Abstract

Last Week in Washington
November 16, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

All the time Washington is really full of human beings going about their business, of suffrage pickets-God bless 'em-going about theirs, of politicians attitudinizing for this world of correspondents and no other. Then comes a day like yesterday when all rites are dropped and our common humanity comes out. If the Republicans think they can block the President, they will have their trouble for their pains. But another man led me, unresisting, to the curb on Pennsylvania Avenue and pointed out to me that if the Republicans really want to force the ratification of the treaties over to the Sixty-sixth Congress, which they will control, they can easily filibuster until next March, when this Congress expires.
