This is Il busy age, an age in which men
are obliged to quicken their pace in order
to keep abreast of the hurrying. rushing
crowd. The days of so called elegant leisure
and deliberate ease are past, and even those
who are not obliged to work for their living
work for their pleasure. That is to say,
they hurry somuch in taking their pleasure
that it ceases To remain a pleasure and be
comes instead thereof toll. In fact, so
rapid has the pace become in Europe that
people no longer even allow proper time for
the most sacred of all human sentiments
namely, grief for those who have passed
over to the majority, and the length of the
period rs well "a the extent of the outward
manifestations of mourning are now re-
duced To Il minimum.
This has been particularly noticeable
during the past few months. and the old
conventional rules and regulations of So
ciety on the subject are becoming obsolete.
The classes" in Europe are to n certain
extent encouraged in this course by the ex-
ample set by the reigning and princely
families. who, in proportion as their con-
stitutional power diminishes, endeavor to
counterbalance its loss by Increasing their
social influence. Court mourning never
extends over a few weeks The obseGuies
of the dead potentase are scarcely conclud-
ed before the festivities in connection with
his successors accession commence, and

Representatives Springer and Holman still
cling to the hope tha, they win retain their
cd chairmanships, in spite Of the very gen.
srsl belief that William L. Wilson and 10
srph ID. sayers will be their successors.
Sei,her Springer nor Holman we're ever
qualified for the important positions
they have held under Speaker Crisp.
They secured them as the result of
trade on the one hand and
the Democratic desire on the other hand to
have treasury watch dog at the head OF
the committee on appropriations. As is
yell known both men were conspicuous
failures. Springer never possessed the
qualities Of leadership, nor the ready re-
sources Of mind, which are so necessary in
the head Of the most important committee
Of the National House. Much Of the work
that should naturally have fallen to him
.was, perforce, performed by other party
leaders. Asa watch dog Holman was
far from = success. His craftsmanship
was Of the penny wise and pound foolish
order. He was too busily engaged in
looking after few cents on various APP
uopriations to note how rapidly the dol
lars were slipping by him and was sur
prised At the close of that Congress to find
that its appropriations were larger than
those of any preceding Congress in the
81 80 n a pfpv hx.tpO la rah
In excess of a billion dollars. At the time
Of the terrible Ford theatre disaster the
Journal pointed out that the man
primarily responsible for its horrors was
Watch Dog" Holman. 1t was his penu-
rious refusal to provide suitable quarters
for the over-crowded departments at Wash
ington that made necessary the occupancy
of the Ford building long after its danger
Gus condition had been officially noted.
Mr.. Holman was captious and aggressive,
but always open to Cancellation. if he could
gain anything for his own constituents by
such = course. As eX-Spesker Reed once
noted he was always careful never to bite
anything near home" The unanimity with
which Mr.. Holmaus fellow members have
advised Speaker Crisp to supplant him at
this session with more suitable man. is
thought TO accord well with the inclinations
of the presiding officer. There seems to be
little probability that Mr.. Crisp will an
nounce his committees until the Wilson
bill now under debate, is finally disposed Of
Both Mr.. Springer and Mr.. Holman,
through their friends, have been very ac-
tive IN calling the attention of the speaker
to the fact that the changes said to be con-
templated in their committees involve the
replacing of two Northern by two Southern
men They have yet to learn how little
weight such an argument is likely to have
with q Southern Bourbon. Mr.. Crisp
is very successful in maintaining a
Sphinx like silence, but the members of the
National House appear to be very generally
of the opinion that both Mr.. Springer and
Mr.. Holman are destined to be shelved.
