The Strongest Man in the House
An Indiana Editors Impressions Of Con-
gressman Reed.


editorial Correspondence of the Lawrenceburg
Ind, Press)
II were asked to pick out the man Of larg-
est congressional calibre, should say at once,
Reed of Maine. Others may excel him in
scholarship or knowledge OF the legislation Of
the past-as Holman does-or in familiarity
with special branches. But no one equals him
in power on the floor. Keifer OF Ohio, the last
Speaker, is big and clumsy, and looks like
man who had been thoroughly thrashed and set
down. and yet proposed to brass it out. He
and Hiscock started in last session for the Re
publican leadership, bus Reed is leader by Oi-
vine right. Sitting in his seat where Just the
contour of his face can be aeen from the gall
leries, Reed looks like an over-grown boy. His
face looks like big baby face, and there is a
curious look of infantilo habbiness about It.
But when you are close to him you see the
clear and controlling spirit in his eyes. His
voice has the startling, vibrant, reedy quality
of the low notes Of carionet, and when he
ravels the tangles OF the proceedings or knocks
the lighter brains right and left, everybody
hears every word, and listens to hear. II
were on the floor 1 would not care to run
against this Intellectual porcupipe, or perhaps
more exactly, this flaming sword of the tree Of
the knowledge Of good and evil. 1t is not often
that physical giant carries brains equal to his
weight, bat here is one, and gladly pay hon.
age to that which seems to stand on the floor
without peer.

The sudden death of Mr.. Thomas Clark of this
city, from pneumonia, has caused feeling of sad
ness among his many friends that will not soon be
allayed He was loving husband, a kind and In
dulgent father, generous friend, and true
Christian. He was at the time of his DEATH "A
years OF age and was a good type Of the 'od
school,, being honest and upright in all his deal
