Buying your paper on the streets Of

That man from Wisconsin had a level

writer's brother refused a nomination

Senate Hoar's old district at Sc, 900 a

OF Massachusetts and knew just how
these things worked out. Then Mr..
Hoar went to congress he refused to

1T was impossible to discriminate in
many cases as to whether law business
was given to one purely on a business
basis. or in hopes of benefit to ones
interests. When Mr.. Hoar went to con-
eress he had accumulated in the prac-
tfce of law 800, 900 which in those days
would give him an income beyond his
salary of at least $1,000. He was in
congress some thirty years. He had
but one child. a son and his was a fami-
~ of simple tastes. The only thing in
which he was at all inclined to ex-
travagance. was in having a good ref
erence library, for which he had need.
A short time before he died he said
that another couple of years would see
last OF that 500, 900. not lost by bad in
vestment but slowly lived up. This
means that living in a quiet old fash

$4,000 a year.

Judge Harlan at the time he was mar

hung over him at the time of his death
although he had children in middle life.

a man to go to congress bankrupt, said

of rigid economy he might be able, to
pay what he owed them. He was so
successful that although he paid over

will be too strong for the average man.
For instance a few months ago Sena-
tor Gore testified that he was offered
SIS. 600 or $50. 600 If when a bill for the
sale of some very valuable Indian coal
land in his state was up, he would
simply sit glued to his seat and keep
his mouth shut. He knew the charac-
ter of that coal deal andw his duty to

proposition to a man of weak charac-
ter of that coal deal and his duty TO

poor men like LaFo1lette tina as popu-

with their salaries. but there is danger
that giving a sufficient number of

Can you tell mo anything about the
impeachment Of United States Senator
William etount Of Tennessee?
Blount was charged with compile.
ity in the attempt to seize Florida and
Louisiana in 1907. BIount had writ
ten letters TO Carey. a Cherokee in
terpreter. urging him to stir up the
Cherokee Indians to aid him in the in
vasion Of the Floridas.
These letters fell into the hands of
United States officers, who sent them
to President Adams, who in urn COM
municnfed them to congress Just as
that body was about to adjourn.
Blount during a recess resigned his
seat In the senate and was elected to
the state senate Of Tennessee and cho-
sen its president. When the trial came
he refused to attend. but his counsel
held that the case should not proceed
for two reasons-frst, the constitution
empowered the SENATE to try Officers"
on impeachment charges only and a
senator was not such an officer" Sec
ond. that Blount. being no longer a
member Of the senate. could not be
tried as such. The senate decided that
1T had no Jurisdiction. Blount resided
the rest OF his life in Tennessee. No
further attempt was ever made to i'm
peach him.

What Is the origin Of "Mind your Pc

There are two different origins. one
that 1T came from the custom Of chalk

owed for were made by strokes oppo-

ond is that 1t came from the printing

man type are so near alike that they
are always puzzling the printers ap-
prentice. 50 Mind your P's and Q's"
was a common injunction in the print

JACK CAMPBELL HAS kN
 ARIZONA SON AND HEIR
Los Angeles Newspaperman Is Father of Two Native Born Arizonians;
 The Reason Why

Intelligence cometh from Tucson vay of the birth there of a son and heir to Jack Campbell newspaperman. He is called heir merely out of courtesy to Mir CampbelIs position in the newspaper world. none but he having vet been able to bless them selves with the needful that may be inherited.
 This is the second child of J. Campbell and his lady. Here again ia a chance for jealousy, for so few peWspapermcn have either wives or children. The firstborn was a girl. SheIl be society editor Kid mum Der two is a boy. He will be a journalist Ahem.
 Both the Campbell kids are Ari- znnians, though daddy works in Los Angeles at the job of being city editor of the Herald Campbell used to was the city ed. of the Citizen at Tucson, where he met and married Miss Florence Fish. a scion of one of Tucson's most prominent "old fam flies" On that account both his children are native born. and nc doubt by the time they grow old enough to shovel words into a Rem ington they will admit it with due pride.

ON A. HOT TRAIL

The Baltimore Sun thinks just as the News has expressed itself on this lobby inquiry That staid old journay believes that the 'insidious" lobbyist that President Wilson spoke of has been trailed close to his lair. The inquiry is getting mighty close to the senate on the matter of sugar lobbying. Says the Sun:
 The senate lobby investigation is getting somewhere and toward some thing very definite when it brings out tho fact that the franks of the United States senators have been u~ed for the free distribution of vast quantities of partisan literature print cG at government expense on the question of the sugar tariff The senatorial frank has been abused out rageOusly for years. but probably never so grossly and unblushingly as in this case. Whatever the tariff views of senators may be, they are placing themselves in a position which no self-rcspecting man would desire to occupy when they allow professional lobbyists to use the sen atorial privilege for the circulation of arguments for or against tariff re- vision. prepared by the salaried rep rcsentatives of special interest
