Breaking Women's Hearts.

From time immemorable men have
broken womens hearts.
Mary's heart was crushed at the
foot of the cross.
They tore the heart strings from
Joan dare on funeral pyre.
Magdalene's heart was stretched on
procrustean bed of torture.
Anne Boleyn laid her heart on the
altar Of love. knelt upon by Henry
VII, and later was beheaded.
They break the hearts of women
do men, for all kinds of reason and
unreason; men who hate women, men
who love women, men who know
women, men unbeknownst to women
whose hearts are trampled.
A kidnaper steals a baby and breaks
mothers heart.
Before curious onlookers in a court
Of law a prosecuting attorney dis
plays garments Of an absent babe
and a mother heart is stabbed on the
bar Of justice.
Mothers, from time immemorable,
have had their hearts broken-by the
waywardness Of sons, the carelessness
OF daughters, the thoughtlessness of
the world.
Pity the little women of broken
hearts! The ways to break them are
many. OF men to WELD the blows
there is never a dearth.

Congress Must Help.

Persistent activity by the police
against the numbers operators and
ether gamblers is bound to bring re-
suits. This activity is taking form in
continued raids against small estab-
lishments, arrest of suspects and their
appearance in the Police Court. With
every effort at jealous prosecution by
the assistant United States attorneys,
a percentage of these cases should be
made to stick"
What the police and the prosecutors
need, however, is the new gambling
law prepared by Corporation Counsel
Prettyman, aimed directly at the
numbers evil and facilitating the ar
rest and prosecution of the runners"
the liaison agents between the
gamblers and the racketeers. Several
members of Congress in both houses
have expressed their willingness to
press for early passage of the bill. The
necessity for such measure has been
demonstrated by the arrest Of gamblers
known to police, but who have been
released by the prosecutors because
no evidence could be produced that
would stand up in court under present
statutory definitions of gambling evi-
dence. 1t is important to drive the
numbers racket out of town because
of the underworld racket, with ex-
tensive ramifications, which thrives
upon it.
The police, provided they keep up
their renewed activity against gamblers
and harass suspects at every step, will
be doing their part to rid Washington
of an undesirable underworld element.
But as much responsibility rests with
the new Congress-possessing exclu-
sive legislative control over the Dis
trict-to see that the police and the
courts are equipped with the proper
laws. Early action on this matter is
demanded by condition that should
not be permitted unnecessarily to
continue.

pecting that the approach to this

1T has been apparent for some

that the several taxing agencies must

regarding what shall be taxed, what
branch Of Government shall tap a
given source, and what distribution
of tax income shall be made among
the several Government divisions if it
is concluded that more than one is
entitled to receive tax income from a
particular source, such as gasoline
sales for example. The situation has
become serious enough to call for
remedial action"
Thousands Of tiny taxing units,
jealous of their prerogatives. will stub

Telegram advises: Success of the
attempted reform will depend in large
measure on the cooperation of State

feel the pressure Of public opinion.

Speaker Byrns.

Joseph w. Byrns Of Tennessee be-
comes Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the forty-fourth man to
hold that high Office. Among his
predecessors have been some of the
country's most eminent men, great
presiding officers, great statesmen, men
OF great heart and high courage. Clay
of Kentucky, Polk of Tennessee, who
later became President Of the United
States; Colfax of Indiana, Blaine and
Reed of Maine, Cannon of Illinois,
Clark of Missouri, all will go down in
history. To that Office, regarded fire.
quently as second in importance to
that of President, Speaker Byrns
brings high qualifications. He has the
ability to see clearly and to lead. He
has demonstrated his courage again
and again in his long career in the
House.
The new Speaker takes the chair
at time of tremendous interest to
the American people. Legislation of
great importance is to come up for
consideration. The people, through
their Representatives, must make up
their minds in which direction they
and their Government are to travel.
They must decide among other things
whether the Government or the peo-
pie is to be supreme. Minorities are
clamoring for recognition. Various
groups are making demands for leg
islation in their own interest rather
than in the interest of the people at
large.
Mr.. Byrns looks out upon a House
which is overwhelmingly of his own
political party. 1t is his duty to see
that the rights of the minority are
protected as we'll as that the majority
shall rule. The Republican minority.
slender as it is, still represents a very
large group of American citizens,
much larger than the G. o. P.'s pres
ent representation in the halls of
Congress would indicate.
One Of the first acts of the House
after the election of Mr. Byrns to the
speakership has been an amendment
to the rules which prevents 145 men,
bers, one-third the membership of the
House, from forcing a vote on whether
q measure shall be taken up for con-
sideration. Under the amended rules
a majority of the House, 218 when
there are no vacancies, must sign a
petition to discharge a committee
from further consideration of a bill
and to bring it before the House. The
change has been designated gag"
rule. The supporters of the change,
however, may well ask why the House
should be compelled to vote on a
measure to which a majority of the
members were unwilling to give their
assent through petition.
Speaker Byrns has big task ahead.
The country will wish him well in its
fulnllment.
