Dingley is often heard from in congress
and Tom Reed sums him up IN this way
."Now, you know, Ding1ey has got the
smallest head OF any man in the house Of
representatives but it is chock full Of
useful information and nothing else.
There is not an atom Of waste room In
it, and all his brain Is given up to busi-
ness. Dingley never did anything that
was notsuseful in all his life. When he
lay iii the cradle he was thinking out
problems in Euclid, and when he was q
boy he found more pleasure in studying
his lessons than he did in play. Why,
Dingley would rather take a stt1bby old
lead pencil and figure out on the back Of
an envelope what rate of duty the Ro-
mans imposed on Persian wool than sit
on narrow sofa III dark room with q
pretty girl"
