Senatorial Industry.

On the Senate Military Committee
Senator Warren devours work as though
he relished It; he often remains in
his room at the Capitol until past
midnight.
"why do you work so hard?" he Ia
asked.
Have YOU no pride in your work ,"
is the reply. as the busy man looks
up under the green shade that he wears
to relieve his eyes. as he dives into "A
mass of papers. when you wish to
do everything just right. il becomes a
matter of pride as well as of con-
science"
After spending the afternoon at the
sessions. many of the senators work
late into the night in order to finish
up work on the various committees
The assiduous attendance OF sena-
tors at the meetings OF the various
committees consumes enough time to
battle even an Industrious man. Long
hours Of plain, hard work are essen
tial-and no pay for overtime. Senator
Bailey paid deserved tribute to his
Republican colleagues when he insist
ed that the Senate ought not to con-
vene until O'Clock. to give members
time to complete their committee work
in the morning and enable them to
attend the session.--Joe Mitchell
