A CAREER UPON THE BENCH.

In the last two years of his term
he was chairman OF the Judiciary
committee of the senate and later
the opportunity offered itself to go
upon the bench. Ia his modest way,
Judge DeArmond says that this was
another "happsning," because the
gentleman WHO was at first slated
for the judicial place upon the ticket
declined to accept the profsred
honor; but there were other lawyers
in the district to whom the nomina-
tion was not rendered, so that the
ex-senator must have possessed
qualifications which warranted the
esteem of the leaders of his party.
At first he entered upon his duties
for he was elected to the bench
with natural dtffidence, but the re-
cord shows that he made q mo st
admirable Judge, In fact, he proved
so capable upon the bench that he
was suggested as a member of the
supreme court of the state, posi-
ton which he would have accepted
with sincere pride and which he
would have filed with signal ability
This honor did not come 10 him,
though previously he had been ap
pointed one OF the supreme court
commissioners, an office ranking
almost on IA equality with Judge
ship. This appointment was another
Of Judge DeArmond's happenings"
He had argued q case before the
supreme court one day and was
ready 10 take the midnight
train to his home. In the evening
one of the judges called upon him.
rs it absolutely necessary asked
his visitor, that you go home
tonight"
mo" said Judge DeArmond.
Then" said his caller, wait until
to morrow,and II you will accept the
position We viii elect you as enc Of
the supreme court commissioners
Judge DeArmond gave his assent,
and the next morning, as he walked
from his hotel to the courthouse,
shortly after the court had convened,
he YVES mes by the congratulations

have returned him to congress for
his fifth term, after fourth nomi-
nation by reclamation.
The beginnings in a mans career
are always interesting One gets the
impression from talking with Judge
DeArmond that his progress il life
has been a series Of accidental hap
penings, but it is easy to see, when
these apparent accidents are analyz
ed, that they were all in the direc
ton Of progress, and that each step
was the logical sequence of the
preceding event. Judge DeArmond
says that his eu'ry into politics was
accidental, and to-. he vas nominal
ed for the etpte senate because no
ore wasted 70 lun; yet those who
are acquainted with the facts say
that lir. DsArm 1nd-he was not
hen e judge-had the fore sight to
see t-r. bis repub lean opponents
wsre overcond Gent, and that there
was chance for a democrat to be
cleo, eveA i II district supposed
to BIS ov> ~h~lminglv republican

and he was e!e ted

which told him Of his promotion.
HOW He ENTERED CONGRESS.

no" He ENTERED CONGRESS
In his lie there came anotbe,
happening The pathway to a
congressional career opened before
him. He entered the race. Some
years previously be had thought Of
going to congress. Like many a
young lawyer aspiraat, who has little
practice and still less experience, g"
said Judge DeArmoud, recalling his
first attempt to secure a congress
s!onaI nomination, Il thought every.
body who said he was fer me, was
for me, but when the convention
met, l had only the votes of my own
county. This experience rather
cured HIM of what he calls the con
gressional itch, and so when his
opportunity came he was less en-
thusiastic than he might have been
under other circumstances. There
was fight in the convention. 1t
happened that he won and came
to congress, where his career, as
already stated, has been one of con-
slant advancement.
What do you regard, be was
asked, ''as the most interesting and
valuable feature of congressional
life to the congressman HIMSELF"

which first brought him to the
attention of the people of the Dis
trlct of Colum bia When he came
to congress he learned for the first
time that the national government
bore one-half Of the expenses Of the
federal capital He believed that
TINS was wrong, and he entered at
once upon a csmoaiga of attack. He
made the issue clear, acquaiuting
himself in the meantime with the
facts concerning municipal admins
tratlon and taxation in other cili~s.
and buttressing his argument " th
the data thus obtained. He fouua,
however, that large majority Cf the
house did not share his views, and
be accepted the situation phdosophi
cally.
II still have strong convictions
upon subject" he said to a represen
tative of the Post YESTERDAY, "bue [
realize that it will take ground
swell to accomplish a change, and"
he added smilingly, Il do not see
that the ground swell is YET ap

honestly believe that if member of
congress were to make a campaign
upon this issue alone, indor sing the
present systea, he would be defeated
by candidate who oppoped it The
people of the country do not gener-
ally understand that the United

payers of The country"
FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO MISSOURI
Judge DeArmend is not native
of Missouri. He was born in Penn
sylvania. in 1874, and lived for some
time in that state, receiving his edu-
cation at Williamsport Dickinson
seminary. When a young man he
went west, finding home in Daven-
port, Ia. From that place the further
west beck9ned him, and he went
into Missouri, seeking some town in
which he could establish himself and
carve out his future. He knew an
old schoclmate in Sedalia, and that
town attracted him. Small thiogs
influence a mans life, and so 1t was
that one evening, sitting in front Of
the country hotel, he heard the
beauties of Greenfield, in the south
western part of the state, extrava-
Gantly praised, In the direction of

there he settled for some years.
Later, however, he moved over to

law and gradually rising in legal and
