ties in the House and he said the bill
had to go to judiciary under the rules.
There was no way out of it.
And so '1Jncle Joe" smiled easily
and allowed that he had done every
thing he possibly could for the bill,
and "Col. Pete" ragged about the in
tellectual decay of the judiciary COM
mittee, which was meant as a blow at
Chairman Jenkins, probably, and there
was talk about "Col. Pete" raising a
fog regarding the matter and defeat
ing Uncle Joe' for Speaker of the
House next time, and, what was prob
ably most significant of all, "Col
Pete" and Uncle Joe" were meeting
in their inner offices and down in the
barber shop, giving one another a
double handshake and beaming at one
another out of their old eyes.
The great hue and cry went up, Of
course, and the President put sappers
and miners to work to see what could
be done with the judiciary commit
tee. 1t happens that the bill will be
referred to a subcommittee, of which
Representative Charles E. Littleffeld
of Maine is chairman. He is the great
legal giant of the House, fearless and
Independent. But President Roosevelt
has never liked him, since some years
ago when the President called Mr..
Littlefield over to the White House to
tell him what he would like to have
in the way of legislation and Repre-
sentative Littlefield roared back some
thing about having legislative ideas of
his own and by the nine gods of war
he was going to advocate them.
President Roosevelt does not like
that kind of men and he has never had
any use since that day for Represen-
tative Charles E. Littlefield. The
President has made no secret of his
attitude and the little politicians have
used it in Mr.. LittIefield's district to
embarrass him in campaign time.
However Mr.. Littlefield has recently
given notice of his resigna ton from
the House to take up the practise of
law in September and SO he cares as
little as ever what President Roose-
welt wants, if what the President
wants does not comport with what Mr..
Littlefield thinks is constitutional and
proper.
Mr.. Littlefield may or he may not
get busy and report that civic fed
Grafton bill out of his committee.
Speaker Cannon is not goading him on
to it, as far as anybody has been able
to discern, and as some very big prob
lens are involved in that bill, such
things as in part legalizing the boy
colt. Mr.. Littlefield is likely to go
very slowly. The President is not

which considered rate legislation. There
were interstate commerce amendments
to the Sherman law in that bill, but
that bill treated with subjects also that
belong to the judiciary committee and
some of the amendments clearly belong
ed to the judiciary committee.
But at the Congress which the Presi-
ent convened in his White House libra
ny questions of parliamentary law at
the other end of Pennysaylvania Az
enue were not thought of. or, if they
We're, were regarded as unimportant.
Things came about as they sometimes
do at football game, The pigskin was
put into play with an understanding
that it should be passed around one
end of the line. All eyes We're intent
upon its going that way, where "Col.
Pete Hepburn would grab it and adj
vance it up the field by many, many
yards. "Oh. how that old veteran will
sprint with it,, the Presidents admit
rerS said. HE will have that ball out
of his Interstate Commerce Committee
in a jiffy. Back it will come to the
House and then we will see. Oh, we
guess the House will pass it. all right,
all right Uncle joe can not help him
self if he would. The President still
knows how to make Congress hop up"
The ball went around the other end
OF the line, alas and alack. The best
information is that that fine old
strategist, Col Pete" Hepburn, knew
it would all the time and was laugh
ing in his sleeve at the tremendous
preparations and expectations of the
White House. Whether he did or not
he flew into a fine rage and talked
about the judiciary committee having
gone into decay. As was said, how
ever the ball went around the unex-
pected end of the line, and Represen-
tative John ]. jenkins of Wisconsin,
chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
had it when the scrimmage was over
Uncle joe preserved a most placid
demeanor all through the proceedings.
1t was nothing of his work. Not for
a minute. Ask his parliamentarian
that gifted man. who, as the Speaker
himself once said, knows more parlia-
1nentary law than the Speaker and
the leader of the Democratic minority,
John Sharp Williams, put together.
