Washington rs q Representative 81
the sovereign State Of Georgia, hi;
coming will mark the first time that
a man has attained the stature of q
national legislator because Of his pro-
ficiency with golf clubs. For ever
while Bobby Jones doubtless is a gooc
lawyer, he is known first to the country
at large as golfer. That he is a gooc
lawyer is attested by his present po-
sition as chief counsel for one Of the
important Southern railroads. But that
he is truly the Emperor Of the Links
will be attested by the millions who
have seen his graceful swing with the
driver.
Bobby Jones would be a distinct ad-
dition to the golfing colony of the Cap
ital, but in all probability, If Jones
comes here as member of the Nation
al Legislature, he will come as a mem
her Of Congress and not as a golfer.
Even in Atlanta, where he has more
leisure than he would have here, he
plays little golf between the big cham
pionships. It would, however, be a
unique situation for a member of Con-
gress to be playing In exhibition
matches, and there would then be no
doubt as to who Is the best golfer in
the national law-making body. The
pudgy figure Of Bobby Jones trudging
over the courses about Washington at
tempting to lose the weight he will have
gained in his irksome labors on Capitol
Hill would be an inviting one to watch.
It is not often that member of Con-
gress combines in one person that of an
internationally known sporting figure
and a member Of the National Legisla-
ture. Probably Bobby would need many
sessions on the links about Washing
ton-no matkr how super-heated the
relieve his mind of the
debates on Capitol Hill and the end
less committee work he would be ex-
pected to do. It is a graceful gesture
for Jones friends to suggest him for
membership in Congress. and should he
accept and win he Is assured Of a hearty
welcome in the National Capital.

The Rose Garden.

The Rose Garden.
'Mongst the roses gently smiling
I went forth one Summer day,
Where the sunbeams were beguiling
Butterflies to idle play.
There were buds for each tomorrow.
There were many thorns beneath,
Father Time to hide each sorrow
Had put on q blossom wreath.
Now the roses have departed,
And no perfume haunts the morn.
Many a laundering hand has smarted
As 1t rudely clutched thorn.
Since we hope again for roses
We must keep the briar, too,
Till another year discloses
Beauty poisoning anew.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Problems.

Problems.
There are problems in the morning
With the rising of the sun.
The cook has given warning,
And the egg is underdone.
The car has left me waiting,
Though I ran with all my might.
There are problems unabating
From the morning until night.
There are problems with the grocer,
There are problems with the rent,
And they keep on drawing closer
AS each busy day Is spent,
And when read the paper
discover, even there,
It's the customary caper.
There are problems everywhere.
I feel duly sentimental
AS I try to understand
The problems Oriental
And a few more near at hand.
But betimes have protested.
Wishing to be left alone,
And to figure unmolested
have problems Of my own.

earding the Senate race next year, there
is a growing impression in Massachu-
sets that he will not seek to succeed
himself in the Upper House OF Congress.
It has been suggested that he may be
given a diplomatic appointment OF I'M
portance to round out his public career.
Many Of the Republicans Of the State
would like very much to know If former
Gov Avian T. Fuller is to make bid
for the senatorial nomination. If he
does, it is believed he will win the Re-
publican nomination. This would not
particularly please the State organiza-
ton, to say the least. Mr.. Fuller, how
ever, was an ardent supporter Of Pres
ident Hoover long before Mr.. Hoover
received the nomination in Kansas City
last year.
The Republicans in the Bay State
have their troubles over the prohibition
question. The Democrats Of the State
are probably 80 per cent wet But the
followers Of the g. o. P; are approx
mately only IS per cent dry. Their
forces are welp divided, therefore, over
this question on which the Democrats
are almost solidly united. Some OF the
Republican State leaders are endeavor-
ing to take the prohibition question out
of politics In the State. But so far 1t
has not been possible to do so. In the
end the Republican party Of the State
may be forced to take q definite stand
on this question and fight the thing out.
When Senator Walter Edge Of New
Jersey goes to France as American Am
bassador soon after the pending tariff
bill has been disposed Of, the Republic
can governor Of his State will be called
upon to appoint Edges successor to the
Senate. David Baird, whose father
once sat in the Senate, Is believed in
many quarters to be the choice OF the
governor in such event. There has
been q suggestion, too, that Dwight W..
Morrow, Ambassador to Mexico, may be
time. or certainly by the time the SEN
atorial election Is held next year, and
that Mr.. Morrow may be candidate
for the Senate.

LISTEN WORLD!
The Greatest Talent
By Elsie Robinson

But accepts them as they are
and gives them what they need
That's true friendliness - the
rarest and most beautiful faculty
on earth.
That gives people something
much greater than the service Of
genius. People can buy art for
themselves and accumulate power
but there's one thing which may
not be bought with money nor
accumulated through energy, and
that's friendliness. And that is
the one thing which we need
more than all others, for it nour-
fshes the very roots of our life.
And the man or woman who can
give true friendliness renders a
greater service than the most
talented artist.
Don't be discouraged If you're
not clever with your head-or
skillful with your hands
BE CLEVER WITH YOUR
HEART.
And though you may not, re-
ceive great rewards in money or
applause for your gift, if you
really give yourself, in all
sincerity, you will receive some
thing that is worth much more
than money or applause
Men and women will let you
see their naked need
They will show YOU, without
shame, their fears and their
tears
They will even uncover their
shame and cling to you in their
bitter remorse.
And they will love you.
No talent on earth can give
you a reward as great as that
