The moat Mil ImI tied man In Washington today is Charles CJ. Da we*. Vlee President ??f ih,. r?|l?.d states. General llawri r*ullzeH it is not bis turn to speak and lie doesn't propose lo speak out of turn ? for thn ilnif being. If Is an unwonted, tin natural silence that brood* ov er the presiding officer of the l tilled Stains Senate ? a Senate of which he disapproves ho hlghlv No one knows Juki how Ions the sphinx-like attitude on the pari of i he siremious Vice Presi dent will last. There Is no ques tion hut thut Central Dawes in a great drawing tsrd with the pub # ?? ..,M .look,,tl U|Km ,,H a ?orl or Ked" Grange among the eld er statesmen. He is likely to grab the hall from the opposition at nn>' "tile and race down the cal endar for a reform in the rules. Hut what the general public has been expelling Is to hear the Vice J resident bawl the Senate out ugain. This public has been pack ing the Senate galleries in antici pation of the huppy event. The man in the street wants to ?ee the sedate Senators squirm. He would not even mind seeing them stew in their own Juice. It is u queer Idea the public has of the Senate and of the Senators. It pictures each Senator with a mon key wrench in hid hund. ready to throw ii into the i.'oolidge machin ery at any moment, it thinks ,,f I he Irreconcilable Borah and John won and Moses and of the late Jtampant LaKollette, represented now by Young Battling Hob. and of tho un regenerate and unterri Jled Democrats, out with a hatchet for any scalp in sight. The man in the street read a great deal of editorial commenda tion for what Mr. Dawes said about the Senate on the fourth of last March when he had his one opportunity to speak out in meet ing. The public recalls hazily that the Vice President gave the mer ry gentlemen of the Senate a touch of Helen Marls thunder and lightning. It takes the ground that the Senate must have de served all that was said about it and therefore must be thoroughly bad. Hut the public which has come his session to see the Vice Pres ident burst forth anew has been bitterly disappointed and will be Rome more Dawes ban been the mildest mannered presiding offi cer who ever sat on tho Senate ros trum and this is saying n great deal when it is remembered Hint the last two occupants were the sweet and lovable Thomas Riley Marshal, who regarded the Vlco Presidency, and undoubtedly the Senate, as Jokes and the silent, taciturn, unwordy Calvin Cool ld*f?_ Vice President Da wen evidently has made up his mind to break the ! record for putting the fewest Dum ber of words from hln mouth In the new Congressional record. I Under the Senate rules he has no . right to make any further extend I ed remarks during the course of ' his allotted term to preside over that august body of statesmen. It is up to iii" Vice President now merely to be an automaton, to put motions, to call for order, and to rule, under parliamentary guid ance from the old Senate attach-! es. on any disputed point of the rul'H The Vice President since Monday has been putting his mo tions in such subdued tones that they cannot b* heard i? tbe gal leries. even by the most trained and strained, ears. The Vice Pres ident has not even been putting the early motions of the new ses sion to a vote. Of course there have been no serious disputations as yet. The motions have been more or less formal. And so when they hove been made tbe Vice President has merely muttered In a hope-you -don't - hea r me rone of voice: "Without objection the mo tion Is agreed to." When some one gets up and calls It a day moving to adjourn. Mr. Dawes doesn't follow the old custom of saying: "It is moved that the Senate do no adjourn until 12 o'clock tomor row, Those ' the con struction of a Government dam at Newhurg.

Honorable C. L Tarklngton. "1 heartily endorse Senator Wil liams' views in the matter and have been a staunch advocate ot the idea ever since reading some years ago, in the ('Diversity News; Letter, published at Chapel 1-1 111. | au article setting forth the advan tages to be gained by consolida tion of the smaller counties. 1 "If consolidation of the small er counties is a practical thing to do in any two counties of our' State, it certainly looks practical for Pasquotank and Camden on account of the favorable location of Klizabeth City as a county seat for the consolidated counties. Kllz-, a belli City may now be reached from auy part of Camden pracll-; cally as easily as can Camden courthouse, from which it is sep arated by less than four miles of paved road. "If the two counties were merged, one county government would do for both counties. Hut there is where the rub comes. Our Camden office holders say 'But if the counties consolidate we will, get no offices on this side the rlv- j er.' I submit that such a view point is too trivial even to talk about. If I cherished such a view. I should be ashamed to admit it. To express such au Idea Ih to bej; the question and to admit that there is no real sound argument oil which to oppose consolidation "And not only would Camden citizens cut down on the overhead , expense of county government by ! consolidation with Pasquotunk hut nIho they would compel Klizabeth City to help build aiul maintain their roads.

And ililw is all right, hut how much revenue do we get back from what we upend in Klizabeth City to help , build and maintain our road*? None whatever, aud there is uo I expectation or poBHlbtllty of our getting any as long an the counties are divided. Hut let uh coosnli- , date, and we will Rain by the molt* ey w?i spend in Klizalieth City just as do Pasquotank farmers now. "Pasquotank Is making no kick. Pasquotank will goon have a net work of hard-surfaced roads ; which we folks over In Cumdeti , ure helplug to pay for. Cumden has done as much N> proportion to area to pave the streets of Klizabeth City aud the roads of Pasquotank aud to build the com fortable homes and attractive bus iness buildings iu Klizabeth City us Pasquotank's own rural dis tricts Jiave done. Why ahould not . Cutndeu reap the results of theso expenditures In the same propor tion? t "Finally, if consolidation is u-i good thing let's turn on the light1 and show up its advantage*. if' It's a good thing, we want It. If It Isn't, we don't. Hut let's dis cuss the proposition on Its merits and leave politics, public office and private gulu out of this con ! troversy."

The town wan not thrust Into the limelight through any effort of its own. hut because engineers of the corporation, after a tour of pract icully nil the couutry In a thirty to fifty mile radius of Now York. discovered that a site Just outside tho limits of Houndhrook nppenred to he the most suitable location for a super power trans mitter. From early teats it was discov ered that the diHlance between Houndhrook nnd New York City was sufficient to prevent a Huper power station from having n blanketing effort on the hroadeust Ing in the Metropolis, und at the snme time the Houndhrook site was found to offer excellent ut mnsphorlo qualifications for broadcast ing. It Is not likely, however, that Houndhrook will continue to en joy the publicity It has been given flaring the first tests, for the fu ture it is exported that tho cull letters 2-XAIt. Houndhrook, will ho replaced by the more familiar rnl. VVJZ. New York City, but or-, rnsionul mention that the W.IZ transmitters are located In the New Jersey village probably will bo made. Although considered complete ly successful us u medium for long range hroudcsutlng the fifty kilo watt transmitter of VVJZ Is not yet recognized as completely . tuned for quality broadcasting. Work Is being done continuously on the transmit tors to perfect modula tion. ami It is possible that sever al chunges will be made before 2-XAIt becomes a regular voice of th" air. under the WJZ csll let ters. When the station comes on the ; air definitely. It is understood that continuous broadens! ing from early In the morning until mid-' night is eonteinpluted by the pro gram department of WJZ. So far. reports that the station has boon heard at nlffht have been IVed from every part of the United States and frequent reports have been hail that signals sent In the day have been picked up with good strength from points more than T?tiO miles from New York City.
