Roosevelt and the Speakership.

For the smooth running Of the Gov
ernment the Speaker Of the House must
be in full accord with the President.
President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt
therefore, has big stake in the selec-
ton of the next Speaker. His hands
are tied in this matter If he should
permit his name and influence to be
used in support of one of the three or
four candidates, or any OF the potential
candidates whose hats have been for
mally tossed in the ring, the fat would
be in the fire. The other candidates,
prominent members Of their party in
the House, would never feel quite the
same toward the President-elect there

Roosevelt had looked with favor on the

caused a demand on the part Of the
friends of others for immediate denial.
There followed statements from the
President-elect that he was keeping
his hands off in the speakership fight.
1t was either that or a declaration in
favor of one Of the candidates, which
Just did not fit into the picture.
Probably no President or President
elect could find a way to arouse more
fury among the members Of Congress
than by an attempt to dictate to them
their selection of Speaker. 1t is true
that q Chief Executive might, II he saw
fit, say good word in private for a
candidate for Speaker. He would be
taking long chances. however. For even
walls have ears under such circum-
stances.
Mr.. Roosevelt, it seems, will have
TO be content with the decision Of the
House itself in regard to q Speaker.
Nor does it appear that Speaker John
N. Garner, though he may be more
friendly to one Of the candidates than
to another. is in position to add
greatly to the strength Of that candi-

BY 1892 enough Of the church had been
completed to be consecrated. But the
construction went on through the
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth CEN
turtles. Eventually the building took on
the aspect Of a Bible in stone, which 1t
now wears. Massive RomanesQue and
increasingly elaborate forms Of Gothic
design were successfully introduced un-
til the fabric became q veritable history

GRAFTON made its own gift of art and

like carefully nurtured and guarded
rose.
But nature struck again and again at
the lovely house of prayer. In 11S5
the country was shaken by a tremor OF
the earth. and the structure was cleft
from top to bottom" In l547 the spire
Of the central tower, one of the loftiest
in Europe, was blown down. There
were fires on several occasions. And
remorselessly, year by year, the weather
took tribute of the decorated stone
BY 1921 the west wall was retreating
at the rate of an inch in every sixteen
days. The northwest tower was totter-
ing. The work Of repairing these faults
was exceedingly dangerous, yet the
restoration was carried out without the
loss of single life. The Cathedral is
sound and safe for at least another
hundred years.
Lincoln Cathedral is one Of the
memories which American travellers
bring home from abroad. 1t is remem-
bered for its time-stained but still
bright towers and pinnacles, its soaring
walls, its broad and intricately embel-
iiShed west front and, especially for
its "angel choir" one of the loveliest
of human works. 1t is recalled for

speaking frontiers of the earth draw

it has been maintained and restored.
The Cathedral is proof of the con-
tinuity of thought-a thought of love
and gratitude, of confidence and sacri-

Progress in Appropriations.

The House can pause from its labors
today and Monday with the comforting
knowledge Of having earned rest.
When it adjourned for the holiday last
night it had completed consideration Of
and sent to the Senate three big appro-
priation bills and had received from its
Appropriations Committee q fourth.
Had the House been in session today
it would probably have been able to
pass this fourth measure-the urgent
deficiency bill. AS 1t is, the House will
start the new year ahead of its record
last year
If the deficiency bill. reported yester-
day, can be construed as passed, the
House has approved appropriations to-
falling s1,136, 100000. The same bills
last year called for expenditures Of
81, 1,654 900 900. This shows a reduction,
in appropriation bills SO far consid
cred, Of S5l8,0OO,0OO. OF that amount,
according to an Associated Press analy-
sis, the House is directly responsible Tor
a cut Of S56, 1000, 900. The balance OF the
savings was recommended by the Bu-
reau of the Budget, and the House this
year is allowing no opportunities for re-
duction to slip by. Last year, of course,
with a national election in prospect, 1t
was q different matter.
The Department OF Agriculture bill
accounted for the greatest single saving
yet shown. Last year the House ap-
proved $222,0OO,000 for highway funds,
this item representing one of the So
called employment-producing schemes.
But this year the highway fund was cut
to s35,OOO,OOO. The total cut shown in
the agricultural bill was approximately
s2O6, 1000.
The bills so far disposed OF are Post
Office, Treasury, Interior, Agriculture,
with the first deficiency bill reported
Those remaining are the District ap-
preparation bill and the appropriation
bill for State, Justice, Commerce ana
Labor, handled as one; legislative ap-
preparation bill: Navy bill, Army bill.
independent Offices and, probably, a
second deficiency bill.
A subcommittee of the Senate Appro-
priatiops Committee has held ex-
tensive hearings and executive sessions
since before the convening of Congress,
devoting it's attention to what policy 1t
will recommend for continuance or
changes in the economy act. The
members Of the subcommittee have
been unusually secretive, and there has
been no definite statement from any of
them to indicate what this policy will
be. Whatever 1t is will probably be
revealed the middle of next week when
the Senate receives from its Appropria-
tions Committee the first of the appro-
priation bills, for the Treasury and
Post Office. This bill is expected to
show whether the Senate, like the
House, is satisfied to continue the chief
provisions of the economy act or
whether the section relating to the
eight third enforced furlough. or
pay cut, will be amended. If it is
amended, there may be an additional
pay cut, which, in theory at least, will
be offset by modification of other econ
omy act restrictions, such as the ban
on promotions. The sooner this part
of economy policy Is decided the better.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

1882.
They show you as an aged man
With beard as white as snow,
Who solemnly pursues the plan
That dignity should show.
The New Year Is smiling elf
Whom We perceive with pride.
His right, We say, to please himself
BY none may be denied.
I would reverse these pictures old;
This year called 49,
Should learn py what the past has told
And prove from folly free.
Alas! Unruly "32,"
You brought such doubt and dread,
You should, as your unquestioned due,
Be spanked and sent to bed.

Good-By 1892!

The bells OF mldnlgnC Will rlng out
a year which to many has been replete
with loss and sorrow, a year OF stress
and strain, OF hardship and suffering.
A backward glance over the history OF
the twelve months of 1882 suggests the
thought that possibly the best thing
about them is that they are gone.
The central fact of the period was
the worldwide depression, touching
practically every home in both hemi-
spheres. Resulting from war, reyolu-
ton, economic rivalry and panic, the
slump brought distress to millions. 1t
Is good to know that the emergency
produced at least one constructive
value-the open-handed charity OF
those less grievously affected by its
stringency.
War debt problems engaged the at
tention Of statesmen in both Europe
and the United States, and the high
spot of the debate was President Hoo
ver's suggestion of an adjustment predi-
Gated on reduction Of armaments.
The collapse of the Kreuger and In
sull empires of industry brought pyra-
mided speculation into new disrepute
and focused international thought upon
the mistaken policy Of unjustif1ed ex-
pansion.
The national election which resulted
in the choice of Franklin D. Roosevelt
implied a psychological change In the
electorate, since it signified dissatisfac-
ton with conservative Republican con-
cepts of government and approval OF
progressive Democratic ideals.
The most evident effect Of the elec-
tion apart from changes in the person.
mel of government was the unmistakable
demand of the people for the abandon
ment of prohibition through repeal of
the eighteenth amendment.
The Olympic games at Lake Placid
and Los Angeles centered the interest
OF followers Of sport on the competitive
efforts of upward of forty nations and
furnished an attractive spectacle for
hundreds of thousands who ordinarily
take no notice OF such contests.
Mrs Amelia Earhart Putnam flew the
Atlantic, from Harbor Grace TO Lon
donderry, and claimed the honor OF
being the first woman to make the trip
alone. Capt. J. A. Mollison accom-
plished the difficult westward crossing,
from Dublin to New Brunswick
The kidnapping and murder Of the
infant son of Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh
March ! furnished the most poignant
domestic tragedy In the annals OF the
American people, surprising in It's
pathetic qualities every other story OF
personal affliction known to public rec
ord in the United States.
There were countless events OF minor
importance which came and went in
the pages of the press Humanity
struggled on, sometimes blindly, some
times with both vision and courage. II
nothing more may be said, 1t at least Is
worthy of mention that, like the French
nobleman who found satisfaction in
having outhved the great Revolution, it
has survived. Perhaps its power to
survive Is the races best manifestation
of it's power to overcome Its difficulties.
For things evil and things good, then,
1882 will be remembered. With the
midnight bells ringing, tomorrow is not
only q new day, but also a new year
and a new series of opportunities. The
past is dead Long live the future!
