Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, July 20. Repub
lican leaders in congress were said
today by Chairman Penrose of the

ing hops of reducing either govern

Chairman Penrose said he thought
it possible in the forthcoming t
revision to remove some of the both
ersome excise taxes and also the levy

Not Enough Food
To Care For The
750 Hungry Ones
Are you doing your part?
Do you knew that the ladies el
the distribution committee of tht
Associated Charities are feeding,
or trying te fee, 750 hungry T
They are working threugh the
stifling heat for long hours; and
there is net enough food te ge
round.
It is a shame that this should be
se, when th situation eeuld be so
easily relieved; almost without
cost, by the process of salvaging.
The ladies are asking for only
the cheapest foods, beans, milk,
Arbuekle's coffee snd perishables,
with tens and tens of fruit and
vegetables going to wast.
The situation is a mora serious
en than is Imagined. And there
are soma who do not realix their
heartlessneas when they ssy that
they de nst believe th situation
exists at all.
Let them stand at th corner of
Thrd and Adams streets and see
th almost despairing mother and
children who gather there for th
handful ef food whkh th ladies
ar able to give them.
THE WORLD'S CAPITALS
In European countries, national
leadership is geographically central

many! its Berlin; Britain, it Len
don; Italy, ita Rome; Denmark, its
Copenhagen: Austria, its Vienna
and America? its New York. Bos
ton, Baltimore, Chicago, New Or
leans. San Francisco, and Wash
ington.
Washington is a beautiful "rest
dence" town, garnished with the
Capitol. But it dominates neither In
finance, nor in art, nor in litera
ture, nor in ideas; and its political
dictatorship is partisan rather than
governmental. Every change of ad
ministration brings in a new horde
of officials, most of them amateurs
in everything except "politics." No
on in America ever awaits Wash
ington's Judgment on a book, a play,
personality, or a proposition un-
esa it pertains to diplomacy.
The news we read from Washing
ton is partisan; and it it is personal,
it deals with the humdrum of th
president's routine, or the eccen
tricities of some congressman. It
would produce th profoundeat ur
prise to learn that a new idea eman.
ated from Washington: and every
one would be shocked it a new
impulse were started on Pennsyl
vania avenue. Th great impulses
of our national government arise in
th "home statea" and thev are
carried to Washington y Individuals.
delegations, resolutions, sometimes
by senators, rarely by congressmen.
and once in a while by presidents.
But as a creative force Washing
ton is nil. It has its "ear to the
ground." and th ground is not al
ways swept. It doe not grasp the
baton or leadership. Our national
capital ia always expectant and rare
ly imperative. This makes national
guidance especially difficult, for It
must overcome our egoistic provln.
