didn't stir the conscience of congress in the mat
ter of taking railroad passes he did stir the feel
ings of the public. The pass matter a result
of Representative Bakers agitation dis.
cussed in the public press more than 1t ever had
been discussed before, and the way was paved
for the anti-pass provision in the railroad rate
bill.
Robert Baker was not reelected. He was Civ
en- a position however, which paid him $4,000
year. He deliberately resigned from this we'll
paying position because he believed that while
holding it he could not consistently preach GER
tain of his beliefs concerning the methods OF
government.
Henry NJ Goldfogle representative in
gress from New York city, in a speech In the
house gave those of his colleagues whose know
edge of history does not extend to details an
interesting chapter concerning a Jewish patriot
of the revolutionary period who gave up his
money to help the government out of financial
straits Mr.. Goldfoge, like the generous one Of
past generation, is Jew, and he took a proper
pride in the deed Of the man Of his faith.
In some respects this story of the giving of
money to the government by Hyman Salomon.
the Jewish citizen, is one of the most remark
able which ever has been called to the attention
of congress. The country does not know much
about It, 1t ought to know all about it and 1t
ought to appreciate not only the generosity of the
patriot but the action of the patriots descend
ants who gave congress one of the biggest sur
Hyman Solomon, like Robert Morris, helped
the government out literally when it was In fnan-
clal straits and when there seemed little likeli-
hood that any OF his money would be returned.
Robert Morris has place IN every school his
tory, and the boy who doesn't know about the
friend of liberty who impoverished himself for
the government stands below the foot of his his
tory class
Neither the school books the encyclopo
das seem to have given much attention to Hy-
man Solomon, who parted with his shekels for
the benefit Of Uncle Sam In his speech in con.
gress Mr.. Goldfogle did something for the mem
ory of the financier and even more for the fame

which may be perfectly apparent to everybody
that knows anything about him, was called in the

A copy of the skit fell under Senator Bever-
idge's eye. 1t amused him immensely. He hung
it on the wall of his room and showed it to call
ers. Finally one day it occurred to him that
Rockyboy and his band had done him service
OF amusement and he concluded that turn about

look into Rockyboy's' and find out how 1t
was that for years congress had refused to go to
the aid Of some of its wards who at the
point of starvation at least six months of the
year. The senator apparently thought that it
wouldn't hurt the members Of the Rockyboy band
to have a few square meals, even though they
were not the most deserving reds in the land.
The senator did look into the case, and found
that Rockyboy and his wandering Montana band
were worthy of consideration. He made Rocky
boys cause his own from that hour. and it was
not long before bill For the relief of the wan

a few years ego Robert Eaker of Brooklyn
represented the Sixth New York district in con-
gress Mr.. Bakers career somewhat stormy.
He was known as a Socialist, but he elected
on the Democratic ticket. Mr.. Bakers fellow
members said of him that he "erratic, effer-
vescent. somewhat noisy, but always sincere"
There scores of men who sat in the
lower house of congress during Mr.. Bakers term
who hoped, perhaps for sheer curiostys sake.
that he would be sent to congress again in order
that he might finish a speech which he once be-
gan but not allowed to bring to an end.
The blocking of the ending of the Brooklyn
members address fell in this wise: Mr.. Baker
had spoken the single tax system and on the
iniquties of all other kinds of taxation He had
been given 20 minutes to unburden himself
bill "To amend the law relating to taxation In
the District Of Columbia" When the 20 minutes
were up the chairman's gavel hit the desk with
a thump that shivered Of Saker's best SEN
tences
The Brooklynite begged for ten minutes more,
but the member who in charge OF the de-
bate on behalf of the Democratic minority cru
ely cut him off, but, relenting allowed him one
minute in which to continue. This gratuity
made Baker look IL he felt insuted, but for
the good of his cause he grasped the feeting mo-
ment and did what he could with it
He told Mr.. Babcock, chairman CT the District

1ng and who for conscience sake kept at his
work and refused to pay the government levy
This view that Baker took of the inherent
right of a man to work at peddling or anything
else without paying for the privilege was not
new. 1t had been advanced occasionally in con-
gress, and frequently elsewhere, by men of GER
tain bent OF mind. Mr.. Baker, however, took the
last 80 seconds of the minute allotted to him to
spring something novel and it was for the finish
ing Of that half-mnute speech that certain of the
congressman whose curiosity was piqued are
anxious
The Brooklyn member told his fellow mem
bers pointblank and without any explanatory
reasons that they guilty of causing the
deaths Of $50 out of every 1000 babies that were
born. Naturally, after being arraigned for whole
sale murder in this way, the members were anx-
ious to know along what lines their guilt lay.
Baker, however, paused after he had accused his
fellows OF being modern Herods in the matter of
the slaughter of the innocents, and before he
had chance to show willingness to let the
members know whether they were sending in
fants to the grave by fire, steel the rope, his
time was up and he shut off by the chairman
of the committee Of the whole, and as a result
a great murder mystery still hangs over the
house of representatives.
When the Grand Duke Sergus was killed Mr.
Baker made a speech in the house which ndi.
rectly attempted to justify the throwing OF the
bomb the explosion of which brought death to the
duke. There is a good deal of conservatism in
Bakers marks on the assassination of Sergius

To Robert Baker is due a large part of the
credit for the legislation which prevents mem

Something Bizarre.

Just now both in street and house
gowns there is an inclination to introduce
the bizarre. For the present it does not
amount to much for street wear, for SIM
pie lines are the only ones to which heavy
woolIen materials suitably adapt them
selves. In spite of this. swathed and
draped effects are introduced sometimes,
either real or simulated. by rows of trim
ming or borders of fringe. but this is
hardly serious influence now. though it
would not be surprising to find it so when
the spring models appear.
For winter the most remarkable fanta-
sizes are played on the note of tartan,
which is adapted to startling panels and
facings, and in eccentric colors has at
times an extraordinary effect. On more
judicious lines, however. tartan gives ac-
tually the most distinguished finishing
touch to winter gown.
In the evening, when supple stuffs are
worn, fantastic notions in drapery may
have it all their own way. One example
is of crepe de chine, a delicious fabric for
draping, and the foundation of the skirt is
chosen in brocaded crepe. The drapery
starts at the center of the back. is
brought over the shoulder. and forms,
with sleeve to match. one part of the
bodice the rest of which is Of brocade
save for the sleeve and yoke, which are
also of crepe.
On the skirt the drapery begins at the
