Bill's necktie is climbing' over his collar, hut no one dares to smile, for he is carrying a well-oiled harness tug in his brawny right hand Hanging the tug suggestively over the corner of the mahogany desk, he takes his place on the costly Ispahan rug, thrusts out big chin truculently, and opens the proceedings with a few well-chosen words. Thus Simmons The House Committee informs me that after last night's session some of the hollow-stemmed glasses were full of cigarette ashes, and that there were cigar stubs in the silver- plated champagne-coolers Now, I want it distinctly understood that If I catch any dollar-besetted financial degenerate up to tricks like that I shall dust 'his swallow-tails so that be will eat his meals off the onyx wantelpiece for the next week and then I shall kick him several para- sangs down the street Do you get me?'

Then the grim fmstructor goes on: "What is a Big Mnterest*" "A corporation that contributes liberally to our campaign fund," says Senator Redneck, with a know- ing smile. "Wrong!" booms Simmons.
