With tears in his voice, if not in his eyes, the senectissimus of all U. S.

The duties of snowy-haired, keen-eyed Senator Warren and his Appropriations Committee are to find out the financial needs of the various Departments of the Cabinet, to frame them into bills, to confer and bicker with the House Appropriations Committee, and to guide deftly the resulting bills through Congress.
