Among the 435 members Of the
House, there are several Represen-

Two members were secretaries to

They are Representative Fritz

Harry L. Englebright R0 OF

NEVER AGAIN

While controversy RACES over
the drafting of the District Of Co
lumbia appropriations bill by Rep.
resentative Thomas L. Blanton
CD, of Texas, and his colleagues,
there is recalled to the minds Of
some of the old-timerS In the
House the fact that at one time
a clerk to the committee per
formed a little money work him
self.
It was in the days when Repre-.
sentative Robert Simmons (R0 OF
Nebraska, was chairman Of the
subcommittee.
A clerk to the District subcom-
mittee decided that there was in
sufficient money in the bill to pay
certain police officers in Wash.
ington the salaries he believed
they should receive.
Without consulting members OF
the subcommittee, the clerk who
had charge of compiling the sup
ply bill wrote the necessary money
provisions.
Simmons noticed the change,
ragged and threatened to have the
clerk discharged.
Friends Of the young man, how
ever, prevailed on Simmons to fer
get his grievance and the clerk
remained with the committee.
It was the last time on record
however, that a clerk tried to
write an appropriation bill as he
believed it should be written.

ton Of his views into all debates
and discussions has caused his
colleagues to resort to many
tactics to stifle him. Each method
has been futile and other men,
bers have gone so far as to try
to persuade him to "take a vaca-
tion" but Zioncheck prefers to re-
main on the job.
His repeated points OF order
and parliamentary inquiries have
given Speaker Byrns considerable
trouble this session.
Not so long ago Byrns overruled
one of Zioncheck's many objections
to procedure.
Later in the day the member
from Washington cornered ByrnS
in the Speakers lobby and began
to argue.
The Speaker quietly nodded as
sent to each of zioncheck's state
mentS. When he departed, other
members Of the House asked the
Speaker:
'How is it that you Overruled
him on the floor and agreed with
him out in the IObby?"
Byrns smiled, and responded:
"Tn there he cannot argue with
me. But he can argue out here!"

of the living dead-Molokai. How
that name had seemed to glow
once, touched with the radiance
of Gods own benediction! How
his heart had leaped to the sound
of it-swelled to the pride OF it!
That he, Father Damien, an OBJ
Scure Belgian priest, little more
than an ignorant peasant boy,
should have heard his Fathers
call-6hould have been chosen for
this noblest and most pitiful mis-
Sion-wonderful!
For on all earth there was no
such hell of disease or despair as
this leper island. And now, in the
full, first fire of his manhood, he
was to go to it-become one with
these blasted liveS-cleanSe and
comfort-bring order and peace!
Surely no man was ever more hon
ored or blessed than he, in such
q calling. No wonder his young
body tingled with eagerness, his
young throat trembled with CRATE
full song!
FATHER DAMIEN
But now-noW? What had be-

light? 1t was so long now since
weary flesh and sluggish nerves
had Hurned with pride or eager
ness. Oh, yes; he had served. He
had run the course and kept the

But somewhere, somehow, some
thing had gone wrong. For
though he had waited, the miracle
had never come-the blessed mir
acle which should truly make him

ural even that his clean flesh
should shrink in horror from their
nightmare foulness. But presently
this would pass. Presently, out
of this service there would come
that overwhelming passion Of pity
and devotion which would COM
pensate for all he had sacrificed
would weld them together. And
he would know the meaning OF
love as it was given to few NOR
tails ever to know it-catch, per
haps, a glimpse of that wonder
which sustained the dying Christ,
the martyred Peter.
But the miracle had not come!
In spite of all his service. his
struggle and sacrifice he was
still apart. Eleven years, yet still
the glory was denied him!- Where
had he failed? What more must
he do? Dumbly his mind fumbled
for understanding.
KNEW PAIN
Outside his cell, life glimmered
and glittered and sang. Trees
sWayed with a veil of perfumed
petals. The surf swept its soft,
whispering chant along the beach.
Even the dreadful leperS mum
bled smiling greetings. Only poor
Father Damien stood apart, alone.
Sadly he wrung his handS-thoSe
patient, peasant hands SCARED
with such faithful service lifted
one palm to shield his tired
eyes
Then-stopped.
Stopped, utterly still. Felt his
eyes set, rigid as lead, within the
staring lids. Heard his pulse thud
like some slow pendulum across
the heavy silence of the room
Then, after a long while,
breathed again. Moved softly
across the floor, seeming, once, to
stumble a little. Took out his
veStments-for it was time for
Mass. Changed, and walked
through the door into the simple
church where the maSSed eyes
stared curiously.
But thiS-this was not Father
Damien! This bent, shrunken,
suddenly aged man was not the
vigorous, proud bodied priest!
Something had happened-some-
thing they must know.
Nor had they long to wait. 81

for that long instant he clung to
his God for strengthening. And
then he turned and faced them,
smiling. AS never they had seen
him smile before. And spoke just
two short words:
eve leperS!"
Sunshine outside. Bird song and
fragrant flower and whispering
surf. And in that little church,
men sobbing out their pain to one
who now-through this last, awful
price-had bought the right to
know what such pain meant.

They need not go through it al
alone any more. Nor he! At last
they all were one.

last words to the Anglican chap
lain who attended her we're:
"PatriOtism Is not enough"
The American Ambassador to
Belgium, Brand Whitlock, moved
heaven and earth to save her life.
But on the eve Of the execution
he was grievously i'll. In his place,
Hugh Gibson, then first secretary
of the embassy, made a last, des-
perate appeal. He broke in upon
the dinner Of the Spanish Am
bassador, the Marquis de Villalo-
bar, and implored him to go with
him to the Germans and beg for
the life of the EngliShwoman.
They hastened to Baron Won der
Lancken, then director of political
affairs in the occupied Belgian ter
ritory. The marquis said to Won
der Lancken:
Miss CaveII may have sent
hundreds Of men to the front by
means Of her ambulance, but If
you kill her she will send mil
lions against you from her
tomb"
Won der Lancken shrugged his
shoulders. He did not think the
execution would be immediate al.
though the two others insisted it
was to take place in the morning.
The baron told them that General
Won SauberWeig, the acting gov
ernor was intent on the execution.
The marquis urged him to tele-
phone to the Kaiser at field head
quarters. The German, amazed at
such a proposal, exclaimed:
''But one can't telephone the
Emperor"
INDIGNATION
In his diary, the marquis init
mates that Won der Lancken
wished that he had taken the
matter up with the Emperor, for
the latter was incensed over the
execution. No doubt he saw it in
the same light as the Spaniard,
that it would mean, as it did, the
firing of the spark Of indignation
which sent hundreds of thousands
of men into the ranks Of the
Allies.
Mile. Thuliez and the others
were saved by the efforts of
President Wilson and by the very
bad reaction, from a German
standpoint, which the execution
brought from the neutral world.
In their case against Castor
Quien, the French wanted TO
know why the Germans had not
interned him when they found
him in prison. They wanted to
know, too, why he had returned
to Brussels after Edith Cavell had
gotten him through the German
lines into Holland. They did not
believe his answers and ordered
that he be shot as a traitor. A
reprieve saved his life and now
he asks vindication, vowing:
Il will repeat to my last
breath! I did not betray Edith
Cavell."

A Fake Title

The District Commissioners voice the overwhelming
sentiment of the community when they protest against
the enactment of the bill to permit gambling which now
masouerades under the title to establish racing board
in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes"
The Commissioners knOuv full DeH that there is
no necessity for enGctng this measure; that there
is little desire for it except on the part OF those
1vhO stand to profit by their rake-Off from the
gambling; and that there is very sincere deter
ninqtiOn the part of our decent citizens to keep
the city as free of the eUs of gambling possible
Attempts to deude the community into believing that
the tax to be collected under this bill would prevent i'm

POCKETS OF THOSE LEAST ABLE TO PAY THEM
OUT OF THE POCKETS OF THOSE WHO WOULD
BE WAGERING THEIR TWo-DoLLAR BILLS IN A
VAIN ATTEMPT TO BEAT SYSTEM THAT IS
PROFITABLE ONLY TO ITS OPERATORS.
It claimed that opposition to this bill is designed
to prevent residents Of the District from enjoying the
thrill of perfectly legitimate sport-the racing Of
horses.
There is some talk of the desirabty of encouraging
the breeding of fine horses with the implication that
actmen of this is necessary to accomplish that
result
THESE CLAIMS SIMPLY ARE NOT BASED ON

betting horse racing forbds betting boat racing

Yet boat racing ourshes under this law and the city
enjoys annually of the countrys outstanding classics
of this fine sport.
The same is true Of baseball the city enjoying and
supporting fine professional baseball team as well as
dozens of amateur aggregations.
The boatmen aren't trying to get out from under

enthusiasts.
