One Of the most amusing speeches
"Private" Allen ever made in the house
was In support of the bill to tax oleo-
margarine. Representative Tillman OF
South Carolina, brother of Senator Ben
Tillman, had claimed that oleo Is su-
perior to many brands OF butter and
that II was an injustice to the poor
man to prevent his buying It In re-
ply Allen told story of an old negro
who had eaten box OF axle grease,
thinking 1t cheese. Upon being asked
how he liked 1t the old man replied:
"Fo God, boss dat was de ransom
est cheese / eber has eat yet"
"Now, Mr.. Chairman" commented
Allen, II have no doubt that If prop
osition were pending here to prevent
the sale of axle grease for cheese the
gentleman from South Carolina would
deliver us scientific lecture and try
to persuade us 1t was much better and
more wholesome than cheese and that
1t would be a great outrage on the la
boring man to suppress the fraud

One Of Mr.. Aliens most famous
speeches In congress was delivered ln
the summer of 1896, when Speaker
Reed and Major Mckinley were both
candidates for the Republican presi-
dental nomination and as conse-
quence were saying little on public
questions.
Allen began by stating that there had
been considerable comment In the
newspapers respecting the somewhat
unusual silence which had character
lied him in this session. "But, Mr.
Speaker" he continued, "there has
been little in this session Of congress
to inspire Christian man to be 10.

has been silent in these days. There
are many of us leaders who are not
talking much lately"

conspicuous vocation OF the law. The
memory OF his stories and humor still
survives In the national capital. where
few men have been more popular,
The story OF the way Allen got his
title of Private" Is still worth telling,
though the incident happened over
twenty years ago. II was when he
first ran for congress. His opponent
was u General Tucker, and the two
campaIgned together. The general at
one meeting told the crowd how he had
saved their town during the war and
grew particularly eloquent In describ-
ing his sleeping In tent the night be
fore the battle.
Allen, who was not within hundred
miles OF that battle reiolned In his
inimltable manner:
Friends and Fellow Cltizens-lt's MI
true what General Tucker told you about
his sleeping In his tent that night before
the battle. | know all about 1t, for ! was
guarding that tent all night long In the
cold and wet on picket, And now | just
want to say TO all of you who We're gem
erals In the war and slept at nights in
your guarded tents, like General Tucker,
you vote for him. But all you fellows
that guarded the generals tents In the
wet and cold, like me, you vote for PrI-
vate Allen,
That speech gained Allen his sobr-
quet and his election at one and the
same time.

The trouble grew out Of Nevada's pub

acres. which Congress had carelessly
authorized the State TO select as desired.
The Nevada Legislature practically put
the land up at auction, and the result
was that few stOCkmen bought enough
land 10 shoestring and surround and
absolutely control every river, lake, and
water hole in the state
BY doing so, they became virtual pos
SCISSORS OF the rest of che state No one
else could use the public land or make
settlement because OF their control OF
all the water. and IN Nevada water IS
the life-blood OF the land Sixty million
acres were controlled and. In effect
