The Oregonian bureau Sunday dishes

Sons of great men oft remind us
We may make our lives sublime,
And with fathers push behind us
We can get there every time.
The mex role essayel by the "big
stick" will be to chasten those in high
official place who have been practicing
nepotism.
One phase Of the recent graft dis.
closure in the Agricultural Department
was that Secretary Wilson had retained
in the position of private secretary for
nine years his son, Jasper Wilson, and
that last summer he sent the latter on
a mission to Alaska, ostensibly to in.
vestigate certain alleged violations of
the game laws, but, when one considers
that it was a delightful summer trip,
at government expense, and that Jas
per was enabled thereby to give per.
sonal attention to a private investment
in mining property, all the while draw,
ing his salary as private secretary for
duties supposed to be performed in
Washington, the conclusion is inevitable
that Father Wilson was good to Son
Jasper. The expense or young Wilson'S
junket was about $500, which the gov.
eminent paid.

Thrifty Coast Members

An instance is recalled of a member
Of congress from a Pacific coast state
who l. now serving in the house for a
second time. When first elected he
brought 20 Washington a young man
who had barely enough money to nav
his expenses to Washington, but he
brought him here under promise that
he would pay him 600 a month and
would buy him a typewriter. When
the poor fellow reached Washington
with Only enough money 20 pay his
board he was instructed 10 buy his own
machine and when payday rolled around
the member deducted $40 from the
promised 800. But the poor fellow
was a stranger in Washington, was 5000
miles from home and he was compelled
TO submit.
Another member Of congress from a
Pacific coast state has been regularly
drawing 800 a month for clerk hire
oot he has seldom spent any Of H. He.

rapid, though somewhat faulty. but ~
Is thrifty. Another coast member. ,o.

Of Arkansas. George Cabot Lodge is
assistant clerk of his fathers commit.
tee, and Reed Knox, son Of the new
senator from Pennsylvania, has already
been installed as messenger of his faith
er's committee at $1440.
There were two places at the dis.
posal of Senator Gamble. One went
to his son, r. A. Gamble. the other to
his nephew. This son, by the way, is
a student at Port Deposit, Md. sena.
tor Simmons Of North Carolina has no
son, so he made his daughter clerk of
his committee. John Warwick Daniel,
senator from Virginia, has John War
wick Daniel, jr., as clerk Of the commit,
tee of which he is chairman.
Mitchell Family Taken Care OF.
Both United States senators who
have been tried before federal courts
and found guilty ON SERIOUS indictments
are believers in the practice of nep-
otism. Senator Mitchell of Oregon car
ries his grandson, John Mitchell Handy,
as clerk of the committee on intero-
ceanic canals; for his son Hiram he pro.
cured a commission in the army. W. s..
Burton is messenger Of the committee
of which Joseph Ralph Burton is chair.
man.
The most remarkable ease Of "sena.
torial courtesy" is that of Senator j..
+. Alice, of Delaware, who appointed
his son as his committee clerk, and then,
having another place as messenger at
his disposal, gave it to a relative Of his
colleague, Senator Ball.
It is more difficult to locate nepotism
among the clerks of the house, for the
names of many clerks are not given.
But two notable instances stand out in
the Congressional Directory, one that
Of Dan A. G%rosvenor, who is clerk of
the merchant marine committee OF
which his brother is chairman; the
other that of L. T. McCleary, SON of
Representative McCleary Of Minnesota,
who is clerk Of his fathers committee.
1t is to be noted, however, that Victor
i. Ricketts, is chairman Of the com
mittee on printing, while Oscar Rick
etts is foreman Of printing at the gov.
eminent printing Office. Ricketts, is an
odd name; it viii be hardly be regard
ed as a coincidence.
But this is only touching the high
places; the foregoing gives but a scant
idea Of the extent to which nepotism is
praeticed at the capitol. Many rela
tives have been appointed clerks, mes
sengers or in other capacities, but not
being o or daughters and having diff
ferent names, the relationship does not
appear Of record.

Rake-oh on CLERK Hire.

Coupled with this practice Of nepo-
tism is another interesting practice re-
sorted TO by senator's and members and
by some very prominent men in either
branch Of congress. Every senator, IL
chairman Of n committee, is allowed n
stated salary for a committee clerk, and
usually an additional amount for assist.
ant clerks and messengers; every chair.
man OF a committee in the house has a
similar allowance. Senators who are
not ehairmen are paid 1925 each month
for clerk hire, and members Of the
house receive 900 a month. The com.
mittee clerks draw their own salary,
but clerks OF private secretaries 10 sen.
ators or members Of congress are paid
by the senator or member, and each
senator or member monthly signs a
statement saying he has paid the full
amount drawn by him for the purpose
stated, namely, for clerk hire. But
many and many a clerk in Washington
gets only half the allotted amount;
many more do not receive even $50 a
month, and a case is often cited Of a
well-known congressman from New
England who pOcketed his $lOO a month
and wrote his letters with a pen. But
he stated in writing 10 times a year
that he vas paying 900 a month for
clerk hire. There is more downright
graft in connection with the employment
OF clerks and secretaries around con.
gress than will ever be told, but if a

the point of the sizzling iron struck
Coston on the back of the hand, burn

of the third and little fingers. The
wound was very painful one, but as
it wasswell cauterized by the hot iron,
should heal readily.

You never knew your Aunt Lucy.
but her portrait and what you have
heard of her must tell you that she
was an uncommon woman. She was
very handsome, very talented, very
rich. and she had scores of lovers. I
had adored her for years, but the idea
that she could ever care for me, ex-
coping as a friend, had never dared
to cherish. was modest man-too
modeSt-as she told me often in later
life.
"one summer, in the old stage
coach days, her father put her in my
charge to make two days journey.
We had to ride all night. There were
nine in the coach. Her place was just
