As Uie session gets going, one hears
plenty of rumbling. Keasons for dis
satisfaction are numerous and varied.
But they can be concentrated sudden
ly. At least that is the record of dis
gruntled congresses of other years.
Mr. Koosevelt and his advisers and his
leaders in congress know It and, hence,
everything has been dune and is being
done to keep the firing scattered. If
there should be an issue devised or
arise on which tlie hulk of senators
and representatives agree in oppogl-
tlon to the Chief Executive, there will
he plenty of trouble for the administra
tion. Kepuhlicuns, you know, are not
going to pour oil on troubled waters.
They play politics, too.

of the iaw which requires that every
corporation that sells.Its shares of

with laws about its flnaucial status, re

sequence. Washington observers are
saying that each one of these contains
elements that may lead to a break be

they also are saying that Mr. Koose-

This largely explains the action of the
President in proclaiming the I^ondon
conference treaty on silver buying in
effect just wh^eu he did. The plau for
tlie American government to consume
all of the silver produced In this coun
try will stop some of the Infiationists,
perhaps fifty of them, right in their
trucks. Their states and districts will
get the benefit of the silver purchases
by the government. It means a profit
for them that they have not had In
half a dozen years. It Is quite obvious
that they won’t become rabid support

has happened since, I do not know,
but the reason for the first refusal
was that the Fort Worth folks had not

projected plant than were charged
by private Interests.
There are numerous examples avail

question: ought the government of th#
United States subsidize, directly or
Indlrei’tly, such developments, drive
out private business and theq makejUp

vantage point, it looks to be decidedly

I refer to the revival of the long-time
opposition to'government competition
with business In this Instance, the
hue and cry concerns competition by
numerous relief agencies aud also by
the Tennessee Valleyi^thortty which,
to burlesque an oldimj^ng, is de

that the T. V. A. is now trying to sell

or dosired. I do not suppose, how
ever. that they ever thought the Amer

would be tradi'd for a human being.
Yet, that Is Just what ha.* happened
In this day of so-calh*d high civiliza

It seems that Samuel Insull, the Chi
cagoan, who had built up qqlte a big
business In city light and power plants
and other utilities. Is still In Greece,
Some of the folks In (3ilcago would
like to talk to Mr. Insull, Or, rather,
they would like to put him on a wit
ness stand before a judge and jury and
then ask him questions. So it was
natural that they ahoufd «eek tha
aid of the government at Wash
ington In their efforts to persuade
the government of Greece to help
Mr. Insull over the boundary llns
of their country. Greece did not join
so readily with that plan, because Mr.
Insull was regarded by the Greeks as
a nice man. Now, here is where hls-
try repeats.
a • •
_ There came a day when prohibition
was repealed. At Uie same time, thera
was'^a shortage in the United States
of certain kinds of wine which Greece
could supply. But''Grt*ece was not
welcomed as source of the shipments
which could be made under our rules
of the game only under a quota fixed
by our government. There was some
direct word spoken here In Washing
ton to the minister of Greece. It a^^
pears that an understanding waa
reached. Greece was placed on ths
quota list for 25,000 gallons of wine,
and Mr. Insull hereafter may not find
Greece such a pleasant haven.
Of course, I do not profess to know
what went on In the private conver
sations that preceded the action by
the federal alcohol control adminis
tration In placing Greece on the quota
Hat. But I do know the conversations
were not all about the wine quota.
And I have heard subsequently that
the American government expects
eventually to have Mr. Insull return to
the United States so that hia ideas
about the fallen utility empire can be
heard.
An Incident at the treasury a day
or two before"€hrtstniaa distressed ms
greatly. An elderly
lady—I believe ah#
said she was eighty-
four—called at ths
treasury cashier to
get a $20 gold piece. She offered a
$20^ bill in exchange for it. The pay
ing teller was courteous, but positive.
He could not deliver gold; it was
against the executive order issued last
March by President Roosevelt Ths
little old lady could not seem to un
derstand why it had to be that way,
bi|t the refusal waa definite.
"I do not see why I cannot have
that $20 gold piece," she said, as she
walked wearily away from the window.
"It Is the first time Mnce my boy
was twenty-one years old that I have
not given him a $20 gold piece for

MENTHOLATUM
Tormented for
Five Years
with Dandruff
Mejled by Cuticura
"For nearly five years I was tor
mented with dandruff. My scalp
Itched and burned and became very
sort and red from scratching. Hy
hair became thlu and dry and fell
out in handfuls, and the dandruff
scaled off and could be seen on my
clothing.
"I had lost all hope of ever being
healed. A friend told me about Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment and I sent
for a tree sample. The first applica
tion stopped the itching so I bought
more, and I used only one cake of
(Tutlcura Soap with two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment and I was healed."
