Not so with flowers. Told Tales of htimt Tak«« From *• n«a of fleWeato* mi Tmn A|» CONGRESSIONAL VIE i# By Congressman Chauncey W. Reed TWENTY YEARS AGO of that source of po-wer which gives tjhe flowers ^t h e i r strength and beauty, we rib doub't all agree that the nearer we get-to nature, the nearer we are to the creative . inteliifence of the'natural world. If we ; ,«re sufficiently observant, we may '*? learn many valuable lessons from ©Ur gardens. ; Much of the development of our l:..?5"; fnodern civilization is attended with " a good deal Of noise. Someone has ^ _ reproduced ingeniously the noises of ©ur great cities as they blend in a single note some distance above the -^t?.fenter of the industrial sections? ISioise means growth, development, : Expansion, progress. Perhaps so; |>ut in the world of beauty, silence . amd not noise is indicative of growth. .. Did you ever try to listen to a lily grow? We have seen the water lily unfold its petals to the morning fun, and draw its" beauty back ^*ithin itself at the hour of sunset. Violently does it work; almost effortless, it seems. No visible strain, , -rior struggle, nor violent exertion: f the lily writes its biography in I" niseless beauty. Whence this freecorn from strain? The answer . comes from the lily itself. It Tteaches us the lesson that obedience • Is liberty and freedom; disobedience is slavery and death. The lily obeys law by surrendering itself to j law. It lets nature do her work* and does not try to interfere by self- , induced efforts which defeat natural Slitter on the Elgin board ot, trade S7Se nature Mast Saturday sold at 36% cent, per pound. j Arthur Sahs of Woodstock, well1 known to many of our young people,' was united in marriage to Miss Maude • • Schwamb at St. Mary's rectory, Wood-' stock, ton Wednesday morning of last week. . ~ | j Lewis Stoffel, son of Mr. and Mrs.' ; Wm.

FORTY YEARS .AGO Joe Robinson . The sudden death of Senator Joseph} T. Robinson, ^nate majority floor j leader came as a severe shock to his j many friends on Capitol Hill/ Sen- j ator Robinson was the leader of the j administration's forces who are seek-1 ing to force the President's Supreme Court bill through the Senate. It is rumored that the Senator's heart had been ; troubling him for some time. During one of his recent speeches he became very excited and was warned by Senator Copeland, a physician, to be careful. It is reported that Senator Copeland said, "Joe, ease up or you'll kill yourself here on the floor for a cause that isn't worth your life." The devastating heat of the Washington summer has again taken its Congressional toll. Speculation is rife as to who will succeed Senator Robinson as majority floor leader in the Senate. The three men who are most frequently mentioned for the position are Senator Barkley of Kentucky, Senator Harrison of Mississippi and Senator Byrnes of South Carolina. Senator Barkley, by virtue of his position as assistant majority floor leader, appears to have the inside track. The matter will be determined at a caucus of Senate democrats in the early part of next week. How Much Have You? According to the U. S.'Treasury Department, money in circulation, on June 30 of this year, amounted to $49.86 per person. History Repeats Itself The hot summer of 1787 during which the Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia is having its counterpart in Washington at the present time. Some of the very same issues which our forefathers successfully fought for, 150 years ago, are again being challenged on the floor of the Senate. One wonders if posterity will accord a place in history to the men in Congress who are at the present time opposing the "packing" of our Supreme Court. Comparable to that of Hamilton, Madison, Benjamin Franklin and Gouverneur Morris, it is my opinion that the men who are today seeking to uphold our government and its institutions should W accorded such a place. Rewarded - The House of Representatives by; a vote of ?40.to 0 has voted a pension to Harry Parker, negro janitor of the House Ways and Means Committee, born at Mt. Vernon of descendants of. slaves owned by General George Washington. Parker has been employed in tl\e Capitol for sixty-three years. Members of both political parties joined in paying tribute to the aged negro on his faithfulness and efficient service rendered over half a century. When informed that he was to be pensioned, he remarked to Chairman Warren of N. C > "Boss if you gemmuns do this, what in the world is going to happen to me away from you all?" To which the Chairman replied, "Harry, just hang around here and make yourself at home the rest of your life, for you are just as much a part of this institution as is thedo&e over this building." - / Presidential. Yet© Killed The House of Representatives voted 260 to 97 to override President Roosevelt's veto of the measure which would extend low interest rates on farm loans for a two-year period. Reasons given by the President for his veto were: That farmers^are able to pay the interest charged by the Federal Land Banks, that if rates were reduced the result would be a gift to the individual borrowers, that a reduction in interest would reduce the annual income of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation with the possibility of loss to the corporation and that passage of the bill was not contemplated in the preparation of the budget for the fiscal year of 1938. Grasshoppers The House Appropriations Committee has just appropriated another mil* lion dollars to fight grasshoppers. Early ir the spring the Department of Agriculture had available for grasshopper erradication the sum of $225,- 000. Congress then appropriated $1,- 000,000. This money has all been spent making necessary this additional appropriation. If the second million is completely used, we will spend during 1937 the Sum of $2,225,000 to light these pests.
