TWO SENATORS

From GLOBE washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20.-The
man who has been chosen to succeed
William E. Mason as junior senator for
Illinois is about as unlike that states
man as it is possible for one statesman
to be unlike another. They are both
veterans in Illinois politics, and both
men have come up by dint of their own
efforts. That is about all they have in
common.
In place of the familiar figure and
features of the rotund Mason-features
and figure always a joy to the cartoon
ist-Will be figure and features which
will puzzle the artists at first to catch
the characteristic traits Of normal
build, Albert ]. Hopkins has been more
distinguished by his coloring than his
form. Probably his earliest recollec-
tons of school, when he went with the
other farmer boys to the little country
school in the edge of Dekalb county,
are of derisive cries of Fred-head" and
''freckles!" Even at the mature age
OF fifty-seven, with the bald part
creeping steadily toward his ears and
q tinge Of gray mingling with the
sandy, there is a strong Renaissance
of that Whitcomb Riley style of boy.
And the placative smile which doubt
less greeted the challenge and was in
tended, if possible, to avert the inevi-
table scrap" has become familiar to
the colleagues who have served with
Hopkins during the last eighteen years
of congress. He would ratheru-avoid
trouble, and the taunt which would
make another hand flash to the sword
hilt closes the gray eyes and reveals
his strong teeth in an expression of
silent mirth. The deep lines back from
the corners of the eyes will be noted
by the artist; and the heavy eyebrows,
something like those which the pic
lures gave Mckinley. This, with the
stiff, dropping mustache, completes the
picture.
AntipodaI to Mason.
AS nothing could be more cratic
than Mason, so nothing could be less
so than Hopkins. The latter acquires
by twenty years of steadily directed
effort what the former won in a fort
night, by whirl Of the political wheel
1t is the hare and tortoise over again,
Notwithstanding that the smile does
make a poor figure for the hare. His
worst enemy will admit that Mason is
bright-at times even brilliant. But
like the hare in the fable, he lies down
and takes a nap before the goal is

AMERICANS IN THE ISLE
OF PINES WILL USE FORCE
They Say the Cuban Government Is
Oppressinu Them

HAVANA, Jan. 20-Three hundred
American citizens property owners
and residents of the Isle of Pines, are
preparing to resist, forcibly if neces-
sary, any further exercise of sover-
eighty there by the Cuban govern
ment. A formal demand has been
protection due to American citizens on
American territory and Mr.. Squiers is
comforting with President Palma
American residents on the island
say they own and occupy more than
two-thirds of the land there. They as
sert shat the Cuban government is
levying oppressive and unlawful taxes
in the Isle of Pines and spending the
proceeds in Cuba. Administration of
justice in the Isle of Pines is said to
be unreliable. They refuse to pay
further taxes to the Cubans and ask
that steps be Immediately taken to
establish a government in the island
under American authority.
HAVANA, Jan. 20.-The government,
while acknowledging that the matter of
the ownership of the island is open
holds that it has de facto control over
the island for the time being at least,
and that it therefore is authorized to
levy taxes and perform other govern
mental functions. 1t is believed that
the United States will approve Of this
position as against the protest of the
American residents who refuse to pay
taxes, although they avail themselves
of whatever protection and privileges
the present government supplies.

PROTECT SMALL SALARIES.
Representative Budd Has Interests oil
Minor Officers at Heart.

Representative Budd, of Two Har-
bors, is the author of a bill to provide
for the payment of surety bond pre-
miums by small municipalities and
school districts.
DR.. Budd says officers of small towns
and school districts are worked an in
justice through the bonding system in
vogue. Many of them receive salaries
of only $50 or SIS per annum and the
premiums on the bonds they are re-
CURED to furnish equals, and, in some
cases, exceed their salaries. County
officers drawing good salaries are re-
imbursed for their bonds, and Dr. Budd
believes that in simple justice the
same rule should apply to all bonded
public positions.

present law simply authorizes the re-
endorsement of fees by county COM
