Washington April 27.--Victor Berg
er OF Milwaukee is the lone socialist
in congress. His party could not be
better represented in the national leg
islature. for Berger is IA clear thinker
and good debater. He has mad the hon
or Of introducing many bills. Few
of them, however, have ever received
the serious consideration OF his col.
leagues.
Berger never forgets the common
people. They are the objects of his
constant solicitude. While others
sing the praises Of the rich. and pow
erful, Berger tries to find something
good 10 say about the poor and I'M
fortunate. Hence his colleagues in the
house the other day were not sur
prised when he arose and declared
that "the real heroes Of the Titanic
went down 10 death unsung and their
bravery uuheraIded-and the million
aires are getting credit for such a
