The Nations City
The Senate's Opportunity

With subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Commit
Zee about to take the District appropriation BILL the people
Of Washington look to that group for continuance Of fair
play courage and intelligence in dealing with the fiscal affairs
of the National Capital.
In the past the Senate has always stood in defense of the
District against those members of the House who would allow
personal prejudice and anmus to destroy the city beautiful

The House acting upon the pending appropriation bill went
to extreme lengths to se the development Of Washington to
cripple its administration and to force upon its citizens

Washngtonians look confidently Senator Hiram Bingham
and his colleagues the appropriations subcommittee for
reasonable revision Of the measure.
Final enactment of wise and proper appropriation bill IS
dependent upon the settlement Of the amount Of the Federal
share in the expenses of the Capital.
The House reduced that share $500000 from the $780,
900 which prevailed for years. The lower figure
set arbitrarily without iota of intelligent argument to
sustain it.
After setting that amount the Federal SHARE the House
proceeded to pare down every essential item in the bill

It is easy for an American
to sympathize with his

and lived in poverty. He
educated himself at night

unthinkable that he should
have had an enemy in the
world. And yet he was
murdered. Nothing illus
trates better the futility
and the usual asininity Of
political assassinations. This
murder was aimed, not at
Paul Doumer, but at the
presidency Of France; and
the presidency of France is
not injured. Cove rnment
goes on as usual.
The attempt to ascribe the
murder to the Russian Com
munists, inspired no doubt
by a rather detestable at

it's face. The murderer was
on the other side. He be-

The realists of Moscow are
not wasting powder for
nothing-and the murder of
a kindly old man like Dou-

their cause. The report on the

agent Of Moscow smacks very
strongly of the miserable
canard put out by "respect-
able people" to defeat the
Macdonald ministry when
the first was overthrow at

Doumer TO Be Buried
In the Pantheon

It was the wish Of the
French nation to pay him
the signal honor Of burial in
the Pantheon. This exquisite
building has seen a few of
the great men of France
come and go.
Mirabeau was buried there
in an imposing demonstra-
ton, and then his secret re-
lations with the King were
discovered and he was
thrown out by the revolu-
tionists.
Marat rested there while
and was thrown out. The
few there now include the
immortals of France-not
many of them statesmen.
There rests Voltaire-and
Rousseau-and Victor Hugo
and Zola-all interested
in public policies, but. none
politicians.
All of them at times were
the subjects of bitter contro-
versy. Three were driven
from their country at one
time or another. Voltaire
and Rousseau lived in Swift
zerland when the one alter
native was living in the
Bastile, but both were per-
mitted to return to France.
Hugo, whose flaming
wrath over the treachery Of
"Napoleon the Little" who
chad Hortense for a mother
and some father or other"
drove him from France,
lived for years on a British
island, and wrote while
there his masterpiece, "Les
Miserables::' lola turned
the resources of his mind
and heart against the lynch
ers of Dreyfus and escaped
exile by winning in the
fight. All these men were
colorful, all were men of
real genius, all belong in
the Pantheon.

This Married Life
If a man and wife still love
each other after he has taught

her to drive a car and to play
a good game of bridge, it is a
sign that they were mated in
heaven.
These days, the average man
appears to be going through
life with his hand on his pulse
-defying ANY woman to make
him register a thrill.
Many a good husband puts
up a lifelong struggle in the
effort to keep the wolf away
from the beauty-doctor's door.
Real love is not the tender
passion which survives in spite
Of endless years of separation,
but the kind that survives
through fifty-two long Sundays

over the radio.
Everything is being invented
to- deaden woman'S domestic in

sense to stick them in the oven
and bake them.

The Great Leader
Of the Socialists

And there, too, is Jean
Jaures, the great leader of
the Socialists, perhaps the
foremost orator in the world
at the time of his death.
We Americans do not put
Socialists or radicals in
Pantheons - they do in
France. His assassination at
the very beginning of the
war he had opposed has
been ascribed to a deliber-
ate conspiracy of militarists,
though there is no proof.
His whole life was storm.
The Washington times., 1932-05-12

His leadership of his partT
was wise and his eloquence
was equal to any ever heard
in France.
The other day a French
man told me an interesting
story of Jaures which throws
a rather tender light upon
his memory. 1t was in the
days when the anti-cleric
sentiment was running wild
in France. One day a Paris
paper announced that the
daughter of Jaures would be
married in a Catholic
Church. There was malice
in the announcement because
of the Socialist attitude to-
ward the church, but there
was truth. That night
Jaures was to speak at a
public meeting and the mar
ratQr of this story with other
students went to the meet
ing for the purpose of in
sulting the man who had
been their idol.
Jaures appeared upon the
platform and began to speak.
Instantly hundreds Of
leather-lunged youths were
on their feet jeering, kissing,
groaning, shouting. They
drowned the voice of Jaures.
The great man stood pa
tiently, an expression of
sadness on his face, waiting
for a lull. At length it
came, and in low tones
Jaures referred to the an
nouncement of his daugh-
ter's wedding.
The press report was quite
true, he explained. When a
young man, he continued, he
had fallen in love with a
young woman. He was a
Socialist - and against the
church. She was a Catholic
and a devout one. She
had no thought of interior
ing with his political belief,
and he no wish to deprive
her of the solace she found
in her religion. But there
would be children-and that
would complicate matters.
They faced the fact And it
was agreed that the boys
should follow in their
fathers footsteps if they
wished, and that the girls
should be brought up in the
mothers faith.
Here Jaures paused to pay
a tender tribute to his wife:
"She never has interfered
with my career, and I would
abandon that career before
I would interfere with her
religion or violate my
pledge"
The Washington times., 1932-05-12
All Loved
France

The young men listened
in silence and with tears
streaming down their cheeks.
When he finished they gave
Jaures the greatest ovation
of his life.
Such was Jaures. the
greatest French orator since
Mirabeau, and he stays in
the Pantheon whence Mira
beau was elected.
Jaures was a power in
France, but he was denied
the highest honors because
of his advanced views;
though the moment he died,
all France remembered him
merely as an ornament of
the race and paid him the
tribute of burial in the Pan
theon. In America we keep
on stoning the great men
with whom we disagree after
they are dead; and SANDER
ing them in history.
On the first floor of the
Pantheon, with it's rare
paintings, is an amazing
statuary group-one of the
most breathing statuary
groups I have ever seen. 1t
is composed of the figures
of Dan ut on, Robespiere,
Marat, Vergniaud, their
arms extended toward the
figure of liberty.
All these men had had
their heads cut off by France
to the jeering of a mob-all
but Marat, who was stabbed
in his tub by Charlotte
Corday.
Robespiere and Danton
had cut off the head Of
Vergniaud, and of the lead
ers of his party; and then
Robespiere had cut off the
head of Danton; and then
the friends of Danton had
cut off the head of Robe
sphere. None of these four
men trusted any of the
others. And at times France
trusted none.
