CAN
HAVE EXTRA SESSION

The Democrats can have an extra
session-if they want it. And they
would want it if they had any issues
upon which they could tackle the Re
publicans on. But just now no one
wants an extra session, even though
the numerous Investigations that are
to be made, ard the others that are
to be ordered, would furnish the OPP
Dortunity to compel the calling Of a
special session.
The Republicans do not want a spe-
+ cial session. because it would con-
tinue indefinitely the investigations
and perhaps give the insurgents ano
+ Democrats an opportunity to steal a
march on them, particularly IN The
matter Of appointments. The Demo
Gratis do not want a special session.
f because if one Is held, they would
have to develop an issue, or disclose
that they have no issue-and they
are without an issue. And the msur-
gents do not want a special session
because there is a lot Of reactonary
LEGISLATION that may come up, and CT
those occasions they may find, as
they have found only too often IN th'
past. that the Democrats would vot
with the Republicans, and leave chen
out in the cold.
