CAMPAIGN IS IMPORTANT.
Political Fence* Need Repairing—Ru
ral Credits Bill Goet Over Because of
Lack of Time—Wilton the One Pow
erful Man Who Can Keep Seercn Go
ing All Summer.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 9—(Special)
The Democratic majority of the rules
•omiuittee. will not report anything
vliich will mean consumption of time
ind defer adjournment. That Is tile
iresent intention, but something may
inppen to make them change their
binds.
For instance, the proposition to put
hrough a bill for rural credits is mak
tig many friends nnd members of the
•ules committee admit that the rurtl
•redit* measure is strong enough to
nil a caucus. If another Democratic
■aucus is called the rural credits
scheme may be voted down, and it
rill lie voted down If the president
ises his strong arm for that purpose
Hoping For Senate Nonaction.
The Democrats of the house want to
u> home more than they ever did la
heir lives. To many of them this Is
i particularly important campaign.
L'liey are having trouble in securing re
jominations in the primaries, and then
here is the further trouble of secur
njr election next fall. They want to
ro home and make their campaigns,
riie.v want to defend the actions of the
Democratic party and to answer all of
lie complaints made by their oppo
lents.
What they really hope for Is that the
senate will sidetrack the bills that
•ause so much discussion. They would
ike to see a "gentlemen's agreement,"'
vliicli would mean that the house can
>ass the trust bills and the senato
send tlicui to committee to be perfected
Ind then adjourn without final action.
L'liat is a real fine program If they
•ould get the assent of one man.
The One Man Powerful.
You might think that enough pres
sure could be brought to bear upon
my oue individual to get him to con
sent to an arrangement that Is as
pleasing to a vast majority of Demo
crats as this seems to be, but that oue
nan happens to be Woodrow Wilson,
ind he has more power than all the
'.•mocrats combined. The probablli
:ies are that he will not assent to dis
regarding the program that he has
napped out, even If it causes him a
ireat deal of personal Inconvenience
ind he bas to remain In a tent In the
White House grounds for the rest of
;he summer.
We Will Build Embataiel.
So matter bow much fun we poke
it our diplomacy or how much It may
:>e criticised—and some of it ought to
>e criticised severely—we are going to
pave embassies built in a number of
capitals.
This is going to be done notwith
standing the opposition of such men
ps Congressman Wingo of Arkansas,
who protested vigorously against the
appropriation of money for two or
three embassy buildings when the dip
lomatic bill passed the house.
"You can make the arguments that
have been made," said Wingo, "and it
will not be many years before they
will say that the dignity of this great
republic requires that we appropriate
money to buy the grape Juice which
the diplomats drink and the knee
breeches which they wear."
"Puny Foot«d Filibuttor."
Comic opera has furnished us a
"merry war," and various extravagan
zas have amused people in different
theaters, but it falls to the lot of the
house of representatives of the Ameri
can congress to furnish a "pussy foot
ed 111 i buster." Such a change was
made in regard to a bill which now
occupies calendar Wednesday and
blocks all legislation in the house.
The charge has been reiterated sev
eral times, and nobody denies It, and
so it bus gone into the records that a
great legislative body is conducting a
"pussy foQted filibuster."
Cannot Beat Them.
It makes senntors and representa
tives who live on their salaries and
who feel that they cannot afford mo
torcars and chauffeurs somewhat rest
less and peeved when they see govern
ment officials on moderate salaries
whirling through tbe streets *j> auto
mobiles. Nearly every appropriation
bill provides for an automobile for
somebody, and it has been the experi
ence of legislators that the uso of such
automobiles Is never confined to gov
ernment service, but that they nearly
always become "Joy ride wagons" for
the particular official who is fortunate
enough to have control of the machine.
Watted Hi» Tim«.
Jim Mann was trying to explain pa
tiently to Congressman Wingo of Ar
kansas something about tbe embassy
buildings.
"i aai familiar with all that," said
Wingo. "I have read the Record."
"If you have read the Record all
these years you were a busy person,"
said Mann.
"I have wasted a good deal of my
time since I was a young man—read
ing the Congressional Record—I am
free to admit that," rejpopded Wlngo.
IKE ART OF IDLIfi
It Is a PDft of the Indolent Life
of the Leisurely Turk.
WHERE SITTING IS EXERCISE.
In the Orient the Placid Natives Re
gard What We Would Call Loafing
aa a Mark of Respectability—A Trip
In a Caique on the Golden Horn.
One of the first words In the Turkish
language that I learned to recognize
was kyef or kaif. Making kyef was a
very common occupation, judging from
the number of times that I heard the
word used. The dictionary definition
of kycf is "health," "pleasure," Health
and pleasure are not always synony
mous, but they seemed to bo in this
case, for people who said they had
been making kyef always looked both
happy and healthy.
To the average American the idea
represented by the word kyef is about
as foreign as the word itself. You
could not possibly make kyef at a foot
ball game or a horse race or autouio
blllng up to the limit of police regula
tions. One thing soon becomes evident
to the scientific investigator of kyef.
Whatever it may be, kyef Is mado
without haste, without excitement and,
above all things, without noise.
Leisure, idling if you like, has been
reduced to a fine art in the orient.
There is no place in the world where
doing nothing is so respectable. Able
bodied men sit unblushingly at midday
in a coffee house drinking numberless
cups of strong, black coffee, smoking a
nargile ami staring at a chessboard
for hours at a tiin<>. I.nating we call it
In America; in llal.v, d'llce far nieute;
in Turkey, making kyef.
The oriental is slow and easy in his
amusements. lie lingers over his pleas
ures, making them last as long as pos
sible. None too fond of exerting him
self. most of his exercise is taken sit
ting still. The Turkish verb otur,
which means "sit." is much used both
in word and in action. They sit over a
cup of coffee in an out "f door cafe,
they sit under a tree smoking a ciga
rette, they sit for four hours making
you a visit, and they m iy sit the live
long day out in a grassy field or on the
banks of a stream doing nothing at all.
The Turks are fond of outdoors. And
one Is not surprised. The highest point
of Constantinople is Tcliaiulidja, :> hill
that stands a few miles back from the
Scutari landing on I lie Asiatic side.
The view from Ibis lilil is ore whose
beauty casts a spell that I . Is as long
as memory lasts. "See Naples ai.d die"
runs the old saying, but do nof die be
fore you have seen Constantinople
from Tchainlidja.
There are many open neuis in ami
about Constantinople to which the peo
ple resort on high days and holidays,
the brilliant colors of the native dress
standing out against the greenest green
and the bluest blue of the natural
background And everywhere the daz
zling sheen of water, the silve.y. calm
surface of the Marmora stretching
away In the distance and the blue
winding Bosporus at our feet. There
Is a hush about a Turkish holiday
gathering which is always like a Sun
day. Caiques glide noiselessly by, peo
ple sit in groups or saunter about on
the shore, like the figures in n picture,
everybody making kyef in his own way.
One of the popular resorts for great
numbers of people is the Sweet Wa
ters of Europe, a small stream of fresh
water flowing into the upper part of
the Golden Horn The best and easiest
way to reach this place, the stranger
is told, is by rowboat up the Golden
Horn. This "best and easiest" way is,
however, a bit trying to the nerves. I
Galatn bridge, from which the boats
leave, is the busiest spot in Constanti
nople. You are jostled from before and
behind, screamed at in all the lan
guages you ever heard of and frighten
ed nearly to death before you get down
the rickety little stairway leading to
the landing. Nothing can really hap
pen to you, but you do not know that
until afterward. If you should I'W!
into the water you would be promptly
fished out by friendly hands amid
Mashallabs! in all the tones of the
chromatic scale. Down below, you are
warn«*l within an inch of your life
about all the things you must not do
in the caique. A caique is a small
rowboat, the daintiest, most graceful
little craft in the world, but it was
made to tip over.
If ,vou get away from the lauding
without being spilled out into the
water you breathe one sigh of relief,
but not more than one. for the Golden
Horn Is very narrow and very busy,
and any moment you may look up at
the prow of a steamer bearing down
upon you at full speed. Behind you.
and to the right of you. and to the left
of you. are clumsy freight boats man
aged by seolding boatmen. And just
here one of your oarsmen does what
he Las forbidden you to do—stands up
In his place. Wildly gesticulating, ho
scolds back in picturesque Turkish at
a careless steersman who has nearly
tipped you over. After you have had
this experience a few times aud have
escaped with your life you cease to
mind it.
Quiet conies at last, and long, smooth
stretches of shining water. The motion
of a caique is perfect. It glides over
the water with no effort at ail. The sil
very light of the eastern sun. the mag
ic touch of the soft south wind, the
voice of the muezzin calling to prayer
from the minaret in the distance
charm you into the land of the lotus.—
