One Of the Missouri representatives
in Washington who did some cam,
paigning with Folk during The con.
test Of a year ago tells a story Illus.
trative Of the danger Of the rhetorical
question.
At a small town where Folk was
billed to speak a portly man named
siddons had been scheduled to act as
presiding officer. He felt the import
ance and dignity Of the occasion
keenly, but without knowing very
much to say. In opening he ramb1ed
on about national issues and the past
glories of the Democratic party till
finally he reached the State situation.
which he promptly declared was Of
overwhelming Importance to the PEG.
pie of Missouri. To work up a climax
be began:
II will ask you this question: Who
is this man that has been named for
the goyernorship?' say, Who is 10,
seph W. Folk?"
ooh, thunder!" squeaked the shriv'
elled up little man in one Of the front

WASHINGTON
Day BY Day
SPEAKER CANNON IS GETTING
LOTS OF WORK OUT OF CON-
eREssMEN-sPooNER's
MISTAKE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
Neither the oldest inhabitant nor his
cousins nor his aunts are able to recall
any Congress so Industrious as the
one now in session. The House works
liz days in the week and at least five
hours a day, all of which is in contra
Tention Of the old established customs
Heretofore it has been the rule that
ME House worked not more than half
nat many hours on about four days of
theweek. Under that leisurely way of
doing business really serious work was
never begun until the winter had well
pent itself and the balmy days of
sIring had come.
n Speaker Cannon insists on work
hg IKE this all the time the present
sssston will come to an end some time
ia May. Tie Speaker would like to
1--WE It all over by April.
Congress has adjourned in April,
but that was such rare event that the
nldest inhabitants are still talking
about II. That was about eight years
agu. when the newly.retuned,topower
Republican administration was trying
toimake a record.
Speaker Cannon does not like to pre-
sffp over the body of which he is the
KeaE The honor of the thing appeals
10 him, but the drudgery of sitting on
ne high seat is irksome. If the House
nm only sit in committee of the whole
IN day the Speaker will manage to be
ltrl5 happy. To make him wholly
happy It would become necessary for
euatom to make It all right for the
Speaker to have the right to intervene,
By nuBTFc word of mouth, in all the
lights that come up. AS chairman of
nc Committee on Appropriations he
appeared at his best. Then he was
really happy, although he thought he
VonEd be happier as Speaker so they
gave him that honor.

but added nothing 70 his fame as a



It was an anxious time Chief Clerk
DENLY Of the State Department had
while escorting the members Of the
Chinese commission about the city,
showing them them how Americans
carry on the affairs Of the government.
He knows all the tricks of etiquette
that any man needs know, but there
were so many in the party that look
alike to him that, unless he counted
the Wisconsin Senator to an explosion
them upon leaving an Office or build.
ing he was not certain that his reti,
nue. was complete. He counted them
all right, but not by that rude way
Of Speaker Cannon's of pointing at the
individual whom he is registering. In.
stead, Genby counted the visitors on
his fingers much as the dull boy at
school performs sums in addition dur.
ing the class on mental arithmetic, If
the teacher is not looking at him. Not
one of the dozen or two that look SO
much alike to DENLY has been lost.
Senator Knox is receiving common
dation from many sources for the ap.
pointment of Daniel Ashworth to be
Pension Agent at Pittsburg, for which
the Senator is, of course, duly grateful,
because the distribution Of patronage
is one of the meanest duties Senator
has to perform.
The Senator has one letter he. will
always treasure. 1t was written by a
very well known man who would have
taken the Office II he could have had
it without contest. His name was
not mentioned among the candidates
and 1t will not be now. In his letter
the man said there could have been
only one person appointed who would
have made better agent, or whose Sc
lection would have been more pleasing
to the writer but modesty forbade him
