OUT OUR WAY By WILLIAMS , Just a week more in which to finish tlwit shopping. We wo not sure Hint juzz is dead but if it is, we know wher$ it has gone. i - -- - - - - - ' Sophistication is just n misfortune that makes you harder to entertain. Perhaps a necessity can best be defined as anything the neighbors can have without arousing your envy. The father who laments the way his son drives the family car ai)d uses it as a joy-riding vehicle can prob ably recall the days when the family driving team suf fered similar' trcutment for a similar purpose a generation ago..' : ";",: 5 ' i,;; - ! ; Bynkerlrofomninnd !0-year senlonccs for robbers. That's a sensible idea but it's not the length of the sentence but the tijne they stay that should count. Pardons and paroles are justified in many instances, perhaps,' but if they were considerably decreased it would be one .means of reducing (l'imol in Imo-iI-p i .'.im' i. . ' ' ! -,( ( DAWKS STILL AT IT. Charlie Dawes, known during business hours as vice president of the United States, still thinks that the senate rules Mof procedure are bunk, lie hasn't changed a bit since last March when he.told the members so to their faces, and though lie no longer has an opportunity to repeat the same story to the same hearers, he finds plenty of chances to tell voters all about it and does. , As an example, just before the opening of congress he spoke to the Ilepubliean Women's Clubs of Illinois, in' a Chicago meeting: ' "Just suppose that the chairman of a woman's ' J club were to announce that any lady could talk as , long as she pleased on a cure for rheumatism or the boundaries of A.ei baijan. The women would think it an ill-limed joke, for a minute. Then if that really happened, they'd agree that the chair man was mentally unbalanced. ',"l!ut the United States senate, alono of all the great deliberative bodies of the earth, has the right to - unlimited debate. Deliberative, ban. ... . The senate passed 1(10 bills in 1(10 minutes. Not time to read their titles. And they call it a de liberative body. . . J" ' So the battle rages on, and we have at least one iniiii in puljic office who admits that the senate is not the lioly-ol'-holies that some of the jealous members would have us believe. Dawes will not get far right now with his reform program but he will be a most valuable watch dog when filibustering gets stalled, and he' should therefoie be a great aid to sensible legislation.
