Got Good Committee.


ut is a mistake to say that it is
or that committee to accomplish re-
suits; that unless member secures an
important committee assignment he
can not get the speakers eye, remarked
Congressman Sherley of Kentucky in
the democratic cloak room the other
day.
II was impressed with this soon at
ter came to the house few years
ago. l was DESTROYS Of place on the
rivers and harbors committee because
of its Importance to my state, and l
thought If got on that committee I
might accomplish something. had
my friends see the speaker and write
to him about me. At that time had
never met Mr.. Cannon. One day after
the session opened, I met the speaker
and introduced myself. saying that no
doubt he had heard something about
me, that had caused him lot Of
trouble. He said he had heard OF me.
and that had plenty of good friends.
He then said with twinkle in his
eye. I can not place you on the COM
mittee you want. but you will be q
member of the most important COM
mittee of them ALL he said.
what committee is that?' asked
innocently.
"The committee of the WHOLE he
laughingly replied.
II regarded 1t as joke, but you can
take It from me that the speaker
spoke truthfully. It is in the commit
tee of the whole that q member has
every opportunity to bring out any
thing worth while that is in him. and
IL he Is studious he can make his In
fluence felt on the important legisla-
tion enacted by the house. Every MEM
Der in the committee of the whole
stands on the same footing, and II he
fails to take part In the discussion Of
the bills under consideration he has
no one to blame but himself. The most
important laws on he statute books
have been considered in committee Of
the whole, and amendments that have
. far reaching effect are prepared and
offered In that committee"

day Representative Maynard Of Virgin

waiter stepped forward to take his or
der. Where Is Jim, the regular wait
err" asked the Virginian.
Jim can't wait on you any more"
said the new man.
Whats the trouble; isn't Jim here
any more?" inquired the congressman.
Yes sir, but you see won you last
night Jim and me were playing
craps and won all of Jim's money,
and then he put you up against five
dollars and lost. SO he had to give you
up"
The Virginia congressman is very
liberal with tips. This explains his
value to Jim.

Prohis Rendered Aid.

The story is going the rounds that
the change in the method of appoint
ing the committee on rules and the
elimination of Speaker Cannon from
the committee was due to the influ-
ence of the prohibition movement. For
some years Speaker Cannon has been
charged by prohibitionists with being
responsible for the failure to secure
legislation to regulate the liquor traf-
fic and to establish prohibition in the
national capital. Members have been
flooded with petitions from the pro-
hibitionists urging them to use every
influence at their command to bring
the anti-liquor bills before the house.
The assertion was made by the drys
that this could not be done as long as
Cannon headed the rule committee. It
is not improbable that an attempt will
be made before the session ends to
enact some legislation in line with the
demands of the prohibitionists. This is
question the members are fighting
shy of as they can no longer place
biame on Cannon.

had the understanding that all the
the railroads in recent weeks would be
suspended pending examination and
that the Commission would not allow
the increases 10 take effect unless the
roads could show that they were justi-
fed
But il appears from the announce
