move to do as he was asked and
inquired of the boys why they
didn't occasionally think up
something original for him to
do.
There was a long silence and
then Secretary Ickes continued,
with a still wider smile, that
maybe the boys should ask him
to kiss Mr.. Straus-that might
be original. One of the pho

And she is the girl who lost both legs under railroad

There is tragedy But not to her. Somewhere in her

words of those who will neither break nor bend:

future had been cut off with my legs But decided that
was no way to take it.

any tourist who stops and asks
him for information about the
Capitol. OF course the answer
might not be the correct one but
then it'll be quick. For instance,
a lady stopped Gene on the first
floor and asked him what that
statue represented.
She was referring to the huge
block bearing the heads of Susan
B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Right
away Gene said:
That's the statue of the Ma
tiOnal WOmen's Party"
"And who are those WOmen?"
the lady persisted.
Without a seconds hesitation
Gene came right back:

SOLE SURVIVOR
Saionji is the sole survivor OF a
group of japanese statesmen upon
whom fell the burden of remodel
ing their feudal empire into q
modern commercial state. Japan'S
position in world affairs today is
the monument to the work they
accomplished in period OF fifty
years.
Saionji fought for the emperor
in his youth, wearing green armor
and leading the archers of the
clans of Satsuma and ChoShu.
About the time that he and his
followers were swinging double
swords and stretching their bows
on the fields of Japan, Grant and
Lee were locked in the Battle OF
the Wilderness, pouring out shot
and shell against each other. Such
was the gap of 10 centuries be-
tween the flowery kingdom and
western civilization.
However, there were other young
men in Japan like Saionji, eager
to discard the bow and arrow for
the musket and cannon; eager to
adopt the machines and the COM
mercial methods Of these strangers
who forced their way into the ports
of Japan to open the country tt
the world.
Saionji, his military duties fin
ished, was chosen to go and learn
about the white races and theiI
methods. Off to Paris he was
packed by way Of the United
States, and he was to write from
the Washington of 1871 that the
low.necked dresses worn by the
women were astonishing to him
The student from Japan was g

1t Is Up to the Voters
RuL. ". WiLLiQnls, w.

If the American people are to
enjoy the fruits of any real econ
omy in the administration OF the
Federal Government these things
must be brought about:
/. Elimination Of many kinds
Of waste in the conduct Of Federal
business.
2. Elimination Of political graft
in the form Of Federal expendi-
lures that are forced by political
spoilsmen for the maintenance OF
the spoils system.
3. Elimination Of double taxa
ton, a revamping Of the taxing
system and the reduction Of taxes.
4. A halt upon new expenditures
running into vast sums for various
and sundry Federal projects
many of them worthy but beyond
the means of a Nation that is pill
ing I'D a huge deficit and operat-
ing its Government on an unbal-
anced budget.
EMPTY GESTURE
None of these things will be
brought about by a small per-
centage slash in all Federal ex-
penditures regardless Of their rela-
tive merits. Such a slash would
be only an empty gesture designed
to quiet the dissatisfaction Of the
voters until after the Congress
Sional elections of next year. In
these elections all of the four
hundred and thirty-five Seats in
the House must be filled and
thirty-two Of the Seats in t h e
Senate,
Everything that Congress does
between now and the time OF
these elections will be done with a
view to winning votes for re-elec-
ton.
There are many Senators and
Representatives in Congress today
who really believe that the peo-
pie are not particularly interested
in reducing Federal expenditures.
They base this belief upon their
correspondence with their constit-
uents. The trouble with this kind
of correspondence as a guide is
that Congress is so continuously
in session that the average Sena-
tor and Representative in Con-
gress has little contact with the
mass of the voters in the several
States and Congressional Dis
trictS.
Correspondence between Capitol
Hill and "the people back home"
is largely limited to what one
member Of Congress described the
other day as THE gimme and get
me group" This group is made
up of those voters who either wish
to stay on the Federal payroll or
get on the Federal payroll or get
something in the way Of money or
patronage for themselves or their
friends or their community from
the Federal Treasury.
It is to this coalition Of self
seekers that the propaganda of
the party in power, both verbal
and written, is, in the main,
addressed.
The series of so-called dedica-
tory orations that mark the
progress of the Campaign Chair
