sal the purpose of which is to
emancipate Senators from the
bondage of special interests and
enable them to devote their
best thought and effort to the
work of the Senate.
This proposal comes before
the Senate with the unanimous
support of its Committee on
the Judiciary. 1t is a proposal
to strengthen by amendment
Section 113 of the Criminal
Code which prohibits a mem
Der of Congress from appearing
for a fee or receiving considera-
ton of compensation for his
appearance before any depart
ment to aid any person, asso-
citation, or corporation in any
matter in which the United
States Government is inter-
eSted.
RESTRICTIONS
The Judiciary Committee pro-
poses to extend this prohibition
to include national committee
men, the chairmen of State
committees, and the officers of
the national committees, and to
bar them also from appearing
before the departments as the
hirelings of any clai m mt
against the Government.
The Judiciary Committee
goes further in it's recommended
ton for strengthening this Sec
ton of the criminal code. The
committees bill, recently re-
ported to the Senate by Sena-
tor Logan of Kentucky, provides
that Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress shall not prac-
tice before any of the various
Federal agencies, commissions
and corporations in which the
Government owns capital stock,
either for compensation or with
out compensation.
In making these recommends
lions to the Senate the Judici-
airy Committee very wisely fol-
lowed the Interpretation given
this section of the criminal
code by the Supreme Court of
the United States in a famous
case that involved a Senator of
the United States.

So far as housekeeping is con-
cerned, he still believes in fairy
tales. He is secretly convinced
that if you just used system"
you could make the house keep
itself clean, the clock wash its
own face, the laundry count it.
self, and the dishes take hot
plunge every morning.
Besides, he has other strange
obsessions. He believes that
floors were made to be walked
on, instead of just to be POL
ISHED, and stepped over. And
that divan was made to re-
cline on instead of to be adj
mired. And he regards any
piece of furniture, from a
mahogany grand piano to a
Ming vase, as a parking place
for smoldering cigarette stubs.
He has the odd notion that
a dining room is a place to
dine in. And he doesn't see
why he should be shunted to
the kitchen just because the
dinner table is being refinished
or the floor has been freshly
vanished.
No matter how many years
he has been through it. it is
always a bitter blow to him
to come home looking for a
nice, quiet, restful evening and
find the Little Woman down
in the laundry dyeing curtains.

Once Overs
Husbands Seek Amusement

xAuSUdAAUS OCCh 1A1AAuSCAuCAlC
Some married men seek
amusement and entertainment
outside their homes because
their wives object so strongly
to home entertaining.
Cliques of men usually have
some favorite program when
they meet.
If they cannot be afforded
something along the line Of
their desires they are displeased
with what the host offers in its
place.
At least they are not as
pleased as a host would desire.
Every man entertained wants
to return in kind, if he can.
If he can't do it in his home,
he will take his friends where
they may feel at ease and have
the sort of program they like.
This adds to the cost of enter
tainment and in most instances
is not as satisfactory as 1t
would be in the home.
It is to be expected that a
crowd of men engaged in card
playing or in other forms of
recreation will drop ashes on
the rugs and otherwise disturb
the immaculate appearance Of
the rooms.
The house may need a good
airing after such a gathering,
but what Of It?

Or out in the garage, painting
the porch furniture. Or up on
a ladder washing mirrors. And
when he is greeted with the
glad news that "dinner-isn't-
ready-but-you -find-something-

last drop of gall and worm

If it could only end THERE!
But it never does. Houseclean-

When he goes to look for his
house-coat and slippers, he dis
covers that all his clothes have
been removed to the guest-room,
while his closet is being de-

to sleep on the hall couch or
be asphyXiated along with the
moths.
After a week or so of living
amidst the fragrance of clean
ing fluids, diSinfectants and
paint, getting his barefoot stuck
on fresh varnish and keeping
his collars and brushes on the
shelf in the bathroom, he begins
to wish he had married some
wild woman from Greenwich
Village with an art" complex,

lawyers wish to look 1t up. A
United States Senator had acted
as attorney for compensation
on behalf of a certain corpora
ton which had violated the
postal laws. In that case the
Supreme Court of the United
States held as follows:
THAT the proper discharge OF
legislative duties does not re-
quire a Senator to appear be-
fore an executive department in
order to enforce his particular
views, or the views of others, in
respect of matters committed to
that department for determine
ton. He may often do so with
out improperly, and so far as
existing law is concerned, may
do so whenever he chooses pro-
vided he neither agrees to re-
ceive nor receives compensation
for such services.
Congress, when passing this
statute knew, as indeed every
body may know that executive
officers are apt. and not I'M
naturally, to attach great, some
times, perhaps, undue weight to
the wishes of Senators and Rep
reSentativeS.
Evidently the statute has
for it's main object to secure
the integrity of executive action
against undue influence upon
the part of members of that
branch Of the Government whose
official action it is sought to
control or direct.
"The evils attending such a
situation are apparent and are
increased when those seeking to
influence executive officers are
spurred to action by hopes of
pecuniary reward"
WHAT is NEEDED
The Judiciary Committee in
its report points out quite prop
erly that the evil pointed out by
the Supreme Court in the Bur
ton case regarding the practice
of members of Congress before
governmental agencies for fees
are not less when members of
national or State political COM
mittees appear before such
agencies in behalf of clients.
Experience proves, as it's Jul
dietary Committee has the cour-
age to tell the Senate, that
when members of Congress ap-
pear directly or indirectly for
someone having a controversy
with the United States before
a Government agency the evil
exists whether a member of
Congress makes his appearance
for a fee or gratuitously." On
that account the committees
bill amends the criminal code so
as to prohibit all such appear
'anceS.
Senator Logan, who was chief
JUOUACC VI 4l1S OUdUC, UC1OIG CCI1l-
ing to the Senate made an
eloquent plea on behalf of this
bill. Several Senators, however,
objected to it's passage.
All that is needed to answer
these objections and put the
bill through the Senate is a
short speech by Senator Norris
of Nebraska or Senator Glass
of Virginia.
Both of these Senators share
with Senator Logan the distinc-
ton of never having stopped to
run errands around the execu-
tive departments for special
interests. They are Senators
of the United States who
eXemplify the qualifications for
the Senate so eloquently enum-
Grated by Daniel Webster.

Between the crosses, row,
That mark place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and we lie

The torch be yours to hold it high.

We shall not sleep, though peoples grow

EIGHT CHAMPIONS
CROWNED FOR 1885
BOWLING SEASON.
New Britain Rogers Missed
Great Chance - Miller
Tied for All-EventS

Bridgeport and Hartford duck
pin bowlers, both men and women
dominated the 1896 state cham
pionship meet held at the Genlot
alleys for the past II days, COM
ing to conclusion last night be-
fore a capacity crowd that wanted
to see the 1913 team total of the
Bridgeport Hollands broken, but
were doomed to disappointment.
Eight champions were crowned
during the meet including team,
doubles, singles and all-eyents
leaders in both male and female
divisions, with the alleys owners,
Bernie .Mohill, Sol Annenberg and
Bob White expressing themselves
as well pleased with the results
and general conduct of the toruna-
ment.
Jerry On the Job
One of the outstanding accomp-
lishments of the meet of local in
terest was the all-events scored
by Jerry Miller, Watertown's. gift
to the pin world, whose 1884 tied
Mac Carboni of New Haven and
AL Miller of Danbury. The doubles
count of AL Carangelo and Otto
Okla of Hartford, SIS was also a
sensational score and new tourney
record, while Mike Marinko's 44O
in the singles, topped any scor-
ing of that kind in seven years OF
Connecticut competition. New. Ha-
ven Elks, with two national cham
pions on its list, Jack White and
Johnny Bianchi, U. s. sweepstakes
and singles kings this year, were
unable to approach the team total
of 1913 shooting 1890, Bianchi's
rolling being little weak through
out the three games.
Girls show Well
Jane Mackie of the Schaefer
Hartford team hit 1913 to take girls
singles honors while Catherine
Kirk and Alice D'Lugo of Bridge
port rolled an even 700 for the
female doubles title. Anna Cassaz-
"a of Hartford with 1868 was all
events leader while Rose Quinn
and Bill Dente divided mixed
doubles honors with Tony Ianna-
rome and Alice DLugo at 1877 pins.

beat the 1913 winning score but
missed two spare leaves in the
final frames winding up with
