MILITARY LIFE AS THE STEPPING STONE ID CRAFTSMANSHIP Members of the Senate and House Who Have Served
 on Field of Battle
BUT EIGHT SENATORS
 ARE VETERANS
Only Few Years Ago the Great Majority of Men in Both Houses Were Those With War
 Records
By C. F.. STEWART

Washington, December 17-(Speciat)- To the youth who aspires to some day become a great Statesman, and be unit
 in the great legislative scheme of the United States. by coming to congress, there is no surer route to his ambition than becoming a soldier. Of course, the mere act. of being a soldier is not of it. self sufficient, he must see action and distinguish himself upon the field of bat tie. all of which the American youth is prone to do, if he only has the oppor- unity. Unfortunately, the government Is rather peacefully inclined and it's neglect in furnishing a war every ten years or SD has been a severe handicap to those inclined to the military, and has also allowed many bright lights from civil life to find their way into the halls of con gross, because there were not enough war heroes to fill all the jobs.
 There are vet many representatives in congress who fought in the civil war; but the time was. and only a few years back. that a great majority in congress on both sides of the chamber were vet erans of the war, and the only reason that the other callings are now having an inning is the fact that the old veter- ans are passing away and there is not enough of them left to perform the legis- lative duties of the republic.
