Alice Blue VS.. Gam Green

Washingtons latest social war is opening all kinds
of other battles. Not the least of these is Speaker
Longworth's fight for the prestige of congress, the
peoples branch Of the federal government.
Whether the victorious colors shall be her own

alleged to call Cam Green" in the row over the

Presidents sister and hostess. may seem unmportant
to the rank and file of But to the Speaker the is

The official representative of congress is the Speak

branch of government. Congress should not be out
ranked by the chief justice representing the judicial
branch and certainly not by the sister of the Vice
President whose constitutional status really is that Of
presidential understudy. At least, that is the way
Speaker Longworth feels about it.
AS for the social war, we leave that to the ma
trony legions of Alice and Nick and to the defending
forces of Dolly and Charlie, asking for ourselves only
the right of humble citizens to enjoy good fight
But if Nick wants to fight fol-. congress, we hope
he will save some of his strength for the political
battle There are lots of leaderIess citizens-who

that the executive and judicial branches of the federal

OVERRIDING SAFEGUARDS

A MOTHER feature of the pro-
IN posed tariff, and by no means
the least important, is the increased
rates on imports from some of our
nearest neighbors and best custom
erS.
Canadian grain, wheat and dairy
products are hard hit. Argentina
could not help feel the pressure on
wool, corn and beef. Although the
committee had sense enough not to
put a duty on Philippine sugar, it
raised that on Cuban sugar, which
will be felt not only by the Cubans
but probably by every housewife in
America.
Protection, like everything else,
can be oVerdone.
