Day In Sun Done Dawes Must Suffer In Silence His Inauguration Day Speech l.a?t Chance \ ice Presi dent Will Have to Tell Senators to Their Face What He Thinks of Them By HOUEIIT T. SMALL I (Cormcbl lR} Tii? Adunrr) j Washington, March 7. ? Aft?*r all is Bald and don*-. Vice Presl- J dent Dawes la making a very punctilious presiding officer of the 8enate. Every time* a Senator | rises on the floor, the Vice Presl- t dent arlRes. Some one suggested it was because he didn't wan' anybody to hit him while ho was down. But the rising Is Just the ' general's own ld?'a, and perhaps j" iJVe other Ideas, it will be dis- i xearded after closer acquaintance mprlth the Senate and its ways, v. General Dawes is of a nervous, impatient temperament and that is what Is going to make his Job such a difficult one. When be takes his place he sits first on the vory edge of the chair. After a while he will sit back. Also he will become a sphynx. ' as other Vice Presidents have be come. That Is all he can do. He , has availed himself of his one op portunity to speak. He is In for four yearn now and the rules say* he can only Interpret them and vote In the event of a tie. Hei cannot rise like Senators to a j point of personal privilege. II* is not supposed to have any prlvl- 1 leges, personal or otherwise. A , Vice President Is supposed like i Uncle Remus, Just to "lounge I around and suffer." General [ Dawes' famous "hell and Maria" ? soon will give way to a sigh and j perhaps an "oh gosh, oh golly, oh gee." When he heard he was nomin ated at Cleveland. General Dawes is said to have exclaimed: "Well. I declare!" That is likely to be his demean- j or in the long run as he presides over the deliberative Senate. The Vice President's voice, so ! raucous and scolding when he was ; Inaugurated, has subsided to a j murmur. This is not because the J Vice President has given up hop", i But Just the same some of the older Republican heads In the llertate have been talking to the ^Tlce President and explaining ? that while the country may not jfcink anything of the Senate, the Senate thinks a whole lot of It self. So no matter If he doesn't like red tape, and heaven knows there Is plenty of It at the capltol, General Dawes Is likely to sub side for the remainder of the ses sion. It would have to be a one-sided fight anyhow, If the ... Senators ?hould continue hostilities, be cause the presiding officer Is mux sled. Those who criticised Gen eral Dawes the most for an out burst which created such an un precedented scene and caused di plomatic diplomats to naze stead ily at the Senate floor In embar rassment. do not realize that it was his one and only chance to relieve himself of his feelings In the Senate chamber. If he wnnts to talk about that august body in the future he will have to do It on the chautauqua platform or at banquets or luncheons. He has had his day In the sun. so far as the Senate Is concerned. Nevertheless General Dawes la using an ivory gavel without a handle to It. It Is the regular Senate gavel. In tho House of Representatives the gavel has a handle. The Senate is different. The gavel is Just about the size of a nice hand grenade. As Gener al Dawes fondles it he must think of the days in France. Maybe some time he will forget and toss the darn thing into the enemy's trenches. Who knows? <1. SLIGIOUS CENSUS SUNDAY AFTERNOON As a preliminary to the Chris tian Federation's Revival, a re- j llgious census will be taken Sun day afternopn. At two o'clock volunteers are urged to meet at the First Baptist Church, bring- 1 Ing pencils. The larger number of volunteers, the smaller terri tory each will have to cover.

When seen by a reporter for The Advance this morning, Mr. Peelo was st 111 bareheaded, his thinning hair under the rather rough treatment of the March wind standing out in all dlrec- 1 tlons and giving him the appear- j ance of a man who has Just been 1 given a curtain lecture by his , wife. Ask?>d why he had ceased to wear a hat. the Elizabeth City : editor explained that In the first f placcrhe had never become a slave j to the habit; that. In the second place, he saw no rearon why a man should burden himself with any article of apparel that could I with propriety be removed In the presence of ladies; and that, fin ally. he had in his lifetime before) he swore off from hats complete ly, lost so many of them that he bad ceascd to buy them, generally speaking, as a matter of disci pline and economy. He admitted, however, that he still kcepB one hat in his trunk to wear, as a con cession to convention, when he Is called out of town on business or ] pleasure. "I would like to assure my , friends, for instance, " said Peele, i "that I tried to keep my hat on when out of doors at Currituck I court.

Participation In the evont byl COLERAIN AFTER CHOWAN BRIDGE | Hertford I! ally Friday Ni|ihl Turned Oul lie Bid !>y ( oleruin for Support in Bridge Site Fight. Hertford, March 7. ? With Rev. L. E. Da Hoy of Powellsville. Ber tie County. playing the role of Patrick Henry, the future of Ber tlo County was pictured in glow ing terma as the preacher chain- . pioned Coleraln as the logical and most economical place for the State toll bridge to apan the Cho wan River before a crowded court - , house of repreaentatlves from ( Bertie. Hertford, Chowan. Per-' quintans, and Pasquotank coun ties at the Perquimans County courthouse here IeM night. The meeting was called to or der by A. W. Hefren, president of the chamber of commerce of Hert ford. who stated that the meeting had been called at the request of citizens of Bertie County. Stating that he did not know the purpose of the gathering Mr. Hefren turned the meeting over to J. R. Lawrence of Coleraln. . Mr. Lawrence, a well built, tall ? 200 pounder, with frankness writ- . ten in the lines of his face, de clared that the purpose of th?* ; meeting was to seek the co-opera-' tlon of all counties of Eastern North Carolina in asking that the State Highway Commlaslon visit Coleraln and compare Us advan- ' tages as against those of Eden House as the most desirable place, to build the Chowan River bridge. ? Mr. Lawrence then Introduced Rev. L. E. Dalley. The minister declared in the beginning that It was not the pur pose of the people of Bertie Coun ty to tell the State where to build the bridge. But Mr. Dalley did not fail to express his seal for the1 Coleraln site and intimated that 1 , ? In his opinion ? a wayfaring man though a fool could not pos sibly conclude that Eden Houic was the best place for the State's i Chowan River bridge. The preach-, er spoke for nearly an hour and his voice roared beyond the wall* of the courthouse as he pleaded , for an outlet for Bertie County. "We are a progressive people? , we desire an outlet and wish to I grow." Mr. Dalley aaid. "The plac j ing of this bridge across the Cho wan at Coleraln will bring more business to Hertford and Ellta- , beth City than would the Eden 1 House location. The cost of pav ing the roads leading to the bridge ' at Coleraln would be less and the travel over roads In our county ! would be heavier as we are more j thickly populated than Is the sec- i tlon around Edenhouse. "Coleraln is now practically Iso- ' lated. As a part of North Caro- j Una we are entitled to the road building blessings which other sections of the State are getting." W. R. Johnson of Ahoskie also made a gallant speech for Coler- , aln,' declaring that he wanted to j ?M the Highway Commission do the thing that would be the best i for the whole State. R. C. Job of Elisabeth City was j called upon and the Elizabeth City man responded with the statement that Elisabeth City was willing to abide by the decision <>f the State Highway Commission as to the location of the lirldge. The meeting closed with an ap peal from J. R: Lawrence for th" I co-operation of Elisabeth City and Hertford in helping to seek an In vestigation by the State Highway Commission of the Coleraln route. Mr. Lawrence stated thst as soon ss the roads were passable hi hoped for a big get-together meet ing at Coleraln. Whether the Coleraln delega tion ever realise anything from the bridge project or not the meeting might have been called a Coleraln rally and wan a pretty good boost for the people of that community. the Federal government was re cently authorised by a resolution passed by Congress.
