Damn the Torpedoes +"

AS Vice President Dawes muses. tc
himself during his parting days on the
Senate rostrum, he must often hark
back to that explosive March 4, 1925
when he admonished laxative Senate
in. vain to mend its loquacious ways
The upper house of Congress is at this
moment going through exactly that kind
of performance which Gen. Dawes
assailed as system deliberately designed
to clog the wheels of public business.
With less than six weeks of the ex-
piring session left, the Senate is dillying
and dallying over irrelevant matters
while pressing legislation awaits action
endlessly held up under the rules per-
hitting unlimited debate. A few days
ago, when his colleagues were wasting
time in hairsplitting over the Kellogg
pact, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, deplored "the
pathetic exhibition" the Senate was
giving of itself. Criticism even from
within its own most responsible ranks
apparently leaves the chamber cold.
Once again, while the affairs, of the
Republic burn, the Senate fiddles.
1t is the cruiser bill which is the
victim of the pending orgy of procras-
tination. The measure is the target OF
so-called undercover filibuster. The
opponents Of the Nays needs have not
the hardihood to fight them in the open
and court a roll-call decision. They
know they will be worsted the moment
the Senate can be polled. They are
therefore resorting to the more subtle
and the more deadly subterfuge OF
parliamentary obstruction. They throw
into the breach a three-hour speaker on
prohibition, as they did yesterday.
The. Senate rules, against which Vice
President Dawes tilted, allow for dog
n-the-manger tactics such as the anti
cruiserites are now pursuing. It is true
that they also provide for cloture. But
cloture is invoked reluctantly by Sena-
tors, and there is always the possibility
that men who favor given measure,
like the cruiser bill, may be unwilling,
on principle, to vote for cloture against
even arbitrary and useless debate.
Senator Hale, chairman of the naval
affairs committee, is in charge Of the
cruiser bill. He has shown almost too
much patience. He let the Kellogg
treaty have the right of way Immediately
after the holiday recess, on condition
that the cruisers thenceforward should
have smooth sailing. Instead of that
Mr.. Hale found their course strewn
right and left with artificial icebergs
and synthetic snags, which but smoke.
screen their real purpose. That purpose
is to wreck the cruiser bill by preventing
action during the remaining days Of
the session, and thus postponing theil
authorization for at least another year
The country favors the cruisers. The
Senate is unquestionably ready to vote
them. Let Senator Hale take the bridge
with his courage in both hands, imbibe
the spirit of Farragut at Mobile ant
Dewey at Manila, damn the torpedoes!"
and lead his squadron of supporters
ruthlessly through the ranks of the
ambuscading armada. The prediction i,
ventured that they will be speedily con.
founded and disrupted.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.
Truthless Singer.

Truthless Singer.
My friend who likes to write in rhyme
Keeps me deluded all the time.
Concerning which way is inclined
His state of mind.
And when he gives a gentle trill
OF twilight sky and purpling hill.
He wants to turn his thoughts away
From a tough day.
And when the storm he will extol
With words about his raging soul,
I know by this intense display
He's feeling gay,
And wishes somewhat to reduce
A levity too great for use.
And that's why poets, we believe,
Will all deceive.

once by creating pure romance out Of
the commonly accepted prose Of maps

have book by John Faris that often

SteUart Sees No Reason Why Tears
Need be Shed in Beh af of Sinclair
And His Present Plight in Prison

WASHINGTON, May i6.-Now
that Harry r. Sinclair really Is
getting on TO his e0-day term In
jail, q good many people are be-
ginning to feel sorry for him.
On every hand n overhears
their expressions Of sympathy for
the poor captive.
Pictures Of him did look rather
melancholy, as he entered the
prison a few nights ago. Probably
he actually felt pretty glum at
that particular moment.
However. he soon got over 1t. No
tears need be shed in hts behalf.
Even Tn jail, he still Is plenty bet
ter off than q lot Of folk outside 1t.
In the first place, It Is all non
sense to say that Sinclair is treat
ed exactly like any other prisoner.
Major w. l.. Peak. the jail sup
erintendent. undoubtedly means to
have him treated like all the 9TH
ers. But can the major erase from
all his subordinates' minds-yes.
and from the prisoners'-con-
~sciousness OF the fact that Harry
a scatter a handful OF million
dollar tips around as easily as not,
II he chooses, when his 90 days
r up?

his residence there. He owes that

practically adapting hts working
day 10 his own preferences.
Harry's sleeping quarters thus
far have been In q big dormitory,
which Is not SO pleasant, but 1t Is
suggested that IL may be found
desirable TO furnish him with a
cot in the pnarmacy-where he
viii be right on hand TO mix
medicines, in case anyone should
be taken iii unexpectedly.
His meals he viii continue to
take In the main mess hall-unless
possibly, as his duties pile up on
him, it becomes necessary 10 have
them sent in to him occasionally,
at his prescription case.
1T should be distinctly under
stood that there viii be no dis
elimination.
Any seeming favcrs that arr
shown to him Harry win earn by
being one OF the most servieable
prisoners ever housed by the Dis
trict of Columbia jail. At the same
time. it is lucky for him that he
Is an expert pharmacist.
Sinclair will not be allowed any
special table delicacies. Friends
have offered to send them in to
him, but Major Peak vetoed this
| proposition promptly. The pris-
Cners are fed well, anyway. The
food Is not fancy. but 1t Is clean.
plentiful and well cooked. For a
change. it is quite likely that Harry
will not only thrive on his rations.
but relish them.
Smoking Is permitted.
Prisoners who are at all depend
ent on alcoholic refreshments
sometimes suffer considerable dis
comfort for a while. getting used
TO complete abstinence from slim
ulants. OF course alcohol Is bar
red absolutely-except incidentally
-on prescription-from the phar-
macy.
All 7 saw Of Sinclair at Major
Peaks Jail was the merest glimpse.
In the distance. Harry does not
went to meet any outsiders, ex-
cept his lawyers, who are quite
frequent callers. and the institu-
items management makes a point
Of respecting his wishes.
The ti-millionaire is by all
odds the best dressed man in the
prison. far outshining the major.
Not that his attire is conspicuous
but tasteful IL looks as Ii the
best tailor in New York made tt
and the most expensive.
The majors guests are not uni
formed. or otherwise identifiable
rs prisoners.
In brief, If philosophical. as he
appears to be. Harry Sinclair can
serve out his 90 days in jail with
out the least discomfort and have
an interesting experience to look
back on.
Time was when a good many
lalis were sure-enough noisome
dungeons. Some probably are vet.
but not the ID. C.. Jail.
No conditions exist there which
2 reasonable prisoner cannot read
ny accommodate himself to. He
may have ether things to worry
about. If his business is going 10
smash while he stays locked IN. or
II his family Is suffering. or III his
soJourn Is due to end in the death
chamber-these are considerations
TO prey on anyone's mind.
Sinclair has no such sources OF
anxiety.
Possibly he feels humiIiated-but
why should he? Lots Of good men
nave been in prison. Iron bars are
not q disgrace, provided ones con-
science Is clear-and I doubt AZ
Harry's troubles him.
