That does not mean that he ia a moor
speaker. On the contrary. the words NJ
no senator are listened to with snch keen
interest by his colleagues even those
OF Aldrich. That sandy grain in his drv
voice accentustes the cutting satire which
he sometimes uses. He can dismiss a SUBJ
ject with magnificent CONTEMPT In a way
that few senators can equal.
He is what in Maine they call an Oxford
bear That Is what they call the men from
Oxford county, that fine little breeding
Portland, where Lake Penneseewsssee is.
There have been many Oxford bears who
have won high place in the nation. lint
none to whom the word seems more
thoroughly applicable than to Hale. The
square built man with the angry. square
face, looks the part. II you knew that
certain breed of Maine men were called
Oxford bears, and you met Hale and were
told that he came from Maine, you would
nut him down instinctively as one.

II the real landmark Of American his
tory were known as we'll as those battle
fields where nothing was decided, but
where guides are hired to tell the story,
men would be employed to point out
Hale's committee room. That is where
the course OF history for the United
States has come to be determined of late
wears. II is the COMMITTEES room on naval
affairs. for he Is the chairman OF that com.
mittee. II isa little room, and NAV have
been too small sometimes for the men who
came to decide on the nations policy; but
that cannot often have been the case, for
IL does not take many men to do that. In
il, alongside Hale's table is a rocking
chair of the kind YOU see in every we'll
regulated Maine farmhouse. You know
the Maine rocking chair; there Is dis
tinctive character about it that you don't
find in any other kind OF chair.
