University of Texas in 1885 as vale

admitted to the bar in 1886 and
,practiced a short time. He took a
course at the University Of Texas
and graduated with an LIB. in
1887.
About this time the boys down
at his home town of Texarkana
elected Bob mayor. He was only %
years old when elected and one Of
the youngest mayors in the United
States. Texarkana traditions are
that he made good. He resigned to
become an assistant in the Office Of
the attorney general and he was in
that Office for something like four
years. He has been member of
congress since 1897 and represents
the Eleventh district, his home now
being in Waco.
Henry has the quality that be-
longs to every man who really makes
a success in congress. This is the
quality of industry, of capacity for
hard work and the will to keep at
it. He is one of the most charming
and likable members Of the house
and is personally extremely popular.
He is born student and has dug
deep into the house rules just as he
digs into every other question that
he has occasion to take up. He is
not wealthy and probably never will
be. AS chairman of the rules COM
mittee he is in position of great
influence in the house and his judg-
ment counts for much among his col

on raw wool and in this he lined mp

the control of the house Henry will

Washington D. c., July TO-
When Representative Bob" Henry
of Texas got up in the house the
other day and turned loose the thun-
ders of his oratory on our diploma
tic multimillionaires. he got a rise
out of the country. If the whole
land did not appreciate something
Of the force of what Henry said,
there are evidences that at least a
good part Of it did. At any rate,
letters, and kilograms of congratula-
ton and commentator are pouring
Il on the Texas congressman in a
fashion that indicates widespread
approval of his sentiments.
Bob" Henry, chairman of the
house rules committee, is not only
one of the ablest members of the
new democratic house, but he is one
of its acknowledged leaders. Be-
sides, he is one of the democrats
with a small ed" He is not enlist
ed with the reactionary group Of
house democrats, but is progressive
without being unduiy radical, who
believes that a democratic house
should convince the country that 1t
can be constructive without being
destructive.
When Henry lambasted diploma
tie snobbery and display abroad, he
was not talking for effect. He was
speaking out of the fullness of the
heart. He is a Woodworking man
himself, simple in manners and
approachable. He doesn't
like the notion of lavish and vulgar
display abroad as 1t is ire 'lsnd ~
some of this country's representa-
tives, and when he talked on this
subject he was doing 1t without
much effort. He insists that the
thing Of filling the diplomatic posts
with men who are able to spend and
do spend vast sums in keeping up
social front is demoralizing to the
service and that It is time
to return to republican simplicity.
"Let us announce to the world"
said he, that the American people
will not put up these great posts Of
diplomatic honors to be plucked by

ng millionaires, but that the plain
