II is difcnlt-indeed imp0ssible-to
predict what sort of speaker a man will
make unless he has been actually tried
in the chair. for many qualities are
necessary % the ideal presiding officer
Of a large, able, faGtioas, tumultuous
assembly besides mental force. Among
these may be enumerated: Goodness Of
head. clearness Of vision, a perfect
hearing apparatus. affability of man
ner. impertnrhshility Of temper, steadi-
ness of nerve, judicial impartiality,
dignity Of department, imposing per-
sonal presence, unquestioned integrity,
absolute honesty of purpose, moral and
physical courage, decision of character,
with a thorough knowledge Of parlia-
mentary law and Of the practical work
ings Of congress and the entire machin-
cry Of the federal government. I am
aware that these qualifications consti-
tute a very eve standard and that few
can measure up TO it. Consequently
there have been few great speakers, and
there never will be many. But the above
standard should be appropriated as
nearly as possible.
To understand the situation. let 1t
be understood that a large proportion
Of the public business is transacted in
COMMITTEE Of the whole house, " over
which committee the speaker does not
preside, Init for which be selects the
chairman.
For some reason, which / do not
know, Speaker Reed frequently APP
pointed Hopkins to preside, and most
frequently appointed Sherman. I'm
questionably these two are among the
principal competitors PLAYING for the
colossal stake.
They are both fine specimens Of phys
ical and intellectual manhood and in
the flower of their years. Hopkins was
born in 1916, and is now serving his
fifteenth year in congress. Sherman
was born in 1855, and Is now serving
his eleventh year. Hopkins is a leading
member Of the committee on ways and
means and Of the committee on mer.
chant marine and fisheries. Sherman is
chairman Of the committee on Indian
affairs and member Of the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce.
Both are lawyers; both college bred
men; both able debaters. They are
much the same size, both about 8 feet
10 inches, Hopkins being slightly the
taller Of the two. In weight they are
not far apart. Sherman appearing to be
somewhat the heavier, tipping the
scales at about 1870.

Hog markets everywhere were weak

sympathy with the universal depression
went off also, the poor quality having no
little to do with assisting in the toboggan
slide. The quotation here was weak to
cents lower. 1t was a light day for
Thursday, the run of hogs of all kinds
being below either the day previous or
the same day last week. II was expected
that the wagon trade should be light be-
cause of the heavy roads and this was
partially true although there were some
Of this class received and some of them
were of very fair grade and sold well
The bad hauling conditions no doubt af-
fected the car lot shipping also, as it
was difficult to get the hogs from the
country or surrounding feeding pens to
the shipping points. A little more than
800 hogs were yarded and sold, and all
sold early. The quality with the exception
OF one car load from the territory, was
poor, and nothing fancy or even especial
~ attractive appeared. There We're two
cars which sold at the top Of the bulk,
2l2 cents under the days top. All the
bulk range sales were in a narrow limit
of IL cents, showing the tendency of the
tone to pay all the hogs were worth. There
were light hogs and loads sprinkIed with
good figures as possible. The average
for the day was about the same as the
other two comparing days, in fact the
difference In the three days being only
one pound There was a good demand
and buyers would have taken as many
more hogs readily, though better grade

straight, there being few cut-outs or sorts.

sale from this division bearing a piggy
