REDE'S RISE TO FAME
New York World.

New y OK w ora.
Three DAYS .sufficed to make J. Adam
Bede. congressman from Minnesota, IA
nous. On Wednesday few outside his own
state knew Of his existence; on Thursday
he made a funny speech in congress. On
Saturday he appeared is the star after
dinner performer at metropolitan dinner.
Mr.. Bede's success recalls the flaming
into fame of J. Proctor Knott of Ken
lucky, who found the then unknown name
of Duluth in a river and harbor bill and
praised it as the zenith city Of the UNI
sailed seas in mock heroics never sur
passed Knott became famous in week:
Duluth, now a thriving city Of $4,000
people, is rather proud of his sarcasm.
Does It pay in politics to be hurnor-
list? Knott was man OF ability, gov
ernor Of Kentucky as well as a congress-
man, yet is remembered by phrase.
Poor Sunset Cox, far above the average
New York representative Of to-day. never
got credit for his ability because he was
known as a funny man. And even after
death he lived in monumental bronze SO
caricatured as to lure laughter-an effigy
whose eviction from the place where it
stood reckoning to a newsboy for 'pape
is one of the first fruits of the subway.
Tom Reed was master Of mordant
sarcasm which made him feared in debate.
Was it help or hindrance? Did it aid hin,
to be speaker? Did it keep from the
presidency the ablest man Of his day in
public life?
It might seem from many instances
that it is misfortune for statesman to
be witty. Yet the giant frame of Lincoln
thrusts itself into the problem-a man
truly great, who was helped to success by
his gift of homely wit. Perhaps the ex-
PLANTATION is that Mr.. Lincoln never told
story in public simply to make people
laugh-alwaSs to illustrate point of seri-
Gus Importance.
