There were 57 members of Con

may havu to be a regular investi

be so easy. What officialdom fears
Is that Scott's side of the story will
give the country the impression
that the capital hasn't got any.
This -wouldn't bo fair. A great

All tho same, none but very un
sophisticated Washlngtons are un

naughty. They look on it lndu
gently but are quite conscious tin
the "provinces" are extremely apt
to raise a howl If they find out
about It.
