Tipo or three different times during
my raeent stay in Washington, I drop
pad la to aaa what waa going on in the
Bsciats and the House of Rapraaenta
tiise. I suppoee moat loyal American
citizen* have great reverence and re—
■past for theaa august, lawmaking
bodies. Many of oa read the Congress- j
ional Record with considerable inter
est. It ia the highest ambition of many
aspiring politicians to become mem
bers of the United Stataa Senate. The
aurroundings, it seems to ma, are
about all that could be desired to
make it the giaateat forum on sarth
far the discussion at great qneattoaa
at State.
Bat what does the occaeional visitor
see, as hs drops in to hear a great
statesman apeak and see a little of
congressional proceedings? One morn
ing I heard .Senator Hitchcock deliver
an excoriating speech on the Peace
Baaolutinn. The spectators were inter
ested to see the fur fly. What he did
. far Senators Lodge and Knox was a
plenty. I thought he handled himself
and his subject splendidly. It wsi a
masterful effort. It was illuminating,
interesting and entertaining. I wished
I had ail day to listen to such oratory.
But he wsa speaking mostly to empty
chairs One distinguished looking sen
ator. sitting just in fnmt of the speak
er wa. reading the morning paper. A
few others were sitting around, read
ing and talking and amusing them
selves as best they could, while the
orator rounded out his splendid peri
ods.
Now and then the question wss
raised as to whether a quorum was
present. The providing officers would
have the roll called and a great stream
of senators would pour from the cWiak
rooms. After the roll call, most of
them would disappear. Neither Mr.
Lodge nor Knox heard the excoriating
speech by Mr. Hitchcock. It is a great
game they are playing up there. To
the casual observer, they seem to be
fiddling while the world bums.
