Comment
Inauguration claims most of the
attention of residents and visitors in.
Washington but now and then an 1-
tem of interest along some other line
rises to the surface. A Senator has
been sued for a half million dollars
for calling someone bad names. The
Eighteenth Amendment will be re-
submitted to the people, but that will
not prevent liquor law violators from
getting all that is coming to them,
so long aa the Amendment remains
on the statute books, according to a
high official ot the incoming: Depart-
ment of Justice. A former Depart-
ment of State man says that there
is no better reason now for recogniz-
ing Soviet Russia than there was at
any timo heretofore. Before this note
is in print, the Treasury-Post Office
appropriation bill probably will have
become a law, with considerable pow-
e.- and discretion vested in Mr. Roose-
velt. He is reported to be light o.
heart, and ready for his task, but ful-
ly awake to the responsibilities o.
his office and in full realization <0.
the gravity of the work which lies be-
fore him. An extra session is looked
for, but the date of its opening is un
certain.
It is charged that the upper body
of Congress has spent more mono;,
on itself this year than last. In genu'
al, the Senate almost daily does some-
thing that brings down upon it a good
deal of harsh criticism at the hands
of the populace; yet the Senate is not
composed of blockheads, at that. For
instance, Senator Hull, Swanson and
Navy, and Hull to the portfolio of gee ^hat YOUT Child Is
State. One speculates whether some FYmmovatorl
or all of these gentlemen, were not iiinUITlGlflICQ
content to remain where they were. I . ' .

other qualifications they are men who ' CENSUS TAKERS of Stone-
