Ihe Late senator tnan one occasion
Hoar of bringing some OF
these little Office holders down to their
proper level Only little over year
ago, the senator, having business at the
navy department, called on bureau
chief of the pompous, Indifferent kind.
This chief did not raise his head when
the senator entered, or respond to the
latter's pleasant "good-morning," He
went on with his writing, and about ten
minutes afterwards raised his head and
found the senator seated at an opposite
desk engaged in writing.
Stimulating surprise, he nonchalantly
greeted Mr.. Hoar with "How are you
senator? Can do anything for you?"
mo, sir; only dropped in to write a
few letters" replied the senator, in his
mildest tone. Then, pressing button,
he summoned messenger and sent his
card to Secretary Moody. In about ten
seconds the secretary came rushing OUT
with hands outstretched, exclaiming:
why, the top of the morning to you,
senator. You are just the man want to
see." He ushered the senator into his
Office, where they had more than an
hours conference.
After the senator left, the bureau chief
was summoned, and when he came out
of Mr.. Moody's Office he looked like the
proverbial go cents"

would not welcome a promotion to the
senate. 1t has been described as the
"Millionaires' club" but that is not a
fair designation. There are many very
wealthy men in the senate, but they did
not get there because of theiE wealth.
There are too many notable examples III
the country of rich men failing to buy
their way into the senate to warrant the
assertion that wealth Is requisite to
membership in that body. Some Of these
rich men are inclined to paraphrase the
Biblical quotation, and declare that 1T
is easier for camel to go through the
eye OF a needle than for rich man to
enter the United States senate"
Some of the most influential and sue
cessful legislators in the upper house OF
congress are, and were, men of compar-
atively small means. The late Senator
Hoar was a striking example Of a man
whose devotion to his senatorial duties
kept him poor. Senator Allison, prob
ably the strongest man on the repub-
ilcan side to-day. is not wealthy man,
and on the democratic side men like Ba-
con, of Georgia; Berry, of Arkansas;
Morgan, of Alabama, ard Daniel, OF Vir-
ginia, are all men of very moderate
means, some Of them having but little
income outside their salaries as sena
tors. On the other hand, wealth is not .
bar To success In the senate, % slime OF
the men most famousdn that body hays
plenty of this worlds goods.

"Chauncey de Peach" He has kept up his
reputation as a charming after dinner
speaker but he has also proven that his
merits lie great deal deeper. He has
demonstrated distinct ability on the
floor of the senate. and some OF the most
eloquent addresses and sound argu-
ments made on the great questions that
have arisen in the past six years were
delivered by him.
MIR. Depew is an unusually well pre-
served and handsome man. To some ex-
tent he has been one of the show
pieces" of the senate. In spite of his 70
years he carries himself with an almost
youthful jauntiness, and his dress Is al
ways perfect. When about to make a
speech in the senate he dresses for the
occasion in the regulation black frock
coat, buttoned in statesmanlike style
about his form. He is the cynosure Of
all eyes in the gallery.
The man talked of as his successor
from New York is eX-Gov. Frank 5.
Black. one OF the most famous epigram-
lists in America He has a close second
in Representative Hamilton, of Michi-
gan in the house, but Blacks epigrams
have wider circulation and were espe-
cially notable in his speech at the re-
publican Chicago convention last June,
when he placed President Roosevelt's s
name in nomination. Mr.. Black is tail,
thin gentleman, wears glasses and has
rather long hair that clusters about his
forehead and face giving him tho an
pearance Of typical poet.

But two days more remain for can didates in the last election to file with the town clerk statements of their ex- penses. So far but three or four have complied with the law and how some of them are going to live out of their salaries is something nobody can tell. Henry Peck, candidate for senator, got there. but it cost him $514.50. The sal ary IS $500. Unless MT Peck has some other income. and 1t is hinted that he has. he will find it hard to get along on his income next year.
