NNWS HAPP[NINGS FROM WASHINGTON (By Wallace Bassford, Special News Correspondent) . Washington, D. C., Jan. 28.-Speak er Gillett appears to have at last given up the belief that the Republi ca. party can produce prosperity by the mere fact of its being in power. HQ has writtte.. a dismal wail to his constituents up at Springfield Mass. After promising them a new ibederal building, which appears to have been promised for some years, he uses these truthful but gloomy sentences: "I receive many expressions of disap pihtment with the work of Congress. "J 'his is quite natural. -Some of our legislation, notably the tax bill, has excited great disapproval. I do not - pretend that I have supported all that we have done. On the contrary, some of the measures have passed against my energetcic opposition. The indus trial depression intensifies the criti cism of Congress. Men suffering from idleness or ruin look to us to save them; nothing can bring pros perity again except self-denying econ omy and incessant, productive work." With those frank admisisons going over the country in cold type from the man who heads the present Congress, it is difficult to see how the Republi cans can ask for re-election next fall at the hands of those "suffering from idleness or ruin, "which the Speaker admits his party is helpless to relieve., No one in Washington who obser ves events has any doubt that the Associated Press report as to Hard ing's attitude on the naming of a "dirt farmer" on the Federal Reserve Board was correct. Unquestionably, in their view the President went up in the aIr when the group of Prog ressive Senators made the request but by the next day he saw the poor poli ties in his curt refusal, and then in spired a statement to the effect that it was all a mistake that he had bees opposed. To those who have grown used to the stiff back-bone of Cleve land, Roosevelt and Wilson, this rapid caving-in tendency of the President is not conductive to confidence in the strength of the Executive. From time out of mind we have admired the man who was reputed to carry the "fist of steel in the silken glove," "HE WHO LOOKS BEFORE IIE "Make this on that o That's abou1 can hand or some repair u this, don't ju Ask for dec "THE N Then you'll be money's worth pensive repairs ward.

While Senator Penrose carefully provided in. his will that there should be no inventory or accounting made of his estate, he overlooked an item of $226,000 in cash which he had in a safe deposit box in Washington, part yin ten-thousand-dollar bills mere loose change saved from his, sal ary. Everyone recalls that at the time of the Chicago Convention of 1920 was very ill. Now his physician comes forward and tells how the big boss was unconscious for hours, then came ot himself and asked what was going on at the Convention. Upon his secretary informing him that the Convention was deadlocked, he re plied: "Tfell 'em to throw it to Hard ing." And yet there are millions of patriotic men and women who grew up in the Republican party, some of whom were for General Wood, some for Lowden or Senator Johnson, who have fondly Imagined 'that' they were having something to do with the no minat'on of a candidate when they wont to the primaries and cast their lallots. Under the boss-ridden party of today they have no more to do with selecting the candidate than if they lived in New Guinea. Penrose big boss of the lesser bosses, just told them what to do, and he, in turn, was told what was wanted by the Mellon Dupont outfit. Once in a while the people still rise up in their might and do something, proving that they still have the power-for instance, the dry laws-but power unused is like the hoe that rusts in the shed-it pro duces no crop. The Republicans are having trouble raising campaign funds. The busi ness man who has no money to put into his own business is a poor sub ject for the campaign solicitor. There is little relief from the necessarily high war taxes, which the Republicans all voted for but which they are un able, for some reason, to lessen appre ciably. Freight rates 'remain very high and trade languishes, while Con gress fritters away its time trying to enact an anti-lynching bill to coddle the negro voter, though the best Con stitutional lawyers on the Republican side admit that the Supreme Court will make short work of the law when it finally gets to them, for it is abso LEAPS BUILDS OF CYPRESS AND ; the last rep ne spot. the soundest a it to the man jobs ahead of h .st order "some ay -defying PRE playing safe and g, -plus.

The men who have furnished campaign funds in the past. are getting poor return fo'r their money and are sitting as judges of a Congress that satisfies no ody., Its failures can not be hidden, for they are visible in stunted indus try low prices for farm products and millions unemployed. And the soldier vote is up in arms. On top of al lthe other troubles, the Republican party left a very bad taste in the country's mouth by seating Newberry. This man was indicted and Convicted on a felonious charge and escaped because the Supreme Court found that the law specified "elec tion," while the bribery charged was committed in a "primary election." He escaped by the saving grace of one word! What a splendid vindica tion! His family should adopt a coat, of arms bearing a ten dollar bill ram pant, standing triumphant over, the remains of a tin lizzie par'ant, with the motto in letters of gold. "By one word." Debs seems to be a hero-at least, he is in Terre Haute, where the so ciaist mayor kissed him twice. Most folks who have seen 'Gene would de cline to kiss him more than once. By the way, what is happening to his party? In the recent election in New York City it almost disappeared but that is the common history of new parties; if they can not win in the second or third attempt, they fade away. They can not live on hope alone.

He told the court they were worth $10,000. But the law only compelled the land lord to pay $50, because the trophies were in a suitcase at the time they were stolen. Thousands of disabled soldiers who should be in hospitals are forced to work and support their families be cause their compensation claims have not been allowed, according to the American Legion. Hanford MacNid er, commander, has called upon the Veterans' Bureau to effect prompt adjustment.

The act of a Toledo judge in refus ing citizenship to two foreign-born residents who avoided war service because of "conscientious objections" has been commended by the Tony Wroblewski post, American Legion, composed entirely of foreign-born Americans and sons of foreign-born residents.

With forest logs hewn and hauled by their own hands, American Legion men a Stigler, Okla., have erected an "overgrown cabin" for a clubhouse, where, before two roaring wood fires, they can gather on wintry nights to fight the war over again in comfort. Special police patrols to stem the existing crime wave have been or ganized by posts of the American Legion in Nebraska and Georgia, many unemployed ex-service men ob taining a livlihood by guarding large residential districts. Prisoners in the Los Angeles coun ty jail have been borrowing American Legion buttons to obtain sympathy in the courts on the ground of "war record." Investigation has shown that one button and one war record has served for a whole handful of pri soners.

Bone oif Alaska and other high terzitorial and Federal officials, will take place at the Riley Creek Bridge, 120 miles southi of Fairbanks. Thousands are expect ed to attend. The Riley Creek Bridge is in itself a triumph of engineering. Late in November, 1921, 500 tons of steel for the bridge were shipped from Seattle to Seward.

The main line between Seward and Fair banks is 467 miles in length, but with branches, the completed system will have a total trackage of 539 miles. For some months past luxurious trains, with Pullman conches and buf fet dining cars have been operated over the main line on a once-a-week schedule. Freight was carried be tween the ends of steel by dog sled. Opens Up Rich Territory Alaska hails the coining of the railroad as the key that will unlock one of the richest territories in the world. Mail from Seattle will reach Fairbanks in nine days. Heretofore fro mone to three months was the usual time of transit. The road will be open the year round, and no longer will the freezing of the Yukon in winter mean that the great interior country must hibernate until resumption of navigation in the spring. Alaskas richest areas are tapped by the road. The fertile valleys of the Tanana and Yukon will be in direct connection with Seward, a seaport with a harber free of ice for twelve months in the year. The road passes through important coal fields, one of which is expected to furnish supplies of steaming fuel for naval vessels. It traverses what Gov ernment geologists describe as a rich potential oil district in the Cook Inlet region contiguous to Anchorage. State of South Carolina, County of Clarendon.
