BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
Minor Scenes and Incidents sketched
on the spot.

Washington papers record with express
sions of regret the retirement from active
service Of Mr.. Henry @. Hayes, the Oldest
reporter at the national capital. Advanc-
ing years and ill-health are given as the
cause. Mr.. Hayes reported the proceed
ings Of the senate for years back for the
New York Associated Press, for the United
Press and Of late for the New York Sun.
mo newspaper man." says the Washing
ton Post, lever had a more complete grasp
Of the situation in the senate than Mr..
Hayes. His understanding Of the rules Of
the body, his acquaintance with and his
perception of the limitations Of senators,
his knowledge Of congressional legislation,
obtained by making a life study of It, and
his long experience as a reporter who not
only chronicled the actions Of legislators,
but also sought the motives which inspired
the action, all combined to render his
Judgment upon anything respecting the
senate practically infallible. Mr.. Hayes is
a fine stenographer, and, above all, knows
how to make a news report from his short
hand notes-a sort of ability possessed by
few stenographers. He always uses a pen,
both in taking and in transcribing his
notes, as he never learned to operate a
typewriter. While he works with delibera-
tion and appears to be working slowly, he
really accomplishes a prodigious amount
of work. Once while reporting the pro-
ceedings OF a state political convention in
New York he furnished to his newspaper
in one day eleven columns of matter
about $4,000 words-all written in long
hand"

Made the House a Business Body


Kansas City Star Qnd.).
Mr.. Reed did more than any other man
who has occupied the speakers chair to
make the house a business body. He was
a believer in strong, somewhat arbitrary
rules and he was fearless in applying them.
Before his time it was customary for the
house to excuse ill-advised legislation on
the ground that the body was unwieldy.
Mr.. Reed had a theory that the responsible
heads OF the party in the house could at
least prevent undesirable legislation, even
II they could not always put through the
bills that should be passed. He believed
that at least the sins Of commission could
be avoided. He demonstrated his theory,
but he made many enemies by his meth
DDS. He incurred the enmity of some Of
his fellow republicans. He was not a
politician. Although his ambition was
known to be the presidency, he was never
a self-seeker. He refused to do a thing
for political effect that he would not be
willing to do on its own merits. Few men
attain great political distinction by such
a course. Reed was essentially a great
man. He was vastly superior to many
who refused to give their help to the fur
therance Of his ambition. He was inca
pable Of small things. He was honest
through and through and he never lost his
hold on the people.

President Roosevelt has lived in incon-
