YOUR GOVERNMENT
(By Stephen M. Young)
Congressman-at-large

Flowers grow both sides of the
party wall. There are many true
friendships formed in congress be-
tween Republicans and Democrats.
For example, Vice President Garner
and the late Speaker LQngworth
were the closest of friends.
In the present house CT represen-
tatives there are many splendid men
Of outstanding ability. Representa-
tive James M. Beck of Pennsylvania
is a great constitutional lawyer.
Representative James W. Wads-
worth, jr., of New York is a former
United States senator, and one of
the eountry's best known Republic
cans, and Representative Bertrand
III. Smell of New York, the Republi-
can leader in congress, is a man of
great force. Keep your eyes on
Wadsworth. He is likely to be the
Republican presidential candidate in
1886. Mr. Hoover is out.
While the economy bill was being
debated and just before the vote
was taken, congressman could be
pardoned if he likened himself to
a gladiator making Roman hoIi-
day and having 81, who am about
to die, salute you" feeling. One con-
OF 1orn
against the economy bill He voted
present" He evidently vacillated
between voting Eyes" and serving
his country and voting mo" and
saving his seat in congress. Doubt
less he has heard from plenty of
constituents. It is safe to say his
congressional seat is now little too
warm for comfort.
The United States will recognize
soviet Russia. Phil LaFollette of
Wisconsin may be the American
ambassador. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt has picked a number of
for important posts.
Why not LaFollette? There are
three Republicans in the presidents
cabinet. They are all right. 1t is
not unlikely that the new attorney
general will be a Republican. Per-
sonally, l think former United
States Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri would be an ideal selection
for attorney general. Bear him in
mind. He is likely to succeed the
late Senator Thomas j. Walsh who
died on the day before he would
have taken the oath as attorney
general.
Secretary Of the Treasury Woodin
is Republican. His appointment
was not approved by Wall Street
nor international bankers. Also
some Democrats objected. They
wanted to know who won the cleo
ton anyhow. The facts are the Re-
publican party lost the election.
Progressive Independent Republi-
cans turned the trick. Keep your
eye on Woodin. He is going to be
regarded as a great man.
Restoring purchasing power to
the farmers is, by all odds, the
most important task before this
congress. Big business has been
favored. Agriculture has been neg
lected. The domestic-allotment
plan will receive a lot Of considera-
ton. This plan, if enacted into law,
will bring into the pockets Of our
farmers nearly a thousand million |
dollars each year. Huey Long talks
about redistributing our national
wealth. This law would increase it.

Speed Trials and Penalties

Speed in the prosecution Of the men
who were taken last week in connection
with the shooting Of two paymasters,
one of them fatally, is assured by the
district attorney. This case is to be
presented to the grand jury at once
and indictments are virtually certain to
be returned in view Of the fact that
confessions have been obtained from
most of the members of the gang
Their trial should follow as quickly as
possible, and If convictions are had,
which seems likely, sentences should be
executed with the least delay.
In the same way the process OF in
dictment and trial should be expedited
In the case of the man captured yes
terday shortly after the killing of a
mathematician, indeed, even before
the body of the victim had been dis
covered. This case, it would seem,
offers little chance for delay If the cir
cuunstances are as now reported.
tn |surest way to check the current

flowing strongly and steadily for many
months, is to bring to immediate trial
and send to prompt punishment those
who are caught and are known to be
guilty. The long protraction Of the
process Of justice Is an encouragement
to crime. The swift administration Of
the penalties warranted by the law Is .
deterrent.
When the facts are as plain as IL
these recent cases the blockade of jus
tice by ingenious pleas and procrastina-
tions permitted by the rules of procedure
makes q travesty Of the law. It Is the
reverse Of justice to allow technicalities
to obscure the vital issues Of fact and
to protract the process Of determining
guilt or innocence. It Is an incitation
to demoralizing and criminal enterprise
to permit evidently guilty defendants,
through their counsel, to confuse the
question by hair-splitting and delay.
The present rules of the courts give
an undue advantage to the robber and
murderer, caught Iedhanded or taken
in circumstances definitely to indicate
guilt. They should be modified. To do
so may require legislation, to secure
which may be protracted process. But
meanwhile the courts themselves may

peal, 60 far toward that expedition

appeared in the eighteenth, not the
nineteenth century. The Victorian era
agitated him excessively. The ancient
regime" would have been q better tar
get for the arrows of his sarcasm.
But Moore is not undeserving Of
praise. He was entirely sincere, and
from first to last was militantly faithful
to his task of unshackling the mind Of
the British middle classes-the assign
ment he gave himself In his youth. He
was courageous, too, in his struggle
with the conventions-and there can
be no doubt about his need for q stout
heart as we'll as an agile mind in the
circumstances. Finally, he was con-
scious artist, thoroughly honest, utterly
devoted, in his effort to use the Eng
lish tongue creatively, artistically. No
man of his time had greater success
in that respect. His style is positively
magnetic. He draws with words as
Durer drew with pencil. That, surely,
is one of the reasons ue1y his influence
has been so widely effective.
Moore will not be forgotten. Dis
trust his thought, as people may, he will
survive for the genius which he mani
tested in his manner of writing, II for
that alone His labor was not wasted;
he did not live in vain.

Amended Farm Aid Measure
Appraised as Experimental

tariff should be made effective for farm
products" the MINNEAPOLIS Journal
comments: The addition of butter fat
and rice and the tentative addition of
peanuts illustrates the tendency of
congress, in order to meet the demands
OF various farm interests, to make the
measure too top-heavy. The original
!dea was to test out the plan by apply
ing 1t to wheat, tobacco, cotton and
hogs only. If it worked, other farm
products could be brought in. But,
naturally, their raiSers want in now,
They don't see how they can wait"
The experimental nature of the bill is
attested by the Newark Evening News.
while the Cleveland News states: If
the domestic allotment bill, which has
seemed the best remedy in the emerg-
ency Tor farm ills, is to be saved
and made workable non-essentials must
De stripped from it and any move to
add more amendments to it must be
stopped" The Dayton Daily News holds
that ION its face it looks like the most
stupendous pork barrel in ancient or
modern history" The Indianapolis
News finds doubts of its worthiness or
the chances of making it eouitably
workable" The youngstown Vindicator
calls it merely gesture to make the
farmer believe something is being done
for him." and the Abilene Reporter saws
as to cotton that it might DESTROY the
export market" The Rockford Register
Republic sees in it ''just another noble
experiment The Appleton POST
Crescent declares: The main idea to
keep in mind is that the allotment bill
was created for the benefit of the
farmer and not, in turn, to create a
h1lr yol,
but consume large share of the income
created by the measure. If we are not
careful by the time the funds get to the
farmer there won't be enough left to
feed a calf"
If the lame duck session." according
to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram,

the country controversially entertained
during the next so days we presume
the allotment value plan will do as
well as any other, but when the Demo-
cratic party assumes control of the
administrative and legislative branches
OF the Government there will be a de-
mand for Simon-pure Democratic prin-
cipleS which will give the country the
sales tax" The Birmingham News
believes that business can scarcely be
revived by taking money out of one
account ana putting 1t into another"
The Greenville Is. c. Daily News
charges that this scheme is thoroughly
rotten while the Asheville Times calls
it "grotesque legislation" The Seattle
Times concludes: las q matter of
broad national policy, assistance of
ready money crop producers may be
jlStifiable, but the country's experience
in various lines strongly supports the
conclusion that their difficulties have
been prolonged by the very agencies
Congress erected with the view to help
ing them"
The constitutional question is raised
by the New York Sun, which points out
that Congress Is authorized to lay taxes
for "the general welfare" This point
also appeals to the Butte Montana
Standard, the Newport News Press, the
Lincoln State Journal and the Boise
Idaho Statesman.

Obviously, there may be two views of
the work of George Moore, the Irish
novelist and critic, who died. at eighty,
on Saturday last. Those who admire
stark exposition of the troubles and
difficulties of human existence, penned
in vigorous language, will think of him
as q competent successor to Voltaire,
Nietzsche and Zola, a prober of life,
an historian Of the foibles Of mankind.
Those who prefer less pessimistic at
titude, who feel that the world really is
not such dreadful place, and that men
and women really are not such fools
and knaves as he thought, will deplore
his deficiency Of compassion and re-
member him as an artist whose gifts

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Recently We paid our compliments

Today is the time to consider thei,
product, the well known honey.
For one, we don't like II.
Those who do can have our share.
Let no irate producer rush forward to
lament the decline Of taste. The shoes
don't fit him.
Food and taste Is something no one
can dictate. however dictatorial his dis
position may be.
One person likes one thing, another
prefers another thing.
This Is 30 universally recognized that
centuries ago there arose q popular
proverb, that zone mans meat Is an
other mans poison"
Honey does not irritate our individual
tummy in the least; we Just do not like
the taste Of the stuff.
They say, too, there is no accounting
for taste.
Some people actually like spinach.
Think of that!
How any human being could honestly
like this green mass Is beyond him to
whom the very sight Of the stun Is
poison.
Few persons there are who have not

resolve In regard to spinach.

or six
The very sight Of spinach in a bowl
Is enough to bring on an entire series
Of grimaces.
There Is . word in the dictionary
which was invented, one may feel sure,
for the specific purpose Of describing
spinach.
"Flaccid" is the adjective, from the
Latin naccs. naccidus. meaning
flabby.
Listen to this neat description Of
spinach, as commonly served:
Hanging loose or wrinkled; limp,
flaboy; relaxed. dropping: wanting

variety.
Honey possesses, too, an interest to
the flower lover, since it comes com

Its amber tones, backgrounded
against a plate, are compelling, but
whether they in any whit are superior
in this respect to good maple sirup is
question for connoisseurs.

High Garage Rents Cause
Of Parking in Streets

Az tuc VI Inc Star.
Who are all these people who are
incessantly criticizing all-night parking
on the streets of Washington? True,
they have all signed their names to
their correspondence. but that does not
distinguish them among quarter
million inhabitants In SO far as their
right to criticize is concerned.
1t appears to many Of us car owners
that such critics are among the
blessed few who are not rendered ex-
tremely economical by severe and
serious reductions in their salaries or,
as In vast number Of cases, complete
lack of any income whatsoever, due to
unemployment. For those able to afford
the high garage rents or having garages
of their own, there is little excuse, but
for those in other circumstances, the
privilege of parking their own cars In
front of their own homes constitutes
great saving, at the present exorbi-
tant garage rents. It would seem the
owners are selling their garages, judg-
ing from the rentals charged.
Washington Is exempted from the
category Of "one-horse towns" such as
one critic IS probably accustomed
TO- in the construction Of streets Of
sufficient widths to permit such park
ing as Is allowed at night, and also IN
the leniency and freedom extended to
her motortst citizens In their choice of
weathering their own cars at the curb
in front of their own homes or buying"
garage for its protection, If they are
able to. In the first place, however,
garage facilities are insufficient for the
needs, which although to be lamented,
is matter of private concern, the
parking resulting from which cannot be
charged to the ordinances of our fair
city.
Moreover. personally contradict the
critic who speaks Of "old wrecks lined
up 6 far as one can see," and venture
to stats .hat the cars to be seen parked
include d. many good cars as one can
find In garages, here or elsewhere, and
the array Is not unsightly.
