Local Sentiment and Legislation.

Repeatedly Washingtonians have
been told by members of Congress and
by committees dealing with local mat
tiers that their chief difficulty ION the
Hill" in District legislation is that
there is SO wide a range of public
opinion here on particular questions
that Congress cannot determine what
the District people want. OF course,
complete unanimity upon all ques-
tions Is not expected, even on the Hill.
1t is not to be had in any community.
But when Washington does agree upon
a question of legislative Importance
there is ground to look for congress
sional acquiescence. At least, for con-
gressional regard for local sentimen ts.
In the case of the mothers pension
bill, drafted with great care by rep
resentative body of Washingtonians
named by the District Commissioners
after hearing all interests, it does not
appear that the congressional precept
Of find out what you want first and
we will try to give it to YOU is to be
fulfilled For this measure, which was
laid before Congress with the approval
Of the Commissioners after painstak-
ing inquiry and preparation, Is now
being pushed aside in favor Of other
proposals bearing on the same subject,
offered by representatives not Of this

The Seating of Senator Nye,

Under its constitutional right to de-
termine the qualifications of it's own
members, the Senate yesterday de-
clared that a Senator appointed by a
governor to fill a vacancy is a "State
officer" in the meaning Of statute Of
the State which gives the governor
power to make appointments of such
officers In emergencies. At least, that
is the specific question which was an
swered when by vote of Al to SO the
Senate declared Gerald P. Nye Of
North Dakota entitled to a seat in
that body. Actually, however, the
case was decided not on the merits Of
that question. but on political grounds.
The newly named Senator was given
his seat because of his views on GER
tain matter now under consideration,
views which coincide with those of
the group which holds in a measure
the balance Of power in the Senate
when the parties divide.
Yesterdays vote, therefore. did not

Shenandoah Report Viewed
As Warming to Authorities

on one conclusion Of the Naval
Board which investigated the Shen-
andoah disaster there is general
agreement that the movement Of such
ships should henceforth be limited to
essentially naval and military opera
lions, especially in the case OF new
ana experimental types"
In the boards frank admission that
1t does not know what caused the
accident, the Dayton Daily News
finds the report unlike many yerdicrs
on similar matters. There is only
the highest praise for Comdr. Lans-
doWne and his crew. says the News.

went about their work in a thoroughly
fair and open-minded way, and only

All through the night we could hear
Jack Frost tapping with his little sleet
hammer at the north windows
Rap, rap. rappity-rap!
Jack was setting the stage, so that
with dawn We might see Estey alley
IN new dress, white, resplendent.
arrayed in the first real snow of the
Winter.
There is a difference, as every one
knows, between the first snow and
The first real snow. The one has the
interest of the novel, the other OF the
genuine article.
All the preceding day the snow had
tried to fail. Thin, dry flakes had
lodged in crevices on concrete and
along the borders of walks, achieving
no more than mere outline, however.
The Weather Bureau that evening
predicted snow in earnest Having
great confidence in the prognQstica-
tons of this estimable Government
bureau, we felt sure that the land
Scape would be changed by tomorrow
morning.
Sure enough, by o'clock that eve.
nlnE, snow was coming down at a
lively rate. Ambitious youngsters got
out their Christmas sIeds, and did
their best, with all the optimism of
childhood, to slide down the terraces.
by the time the radio had sung its
tast song, and the announcer had told
US. for the 'steenth time, how much
we had enjoyed it all, snow had COW
cred our street and our alley.
II we had ventured abroad we
would have discovered Jack Frost had
applied a similar coating to every
other street and alley in Washington
Being sleepy, however. we went to
bed.
Through the night we heard the
hammers OF the sleet. tapping AT the
latticed window, hammering against
glass, tinkling on the caves and along
the ralnSpout, rap-rap, rap, tap-tap,
tap.
Sometimes Jack has been known to
break glass, he pounds so energetical-
ly, but tonight he was in a gentle
mood. 1t was as II Nature had decreed
a snow, bur a refined variety, not the
course. clustering article sometimes
sent us.
This was a we'll bred. citified snow,
a snow that had read the police regula-
tons, and was giving heed to the traf-
tic regulations.
No doubt Of It, Jack Frost waited his
minute 1t the signal Of the red light
at sixteenth street. He would offend

what the elements had done for us
Rubbing the sleep ont of half-opcncd
eyes, with cold feet and colder ankles,
we pulled down the window as we
looked Uu1.
Something of other days revived in
our breast as we saw the white alley.
the white yards. roofs covered garages
turned into fairy palaces. fences
adorned. shrubs beautihed. withered
stalks revived.
The thought came that the practice
of leaving zInnia and other flower
stalks standing in the garden was a
good one, If for no other reason than
to receive the benedictiou Of the snow
Shrunkcn and bent as they were
every stalk now CLEANED, q thing Of
beauty, If not the proverbial joy for
ever.
AS yet the Estey alley was unsullied
by footprints. The track Of d horse
drawn milk wagon, and such steps as
the milkman required to serve his
wares at several houses-these alone
broke the smooth surface that greeted
the eye everywhere.
