The following in the Detroit Free
Press. under a Washington date line,
will be of interest to Georgians:
Washington, D. Gust because
the regular and insurgent republic
cans are farther apart than either
faction is from the democrats it came
about Monday that Senator Bacon,
from Georgia, a democrat of demo-
Gratis, presided as president protein
pore in the absence of Vice-President
Sherman, and he was chosen by
unanimous vote of every senator
present after Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah, a regular of regular republic
cans, had arisen previously and NOV
ed that the distinguished senior SEN
ator from Georgia be selected to
serve in that capacity on Monday"
Whereat democrats of all degrees
and descriptions perked up as they
had not since their idol from Pike
county Missouri, was selected April
to WELD the gavel in the house of
representatives, and throughout the
legislative day of Monday last there
was a continuous procession of the
faithful, according to the doctrines
of Jefferson, first to one end of the
capitol and then to the other, all jul
bilant at having democrats enthron-
ed at either end.
"Now," exclaimed each one as he
turned satiated with the sights,
''Now, I say, let me behold the white
house similarly decorated and I am
content"
Contrarywise, it was a blue Mon
day for the republl cans. Over in the
senate, over since receipt some
months before his death of Senator
Frye's resignation as president pro

been trying to elect Senator Gal
linger as his successor; but the in
surgents, holding the balance Of pow
er, voted otherwise, and neither
democrats, republicans or insurgents
were able to elect their favorite. AL
ways, however, Augustus Octavius
Bacon of Macon, Ga, led with the
largest vote cast for any one man.
Inwardly republicans groaned
while democrats grinned, Monday,
while Bacon, armed with the ivory
headed gavel, raped on the desk and
called gthe senate to order Why, it
was the nearest to having demo-
cratic administration any one had
known since Cleveland was presi-
dent. But Senator Charles EIroy
Townsend of Jackson, Mich, denied
it was marking the way to permit
ting the democrats to have a perma-
nent president pro tenn. Senator
Townsend expressed himself thus
about it,
"It was done because it was the
only practical thing that could be
done"
The republican regulars alone
could not elect anybody. Nor could
the insurgents or the democrats.
As compared with Champ Clark
Augustus o. Bacon is Jovian, eter-
nally calm, Southern figure as cool
and smooth as one of the old Greek
statues, all comfortably arranged in
linen garments, white shirted, white
tied, a truly typical senator, conven-

tionalized and polished off to the
last degree. He was captain in
the confederate army, took up law
later, and has been in politics ever
since. Incidentally Senator Bacon is
not candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination, wherein lies
still another distinction not only as
between himself and Speaker Clark
but also as between himself and al
most everybody else in the parry.
From the Olympian one-day's
reign Of Augustus Octavius it is a
long cry to the extremely human rule
of Speaker Clark. Yet the old-timers

order than did Uncle Joe" Cannon.

Pandemonium usually follows this
injunction, and the gavel falls like
a wooden-headed clapper striking

upper lip in a belligerent way that is
all his own-the signal for speech
and repeats:

of order. The Speaker counts noses.

sixty-one members present-not a

after three-quarters of an hour it is

defeated on a strictly party vote.
But for all that Speaker Clark is
given credit for maintaining remark

Robert Norris is generally credited
as the financial genius OF the war. yet
the man behind him and upon whom
he depended much was Jew Of Phila-
delphia Haym Solomon. It seems TO be
a peculiar trick Of history that this
famous financier should be unknown
and his name seldom mentioned. He
was born at LISA, Poland and came
to New York I'm I772 When the Brit
ish occupied the city he was imprisOn-
ed as a sympathiZer of the colOnists
and was a prisoner until 1778 when he
escaped to Philadelphia. There he
went into business and soon aCCumu-
lated fortune. Robert Morris in his
diary mentions him not less than IS
times and he was the largest indiTid-
ual depositor in the Bank Of North
America, that Norris founded. It seems
more than a coincidence that on the
day Robert Norris deposited $4,000
he received just exactly that sum from
Solomon.
Throughout those troublous times the
leaders Of the revolution always found
an open purse in Philadelphia and
many of them depended for a longer or
shorter time on his generosity to carry
them through periods of want. Jeffer-
