imagine one reason why these and
other very busy Senators are charged
with coldness and with upish-
ness or bluntness is that those who
make the charges have met the Senators
only at the Capitol. Really that is the
poorest place TO tee. them If you wish
TO form judgment OF their characters.
There they are beset by all sorts of dis
tr.ctions. The buster the Senator the
more likely his influence is to be sought
+ by every Tom, Dick or Harry who has
private interest in some public meas
ure. At the Capitol the Senator has
to be constantly on guard. II he pokes
his buttonhols outside the chambe
somebody Is sure to jab q thumb into
IL and If he once takes down his
shieldhe IS likely TO be struck in
fatal spot. The result is that at the
Capitol you see the Senator, bat sel-
dom see the man. The home Is the
place to find the character. In this
sanctuary the man feels that;sense of
security which III axes him lay aside his
armor. The Capitol is also bad place
to talk business with a Senator. Os-
tensibly ii is where the law-msker
transacts all his public business.
theoretically be lays aside his obss of
Office and thoughts OF public business
when he goes from under the great
dome on the hill. But really and prac-

The most successful lobbyists know
this and their faces are seldom seen
about the Capitol.
