THE SENATOR-AT-LARGE It Is Christmas Time H™ much of the Christmas Spirit will be evidenced on the Hill these days, cannot be forecast as this journal of exuberance goes to press. Many and varied are the emotions of those who have trekked back from the home grounds to foregather under the great dome, and the statue of the lady on its top with her back to the City of Washington. In this special session, and the Congress to convene in January, there will be a test of the strength of giants. The anti-Administration forces are, for the first time, eagerly looking for good wrestlers’ holds on the Presi- dent's person and his ambition. Many men will get these holds, and some of them he will throw through the skylight into oblivion. Others will hang on to worry and harass him to the end of his public life. Many will grow in stature and public estimation, by their ability to grapple with him, in propor- tion to the perfection of their technique. Others, because of the crudeness of their intentions, will be laughed at for many a day. The matter of Justice Black's appoint- ment to the Supreme Court will have its fullest airing. The degree of neutrality of these United States will be determ- ined. The shade of Woodrow Wilson, with his League of Nations scroll, will look down upon Executive and Legis- lative action. The Budget will become a in Washington, Too living thing. Bitterness and hate will re- |f ceive full expression, and fear and jeal- ousy of men and measures will seethe in and around and about.the marble halls. Resolutions of approval and condemna- tion will clutter up clerks’ desks by the hundreds, Over at the Executive Offices, calm- eyed Stephen Early will continue his | hold upon the respect of the Press. Marvin McIntyre will, apparently, en- thusiastically handle the important visi- tors to the President. James Roosevelt, the newest secretary, will frantically brush bureau and department heads out of his hair before he goes home each | night. Rudolph Forster, sitting with his back to all of this, and facing the bust of Theodore Roosevelt on his desk, will placidly consume his endless chain of cigarettes. (CHRISTMAS morning will come, and in the big White House the great Patroon who lives beside Henry Hud. | son's river, will gather his family about him and hold close the sweet memories | of other Christmas Days. With Christmas Eve, ambition will lay itself down to sleep, and with the coming of the Christmas Day, hate will | have died, fear will have gone away, and in this land of ours will be the con. sciousness of Peace and Great Good Will Toward Men. —H.N. MILESTONES BREAKING bread with your neigh. bor is out of fashion. Now you go over and tear up a treaty with him. People who buy Xmas gifts on the instalment plan usually wind up with the presents on the tree and themselves in the bag. Then there's the announcer who ex- plained that a program of dance music would be played instead of the scheduled songs of the Vagabond Lover, as the Vagabond Lover was home with a cold. Two newspapers will often become embroiled in a bitter circulation war | when one paper keeps getting all the scoops and the other paper has the Mickey Mouse comics. Add _similes: Discouraged as the treasurer of a Republican club. A Legionnaire friend of ours revisited France recently and found the spot on the battlefields where he had almost lost his life. The very spot where he had neglected to salite a second lieutenant. Judge Established 1881 Harry NewMan, Publisher Jack SHUTTLEWoRTH, Editor GLENN W. WHITEMAN, Business Manager voce, December, 1937.
