Judge Crumpacker Is a modest man. he
has been backward about making any de-
termined stand for committees In the
House. saying that he can do better for his
friends than he can for himself. Il don
like to recommend myself, SAID Judge
Crumpacker. John Allen, the famous wit,
tells a good story that fits In mere. After
his first term in Congress he returned TO MS

Speaker Cannon's Cabinet IN the Fifty
eighth Congress has been named. 1t Is as
follows:
James A Hemenway, personal represent
alive on the floor and watchdog OF the
treasury"
William p Hepburn, Of Iowa, rough-and-
tumble debater, who is expected to trim
the Democrats when they get unruly.
General Charles III. Grosvenor, Of Ohio,
political prognosticator:
lican whip
Representative Edgar D. Crumpacker, of
Indiana. His duty will be to arouse the
minority when the proceedings become dull
and monotonous. Judge Crumpacker's spe-
cialty is the Acknowledgement OF the negro
I'm the South.
Leader payne will make the customary
motions TO adjourn, and the peppery John
Dalzell. of Pennsylvania, will be used to
irritate the Democrats when occasion re-
Quires.
James NJ. Robinson, Of Fort Wayne. Ind,
a Democratic representative, was the first
of his delegation in Congress to make q
speech In the House at this session. Mr..
Robinson prepared his address during the
recess, and 1t was the intention TO spring
IL upon the lawmakers on the first day or
the session. Speaker Cannon, however, had
been duly advised. and before Mr. Robin
son was able to secure the floor the House
adjourned. Mr.. Robinson was sidetracked
Presidents message. BY this time the Fort
Wayne man had grown impatient He knew
that the House was waiting for his speech,
and he cursed the fates that prevented its
delivery But finally the opportune mo-
ment arrived, and Mr.. Robinson was recog-
nized The Indiana representative occu-
pied the floor only few moments, but his
speech takes up several pages In the Con-
gressional Record. Mr.. Robinson's speech
was gem. He taunted the Republicans
for piling UP a surplus In the treasury.
Without this surplus, he said. there would
have been no scandal in the postal service,
no crookedness In the Interior Department,
the trust evil would not be upon US. Mr..
Robinson proclaimed an idea for which he
should be given credit. 1t was the surplus,
he said, that excited the cupidity of the
thieves. If there was no surplus, he added,
there would be nothing to steal. Mr.. Rob-
inson has ordered several thousand copies
of his speech printed. and will distribute
them in the Twelfth Indiana district.
