Not a Daniel But a Moses
Called to Judgment

Not a Daniel But a Moses
Called to Judgment
There is blood on the Republican
moon.
Not Daniel but Moses has been
called to judgment.
It is not the call of the wild but the
sound of pounding hoofs.
The wild asses are in battle forma-
ton and Senator Moses defenses are
to be stormed and his political fences
to feel their fury.
When the distinguished member
from New Hampshire in impeccable
English and with a nonchalance typ
ical of his New England environment
denounced the Republican insurgents
and compared them to the long-eared
quadrupeds noted for obstinacy and
stupidity, he started political feud
which has been smoldering ever since.
Again the flames have broken out.
Senator George Higgins Moses is up
for reelection as president pro tenn
pore of the United States senate, not
small honor as political pluns go.
The insurgents clamor for his scalp.
Defeat Of Moses might goad con-
servative senators to retaliate and let
the Democrats organize the senate.
Committee chairmanships are dis
tributed as follows among the wild
asses, so-called:
Foreign Relations - Senator
BORAH.
Judiciary-Senator NORRIS.
Interstate Commerce - Senator
COUZENS.
Claims-Senator HOWELL.
Commerce-Senator JOHNSON.
Indian Affairs-Senator FRA
ZIER.
Manufacturers-Se enator LA
TOILETTE.
Public Lands-Senator NYE.
Banking and Currency-Sena-
tor NORBECK.
Senator Nye is the chief belligerent.
His grievance against Senator Moses
Is deeper than any offense at being
branded a wild ass. He recalls the
breach of senatorial courtesy which
prompted Senator Moses to have a
certain expense account published in
the Congressional Record. OF course
Moses did so out of pure political
pique. There are many expense ac-
counts still unpublished which the
readers of that publication would en-
JOY as much as they did the one
Moses had spread on the record. Be
that as it may, the insurgents have
drawn quite a bill of indictment
against the gentleman from New
Hampshire. They plan his ruin, but
the rub comes in the fact that in get.
ting Senator Moses goat, the "wilc
asses" might find themselves clipped
of good committee assignments ane
useful patronage. Time will revea
whether they hate Moses more thar
they love comfortable committee
berths.
But Senator Moses has a problem
on his hands with the sons of tht
wild jackasses," as he literally callet
them, out cunning for him. His chic
protection will be the conservative
who may use the lever of patronag,
to prevent the defeat of the, New
Hampshire solon. The Republican
have SO many major conflicts on thei
hands that the general political wo
may heal up family ructions and com
pose the troubled waters in the inter
ests of party discipline.

AT THE MOVIES
AT THE CAPITOL

"Lasca Of the Rio Grande," now
playing at the Capitol theatre, is
being called zone Of the most beau
tiful pictures Of the season" in addi-
tion to being one Of the most active
talkies seen here in months. It
moves. And when it is still it is
beautiful to look at.
Under the direction of Edward
Laemmle, "Lasca" players in color
full Mexican costumes and Western
frontier outfits were photographed
against backgrounds of Spanish
haciendas with graceful arches and
exquisite landscaping, in valleys rich
in foliage and on the tops Of high
mountain ridges overlooking the
painted deserts.
A gay fiesta, which is interrupted
by the eager conflict between two
jealous men, has as its background
a picturesque Spanish home and in
each sequence Director Laemmle has
framed his fast action in beautiful
and distinctive settings.
Leo Carrillo appears as Santa
Cruz, a border bandit and bold ro-
mancer, in "Lasca of the Rio
Grande," John Mack Brown is fea-
tured as Texas ranger and Dorothy
Burgess plays the title role to the
hilt. Slim Summerville and Frank
Campeau, as two uncouth prospec-
tors, provide the humorous side of
the swift moving story.
