WASHINGTON.- mo- need to Shoot

pay his bill as the bartender pointed
a gun at his head
you'll just mess up your saloon!"
Washington wonders now if in like
fashion the Hon. William S, Ware,
senator from the state of Pennsyl-
vania, will plead with the senate lead
ers who have long been sharpening
the axe for use upon his neck. SINH
lar sentiments no doubt will emanate
from the Hon. Frank L. Smith, sena-
tor from Illinois.
Ware and his friends have been
grasping at almost any old straw
which offered hope that he might OBJ
tain the senate seat to which he was
elected after spending huge sum
in the primary. Now they appear to
be confident that they can frighten
the senate into turning the Ware queS-
ton over to the committee on privil-
eyes and elections.
Tax reduction, flood relief, farm re-
lief, deficiency bills and other import
ant legislation are on the cards for
the first session of the 10th congress-,
Fast and efficient work will be re-
quired II satisfactory accomplishments
are to be achieved in time for everyone
to leave Washington in advance OF
the national conventions next year.
Even with Ware and Smith in their
seats, the next senate will be balky
one considering its political lineup
Conditions are not all favorable for
fast, smooth functioning.
On the other hand, if Ware and
Smith are kept out from the start, the
senate will be indefinitely delayed in
getting under way. There will be
grand fight over whether they should
or shouldn't be seated, and no one
can tell how long the fight would last,
to the detriment of all else. 1t will
be recalled that Senator David A.
Reed of Pennsylvania, Wares cham
pion, is a past master in filibustering
1T was Reed who tied up the senate
in it's closing days last year.

Because of the lack of a suitable

which will use Villefranche Bay, two
miles from Nice, as base.
The contour of the Riviera is such
that it will be necessary for engineers

work of levelling such field will be
