The Washington times., 1934-08-13


night last winter. We talking brightly
of many thngs-hat is he had been talking about the
Advantages of Life in the Weswhen the ices arrived By
this time the Distinguished Visitor should have
moved his finger bowl and dolly from the dessert plate
Not he poor lamb He had set aside the finger bowl only
And when he took large piece of raspberry ice he placed
it firmly the lace dolly Immediately he discovered his
crime. And moaned horribly 'What must do"
"Slde it out and put it in the finger bowl so the rap-
berry will wash off, whispered. He did this And so
the floating dolly Imply and pnky reproached us during
the half hour we remained at the table,
The Ambassadors wife had had fingerbowl dolly expert
ence too. Here tragic one She was the hostess at
the party The Senator on her was on ns dCEn
Brussels lace-he ate with the The Ambassadors
wife watched disappear down the oratorlca throat and SAID
nothing. But her thoughts!
the danger to the Senator's digestion that troubled
her 1t the disappearance Of dolly from her very
choicest set.
The wife of prominent Senator from the Middle West
was in the round table group She too had watched lace
go down masticaon with pudding Did she say to the
visiting fireman from her home town. please please sir do
not eat my table lnen''9
She could not so offend him. He was powerful constu-
and election day She merely smiled and said
nothing.
All, me-the agonies endured by good helpmeet.
Thomas Jefferson Clubs being organized by Democrats
throughout the country hear Sort of mild protest against
the ecadence of dear old States rights under the New Deal
This suggested to amiable political friend of mine
story told by that handsome and undoubtedly prOm
ing young Congressman Chester C. Bolton of Cleveland
Mr. Bolton also chairman Of the Republican congressional
cOmmee-a mighty committee these days.
He himself has big fortune Perhaps his bank balance
will shrink little when he has paid Of his committees
bills Likewise he is member of the House Appropriations
Committee
Toward the end of the last session of Congress his commit
tee found in of the appropriation bills $OOOOOO for
fine highway from somewhere other maybe Charlotte
vile to Montcello).
This item carried in the bill at the instance Of Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia Mr. Bolton says that his committee
revolted at that item, Notwithstanding its distinguished
patronage but before striking it out, decided to send for
Senator Glass and let him explain it.
When the Senator appeared the committee chairman
minded him that this appropriation seemed to be most in
appropriate mainly because the proposed highway would
lead piece of private property and not to Government
reservation Property moreover which the public must pay
fee basis to enter The Senator asked if he really
felt the appropriation should be made
A you gentlemen say about that appropriation is quite
true MIR. Bolton quoted the Senator saying. But the
fact Jefferson and Jeersonian doctrine have been
forgotten And thought if could embalm his in
act of Congress- might be reminder to few people that
such once lived"
Senator Glass have said of that appropriation what
the late Senator Ben Tlman, of South Carolina, said
when a somewhat similar appropriation for his State
pending. This generous for the Navy Yard at
Charleston yard that the Navy did not need want
yard which congressional committees all agreed just
much ef for Charleston and yard which seemed about to
be doomed when Timan crashed into the situation.
Il know what you all think of the Charleston Navy Yard
said the South Caronian II know what myself think OF
it necessary adjunct to the Navy But the fact that you
Fasteners and Westeners sang the United States
Treasury for your pet projects And would have know
that if there loog of the Treasury propose to
to that South Carolina has her share of the loot
Mercy-Nobody loots under the New Deal!
