EXAGGERATION OF DEBATERS Their Extravagant Statements Con. earning tha Customs Meaaura Lead Ona to Doubt tha Existence of Statesmanship In Either Heuaa. " By EDWARD B. CLARK ' Washington. Congress hua settled duD with a sur(a-e ilieiTfuliii'SS to ao all-summer session of the tariff, warm aeiwluu likely lu mure tlian one nivunliiK of tlie adjective. At tlie present niumvnt liuiius ia a marching roniauiou of the turiff. if the mv at which the customs measure la pro ceeding can be culled a march. Later the tariff must go it alone. It ia asked frequently if there are statesmen in Washington. Every mem ber of congress if asked the question probably modestly would decline to answer. The majority of tha people tnust Judge aa to the statesmanlike qualities of their representatives and senators In congress, and, for that matter, of their President and his cabinet officers. Sometimes it ia bard for one to believe that there can be anything like statesmanship lu either boose when he ia compelled to listen to certain utterances which come from the neighborhood of this seat or that eat r'For Instance, the tariff measure has been pronounced by some of ita spon sors to be the greatest economic lib erator of a people which ever was framed or conceived by man. Some opponents of the tariff measure have declared it to be disruptive of Amer ican economic conditions, the last word of appeal for the annihilation of all that Americana commercially bold dear. When you get expressions like these from leaders on the one hand and on the other, la it possible that there can be liyklng belief in anybody's mind that statesmanship exists anywnere onder the dome of the capltol of tha United States? No Ona Believes This Extravagance. It la not probable at all that any Republican believes the tariff measure Is a proposed legislative enactment second only in Importance to the American people to the Declaration of Independence. Neither is it probable at all that any Democrat who stands opposed to the bill believes it will dy namite American commercial Institu tions out of existence and bring to this country a condition of something like that which today exists lu Eu rope. Some congressmen do not put in much time at the thinking job. Any ven neur statesman probably realizes that the extravagances of expression which have been used by both aides In connection with the tariff bill sim ply wjll appear ridiculous to humor loving Americans. When a senator or a representative breaks loose be knows do restraint, save in rare instances, for admission must be made thut there are a few men in the employment of the people of the United States who can deal In words of moderation and yet of strength ami .who do not. find Jt BEREA COLLEGE .to I fire.

Congress in summer thia year In a way will be a fairly pathetic figure, be cause economy has come to town, and no longer will the cooling drink of lemonade made from the fruit of the tree with the addition of this mineral water or that mineral water be dis pensed without price to the thirsty sufferers. Once upon a time when the first linen suit made its appearance In sen ate and house the lemonade pitchers came along with It. Congress In the old days dispensed a cooling end a really necessary hospitality to Itself and to certain of its satellites. For a year or two, however, congressmen have concluded that) the forcing of economy In the government depart ments can be carried through more consistently If It shall deprive Itself of certain things which some people call luxuries, but which In the stifling capital in midsummer are really ne cessities. Most of the members of congress are restive because of the tariff bill delay. The house members and some of the senate members are anxious to get back to what one believes are called the hustings. The congresklon al campaign will be on shortly, and It may be .hat those whose seats are In danger must decide between criticism which wt'.l come to them for leaving the capltol, and the threatenings of danger If they do not leave to go home, tin re to inuke their pleas foi re-einploj t! ent by the people. Historic Room in Whits House. It seems to be the Impression throughout the country. Judging from what visitors to the cupltul any thut the Kost Itooiu of the White House is the "historic chamber" of the old building. The generul run of sight-seers ia likely to think on events of social luipot-tuuce aa fixing the fame of a spot. It la true that the weddings ol Presidents' daughters have taken place In the Eust Itoom, and thui there great receptions have been held ; and also, lest it be forgotten, that there a great wrestling mutch took place, presided over by a Presi dent of the United States and looked on more or less admiringly by cuhlnet officers, foreign ambassadors and min isters but on such doings as these the Eust Itoom'a celebrity must hnug. At tlie heud of the main flight of the White House stair is a room which ia historic. In it the Monroe doctrine was formulated; in it Andrew Jucksou prepared for his uttuck on the Na tional bunk, and in it he mude up his mind what to do if nullification should he attempted in South Caro lina. In this room overlooking the rear grounds of the White House beyond which Ilea the Potomac, Buchanan thought on the upprouch of civil wur, and there struggled with himself on Jie. uuestioniiJ' duty.

This room on the second floor has been used largely as a study' and library by Presidents since the time that Theodore Itoosevelt entered the White House. Most of the recent messagea which have been sent to con gress on minor and major subjects were written In t". e second-story of the executive mansion proper. It was the room In the old days In which for eign ambassadors were received by the President when charged with mes sages of moment. There Lincoln and his secretary of state and the British ambassador passed twelve hours of one day and twelve hours of another In consultation, and at times In con troversy, following the receipt of the news that the Confederate commis sioners Mason and Slldell had been taken from the Rriflsh ship Trent on the high seas and had been made pris oners of the I'nlted States. When the office wing of the White House was built the study and office room became a. study only. It Is there that the President passes his evenings, and It la there that he receives callers whose errands are of such a nature that they do not care to go publicly In the daylight hours to the room adjoin ing the cabinet room In tlie office an nex. The books on the shelves have changed with each Incoming admin istration, and they hve revealed tne reading proclivities of the Incumbent of office. The oldest employee of the White House says that Lincoln bad many books of poetry on the shelves; that Grant had few books, but that those which he had were of the best. Arthur cared little for books. Cleve land had them In numbers, and read much more than he has been given credit for reading. Rooaevtlt'a Circulating Library, When President Koosevelt was In the White Hcuse the study was In na ture that of a circulating library. Me had books ujMin all kinds of subjects, although nature luniks and hunting books predominated. It Is said, how ever, that there was not a book on fishing In the whole collection, for Mr. !ooseelt liked every other kind of outdoor nort, but never went fish lug, a 'fact which has been some what resented by the followers of the sport.

Of Course John Waa 8poof1ng. The late John Kendrick Hangs came Upou a friend one afternoon In a field taking photographs. His camera whs pointing at a haymow and the scene, while one to delight a person of keen artistic sensibility, apparently did not strike the humorist aa anything out of the ordinal y. "Hallo, Itudolph." he remarked; "what In the world are you doing there?" "Just you come over here and look at the reflection on my ground glass and you will see." said his friend with much fervor. Hangs ventured over and put his head under the cloth. "Ah, iiihi see," he raid gravely. "The in mow Is standing upside downf liostnn Transcript.

On Wednesday the peace com mittee, on which both sides were rep resented, reported to I Mill Elreann that It was unable to agree on a basis for adjusting the differences between the Free Ststes and the republican extremists, neither party being able to compromise without complete surren der. At the same time the truce ex pired automatically.

NAOOED by congress through a restitution for an Investigation of Attorney General Paugherty's failure to proceed legally agatnst those who have been robbing the government In war contracts, that official made a report to President Harding In which he Mamed the delay on congress. Tlie attorney general laid the blame for failure to prvweeute upon congress and promised an energetic campaign against war profiteers as soon as nec essary legislation Is enaged. He called for prompt action on the meas ure creating twenty-three addition al federal Judgeships, the bill estab lishing a special grand Jury In the District of Columbia to grind out In dictments against accused contractors, and an additional appropriation of frmn.uiO to enable the department of Justice to continue Its Inquiries. Mr. Paugherty called attention to the fact that nearly all the transac tlona In question took place during the preceding administration and that naturally little was done then to bring them to light. He promised that be would soon make public the names of Influential persoimgea who had knowl edge of the transactions but were er sonally Interested In concealing them. DIHrXTOR OF TUB lUIH'.ET DAWES made a report to the President on the operation of the budget system In which he showed It had reaulted In economies totaling $'.TVMMt for the current fiscal year, and that there would tie a reduction of over tl,(V ,( MHO from the actual exiiendlturea for IfC'l. In transmitting the report to the house appropriations committee Mr. Harding said It con veyed to the people the determination of those In authority to operate the government effectively at the least possible cost, to make the govern ment's full contribution to a return to the normal ways of veace and ulti mately lifting the excessive burden of taxation." "Political bunk" waa the retort of iH'inocrutlo nieiuliera of congress. They aserted the report was deceptive and that the actual expenditures for the routine business of the government have Increased rather ttiun din-reused. They called attention to deficiency ap propriations aggregating S'-IC.imi,-, but Itcpresciitatlve Muddeu chal lenged them to deny that only Hi (nm.lM) of thla deficiency was attribut able to the activities of the present administration. M R. SPEXCEIt, the Junior senator from Missouri, got.into.au uu- plcaantWaa "Through '"his efforts to have the senate confirm the unfortu nate appointment of Nat Goldstein to be Internal revenue collector for tha eastern Missouri district. Mr. Goldstein was a delegate to the Itepubllcan na tional convention but was unseated af ter admitting he had accepted money from one of Frank O. Low den's manag ers. The appointment waa violently at tacked In the aetiste, and Mr. Lowden, who was on an ocean steamer, sent a radiogram declaring that In his opinion Goldstein waa unfit for the Job. Final ly, to relieve the President and Senator Spencer from embarrassment, Gold stein asked that the nomination ha wltlNlrawn. This waa done, but tha iH-iiiocrata made It plain that they In tended to keep the Incident alive for use in the approaching campaign. LRADEItS of building trade unions In the Chicago district who bava been fighting the Indls wage award appear to have overreached themselves at last. Not content with bomb throw ing, Incendiarism and blackmail, some, of them or their hired gunmen Isst week killed two policemen who In terrupted their operations, and wound ed a third. The brutal murders aroused Chicago to the determination to wipe out the outlaw bands. Swift police raids caught a large number of labor leaders. Including some who are ex-coiivlcta and others who are now under conviction of crimes or awaiting trial. Among the prisoners, ssserted the police, sre the men really respon sible for the reign of labor terrorism which haa gripped Chicago for so long a time.
