Moody VIII BE Rescued.

Comment was rife al the Capitol yester-
day on the peculiar situation brought
about in the Supreme Court by the ap-
p0inment TO that tribunal OF Attorney
General Moody, who was indicted into
office Monday. As Attorney General, Mr..
Moody initiated q greater number of anti
trust suits under various statutes than
any OF his predecessors. Numerous Of
these causes. the majority Of which are
Of far-reaching effect, are now pending In
the lower courts. Some Of them already
have reached the Supreme Court: others
viii follow in the course of time. As an
Associate Justice, It is held that Nj
Moody cannot sit tn judgment on any Of
this class of suits with which he had TO
do as Attorney General In judicial ter
minology, he will be rescued. and
therefore debarred from hearing them.
Hence. but eight members Of the court
can Try these cases. The court has been

ment Of his successor as a relief 10 the
other members. who are OverWOTked. iii

De Almond, of Missouri.

Representative David A. De Almond,

by reason Of his having proposed the
calling of a national constitutional con-
vention. has been a member Of the House
continuously for sixteen years. and has
been reelected for a ninth term He is
one of the really forceful factors in ma
tlonal legislation. Before coming to Con-
gross he had had a long and varied cx-
perience in the public affairs of his State.
at one time being a member OF the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court. His decisions while
q member OF that tribunal rank high
among the judicial opinions Of the day.
He Is recognized as one OF the most pro
found students Of constitutional law and
government in public life. He does not
speak often IN the House. but whenever
he does he is listened TO with an interest
and respect that are accorded only a
comparatively few Democrats. He has
the bitteTest tongue Of any member OF
either branch of Congress. and when he
pitches into the Republicans the hair
flies, and the air is sulphurous while ne
is on his feet. 1t is curious fact that
although he had had many a bout with
Speaker Cannon from opposite sides of

Adee and Els shoes.


A member of the House who has had
a good deal OF business recently with
Assistant Secretary of State Adee de-
clares that the latter Is the owner Of "a
greater number of shoes than any other
person he has ever known. He avows that
Mr.. Adee keeps il his Office at the State
Department no fewer than fifteen or
twenty pairs Of shoes. and that he has
learned that the Assistant Secretary OF
State has constantly on hand at his home
an equal if not a larger number. Mr.
Adee is by no means a dude. He has
not accumulated his shoes because of
any fad. but merely for the comfort that
he has learned can only be obtained by
having constantly on hand a multiplicity
Of shoes. It appears that when he ar
rives AT his Office in the morning after
brisk walk from his home he i'm
mediately changes his shoes. and that
through the day he makes several other
changes. whenever his pedal extremities
begin 20 feel uncomfortable For The
most part the shoes are all of the same
general pattern. Their owner, however
is careful 10 see that the pair he puts
on this morning is not the pair that he
wore last yesterday.

No town will become good bus
mess center solong as its business
men rely upon a few mercants to
make the effort to bring trade to
town. Too often, the men in few
lines of trade are about the only
ones that reach out after custom.
Other merchants wait until these
men induce the people to come to
town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drifts to their
place. A public spirited man
should ask himself if he is doing his
part in attracting people to town to
trade, and in doing SO, help the en-
tire business community. No town
is a success unless all lines are work
ing to extend the trade as far as pos
sible and trying to bring larger
territory into the circles in which
the town is the business center.
