HISTORIANS PLAGED RIGHT BY MEMBERS Barnum, It Seems, Lived 100 Years Too Soon, Party Is Told. o (Continued From First Page) the President's troubles with Congress and the business situation for the spot- light. To the accompaniment of rhyme and music, a weird procession of bespangled admirals, tinsel-laden diplomats, neo-statesmen, elder-state: men, patrioteers, Indian chiefs, lobby- ists, ‘foot ball stars, political monstrosi- ties and humbugs-at-large passed in colorful review as the club presented its impressions of the Hoover administra- tion’s accomplishments with a forecast of the future. The approaching will achieve naval parity, the guests were assured, by mcasuring crulser strength with a magic yardstick—the “same yardstick that was used to place agriculture on a parity with manufac- turing.” The yardstick, brought for- ward in an impressive case in response to demands that it be exhibited, turned out_to be wholly invisible and incom- prehensible, “just like the American foreign ; olicy.” The Hoover penchant for naming commissions of all kinds to ferret. out facts and deal with troublesome ques- tions confronting the administration did not escape attention. The commi sion-a-month club_considered a_motion s “before this becomes -minute club.’” no neglect of prohibition. Mr. Hoover's handling of the “noble experiment” and his attempts to make Washington “the model dry city of America” were described in” a liberal adaptation of Longfellow's epic, en- titled: “The Song of Firewatha, in the Land of Many-Hah-hahs.” The Presi- dent’s crime commission was presented with a problem when a bootlegger, in- vading the assembly to solicit orders for Scotch, rye, gin, champagne or anything you want, was held up and relieved of his wares by a hi-jacker. In response to * for margins” from their broker: distinguished guests arose to make their bows. “Amos n' Andy” arrived just in time to lend their advice to the solution of the busi- ness situation. The Caraway lobby in- quiry was portrayed 11 a recital of Ar- kansas justice. The fate of the Demo- cratic party was foretold in a duet sung by impersonators of John J. Ras- kob and Jouett Shouse, their theme being that the Democrats are always far ahead in the yes- before an elec- tion. arms conference Historical Defects Corrected. Shades of venerated historians ap- peared to correct defects of history in the light of present day circumstances. A revised edition of historic presiden- tial utterances was translated into the language that Mr. Hoover would em- ploy. President Coolidge's famous T do not choose to run” statement Was interpreted into “There’s four tough years ahead. Time to pack up.” o President Hoover “had his inning’ before the evening was over, but in accordance with the ancient club"rule that “reporters are never present his speech was not reported. Other speeches were made by Mayor Walker of New York and Senator LaFollette of Wi entitled “Treats and Trea- ties or the High Cost of Goodwill" was thrown on a screen at the end of the dining hall. Tt portrayed the hard- ships of a “goodwill ambassador” in Washington. At the close of his visit, the ambassador, swathed in bandages, poarded his boat at & Washington wharf to return to his own country. e club offered its own unvarnished version of the recent episode wherein Senator Hiram Johnson of California found himself the single exception among the members of the Senate for- eign relations committee invited to the White House dinner to Ambassador Dawes, and in the same breath the min- strels managed to convey their respects to Senator Brookhart of Iowa, Who re- cently startled the country by testifying that something stronger than tea was served at a Wall Street party he at- tended three years ago. Just as the dinner began a tremen- dous crash was heard in the offing, two members rushed into the well, and as the startled guests looked about anx- jously for an explanation, President Roy Roberts of the Kansas City Star exclaimed: “Great Heavens! moise?” Club member—T'll bet they're keep- ing Hiram Johnson out of this dinner by an inadvertence. ‘Another member—Not at all. They're Keeping out Senator Brookhart, and it's o inadvertence. Harry F. Sinclair, the multimillion- aire ofl magnate recently released from the District of Columbia jail entered, carrying a grip in one hand, a gun ove S whoulder, "and shouting “Where is Where is he?” “Good morning,” said a club member, *it seems to me I've seen your picture M the papers.” B “Of course, you have,” retorted Sin- clair, “I am Harry F. Sinclair, the well known pharmacist, and I've just checked out of the District of Colum- | bia Hotel de Hoosegow.” “Whom are you hunting with that in? = ‘m looking for the guy who said vou can't convict a hundred million dol- | Jars,” said Sinclair. Lincoln “Quoted” on Slavery. The ghost of John Fiske, celebrated | historian, set the club right about sev- | eral little errors of history. To a club | member who wanted to know what it was that Lincoln slavery, he replied: “Lincoln said: ‘The slavery must be met. in a noble experiment which can only be worked out constructively by a searching investigation. Therefore I am appointing a commission to go into the whole labor situation, including slavery, which will report some time, somehow, somewhere. Another member said: “Tell us, Mr Fiske, is it true President Roosevell eally wrote a letter to Senator Tillman saying: ‘Your invitation to the White House dinner to Prince Henry is with- drawn'?” Mr. Fiske replied: “Oh, mo. What Roosevelt really wrote was: ‘My Dear Senator: You have no idea how sur- prised 1 was to read in today's papers that you were not at dinner with me at the White House last night.’ " The tariff fight in the Senate was re- produced in the style of an up-to-date Toot, ball game with all the ballyhoo and trimmings of a champlonship contest. As the opposing teams took the field the announcer over the loud speaker explained the line-up and progress of the game up to the end of the first half: “This is Station WAR, broadcasting the foot ball game played on the Senate gridiron between Joe Grundy’s College of Lobbyists and the Democratic-Insur- gent team, champions of the Western Conference, Believe me, folks, they sure are running wild today. This coalition team has some pep and players. The score is 54 to practically nothing in their favor. Heads up! Here they are ready 1o go again! Its the coalition’s ball on Lobbyists' 40 per ad valorem line. They're in a huddle, Now they're out. Little Bob La Follette 18 barking signals. There they go. Oh, boy!

Our ships they are slighting, “No more fightin scarcely dare think means; The Navy they're sinking, The Army they're shrinking— Thank God, we still have the Ma- Tines. at He's off to the conference, ‘That London conference, Though he scarce knows what it means.

Lobbied on Monday, Subpoenaed on Tuesday, Sworn on Wednesda! Questioned on Thursday, Threatened on Friday, Welched on Saturday, Featured on Sunday, And that's just the beginning of Old Joe Grundy. Let's give him a song!” After running the team through signals, Coach Grundy told the pglayel#}s: he had a player on the Lobbyist Col- lege team who could “show them how (Aoml;?:::dle a b:u_“;-"wnuam B. Shearer, | an, patriot, "5;,‘"" pal propagandist, press earer, impersonated by a club mem- ber, sang to the tune of * - maid” the following: | "Twas Friday morning when T set And I was not far from the fand " | When I saw Charlie Schwab a-stand- ing on the deck, With a certified check in his hand. Otx tdhtmmhnmlflnes may roll, n e five-five-three may blow, While Schwab and Bardo go skipping to the tops And the lobbyists lie down below. Then Schwab took the check and put it in my hand, For a generous man was he, And I ‘say: “Mister Schwab, twenty-five grand, I will keep your ships un the sea.” for | Then off to Geneva I set sail, Where I handed out my bunk, And 1 sent the results to Mister Schwab by mail— Not a single ship was sunk. Grundy Gives Senate List. Coach Grundy was asked what had | become of the list of “common and | preferred Senators” 'he had promised to give the Senate lobby committee. “On reflection,” said Grundy, “I de- cided that one George Moses in the Republican party was enough.- How- ever, I have in my pocket a list and I| will give 1t to you now.” Grundy sang to the tune of “I Have a Little List”: “As some day it may happen tI . victim must be {aun%l.) e I've gott a little list; I've got a nme‘ lis! Of the Caraways and Heflins who | might well be underground, | , And who never would be missed, who | never would be missed. | There’s the pestilential Harrison, who | argues on the air, And Borah with his waving hands and | irritating hatr, And Howell who is up of dates and floors you with ‘em fat, And Cutting, who on shaking hands, shakes hands wita you like that, And Blease and Black and Bratton, Who on quorum calls insist, They'd none of 'em be missed; they'd none of ‘em be missed. He's got 'em on the list, he's got 'em o the list, # 3 And they'll none of ‘em be missed, they'll none of ‘em be missed! There's the sage of South Dakota of the well known Swedish race, I've got him on the list, I've got him on the list, And there’s King who eats statistics and who puffs them in your face, He never would be missed, he never | would be missed. | There is La Follette, who praises with enthusiastic tone, All governments but this and every party but his own: ‘There’s Copeland with his bag of pills and dose of sassafras, And Swanson of Virginia, who thinks he's Carter Glass, And Pine of Oklahoma has no reason to exist, | They'd none of ’em be missed: they'd | none of 'em be missed.” | “The Gridiron Theater Guild” pre- sented its own version of Eugene O'Neill's famous play “Marco Millions.” The scehe was the court of the Great The drama un- folded the adventures of fol * members family on their way Bull Con entered to the flourish of Oriental music. He was clad as a Chinese emperor, and his court, in East- ern garb, accompanied him, His greet- | Ing by the court was: “Hail, Bull Con, great Bull Con, All the statesmen heed you— Hall, Bull Con, great Bull Con, Politicians need’ you. We know you are the one They depend upon— So— | Let them run, have thefr fun— Rule forever, Bull Con!"” Bull Con called for his “grand vi- zier,” who turned out to be Bishop Cannon. “Ah, my good Bishop Cannon, my faithful grand vizier, what would Buil Con do without you?” said Bull Con. “And what,” Teplied the grand vi-| zler, “would I do without Bull Con?” | “Have vou any good tips on the mar- | | ket?” Bull Con asked. “T still have faith in Methodist pre- | ferred, and Baptist common is not a bad buy. Both have a great future in | the right hands.” Arms Delegates Attend. Four American delegates, en route to London, entered. They were “Marco Millions Stimson, Grand Vizier of the United States”; “Col. David Millions Reed, the Army's naval expert”; “Joe Millions Robinson, the Senate's coall- tion’s naval expert,” and “Charles Fran- | cis Millions Adams, Minister of the Navy.” “Who are the Knights of Pythias in the rear?” demanded Bull Con. | turned out to be Calvin Coolidge. | eratic | Joel T. said Bull Con “No—I'm only a pawn,” was the re- ply. Stimson said he was seeking “parity” in London. « Bishop Cannon remarked: “Parity. Ah, ves. parity begins at home—and ends ‘in London.” “The Patrioteers” was the title of another skit, which revealed the “New Patriots” of the present administration, a hardy band of “self-sacrificing pa- trioteers encamped on the banks of the turgid Rapidan.” Included in_ the list are Stimson, Hurley, Lamont, Mitchell, Newton. “The Ragged Continentals” were another group who had not fared so well in the matter of jobs at the hands of the administration. Among them were Dr. Hubert Work, James Francis Burke, and Col. Horace Mann. They sang a song “All I Got Was ‘Much Obliged to You.'" Coolidge as Rip Van Winkle. Rip Van Winkle, in still another skit, He awoke thinking that he had heard the voice of Wall Street calling him back to the White House. John J. Raskob and Jouett Shouse, directors of the maneuvers of Demo- national organization, imper- sonated by club members, sang_a duet to the tune of “Clementine.” It went in part as follows: Mr. Raskob, Mr. Raskob, everything is going fine; For we Democrats are winning, in this year of twenty-nine. Mr. Shouse, Mr. Shouse, what you're saying may be true, We can win between elections—but that's all we ever do. Oh, but listen, Mr. Raskob, let's be happy now, and bright; Since you've lots and lots of money, everything will be all right. Oh, if money won elections, Al would be a-running yet; But it cost us lots of millions, for the votes he didn't get. Mr. Raskob, don’t you know that all the farmers still are sore? They are with us, they will help us; they will not vote as before. Mr. Shouse, don't be foolish, farmers’ votes are all a myth; Where was your own state of Kansas when the cyclone hit Al Smith? Just remember, Mr. Raskob, all my statements to the press; = Every day 1 wallop Hoover—that will do the trick, I guess. Mr. Shouse, what's the good of all the statements that you wrote? For while we get out the statements, some one else gets out the vote. At a meeting of the club earlier in the day Charles S. Groves, Washing- ton correspondent of the Boston Globe. was elected president. The club elected as vice president Jay G. Hayden, correspondent of the Detroit News. 'J. Fred Essary of the Baltimore Sun was elgcted treasurer and J. Harry Cunningham was re- elected secretary for the fifteenth time. Members of the executive committee chosen were Ashmun N.

Butler, the THE SONG OF FIREWATHA _ (Recited at the Gridiron Dinner Last Night.) By the shores of Gitche Gumee, By the broad Potomac water, ' Once there stood a happy village Filled with merriment and iaughter, Pilled with legends and traditions. Filled with songs so wild and wayward, Of a tribe of glee and gladness, For here dweit the Chief Firewatha, With his bride, the Laughing Water, In this land of Many-Hah-Hahs. Legend still shall tell the story Of the happy days that flowed ‘When the cup within the wigwa Ever offered a refreshment. ‘Unmolested worked the natives, From the corn they brewed potations, From the rye they brewed libations, Herbs like juniper they gathered, Till the tepees rang with laughter In this land of Many-Hah-Hahs. But one evening came the West Wind Blowing grimly from the prairies, From the vale of Palo Alto, From the far-off Rocky Mountains, Blowing coldly as it thundered, “This shall be a model village, Yea, a model for the nation, Ye must drive out Chief Firewatha, And his bride, the Laughing Water, From this land of Many-Hah-Hahs." ‘Then from out the land of Tall Corn Came a glowering chicf named Brookhart, Sniffed of corn and rye their fragrance, Tattled of it to the four winds, Charged the merry Chief Firewatha And his bride, the Laughing Water, Even had seduced the elders Gathered in the lodge of council. Said they forthwith must be banished From this land of Many-Hah-Hahs. So they banished Firewatha, And his bride, the Laughing Water. ‘While the elders, chiefs and warriors Sobbed, “Farewell, O Firewatha.” And the glory of the sunset And the purple mists of evening Went away with Firewatha To the Islands of the Blessed, To the land of the Hereafter From this land of Many-Hah-Hahs. Now it is a model village, Silent is the voice of laughter, Silent is the sound of singing, ‘While the prowling of the snoopers Stirs the ashes of dead lodge fires, Waiting for a sniff or gurgle From within dark-curtained tepees. ‘While the wampum goes for moonshine, And the padlock’s on the wigwam In this land of Many-Hah-Hahs. 7 Buffalo Evening News; Ovid Butler, American Forests and Forest Life; Harry Flood Byrd, Governor of Vir- ginia.
