T HERE are six United States sena-
tors who are not eligible to the
presidency because OF having been
born abroad and they are free from
the buzzing OF ambitious bees, having
reached the highest elective office to
which they are eligible under the pro-
hi5ition of the constitution. Senator
Gallinger, chairman OF the committee
on the District of Columbia, was born
in Canada, but went to New Hamp-
shire at so early an age that his
friends would long ago have forgotten
that he was not born there We're the
fact of his birthplace not occasion

the senate from Minnesota, was born

50 many of his constituents. Senator

CHANDLER SUCCESSFUL
AGAIN AS PEACEMAKER

H17 H17ASHINGTON.-The fears enter
" tanned that because of their sharp
interchange of compliments recently
over the race question Senators
Spooner and Tillman would not again
be friends have failed to materialize.
Apparently they are now as chummy
as they were before this exciting col
loquy threatened to make them enc

Tor awhile, but each obviously has for
given and forgot, for they are seen to-
gether quite as much as formerly.
Their reconciliation was brought
about only few days ago, and it is
said that Hon. William Eaton Chand-

concord was the intermediary. Mr..
Chandler is q warm friend of both OF
them, and at little informal lunch

guests. Neither knew that the otnel
had been invited to sit at the hos
pitable board of the New Hampshire
statesman, or perhaps both would
have automatically declined the In
vitation. At the luncheon no refer
ence, of course, was made to their
spirited colloquy in open senate that
led to personalities, but the host Kept
them in such merry mood that when
the luncheon was over they found
themselves as fast friends as they had
ever been.
1t is recalled that on certain mem.
orable occasion, not so long ago, Mr..
Chandler declared that he would never
again essay the role OF Deacemaker,
but he then had cause to feel that his
pacificatory efforts had taken too
broad a sweep to be effective, and so
he has ceased to brood moodily over
the most notable failure of his career
as a peacemaker between great men.
