1 amendment. Thomas P Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, and Henry
 Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.
 Senator Bacon of Georgia is a hard
 worker. and may be classed as one Of the leaders on the democratic side. MT. Gore Is one of tho most interesting members of the body not only because
 of his blindness. but for his magnetic
 power on the floor. He may be in-
 discreet al times and may say things
 that would be best left unsaid, but he
 always claims the attention of the
 floor and the galleries when he rises to his feet.
 He is a power on the democratic side.
 would Ike to say here, with Henry B. Grays permission. that Senator Hey burn of Idaho reminds me very much of the ex-lieutenant governor of Birming- ham. There is striking resemblance in voice and manner They are about the same size. though Hepburn is short on good appareance and erect carriage.
 I have also been struck with the re- semblance between John II. Marble, coun- sel for the Lorimer Investigating com- mittee. and Hugh Morrow of Birming- ham. They do not only resemble in fea- ture but in manner While examining Charles s. Funk, general manager of the International Harvester company yester udN 1lOTIlnB. Sdb tipSS btSihN A'i'Ai 'l ~ and had a fine opportunity to study his personality. He had habit of massag- ing his face with his hands as he fired question after question at the witness iIf slow. deliberate. but unhesitating di- reetness that almost brought responses before the most artful witness on the stand had carefully weighed the ques- ton and it's relation to the questions that might follow.
 Marble has the sallow complexion, the full lower forehead. the same eyes and the same mouth as Mir Morrow. His de- Lucrative tone of voice and the compell- ing directness as he seems to burn hole into the conscience of the witness with every question is almost an exact counterpart of the popular legislator and counsellor of Birmingham.
 You discover the first dissimilarity when Marble rises to his feet. He is consid- erablY taller than MT. Morrow.
 Senator Lorimer is an object of much interest to the man who sees him for the first time. He is about five feet eight inches high and almost as large around. He has a very large head with a heavy shock of hair that is very brown, bor dering on red. His face is of the same tinge. He sits through all the hearings and does not finch while his character is, being dragged through the blackest of mire, though there is a deep sadness about his mouth and eyes that gain your pity in spite of yourself. His eyes are large, almost pleading. He is silent.
 Miss Mary Clayton of Eufaula, who has been spending several days with her brother, Congressman Henry D. Clayton in Washington has gone to Boston, where she will spend a few weeks with another brother, Maj. Bert rom T Clayton, |. s. A.
 Robert Stevens of Corey has filed a bid of S900 q year for the rental and equipment of the new postoffice at Corey. The bid was to cover a period of five years and will probably be ac- cepted by the department by agreement with Robert Jemson. Jr., the only oth- CT bidder, whose bid is some larger than that of Mir. Stevens.
 Through the efforts of Senator John ston, Miss Marion R. Livingston. who was recently given position In the census bureau, will be retained in her present position for some time at least. The extraordinary work in this depart ment caused by the taking of the thir- teenth census has about been finished and the force is being gradually cut down to it's normal and Miss Livingston was scheduled as one of the numerous employees who are being checked off.
 Congressman Burnett has accepted an invita- ton to make Fourth of July speech in Winston county.
