FROM THE GALLERIES

Visitors to the galleries of Senate and House have been fairly numerous this session, sign that the people are interested in the processes of Territorial lawmaking and a sign also, doubt that the Legis- lators are putting on a good show.
 Galleries here. as in all American Capitals, are open to the public, Legislation openly arrived at is feature of Democracy. Visitors barred from the council tables of the Dictaorshps where the decrees that rule those countries drawn up Here interest on the part of the public is welcomed.
 Refutation is at hand, too for the argument that our laws are made in hotel rooms anyway and that what is to be in the Senate and House chambers is just so much floss. Watch controver- sial measure come to the floor of of the Houses here There will be argument enough, maneuvering enough amending enough and disagreement aplenty to convince anyone that the principal features of our laws are still being nodded in the open
 Drop around some morning afternoon to the Legislative chambers the second floor of the Federal building for good look at Democracy in action The House of Representatives meets generally at 10 O. clock in the morning, while the Senate convenes at Il or at in the afternoon On most days there will be something doing in one house or the other from 10 o'clock until noon and from until in the after noon

Time They Met Uncle
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 This time the laugh is on Jack Benny. That IS, if it's a laugh.
 No sooner had Benny pleaded mot guilty to snug glng S2 l30 worth of ewelry than Albert N Chaperau accused of having helped Benny and other notables pleaded guilty to smuggling charges, and indicated that he'll appear a witness against the Hollywood comedian.
 Probably Benny and George Burns (who pleaded guilty) both comedians thought it was very very funny at the time No doubt they chucked at the ceverness of it allin company with great host Of respectable Americans who wouldn't steal penny pen cil but whs regard it sport to do Uncle Sam out of revenue.
 These smuggling cases will serve wholesome pur- pose if they do no more than introduce the comedians and those very respectable people to their Uncle Samuel It's high time they met him.
 For years Uncle Sam has been considered fair game for everybody What would be cheating with anyone else was smiply "finesse" when it done to him. The business of playing oop-the-loop with income tax laws became game in which it was con- sdered a distinction to find the newest and sckest way of doing Uncle So with smuggling. People said to themselves Only the Government loses, so what?
 But now that people are being introduced to Uncle Samuel the rest may really recognize him He's not remote individual agency against whom no injury or injustice counts. He's not subtle foe against whom any weapon is justified. Neither is he the familiar figure in top hat and patriotic ribbon.
 Uncle Sams picture is found in your own mirror
 He is you and you and you. In shor3 US.
 When we cheat Uncle we cheat ourselves When one of us cheats Uncle-he cheats the rest of Funny? No it's true.

The Certain Winner
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Whatever the fate of the Spanish people may be- it is clear that Musson is certain to benefit tre- mendolisy from the Insuugent victory which Franco present advance in Catalonia to insure Italian planes were on their way to Southern Spain before the revolt broke out July IT, 1886 Italian troops have been active at irregular intervals throughout the war but particularly against Malaga Bilbao and Barcelona. Italian planes have been decisive factor.
 Far more Italian soldiers have been killed in Spain than were lost in the conquest of Ethiopia Musso- lini has paid more in blood and treasure for this Spanish invasion than for his adventure in East Africa So it is not surprising that he is sacrificing even his territorial claims against France rather than yield any profits from his costly venture in Spain.
 Italys stakes are large and diverse. Italy wants 10 regain the mercury monopoly he worlds richest, which was lost under the republic of 1881 and will be restored by the rebels when they win Far more inn poran Italy wants to retain the naval and air base on Malorca the valuable strategic point in Span ish territory, rivaling even Gibraltar.
 Retaining Mallorca, Mussolni will have base capable of threatening France at her most vital point the sea lanes to Algeria and Tunisa. He likewise will be able to threaten British seapower in the Vest ern Mediterranean as he has done in the Middle Medi- terranean-and as his naval bases off the Turkish coast enable him to do in less definite fashion in the East
 Only snguary gifted prophet could today describe the circumstances in which the Spanish peo- ple will find themselves after Insurgent victory. The extent of Italian and German control cannot be forecast the degree to which Spain itself Will be forced into the Fascist pattern Neither can anyone know in advance what mass punishments will be lm- posed on the people of Madrid and Barcelona by the conquerors for daring support the government they elected But in all this uncertainty, one prophecy is safe-namely that Fascist Italy will achieve san gunary victory comparable to Hilers bloodless con- quests in the Danube Valley.
