WI WILSON. Virginia, TO that
important position. and the retirement of
Holman from the chairmanship of the aI,-
preparations. II IS not that Wilson has
been appointed. but that Springer has
been dropped. Springer himself does not
understand it. and says it is taking him
from subject that he has studied ami
putting MIN 10 work on one that he knows
Comparatively little of-for he has been
made chairman Of the banking and cur
rency comm. tee
Look at the Leader.
Wilson is a gentleman, scholar, and
statesman OF the highest Democratic type
clean and brainy. To look at him from
the house galleries no one would suspect
him Of being leader OF men. Inphysique
he Is small both in height and in girth
And he seldom speaks. His face is keen
ald intellectual; his features are regular
His eyes are kind yet sharp. His chin is
firm like his mouth, which is concealed
behind large sandy and gray mOustache
His movements are quick and precise His
dress Is neat and quiet His hands and
feet are small and shapely. He sits in the
third section on the left of the speaker,
half way back. When he sits down he
finds comfortable position, and will re-
tain it for long time He is a good lis
tener. He prefers 10 listen. but when he
speak he always has a good audience.
And Holman Is Left Out.
But HOlman's retirement is a puzzle to
many. also. Why the Watchdog of the
treasury should have been deposed from
the very position where he could most eff
fectually watch is question that is not
yet answered. Besides there is a differ
ence in the compensation given. Springer
gets highly important position-the head
of the banking and currency-while Hol-
mans most important post is, now, chair
man Of the Indian committee. 1t is the
supposition that Holman is satisfied and
prefers place at his time of life where
he will not have so much responsibility.
