Show 7 THE CITIZEN Defines Filibuster What is a filibuster? asked Mrs. Fraley. Has it anything to do with the Filipinos? It has more to do with Buster, Buslaughed Mrs. Buel. What does ter do when you try to put him to bed? What doesnt he do? answered Everything but try to Mrs. Fraley. go to bed. Exactly, replied Mrs. Buel, he filibusters. Its the same way with Mary Jane and Babbie and Emy Louise. When I say, Come, children, Yes, its bedtime, Mary Jane says, more mother, I have got just four s problems to do. Bobbie Bays, Soon $ I finish whittling this end, and Emy Louise says, Ill have my dollies undressed in a minute. Minorities have their rights, I think, so I try to be patient.

Rather childish, isnt it, commentYou wouldnt think ed Mrs. Fraley. congressmen would stoop to it. You wouldnt, agreed Mrs. Buel. I have read that it costs the government $10,000 a minute for a session of congress. It doesnt seem worth while to let my man talk fifteen or twenty hours, but there are cases on record of that being done. These are important days and we need real work done. It seems wicked to fool away time now. said Mrs. Fraley, Doesnt it, while the president and some other citizens are almost sweating blood, trying to help along prosperity. National Republican.
