Yesterdays papers carried an
account of how Clarence True
Wilson, head Of the Methodist
Board of Prohibition, Temperance
and Public Morals. revealed to
the committee investigating con.
gressio. al lobbying that several
members of Congress at present
have their lodgings in the Meth
odist Building adjoining the Cap
itol.
To me this means much. 1t is
simply another proof in a long
list that Congress is being run
by no others than the able gen.
tlemen who have their offices in
the Methodist Building plus the
able assistance of the Anti Saloon
League.
They are so fond of their dry
minions! If the pitiless publicity
that would ensue could be
avoided, 1 am sure that they
would be only too glad to offer
them their rooms free of charge.
Surely the services of their
slaves are very valuable to them.

Editor, Times:
There are many critics of the
American scheme of things who
make their chief argument to the
effect that this is too much OF
a materialistic country. that ma
terialism and the desire for
wealth has made the American a
callouS and indifferent person.
In the sense that this is a
rich and a powerful nation, that
argument has some truth IN 1t.
That is to say. we are Materials
tic, but only in the sense that
we have money. If the criClcS
would only look a little further
they would discover the rich
undercurrent of feeling and
SpiritualiSm that pervades the
life of the average American.
For it is there, wealth OF no
wealth. The people Of this coun-
try have not forgotten the mani
fold benefits to be had from
regular church attendance. Even
though they may have money,
they have not lost their awe of
God and their desire to live good,
orderly lives. And this spiritual
side of our people is demon
Strated not only by the good
record of church attendance they
have made for themselves. Ameri-
cans as a whole contribute a
truly staggering sum of money
each year to charity. They give
money to endoW colleges and
hospitals, churches and founda-
tions. They are fortunate enough
to make money, but. once having
got it, the carping critics should
notice, they spend it for good
causes that shall help their less
fortunate fellow men.
I think it is a good argument
for religion in general, of what
ever creed or denomination, that
here in this country today the
love of God has prevailed. If
the power we so quickly secured
had gone to our heads and caused
us to forget Him who gave us
that wealth and high position,
would we not have gone the way
of old Rome? MINISTER.

more events of the same type
brought here.
How about the national anna
teur and open golf championships
of the country? If memory
serves right, we have had only
one national open in Washing
ton, and that was eight years
ago. We have never had ma
tional amateur championship
here. Our golfers have never seen
Bobby Jones in action save in
exhibition matches.
It seems to me that the golfers
of the country would be glad to
play in the National Capital
possibly more so than any other
city in the country. Why cannot
the Columbia or the Chevy Chase
Club make a bid for the event?
It would be a splendid idea to
have the event here in 1882, the
year of our bicentennial celeora'
ton. It would fit in splendidly
with the scheme of things Tor
the year, and probably bring
thousands of visitors here.

 It was pointed out to the gover- nor at Q conference with Congress- man John Q. Tilson and J.

Since congress may adjourn before that times, the governor feels a special election would be unnecessary, 1t was reported.
 Governor John H. Trumbull hle telegraphed Congressman Tilson for a definite opinion as 10 whether congress will adjourn within two months.
 If the special election is not hell, Glynn's successor will be chosen at the regular November election.

GREAT GARBO AT STRAND

Groa Garbo makes her talking picture debut in Anna Christie '' her new Metro-G -Goldwyn- Mayer stat ring vehicle, which is at the Strand theater today and Wednesday.
 In this picture Garbo scores the triumph of her career, her voice recording splcndidly. adding power to her dramatic instinct and bring ing fascination in multiple quanti- ties to her personality.
 As the heroine of Eugene O'Neili' s play Of regeneration, Garbo contrib utes a performance of great pois- nancy and effectiveness. Never be- fore has she reached such heights of emotionalism.
 Clarence Brown. who directed the picture from Frances Marions adap- tation of the play in which Pauline Lord originally starred. may ha credited with having produced the most artistic and compelling talkin ' picture yet to reach the screen. He has not allowed the mechanics of the mlcrophone to stilt his action or hamper the pictorial scope of tn ? camera. The timing Of the dialogue is capably done. every spoken word or sound exactly in it's most effective place.
