LITERARY CURIOSITIES.

1t seems rather strange that Mr.
L. M. Hershaw, a department clerk en-
ployed here, should be interested in
contributing constantly to anti-Roose-
welt Negro newspapers. 1t is a well
known fact that Mr.. Hershaw is the
Washington correspondent for an anti
Roosevelt colored paper published in
Boston, and he now has the Washing
ton Bee very largely on his shoulders.
We repeat, it is strange that a man
holding a position under President
Roosevelt should contribute both edi-
toria1ly and otherwise so constantly to
pa pers that are doing everything they
can against the very administration
under which Mr. Hershaw is holding
his office.

sitiOn he now Occapies. Rich
thoroughly educated, close student
and a keen observer of men and affairs
he has already impressed his personality
upon his associates in the House He
is frequently seen seated in the Senate
Chamber following closely the debates
and weighing with we'll balanced judg-
mont the utterances of the potent
grave and reverened Senator'S" Mr.
Longworth is an enthusiast on out door
sports, and, is frequent visitor to the
golf links, as participant in the in
vigorating sport, which affords him
recreation from his duties.
1t is an erroneous opinion among
those not conversant with Congression-
al life, that a representative has only
to answer the roll call, vote when his
name is called, tell, or listen to stories
in the cloak room, and draw his salary.
The average Congressman does more
work than a government clerk. Aside
from his correspondence, his desire to
thoroughly represent his constituents
keeps him busy during the day and
compels him to burn considerable mid
night oil,-in fact many have to can
eel all social engagements to meet the
demand made upon their time. With
but primary instruction in the school
of politics, Mr.. Longworth has advanc-
ed so rapidly, that he is not only an as
tute politician, but a legislator Of un-
questioned ability. The opportunity
may not present itself in the present
Congress enabling him to distinguish
himself among his associates, but his
work in the Ohio Assembly was Of such
character as to give assurance of
particularly bright future. He is an
unqualified advocate of the education Of
the Negro, believing every facility
should be given along educational
lines, to enable the race to cultivate
their faculties to the highest degree,
and that the inexorable mandate Of
law should enforce every right guar
anteed by the Constitution, without re-
gard to race, color or condition.
1t is to men like Mr.. Longworth, who
accept position more to enlarge their
powers of usefulness, than to crafty
selfish ends, that the colored race must
turn for equal and exact justice in
legislation,-men who believe in Re
publican institutions, and favor the
largest degree of liberty consistent
with the good of society and the well
being and maintenance of the rights Of
the citiZens,-men faithful to every
official obligation, during public life,
and with the bravery to do right al
ways, even in opposition to sectional
sentiment. The Longworths from great
grandfather to great grandson have
been men of character, integrity and
convictions, earnest and fearless
the performance of everI duty. pr1-
vate or public, and ever ready to help
the weak and deserving. Mr.. Long.

who had led the charge caused Peter

fell limp to the floor. A glance

piled John firmly.
1T is written in Gods word; If
