CONGRESSIONAL PAGES.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
How is it possible for a boy to get a
position as page in the House of Repre-
sentatives9 L. L. H.
pages are employed in the House OF
Representatives and in the Senate. In
the House not every Representative
has a voice in selecting the pages-this
privilege is not equitably distributed.
The Senators, however, have a certain
amount-about 50, S00-given them to
use as salaries for the incumbents OF
such offices as they may see fit to
create. Some Senators bestow the
whole amount upon n man, who as
sists them. Others apportion it among
several assistants. If a Senator APP
points a page he must pay him $75 a
month. Practically no education is
necessary, as the boys do nothing but
carry papers and messages back and
forth. The salary of pages in the
House is also SIS a month. Apply to a
Senator or Congressman for the posi-
tion.-Ed.]
