Our WASHINGTON Letter

= NATIONAL Gpucsn ASSOCIATION vtclG

Washington, February 29.-While
the Lenten season has cast its pail
over the social affairs in official
Washington, the political situation
continues at full blast. The factional
fights which are inevitable in states
where the primaries are at hand ma
turally leave their mark on the bust
ness of politics here. There are so
many ambitious men residing here
who cherish the idea that destiny
has selected them for high office that
it is advisable to study every act and
word in order to ascertain their mo-
tives. 1t is amusing to peek behind
the scenes at those who become i'm
patient waiting for the lightning of
popular approval to strike and thus
strut forth with lightning rods in
their hands.
The Senate which assumes it ne
cessary to put on the appearance of
a deliberative body, finds it impossible
to speed up occasionally. The estab-
lishment of Budget Bureau a few
years ago has eliminated much of the
responsibility that the legislative bo-
dies took over in consideration of ap
preparations for the maintenance of
governmental activities. AS result,
there is little opportunity for pro-
longed debate after the appropriations

checked up on the Budget Bureaus

resentative Kindred of New York, pro-
poses to have a special House COM
mittee conduct an inquiry into the
activities of the Federal Trade Com
mission. 1t will be recalled that the
Commission has been the chief in
vestigator of American business for
many years and has now been as
signed under a Senate resolution to
study the public utility field. The
decisions of the Commission after in
uuiries of the so-called bread, alum
mum and other alleged combinations
have proven unsatisfactory to certain
groups in Congress and they want the
Commission to explain. The charge
has also been made that the Trade
Commission frequently serves as a
pigeon-hole for investigations which
might carry political dynamite.
The personnel of the Commission has
also been severely criticized by Sen
ators.

Julien Monette of Bruno,
Was Past &c When He
Died Friday.-Was Born

health right along until the last few
weeks when the infirmaties of old
age gave way and he weakened until
the end came peacefully.

Nov. 20, 1881. He had made his
home in Pine county for a number
of years.
